Love And Death And An American Guitar (Album Version) - Jim Steinman[00:00:00]
I remember everything[00:00:11]
I remember every little thing as if it happened only yesterday[00:00:14]
I was barely seventeen and I once killed a boy with a fender guitar[00:00:19]
I don't remember if it was a telecaster or a stradacaster[00:00:26]
But I do remember that it had a heart of chrome[00:00:30]
And a voice like a horny angel[00:00:33]
I don't remember if it was a telecaster or a stradacaster[00:00:37]
But I do remember that it wasn't at all easy[00:00:40]
It required the perfect combination of the right power chords[00:00:45]
And the precise angle from which to strike[00:00:49]
The guitar bled for about a week afterward[00:00:53]
And the blood was ugh dark and rich like wild berries[00:00:56]
The blood of the guitar was chuck berry red[00:01:03]
The guitar bled for about a week afterward but it rung out beautifully[00:01:08]
And I was able to play notes that I had never even heard before[00:01:14]
So I took my guitar and I smashed it against the wall[00:01:22]
I smashed it against the floor[00:01:29]
I smashed it against the body of a varsity cheerleader[00:01:31]
Smashed it against the hood of a car[00:01:34]
Smashed it against a 1981 Harley Davidson[00:01:36]
The Harley howled in pain the guitar howled in heat[00:01:40]
And I ran up the stairs to my parents' bedroom[00:01:44]
Mummy and daddy were sleeping in the moonlight[00:01:49]
Slowly I opened the door creeping in the shadows[00:01:55]
Right up to the foot of their bed[00:01:59]
I raised the guitar high above my head[00:02:01]
And just as I was about to bring the guitar crashing down[00:02:04]
Upon the center of the bed my father woke up screaming stop[00:02:08]
Wait a minute stop it boy what do ya think you're doin'[00:02:12]
That's no way to treat an expensive musical instrument[00:02:19]
And I said god dammit daddy[00:02:24]
You know I love you but you got a hell of a lot[00:02:29]
To learn about rock an' roll[00:02:33]
