Tesla - Rock Bottom

Copied!

Seventeen, a nature's queen
You'll know what I mean
Twenty-one, a long one
You can see the numbers run
Now you look so peaceful
Lyin' there asleep
With the wings of God above you
Before the spirits meet

Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom

Shadow earth is closin' in
Above the lamps in your street
Lucifer goes walkin'
Down for you to meet
Minutes pass so slowly by
The hands on your clock
Heaven's door don't open
When you knock

Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom

With the darkness closin' in
Will the light reveal your soul?
One sweet kiss
On your clay cold lips
Long, long sleep you'll never know
Where do we go, where do we go
Where do we go from here?

Seventeen, a nature's queen
You'll know what I mean
Twenty-one, a long one
You can see the numbers run
Now you look so peaceful
Lyin' there asleep
With the wings of God above you
Before the spirits meet

Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom

Biography

edit bio

Tesla is an American heavy metal band with a long and tumultuous history. The band was originally formed in Sacramento, California in late 1981 by bassist Brian Wheat and guitarist Frank Hannon under the name City Kidd. Lead vocalist Jeff Keith, drummer Troy Luccketta, and guitarist Tommy Skeoch joined the band by 1984, completing the lineup that would become known as Tesla.

By 1986, Tesla had shifted from their glam-derived sound to a more 'rootsier' direction and decided to change their name to Tesla. The band quickly gained popularity and by 1990, they were on the rise with hits like "Love Song" and "Signs". However, the band began to show signs of wear and tear, leading to the departure of drummer Troy Luccketta and the introduction of Stefano Pasta as his replacement. Unfortunately, Pasta's time with the band was short-lived as he departed due to personal reasons.

In 1996, Tesla made the difficult decision to disband, with each member pursuing their own solo projects. However, in 2000, they decided to reunite and continue making music together. The reunion was not without its challenges, as guitarist Tommy Skeoch struggled with substance abuse issues and ultimately departed the band in 2006. He was replaced by Dave Rude, who brought new energy and talent to the group.

Despite the ups and downs, Tesla has remained a force in the heavy metal scene, selling over 14 million albums in the United States alone. Their dedication to their music and their fans has solidified their place as one of the most iconic bands in the genre. Tesla's journey is a testament to the power of perseverance and passion in the face of adversity.
