Lyrics

    Some men need some killer weed, some men need cocaine
    Some men need some cactus juice, to purify the brain
    Some men need two women, some need alcohol
    Everybody needs a little something, but Lord I need it all
    
    To get my rocks off, get my rocks off
    Get my rocks off the mountain, and roll 'em on down
    
    I may do you one time, and I may do you more
    I may turn you into something, that you ain't ready for
    I might want your body, and I might want your bread
    I might want your momma to come visit me instead
    
    And get my rocks off, get my rocks off
    Get my rocks off the mountain, and roll 'em on down
    
    Sometimes I dream of chicks, to bring me ever lasting joys
    Sometimes I dream of animals, sometimes I dream of boys
    Sometimes I kill the living, sometimes I raise the dead
    Sometimes I say just fuck it all, and crawl back into bed
    
    And get my rocks off, get my rocks off
    Get my rocks off the mountain, and roll 'em on down
