My first sip made me gag
And I thought I was gonna blow beets
But I took another and pretty soon brother
Sour man started tasting sweet
Made me feel brave and strong
Bulletproof, like I could do no wrong
But I found out before too long
What I should've known
You can learn to love anything
Even a bird in a cage will sing a song
Even it's wrong
Even if it kills you in the end
You can learn to love anything
Trade your heart and soul for a ball and chain
Anything can bring you pleasure, even pain
Pick your poison
Poison
Pick your poison
Ruby lips hid a razor tongue
And heart, blue as glacier ice
I was warned, but I was willing
To ignore everybody's advice
The more I gave, the more she took
She walked away without a second look
Just one more page from the great big book
On how
You can learn to love anything
Even a bird in a cage will sing a song
Even if it's wrong
Even if it kills you in the end
You can learn to love anything
Trade your heart and soul for a ball and chain
Anything can bring you pleasure, even pain
You can learn to love anything
A prison wall, a ball and chain
Anything can bring you pleasure, even pain
Pick your poison
Poison
(You can learn)
Pick your poison
Pick your poison
(You can learn)
Pick your poison
Poison
Poison
Pick your poison
Your a cruel device
Your blood, like ice
One look, could kill
My pain, your thrill
I wanna love you but I better not touch
(Don't touch)
I wanna hold you, but my senses tell me to stop
I wanna kiss you but I want it too much
(Too much)
I wanna taste you but your lips are venomous poison
You're poison running through my veins
You're poison I don't wanna break these chains
Your mouth, so hot
Your web, I'm caught
Your skin, so wet
Black lace, on sweat
I hear you calling and it's needles and pins
(And pins)
I wanna hurt you just to hear you screaming my name
Don't wanna touch you but you're under my skin
(Deep in)
I wanna kiss you but your lips are venomous poison
You're poison running through my veins
You're poison I don't wanna break these chains, poison
One look
(One look)
Could kill
(Could kill)
My pain, your thrill
I wanna love you but I better not touch
(Don't touch)
I wanna hold you, but my senses tell me to stop
I wanna kiss you but I want it too much
(Too much)
I wanna taste you but your lips are venomous poison
You're poison running through my veins
You're poison I don't wanna break these chains, poison
(Poison)
I wanna love you but I better not touch
(Don't touch)
I wanna hold you, but my senses tell me to stop
I wanna kiss you but I want it too much
(Too much)
I wanna taste you but your lips are venomous poison
Yeah, well I don't wanna break these chains, poison
(Poison)
Runnin' deep inside my veins
Burnin' deep inside my brain, poison
(Poison)
I don't wanna break these chains
(Poison)
(Poison)
Poison
Help me
I'm in disgrace
Witness slow death
All over my face
Help me
Pick up my heart
Tell my friends
Wherever they are
Listen
They stole my dream
New corruption
Know what I mean?
Listen
Do you think I don't know?
I've got a face like metal
And a radio
Listen up
Listen up good
New man's fame
Is new man's poison
Stand up
Stand up and fight
Stand up I won't quit so
Stand up and play
Stand up
Stand up and scream
Stand up I won't run so
Stand up and lose
Listen up
Listen up good
Innocence
Is new corruption
Memories?
I don't need
A dead museum
And a grudge to feed
Memories
Rewrite shame
Rearrange the feelings
To ease your pain
Big lie
So this is the word
A needle in the back
And my voice unheard
Big lie
So this is the news
Radio lost
And I've nothing to lose
Nu voice
Said this is insane
I'm trying to learn the rhythm
Of the rule change game
Nu voice
I'm a clock with no hands
Someone said forgive them
I don't know if I can
Tell me
What did I do?
You'd think I'd sold perversion
To the son of God (Who?)
Tell me
What did I say?
I don't believe that honesty
Pays
Listen up
Listen up good
New man's fame
Is new man's poison
Listen up
Listen up good
Innocence
Is new corruption
POISON
(MC5)
The partisans not the artisans
Are doing their dirty show
But i ripped my pants
Doing some dance
That i learned in France
And they think there ain't
nothin' to know
Used, abused
Locked up, beaten and fined
But i got free
Copped a plea
And i can see
That there ain't no freedom
bell gonna chime
This time
Truth and love
are my law and worship
Form and conscience
my manifestation and guide
Nature and peace are
my shelter and companion
Order is my attitude
Beauty and perfection
Are my attack
False faces
Fast company
A night of thrills
With no jealousy, no poison
Nobody's tool
Will be a public fool
To manipulate the masses
Who lie and cheat
And eat their meat
And think it's sweet
While the rest all clean their glasses
People tell me you didn't know better,
Give me sermons 'bout the things I do,
Come to love 'em, even wrote letters,
You know I even asked it of you, I said,
I've been doing Poison,
I guess I poisoned my life,
I've been doing Poison,
it's better than marrying your wife
On the road, the pace is getting frantic,
Specially when your poisoned out your mind,
A flight of stairs is like swimming the Atlantic,
When you're poisoned, deaf, dumb and blind,
I take my poison,
I guess I poisoned my life,
Been doing Poison,
I wish I'd Poisoned my wife
My Father, he used to be a Preacher,
Never taught me nothing but scorn,
If I ever catch him on the street, yeah,
I'll make him wish he'd never been born,
He was Poison,
Guess he poisoned my life
He was Poison,
I wish my mother wasn't his wife, no!
Come taste a century of hatred
Free from the sanity of them
Is there something, that you see in all of them
Non-believer, a time will come, but when?
All you worship in life, destroyed by human hands,
Spare the trouble you feel, save a breath for your next
Spit on the laws that I made for you
Betray the treasures within hearts
Is there something in death that you think reflects your life?
Come taste the loss that I feel, challenge paradise
All you worship in life, destroyed by human hands,
Save the trouble you feel, a treasure with no price
Your love is infectious,
Your rotten to the core,
Every body knows what you got,
But they still come back for more,
Your everybodys favourite,
You give them all a good time,
Your loves a total disaster,
But when they sign the dotted line they're,
Poisoned
One night with you and you've got me,
Poisoned,
Making love with the devils daughter,
Poisoned,
One night with you and you've got me,
Poisoned,
That dirty little bitch has got me,
Poisoned.
Sitting close beside me,
Hand upon my zip,
Don't bother to take it down, honey,
It's about to rip,
She's mammy's little virgin,
Her daddy's all in pride,
But she welcomed me with opened legs,
Kept me satisfied.
Tell me that you love me,
Say you'll never leave,
The more I give the more you take,
The more that you receive,
I got you down beneath me,
Open wide (ha ha),
I'm gonna make you pay for all,
Like Chancre's
Canterbury tales
When three men find a pot of gold
and end up killing one another in the name of greed
Some people are poison
Under my skin like opium
And I'll stare in their eye to annoy them
Yeah there poison
Admissions of liabilities
I'm living in my own private cold war
In a room full of spies and I cannot find the door
Some people are poison
Under my skin like opium
And I'll stare in their eye to annoy them
Yeah there poison
The violent aspects of a tattered man
Let me respond to that if i can
Illuminated Manuscripts written by hand
Accusations have been made form the very beginning
Some people are poison
Under my skin like opium
And I'll stare in their eye to annoy them
I could waste away with politics,
or drown myself with wine.
Confine myself to solitude,
and inject poison into my mind.
Meanwhile outside, everything still grows,
Wild like fire and fury, while I wish alone.
You know that I could feel the poison in my mind.
You know that I could feel the venom deep inside.
I feel like I am in an endless night,
like i am falling through the restless sky.
You can't erase them.
Every lie you've told.
For then they'd leave you,
and haunt you nevermore.
I could find myself in paradise.
Walk on endless shores.
Cut my feet so drastically before I beg for more.
Meanwhile, in front of me, under every stone,
lies a thousand reasons with a thousand rhymes.
You can't erase them.
Every lie you've told.
For then they'd leave you,
and haunt you nevermore.
You can't erase them.
Every lie you've told.
