William J. Hall, Lyrics 1979, WKGB and Me

WKGB and Me William J. Hall - August, 1979
	1	Everybody tries to tell us how to behave...
	2	Can't they see we're riding on the tidal wave?
	3	Temperature's rising, think we're blowing a fuse.
	4	Isn't surprising, now, we're front page news.
	5	You can believe me when I tell you it's so:
	6	Going to take my baby uptown
	7	And after dark
	8	We're going to pogo;
	9	Pogo, pogo
	10	Going to take a ride inside the general pulse of the city...
	11	Everybody crowding in the back door just to see
	12	WKGB -
	13	WKGB -
	14	WKGB -
	15	WKGB and me.
	16	Some of my old friends say they think it's a shame...
	17	Some of them say they think a woman's to blame.
	18	I've got to admit it's kind of hard to explain.
	19	Maybe I've changed, but the essentials remain.
	20	Still all of this time I tried to tell them it was so
	21	I'm just a rock and roller now
	22	I'm going up town,
	23	We're going to pogo;
	24	Pogo, pogo
	25	Going to take a ride inside the general pulse of the city...
	26	Everybody crowding in the back door just to see
	27	WKGB -
	28	WKGB -
	29	WKGB -
	30	WKGB and me.
	31	With that pearl and diamond smile
	32	Look that we gave to you
	33	We're going to see what kind of night-child
	34	We have made of you,
	35	Made of you.
	36	For all of these years I've just been borrowing time;
	37	Playing in the basement for some close friends of mine,
	38	Watching my photographs and looking at the walls,
	39	Staring at the telephone 'till somebody calls,
	40	And all of these changes leave me with nowhere else to go:
	41	Going to take my music uptown
	42	And until dawn
	43	We're going to pogo
	44	Pogo, pogo
	45	Going to take a ride inside the general pulse of the city...
	46	Everybody crowding in the back door just to see
	47	WKGB -
	48	WKGB -
	49	WKGB -
	50	WKGB and me.
	51	With that pearl and diamond smile
	52	Look that we gave to you
	53	We're going to see what kind of night-child
	54	We have made of you,
	55	Made of you.
	56	I said it before; I'm going to say it again...
	57	We're riding the wave and there's no need to pretend.
	58	Temperature's rising, think we're blowing a fuse.
	59	Isn't surprising, now we're front page news.
	60	And you can believe me when I tell you it's so:
	61	Going to take my baby after dark
	62	And until dawn,
	63	We're going to pogo;
	64	Pogo, pogo
	65	Going to take a ride inside the general pulse of the city...
	66	Everybody crowding in the back door just to see
	67	WKGB -
	68	WKGB -
	69	WKGB -
	70	WKGB and me.
