Get ready for the lady
She's gonna be a treat
Simmer slightly 'til ready
Make her soft too
Make her sweet
I kiss the tears off from your chest
I felt the poison fright that's in your breath
I knew your precious life and I know your death
I squeeze the love out of your soul
All the perfect love that's in your soul
You're just another spirit on parole
Devil's food
Devil's food
Devil's food
Nights coast to coast
Work hard as a ghost
When you live in a countdown
Time is free as a jailbird
At least that's what I've hearda
When you live in a...
Love comes cheap at a swap meet
It all comes so dirt cheap
When you live in a bedroom
Love that's deep as a lever
But that ain't a measure
When you live in a castle
Mind gets scrambled like eggs
Gets bruised and erased
When you live in a brainstorm
Noise seems logically right
Ringing in the night
Hard hearted Alice
Is what we wanna be
Hard hearted Alice
Is waht you want to see
Here I go again, up and down alone
All my friends went home years ago
All my toys are broken and
So am I inside Mom
The carnival has closed years ago
I'm a little boy
No, I'm a great big man.
No, let's be a little boy.
For a little while longer,
Maybe an hour ?
No, Steven, we have to go back now
Isn't that our Mom calling ?
I wake up in the basement,
I'm so hungry, I'm dry,
I must be here sleepwalking,
Mustn't I ?
Getting up from my easy chair
Looking for my wife
Following a trial of crimson
Spots that lead into the night.
Suddenly I realize,
I see it all through real eyes -
These crimson spots
Are dripping from my hand
Some folks love to see red.
Some folks never talk about it.
Some folks crave a blue lady.
Some folks know and still they doubt it
I'm just no good without it.
I'm not a man at all,
It makes my skin crawl.
Baby, baby,
Come on and save me, save me.
My, my baby, baby,
Come on and save me now.
Some folks love to feel pain.
Some folks wake up every morning.
Some folks live for no reason.
Some folks die without a warning.
(Repeat 2nd verse)
I just can't live without it,
Just can't live without it,
I don't want to think about it,
Paint on my cruel or happy face.
Hide me behind it.
It takes me inside another place
Where no one can find it.
Escape, I get out when I can.
Escape, anytime I can,
Escape, I'm crying in my beer,
Escape, just get me out of here
Don't get me wrong, don't get me right
I'm not like you are.
When I get home from work at night,
I'm blacker and bluer.
So I escape.
(Repeat 2nd verse)
Where am I running to ?
There's no place to go.
Just put on my make-up
And get me to the show. Yeah.
Escape.
My doctor said just come around,
You'll be taken care of,
And while he ran my problems down,
I stole his mascara,
That's how I escape.
(Repeat 2nd verse)
Welcome to the party
It's only me and you
Tell the world to go away, babe
And I'll tell you what to do
Come over here and kiss me
I want to pull your hair
Turn out the lights and hold me
I want to touch you everywhere
We don't need nobody, baby
We don't need champagne
I'll take you to the deepest, darkest, hottest lovers'lane
For a little spark in the dark
Just a little spark in the dark
Don't matter where we sleep
Don't matter where we park
All we need is spark, spark
Spark in the dark
Just a little spark in the dark
Come around midnight
We'll be crawlin'on the floor
Burnin'with the fever
And yellin'out for more
But don't you write it in your diary, baby
Don't blab it on the phone
Cuz if your mom and dad find out
They'll skin me to the bone
Now we don't need instructions, baby
Don't you be afraid
It takes a little friction
That's how our love is made
From a little spark in the dark
Just a little spark in the dark
Don't matter what you say
No matter what you do
As long as it is me and you
We got a spark in the dark
Just a little spark in the dark, yeah
We don't need nobody, baby
We don't need cocaine
I'll take you to the deepest, darkest, hottest lovers'lane
Spark in the dark
Just a little spark in the dark
Don't matter where we sleep,
Don't matter where we park
Anybody's dream can fall apart
Anybody's mask can break
Couldn't tell you how I wanted you
Enough to make you want to stay
I never said the words out loud
I guess I couldn't get'em straight
Baby, give me one more chance
Before you walk away
It's only, only, only my heart talkin'
Yeah, it's only, only, only my heart talkin'
Saying things I never thought I'd say
Can't you hear me knocking
Tried to fool you but it wouldn't play
Cuz my heart it's talkin', it's talkin'
Baby, it's talkin'
Talkin'to you
Every time I take it to the edge
Every time I'm so afraid
Don't you know I cry my eyes out, babe
Every time you look away
Oh, I almost dropped a tear
But I caught it just in time
I'd say the things you want to hear
If you'd help me, help me, help me try
It's only, only, only my heart talkin'
Yeah, it's only, only, only my heart talkin'
Saying things I never thought I'd say
Can't you hear me knockin'
Tried to fool you but it wouldn't play
Cuz my heart it's talkin', it's talkin'
Baby, it's talkin'
Talkin'to you
Well, I don't want to hide away
Hide away without you, baby
Don't you go and run away
Come on and help me, baby
Just a little help, baby
I ain't got no fun today
It's just like yesterday, oh yeah
Only different shades of grey
I'm bored right out of my skull
I'd have to get high just to be dull
I'm institutional
My TV screen spins around and around
And around and around
I need a sideshow
Some kinda creepshow
They ran the circus out of town
But the ring master said:
"Boy, you can stick around"
I pay to see all the freaks
Some finger licking chicken-eating geek
Hey, that sounds cool to me
I just want to step inside
I want a scary ride, oh yeah
See Jeckyll turn to Hyde
I fell my head spinning round and around
and around and around
I need a sideshow, oh yeah
Some kinda creepshow, oh yeah
I just want someplace to go, oh yeah
I tried to be the circus clown
But even my monkey wouldn't hang around
And the hunchback midget and his twisted friends
Offer me a world of thrills that never end
I need a sideshow
Some kind of freaky show
Down where the neon glows
Just like a psychedelic video
Or a 24 hour party, go go go
Not a gozio, no
I need a sideshow
Yeah, we're gonna fight
We do it every night
Baby, when you scratch
You know I'm gonna bite
You can make me die
I can make you cry
Opposites attract
That's the reason why
No one else could make you feel
Like I do, I do, I do
No one else gets that deep inside you
As I do, baby
Our love is a bed of nails
Love hurts good on a bed of nails
I'll lay you down and when all else fails
I'll drive you like hammer on the bed of nails
First we're gonna kiss
Then we're gonna say
Dirty little words
Only lovers say
Rockin'thru the night
Rollin'on the floor
When they hear us screamin'
They'll be breakin'down the door
No one else could make you feel
Like I do, I do, I do
No one else gets that deep inside you
As I do, baby
Our love is a bed of nails
Love hurts good on a bed of nails
I'll lay you down and when all else fails
I'll drive you like hammer on the bed of nails
Bed of nails, Bed of nails
I'll drive you like hammer on the bed of nails
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow
Gonna drive you like hammer
Baby, put me in your slammer, oh yeah
No one else could make you feel
Like I do, I do, I do
No one else gets that deep inside you
As I do, baby
Our love is a bed of nails
Love hurts good on a bed of nails
I'll lay you down and when all else fails
I'll drive you like hammer on the bed of nails
Bed of nails, get on my bed of nails
I'll drive you like hammer on the bed of nails
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow
Gonna drive you like hammer
Baby, put me in your slammer, oh yeah
I can't get a girl
cuz I ain't got a car
I can't get a car
cuz I ain't got a job
I can't get a job
cuz I ain't got a car
So I'm looking for a girl with a job and a car
Don't you know where you are
Lost in America
I got a mom but I ain't got a dad
My dad's got a wife but she ain't my mom
Mom's looking for a man to be my dad
But I want my mom and to be my real
mom and dad
Is that so bad
Oh, I think I've been had
Lost in America
Well, I live at the 7-11
Well, I'm tryin' to play this guitar
Well, I'm learning "Stairway to Heaven"
Cuz Heaven's where you are
I can't go to school
cuz I ain't got a gun
I ain't got a gun
cuz I ain't got a job
I ain't got a job
cuz I can't go to school
So I'm looking for a girl with a gun and a job
Don't you know where you are
Mary-Ann, I'm really crazy about you, deed I am
I just can't live without you, Mary-Ann
Mary-Ann
Mary-Ann
My life was built around you
Stars and sand, your eyes were pools of laughter, Mary-Ann
Black leather gloves and your lipstick shines
Bright as moonlight glows
My wildest rose cuts so fine and deep
It hurts but never shows
You're bad, you're so hardcore
Pull me down here on the killing floor
CHORUS
Little by little we cross the line
Little by little the ties that bind
Little by little by little by little
Little by little tonight
Your sugar tongue speaks hot and sweet
Lying just for fun
Push and shove
Sex is sex
But honey, love is love
We're not sick insane
Just another lovers' game
CHORUS
I'm all undone
My pretty one
Don't slap my face
Unless you kiss me
CHORUS
You beg and you cry for more
You pull me down here on the killing floor
Somebody better shake you
Somebody better turn your head around
I'm scratching like a wild cat
I'm spitting fire on the ground
You got my venom running thru ya
Ain't gonna let you run off wild
CHORUS
I'm Snakebite
I'm your only man
Snakebite is your lover
You'll never hide, baby understand
Snakebite drags you under
I'm Snakebite
They call me Snakebite
Nobody gonna take you
Nobody gonna touch your rebel skin
I'll break 'em like a matchstick
Cuz baby that's the kind of mood I'm in
My face is tattooed on your shoulder
Your name is scratched into my bike, yeah
CHORUS
You got my venom runnin' thru ya
