Fighting with the night
It's a rip-off
Kissing all the slain
I'm bleeding in the rain
It's a rip-off
Such a rip-off
Rocking in the nude
I'm feeling such a dude
It's a rip-off
Dancing in the dark
With the tramps in the Park
It's a rip-off
Such a rip-off
See your baby's stud
Sliding in my mud
It's a rip-off
Bleached on the beach
I want to tickle your peach
It's a rip-off
See the girl in dance
In her man-skin pants
It's a rip-off
Terraplane Tommy
Wants to bang your gong
It's a rip-off
Such a rip-off
Gypsy girl's good
People treat her like a fool
It's a rip-off
The President's weird
He's got burgundy beard
It's a rip-off
Such a rip-off
I'm the King of the highway
I'm the Queen of the hop
You should see me
At the Governor's ball
Doing the rip-off bop
I'm a social person
I'm the creature in disguise
There's a man with a whip
On his silver lip
Living inside my eyes
I'm the cat from the alley
I'm the fleetfoot voodoo man
There's very little that's ever said
All of which I understand
Caught like skunk
In space and time
It's a rip-off
If it's hers
Well it must be mine
It's a rip-off
Such a rip-off
Dancing in the nude
Feeling such a dude
It's a rip-off
Mountings of the moon
Remind me of my spoon
It's a rip-off
Such a rip-off
Bleached on the beach
I want to tickle your peach
It's a rip-off
See the girl in dance
In her man-skin pants
It's a rip-off

Wow yeah this is sad. One comment from four years ago, I'll be surprised if anyone ever sees this but this song is great, you have to start dancing along when it comes on. The lyrics are really weird but they always are aren't they? Anyhow, AWESOME SONG, T. Rex is great. How can no one comment on this, honestly this is eluding me?

John Frusciante said he thought it would be funny to rip off a song called 'rip off'. He's a Bolan fan. That one long bridge chord's the one he used in 'Under the bridge'. Bolan for all his fame is still very underrated IMO.
