Rock City is the third song on the album Silent So Long by Emigrate.

Background

• The song features the singer Lemmy Kilmister.
• The song started out as an acoustic song. When Richard played it to the band, the drummer doubled the tempo and the band started working on the song.
• In a track-by-track video series, Richard commented this about the song:

Computers can have their limitations.

This song really came to life in the rehearsal room when the band started to jam. From there, all the pieces came together organically.

There's nothing like the chaos of human touch.

Lyrics

Album version

Like you I've never seen pretty lights Let's make the most - rock city night Can't be forever true But there's still some things that we can do In you I really wanna be tonight Please let me do - rock city night Take what you want from me 'Cause I'm all about the fantasy I'll wait for you downtown 'Til you come around Be my secret lover Are we alone? Never can I touch your secrets Just you and me Are we alone? God's cool, he lets me do what I like You're old enough - rock city night Might take your dignity But you'll never want it back from me Let's make a memory of a night When we are truly free There's nothing I can't be Let me solve your mystery I'll wait for you downtown 'Til you come around Be my secret lover Are we alone? Never can I touch your secrets Just you and me Are we alone? Are we alone? Let me breathe in all your secrets On dirty knees I'll bring you home In the Heimat, baby Are we alone? Never can I touch your secrets Just you and me Are we alone? (Are we alone?) Are we alone? Let me breathe in all your secrets On dirty knees I'll bring you home (Are we alone?) Are we alone? (Are we alone?) Never can I touch your secrets Just you and me Are we alone? (Are we alone?) Are we alone? (Are we alone?) Hide behind your dirty secrets Can't you see? We aren't alone Hey