If you're gonna run
Go running scared, I'm right behind ya
Well, I ain't evil, I'm just good lookin'
Start a little fire, and baby start cookin'
I'm a hungry man
But I don't want pizza
I'll blow down your house
And then I'm gonna eat ya
Bring you to a simmer
Right on time
Run my greasy fingers
Up your greasy spine
CHORUS
Feed my Frankenstein
Meet my libido
He's a psycho
Feed my Frankenstein
Hungry for love
And it's feeding time
You udon't want to talk
So baby shut up
And let me drink the wine from your fur tea cup
Velcro candy, sticky sweet
Make my tattoos melt in the heat
Well, I ain't no veggie
Like my flesh on the bone
Alive and lickin' on your ice cream cone
Well, I wake up burnin' in a soaking sweat
My pillows are drippin' and the sheets are wet
I jump out of bed and I turn on the light
This happens to me every night
Sometimes you turn into a snake with long black hair
Then you turn into an angel, blonde and fair
You can turn yourself blue and I don't care
You can change your look
You can change your race
But it's always your touch
And always your face
CHORUS
Dirty dreams
How you wanna do me
Dirty dreams
Let me get thru
Dirty dreams
A triple X-rated movie starring me and you
Well, I close my eyes
And you open your lips
There's a shock from my head to my fingertips
I fall thru a hole cuz I can't get a grip
The room starts to spin and the world starts to turn
My heart catches fire and my bed starts to burn
Dirty dreams
How you wann do me
Dirty Dreams
Anything for you, babe
Dirty Dreams
Technicolor movie starring me and you
Make my dreams come true
Shake my nights
Rattle my sleep
Roll mye eyes, I'm in too deep
A hundred numbers on my wall
Some with names I sometimes call
I drop a coin and watch it fall
Tryin' to get connected to you
A thousand hours all alone
My softest pillow turns hard as stone
This is the longest night on my own
Lying here thinking of you
Sometimes I shake my head
And laugh to myself
I'd like to start again with somebody else
I'm like a broken toy forgotten on the shelf
CHORUS
Baby, I could have been someone
I could have been something
It would have been nothing to die for you
Baby, you're going to need me
You'd better believe me
It would have been easy to die for you
A million memories flood my brain
Drown my sorrow
Kill my pain
Whets my thirst for you again
Just another night to get thru
All my neighbors scream for quiet at my door
Shattered glass and torn up photos on the floor
Well, I couldn't stand to see your pictures anymore
CHORUS
These cuts are deep but you plead innocent
Are you hell or are you heaven-sent
You're much to cold to know how much
You meant to me, yeah
A billion tear drops fallen from my eyes
But it's just a joke now
And I'm laughing at your lies
You mae me hard as rock and now I realize
Take another bite
It'll be alright
What's wrong will soon feel right
Dangerous tonight
Take another sip
Let it kiss your lips
And let a little drip on your thighs
If you let me I'll untie your sensuality
I'll open up your heart and satisfy my greed
CHORUS
I'm dangerous, I'm a dying breed
Poisonous like a centipede
I'm capable of the foulest deed
Dangerous at night
I'm dangerous like a razorback
Deadly like a heart attack
Well, I don't bend and I don't crack
Dangerous tonight
Take another turn
The rules have all been burned
And you've got tricks to learn
Dangerous tonight
Play another role
Try and lose control
And stain your soul to red from white
In my mind, oh, a million voices tell me no
It's prime crime time and I gotta let it go
I'm dangerous like a broken glass
I'm a flesh fanatic psychopath
I can cause you pain and make it last
Dangerous tonight
I'm dangerous when the sun goes down
So cross yourself, don't fool around
I'll drag your heart into the ground
Dangerous tonight
If you let me I'll untie your sensuality
I'll open up your heart and satisfy my greed
CHORUS
I'm dangerous like a broken glass
I'm a blood bubonic psychopath
I can cause you pain and make it last
Baby, don't you shed a tear for me
And I wouldn't want to waste your time
You talked a lot of trash and you lied to me
But Babe, you never even tried
Ohh oh oh oh
You can hold my heart for ransom
But you'll never own my soul
Baby, I might lose my mind
Maybe I might lose my head
One thing I'll never do
Is swallow my pride
Crawlin' back to you
Baby, I'm burnin' our bed
There used to be a time when you were everything
My flame through the night
You got me hot and then you blew me out
Like this match I'm about to light
Ohh oh oh oh
You can tear my heart to pieces
Left me standin' in the cold
Baby, I might lose my mind
Maybe I might lose my head
One thing I gotta do
Is torch those sheets
And pillows too
Baby, I'm burnin' our bed
Well, I used to think you were so kind
How could I be so blind?
Ohh oh oh oh
I'm free
But I'm alone
Maybe I might lose my mind
(I might lose my mind)
Maybe I might lose my head
(Might lose my head)
One thing I swear to you
You're gonna feel the heat
Before this night is through
Baby, you're burnin' me
Sometimes a man can bleed
Baby, I'm burning our bed
Baby, I might lose my mind
(I don't care)
Maybe I might lose my head
(Aw, wouldn't be the first time)
One thing I'll never do
Is swallow my pride
An' crawlin' back to you
It's not like we did something wrong
We just burned down the church
While the choir within sang religious songs
And it's not like we thought we was right
We just played with the wheels of a passenger train
That cracked on the tracks one night
It's not like we ain't on the ball
We just talk to our shrinks
Huh they talk to their shrinks
No wonder we're up the wall
We're not stupid or dumb
We're the lunatic fringe who rusted the hinge
On Uncle Sam's daughters and sons
Good old boys and girls
Congregating waiting in another world
With roller coaster brains
Imagine playing with trains
Good old boys and girls
Congregating waiting in some other world
We're all crazy we're all crazy we're all crazy
Lizzy Borden took an axe and gave her mother forty whacks
And don't think we're trying to be bad
All the innocent crime seemed alright at the time
Not necessarily mad not necessarily mad
We watch every day for the bus
And the driver would say
'That's where lunatics stay'
I wonder if he's talking about us
It's not like we're vicious or gone
We just dug up the graves where your relatives lay
In old forest lawn
And it's not like we don't know the score
We're the fragile elite they dragged off the street
I guess they just couldn't take us no more
Good old boys and girls
Congregating waiting in another world
With roller coaster brains
Imagine digging up graves
Good old boys and girls
Congregating waiting in some other world
We're all crazy we're all crazy we're all crazy we're all crazy
We're all crazy we're all crazy we're all crazy we're all crazy
We're all crazy
I got lost on the road somewhere
Was it Texas or was it Canada
Drinking whiskey in the morning light
I work the stage all night long
At first we laughed about it
My long haired drunken friends
Proposed a toast to Jimmy's ghost
I never dreamed that I would wind up on the losing end
I'm stuck here on the inside looking out
I'm just another case
Where's my makeup where's my face on the inside
All got your kicks from what you saw up there
Eight bucks even buys a folding chair
I was downing seagrams on another flight
And I worked that stage all night long
You were screaming for the villain up there
And I was much obliged
The old road sure screwed me good this time
It's hard to see where the vicious circle ends
I'm stuck here on the inside looking out
That's no big disgrace
From his army confessions of his military days
You still carry the shrapnel you're shell-shocked and dazed
Dear Johnny have you lost your way
Or like denim and leather are you faded and frayed
Institute lackies with hot bourbon breath
White coats and needles Johnny like to scare you to death
Dear Johnny do you feel your best
When you're strung out at night on your morphine and meth
Jackknife Johnny you're a floor moppin' flunkie
Tool of a dagger's drawn world
Jackknife Johnny them old vets gotta hate you
For bringing home that V.C. girl
Jackknife Johnny welcome to our world
From the tone deaf hearing of the draft board game
You were washing cars down in Dallas when the holocaust came
Dear Johnny your excuse was lame
All your friends sleep in boxes while you sleep in chains
Jackknife Johnny you're a bad jungle monkey
Tool of a dagger's drawn world
Jackknife Johnny them old vets gotta hate you
For bringing home that V.C. girl
Jackknife Johnny welcome to our world
Jackknife Johnny you're a floor moppin' flunkie
Tool of a dagger's drawn world
Jackknife Johnny them old vets gotta hate you
For bringing home that V.C. girl
Jackknife Johnny welcome to our world
Jackknife Johnny you're a bad jungle monkey
Tool of a dagger's drawn world
Jackknife Johnny them old vets gotta hate you
For bringing home that V.C. girl
I got my name and number
I got my bed assigned
I got a dog in the city pound
That I left behind
I'm strapped down and wild-eyed
She's locked up in a pen
She needs somebody to feed her
And I'm her only friend
So for Veronica's sake I gotta get out of here
Yeah for Veronica's sake, she can get pretty weird
Yeah for Veronica's sake I gotta get myself out of here
We both been put in cages
We got our shots and tags
I got my sweatin' fist to shake
She's got her tail to wag
She has to bark and whimper
While I could scream and shout
The clock above the psycho ward
Says time is running out
So for Veronica's sake I gotta get out of here
Yeah for Veronica's sake, she can get pretty weird
Yeah for Veronica's sake I gotta get myself out of here
And I can see her howling all night at the lonely moon
They're going to give her the gas if I don't get there soon
I gotta get there soon
For Veronica's sake I gotta get out of here
Please clean the plates, dear
The Lord above can see ya
Don't you know people are starving in Korea?