For then they'd leave you,
She's got a look that knocking you down
Her husband is so angry kicks her in the teeth
He want to kill, he wants to poison
Poison - he's a maniac
Poison poison
Fuckin' little worms are creeping in her face
The man gets crazy and he must kick her down
(Repeat 2nd verse)
Smash the axe into her fuckin' ugly face
The blood is running out of her eyes
Now that you've been bought and sold
You don't have time to fix the mess you're in
And if I may be so bold
I bet you couldn't even do it again
Bridge
Lying like yesterday's paper outside the door
Chorus:
Now you need me to clean your shoes
Walk on water be in the mood
Everybody's talking but nobody knows
Where did the emperor get them new clothes
I always did look up to you
Tried to copy everything that you did
Until you broke my heart in two
You shot me up then you flipped your lid
Bridge
She'll slide you in, you taste the sin
She slowly gets inside your head
You feel her take control
And she'll steal your soul
She's the devil lying in your bed
She's the Lord of your things
And it's no surprise
You're playing with a loaded gun
She's a killer queen
And she'll lick you clean
Then she'll spit you out
When she's done
{Chorus}:
Devil woman, evil woman
She'll make you believe
LA woman, she's my woman
Brings out the devil in me
She got blood-red lips and head trips
Leave a poor boy beggin' for more
When you get that itch
Ain't love a bitch
Now you need her just a little more
She's a soul taker, a ball breaker
And boy she's gonna break you
She's gonna steal your heart
Steal your money
Laugh at you when she's through
{Chorus} [3x]
Well, the way she'll do you
Things you ain't never seen
When you're sitting there in your silk upholstered chair
Talking to those rich folks that you know
Well I hope you won't see me in my ragged company
You know that I could never be alone
Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the queen of the underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flower by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
Well when you're sitting back in your pink rose Cadillac
Making bets on Kentucky Derby Days
I'll be in my basement room with a needle and a spoon
And another girl can take my pain away
Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the queen of the underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flower by US mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the queen of the underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flower by the US mail
Send me dead flowers at my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
I've got no worries
I've got no regrets
Who they think they're kidding
They ain't seen nothing yet
You point my finger try to tell me I'm wrong
That never stopped me from singin' my song
I got the last laugh at the things they do
Eliminate them at the turn of a screw
I never lived by nobody's rules
I won't be sinking on that ship of fools
Can't push me no matter how hard they try
Stand back, it's my turn to fly
Chorus:
Come hell, hell or high water
Nothing's gonna hold me down
Come hell, hell or high water
Ain't no body messin' me around
I see their wicked ways
And miles of endless lies
Their jaded lives
Couldn't erase my smile
But what's this shit that I just heard
Son of a bitch you're working on my nerves
I'll watch you choke on your last words
It's about time you got what you deserved
I never lived by nobody's rules
I won't be sinking on that ship of fools
Can't push me no matter how hard they try
Stand back, it's my turn to fly
Chorus
I've got something that's been on my mind
Come close I'll tell you the problem that I find
I'm sick and tired of the damage you've done
Don't blame me I ain't the one
Blame yourself for the ghosts in your past
There's an alley cat slowly walkin' down a dirty street
Watching a cop on the take marching to his city beat
You got five fingers Johnny stealing everything in sight
You gotta be bad to be good in the dead of the night
Wowowow, kick it
You're dancing in fire, baby
When you're takin' it to the streets
Yeah to the streets
Better watch your back baby
Fast on your feet
Cause they're wheelin' dealin'
Cheatin' stealin'
Child you're gonna learn
Chorus:
You gotta be bad to be good
If you know what I'm talkin' about
What's that
So I say it again
You gotta be bad to be good
In the dead of the night
When you got nothin' baby
You got nothin' to lose, nothin' to lose
It's an eye for an eye baby
And a tooth for a tooth, ain't it the truth
If you got nine lives you might survive
Cause nothing's free on the other side
Bad to be good
If you know what I'm talkin' about
What's that
So I say it again
You gotta be bad to be good
In the dead of the night
Wheelin' dealin' cheatin' stealin'
Just to stay alive
They got love for sale, yes for sale
On the New York subway line
Watch the working girls hanging out
Turning tricks underneath the lights,
Oh the lights
One step from hell
The poor men sell their soul
For a taste of wine
Chorus
When it's said and done
And you're on the run
Like this
All the king's horses
And all the king's men
Ain't got a hope in hell
Of puttin' my pieces back together again
I've seen things in my life that should never be seen
I'm talkin' things that'd make your skin crawl
I just wanna go back to a simpler time
Where nothin' really mattered at all
You see, I can't sleep all night long
Tossin' and a-turnin'
Thoughts they keep a-churnin'
I can't sleep all night long
As a matter of fact
I just wanna get back
Chorus
Back to the rockin' horse
Back to where it all began
Take me back-back to the rockin' horse
And start all over again
My parents think I'm crazy
And the doctor says I cracked
But they don't understand me
Cause I just wanna get back
You see I can't sleep all night long
Tossin' and a-turnin
Thoughts they keep a-churnin'
I can't sleep all night long
As a matter of fact
I just wanna get back
Chorus
Dick meets jane and a fire starts
Jane leaves dick and it breaks his heart
Dick asked jane, "why'd you leave me? "
"cause you're not dangerous, rough or sleazy"
Now dick's dangerous
Now dick's rough
Now dick's sleazy
Nice guy dick don't live here anymore
Dick bought a swanky love pad down by the shore
Chorus
He's going prime time
Online
All the girls come around to get dick
They all adore him now 'cause he acts like a prick
Each one tries to tie dick down
Dick never falls in love, on the girls start coming 'round
Dick don't fall for their sweetness
He knows their weakness
Dick knows a secret
Secret is dick leased himself a nice car
Girls like car
Girls like dick
Dick scores
Chorus
Solo
Suddenly jane wants back in dick's life
'cause jane hears dick's a popular guy
Jane looks good, dick takes her home
Dick kicks hers out after he gets his bone
Now jane wants him
Now jane needs him
Now jane loves him
Jane loves dick now that she got the heave ho
Jane got what she wanted
Dick ain't a nice guy no more

Saturday night rainbow bar and grill
Where there's cocaine lines and a little white pill
A beer and a gin, now I can't see straight
Slip it in, no glove, oops, too late
I remember her face but forgot her name
She forgot mine too ain't that a shame
Smelled like reefer and my hairs in a mess
I left my love running down her dress
Dave from Drowning Pool is here
Steals my women and he drinks my beer
Buys me a pizza and a shot of Jim beam
And ask, "Who the fuck is Angeline?"
I to to piss the parking lot
Well, I get in a fight but I don't get caught
Hell, no problem 'cuz the night's still young
I wan a little more gonna get ya some
I want to go
I want to go home now
I want to go
I want to go home now
(CC, let's go)
Rock stars movie stars a Hollywood scene
I eat dinner with Nick Cage and Charlie Sheen
Nick asks me, "What the hell unskinny bop means?"
It's slang for CC banging a porno queen
Mario, Michael, tony and steady
RV won't you get table six ready?
My platinum records hang all around
M-m-mama's got a squeeze box
She wears on her chest
Daddy come home
He never get no rest
'Cause she's playing all night
And the music's alright
Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night
Well, the kid won't eat
And the dog won't sleep
No escape from the music
On the whole damn street
'Cause she's playing all night
And the music's alright
Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night
She goes in and out and in and out
And in and out and in and out
'Cause she's playing all night
And the music's alright
Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night
She goes, "Squeeze me
Come on and squeeze me
Come on and tease me like you do
I'm so in love with you"
Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night
She goes in and out and in and out
And in and out and in and out
'Cause she's playing all night
And the music's all right
Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night
'Cause she's playing all night
And the music's alright
Mama's got a squeeze box
Alone on my steel horse i ride
The engine echoes in the night
Through a congrete jungle a wasteland i call home
No fears and no regrets
No apologies for the things i've said
And believe me child it's the life i've known
Chorus
I will ride on through the night
From this hell i will survive
It's all i've done it's who i am
Just know this
I've done the best i can
I see fallen angels and broken dreams
I still surviving on these streets
Like forgotten soldiers left here to die
All your pain i understand
Give me your love you take my hand
And from this wasteland we will ride
Chorus (2)
We will ride on through the night
From this hell we will survive
Give me your faith give me your hand
hit the highway
Touch life barely sixteen
No angel of mercy
Coming down to save the soul of me
I took a greyhound limousine
Straight to grand central nyc
It was ass, gas, or grass, living fast
Nobody rides for free
Chorus:
Living it up, giving it up
Living in the valley of lost souls
Wanting it all, taking the fall
Living in the valley of lost souls
Miss misery come ride me
How I love her company
She did boston justice
And wronged all the right out of me
The devil wears a black suit
He says I'm livin' like a bum
So what I'm looking like I'm half dead
A gypsy on the run
Chorus
Feels like time's running out on me
But I wasn't born to play nobody's fool
Ain't nobody gonna hold me down to play nobody's fool
Ain't nobody gonna hold me down
I've gotta roll, roll, roll, roll, roll, roll
Solo
Well I'm sitting here this evening
I've got some old friends on my mind, yeah I do
Yeah, me and slick and davy saluting mr. daniels
For the very first time
We was jamming to old jimi, singing purple haze,
No doubt, no, no
I think between weed and whiskey
My head went north and man, my feet went south
We had some good times,
And man do I remember them well
Those days are long gone,
But now I got to tell you just how we left some stories to tell
Chorus:
Ride, child ride
Hell we had some good times then
Ride, child, ride
Sometimes I need those times again
Do you remember when?
Remember all our big talk,
How we were going to be president, one day, baby
How we were going to save the whole world
But man, I got to tell you lord,
Didn't have a clue back then
We had some good times,
And man do I remember them well
Those days are long gone,
But now I got to tell you just how we left some stories to tell
Chorus
Ride, child, ride
Hell, we had some good times then
Ride, child ride
Sometimes I need those times again
Ride, child ride
Hell, we had some good times then
Ride, child, ride

Now Listen
Not a dime, I can't pay my rent
I can barely make it through the week
Saturday night I'd like to make my girl
But right now I can't make ends meet
I'm always workin' slavin' every day
Gotta get away from that same old same old
I need a chance just to get away
If you could hear me think this is what I'd say
Chorus:
Don't need nothin' but a good time
How can I resist
Ain't lookin' for nothin' but a good time
And it don't get better than this
They say I spend my money on women and wine
But I couldn't tell you where I spent last night
I'm really sorry about the shape I'm in
I just like my fun every now and then
I'm always workin' slavin' every day
Gotta get away from that same old same old
I need a chance just to get away
If you could hear me think this is what I'd say
Chorus
You see I raise a toast to all of us
Who are breakin' our backs every day
If wantin' the good life is such a crime
Lord, then put me away
Here's to ya
Solo
Chorus (3x's)
[Instrumental]
Did you ever get up on the wrong side of bed
With an achin' head and just fall apart?
You're running late, the boss is bitchin',
It's cold outside, and the car won't start
Well I don't mean to bitch I swear
Cause we all got our cross to bear
Chorus:
But when I hear the music
All my troubles just fade away
When I hear the music
Let it play, let it play
When I hear the music
Sure as darkness I can see the day
When I hear the music
Let it play
Let it play
Life's just rented space getting laid to waste
When the lines on my face say I'm growing older
Just a stitch in time gonna save my mind
When the weight of the world lies on my shoulders
Soon I won't have a place to fit
Rikki Rockett solo; no lyrics
Now that you've been bought and sold
you don't got time to fix the mess your in
and if I may be so bold
I bet you couldn't even do it again.
Lying like yesterday's paper
just outside your door
Chorus:
Now you need me to clean your shoes
walk on water be in the mood
everybody's talking but nobody knows
Where did the emporer get them new clothes
I always did look up to you
I tried to copy everything that you did
until you broke my heart in two
you shot me up and then you flipped your lid
Lying like yessterdays paper
just outside your door
Repeat Chorus
Come on, come on
Get on your dress and put on a smile
Lets lose this place
and get out awhile, awhile, awhile
You don't need nothin' fancy
Just a whole lot of attitude
I'll be your man now baby
If you're doing what I want you to do
I keep on tellin' ya
Chorus:
She's my ball and chain
My lock and key
And I'm liking it baby
She's my ball and chain
My lock and key
And I'm liking it good
I'll t-t-t-tell ya
Momma always said
There was plenty of fish in the sea
So I baited my hook but good
And caught one for me, just for me
She'll set you up with her body
And then knock you out with charm
She's just a little too nasty baby
But that never did me no harm, no
I keep on telling ya
Chorus
And she'll always be wrapped tight around me
I t-t-t-tell ya
What you heard about me
Was probably right
I'm the boy next door
The one you were warned about
Oh yes, indeed
Well, I'm no upstanding citizen
but I'm standing up just the same
Chorus:
Number one bad boy
who's to blame
Number one bad boy
Ain't that a shame
Yeah, right
All my friends are two faced
And I'm a social disgrace
I got no morals
Don't belong in the rat race
Well, I'm no upstanding citizen
but I'm standing up just the same
Into a lonely world
Where I'm lost without a trace
Two faced
rat race
disgrace
Will I stand up on my own?
