T. Rex - Rapids lyrics

Your mama said, "clean out your head, boy. Don't lay nothing on my child." Your friends they said, "Your head's in a noose, boy. Lay some boogie on our minds" And we stood like the rapids and I was like a newborn child. Your father said, "clean out your head, boy. Go kick cans along the street." Your father said "clean out your toes, rose, and go and lick some uncooked meat"

And we stood like the rapids and I was like a newborn child. And we stood like the rapids and I was like a newborn child. Your mama said, "my baby's not free, son, but I'm loose about midnight." Your father said, "Your sister's a groove, boy. What I said it just ain't right." But then I stood like the rapids and I was like a newborn child. Lord, it drive me wild!
