Lyrics and translation

Original

I wanna sweat next to you

Sweat next to you

With a sticky carpet sucking on my shoes

'Cause rock 'n' roll ain't never gonna lose

Nah-ah

I want you to dance into me

Spill my drink

I wanna feel the kick kickin' in my teeth

My bleeding heart bleeding to the beat

Huh

Look out

I want you to blow smoke in my eyes

Smoke in my eyes

I wanna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake until my shoes untie

'Cause rock 'n' roll ain't ever gonna die

Not as long as you and I are alive

'Cause rock 'n' roll is dead, but the dead don't die

The dead don't die, the dead don't die

The dead don't die, the dead don't die

Whoo!

The dead don't die, the dead don't die

The dead don't die, the dead don't die

Raooh!

Look out

I wanna feel everything

I wanna feel everything

I wanna listen to the idiot sing

Until I can't feel anything

'Cause rock 'n' roll is dead, but the dead don't die

The dead don't die, the dead don't die

The dead don't die, the dead don't die

Whoo!

The dead don't die, the dead don't die

The dead don't die, the dead don't die

Raow!

Look out

The dead don't die, the dead don't die

The dead don't die, the dead don't die

The dead don't die, the dead don't die

The dead don't die, the dead don't die

The dead don't die, the dead don't die

The dead don't die, the dead don't die

The dead don't die, the dead don't die

The dead don't die, the dead don't die