Will I fall on my face?
First verse, pre-chorus, chorus out
My friend called just the other day
Packed it up he won't be back this way
It's not your heart but the spirit they break
There's only so much a small town boy can take
See the eyes of the countless masses
Drinking life from the empty glasses
Chorus:
No more victims
No more lies
Ne sheer heart attacks
No more empty promises
No more lookin' back
I came here loaded searching for the dream
But nothing is ever easy as it seems
I thought I got closer to it every day
But every day it just got so far away
See all the faces paled
Shot to hell when the system failed
Chorus
I thought I could take all the shit in grind
And stand much more pain
But see all those dead end wishes
Eats away at the brain
Solo, chorus

Southern California, are you ready?
From the gutters of Hollywood, California
Will you welcome

POISON!!!!
CC DeVille solo, no lyrics
I was heading down the highway
She's going my way
She climbed in, the next thing I knew
We started laughing and smoking,
We got to talking
Yeah, we'd both been hurt a time or two
I knew she didn't love me
But I didn't think she'd want me, no
Right there she took me
Underneath that sun, we became one
She said
Life's a little strange
We all need a little strange sometimes
I'm a little strange
A lot like you....
(let's ride)
Halfway to boston
She turned down the radio
Asked what I was looking for
Then I looked in her eyes,
For the first time I realized
I really didn't know anymore
Sometimes I think I want true love
Most times I feel like there's no one
But in the meantime hold me tight
Things will be alright
I said...
Life's a little strange
We all need a little strange sometimes
I'm a little strange
A lot like you....
(let's ride)
Solo
I pulled along the highway
The time had come to go our way
She took my hand, looked into my eyes
And said "won't you hold me one more time"
She said....
Life's a little strange
We all need a little strange sometimes
I'm a little strange a lot
In one ear and out the other
Told myself this girl is trouble, yeah
Everyone that looks at her
Is tragically struck in love
Bridge
Wait a minute...
This chick's got me addicted
I hate her so even though I wish she was my girl
Chorus:
I hate every bone in your body but mine
I can't wait till I can hate you tonight
Never thought I'd understand
But she's too good just for one man, yeah
Round and round and round she goes;
Who she's with don't wanna know
Bridge, chorus 2x's, solo
In one ear and out the other
Told myself this girl is trouble
Round and round and round she goes
And who she's with don't wanna know
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Love On the Rocks
She goes down slow like a shot of gin
She's got an angel's face and the devil's grin
She kinda stared me down as I looked her up
She said "I'm your poison, now you drink a cup."
In the heat of the night is when she comes alive
She's gonna push you push you til she's satisfied
I watch the ice melt fast on her red hot lips
She whispers "If you wanna taste my love why don't you swallow this."
CHORUS:
Love on the rocks
Love on the rocks
She's my shot
Love on the rocks
Ooooh lick it up
She gets so damn close you can feel her breathe
Just the way she moves, soft and slippery
She lives just around the corner, just down the street
All night we played the horizontal bop right between the sheets
Love on the rocks
Love on the rocks
She's my shot
Lately I can tell that something ain't right
I don't see the fire when I look in your eyes
One time up, and the next time down
This may be the last time that you see me around, said
Well it sure seems to me nothing matters tonight
And all those things we worked out, they got lost in the fight
It's not enough, girl, that I gave you my soul
I just want to know if we've got anything left at all, and I say
Chorus:
Hold on now, baby.
This could be the last time we stand
This could be the last time that we say good-bye
The picture shatters
I can't find the words to save it
Tell me what to do, how can I make it right
We will always be fire and ice
Well promises made in the heat of the night
You could sure spit them out, girl, but they've long passed me by
Nobody knows about the show you put me through
This could be the last time that I get through to you
Chorus
Well I can't stand to see no more damage done
But you'll never understand until you suffer some, and I said....
Chorus
Now pardon my personal demons, child but if you do insist
Sit down and listen to me story awhile, cause it goes something like this
The joint was small but we were having a ball
At a place called the Blue Duck Inn
When I couldn't help but notice her
My future wife walked in
I needed me a dose of her, so I got a little closer
And this is what she said
My old man stands about six foot five
And if he catches you, you're dead
Now I don't need none of that
giving me the blues
The old man sitting next to me said
Son, let me tell you
Chorus:
Life, you just can't fake it
Love, you gotta make it
Time, you better take it
Lord, ain't that the truth
Hear me out
Your heart will surely feel it
Women come and steal it
Time can only heal it
Lord, ain't that the truth
I save Friday night for the ladies
Saturday night for my gin
Come Sunday morning, I'm asking the good Lord
To forgive me for my sins
Lately my heave-ho get-up-and-go
Wouldn't get me out of bed
I felt like some big wrecking ball
Done hit upside my head
Now I don't need a preacher man
Telling me how to run my life
Until an angel sitting next to me
said son, heed my advice. She said
Repeat chorus
You better get your story straight
What comes around goes around
All my friends have someone
I want someone to
Someone to hold the whole night through
I need a lover
some on like you
Someone to make my dreams come true
Maybe if I close my eyes
everything will be alright
cause I don't want to be alone
No more, baby
Chorus:
I want some
I need some
anybody, somebody
Someone custom built for me
I want some
I need some
Whole lotta lover satisfaction guaranteed
I wake in the morning
and wrap my arms around no one
but tht no one
could be someone meant for me
So I jump out of my bed
and throw my hands on my head
and scream I need a lover just for me
Maybe if I close me eyes
everything will be alright
causee I dont want to be alone
No more, baby
Chorus:
lead
She's got pizazz
like a razamaaz
I'd like to slide it in
but where do I begin
Wastes all my money
spends all my money
I ain't got no luck
can't change her mind
Chorus:
Blame it on you
I can't stand up
Blame it on you
I'm keeping my mouth shut
Blame it on you
I can't see straight
Blame it on you
Uh-ohhh, too late
I want a little reaction
how 'bout a kiss ot two?
She said "jump back honey,"
I said "no can do"
Why do you always make a fool out of me?
I can't get no nookie
justa plain to see
Pre-chorus:
Wastes all my money
spends all my time
I ain't got no luck
can't change her mind
Chorus 2:
Blame it on you
I can't get no sleep
Blame it on you
I'm in six feet deep
Blame it on you
well, I guess it's true
Blame it on you
Yes, I do
I blame this whole damn mess, honey
right on you
Pre-chorus:
Now listen little girl, let me explain
Why you got me in such a terrible way
First verse:
Pre-chorus:
She stepped off the bus
out into the city streets
Just a small town girl
with her whole life
packed in a suitcase by her feet
But somehow the lights didn't
shine as bright as they did
on her mama's TV screen
And the work seemed harder
And the days seemed longer
than she ever thought they'd be
But you know you got
to stick to your guns
when it all comes down
'Cause sometimes you can't choose
It's like heads they win
tails you're gonna lose
(chorus)
Win big, Mama's fallen angel
Lose big, livin' out her lies
Wants it all, Mama's fallen angel
Lose it all, rollin'
the dice of her life
Now she found herself in the
fast lane livin' day to day
Turned her back on her
best friends, yeah
And let her family slip away
Just like a lost soul
caught up in the Hollywood scene
all the parties and the limousines
Such a good actress
hiding all her pain
Trading her memories
for fortune and fame
Just a step away from
the edge of a fall
Caught between heaven and hell
Where's the girl I knew a year ago?
(chorus)
Too much too soon?
Or just a little too late?
Cause when her ship came in
she wasn't there and
It just wouldn't wait
(instrumental)
Remember the nights we sat
And talked about all our dreams
Well, little did we know then
They were distant than they seemed
Well I, oh I knew it, hey you knew it too
The things we'd go through
Well, we knew the things, we had to do
To make it, baby
You gotta cry tough
Out on the streets
To make your dreams happen
You gotta cry out
Out to the world
To make them all come true
Life ain't no easy ride
At least that's what I am told
Sometimes the rainbow, baby
Is better than the pot of gold
Well I, you've got to stick it out
Whether you're wrong or right
And you can't give in without a fight
To make it, baby
You gotta cry tough
Out on the streets
To make your dreams happen
You gotta cry out
Out to the world
To make them all come true
Well, you gotta aim high, baby
Whether you lose or win
And when you get to the top
You gotta get off or go right back down again
You gotta cry tough
Out on the streets
To make your dreams happen
You gotta cry out
Out to the world
To make them all come true
Well, you gotta cry tough
Out on the streets
To make your dreams happen
You gotta cry out
Out to the world
To make them all come true
You gotta cry tough
Out on the streets
To make your dreams happen
You gotta cry out
Out to the world
To make them all come true
Like animals
Tonight we make it
You give me an inch,
I'm gonna take it
I'll steal your love
Like a thief
To be as one
Is my belief
Don't look back and have no regrets
Like beasts of prey we must feed on it
I'll be your one, your one and only
To feel me burn come close and hold me
CHORUS
Flesh and Blood sacrifice
Melts the heart like fire and ice
Flesh and blood like fire to ice
Are you willing to sacrifice
There's no more time,
Don't think about
The flame will die
If you doubt
It's a game of
Love and hate
To lose it all's
A chance we take
Come to me and take my hand
It's in the fire that we must stand
I'll take you down under my gun
Our flesh and blood will be as one
CHORUS
Our blood runs deeper than a river
The less you need the more I'm gonna give you
I'm uneducated
My clothes outdated
I'm not politically correct
I still hate small talk
And fast cars and hard rock
Still adds up my?
I should be expressing
All my inner repression
I guess depression's now a cultural thing
My record company says
Blow my brains out my head
I make the cover of every magazine
Chorus:
Step inside my nightmare
Welcome to my trip
I cannot pretend and I will not defend
Why this good old boy's so tragically unhip
I still like bad girls
Who rock me hard in my world
Its monkey see and monkey do
When I'm ?
I got an old waterbed
I like to trip into the dead
I've keep a poster of kiss on my wall
I still curse, smoke, drink and toke
And make love in the back of my car
Chorus
Solo
I like that home grown
Mind blowing
You're bringing
R rolling
They see strange stalking
Mind stopping
Ass swinging
Street walking
Well she stepped into the room
Right then she got my eyes
She had an ass like a truck
And two amazing thumping thighs
She's been like no other
Just one big fat mother freak
So ? ? ? ?
