Lyrics
Say hello to the city life,
Say hello to the vibrant city life, embracing its energy.
Say hello to your dreams.
Embrace and welcome your aspirations and dreams.
Say hello to the candy man,
Greet the figure representing indulgence or temptation.
Say hello to your rock 'n roll queens.
Acknowledge and welcome the iconic figures of rock 'n roll.
The painted ladies of the evening,
Referencing women who are adorned in the night, ready to fulfill desires.
Will show you what you wanna see.
These women are willing to reveal what you desire.
For a dime or a dollar,
Indicating a transactional nature, where experiences can be bought.
Well, you can ride in a limousine.
For a price, one can enjoy the luxuries of a limousine ride.
Rock City, Rock City,
Repetition of "Rock City" emphasizes the theme of the song.
See what you wanna see.
Encouragement to explore and witness what one desires.
Rock City, Rock City,
Reiteration of the freedom to shape one's identity.
Be what you wanna be.
Expressing the freedom to become the person you aspire to be.
Rock City, Rock City,
Encouraging the exploration of desires and possibilities.
See what you wanna see.
Reaffirmation of the freedom to choose one's experiences.
Rock City, Rock City,
Repeated emphasis on the freedom to witness and choose.
Be what you wanna be.

Yeah!
A spirited exclamation, possibly signifying excitement or enthusiasm.
Well all the fancy cars, and all the funky bars.
Mention of luxurious cars and lively bars in the city.
Feel the fire burnin' under your feet.
Suggesting the intense passion and excitement beneath your feet.
When the smoke clears honey, you ain't got no money.
After the excitement, the reality of financial challenges emerges.
Then you'll start to feel the heat.
Anticipating the pressure and challenges when resources are scarce.
Rock City, Rock City,
Reiteration of the freedom to explore and see what one desires.
See what you wanna see.
