    Verse 1
    Paralyzed 
    by 
    hatred 
    and a piss 

    ugly 
    soul 

    If he murdered 
    his 
    father, 

    he thought 
    he'd become 
    whole 

    While 
    listening 
    at night 

    to an old 
    radio 

    Interlude 1
    Where they 
    danced 
    to the 
    rock 
    minuet 


    Verse 2
    In 
    the gay bars 
    in the back 

    of the bar 

    He consummated 
    hatred 
    on a 
    cold 

    sawdust 
    floor 

    While the jukebox 
    played 

    backbeats, he sniffed 
    coke 
    off 
    a jar 

    Verse 3
    While 
    they danced 
    to a 
    rock 
    minuet 


    School 
    was 
    a waste, 

    he was meant 
    for the street 

    But 
    school 
    was the 
    only way, 

    the 
    army could 
    be beat 

    The 
    two whores 
    sucked 
    his nipples 
    'til 

    he came 
    on their 
    feet 

    As they danced 
    to the 

    rock minuet 

    Verse 4

    He dreamt that 
    his father was 

    sunk to 
    his knees 

    His leather 
    belt tied 
    so tight 

    that it 
    was hard 
    to breathe 

    And 
    the studs 
    from his 
    jacket 
    were as 

    cold 
    as 
    a breeze 

    Verse 5
    As he danced 
    to 
    a rock 
    minuet 

    He pictured 
    the bedroom 

    where he 
    heard 
    the 
    first 
    cry 

    His 
    mother 
    on all 
    fours, 
    ah, 

    with his 
    father behind 

    And 
    her yell 
    hurt so 
    much, 

    he had wished 
    he'd gone 
    blind 

    Interlude 2
    And rocked 
    to a rock 
    minuet 





    Verse 6
    In the back of 
    the warehouse 
    were a 
    couple of guys 


    They 
    had tied someone 
    up 

    and sewn 
    up their 
    eyes 

    And 
    he got so 
    excited 

    he came 
    on his 
    thighs 

    When 
    they danced 
    to the rock 

    minuet 

    Verse 7

    On avenue 
    be, someone 
    cruised 

    him one 
    night 

    He took him 
    in an 
    alley and 

    then pulled 
    a knife 

    And thought 
    of his 
    father, 

    as he cut 
    his windpipe 

    Verse 8
    And finally 
    danced 
    to the rock 
    minuet 


    In the 
    curse of 
    the alley, 

    the thrill of 
    the street 

    On 
    the bitter 
    cold 
    docks 

    where the outlaws 
    all 
    meet 

    In euphoria 
    drug 
    in 
    euphoria 
    heat 

    You could 
    dance 
    to the 
    rock 
    minuet 

    Verse 9
    In the 
    thrill 
    of 
    the needle 

    and anonymous 
    sex 

    You 
    could 
    dance 
    to the 
    rock 
    minuet 

    Verse 10
    So 
    when 
    you dance 
    hard, 

    slow 
    dancing 

    When you 
    dance 
    hard, 

    slow 
    dan
    cing 

    When you 
    dance 
    hard, 

    slow 
    dancing 

    When you 
    dance 
    to 
    the 
    rock minuet

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