She likes whips and chains and things
She don't need no diamond rings
Couldn't get her through the door
So I did her on the floor
Lets get naked baby
And roll under the sheets
I ask one favor baby
Don't roll on top of me
She's my crisco queen
A non-stop love machine
On the scene like a sex machine
She ain't big going get bigger
Sparks may fly like the fourth of july
Just don't get any in your eye
She's got me on a 2x4
So I don't fall in when she wants more
I got excited she through
Her hands right over me
One the size of a truck
The other the size of a tree
She whispered in my ear
Just one could you push it near
Guess I had to move when you get down to it
She likes whips and chains and things
She don't need no diamond rings
Couldn't get her through the door
So I did her on the floor
Sparks may fly like the fourth of july
Just don't get any in your eye
She's got me on a 2x4
I can't say I ain't been around
That I ain't done my time
Seems like this big old world
Has been one big shoe to shine
But I never ever took a dime
For what comes naturally
And if I never knew the truth
Well she'd be fine with me
One night she stayed over here
And left her little black book behind
Well that little black book ain't little no more
And it wasn't too hard too find
Chorus:
She'd leave me in this lonely room
The thought just made me sick
It's funny how the pieces fit
My baby gets around a bit
Yeah, my baby gets around a bit
Her pager would ring, it's a funny thing
She'd have to go right away
She always had a wad of cash
Much more than her job could pay
I'd ask her where she's going to
And this is what she'd say
";I gotta meet someone for an interview
He's only in town today";
Always a little bit overdressed
Much more than I thought he'd be
High heel shoes and day glow dress
Ain't seem strange to me
She'd leave me in this lonely room
While some stud got his sex
Just then the thought occurred to me
My baby gets around a bit
My baby gets around a bit
Oooh, my baby gets around a bit...
Solo
Took her to the local bar
Where I like to hang
Every guy that passed her by
They all seemed to know her name
They all called her by a different name
And one of them winked at me
Some guy named Stan said ";you're the man
I heard you get it for free";
She'd leave me in this lonely room
And the thought hit me like a brick
It's funny how the pieces fit
My baby gets around a bit
Ooooh, my baby gets around a bit
Ooooh, my baby gets around a bit
My baby gets around a bit
My baby gets around....
My baby..
Drop the bass!
(Do you like that?)
Shipped out on of knees
Her old man thinks you're a social disease
Dog pissed on the floor left a stain
Your old lady's daddy driving you insane
She stopped taking the pill
Then left you sued you for a mil
You've got your problems, boy so damn great
Can't find a good wife can't find a good job
Can't find the keys to my car
I lost my dog I lost my brain
I lost my girl to a big movie star (whatever)
Now I'm standing at the crossroads trying to find my way home
But the truth is baby I'm so
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
Sometimes I'd just
Chorus:
Like to jump in and get me some funky
When push comes to shove
You talk too much and way too rough
How 'bout we both shut up and let's make love
I'm home hangin', the walls bangin'
It's the neighbor next door
They're talking trashy or doing the nasty
They keep me up until four
So they keep on going more and more
I hear and said ";Lord, I'm half crazy";
I gotta get me some of that
In and out, and in and out,and in and out
Chorus
When the clothes start flying
There's no denying
Gonna get some funky
Good, good funky
Your blood starts pumpin'
Baby start somethin'
Here oh right here, right here baby
Oh give me a little bit of loving
Solo
It's all so simple
I'll bring the ripple
What's your state of mind?
How 'bout we drink, get drunk
Chorus
Alt Chorus
?????
?????
When push comes to shove
Skip your lip and all the politics
How 'bout we both shut up and let's make love
It would sound like this....
Stop!
CHOURS
Your Mama don't dance and your Daddy don't rock and roll
Your Mama don't dance and your Daddy don't rock and roll
But when evening comes around and it's time to hit the town
Where do you go--You gotta rock it
The old folks say that
You gotta end your date by ten
But if you're out on a date
Don't you bring her home late cause it's a sin
You know there's no excuse,
You know you're gonna lose, you never win
I'll say it again
And it's all because
CHORUS
Everyone gather round let me tell you all about it
You see I pulled into a drive-in and I found a place to park
We hopped into the backseat where it's always nice and dark
We're just about to move thinking "Bret, this is a breeze"
There's a light in my eye and a guy says
"Out of the car, long hair!"
Oowee--you're coming with me
Said the local police
CHORUS
Play me a little C.C.
Your Mama don't dance, no
She just don't dance, no
Your Mama don't dance and your Daddy don't rock and roll
You're such a sexy thing and it's all right
But your daddy loves you and that's all right
He buys you diamond rings, but I'm giving you better things
That's all right, all right
Chorus
No doubt about it you're the queen of the fine
You can crawl up in me any ol' time
Slide up slow like a rattlesnake
Suck me in with every move you make
Heartbreaker
You talk so soft and sexy call me honey
Your eyes make love to me, take my money
Your body can hypnotize you let me fantasize
I can't hide it, I can't hide it
Chorus
No doubt about it you're the queen of the fine
You can crawl up in me any ol' time
Slide up slow like a rattlesnake
Suck me in with every move you make
Heartbreaker
The more I get the more I need
You have no idea what you're doing to me
I breakdown, I breakdown
The only way to forget about my ex
Is the wonderful sound of your sex yeah
You're so sexy, I want to touch you
But it's closing time, what could I do
You drive up in your corvette
I try to get you into my corvette
No dice
But I still love you
Chorus
No doubt about it you're the queen of the fine
I'd like to see you here tomorrow night
Slide up slow like a rattlesnake
Suck me in with every move you make
Heartbreaker
The more I want, the more I need
No idea what you're doing to me
Heartbreaker
Yeah i, I like it
Came to Hollywood
Gonna be a movie star
She got off the bus
She didn't get far
Now she can act as good as Meryl Streep
Dreams of stardom when she sleeps
The casting couch makes her scream
Wasn't like this in her dreams
Chorus
Wishful thinking
Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me, give it to me good
Wishful thinking
Let's go
Came to hollywood
Gonna be a big rock star
He can play a million riffs on this here guitar
Now he works two jobs can't get a break
Takes little white pills to stay awake
No record deals just make him scream
It wasn't like this in his dream
Clorus
(come on Bobby)
(Yeah I like that)
Hollywood
Superstars
Rock n' roll Denny's
Topless bars
Do a porno movie make some extra cash
But you spend it all to fast
Hollywood just makes you scream
It wasn't like this in your dreams
Chorus
Dream. wishful thinking
Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me, give it to me good
Wishful thinking yeah yeah
There's a rose on the bed
A letter that I wrote what you mean to me
Words I wished I'd said,
Were still in my head, now I pray you'd see
I don't know how to tell you that I miss you, baby
I struggle with the words sometimes
But in my heart, I know you'll find
Chorus:
I know, you know
Our souls will be together till the end of time
You know, I know
Your love is gonna meet me on the other side
As sure as the angels come down and take my breath away
I love you'd be the last thing I'd ever say
I'd ever say....
You walked beside me,
You stood by me and got me through my darkest times
And now I close my eyes
And visuallize your face for the last time
I didn't know how to tell you that I loved you baby
I struggle with the words sometimes
But in my heart, I know you'll find
Chorus:
I know, you know
Our souls will be together till the end of time
You know, I know
Your love is gonna meet me on the other side
As sure as the angels come down and take my breath away
I love you'd be the last thing I'd ever say
I never fell in love,
No one ever touched me like this before
You opened my eyes
Made me realize something worth living for
Solo (guitar and piano)
But if fate took you from me before I got to let you know
You're the one thing in my life worth dying for
If the world fell apart,
I know in my heart
I know would never change
If the devil himself
Tried to raise hell's bells
I know it would be in vain
If the heavens come down
Let 'em fall to the ground
Let 'em take my breath away
Like animals
Tonight we make it
You give me an inch,
I'm gonna take it
I'll steal your love
Like a thief
To be as one
Is my belief
Don't look back and have no regrets
Like beasts of prey we must feed on it
I'll be your one, your one and only
To feel me burn come close and hold me
Chorus:
Flesh and blood sacrifice
Melts the heart like fire and ice
Flesh and blood like fire to ice
Are you willing to sacrifice
There's no more time,
Don't think about
The flame will die
If you doubt
It's a game of
Love and hate
To lose it all's
A chance we take
Come to me and take my hand
It's in the fire that we must stand
I'll take you down under my gun
Our flesh and blood will be as one
Chorus
Our blood runs deeper than a river
The less you need the more I'm gonna give you
My daddy said
"son, don't you come to me cryin'
Cause money don't make you a happy man"
He said the grass is always greener
Any place except where you stand
He said some are born to win
And some born to lose
And sing them poor boy blues
Watch out
I've lived uptown, downtown
Lord I've lived everywhere
Almost drowned in the puddle of my own sweat I swear
I believe it's due time I get my mansion in ole bel air
Chorus:
But I'm still singin' those poor boy blues
Poor boy blues
You don't know how I'm feeling baby
Until you're wearing my shoes
Sure as I'm standing here
I got them poor boy blues
Friday night I get tanked up
And tossed in the local slam
At least I get three square meals
Until someone gets me out of this jam
In the meanwhile all my green
Is going to uncle sam
Chorus:
What you heard about me
Was probably right
I'm the boy next door
The one you were warned about
Oh yes, indeed
Well, I'm no upstanding citizen
but I'm standing up just the same
Chorus:
Number one bad boy
who's to blame
Number one bad boy
Ain't that a shame
Yeah, right
All my friends are two faced
And I'm a social disgrace
I got no morals
Don't belong in the rat race
Well, I'm no upstanding citizen
but I'm standing up just the same
Into a lonely world
Where I'm lost without a trace
Two faced
rat race
disgrace
Will I stand up on my own?
Of all the words I've spoken
And lies that I've told
Of all the hearts left broken
Begged for, bought, and sold
Lord I'm feeling lonely
Feel like I can't go on
The streets have all grown cold now
The mysteries all gone
She's all gone
She's all gone, gone, gone
All gone now
She's all...
