A Little Bit of Heaven, a Little Bit of Rock and Roll

A LITTLE BIT OF HEAVEN, A LITTLE BIT OF ROCK AND ROLL

You say power is control
I say control is freedom
That's why I play rock and roll
Cuz they follow where I lead
‘em
You've been bought and oversold
Since you were just 12 years old
Your old man was a mean old soul
You learn how to play the role

You understand it's all illusion
It's only what you say
You bring peace to the confusion
You're A million miles away
And though we may be cruising

When the band starts up to play
Every night up here on stage
Is like another year off your age

If it's 7 come 11, then you'd better roll the dice
There's lots of Signs and Symbols on the Road to Paradise
And when it's time for leaving, come on, baby, don’t think twice
It's all right I'm telling you, like Fire’s all right with Ice

CHORUS:
I just want a little bit of Heaven
And a little bit of Rock ‘n Roll
I won't stop believing
Till I'm deep down in a hole
If looks can be deceiving
Then I was stuck out in the cold
I just want A Little Bit Of Heaven
And A Little Bit Of Rock ‘n Roll

You were tryin’ out for Backup Singer
With the Boys from In Between
You were caught Outside the Inside
By the time you were 17
You were lookin’ for a little bit of Heaven
I think you know what I mean
Gonna shake you up, gonna wake you up
From this Nightmare of a Dream

You came walkin’ down the stairway
And everybody looked your way
You were absolutely Heavenly
Like a Princess from another day
The Boys, they came on over to me
Baby, what more can I say?
You were right here next to me
When the Band started to Play

INSTRUMENTAL SOLO

You came on with the voice of a nightingale
And then you threw it all away
Like you were throwing Roses right over the rail
On the Mississippi Waterway
A bit of Janis Joplin in an Alabama jail
Till the Night just got away
You took us all by Thunderstorm
Then you slowly turned away

Where the River goes over the Waterfall
When your back is up against the Wall
When you're heading for a Fall
When you don't know anyone at all
I'll be there to stand beside you
God knows I will not deny you
I just want to live inside you
Let's Fall In Love as soon as try to

I just want a little bit of Heaven
And a little bit of Rock ‘n Roll
We're goin’ down the Rabbit hole
Like Alice when she's 10 feet tall
Babe, you set my heart on fire
You live inside my Soul
I just want a little bit of Heaven
And a little bit of Rock ‘n Roll