Alcohol and razor blades are straight pins and needles
Kindergarten people-they use'em, they need'em
Over-indulging machineswere their children
there wasn't a way down on Earth to cool'em
'Cause they look just like humans at Kresges and Woolworths
But decadent brains were ruling the streets
Saying generation landslide closed the gap between'em
And I laugh to myself at the men and the ladies
Who never conceived of us billion dollar babies
militant mothers hiding in their basement
Using pots and pants as their shields and their helmets
Molotov milk bottles haved from pink high chairs
While Mothers' Lib burned son's hours
But she owns a Maserati that's a gift from his father
Stopped at full speed at a hundred miles per hour
We're spinning round on this ball of hate
There's no parole, there's no great escape
We're sentenced here until the end of days
And then my brother there's a price to pay
We're only human, we were born to die
Without the benefit of reason why
We live for pleasure - to be satisfied
And now it's over there's no place to hide
Why don't you, come down too
It's such a brutal planet
It's such an ugly world
Why won't you, come down too
"This world is such perfection" (What a sight)
"It's just like paradise" (For my eyes)
"A truly grand creation" (What a sight)
"From up here it looks so nice" (For my eyes)
It's such a brutal planet
It's such a living hell
It was a holy garden
That's right where Adam fell
It's where the bite was taken
It's where we chose to sin
It's where we first were naked
This is where our death begins
We took advice from that deceiving snake
He said don't worry it's a piece of cake
And sent us swimming in a burning lake
Now we're abandoned here for heaven's sake
Why don't you, come down too
It's such a brutal planet
It's such an ugly world
Why won't you, come down too
"This world is such perfection" (What a sight)
"It's just like paradise" (For my eyes)
"A truly grand creation" (What a sight)
"From up here it looks so nice" (For my eyes)
Here's where we keep the armies
Here's where we write those names
Here's where the money god is
Here's our famous hall of shame
Here's where we starve the hungry
Here's where we cheat the poor
Here's where we beat the children
Here is where we pay the whore
Why don't you, come down too
It's such a brutal planet
It's such an ugly world
Why won't you, come down too
"This world is such perfection" (What a sight)
"It's just like paradise" (For my eyes)
"A truly grand creation" (What a sight)
"From up here it looks so nice" (For my eyes)
Right here we stoned the prophets
Built idols out of mud
Right here we fed the lions
Christian flesh and Christian blood
Down here is where we hung ya
Upon an ugly cross
Over there we filled the ovens
Sick things in cars rotate around my stars
Sick things ,my things, my pets, my things
I love you
Things, I see as much as you love me, you things are heavently when you come worship me
You things are chilled with fright for I am out tonight
You tell me where to bite, you whet my appetite
I eat my things
What love it brings
Come here, my things
Don't fear my little things
Sick things in cartridge tapes my stars
If there's a tear on my face
It makes me shiver to the bones it shakes me, babe
It's just a heartache that got caught in my eye
And you know, I never cry
I never cry
Sometimes I drink more than I need
Until the TV's dead and gone
I may be lonely but I'm never alone
And the night may pass me by
But I'll never cry
Take away, take away my eyes
Sometimes I'd rather be blind
Break a heart, break a heart of stone
Open it up but don't you leave it alone
'Cause that's all I've got to give you
Believe me babe, it ain't been used
My heart's a virgin, it ain't never been tried
And you know I never cry
And you know I never cry
And you know, you know, you know, you know
That I never cry, I never cry
Break a heart, break a heart of stone
Open it up but don't you leave it alone
'Cause that's all I've got to give to you
Believe me babe, it ain't been used
My heart's a virgin, it ain't never been tried
And you know I never cry
I'm going home
There I am there in my bedrrom
I'm safe and I'm snug and shoring
And so glad to be there
I'm going home
None of this ever happened
But God, I relly did it
Still nothing has changed
I'm going home
I'm going home
To my own room to all the mess
To all the dirty laundry
It looks so good I don't care
I'm just so glad to be back home
Sweet home
I wonder if anyone missed me
Or have I been gone so long
They thought that I'd died
How many said I wonder what happened to Alice
How many shrugged or laughed
How many cried
But I don't give a damn
'Cuz I'm going home
I'm going home
To my own room to all the mess
To all the dirty laundry
It looks so good I don't care
I'm just so glad to be back home
I'm going home
I've got the answers
To all of your questions
If you've got the money
To pay me in gold
I will be living
In old Monte Carlo
And you will be reading
The secrets of soul
Daggers and contacts
And bright shiny limos
I've got a watch
That turns into a lifeboat
Glimmering nightgowns
And poisonous cobras
Silencer under the heel of my shoe
The elegance of China
They sent her to lie here on her back
But as she deeply moves me
She'd rather shoot me in my tracks
And while a Middle Asian lady
She really came as no surprise
But I still did destroy her
And I will smash
Halo of flies
I crossed the ocean
Where no one could see
And I put a time-bomb
In your submarine
Goodbye to old friends
The secret's in hand
With full ream of papers
And fantastic plans
I love the dead before they rise
No farewells, no goodbyes
I never even knew your now rotting face
While friends and lovers mourn your silly grave
I have other uses for you, darling
I love the dead
I love the dead
I love the dead so
I love the dead
I love the dead
I love the dead
I love the dead before they're cold
Their blueing flesh for me to hold
Gather round right now
and hear me whisper
the words of the prison
the words of laughter
The lords and the ladies
were fixing their hair-dos
cursing their lovers
cursing the Bible
Hallow-ed by my name
yelling at fathers
screaming at mothers
Hallow-ed by my name
Come all you sinners
Come now in your glory
and my ears will listen
to your dirty stories
you're fighting to go up
you're sure on your way down
Cursing their lovers
Cursing the Bible
Hallow-ed by my name
Yelling at fathers
Screaming at mothers
Hallow-ed by my name
Sluts and the hookers
have taken your money
The queens are out dancing
but now it's not funny
'Cause there goes one walkin'
away with your sonny
Cursing their lovers
Cursing the Bible
Hallow-ed by my name
yelling at fathers
screaming at mothers
Beautiful flyaway somewhere like holy days wonder what brought me down to earth
Haven't I always been here let's have another nibble later I think I'll disappear into the bishop's hall
And take a look at what we offer DDT poisoning me changing my relativity what's it going to be
Da da da da d da later I think I'll disappear into another room and take a look inside the till
Lovely days human ways journeys that take us to the end aah
Haven't we always been here sharing one love and one fear
Some day you'll know that life is really really all about you
So come and look inside you'll be surprised to find
Later I think I'll disappear into another womb and take a look inside the mens' room
Haven't I given you everything that I could give where do you live aah
Who says the earth is crumbling
And no sky is falling through?
Sometimes, I just can't die
The world should be assembling
But not just right out of view
Whole days I like to fry
Easy action, got a rocket in your pocket
When you're a jet, you're a jet all the way
From your first cigarette to your last dying day
Who says the earth is trembling
I got me a complication
And it's an only child
Concern my reputation
As something more than wild
I know it serves me right
But I can't sleep at night
I have to hide my face
Or go some other place
I won't cry out for justice
Admit that I was wrong
Stay in hibernation
'Til the talk subsides and gone
My social life's a dud
My name is really mud
I'm up to here in lies
I guess I'm down to size...to size
I can't seem to talk about
The things that bother me
Seems to be what everybody has
Against me! (ooh! ooh! ooh! yeah!)
Now here's my situation
And how it really stands
I'm out of circulation
I've all but washed my hands
My social life's a dud
My name is really mud
I'm up to here in lies
I guess I'm down to size...to size
Talk, talk
Talk, talk
Talk, talk
I don't want to see you go,
I don't even want to be there.
I will cover up my eyes
And pray it goes away.
You've only lived a minute of your life
I must be dreaming,
Please stop screaming.
I don't like to hear you cry.
You just don't know
How deep that cuts me.
So I will cover up my eyes
And it will go away.
You've only lived a minute of your life
I must be dreaming,
Please stop screaming.
Steven
I hear my name. (Steven)
Is someone calling me ?
I hear my name. (Steven)
That icy breath,
It whispers screams of pain.
I don't want to feel you die,
But if that's the way
That God has planned you,
I'll put pennies on your eyes
And it will go away, see ?
You've only lived a minute of your life
I must be dreaming,
Please stop screaming.
(Steven) (Is someone calling me ? - No)
(Steven)
(I think I hear a voice,
It's outside the door.)
(Steven) I hear my name.
(Steven) (Is someone calling me ?
I hear my name.)
(Steven) (What do you want ?)
(Steven) (What do you want ?)