Well I ain't getting any younger
Can't you see it in my eyes
Sweet has turned to sour
I think it's time for me to fly
Well my vices have turned to habits
And my habits have turned to stone
The lies chipped away at my smile now baby
While the truth ate me down to the bone
One more step I swear
And I'll go over the edge
I've gotta stop living at a pace that kills
Before I wake up dead
Chorus:
Good times, bad times
How life loves a tragedy
Heartbreaks, heartaches
How life loves a tragedy
The nights I spent in danger
With strangers I thought were friends
Only to wake in anger
For some pleasure they swore they'd send
I think it's time I move on
Like a rolling stone
Cause I got all the broken dreams I can buy
It's time to sell the ones I stole
Chorus
Well I paid the price
For every thrill I got
Those thrills are all long gone now baby
But I'm still paying for them like it or not
Solo
I think it's time I move on like a rolling stone
Cause I got all the broken dreams I can buy
I want action tonight
satisfaction all night
I grab my hat
and I grab my shoes
Tonight I'm gonna hit the streets
and cruise
Down the main street and check it out
and look at those school girls a hangin'
around
Now I'm a sucker for a pretty face
I dont care if she's in leather or lace
cause I'm just lookin' for a little kiss
Chorus:
I want action tonight, satisfaction all night
You got the love I need tonight
Long legs and short skirts
these girls hit me where it hurts
I can't wait to get my hands on them
I won't give up till they give i
Now I'm not lookin for a love that lasta
I need a shot and I need it fast
If I can't have her, I'll take her and make her
Chorus:
Hey, sweetheart, slide on in here
No, Im not in the front, jump in the back
Why?
Cause there's something back here I wanna
show ya
I want action tonight,
satisfaction all night
Oh, come on, honey, I wasn't that bad!
Oh well
My friend called just the other day
Packed it up he won't be back this way
It's not your heart but the spirit they break
There's only so much a small town boy can take
See the eyes of the countless masses
Drinking life from the empty glasses
Chorus:
No more victims
No more lies
Ne sheer heart attacks
No more empty promises
No more lookin' back
I came here loaded searching for the dream
But nothing is ever easy as it seems
I thought I got closer to it every day
But every day it just got so far away
See all the faces paled
Shot to hell when the system failed
Chorus
I thought I could take all the shit in grind
And stand much more pain
But see all those dead end wishes
heard a funny thing about me
But who the hell are you
I won't say that ain't true,
Lately I've been living on the edge
I don't recognize my own face or my friends.
Chorus:
Read the writing
On the wall
Hey, Mr. Smiley
Wake up, Mr. Smiley
Before you don't wake
Up at all, up at all
Today, I hired me a yes man
He simply agrees with everything I say
He does all my dirty deals
And feeds me my pills
As long as I'm still breathing he gets paid
Solo
Chorus
Yesterday I had a conversation
With all them voices in my head
One said I should quit
One said I was no good
One said to remind myself to get myself a fix
Chorus
Hey Mr. Smiley
And I'm feeling ten feet tall
I want to go
I want to go home now
I want to go
I want to go home now
Let's go
Saturday night, Rainbow Bar and Grill
Where there's cocaine lines and a little white pill
A beer and a gin, now I can't see straight
Slip it in, no glove, oops, too late
I remember her face but forgot her name
She forgot mine too, ain't that a shame
Smelled like reefer and my hair's in a mess
I left my love running down her dress
I want to go
I want to go home now
I want to go
I want to go home now
Dave from Drowning Pool is here
Steals my women and he drinks my beer
Buys me a pizza and a shot of Jim Beam
And ask who the fuck is Angeline
I to to piss the parking lot well I
Get in a fight but I don't get caught
Hell, no problem 'cuz the night's still young
I want a little more, gonna get ya some
I want to go
I want to go home now
I want to go
I want to go home now
CC, let's go
Rock stars, movie stars, a Hollywood scene
I eat dinner with Nick Cage and Charlie Sheen
Nick asks me what the hell unskinny bop means?
It's slang for CC banging a porno queen
Mario, Michael, Tony and Steady
RV won't ya get table six ready?
My platinum records hang all around
When you was a child life's a game
But you got all the rules all changed
Pray to a spiritual God for material things
Then wait by the phone but it don't ring
So if you feel like you fell behind
That mountain has got to big to climb
Want to hang your head and say screw it
Forget that shit lets get down to it
Come on,baby

Bring her right here to me
Mind tripper
Dance sister
There ain't no way to change your past
Just get your head out of your ass
Mind tripper
Dance sister
Keep the faith
Forget the fame
Don't let your balls go down the drain
I went to bed too late
And got up too soon
My poor head still spinnin'
From too much booze
I got a foot in the gutter
A foot in the grave
I ain't seen home
In the last three days
Oh my God, look what the cat dragged in
Livin' my life sin after sin
Night rolls up and I do it again
Oh my God, look what the cat dragged in
No tell, motel
Hotel bed
If it wasn't for the sunlight
I'd swear I was dead
I got a girl on the left of me
A girl on the right
I know damn well
I slept with both last night
Oh my God, look what the cat dragged in
Livin' my life sin after sin
Night rolls up and I do it again
Oh my God, look what the cat dragged in
Yeah, sin after sin
I'm late for work on Monday
And my boss is bitchin'
Can't get out of bed
'Cause my head's still spinnin'
My hair's in a rat's nest
I look like hell
Half alive or half dead
I just can't tell
Oh my God, look what the cat dragged in
Livin' my life sin after sin
Night rolls up and I do it again
Oh my God, look what the cat dragged in
Cat dragged in
Cat dragged in
Cat dragged in, ow, in
Look what the cat dragged
Cat dragged in
Cat dragged in
Cat dragged in
Cat dragged in
Cat dragged in
Cat dragged in
Got no time to think about good intentions Don't wanna think about tomorrow Got no time to think about indiscretions Don't wanna think about past reflections Chorus 'cause I'm liv'in in the now, yeah Liv'in in the now Hold tight it'll be alright Hold tight it'll be alright Lock you in a cage A little unsure today Unkind thing to say Flies into a rage Chorus (2) Everyday is shorter than the day before saving for a rainy day is just a metaphor Chorus It's so easy to offend When venom is your friend Wounds can never mend And you don't try Chorus (2) Chorus (Solo) Now you watch me bleed 'cause you never did believe me Only to decieve with just one lie Chorus (2) Chorus x 2 out
North side, east side, little Willy
Willy wears the crown, he's the king around town
Dancing, glancing, Willy drives them silly
With his star shoe, shimmy shuffle down
Way past one and feeling alright
'Cause with little Willy 'round, they can last all night
Hey down, stay down, stay down, down
'Cause little Willy, Willy won't go home
But you can't push Willy 'round, Willy won't go
Try tellin' everybody but, oh no
Little Willy, Willy won't go home
Up town, down town, little Willy
Willy drives them wild with his runaround style
Inside, outside, Willy sends them silly
With his star-shine, shimmy shuffle smile
Mama done chase Willy down the hall
But laugh, Willy laugh, he don't care at all
Hey down, stay down, stay down, down
'Cause little Willy, Willy won't go home
But you can't push Willy 'round, Willy won't go
Try tellin' everybody but, oh no
Little Willy, Willy won't go home
Little Willy, Willy won't, Willy won't, Willy won't
Little Willy, Willy won't, Willy won't, Willy won't
Little Willy, Willy won't, Willy won't, Willy won't
Little Willy, Willy won't, Willy won't, Willy won't
Little Willy, Willy won't go home
But you can't push Willy 'round, Willy won't go
Try tellin' everybody but, oh no
Little Willy, Willy won't go home
Little Willy, Willy won't go home
But you can't push Willy 'round, Willy won't go
Try tellin' everybody but, oh no
I felt this before now I feel it again
No matter how hard I try
This feeling won't end
So I pretend you're here by my side
Tonight on this lonely ride
Keep telling myself that
Life goes on while you're miles away
And I need you
Time rolls on as night steals the day
There's nothing I can do
You heal up my wounds
I tasted your tears
You spilled out your heart
So I let out my fears
But one fear that I kept to myself
How I prayed that you'd love no one else
Like you're saying you love me
Life goes on while you're miles away
And I need you
Time rolls on as night steals the day
There's nothing I can do
If you only knew how much I miss you
When my mind plays these tricks on me
It shows me things I don't want to see
That's why I tell myself now
I keep telling myself now
Just take another piece of me
Life goes on while you're miles away
And I need you
Time rolls on as night steals the day
There's nothing I can do
Life goes on you're still miles away
And I need you
Welcome to my city
The girls are so damn pretty
Such a pity, they don't come for free
Just call me pimp daddy
I'll roll ya one big fatty
I think your gonna like hangin with me
Chorus
Welcome to my city of sin
I believe your gonna fit right in
Yes this is my city of sin
Your first lesson is about to begin
Now you're living in the city of sin
You don't mind if i call you friend
Once you enter you can never get out of here
Welcome to hollyweird
I'm the king of the streets
I own the cops, the junkies and freaks
It's human wasteland i call home
Grow your hair to your shoes
Trust me boy you just can't lose
Sitting here in my cell writing a letter
Thanking all the people who made my living conditions better
And thanks to the justice system
I'm making a million
My lawyer got me a book deal
Now I'm making a killing just from making a killing
I got an agent for the publicity
An accountant to count my royalties
The talk shows want me, sorry I can't go
I'm stuck here on death row
You call me hannibal lechter, if I was smarter
If I was charlie manson you'd make me a martyr wouldn't ya
You'd call me a handsome man if I was bundy
But if I looked like john wayne gasey you'd just say I'm funny, not ha ha funny
Chorus:
Tried to act my career just flopped
Killed my neighbor, got on cops
Problem is, I only made one show now
I'm stuck here on death row
The poor victim's families never make a dime
Networks say I'm not prime time
All my cell mates on my cell block
Say I'm the hottest topic at the coffee shops
Waitress cries, "god how they should free me"
Send me her love letters, says someday she'd really love to meet me
Tells her customers people should forgive me for the things I do
I wonder if I kill her would her family forgive me too?
