His singular vision for rock

Did you ever feel any kind of kingship with any of that?
You have not really been part of a rock and roll community
You don't hang out with musicians
Hmm. Do you?

No. I've never been part of anything
I had this one idea and vision
That I've stuck to no matter what because
I really was fascinated by the implications
Of having and the possibilities of it

Sylvia went and bought me, eh, this singer doing some
Break Wild songs, not from the Three Penny Opera, just some other thing
That I'd never heard before and the things they were writing about
You could close your eyes and it was me
Except not done the rock and roll

I mean, it was just, you know, what, the seven deadly sins
I mean, I could do that tomorrow in a rock and roll song, perfect
I thought to myself, how come you, Lou, didn't think of that?
I said, that's a pretty good one, you know, a song for every sin
I said, oh, these are people after my own heart

I mean, there's a world of material out there
It's just putting it into the rock and roll format without becoming a drag
Saying, like keeping the power and the hit of rock and roll
And yet, you know, coming at somebody with a little taste of the surreal
It's like if you're describing something to somebody, you say

There are three doors I'm going in, the one on the left of the middle
Well, if you do that badly, you can stop them right there
Assuming they even heard it
You know what I mean? But upon the other hand
If you start getting involved in it and

These doors are leading to rooms in a hotel where this is happening
This is happening, that can be fun for some people
I'm not talking about a double cross stick
You know what I'm saying?
You know, it could just be interesting

Something you could follow with your head and
Tap your foot and keep track of it over here
You know, it's like Brecht and Weill
Or Raymond Chandler