(What do you want ?) (Steven)
We've been so caught up in the subject first again
Playing and laughing and slaving and begging our friend
Who lies and to try to cut off our heads like we were
Painting our picture to show everyone in the world show them
Killing is natural the legs and faces can break
We're not superiors hiding behind the gray paint
Who lies and to try to cut off our heads like we were
Painting our picture to show everyone in the world
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
Walkin' through the tombstones
Go there everyday
Stood damn still I got a chill
Someone walked across my grave
Stroll across the killing fields
In the middle of the night
Walked across the fire
In the cold moon light
Black cat crossed my pathway
Winks her juju eye
Cross myself and kiss this world goodbye
Nights alive with music
Puts me in a trance
Sneak up on the bonfire
Watch the zombies dance
My tongue is hot and burnin'
When I try to speak
Spirit is so willing
My flesh is gettin' weak
Yeah, it's gettin' weak
Now I ain't superstitious
Don't roll no juju bones
Someone calls in the middle of the night
And no one's on the phone
Black cat crossed my pathway
Winks her juju eye
I crossed myself and kiss this world goodbye
I ain't superstitious
Don't roll no voodoo bones
Someone calls in the middle of the night
No ones on the phone
Nights alive with music

We're all slaves when we hear that sound

And there ain't no two ways about it
We're all compelled to rise and thrust
When we all move together
We're hypnotized with savage lust
Says dance

I'm so hot it makes me shiver
Makes me wet
Makes me slide
It's some spirit I'm possessed by

And we gotta shake and shimmy
We got the strings tied to our soul
Says dance

Says we gotta dance
(And I don't mean tomorrow)
Tie you up baby, really tight
In a lover's knot...
I'm in the mood for my leather boots
With the leopard spots
Take you down to my side of town
Where I learned to love
Strap you down, honey
Pet you nice with my velvet glove
You dial my number
So let me take the lead
I'm the man, understand
With the smooth slight of hand
And all the magic you need
T-t-t-t-t trick bag, sit back and just enjoy the show
Burn you with desire
Trick bag, come on and let your body go
Gonna lay it on thick
So the memory'll stick
Chew me up with your perfect mouth
Don't you spit me out
Teach you good, Little Miss Hollywood
What it's all about
You call me up baby, in the middle of the night
You say you're sweating red
And you're dripping on you’re bed
T-tripping in the moonlight
T-t-t-t-t trick bag, sit back and just enjoy the show
Burn you with my fires
Trick bag, come on and let your body go
Gonna lay it on thick
So the memory'll stick
You call me up baby, in the middle of the night
You say you're sweating red
And you're dripping on you’re bed
T-tripping in the moonlight
T-t-t-t-t trick bag, sit back and just enjoy the show
T-t-t-t-t trick bag, come on and let your body go
Gonna lay it on thick
Trick bag, sit back and just enjoy the show
Trick bag, come on and let your body go
yeah, my hand are quick
Trick bag, sit back and just enjoy the show
Trick bag, come on and let your body go…go…
She looked so sleek and sassy
Rolling down Rodeo Drive
She got her daddy's black Corniche
And her tennis pro by her side
And she wants her mother's lover
To exercise her skill
And if she don't score him fast
She knows that her brother will
Oh I wish I were born in Beverly Hills
I swear I couldn't drink half as much as she spills
I want to live it up get my kicks and thrills
Be a gigolo lover and send her the bills
She says that she's an actress
Just never got a part
Now she's a teenage mess
With a burned out Gucci heart
She cracked one day at Cartier
When things came to a head
They put her trinkets away
And wrapped her up instead
Oh I wish I were born in Beverly Hills
I swear I couldn't drink half as much as she spills
I want to live it up get my kicks and thrills
Be a gigolo lover and send her the bills
She bit like a dog and she screamed like hell
"You ain't taking me to no padded cell
You better take all your hands off my high priced tail"
Oh I wish I were born in Beverly Hills
I swear I couldn't drink half as much as she spills
I want to live it up get my kicks and thrills
[Instrumental]
Why don't you love me?
Why don't you love me?
Well, if you don't love me baby
Don't come around tonight
Seen you comin' baby
Comin' 'round tonight
Don't you love me baby?
Said you did last night
Well, if you don't love me baby
Don't come 'round tonight
Why don't you love me?
Why don't you love me?
Well, if you don't love me baby
Don't come 'round tonight yow
Why don't you love me?
Why don't you love me?
Well, if you don't love me baby
Then don'tcha come 'round tonight
Comin' round me baby
Comin' round my door
Why don't you love me baby?
Said you did before
Well, if you don't love me baby
Then don'tcha come 'round no more
Why don't you love me?
Why don't you love me?
Well, if you don't love me baby
Then don't come 'round no more
You come on strong with a great big smile
But your teeth are as sharp as a crocodile
You promise me the moon and the stars and the sun
But you never did nothin'for anyone
Can't look me in the face or straight in the eye
I'd buy the movie rights for your alibi
I wonder how low you will go
I wonder how high your head will blow
You're psychopathic liar
Your soul is on fire
You're bluffin'with nothin'
While the stakes are gettin'higher
Why trust you
You never made a dream come true
Why trust you
Give me one good reason, one good reason why
You come to me all teary-eyed
With your big tall tale way up to the sky
Begging on your knees for another chance
But everybody knows that's a song and a dance
There used to be a time when you were the best
You had the fastest tongue in the west
Ya gave a look and a line like nobody else
You'd try to sell the Bible to the devil, Himself
You sadistic little liar
You're walking on the wire you're bluffin'up with nothin'
And the bills are gettin'higher
Why trust you
You never made a dream come true
Why trust you
Give me one good reason, one good reason why
Trust you
The noose is getting tighter
Your face is turning whiter
You can stuff it up your muffin and go stick it in the fire
Why trust you
You never made a dream come true
Why trust you, give me one good reason, one good reason
Why trust you, you never made a dream come true
Why trust you, give me one good reason, one good reason
Why trust you, why trust you
Why trust you, why trust you
Who do you think we are
I'm machinery
With a semi-automatic heart
I'm unclassified
I terminate, I tear apart
I'm always there when you think I'm not
I'm razor sharp and I'm white and hot
My finger squeezes out the final shot
Say "Goodbye"
No integrity
No contemplating soul or thought
I'm insanity
I'm a camouflag-ed work of art
I've done some things I really can't describe
I've made some mouths open pretty wide
And I am licensed - trained and bona fide
Say "Goodbye"
Who do you think we are
Special forces in an armoured car
Who do you think we are
We don't care, we don't care
I'm carnivorous
Can't count the flesh that I've been through
Never sick of this
I'm red and white and black and blue
I'm always there when you think I'm not
I'm razor sharp and I'm white and hot
My finger squeezes out the final shot
Say "Goodbye"
Who do you think we are
Special forces in an armoured car
Who do you think we are
We don't care, we don't care
Who do you think we are
Who do you think we are
We don't care
Who do you think we are
Who do you think we are
We just don't care
Who do you think we are
Who do you think we are
No, no, no, we just don't care
Who do you think we are
Who do you think we are
Who do you think we are
Who do you think we are
Who do you think we are
I call you every hour on the telephone
I work my fingers right down to the bone
I even got you a chihuahua so you wouldn't be alone
Got you you a trailer 'bout the size of Maine
Bought a mile of interstate in your name
I've given you everything
Baby what do you want from me!
I burned all my porno - 'cause you were PMS'n
You say it offends you - All that talking it never ends
Disconnected my X-Box and ditched all my friends
So you can go to the opera.
Don't call my girlfriends - Even the dirty ones
You think they annoy you - they wanna destroy you
I'm givin' you everything
Baby what do you want from me!
Got you a picture you can put in a frame
Wearing a suit all check and lame
I even signed it at the bottom so you'd 'member my name
Took you to Target for your birthday meal
Got you an autographed buns of steel
So what a deal!
I'm givin' you everything
Baby what do you want from me!
I burned all my porno - 'cause you were PMS'n
You say it offends you - All that talking it never ends
Disconnected my X-Box and ditched all my friends
So you can go to the opera.
Don't call my girlfriends - even the dirty ones
You say they annoy you - they wanna destroy you
I'm givin' you everything Baby what do you want from me!
I give you everything
Zirconium diamond rings
I Gotcha LoJack for your pontiac
And some decals on your finger nails
And a a bassmaster(?), a Singing trout
And a TV and a CD
And a DVD from ABC
And baby what ya think of me!
Burned all my porno
You say it offends you
Disconnected my X-Box
Baby what do you want from me!
What do you want from me!
What do you want from me!