Chorus
Thanks for the attention and the publicity
The taxpayer's dollars that you spend on me
Thanks for the good meal, dry bed, and these warm clothes
Mama, please let me go to the show
I dig those bad boys playing that rock and roll
No way, son, you can't go out tonight
So I got real upset, put up the biggest fight
Chorus:
Mama, let me go to the show
I dig those bad boys playing that rock and roll
Mama, let me go out tonight
Mama, please, before I lose my mind
Out the window
Shimmy down the tree
I take a look around
Make sure no one's watching me
I steal the keys and take
My old man's chevrolet
I can hear my mama scream
From ten miles away
Chorus:
Rock and roll rodeo
Rock and roll rodeo
I've spent my life waiting
For that famous final scene
I believe you know the one--
When she falls in love with me
As for you, you've been fakin' your smile
Fillin' your time
On small talk
And cheap wine
Knowing in your heart there was someplace
That you'd rather be
So right or wrong,
I wrote you this song
To tell you how I feel
Don't put up no fight
You just turn off the lights
Walk over here to me
Chorus:
And lay your body down on me
Down on me tonight, oh yeah
Oh, let your tears fall down on me
Down on me tonight, oh yeah
As for me I've lied to, denied to
Fight with, and tried to
Apologize for all my ways
To all the women who were fool enough to fall
In love with me
You played your role
Like a movie
Got your lines for who is,
Who was, who would be
Somehow you lost track
While real love slipped away, yeah
So for tonight, just turn off the lights
And let those real feelings show
There's no wrong or right
But until you try
You're never gonna know
Chorus
Before you was mine
I was so lonely
Ain't it a shame
Your heart must feel pain
Before you get back on your feet again
Solo
So let's draw the blinds
Forget wasted time
And let them old demons die
Take ahold of my hand
Then you'd understand
Oh yeah
Rock you baby
My pretty girl, you move so sexy in your skin
Spread your wings for me, let my love come in
My sexy girl, all the world's your stage
You love to feel my passion
You love to feed my rage
Chorus
Give me your faith, you take my hand
You be my girl, I'll be your man
My love's forever, my heart is true
You live for me, I'd die for you
Believe me, baby
Pretty girl, lives inside my head
Like an angel hanging above my bed
I think about you when I'm pacing in my cage
How I loved your eyes, how you loved my evil ways
Chorus
I am love, you are hate
You are laughter, I am rage
My love's forever, my heart is true
You live for me, I'd die for you
Oh yeah, rock it, baby
Guitar solo

Pretty girl, I'd protect you from the pain
I will be your sinner, I will be your saint
My sexy girl is so hard to please
She's all I ever wanted, all I ever need
Chorus
You be my girl, I'll be your man
Believe in me, give me your hand
I pull my gun, my aim is true
You'd die for me, 'cause I'd die for you
Oh yeah, rock it baby
You are love, I am hate
You're a sinner and I'm a saint
We are laughter, we are rage
Crime of passion, gonna seal my fate
You're the fire, I'm gasoline
I'm coming on like a war machine
My love is strong, my soul is true
Late at night I close my eyes
And think of how things could have been
And when I look back
I remember some words you had said to me
It’s better to have lost at loveThen never to have loved at all
I won’t forget you baby
Even though I should
I won’t forget you baby
Even though I should, yeah
Sometimes in my head
I can still see pictures of you
And I laugh to myself
When I think of all those crazy things that we used to do
Although miles come between us
Just between you and me
I won’t forget you baby
Even though I should
I won’t forget you baby
Even though I should, yeah
I should let you fade away
But that just wouldn’t be me
Oh, baby
Although miles come between us
Just between you and me
I won’t forget you baby
Memories slowly fade
I won’t forget you baby
And all the plans we made
Well you just step right up, you sexy thing
Tell me what's been goin' on in that funky little brain
Come dance with the devil
You want it when it's gonna cost you
'cause nothing comes for free
When you're living in a human zoo
Chorus
Dance sister dance through the human zoo
You're such a mess now, girl
Look what they've done to you...
In the human zoo
Look what they've done to you
All love lost, in a fit of rage
Sell your soul for revenge and seal your fate
Welcome to the nightmare
I've been expecting you
Say anything you like, baby
Just don't let me hear your point of view
Chorus
Dance sister dance through the human zoo
Dance sister dance through the human zoo
You're such a mess now, girl
Look what they done to you...
In the human zoo
Look what they done to you
Look what, look what they done, baby
They made a mess of you
Harmonica solo
Bridge
Hanoi rocks and saigon rolls
Just drop the bomb then watch it explode
Sign of the times read "too young to vote"
But old enough to die for you
We got the medication you need
Just don't let us hear your point of view
Chorus
Dance sister dance through the human zoo
Friday night at midnight
Looking for what I need
I heard a tale that somewhere
That a dude had a real go at me
So like a rat race cowboy
I slipped into the human zoo
Headed down some trouble
Got myself a drink or two
Well I took to the streets
And I took to the bars
Marched right in but I didn’t get far
Manager said hey boy there’s the door
But I didn’t leave until I evened the score
chorus
I gotta face the hangman
Gotta pay for what I done
I gotta face the hangman
Or by the noose I swing
In the morning sun
Like a tipsy gypsy
Looking like I’d been had
But like the story says
This wild-eyed boy is bad
I got a police squad car
Taxi to the local slam
They said
Son you’re gonna pay for what you’ve done
But I don’t give a damn
Just cause I like to drink and dance all night
An alley cat brawl in an old fist fight
Give me no lip boy or I’ll kick you in the mouth
Watch you head fly north and your teeth fly south
chorus
Now the judge looked and me and said
"that boy… he definitely be guilty"
Don't give up an inch girl
If you won't take me for the mile
Don't give up an inch girl
If you won't take me for the mile
Miles from home and I'm all alone
And looking for the first time
We took a long ride
And there by her side
I did my first crime
Well Mary Mary
Quite contrary
Just how does your garden grow
She said you ring my bell
And rattle my shell
I'll be your pretty maid all in a row
Put me to the test
Lay me down to rest
While her nails cut me up like a knife
Put me in you
Like a flesh tattoo
And scared this poor boy for life
Don't give up an inch girl
If you won't tak eme for the mile
Don't give up an inch girl
If you won't take me for the mile
It was a hot one
In the summer sun
And more than heat was rising
I remember that September
And just how you left me smiling
I left there shaken body was achin'
Like it never did before
Begged and pleaded
Swear I needed
Needed you a whole lot more
Put me to the test
Lay me down to rest
While her nails cut me up like a knife
Put me in you
Like a flesh tattoo
And scared this poor boy for life
Put me to the test
Lay me down to rest
While her nails cut me up like a knife
Put me in you
Like a flesh tattoo
And scared this poor boy for life
Made this boy's bell ring
And there I earned my wings
Left me there in sweet pain
Hell I'll never be the same
Don't give up an inch girl
If you won't take me for the mile
Don't give up an inch girl
Coughing, blues? : "gol, bret--don't touch me there!"
Bret: I'm gonna tell you who we are.
Well we're big rock singers
We got golden fingers
And we're loved everywhere we go
(that sounds like us)
We sing about beauty
And we sing about truth
At ten million dollars a show
(yeah, right!)
We take all kinda pills
That give us all kinda thrills
But the thrill we've never known
Is the thrill that it gets ya
When you get your picture
On the cover of the rolling stone
Chorus:
Rolling stone
I'm gonna see my picture on the cover
Stone
Gonna buy five copies for my mother
Stone
Gonna see my smiling face
On the cover of the rolling stone
I got a freaky old lady named cocaine katie
Who embroiders on my jeans
I got my poor old gray-haired daddy
Driving my limousine.
Now it's all designed to blow our minds,
But our minds won't really be blown
Like the blow that'll getcha
When you get your picture
On the cover of the rolling stone
Chorus
Spoken: hey, I know how!!!
Solo
Spoken: beautiful!
We gotta lot of little teen-aged
Blue-eyed groupies
Who do anything we say
We got a genuine indian guru
He's teaching us a better way
We got all the friends that money can buy,
So we never have to be alone
And we keep gettin' richer,
But we can't get our picture
On the cover of the rolling stone
Chorus
Talking:
I don't know why we ain't on the cover, baby!
Ah we're beautiful fellas!
I ain't kiddin' you man, we'd make a beautiful cover
I mean, I can see it right now--we be up front,
Oh, we be smilin'....beautiful!
My chick is driving me crazy
She thinks that I'm lazy
Just because I'm good at nothing all day
My baby don't get it
So my job, I quit it
Bust my ass,
Hell I barely get paid
People like to put me down
And just because I hang around
Don't they understand it's my way?
Chorus:
Everybody tries to break me
Say they love me when they hate me
Baby you just can't bring me down
I've seen long and lonely days
And I have lost and found my ways
So baby you just can't bring me...down
Yeah, bring me down
Baby I'm leaving
You've got my heart bleeding
So I'm taking the easier way out
The angel in my head
Is now the devil in my bed
If my walls could talk they would shout
Baby you can talk and talk
The hurt you caused, it just don't stop
I think I'm going out of my brain
Chorus
Solo
I got a car, it go fast
Cute fuzzy dice up on the dash
Got a bumper sticker, just say "peace"
Keep a gun under my seat
To protect me from the pain
Should your words get in my brain
Can't you love me just the same
Yeah, Blues!)
I won't ask where you're going
If you don't ask where I've been
'Cause if you're looking for an answer, babe
I wouldn't know where to begin.
I don't know what I want sometimes
But I sure know what I likes
You've got that thing about you
Gets me hot inside
If it makes no sense when I wrote this song
Cause half way through it you were turning me on
Chorus #1:
Lay me down
I just might be your kind
I'll show you a better way
We can do away the time
If you stop looking so hard
I think you just might find
I ain't finding it so bad
Might be the best thing you ever had
You know a little 'bout love and
I know a lot about hate
I believe you gotta make things happen
You believe in fate
But this won't be the first time that
we didn't see eye to eye
You may not be religious but I'll make you see God
If you give me a try
I know love can get me through it
If you give me that look we'll get down to it
Chorus #2:
Don't shoot me down
I'm not a social disease
You've got that thing about you
Bring a grown man to his knees
I'll teach you baby
'bout them birds and them bees
When you get around
And think about it ain't so bad
Might be the best thing you ever had
Best thing I ever had
Solo
Ah, give me some of that!
When I put out the dog
ya get them old ghosts out of bed.....
I ain't looking for a little to say
Baby some place to lay my head
I'm the one to right your wrong
So you want to talk about the pain
Talk to me, please explain
Maybe I know what your going through
You got so much pain to hide
You keep it locked up deep inside
In a room no one gets to
I can't feel the way you feel
Maybe i, I've got those same scars, same scars to heal
Wish you've got to understand
I want to be the only man to
Ever touch you baby
To ever...
