Rocky Lyrics

Well all of my friends, baby
They're going insane, now
Look up at my fingers, baby
Get lost in the rain
Halfway off the g-round
Jumping oughta down
Afraid to hear the sound
Of all that's going down
Na na na na baby
Hey Hey Hey Hey
Dear Baby Jesus
Here are my shoes
They don't smell so hot
But they've never read the news
Well all of my friends, baby
They thought I'm insane, now
Look up at my fingers, darlin
Get lost in the rain
Walking through a haze
Of shattered memories
They're flying through the trees
Their roots are at my knees
Na na na na baby
Hey Hey Hey Heeeeeeeeey
Afraid to hear the sound

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Lyrically I think Gibby just jotted down a stream of semi-consciousness about the state he and the band were in after touring throughout the 80s on waaay too many drugs. The words don't go deeper than that for me, but the music is excellent, and the lyrics fit it quite well.

I think this song is about the god father of the psychedelic sound Roky Erickson of the classic 60's band 13th Floor Elevators. Friend of the Surfers