Well, I rocked over Italy and I rocked over Spain
I rocked in Memphis it was all the same
till I rocked to Africa
I rolled off the ship
I seem them natives doing an odd looking skip
I parted the weeds and I looked over the swamp
and I seen them cats doin' the Ubangi Stomp
Ubangi Stomp is a rock and roll
It beats anything that's ever been told
Ubangi Stomp, Ubangi style
when it kicks it drives a cool cat wild
Well I looked up the chief he invited me in
He said, "A heap big jam session's 'bout to begin"
I grabbed up a tom and I picked up the beat
That crazy thing sent shivers to my feet
I rocked and I rolled and I skipped with a smile
I did the Ubangi Stomp with a Ubangi style
Well, we rocked all night and part of the day
Had a good, rock-in' time
with the chief's daughter Mae
I'm making good time and I'm getting in the know
when the captain said, "Son, we've gotta go"
I said, "That's all right
You go right ahead
I'm gonna Ubangi Stomp till I roll over dead"
Ubangi Stomp is a rock and roll
It beats anything that's ever been told
Ubangi Stomp, Ubangi style
when it kicks it drives a cool cat wild
I was sitting in my room, dark and gray and crying
Someone in my life I fear was at the point of dying
A cold wind blew right up my spine, it was the break of dawn
A little voice went deep inside, told me she was gone
Oh, this house is haunted
Oh, that's how I want it to be
Oh this house is haunted
You can always stay here with me
No more singing, no more laughing, no more sunny days
She left and took the colors with her, buried in her grave
This is where we climbed the tower, this is where she fell
Then when her young heart stopped beating, I went to hell
Oh, this house is haunted
Oh, ha
Oh, this house is haunted
Oh, oh
You float through the living room, I watch my TV
I feel you sit down on the couch right here next to me
Then I feel your lips touch mine just like we used to do
I used to be so in control
But reality is losing its hold
Now I don't know where to begin
Just look at the state that I'm in
My mind is in total decay
I'm coming to take you away
There's nothing more that I can do
This maniac's in love with you
Your biggest fear has just come true
This maniac's in love with you
This maniac's in love with you
This maniac, this maniac
My heart has been strapped in a straight jacket love
The therapy boys say it fits like glove
I'm grossing the line in my brain
The line between pleasure and pain
It takes all I've got to survive
This madness will eat me alive
There's nothing more that I can do
This maniac's in love with you
Your biggest fear has just come true
There's nothing more that I can do
This maniac's in love with you
There's nothing more that I can do
This maniac's in love with you
I'm all locked up inside of you
This maniac, this maniac
I just don't know where to begin
Just look at the state that I'm in
My mind is total decay
I'm coming to take you away
There's nothing more that you can do
This maniac's in love with you
Your biggest fear has just come true
This maniac's in love with you
There's nothing more that you can do
This maniac's in love with you
Your biggest fear has just come true
I'm the kid on the block
With my head made of rock
And I ain't got nobody
I'm the state of the art
Got a brain a la carte
I make the babies cry
I ain't one of the crowd
I ain't one of the guys
They just avoid me
They run and they hide
Are my colours too bright
Are my eyes set too wide
I spend my whole life burning, turning
I'm a teenage Frankenstein
The local freak with the twisted mind
I'm a teenage Frankenstein
These ain't my hands
And these legs ain't mine
Got a synthetic face
Got some scars and a brace
My hands are rough and bloody
I walk into the night
Women faint at the sight
I ain't no cutie-pie
I can't walk in the day
I must walk in the night
Stay in the shadows
Stay out of the light
Are my shoulders too wide
Is my head screwed on tight
I spend my whole life burning, turning
I'm a teenage Frankenstein
The local freak with the twisted mind
I'm a teenage Frankenstein
These ain't my hands
And these legs ain't mine…no
I ain't one of the crowd
I ain't one of the guys
They just avoid me
They run and they hide
Are my colours too bright
Are my eyes set too wide
I spend my whole life burning, turning
I'm a teenage Frankenstein
The local freak with the twisted mind
I'm a teenage Frankenstein
These ain't my hands and these legs ain't mine
I'm a teenage Frankenstein
The local freak with the twisted mind
I'm a teenage Frankenstein
These words he speaks are true we're all humanary stew if we don't pledge allegiance to the black widow
The horror that he brings the horror of his sting the unholiest of kings the black widow
Our minds will be his toy and every girl and boy will learn to be employed by the black widow
Love me yes we love me love him yes we love him love me yes we love him ahahahaha
He sits upon this throne and picks at all the bones of his husbands and his wives he's devoured
He stares with a gleam with a laugh so obscene at the virgins and the children he's deflowered
Love me yes we love me love him yes we love him love me yes we love him ahahahaha
Our thoughts are hot and crazed our brains are webbed in haze of mindless senseless daze the black widow
'cos these speaks he says are true we're all humanary stew if we don't pledge allegiance to the black widow
The black widow
I'm in jail in a Texas town
In my sister's wedding gown
I drive a truck all night long
Listening to Judy Garland songs
Now I'm locked behind bars of steel
I was just looking for a happy meal
I park my rig and I went inside
They've never seen such a pretty bride
Jesse Jane, are you insane
Or are you just a normal guy
Who dresses like a butterfly?
Jesse Jane
I paid my bill and I turned around
Facing every red neck in that one horse town
His face was red, his fist was clenched
He threw his coke and he got me drenched
Jesse Jane, are you insane
Or are you just an average Joe
Looking for a fashion show?
Jesse Jane
Well, I guess that was the final straw
I pulled a pistol from my Wonderbra
I killed him dead, I killed 'em all
And they finally caught me in the bathroom stall
And now I'm doing ten to life
But I'll tell you one thing, Bubba
Someday I'm gonna make someone in here
A hell of a wife
Jesse Jane, are you insane
Or are you just an average guy
Who dresses like a butterfly?
Jesse Jane
Jesse Jane, are you insane
Or are you just a Peter Pan
Looking for his Neverland?
[Instrumental]
Sun Arise come every mornin'

I walk the streets alone
On feeble bones I ride
My sins are etched in stone
I got no place to hide
Well, I was unshakable
In what I did believe
I feel so breakable
But have I been deceived
You showed me your paradise
And your carnival of souls
But my heart keeps telling me
That ain't the place to go
Well, I'm not invincible
So I want you to leave
Well, I'm so convincible
But have I been deceived
I take your words and try them on
Yeah, it's a perfect fit, boy
You tell me one size fits us all
Yeah, like an old straightjacket
Well, tell me why I'm so afraid
All my words are spoken
All my words are spoken
All my words are spoken
In a stolen prayer
I remember yesterday
When things were black and white
Never thought I'd get confused
On what was wrong and right
Well, I'm not unbreakable
With armour on my skin
Well, it's not unthinkable
I could be fooled again
I take your words and try them on
Yeah, it's a perfect fit, boy
You tell me one size fits us all
Yeah, like an old straightjacket
Well, tell me why I'm so afraid
All my words are spoken
All my words are spoken
All my words are spoken
In a stolen prayer
You steal another minute from my life
You cut a little deeper with your knife
You steal a little breath from my air
And you don't care
And even thought I'm choking
All my words are spoken
I take your words and try them on
Yeah, it's a perfect fit, boy
You tell me one size fits us all
Yeah, like an old straightjacket
Take this world and try it on
Man, you're looking good boy
Stick your neck out on the block
So you won't miss nothing
Stretch your finger, grab your hair
Don't you feel like screaming
Feel the blood rush from your veins
Now you're a perfect zombie
Now I'm on my knees
All my words are spoken
All my words are spoken
All my words are spoken
All my words are spoken
All my words are spoken
Nobody likes me
It's all my fault
Nobody likes me
Nobody likes me
Oh yes we all like you
We like you a lot
Yes we all like you
Yes we all like you
I never get a letter
We have no time
Never ever get a call from you
I have no dime
Oh yes you do
Oh no we don't [x3]
Yes! No! Yes! No! [etc.]
Never call, never write
Yes I do always try
Make me cry all the night
Sorry I made you cry
Make me sad, Make me mad
Tell me true, what can I do?
Way too late can't cant make up
All the late has built up
Ha ha ha ha aaah
Right we all like you
We like you a lot
We like all your family
We like your dog Spot
Even Spot?
Out of the blue came a kill-crazy crew
Whose motto was stomp on the weak
With bones in their hair
They was hungry as bears
And their leader was King of the freaks
They was... Space Pirates
The lowest scum of the yellow sun
They was... Space Pirates
Sack a galaxy just for fun
(fire away)
Well now, out of the blue came this wolf pack who knew
That the name of the game was to hate
Perverts and pimps followed one-legged gimps
They was bow legged bastards of fate
They was... Space Pirates
Skulls lie white on the martian sands
They was... Space Pirates
Empires ransom in their hands
(people were scared)
Out of the blue came this mind-blowing zoo
A collection of mutated crud
Death on their hips
There was foam on their lips
And behind them a shadow of blood
They was... Space Pirates
Broken bodies and twisted minds
They was... Space Pirates
Screaming nightmares left behind
Out of the blue came a kill-crazy crew
Whose motto was stomp on the weak
Bones in their hair
They was hungry as bears
And their leader was King of the freaks
They was... Space Pirates
The lowest scum of the yellow sun
They was... Space Pirates
[Xzibit:]
Yeah
Stand Up
What do you believe in?
Yeah
Stand Up
C'mon
[Alice:]
Just a face in the crowd
Feelin' lost, down and out
(Can you hear me now)
Millions more just like you
Afraid to do what they wanna do
(Am I getting through)
Lots of losers hanging round
Only there to bring you down
Get you feet up off the ground
Get up. Get up. Get up
If you don't stand for somethin'
You will fall for anythin'
If you don't stand for somethin'
You will fall for anythin'
Get up
[Xzibit:] Yeah Yeah
[Alice:]
Don't you know that you're worth
As much as anyone on earth
(You're a megastar)
Put your hands in the sky
Let your freaky colours fly
(Get 'em way up high)
You got style and you got game
So get it out don't be ashamed
([Xzibit:] Yeah)
Let everybody know your name
([Xzibit:] C'mon)
Get it on out now, what's you name
If you don't stand for somethin'
You will fall for anythin'
If you don't stand for somethin'
([Xzibit:] Stand Up)
You will fall for anythin'
Get up
[Xzibit:]
Yeah
Yeah
Breathe with me
Yeah
C'mon
Breathe
You can stand for peace
You can stand for war
I stand in the square I never stood before
I take a stand for my son like Afeni Shakur
(Note: Mother of dead rapper Tupac Shakur)
I take a stand like a four double six six four
Stand alone in my struggle
Can't make me stand down
Make 'em crash and burn
Mayday mayday may tell
Get up stand up get your damn hands off
If they not shackled to your feet in some handcuffs
We need solutions, not propaganda
Let the tape roll, make the whole world stand up
Hold your position, don't go backwards
X still grinding, the west's keeps shining
Don't look too long you might get blinded
Follow your heart, your head might just find it
I pray for the strength to handle what my city brings
Better stand for something (or) you're bound to fall for anything
[Alice:]
If you don't stand for somethin'
([Xzibit:] stand up stand up)
You will fall for anythin'
Get Up!