Chorus:
I'll be there should the sun go down
Lift you up to a higher ground
Let me in, let me be the one
I'll be there should you fall from grace
Wipe those tear drops from your face
I see no more damage done
Baby, baby,
Just let me be the one
I want to be the one to shelter you
Should the rains come down
Never let you drown
I'll pull you through
I want to hear you when you scream
Be your prince when you dream
Hold you close when you cry
I said...
I want to feel your love, your hate
Should you be lost, I'll bear your cross of pain
Love seal your fate
I'll comfort you in fits of rage
I'll be the book you can turn the page, and
I'll still love baby
I'll still...
Chorus
I gotta touch you I'll see no more damage done
You gotta let me
Solo
I hear the hurt I hear the scars
You can lay your hand right down across my heart
Then you'll learn to understand
I want to be the only man to
Ever touch you baby, ever touch you baby ever
Chorus
I'll be calm in fits of rage
Hold you close in times of pain
I see more damage done
not a dime can't a pay my rent
I can barely make it through the week
Saturday night I like to make my girl
but right now I can't make ends meet no
I'm always workin' Slavein'
every day gotta get away from the same old same old
I need a chance just to get away if you can hear me
think this is what I'd say
Don't need nothin' but a good time
how can I resist
Ain't lookin' for nothin' but a good time
and it don't get better than this
So I spent my money on women and wine
But I couldn't tell you where I spent last night
I'm real sorry 'bout the shape I'm in
I just a like my fun every now and then
I'm always workin' Slavein'
every day gotta get away from the same old same old
I need a chance just to get away if you can hear me
think this is what I'd say
Don't need nothin' but a good time
how can I resist
Ain't lookin' for nothin' but a good time
and it don't get better than this
You see I, I raise a toast to all of us
Who are breakin' our backs every day.
If wantin' a good life is such a crime
WELL LORD THEN PUT ME AWAY!
Yeah here's to ya
Guitar!
(Guitar Solo)
Don't need nothin' but a good time
how can I resist
Ain't lookin' for nothin' but a good time
and it don't get better than this
Don't need nothin' but a good time
how can I resist
Ain't lookin' for nothin' but a good time
and it don't get better than this
Well it's friday night and I'm waiting
On your call girl, like I do
Am I wasting my time by this telephone line
Waiting on your call to come through
Chorus:
I should be already over you
Tell me mama, what can I do
It's been a long hard road that you put me through
Seven days over you
Seven days, seven days over you
Seven days over you
Kick it
I kick and fight for you baby
But that's never enough for you
You've been twisted and torn since the day you were born
You make a game of breaking hearts in two
Now I want to give up but I dig the rush too much
I guess that's what love will do
So drag your heart-stopping mind trip downtown, girl
By friday night I'll find someone new
Chorus
Lord knows what you put me through
Sitting here in my cell writing a letter
Thanking all the people who made my living conditions better
And thanks to the justice system
I'm making a million
My lawyer got me a book deal
Now I'm making a killing just from making a killing
I got an agent for the publicity
An accountant to count my royalties
The talk shows want me, sorry I can't go
I'm stuck here on death row
You call me hannibal lechter, if I was smarter
If I was charlie manson you'd make me a martyr wouldn't ya
You'd call me a handsome man if I was bundy
But if I looked like john wayne gasey you'd just say I'm funny, not ha ha funny
Chorus:
Tried to act my career just flopped
Killed my neighbor, got on cops
Problem is, I only made one show now
I'm stuck here on death row
The poor victim's families never make a dime
Networks say I'm not prime time
All my cell mates on my cell block
Say I'm the hottest topic at the coffee shops
Waitress cries, "god how they should free me"
Send me her love letters, says someday she'd really love to meet me
Tells her customers people should forgive me for the things I do
I wonder if I kill her would her family forgive me too?
Chorus
Thanks for the attention and the publicity
The taxpayer's dollars that you spend on me
Thanks for the good meal, dry bed, and these warm clothes
Lately boy, your head ain't right
And nothing seems to thrill you
Word on the streets is
No sex no more 'cause, it'll kill you
You touch, she bites,
You push, she shoves
Then she yells in your ear
No glove, no love
Oh, it'll ruin the mood
But you know she's right
When the big head stops and the little head talks
You better learn how to walk the walk
Chorus:
As far as I can see
It's really no big mystery
It's the same old story
No ring, no gets
It ain't the boat you float
It's the motion in the ocean and I quote:
Before you start pumping that fuel out your jet
No ring, no gets
(Got) This feeling coming over you
It's a very frustrating emotion
You keep thinking your smooth
Start making your move
But your lady starts causin' commotion
You'd like to round the bases
You know that's for sure
Cause Miss Palm and her five sisters just
Don't cut it no more
You know tonight you'd like to fly her kite
But the wind ain't blowing you got that right
Chorus
Solo
Woman hold the lock
A man's known that for years
You're burning up inside to insert that key
Could bring a man to tears
Your gun is loaded
You got her right in sight
About to pull your trigger
When the girl puts out the lights
But keep your cool don't make a scene
Cause her?
Chorus (2x's)
Don't you want my (repeat).
Hey! Come on now, everyone sit down and shut up a minute.
Give me a chance to talk, it's my turn.
Uptown got it's hustlers
Bowery got it's bums
42nd Street got Big Jim Walker
He's a pool-shootin' son of a gun
Yea, he big and dumb as a man can come
But he stronger than a country hoss
And when the bad folks all get together at night
You know they all call big Jim "Boss" ... just because ...
And they say ...
You don't tug on Superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger
And you don't mess around with Jim
From south Alabama came a country boy
Hey say I'm lookin' for a man named Jim
I am a pool-shootin' boy
My name Willie McCoy
But down home folks call me Slim
Yea I'm lookin' for the man of 42nd Street
He drivin' some drop top Cadillac
And I know it sounds funny, but he took all my money,
now I come to get my money back.
And everybody say Jack (JACK)
And they say ...
You don't tug on Superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger
And you don't mess around with Jim
Well a hush fell over the pool room
Jimmy come boppin' in off the street
And when the cuttin' were done
The only part that wasn't bloody
Was the soles of the big man's feet
Yea he were cut in a million places
And he were shot in a couple more
And you better believe
They told a different kind of story
When big Jim hit the floor ... See ya Jim Boy. And they say
You don't tug on Superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger
And you don't mess around with Slim
(Spoken) Now, if I were Big Jim, I woulda Taken all the money,
grabbed the best looking girl I seen,
jumped in my car, and got the hell outta town.
You'd see me NOOO more.
You don't tug on Superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger
And you don't mess around with Slim
You don't tug on Superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger
Two-bit Billy was the coolest guy I ever saw
Didn't want no piece of the pie, he had to take it all
With his guitar slung low hangin' right about the knee
He made the biggest scene, he made the ladies scream,
He had a snakebite smile if you know what I mean
Chorus
He was livin' for the minute, livin' his life from day to day
If you want it, then take it
He said that's the rules if you wanna play
Magazine covers always shootin' poor Billy's face
He kept a score of his ladies chalked up on his guitar case
He was a bad-ass rockin', baby, always rollin' out the sounds
Like some freight train come and did a six-string strut and just tore the damn place to the ground
Chorus
Solo
Chorus 2x
Like this...
On the road for forty days,
Last night in little rock put me in a haze.
Sweet, sweet connie -- doin her act,
She stole the whole show and thats a natural fact.
Up all night with freddy king,
I got to tell you pokers his thing.
A-booze n ladies treat me right,
As long as we can make it to the show tonight.
Were an american band.
Were an american band.
Were coming to your town, well help you party it down.
Were an american band.
Four young chaquitas in omaha,
Was waitin for the band to return from the show.
Feelin good, feelin right, its saturday night,
The hotel detective -- he was out-a-sight.
Now, these fine ladies, they had a plan,
They was out to hang with me and the band.
They said, come on, dudes, lets get it on,
And Poison tore that hotel down.
Were an american band.
Were an american band.
Were coming to your town, well help you party it down.
Were an american band.
Were an american band.
Were an american band.
Were coming to your town, well help you party it down.

Well, i stepped into the room,
right then she caught my eye,
had an ass like a truck,
and too amazin' from the prize
shes been like no other,
just wanna make that mother brick house
Chorus:
one more for the bone,
she likes lips and
one more for the bone,
she dont need no diamond rings,
couldn't get her through the door,
so i did her on the floor,
one more for the bone
let's get naked baby,
roll under the sheets,
i ask one favor baby,
dont you roll on top of me
shes my frisko queen,
a non-stop love machine,
on the scene,
like a sex machine
one more for the bone,
sparks be flyin like the fourth of july,
one more for the bone,
but dont get any in your eye,
strapped me on a two by four,
so i dove right in when she want more,
one more for the bone
i got excited,
she threw her hands on top of me,
on the side of a truck,
on the side of a tree
She whispered in my ear,
just one question,
could you push it near baby,
just started to move when she got down to it
Well the talk on the street
Says you might go solo
A good friend of mine saw you leavin by the back door
I need to know(I need to know)
I need to know(I need to know)
If you think youre gonna leave
Then you better say so
I need to know(I need to know)
I need to know(I need to know)
Because I dont know how long
I can hold on
And if your makin me wait
If youre leadin me on
I need to know(I need to know)
I need to know(I need to know)
Who woulda thought
That youd fall for his line
All of a sudden its
Me on the outside
I need to know(I need to know)
I need to know(I need to know)
If you think youre gonna leave
Then you better say so
I need to know(I need to know)
I need to know(I need to know)
Because I dont know how long
I can hold on
And if your makin me wait
If youre leadin me on
I need to know(I need to know)
I need to know(I need to know)
I need to know(I need to know)
I need to know(I need to know)
If you think youre gonna leave
Then you better say so
I need to know(I need to know)
I need to know(I need to know)
Because I dont know how long
I can hold on
And if your makin me wait
If youre leadin me on
I need to know(I need to know)
I need to know(I need to know)
I need to know(I need to know)
When I was a child staring at the tube
I saw sex, violence and death on the news
One day I saw the duke kill someone
Daddy said don't worry boy, they're just acting son
All I want is attention from somebody
Somebody pay attention to me
Like them actors I got no shame
I want my fifteen minutes of fame
Doin' as I see on my tv
Doin' as I see on my tv
Can I get on the news if I kill my wife?
Would you respect me more if I took my life?
