Gus Dudgeon - I'm Going To Be A Teenage Idol lyrics

[Verse 1] Well there's slim times when my words won't rhyme And the hills I face are a long hard climb I just sit cross legged with my old guitar It kind of makes me feel like a rock and roll star Well it makes me laugh Lord it makes me cry And I think for once let me just get high Let me get electric put a silk suit on Turn my old guitar into a tommy gun [Chorus] And root-toot-shoot myself to fame Every kid alive going to know my name An overnight phenomenon like there's never been A motivated supersonic king of the scene I'll be a teenage idol, just give me a break I'm going to be a teenage idol no matter how long it takes You can't imagine what it means to me I'm going to grab myself a place in history A teenage idol that's what I'm gonna be [Verse 2] Well life is short and the world is rough And if you're going to boogie boy you got to be tough Nobody knows if I'm dead or alive I just drink myself to sleep each night And so I pray to the teenage god of rock If I make it big let me stay on top You got to cut me loose from this one room dive Put me on the ladder keep this boy alive [Chorus]
