Venus and Mars/Rock Show lyrics

Sitting in the stand of the sports arena

Waiting for the show to begin

Red lights, green lights, strawberry wine

A good friend of mine follows the stars

Venus and Mars are alright tonight

What's that man holding in his hand?

He looks a lot like a guy I knew way back when

It's silly Willy with a Philly band

Could be, oo-ee

Tell me, what's that man movin' cross the stage?

It looks a lot like the one used by Jimmy Page

It's like a relic from a different age

Could be, oo-ee

If there's rock show at the Concertgebouw

They got long hair at Madison Square

You got rock and roll at the Hollywood Bowl

We'll be there

Ooh yeah

The lights go down, they're back in town, okay

Behind the stacks you glimpse an axe

The tension mounts, you score an ounce, olé!

Temperatures rise as you see the whites of their eyes

If there's rock show at the Concertgebouw

You've got long hair at the Madison Square

They got rock and roll at the Hollywood Bowl

We'll be there

Ooh yeah

In my green metal suit I'm preparing to shoot up the city

And the ring at the end of my nose makes me look rather pretty

Its a pity there's nobody here to witness the end

Save for my dear old friend and confidante, Mademoiselle Kitty...

What's that man movin' to and fro?

That decibel meter doesn't seem to be reading low

But they was louder at the Rainbow

Could be, oo-ee

If there's rock show at the Concertgebouw

They've got long hair at the Madison Square

You've got rock and roll at the Hollywood Bowl

We'll be there

Ooh yeah...
