"Jolly Little Rocker"

"Jolly Little Rocker" was written back in 2007/2008, but recorded only recently. It's a song about a dealer, inspired by Velvet Underground's "Waiting for the Man". I hope you enjoy the track.

The Strange World of A.J. Kaufmann · "Jolly Little Rocker"

LYRICS

The city is bored with you, boy
The city is sleeping now
Wishing on a sugar pill
Dreaming of a satellite
So easy to find it
Don’t have to know the address
Knock two times at midnight
Kill your lonely mess

Here comes the jolly little rocker
With his jolly little pills
And he says I’m sure you wanna
Don’t you wanna make a deal
You see this jolly little rocker
He’s got everything you need
Little portion of his magic
Sure to satisfy your greed

The city is a graveyard, boy
Full of moving tombs
Leave it all behind you
Jump back to the womb
And you’ll see the city smiling
Blowing a happy horn
And you’ll see how everything’s small
Before you get born

Here comes the jolly little rocker
With his jolly little pills…

The city’s paved with stories like these
You know it’s nothing new
Find yourself an easy mountain
Get a worthwhile view
Come enjoy the spectacles
He’s got everything
He’ll make your soul a Jumbo Jet
He’ll make your body sing

Here come this jolly little rocker
With his jolly little pills
And everything the man touches
Turns to gold and/or steel
See that jolly little rocker
In this jolly little hole
Resurrecting colored spirits
From his weary sinking soul