I tried to act and my career just flopped
So I beat up my neighbors and I got on cops
All I want's a millions bucks from somebody
Somebody pay a million bucks to me
I could shoot and rape and kill
And buy me a house in beverly hills, please?
Doin' as I see on my tv
Doin' as I see on my tv
I'd even do a porno flick, like all them hollywood chicks
I'm doin' it as I see on my tv
Took my girl to rent a porno movie
I thought that it'd be kinda groovy
I thought that'd this impress my lover
And there she was right on the cover!
All I want is attention from somebody
Somebody pay attention to me
I'm a man I got no shame
I want my fifteen minutes of fame
Doin' as I see on my tv
Doin' as I see on my tv
Hell I'd even do a porno flick, like my hero rocky did
Doin' as I see on my tv
Whistling, gargling
Come on, come on
Get on your dress and put on a smile
Lets lose this place
and get out awhile, awhile, awhile
You don't need nothin' fancy
Just a whole lot of attitude
I'll be your man now baby
If you're doing what I want you to do
I keep on tellin' ya
Chorus:
She's my ball and chain
My lock and key
And I'm liking it baby
She's my ball and chain
My lock and key
And I'm liking it good
I'll t-t-t-tell ya
Momma always said
There was plenty of fish in the sea
So I baited my hook but good
And caught one for me, just for me
She'll set you up with her body
And then knock you out with charm
She's just a little too nasty baby
But that never did me no harm, no
I keep on telling ya
Chorus
And she'll always be wrapped tight around me
In a smoky room
Could have been a devil's tomb
90 miles east of LA
Feeling desperate and cold
Barely 19 years old
Searching for the light in the pouring rain
I visualize the cold reality
If I don't try, the answer dies inside of me
Chorus:
Blind faith takes me to the mountains
Blind faith lead me to the sea
Blind faith takes me to a higher ground
Come on, come on, come on, and help me find my way
In a small town school
Caught between the liars and fools
She spent her days thinking about her life
She was full of dreams and doubts
searching for that one way out
Didn't want to spend the rest of her days being a small town wife
She could visualize the life she wants to lead
But deep inside, she didn't have the heart it takes to leave
Chorus
I just got to get myself out of here
We visualize the life we want to lead
But deep inside got to find a reason to believe
a small town girl with big time dreams
but nothing's ever as it seems
a mother waves her girl goodbye
then slowly hangs her head and cries
hollywood hills and the big city lights
outside her window they burn bright
someday the world will praise her fame
they'll know her face they'll shout her name
pre-chorus
they'll shout it real load
she'll make her mama real proud
she'll stand about the crowd
Chorus
i am someone
look what i've done
stare into the sun
i am a shooting star
i am something
i am someone
look what i have done
i am a shooting star
she looks down at the stars lying on the streets
says to herself "that will be me"
a big time dream a small town mind
searching for a break she may never find
streets of gold they turned to gray
just one more chance just one more day
someday that world will know this face
she swears they'll never fall from grace
they'll shout it real loud
she'll make her mama real proud
she'll stand about the crowd
and shout
chorus (solo)
she stand out on the streets in the pouring rain
strangers walk by they don't know her name
as the silver screen slowly fades to black
she'll never give in she can never go back
chorus
someday you'll see me
don't you need me
everybody will believe me
i am a shooting star
i will stand strong
i will hold on
it's not my last song
Like this... I've never seen a woman baby
That looks quite the way you do
The way you shake that thing now honey,
Can't take my eyes off you
The way you work it honey
It brings me to my knees
You give me what I'm looking for,
I'll give you what you need
And I said
Chorus:
I got the one thing you want,
Get it all night long
You got the one thing I need,
When your body talks
I hear it talking to me
Say, get it all night long
Woman why can't you see
You're my one thing
I got a world of trouble, baby
It's going on inside my head
Playing your game, got me half insane
Trying to make sense of every word you said
Stop beating around the bush
You're just wasting time
Let's get down to the business honey
And lay it one the line
And I said
Chorus
Tell me the news,
Let's hear your story
You think you got nothing to lose
You better use it up
before it gets old, baby
And becomes yesterday's news
Good God what do I see
Pretty little thing just
Looking at me
Ohhhh, ohhhh sexy thing
I say walk that thing
Right over here
Just one thing I've got to make clear
Ohhhh, ohhhh sexy thing
*pre-chorus*
The way you move your body
It's driving me insane
Don't you dare take me there
Then shoot me down in flames
*chorus*
She's just like a loaded gun, I just gottat get me some
Girl's so hot, you know is true
That woman gonna make a man of you
Really ain't no mystery
I want you and you want me
Ohhhh, ohhhh sexy thing
I want your ten toes up and my ten toes down
Two wet bodies going round and round
Ohhhh, ohhhh sexy thing
Now it really ain't no secret, I don't want this night to end
She said don't you worry Bret I brought along a friend
She's like a loaded gun, I just gotta get me some
Girl's so, hot you know is true
That woman gonna make a man of you
She make a dead man come
I gotta get me some
*pre-chorus*
She's just like a loaded gun, I just gotta get me some
Girl's so hot, you know is true
That woman gonna make a man of you
She's just like a loaded gun, I just gotta get me some
She make a dead man come
When I lost my way
You were my light
When others wronged me
You did me right
When I look in your eyes
Don't tell me lies
You tell me the truth
Your words, they get me through
This is all I've got
This is all I say
If this were my last day
This is my last song
It's all I got
If I bear my soul
Don't you break my heart
Won't you sing along
This is my last song
It's all I got
So don't you break my heart
Wrote down these words
Put 'em in this song
I play it for you
Pray they don't come out wrong
'Cause all I got's my word
I give it to you
Now it may not be much
It's the best that I can do
This is all I got
This is all I say
So please don't walk away
This is my last song
It's all I got
If I bear my soul
Don't you break my heart
Won't you sing along
This is my last song
It's all I got
So don't you break my heart
solo
If this were my last breath
Or my last day
My last chance
This is what I'd say
I thank you for the laughter
Sorry for the tears
Time to say goodbye
I say goodbye
After all these years
This is my last song
It's all I got
If I bear my soul
Don't you break my heart
Won't you sing along
This is my last song
It's all I got
So don't you break my heart
This is my last song
It's all I got
If I bear my soul
Don't you break my heart
Won't you sing along
This is my last song
It's all I got
You show us everything you've got
You keep on dancin' and the room gets so hot
You drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy
And you say you wanna go for a spin
The party's startin', babe, I'll let you in
You drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy
You keep on shoutin'
You keep on shoutin'
I wanna rock and roll all nite and party every day
I wanna rock and roll all nite and party every day
I wanna rock and roll all nite and party every day
I wanna rock and roll all nite and party every day
You keep on saying you'll be mine for a while
You're lookin' fancy and I like your style
You drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy
You show us everything you g-g-got
Baby, baby, that's quite a lot
You drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy
You keep on shoutin'
You keep on shoutin'
I wanna rock and roll all nite and party every day
I wanna rock and roll all nite and party every day
I wanna rock and roll all nite and party every day
I wanna rock and roll all nite and party every day
You keep on shoutin'
You keep on shoutin'
I wanna rock and roll all nite and party every day
I wanna rock and roll all nite and party every day
I wanna rock and roll all nite and party every day
So you want to talk about the pain
Talk to me, please explain
Maybe I know what your going through
You got so much pain to hide
You keep it locked up deep inside
In a room no one gets to
I can't feel the way you feel
Maybe i, I've got those same scars, same scars to heal
Wish you've got to understand
I want to be the only man to
Ever touch you baby
To ever...
Chorus:
I'll be there should the sun go down
Lift you up to a higher ground
Let me in, let me be the one
I'll be there should you fall from grace
Wipe those tear drops from your face
I see no more damage done
Baby, baby,
Just let me be the one
I want to be the one to shelter you
Should the rains come down
Never let you drown
I'll pull you through
I want to hear you when you scream
Be your prince when you dream
Hold you close when you cry
I said...
I want to feel your love, your hate
Should you be lost, I'll bear your cross of pain
Love seal your fate
I'll comfort you in fits of rage
I'll be the book you can turn the page, and
I'll still love baby
I'll still...
Chorus
I gotta touch you I'll see no more damage done
You gotta let me
Solo
I hear the hurt I hear the scars
You can lay your hand right down across my heart
Then you'll learn to understand
I want to be the only man to
Ever touch you baby, ever touch you baby ever
Chorus
I'll be calm in fits of rage
Hold you close in times of pain
I see more damage done
I don't mind you comin' here
And wastin' all my time
'Cause when you're standin', oh, so near
I kinda lose my mind, yeah
It's not the perfume that you wear
It's not the ribbons in your hair
I don't mind you comin' here
And wastin' all my time
I guess you're just what I needed
(Just what I needed)
I needed someone to feed
I guess you're just what I needed
(Just what I needed)
I needed someone to bleed
I don't mind you hangin' out
And talking in your sleep
It doesn't matter where you've been
As long as it was deep, yeah
You always knew to wear it well
You look so fancy, I can tell
I don't mind you hangin' out
And talking in your sleep
I guess you're just what I needed
(Just what I needed)
I needed someone to feed
I guess you're just what I needed
(Just what I needed)
I needed someone to bleed
I don't mind you comin' here
And wastin' all my time time
'Cause when you're standin', oh, so near
I kinda lose my mind, yeah
It's not the perfume that you wear
It's not the ribbons in your hair
I don't mind you comin' here
And wastin' all my time
I guess you're just what I needed
(Just what I needed)
I needed someone to feed
I guess you're just what I needed
(Just what I needed)
I needed someone to bleed
I guess you're just what I needed
(Just what I needed)
I needed someone to feed
I guess you're just what I needed
(Just what I needed)
Lately I can tell that something aint right
I dont see the fire when I look in your eyes
One time up, and the next time down
This may be the last time that you see me around, said
Well it sure seems to me nothing matters tonight
And all those things we worked out, they got lost in the fight
Its not enough, girl, that I gave you my soul
I just want to know if weve got anything left at all, and I say
Chorus:
Hold on now, baby.
This could be the last time we stand
This could be the last time that we say good-bye
The picture shatters
I cant find the words to save it
Tell me what to do, how can I make it right
We will always be fire and ice
Well promises made in the heat of the night
You could sure spit them out, girl, but theyve long passed me by
Nobody knows about the show you put me through
This could be the last time that I get through to you
Chorus
Well I cant stand to see no more damage done
But youll never understand until you suffer some, and I said....