If you don't stand for somethin'
You will fall for anythin'
Everybody's got a voice
Now's the time to make some noise
(Let me hear you now)
Get up!
For criminal acts and violence on the stage
For being a brat
Refusing to act your age
For all of the decent citizens you've enraged
You can go to Hell
For gambling and drinking alcohol constantly
For making us doubt our parents authority
For choosing to be a living obscenity
You can go to Hell
You're something that never should have happened
You even make your Grandma sick
You'd poison a blind man's dog and steal his cane
You'd gift wrap a leper
And mail him to your Aunt Jane
You'd even force-feed a diabetic a candy cane
You can go to Hell
You're something that never should have happened
You even make your Grandma sick
For criminal acts and violence on the stage
For being a brat
Refusing to act your age
For all of the decent citizens you've enraged
Woah-oh, woah-oh - Skeletons in my closet
Woah-oh, woah-oh yeah - Skeletons in my closet
Skeletons in my closet
Skeletons in my shoes
Skeletons I can only see
Skeletons I can lose
I said woah-oh, woah-oh
I got skeletons in my closet
I said woah-oh, woah-oh yeah
Skeletons in my closet
Skeletons in my basement
Loitering on my streets
Wearing my best pyjamas
Sandwiched between my sheets
I said woah-oh, woah-oh yeah
Skeletons in my closet
I said woah-oh, woah-oh yeah
Skeletons in my closet
Ooh, I see bones
I see bones, icy bones
Ooh, I see bones
Say say bones - say boys don't you see them bones?
Rattle them bones at midnight
Shaking my bed, no sleep
I find fingers in my coat pocket
Skeletons from the deep
I said woah-oh, woah-oh
I got skeletons in my closet
I said woah-oh, woah woah-oh
I got skeletons in my closet
Ooh, I see bones
I see bones, s-see bones
Ooh, I see bones
Icy bones
Say boys don't you see them bones?
Heart bones, leg bones, ankle bones, arm bones
finger bones, dogie bones, head bones
Skeletons in my closet
They even know when I'm in my closet
It's my.. my closet
Not your closet
My closet
You can help me though
Alice… we want you
Alice, Alice
A-Alice, A-Alice, A-Alice…
There's only six hours
Left in the day
Time is so precious
And it's slippin' away
Got no destination
Got no place to go
And being with you
Is all that I know
Put your head on my pillow
We're finally alone
Wash the dust from your hair now
I don't care if you ever get home
There's only six hours
How quickly it goes
In this sacred place
Our secret is safe, nobody knows
Put your head on my pillow
We're finally alone
Wash the dust from your hair now
I don't care if you ever get home
Wash the dust from your hair now
I'm not a Buddha boy
I'm not a Muslim man
I'm not a Christian or a Jew
I'm not a Mormon freak
I'm not a Catholic geek
And I'm nothing at all like you
My mind, my heart, my soul is calm
While I sit here sauteriing my c-2 bomb
Got some wires crossed
In my twisted head
Connect the green wire here or was it red?
Cause it's my fate
I operate on hate
I go by many other names
But now
I am the sentinel
I want the world to know
I'm sending you all to hell
I'm tired and I'm wired here to blow
There's something disturbing
Going on in my turban
I'm home, home on de/the range
I feel my meditation so deep within
While my medication's kicking in
Cause it's my fate
I operate on hate
I go by many other names
But now
I am the sentinel
I want the world to know
I'm sending you all to hell
I'm tired and I'm wired here to blow
I am the sentinel
I want the world to know
I'm sending you all to hell
I couldn't tell
if the bells were getting louder
The songs they ring I finally recognize
I only know
Hell is getting hotter
the Devil's getting smarter all the time
And it would be nice
to walk upon the water
to talk again to angels
at my side
Time is getting closer
I read it on a poster
fanatical exposers
on corners prophesy
It would be nice
to walk upon the water
to talk again to angels
on my side
I just come back to show you
all your words are golden
so have no gods before me
I saw you in your wedding gown the prettiest dress
I came into the room that night and made such a mess
In my own way I lovingly kiss the bride
With your ring in your hand your eyes and your mouth open wide
In my eyes blood drops look like roses on white lace
They won't wash away
In my mind they're roses on white lace straight from the heart
So dead upon the bed
You hurt me in the deepest way, I'm crippled inside
I took your evil skin away, it's all cut and dried
I saw you tonight and carefully took your hand
With some smears on my cheeks I knew that you would understand
In my eyes blood drops look like roses on white lace
They won't wash away
In my mind they're roses on white lace straight from the heart
So dead upon the bed, still searching for your head
They're never gonna find your face, it's hidden away
I found a very special place where you used to play
In my own way, I lovingly kiss the bride
With your ring in your hand your eyes and your mouth open wide
In my eyes blood drops look like roses on white lace
They won't wash away
In my mind they're roses on white lace straight from the heart
Blood drops look like roses on white lace
Crimson and sweet, stained on the sheet
Roses on white lace
Pretty in red, dripping and wet
Roses on white lace
Spilled on the walls, dark in the hall
We work this band cause they make it rock
but we're the guys that make it roll
We move the drums and amps and junk
Road rats:
We're a pack and the road's our home
On the road half my young man's life
I spend a lot of time
Ain't got no bread to show for it
Road rats
All the cash spent on whites and wine
We're the men behind the man
We're the backbone muscle clan
We do a thousand one night stands
If the stars can make it
If the band can shake it
Well, if those guys can take it
We can…yeah
We work this band cause they make it rock
But we're the guys that make it roll
We move the drums and amps and junk
Road rats:
We're a pack and the road's our home
Road rats:
We're a pack and the road's our home
Road rats:
We're a pack and the road's our home
Road rats:
We're a pack and the road's our home
We're the men behind the man
We're the backbone muscle clan
We do a thousand one night stands
If the stars can make it
If the band can shake it
Well, if those guys can take it
Well, stop, look, and listen
There are ants that are gathered here
With my hands raised to speak
But you all won't hear
No, you all won't hear
We all won't hear
Let me in your living door
Let me in, knock knock I said, who's there
Well, it's me the reaching hand
And I'm coming after you
I'm coming after you
Coming after you
Well, I'm tired, yes, I'm weary from my long journey
But I'm not yet all ready to rest
For you can come along with me
We go searching for rest, yes
Come on and search with me
Oh, search with me
Woah, search with me
Come on and search with me
Woah woah, come on and search with me, oh
Come on and search with me
Come on and search with me, with me
Come on and search with me
Right, you wanna hear play back?
It's twelve o'clock in the mornin'
While everybody is sleepin'
I want him dead in my head lights
'Cause in the shadow he's creepin'
Drive on down to lonely street
He's always waiting there for me
Run down the Devil, run the Devil down
Run down the Devil, run him down, down, down
Run down the Devil, run the Devil down
Run down the Devil, run him down, down, down
I want to take him to the Mercury grill
I hope he's ready for the big blast
He'll be my ultimate road kill
I'll kick his future up his past
I'll send him back to hell, alright
The world can sleep in peace tonight
Run down the Devil, run the Devil down
Run down the Devil, run him down, down, down
Run down the Devil, run the Devil down
Run down the Devil, run him down, down, down
Everybody's gotta hold him down
Can't let Beelzebaby back in town
Run down the Devil, run the Devil down
Run down the Devil, run him down, down, down
Run down the Devil, run
Run down the Devil, run him down, down, down
Run down the Devil, run the Devil down
Run down the Devil, run him down, down, down
Run down the Devil, run
I had a date with a pretty ballerina
Her hair was so brilliant that it hurt my eyes
I asked her for this dance and then she obliged me
Was I surprised? Yeah, was I surprised? No not at all
I called her yesterday it should have been tomorrow
I couldn't keep the joy that was inside
I begged for her to tell me if she really loved me
Somewhere a mountain is moving, afraid it's moving without me
I had a date with a pretty ballerina
Her hair so brilliant that it hurt my eyes
I asked her for this dance and then she obliged me
Was I surprised? Yeah, was I surprised? No not at all
And when I wake up on a dreary Sunday morning
I open up my eyes to find there's rain
And something strange within said go ahead and find her
Just close your eyes, yeah, just close your eyes and she'll be there
She'll be there, she'll be there
She'll be there, she'll be there
She's there, she's there
Finally got a ride, some old broad down from Santa Fe
She was a real go-getter
She drawled so sweetly, 'I think, child, that things'll get better'
'Yes, I read the Bible', she said, 'I wannaknow of you'
We pulled off the highway, night black as a window
Hey, I think I've got a live one
Hey, I think I've got a live one, Yeah, Yeah
I think I've got a live one
Felt like I was hit by a dieselor a greyhound bus
She was no baby-sitter
'Get up, sugar, never thought you'd be a quitter'
I opened the back door, she was greedy
I ran through the desert, she was chasin
No time to get dressed ,so I was naked , stranded in Chihuahua
Alone raped and freezing
Alone cold and sneezing
Alone down in Mexico
Alone
Hey hey hey yeah hey hey hey
Me and G.B. we ain't never gonna confess we cheated at the math test
We carved some dirty words in our desk well now it's time for recess
Old man waitin' by the monkey bars tradin' all his ball cards
And they promised him a gold star and they told him he could go far
Hey Mr. Bluelegs where are you takin' me
I'm like a lifer in the state penitentiary
If I keep my nose clean I won't get my eyes shined
But I'm proud to be public animal number nine
License plates are are runnin' out of my ears
I'd give a month of cigarettes for just a couple of lousy beers
Or even a bottle of real cheap wine
But that's the price you pay to be
Public animal number nine number nine oh
Hey Mrs. Cranston where are you takin' me
I feel like a lifer In the state penitentiary
She wanted an Einstein but she got a Frankenstein
Yeah I'm proud to be oh public animal number nine
Oh public animal number nine public animal number nine
Public animal number nine nine
Public animal number nine number nine number nine
Public animal public animal number nine nine
Public animal number nine public animal number nine
Look upstanding with your head held high
You will be reflected
You look outstanding with your eyes in disguise
Just beyond your glasses
Holy, how he would keep, it's divine
I'm surely glad, I'm surely over town
And even though, I'm you will always here
Very rarely worry, almost constantly
Could you be receptive?
