2. FLAMING TELEPATHS

Well Ive opened up my veins too many times
And the poisons in my heart and in my mind
Poisons in my bloodstream
Poisons in my pride
Im after rebellion
Ill settle for lies

Is it any wonder that my minds on fire
Imprisoned by the thoughts of what to do
Is it any wonder that my jokes an iron
And the jokes on you

Experiments that failed too many times
Transformations that were too hard to find
Poisons in my bloodstream
Poisons in my pride
Im after rebellion
Ill settle for lies

Yes I know the secrets of the iron and mind
Theyre trinity acts, a mineral fire
Yes I know the secrets of the circuitry mind
Its a flaming wonder telepath

Well Ive opened up my veins too many times
And the poisons in my heart and in my mind
Poisons in my bloodstream
Poisons in my pride
Im after rebellion
Ill settle for lies

Is it any wonder that my minds on fire
Imprisoned by the thoughts of what to do
Is it any wonder that my jokes an iron
And the jokes on you


3. ME 262

Goerings on the phone from freiburg
Says willies done quite a job
Hitlers on the phone from berlin
Says Im gonna make you a star

My captain von ondine is your next patrol
A flight of english bombers across the canal
After twelve theyll all be here
I think you know the job

They hung there dependant from the sky
Like some heavy metal fruit
These bombers are ripe and ready to tilt
Must these englishmen live that I might die
Must they live that I might die

In a g-load disaster from the rate of climb
Sometimes Id faint and be lost to our side
But theres no reward for failure - but death
So watch me in mirrors keep in the glidepath

Get me through these radars, no, I cannot fail
While my great silver slugs are eager to feed
I cant fail - no, not now
When twenty five bombers wait ripe

They hung there dependant from the sky
Like some heavy metal fruit
These bombers are ripe and ready to tilt
Must these englishmen live that I might die
Must they live that I might die

Me-262 prince of turbojet
Junkers jumo 004
Blasts from clustered r4m quartets in my snout
And see these english planes go burn

Well, you be my witness, how red were the skies
When the fortresses flew for the very last time
It was dark over westphalia
In april of 45

They hung there dependant from the sky
Like some heavy metal fruit
These bombers are ripe and ready to tilt
Must these englishmen live that I might die
Must they live that I might die

Must these englishmen live that I might die...junkers jommo 004

Bombers at 12 oclock high


4. CITIES ON FLAME

My heart is black, and my lips are cold
Cities on flame with rock and roll
Three thousand guitars they seem to cry
My ears will melt, and then my eyes

Oh, let the girl, let that girl, rock and roll
Cities on flame now, with rock and roll

Gardens of nocturne, forbidden delights
Reins of steel, and its alright
Cities on flame, with rock and roll
Marshal will buoy, but fender control

Let the girl, let that girl rock and roll
Cities on flame now, with rock and roll

My heart is black, and my lips are cold
Cities on flame with rock and roll
Three thousand guitars they seem to cry
My ears will melt, and then my eyes

Let the girl, let that girl rock and roll
Cities on flame now, with rock and roll


5. HOT RAILS TO HELL

Riding the underground
Swimming in sweat
A rumble above and below
Hey cop dont you know?
The heats on alright
The hot summer day didnt quit for the night

1277 express to heaven
Speeding along like dynamite
1277 express to heaven
Rumbles the steel like a dogfight
You caught me in its spell
Trying to leave but you know darn well
The heat from below can burn your eyes out

Blackened out eyes
Scratched on the wall
Stoned out looks from the crowd
The king will not know
On the wall it was said
The flash of his cards was sprayed with red

1277 express to heaven
Speeding along like dynamite
1277 express to heaven
Rumbles the steel like a dogfight
You caught me in its spell
Trying to leave but you know darn well
The heat from below can burn your eyes out


SIDE B-AEROSMITH


6. SAME OLD SONG & DANCE

Get yourself cooler
Lay yourself low
Coincidental murder
With nothing to show
With the judges constipation
Will go to his head
And his wifes aggravation
Youll soon end up dead

Its the same old story
Same old song and dance, my friend
Its the same old story
Same old song and dance, my friend

Gotcha with the cocaine
They found with your gun
No smooth face laywer
Could get ya undone
Say love aint the same
On the south side of town
You could look
But you aint gonna find it around

Its the same old story
Same old song and dance, my friend
Its the same old story
Same old story
Same old song and dance

Fate comes a-knockin
Doors start lockin
Your old time connection
Change your direction
You aint gonna change it
Cant rearrange it
Cant stand the pain
When its all the same to you, my friend

When youre low down and dirty
From walkin the street
With your old hurdy gurdy
No one to meet
Said love aint the same
On the south side of town
You could look
But you aint gonna find it around

Its the same old story
Same old song and dance, my friend
Its the same old story
Same old story
Same old song and dance


7. LORD OF THE THIGHS

Down to who knows who just to socialize
Im waitin for my girls, when you caught my eyes
You got your ways to make a man
Honey, you got to understand
Im your man, child, lord of the thighs

Well, well, lordie my god
What do we got here
Shes flashin cross the floor
Make it perfectly clear
Youre the bait and youre the hook
Someone bound to take a look
Im your man, child, lord of the thighs

You must have come here to find me
Youve got the look in your eyes
Although you really dont mind it
I am the lord of the thighs

You must have come here to find me
Youve got the look in your eyes
Although you really dont mind it
I am the lord of the thighs


8. S.O.S.

Stagecoach lady, hourglass body
Making things glow in the night
Well, she would if she could,
And she'd be good if she would
Only be lover, she'd be out tonight

'Cause I'm a bad
And lonely school boy
And I'm a rat
And it's too bad
Can't get me none of that!

Salt Lake City, salt-lickin' bitties
Bogus honey stinkin' of gin
Well my daddy was hard
His face was pretty scarred
From kickin' ass to playin' poker to win

'Cause I'm a bad
And lonely school boy

And I'm a rat
And it's too bad
Can't get me none of that

It's too bad

It's too bad
Can't get me none of that

Loose old lady
My mama Katie
Chivalry was born at her feet
Well she shoulda thought twice
When pa showed his dice
The night she put my daddy to sleep

'Cause I'm a bad
Lonely school boy
And I'm a rat
And it's too bad
Can't get me none of that

It's too bad
Lord, it's too bad
It's too bad
Lord, it's too bad


9. TRAIN KEPT A ROLLIN'

Well, on a train, I met a dame,
She rather handsome, we kind looked the same
She was pretty, from New York City

I'm walkin' down that old fair lane,
I'm in heat, I'm in love,
But I just couldn't tell her so
I said, train kept a-rollin' all night long

Train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
With a "heave!", and a "ho!"

But I just couldn't tell her so, no, no, no
Well, get along, sweet little woman get along

On your way, get along, sweet little woman get along
On your way,
I'm in heat, I'm in love,
But I just couldn't tell her so, no, no, no

But I just couldn't tell her

Well, we made a stop in Albequerque
She must'a thought I was a real cool jerk
Got off the train, and put her hands up
Lookin' so good, Jack, couldn't let it go
But I just couldn't tell her so

I said, train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long

But I just couldn't tell her
