Words & Music by Marc Bolan
Recorded by T.Rex, 1977
Teen riot structure.
Ankle deep in fear.
Babies lost in bellies
And the oracle can't hear.
A demon angel demi-god,
Blasted through the night.
Me and Lucy Lightning,
Holding on real tight.
An ancient Lord in wonder,
Rung upon my bell.
I fed him with my nightmares
And he ate my dreams as well.
All London was in blazes.
Burning to the sound.
Of deep galactic tragedies,
In stereophonic sound.
A tempest teen of stature,
In Gatsby hat and cloak.
Licked upon my lollipop,
But I didn't get the joke.
As devastation mounted,
My wardrobes almost burned.
The teens held hands on shifting sands.
I wonder what they learned.
Teen riot structure.
Ankle deep in fear.
Babies lost in bellies
And the oracle can't hear.
Oh no,
An ancient Lord in wonder,
Rung upon my bell.
I fed him with my nightmares
And he ate my dreams as well.
All London was in blazes.
Burning to the sound.
Of deep galactic tragedies,
In stereophonic sound.
A tempest teen of stature,
In Gatsby hat and cloak.
Licked upon my lollipop,
But I didn't get the joke.
As devastation mounted,
My wardrobes almost burned.
The teens held hands on shifting sands.
I wonder what they learned.
Structure,
A Teen riot structure.
A Teen riot structure.
A Teen riot structure.
It's a teen riot.
A Teen riot structure.
A Teen riot structure.
A Teen riot structure.
It's a teen riot.
[Repeat till fade.]