Our life's outstanding in a shower please
Wet my skins a plenty
Baby, what a day, I love our town
I'm surely glad, I'm surely all around
And even since I knew it's all so clear
You will be reflected
You will be reflected
Don't need a crystal ball
For me to see clearly
No astrology or Tarot cards
Watching CNN
And holding my breath
To face the day
Scares me to death
I'm pessimystic
I'm so fatalistic
I'm pessimystic
I don't believe a thing
I'm pessimystic
I'm so nihlistic
I'm pessimystic
For what tomorrow brings
I can't hear a word you say
So shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up
I like being sick this way
So shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up
Everybody's mind is badly infected
Everybody feeds the parasite
Everything is dark so why not accept it?
Everything is far more black than white
I'm pessimystic
I'm so fatalistic
I'm pessimystic
I don't believe a thing
I'm pessimystic
I'm so pissed-off-istic
I'm pessimystic
Of what tomorrow brings
I can't hear a word you say
So shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up
I like feeling sick this way
So shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up
Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up
Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up

So shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up
I like feeing sick this way
So shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up
Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up
She's an overnight sensation
In the mirror on her wall
She gets a standing ovation
At every shower curtain call
And she becomes a pop star
In the safety of her car
And then she falls to pieces
At the karaoke bar
And she's perfect
Until the lights go on
And then it all goes wrong
'Cause now she's not so perfect
She can shake it just like J-Lo
When the bedroom lights go down
But when she hits the dance floor
She's a hip-hop hippo clown
She's perfect
Until the lights go on
And then it all goes wrong
'Cause now she's not so perfect
She's so perfect
She's so fine
She's so wonderful
In the arena of her mind
She's not perfect, she's all mine
She can't sing or dance
She ain't got a chance
But, baby, I don't mind
She's perfect
Oh, she's perfect
Oh, she's so perfect
You know, she's so perfect
Oh, oh, oh
Sing, baby
Dance, dance, dance
You got it, shake it down
Oh, that's bad, that's bad
I love you, baby
That's just awful
I'm nuclear infected
I really don't mind
I just go out when the sun goes down
And have a real good time
I can clear out any ballgame
In a minute and a half
Just show up - glow up
And have a real good laugh
When I'm happy I glow yellow
When I'm sad I glow blue
And I glow red hot when I'm in bed with you
I'm nuclear infected
Really ain't that bad
In fact it's about the best time
I guess I ever had
I'm nuclear infected
Looking for a mate
So slip on something lead, babe
And go out on a date
When I'm happy I glow yellow
When I'm sad I glow blue, yeah
And I glow red hot when I'm in bed with you
Nuclear infected --- don't make me angry
Nuclear infected --- don't make shake
Nuclear infected --- don't get me to sneeze
Nuclear infected --- that's a big mistake
I want to live on Three Mile Island
Where things are clean and neat
'ause we don't have no health freaks
Clutterin up our streets
I'm nuclear infected, I need something to eat
A China Syndrome Salad with plutonium and cheese
When I'm happy I glow yellow
When I'm sad I glow blue
Anybody's dream can fall apart
Anybody's mask can break
Couldn't tell you how I wanted you
Enough to make you want to stay
I never said the words out loud
I guess I couldn't get'em straight
Baby, give me one more chance
Before you walk away
It's only, only, only my heart talkin'
Yeah, it's only, only, only my heart talkin'
Saying things I never thought I'd say
Can't you hear me knocking
Tried to fool you but it wouldn't play
Cuz my heart it's talkin', it's talkin'
Baby, it's talkin'
Talkin'to you
Every time I take it to the edge
Every time I'm so afraid
Don't you know I cry my eyes out, babe
Every time you look away
Oh, I almost dropped a tear
But I caught it just in time
I'd say the things you want to hear
If you'd help me, help me, help me try
It's only, only, only my heart talkin'
Yeah, it's only, only, only my heart talkin'
Saying things I never thought I'd say
Can't you hear me knockin'
Tried to fool you but it wouldn't play
Cuz my heart it's talkin', it's talkin'
Baby, it's talkin'
Talkin'to you
Well, I don't want to hide away
Hide away without you, baby
Don't you go and run away
Come on and help me, baby
Just a little help, baby
No time for tears
Stars don't have time to cry
No time for tears
He's just another guy
Who used your heart
But don't forget who you are
You're playing the part
The greatest movie star
Your soul aches
You think it's
The end of it all
But tears always dry
And all of us lie
That's all
Yeah, tears always dry
And all of us lie
That's all
Your soul aches
You cry out
You're weeping
You're while
But tears always dry
And all of us lie
Sometimes
Yeah, tears always dry
And all of us lie
Sometimes
But tears always dry
And all of us lie
Sometimes
Yeah, tears always dry
All of us lie
Sometimes
If I should find myself in blackest night
And fear is stabbin' me all over
A tiny prayer cracks the dark with light
And I here sounds behind my wall
Inside, a still small voice it calls and calls
Then like a thunder bolt it falls and falls
My God
When life becomes more real than children's games
Or we've become too old to play them
We'll grow old gracefully, we'll hide our shame
But there's that voice behind the wall
And like my conscience it is still and small
Each word is mercy, protects us all
My God
Et in lux perpetuo
Deu domine
Et in pax aeternus
Deu domine
I was a boy, when tempted fell sometimes
And fell so low, no one could see me
Save for the eyes of Him that sees my crime
When sheep like me have drifted, lost
All frightened children who are tempest, tossed
Sown flies His wrath like an albatross
Mr. and Misdemeanor, middle of the roaders
Set beside the ocean
Landscape's an' laws agoshin'
Who put all of this in motion
Lucky Luciano, Kenneth Pasarelli
You take the modern mosquito to every big city
I sit beside Misdemeanor
Here's new pretties for you
Nobody likes me, but we adore you
Da, da, da, da, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Nasty Misdemeanor kickin' in the windows
Parked beside the ocean
Landscape's an' laws agoshin'
Who put all of this in motion
Da, da, da, da, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
We've been so caught up in the subject of personnel
Playing and acting and slaving and bathing ourselves
Her lies and her tries to come over everyone
Painting a picture to show everyone in the world
Fearing is natural, new names and places can bring
Build ups and barriers hiding behind everything
Her lies and her tries to come over everyone
The man with the golden gun
Is waiting somewhere out there for you
But you'll never see him
He'll be looking for you
Demand for the golden gun
It's high priced, precise and true
But you'll never see him
He'll be looking for you
The man with the golden gun in his pocket, oh, oh
The man with the golden gun in his case, oh, oh
The man with the golden gun in your face
But you'll never see him
He'll be looking for you
You better believe

The man with the golden gun in his pocket
The man with the golden gun in your face
But you'll never see him
He'll be looking for you
You better believe
He'll be looking for you
He's, the man with the golden gun in his pocket
The man with the golden gun in his case
The man with the golden gun in his pocket
The man with the golden gun in your face
The man with the golden gun in his pocket
The man with the golden gun in his case
You're with your baby
And you're parked alone
On a summer night
You're deep in love
But you're deeper in the woods
You think you're doin' alright
Did you hear that voice
Did you see that face
Or was it just a dream
This can't be real
That only happens, babe
On the movie screen
Oh, but he's back
He's the man behind the mask
And he's out of control
He's back
The man behind the mask
And he crawled out of his hole
You're swimmin' with your girl
Out on lovers' lake
And the wind blows cold
It chills your bones
But you're still on the make
That's a bad mistake
But the moon was full
And you had a chance
To be all alone
But you're not alone
This is your last dance
And your last romance
Yeah, cause he's back
He's the man behind the mask
And he's out of control
He's back
The man behind the mask
And he crawled out of his hole
Oh, if you see him comin'
Get away if you can
Just keep on runnin'
Run as fast as you can
He's a dangerous, dangerous man
And he's out tonight
And he's watchin' you
And he knows your house
No, don't turn out the lights
Yeah, cause he's back
He's the man behind the mask
And he's out of control
He's back
The man behind the mask
And he's after your soul
He's back
He's the man behind the mask
And he's out of control
He's back
The man behind the mask
And he's after your soul
He's back
He's the man behind the mask
And he's out of control
He's back
The man behind the mask
And he's after your soul"
When I was a boy
I never played with toys
Never had a friend
Never laughed or cried much
And when I was a boy
My father was a man
With a strict and sturdy hand
No soft touch
Make that money, make that money
Make that money run like honey
On your tongue
Gotta make that money
Make that money, listen sonny
Learn to sting before your stung
Now that I'm a man
Every penny has been planned
I'm financially grand
And perfectly greedy
Sentimental fools
I make all your rules
I've got your cash, got your jewels
They're all mortgaged to me
Make that money, make that money
Make that money run like honey
On your tongue
Gotta make that money
Make that money, listen sonny
Learn to sting before your stung
And I know
'Cause he told me so
Told me so I believe him
I still believe...
