Lyrics
[Verse]
In the shadows I walk alone
They whisper hey aren't you the one
But they don't see the heart I bare
Kind and gentle it's so unfair
[Verse 2]
Helped a stranger just the other day
Gave my love in an honest way
But the rumors they keep comin' 'round
Labeled me before they hear the sound
[Chorus]
Ain't me gee not the guy you see
I'm more than what they say to be
Ain't me gee I’ve been true and real
Don’t they know the kindness I feel
[Verse 3]
Look in my eyes see through the lies
I'm just a soul on a humble rise
Every gesture every gentle move
Misunderstood with something to prove
[Verse 4]
Walking down these empty lanes
Accused of playing foolish games
No matter what I say or do
They just believe what isn’t true
[Bridge]
Hey girl look at me
No mask no deceit
I’m right here with a heart that's pure
Not what they say can't you be sure
[Intro]
[Upbeat rock and roll piano riff]
[Verse 1]
(Woke up this mornin’, head full of dreams)
Future callin’, not what it seems
(Got a ticket for a time machine ride)
Gonna shake this town from side to side
[Chorus]
(I got that future fever, baby)
It’s burnin’ in my soul
(Future fever, darlin’)
It’s gonna rock ‘n’ roll
[Verse 2]
(Met a girl from 2525)
Man, oh man, she’s so alive
(She showed me dancin’ I never knew)
Now I’m twisted all through and through
[Bridge]
(The clock’s spinnin’, spinnin’ around)
Yesterday’s lost, can’t be found
(Tomorrow’s knockin’ at my door)
Gotta answer, can’t ignore
[Verse 3]
(Jumped in my rocket, painted bright red)
Cosmic highway straight ahead
(Stars are boppin’ to a brand new beat)
Even the moon’s movin’ to the heat
[Chorus]
(I got that future fever, baby)
It’s burnin’ in my soul
(Future fever, darlin’)
It’s gonna rock ‘n’ roll
[Verse 4]
(But hold on tight, here comes a twist)
The future’s got me in a mist
(My rocket’s failin’, engines die)
Stranded in the starry sky
[Bridge]
(Floatin’, driftin’ in outer space)
Lost in time, without a place
(Crazy rhythms in my head)
Are they real or am I dead?
[Verse 5]
(Then I hear it, a distant song)
It pulls me in, oh so strong
(It’s the blues from way back when)
Bringin’ me back home again
[Final Chorus]
(That future fever’s cooled down, baby)
But the music’s in my soul
(Got a new fever, darlin’)
It’s the real rock ‘n’ roll
[Outro]
(So listen children, here’s what I say)
Don’t chase tomorrow, live today
(‘Cause the greatest sound you’ll ever know)
Is the beat of now, the real rock ‘n’ roll
[End]
