The Last Breath of Rock & Roll

from Minus Thieves by Dickie

lyrics

THE LAST BREATH OF ROCK & ROLL

Mess with my straight hair
Wishing I could pull it out
I need that long, curled shock of a god
Now that the snow’s cleared
Scrape the car, start it up
It’s a laugh track slide to a stop
I have to get my friends
The next town’s waiting
There goes the last breath
Of rock ‘n roll
There goes the last breath
Of rock ‘n roll
Of rock ‘n roll

Can’t afford the new digs
Money’s such a stupid drag
Ditching on the bills to collect my high
Get with the Dead Beat kids
Dance until we make ourselves mad
Spinning in the lipstick shade of light
Hold on, we’re picking up speed
No sense in leaving
There goes the last breath
Of rock ‘n roll
There goes the last breath
Of rock ‘n roll
There goes the last breath
Of rock ‘n roll
Of rock ‘n roll
Looking for no way out
We’re tied to the rails
With a smile that can eat the stars
Bend to “How Soon is Now”
We rise and we fail
But everything here is ours

There goes the last breath
Of rock ‘n roll
There goes the last breath
Of rock ‘n roll
There goes the last breath
Of rock ‘n roll
Of rock ‘n roll

Dickie Iowa

Dickie’s 2015 album was a moody testimonial of singer-songwriter Dick Prall. Prall took a series of losses and nestled them inside a layered mix that found Dickie on the top of several “Best of” lists. 2019 finds Prall in a nostalgic headspace, partnering with drummer/multi-instrumentalist Billy Barton to produce a stripped-back mix of reflective & pulsating sing-alongs in the latest release. ... more