Give me that money
Controlling all your cash
I could make you live in trash
I eat pheasant, you eat hash
No philanthropy
But when it's time for me to croak
Bury me with all my dough
And where there should've been an oak
My private money tree will grow
Make that money
Said make that money
Make that money run like honey
On your tongue
Told me so
Told me so
He told me so
Let me be
What a way for one too realize
Gotta waste a bore, now I see
How he is so happy feeling sad
Heavily depressed
God, I knew
Think I will enjoy the view
Oy the view, oy the view
I got my invitation to the annual levity ball
Seeing the location is within the mirrored room
Walking in my room I found I had nothing to find
I got into my evening wear and left my clothes behind
I sat down at the stairway seven hours at a time
Writing all of this poetry that I knewq would never rhyme
The memory I know I must have had when I came in
Was of some place I'd never ever been
And then in came a cake all decorated in my name
With four paper brown candles are all spelling out this name
The clock was passing out from time to time
I saw it all at the beginning of the ending of my first levity ball
Living is only one part of being
Believing is to know just what you're feeling
You weren't supposed to think you know
You heard
I'm sure that in knowing you're growing and it's you
Thinking is your own world to live in
Dreaming is the one way to feeling
Your mind and your eye can see everything that you
The only real person you need to know is you
Living
Living
I got my invitation to the annual Levity Ball
Seeing the location was within my mirrored hall
Walking in my room I found that I had nothing to find
I got into my evening wear and left my clothes behind
I sat down on the stairway seven hours at a time
Writing all of this poetry that I knew would never rhyme
The memory I knew, I must have had when I came in
Was of some varied places where I'd never ever been
Then in came a cake all decorated in my name
With four paper brown candles, all spelling out the same
The clock was passing out from time to time, I saw it all
What did I do to deserve such a fate
I didn't really want to get
Involved in this thing
Someone handed me this gun and I
I gave it everything
Yeah, I gave it everything
I came into this life
Looked all around
I saw just what I liked
And took what I found
Nothing came easy
Nothing came free
Nothing came all until they
Came after me
Yeah-hey, yeah
(Whispering)
I didn't really want to get
Involved in this thing
Someone handed me this gun and I
I gave it everything
If it's laughing you need
Then it's laughing indeed
And it's laughing at me
Yes, it's laughing at me
So I started to end
The beginning to end
Then I ended the end
Yes, I ended the end
And it's laughing
Hey teacher, what are you trying to do?
I'm getting tired of livin' in this zoo
You slap me in the face and you knock me down
You beat my head right in to the ground
I've never felt this way before
I can't take it no more
So give the radio back
Yeah, give the radio back
Give the radio back to the maniacs
Well, there's a party going on outside
All my friends got ya terrified
Don't call no cops or the state police
Don't break up this blown out symphony
You think I'm wasting all my precious time
You say my music outta be a crime
Well, give the radio back
Give the radio back
Yeah, give the radio back to the maniacs
To the maniacs
I never ever felt this way before
Ain't gonna take it no more
Yeah, give the radio
Give the radio back
Give the radio back to the maniacs
To the maniacs
Yeah, give the radio to the maniacs
Give the radio to the maniacs
Give it, give it, give the radio
To the maniacs
It's hot tonight
Too hot for talking
It's hot tonight
I sweat tonight
I sweat no sleeping
It's too hot tonight
Dogs are barking
Cats are screaming
Streets are steaming
Gods own heats the devil' demon
My turn tonight
To burn with fever
I burn tonight
I smoke tonight
I'm all on fire
It's damn hot tonight
Summer nights they
Make me crazy
Make me all hazy
It's hot tonight
It's too hot for talking
It's hot tonight
I sweat tonight
I sweat no sleeping
It's too hot tonight
Dogs are barking
Cats are screaming
Streets are steaming
You took a first-class trip to Paris
You danced in the streets of Spain
You followed the sun to Rio de Janeiro
Cuz you got so sick and tired of the London rain
But honey, late at night
When you close your tires eyes
You'll be there
And I'll be here
And one of us will cry
It's me, it's me
When you need something more
Something you're dying for
It's me, it's me
When you can't see too clear
Baby, I'm always near
It's me
You played your cards, you felt the sorrow
Cuz all that dealer dealt was pain
But baby, where you gonna play tomorrow
The stakes were too damn high
And now, you're broke again
You can trip around till all your
money's blown
But who's the man that'll take you in
When all your luck is gone
It's me, it's me
What are you searching for
I know you can find my door
It's me, it's me
I know you've sinned every sin
But I'll still take you in
It's me
And me I'm sitting here
Nothing much has changed
You broke my heart to pieces babe
But that's nothing strange
Well, I ain't angry
That's all come and gone
My arms are still open wide girl
To catch you when you fall
And if someday you realize
Just where you belong
I'm the man that'll take you in
When all your luck's gone
It's me, it's me
When you need something more
Something you're dying for
It's me, it's me
When you can't see too clear
Baby, I'm always near
It's me, it's me
What are you searching for
I know you can find my door
It's me, it's me
I know you've sinned every sin
But I'll still take you in
It's me
What have I got
that makes you want to love me
Is it my body
or someone I might be
or somethin' inside me
You better tell me
Tell me
It's really up to you
Have you got the time to find out
Who I really am
What does it take
to get inside of your mind
Give me a break
and take a chance for the very first time
You better tell me
Tell me
It's really up to you
Have you got the time to find out
Who I really am-aaamm
What have I got
that makes you want to love me
Now is it my body
or someone I might be
or somethin' in side me
You better tell me
Tell me
It's really up to you
Have you got the time to find out
I'm so angry, I'm so angry
Something that you said burnin' in my head
I'm so angry, I'm so angry
Everything you do makes me furious with you
It's like a poison to me
It's like you put me in shock
You stick a needle in me
Every time that you talk
I'm so angry, I'm so stupid
Everything you say, I believe it anyway
I'm so stupid, I'm so angry
Running after you, that's what I gotta do
It's like a poison to me
It's like you put me in shock
You stick a needle in me
Every time that you talk
Is there any one at all, any one you didn't call
Is there any one you didn't deny
Is there any one you missed, any one you didn't kiss
Is there any law you didn't defy
I'm so crazy, I'm so crazy
I used to be so cool, now I'm just your little fool
I'm so crazy, I'm so crazy
Talking in my sleep like a scary little creep
It's like a poison to me
It's like you put me in shock
You stick a needle in me
Every time that you talk
Is there any one at all, anyone you didn't call
Is there any one you didn't deny
Is there any one you missed, anyone you didn't kiss
Is there any law you didn't defy
I'm so angry, I'm so angry
Always chewing nails, it never ever fails
I'm so angry, I'm so angry
Better hide my knife, better run for your life
So angry, I'm so angry
I'm so angry, angry, angry, angry, angry
Well, I've written home to mother
The ink ran from my tears
I said, "Momma, oh, momma, oh, please
Touched by thoughts
as cold as ice
Like some bathroom floor
No love can be worth this price
Still I ask for more
Endless days and restless nights
And forgotten scenes
Hopelessly I tried to find
Escape from this deam
Baby I miss you
When are you coming home
No matter where you are
I hate being alone
Love is sweet
And bitter too
The taste can leave cold
You know I hate it
But I cannot refuse to capture control
How it seems
There's no way out
I guess I never knew
Emptiness has left no doubt
Now I want you
Baby I miss you
When are you coming home
No matter where you are
I hate being alone
Baby I miss you
When are you coming home
No matter where you are
I hate being alone
Baby I miss you
When are you coming home
You've been gone for so long
Baby I miss you
When are you coming home
My tape recorder, it must be lying
cause this I just can't believe
I hear a voice that's crying
that's not me
The wheel goes round
I hear a sound
It's coming out all wrong
And I swear to you, I never wrote that song
I been living in my own shell so long
The only place I ever feel at home
And oh, that music
I hate those lyrics
It stayed inside me so long
And I swear to you I never wrote that song
But pardon me
I'm not looking for sympathy
Not sympathy
I'm just thinking out loud
The melody
it goes nowhere pointlessly
Silence please
I been living in my own shell so long
the only place I ever feel at home
And oh, that music
I hate those lyrics
It stayed inside me so long
At the end of the rainbow there's happiness
And to find it how often I've tried
But my life is a race
Just a wild goose chase
And my dreams have all been denied
Why have I always been a failure
What can the reason be
I wonder if the world's to blame
I wonder if it could be me
I'm always chasing rainbows, watching clouds drifting by
My schemes are just like all my dreams
Ending in the sky
Some fellows look and find the sunshine
I always look and find the rain
And some fellows make a winning sometime
And I never even make a gain
