Venus and Mars / Rock Show (2014 remaster) Songtext
von Wings

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 a 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


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
It's a pity there′s nobody here
To witness the end
Saved for my dear old friend
And confidant Mademoiselle kitty
Kitty, kitty, 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

If there′s rock show at the Concertgebouw
They've got long hair at the Madison Square
Rock and roll at the Hollywood Bowl
