I hear you talking when I'm on the street,
Your mouth don't move but I can hear you speak.
What's the matter with the boy?
He don't come around no more,
Is he checking out for sure?
Is he gonna close the door on me?
I'm always hearing voices on the street,
I want to shout, but I can't hardly speak.
I was making love last night
To a dancer friend of mine.
I can't seem to stay in step,
'Cause she come ev'ry time that she pirouettes over me.
And I only get my rocks off while I'm dreaming,
I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping.
I'm zipping through the days at lightning speed.
Plug in, flush out and fire the fuckin' feed.
Heading for the overload,
Splattered on the dirty road,
Kick me like you've kicked before,
I can't even feel the pain no more.
But I only get my rocks off while I'm dreaming,
I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping.
Feel so hypnotized, can't describe the scene.
Feel so mesmerized all that inside me.
The sunshine bores the daylights out of me.
Chasing shadows moonlight mystery.
Headed for the overload,
Splattered on the dirty road,
Kick me like you've kicked before,
I can't even feel the pain no more.
But I only get my rocks off while I'm dreaming,
I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping.
Your mouth don't move but I can hear you speak.

Charlie would beat Ringo in a drum off let's put it to a vote!
love these lyrics!
Side One.
Epic.

GREAT TUNE!! "Rip Tihs Joint" is my favorite tune from this album! Thanx RP! 
Detroit 1969 or 1970. Stones at Cobo Hall. 20,000 kids including myself. "Let It Bleed" still new. Mick singing "Midnight Rambler". When he gets to "Did you hear about the Boston Strangler?" he's on his knees at the front of the stage. Single spotlight on him, the rest of the stage dark. As he sings "strangler" he slams what I think is a wide belt of some kind on the floor. Keith, Mick Taylor and Charlie play an accompanying beat that sounds like a deep animal roar. Amazing stuff.
Can it be 50 years?
Nicky Hopkins!

I was there. It was the only time I have seen the Stones and they were, for me, disappointing. They played for about 45 minutes at very high volume, rushing through their set, then it was over. On the other hand, Stevie Wonder was a revelation. I had never really paid any attention to his music and felt that his performance was much superior to the Stones. This show probably misled me about the Stones, because later evidence tells me that their shows could be great. Just not the one I attended. Tickets were $6 I believe.
I was there too. I remember the Stones as being GREAT! Stevie was GODLIKE!

Probably the best album opener in Stones history, even though Start Me Up & Gimme' Shelter are more famous cuts.
Great opening song to an incredible album. Kinda sets the table for the rest of the greatness to come!
Stop me if I've told this one before. I'm not a big Stones fan, but this album holds a special place in my memories.
When I was a teenager, a friend of my parents hired me to babysit her grandson to run some energy off of him every day for a few weeks while he was staying with her. We'd ride our bikes to the park and watch the same puppet show then ride back.
Cool grandma lent me her copy of Exile and I really think it is peak Stones. They injected themselves into my space/time and that is a lot of what music is about.

I'd say the 4 essential Stones albums are:
1) Let it Bleed
2) Exile on Main St.
3) Sticky Fingers
4) Beggars Banquet
Better add Some Girls to that list.
1, 2 & 3
It comes down to the basic two elements of every good RnR song: energy and freedom .

HEAR HEAR! Great post dude
Saw the Stones last night here in Seattle at Century Link Field.
It was phenomenal, and I have been to their shows since 1978.
Great crowd - young, old and everything in between
The sound was fantastic, and the life-like resolution on those Big screens is phenomenal.
Jagger is without peer. Didn't run 12 miles as he has on average per show the last 20 years - was more deliberate, still very active, just not at such a frenetic pace.
You'd think it was Wood's Band, as well as he performs. And very atune to the crowd - smiling and gesturing -and played great, on all of his guitars
Keith was stoic, and rock solid with his signature riffs. No smokey, no drinkey, very little animation - just blood & guts Rock and Roll - The sound he had from his Gibson single pick-up Les Pauls was unbelievable, just absolutely blew the place up - He played them on Sympathy and Midnight Rambler.
I don't know how Charlie does what he does for over two hours. Love that guy. He walked out onto the stage when Mick got to him in the 'introductions', and a packed stadium went nuts for a good minute, and he is so humble about it, almost embarrassed, which made everyone show their appreciation for him even more.
These guys, this Band, have been the Musical Major for me in life, since 1974, and it was a pleasure to see them last night, performing as great as they did.
I daresay that had the authors of most of the negative bullshit in the comments here, been there, that they would have a more favorable impression of The Rolling Stones today.
Long live the Greatest Band in the History of Rock Music.
The standard by which all others will be judged.

Nope. They always knew what they had right when they had it. The Stones have been straight-ahead, don't-look-back, since day one.

Makes me wonder. Did the Stones ever think twice about this song or any song whether or not to put on a record?

FIFTY years. Past their prime? No doubt. Consummate entertainers? Also no doubt. Money grubbers? Sure, they are not alone there. Fifity years is what sets them apart, along with being very, very talented and working well as a band.
I hope there is a 2012 tour or some suitable band activity that celebrates their endurance.

I second the comment below - Crossfire Hurricane is an excellent documentary - must see for any Stones fan.

What a fantastic piece of music! People who don't like the Stones won't get it, but this is what rock n roll is about! From the opening chords you know this song kicks ass! Great lyrics, fantastic bass and drums driving the song to that great ending with the horn section playing an infectious refrain, and Mick Taylor's truncated solo at the very end of the song! Why didn't they add more of it? One of my favorite songs ever!
Epic rock and roll. They could crank it out when music had some depth.
The boys from Dartford done good.

I've forever been mesmerized by the photo on the inner sleeve of "Exile" where Mick & Keef are singing vocal overdubs while sharing a bottle of Jack Daniels. It hit me hard that rock stars ARE WAY DIFFERENT than you and me (at least on the job).

First heard this in a cafe in Marrakesh. Still feels exciting and dangerous!
Oh, geez - I haven't heard this in SO long - dancing... (glad I don't have a webcam - it'd be pretty ugly viewing...) Thanks to whoever uploaded this track, and to those who voted for it. It's a little bit of quicksilver in a river of mud. Don't ask - I couldn't explain, even if I knew what it meant... 
The bonus tracks included with the remastered Exile that was released a couple of months back are great. Well worth the price.
I love it—and Jagger even sings underwater! Gets a 9 from me—
I usually like the Stones, but not this one.

I always considered this to be their best album. To me, Beggars Banquet, Sticky Fingers and Let iIt Bleed were close seconds followed by Some Girls.

Was it just me or did that song shift into the right channel in the last minute of the song? All of a sudden it felt like the whole world was listing to one side. I don't think its my speakers, the next song (Kings of Leon - Knocked Up) is fine.

Cool. The vocal fadeout from The Magic Numbers song segued right into the opening guitar riff of this. Maybe Jung was right
