David Lee Roth (born October 10 1954 in Bloomington, Indiana) is an American rock vocalist, songwriter, rock climber, adventurer, actor, author, and former radio personality, perhaps best known for his work with the band Van Halen and his fast-talking, oversized personality. He left Van Halen at the pinnacle of his tenure with them in 1985 (being replaced by Montrose's Sammy Hagar) and formed a solo band. After some time spent performing lounge jazz to small audiences, Roth recruited a wondergroup of Steve Vai (guitar), Billy Sheehan (bass) and Greg Bisonette (drums), and released the wildly successful 'Eat 'em and Smile' album in 1986. For a while, Roth's success equaled that of his own band; but while Van Halen became huge with Hagar behind the mic, DLR's star faded over time. After the impressive dream-team line-up of the David Lee Roth band imploded due to ego, guitar prodigy Jason Becker (formerly of Cacophony) was bought into the fold in 1989.

Knucklebones Lyrics

David Lee Roth

When the fire burns
'Neath a zombie moon
Ya feel the winds of chang
Oh the drums will tell the tune
And you know it's true
Can ya feel the geat
Of the setting sun
Burning up the streets
This beat has got mixed blood
And I know it too
But now her mama's got hte eyes
Like she's workin' on a heart attack
A fella never can tell
And I'm about to go bananas
With the "when ya comin' bcack?"
So we're hittin' the road
And we're pumpin' thunder
Mama look out for down below
Get the show on the road
I's the feeling we're under
You can feel it right down
to
Yout
Knucklebones
One of these dark nights
Asthe saying goes
There's some dirty work
To be done down by the crossroads
Ans I know it's true
Ain't no use waitin'
For your invitation
King Kong never had it so clean
We'll do the Fat Cat Shake
We'll have our cake and eat it too
You coukd never, no, no, no, never, beat this squeeze!
Because we're hittin0 the road
And we're punpi' thunder
Mama look out for down below
Get the show on the road
It's rally no wonder
You can feel it right down
To
Your
Knucklebones
Must be the heat
Stop dreamin' and start drivin', Stevie
(Repeat chorus
