  • Lyrics:
    I have tried and tried everything I know how
    I have died and died because of that final result I could allow?
    I have cried and cried easy days and sleepless nights too
    But there's nothing I can do, but wait for you
    There are other girls I'm sure, but not for me to go for
    The other girls are around, but I never tried to score
    I'd be alone all the time being completely true
    I who would wait forever wait for you
    How must it take so long?
    I can only try these unsure times to be strong
    Untill I can know something further of you to I belong
    I can only wait and hope for not wrong?
    I can't plant any more plants/plans
    I can't fly any more fires for your pain
    I can't lay any more traps
    My adult traps have already been made with all days
    I could kiss you, hug you
    So many things I could do with you
    But there's nothing I can do, but wait for you

    My wife and I had the good fortune to see Roky perform at the Casbah (San Diego) a couple years ago, probably only a year before his passing. I'd been a fan for some time but it was the first and only chance I had to see him. Small club, intimate setting, only maybe 100 people were there. Great first and only experience to see one of the underground's great treasures. Thank you Roky.

    Roky was Punk Rock before Punk Rock really existed.
    And he pioneered Acid Rock.
    This man gets none of the love he deserves.

    One (or two) of my favorite solos ever. One of the greatest live tracks ever.

    Esta canción es bellisima; la letra es preciosa, la voz de Roky tan genuina y única, acompañada de esa guitarra desesperada, decadente y conmovedora, me encanta! Descansa en paz king of the vampires

    cant get it out of my head anymore. should have been a classic. without all the sorrow roky would have never had this beautiful, desperate voice. he would have deserved fame and fortune, but his legend will always be alive.

      +MrSchmolko Absolutely. He could take a set of standard chord-sequences and add his voice and suddenly it's magic.
