Baby’s Got Rockets

Written by Bob Bortnick and Mark Linkous

LYRICS
I walked into the wild red night
Pretending it’s a different light
Playing decay games on someone else’s street
Now I just can’t control the cage
I’m living on a different kind of rage
These days, but I see you do too
Well I’m gonna count to ten
And when I open my eyes
I don’t wanna see anything
I’m gonna count to ten
Baby’s got rockets on again
Just like the movies
Baby’s got rockets on again
And I’m losing sleep
All shook up at the railroad tracks
I can’t see nothing and I don’t look back
And the wake it seems to sever all the ties
And everything you say’s an incision
That’s okay ’cause I got this vision
Of your Presley mouth
And eyes shooting thirty-eight’s
Well I’m gonna count to ten
And when I open my eyes
I don’t wanna see anything
I’m gonna count to ten
Baby’s got rockets on again
Just like the movies
Baby’s got rockets on again
And I’m losing sleep
Well I’m gonna count to ten
And when I open my eyes
I don’t wanna see anything
I’m gonna count to ten
Baby’s got rockets on again
Just like the movies
Baby’s got rockets on again
And I’m losing
Baby’s got rockets on again
Just like the movies
Baby’s got rockets on again
And I’m losing sleep
