The Jesus and Mary Chain
Rocket
Written by Ben Lurie
Rise to my frustration - pouring rain
And feeling so impatient 'cause I can't explain
The things inside of me that shot right through my brain
I'm like a patient always standing in the rain
I got a golden ticket that I'm gonna ride
I'm gonna ride it like a rocket shooting in the sky
It's gonna take me out of all this black and white - it's insane
I'm going shooting on this rocket in the rain tonight
Shooting on this rocket in the rain tonight, alright
Riding like an engine on a rollercoast
Trying to slow it down, gotta get control
There's nothing left to say but I don't know
I'm always thinking but I just don't know
She sold me golden ticket that I gotta ride
It's gonna shoot me like a rocket in the cold cold sky
She wants to take me out of all this black and white
I'm going shooting on this rocket in the rain tonight
Shooting on my rocket in the rain tonight, alright
Back with my frustration - pouring rain
And feeling so impatient, nothing's changed
I got a feeling like my soul's been washed away
I'm like a patient always standing in the rain
I got a golden ticket that I'm gonna ride
I'm gonna ride it like a rocket shooting in the sky
It's gonna take me out of all this black and white - it's a game
I'm going shooting on this rocket in the rain tonight
Shooting on my rocket in the rain tonight
Shooting on my rocket through the pain tonight, alright
