wasted youth - meat loaf & jim steinman lyrics

i remember everything!

i remember every little thing as if it happened only yesterday
i was barely seventeen and i once k!lled a boy with a fender guitar
i don’t remember if it was a telecaster or a stratocaster
but i do remember that it had a heart of chrome and a voice like a h-rny angel!
i don’t remember if it was a telecaster or a stratocaster
but i do remember that it wasn’t at all easy
it required the perfect combination of the right power chords
and the precise angle from which to strike
the guitar bled for a week afterward and the blood was – ooh –
dark and rich like wild berries
the blood of the guitar was chuck berry red
the guitar bled for about a week afterward
but it rung out beautifully
and i was able to play notes that i had never even heard before

so, i took my guitar and i smashed it against the wall
i smashed it against the floor
i smashed it against the body of a varsity cheerleader
i smashed it against the hood of a car
i smashed it against a 1981 harley davidson
the harley howled in pain
the guitar howled in heat –

and i ran up the stairs to my parents’ bedroom
mommy and daddy were sleeping in the moonlight
slowly i opened the door, creeping in the shadows
right up to the foot of their bed
i raised the guitar high above my head
and just as i was about to bring the guitar crashing down upon the center of the bed
my father woke up screaming:
“stop! wait a minute! stop it boy! what do you think you’re doing?
“that’s no way to treat an expensive musical instrument!”
and i said “god dammit daddy!
“you know i love you
“but you’ve got a h-ll of a lot to learn about rock and roll!”
