Rocky
The White Buffalo Lyrics

They say rocky sold his soul
It is said that Rocky has traded his soul for fame

Well he dipped his balls in rock and roll
He lived his life with unbridled wildness and rebellion

He dove head first into the deep
He fully committed to living life with abandon

Live for the moment
He chose to focus solely on present pleasure without regard for future consequences

Wild and free
He lived his life with absolute freedom and without constraint

Carry on dance too close
Keep dancing with reckless abandon, living dangerously

To the fire not the phone
Choose to embrace danger rather than seeking safety and comfort

Radio silence don't call
Don't try to reach out, nobody there will answer

Cause nobody's home
There's nobody there to save you from your own excesses and mistakes

When you live life for the lust
When you place your desires above all else

Sometimes you get cuts to the bone
Sometimes you will suffer greatly from the consequences of your actions

Sometimes you get keys to the throne
Sometimes you will achieve great success and fame as a result of your reckless behavior

The neon lights are on parade
The bright and artificial lights of the city are omnipresent

Tomorrow swerves into yesterday
Time passes without apparent distinction between past, present, and future

No end in sight there's no last call
There is no foreseeable end to the excess and the party

Just pills and pipes and alcohol
Means of numbing oneself to the world and indulging in self-destructive vices

Sometimes you've got one foot in the grave
Mortality becomes a more pressing concern than simple hedonism

It reaches up and takes a hold
The force of mortality becomes inescapable

Masters quickly turn to slaves
Those who were once wild and free become ensnared by their own habits and dependency on vices

Souls are bought souls are sold
People exchange pieces of themselves for temporary pleasures or gains

Rocky creeps the streets unknown
Rocky has lost all fame and notoriety, and wanders aimlessly

No name no face just a ghost alone
He is utterly unrecognizable and forgotten, and is now isolated from society

The fix is in no longer free
He has become trapped by his vices and addictions, unable to escape them

There's no bringing rocky back to me
There is no hope of returning to a previous version of oneself, one that hadn't been consumed by excess and addiction

Now he's got two feet in the grave
He is at the point of no return, with death looming over him

He dug himself too deep a hole
He indulged too much in the vices and excesses of life, with no hope of redemption

No dragons left to slay
There are no more obstacles or challenges to overcome, only the slow and inevitable march towards death

Devil squeezed out all the hope
The grip of vice and addiction has taken hold of Rocky completely, with no hope of redemption or escape

Only one God to obey
Death is the only reality left for Rocky

Reaches down and takes a hold
Death is now an inescapable reality for Rocky, and it consumes him completely

Now he can't get away
He is completely consumed by death and there is no escape

Now he's lost all control
He is wholly consumed by vice and addiction, with no power left to fight it

Streets run black and take him whole
The darkness of his life has consumed him entirely, and only death can offer a release

Where souls are bought souls are sold
The world is one of constant exchange, with people giving up parts of themselves for temporary pleasures or gains
