1. SKY SCRAPER HELL OF A TOWN

Can't tell the top from the bottom
All your bad vibes I got 'm
I'm workin' like a dog
Just can't get ahead, no no
Well, all I drink is water
And all I eat is bread

Workin' like a dog, but I just can't get ahead
I gotta room with a view made out of bricks
I'm a pushover for all your pricks and dicks

I'm going up, I'm going down
In this skyscraper hell of a town
I'm going up, I'm going down
In this skyscraper hell

My friends I double-cross 'm
Live and die forgotten
I'm sleeping like a log
Sweating in my bed y'all
And all I drink is water
And all I eat is bread

Workin' like a dog, I just can't get ahead
I gotta room with a view made out of bricks
I'm a pushover for all your pricks and dicks

I'm going up, I'm going down
In this skyscraper hell of a town
I'm going up, I'm going down
In this skyscraper hell of a town
I'm going up, I'm going down
In this skyscraper hell of a town

Skyscraper hell, skyscraper hell
Skyscraper hell, skyscraper hell of a town

I'm going up, I'm going down
Skyscraper hell of a town


2. ANOTHER 45 MILES

Here comes the night
A veil over the light
In the distance some shadows of the clouds in the sky
I've got to get home, to my child, my wife

Here comes the night
I'm scared to death, got to get me a ride
It looks like the road is swallowing me up
Gotta hurry home, don't dare to look back
Blueville is straight ahead

Another 45 miles to go
Another 45 miles before I'm home
I wish I could pay the sun to run
Then I had some more time, with my wife, my son

Clouds in the sky
Gathering for a fight
Chasing their prey till it can't go on
I mend my pace 'cos my bride is waiting home

Here comes the night
I'm scared to death, got to get me a ride
It looks like the road is swallowing me up
Gotta hurry home, don't dare to look back
Blueville is straight ahead

Another 45 miles to go
Another 45 miles before I'm home
I wish I could pay the sun to run
Then I had some more time, with my wife, my son


3. WATCHA GONNA DO

I hear the sound of marching feet outside
Trampin' to the trip hop rolling with the ride
Staring out the window while it rattles and shakes
Watcha gonna do when the levee breaks

The clock is tickin' louder than a fire alarm
The leaves are whippin' round in a thunder storm
With a blank look in your eyes and a smile on your face
Watcha gonna do when the levee breaks

I hear rumors comin' down the road
I smell the telltale signs of a lie
You know nothing's ever what it seems to be
Better lock the door before it gets inside

Gonna drive a car right through your room
Maybe wake you up before you meet your doom
I can see what's coming, baby, make no mistake
Tell me, watcha gonna do when the levee breaks


4. TWILIGHT ZONE

Somewhere in a lonely hotel room,
There's a guy starting to realize
That eternal fate has turned its back on him,
It's two a.m

It's two a.m., the fear has gone
I'm sittin' here waitin', the gun still warm
Maybe my connection is tired of takin' chances
Yeah there's a storm on the loose, sirens in my head
I'm wrapped up in silence, all circuits are dead
I cannot decode, my whole life spins into a frenzy

Help I'm steppin' into the twilight zone
The place is a madhouse, feels like being cloned
My beacon's been moved under moon and star
Where am I to go, now that I've gone too far
Help I'm steppin' into the twilight zone
The place is a madhouse, feels like being cloned
My beacon's been moved under moon and star
Where am I to go, now that I've gone too far
Soon you will come to know,
When the bullet hits the bone
Soon you will come to know, when the bullet hits the bone

I'm falling down a spiral, destination unknown
A double-crossed messenger, all alone
I can't get no connection, can't get through, where are you
Well the night weighs heavy on his guilty mind
This far from the borderline
And when the hit man comes
He knows damn well he has been cheated

Help I'm steppin' into the twilight zone
The place is a madhouse, feels like being cloned
My beacon's been moved under moon and star
Where am I to go, now that I've gone too far
Help I'm steppin' into the twilight zone
The place is a madhouse, feels like being cloned
My beacon's been moved under moon and star
Where am I to go, now that I've gone too far
Soon you will come to know, when the bullet hits the bone
Soon you will come to know, when the bullet hits the bone


5. SAVE YOUR SKIN

The pity and the pleasure and the guilt and the pain
The sun and the moon and the stars in the rain
It's all the same
Goin' back to zero, the other side of life
With gasoline and neon lights, seeping through the night
On a color-slide
Hand that's holdin' a gun
It's the trigger-happy son
Another abnormality
A wolf among the sheep
It's the good time boy, girls toy
Takin' another chance
And there he goes
Do you think he knows
On and on he goes
Do you think it shows

Hold on he's coming back
Like a joker jumpin' out a the deck
Hit a lotta dust, hit it hard
Just to prove my lord he can take a lot
Dig it now you still can
Get a smoke-screen and a rifle-man
Holy Christ look at the state he's in
Save your skin, take my advice, and keep the kids inside
Save your skin, now you can, without an alibi
Save your skin, take my advice, and leave the dogs outside
'Cause here he comes
It's the demon man with the fire in his eyes
Checking out your lies one by one.

Soul kitchen's empty
Lotta contrast with last night
There's broken chairs and broken glasses
Everywhere in sight
Sunlight is blindin' my eyes, minute he walks in
How ya been?

Hold on, I'm coming back
Like a joker jumpin' out a the deck
Hit a lotta dust, hit it hard
Just to prove my lord I can take a lot
Dig it now you still can
Get a smoke-screen and a rifle-man
Holy Christ look at the state I'm in
Save your skin, take my advice, and keep the kids inside
Save your skin, now you can, without an alibi
Save your skin, take my advice, and leave the dogs outside
'Cause here he comes
It's the demon man with the fire in his eyes
With the fire in his eyes

Save your skin, save your skin.....


6. ARE YOU RECEIVING ME

If your circles could be spirals
And your idols weren't machines
If you could pick up all the signals
And flash on where you've been

Maybe you don't feel it at all
It's your own fault crawl boy, crawl!
If you could quit the miming
And try some different timing
You could get a chance to be free

Are you receiving me
It's the pilot's plea
Are you receiving me
Close to insanity
Are you receiving me
Recharge your battery
Are you receiving me
(Or are you out to lunch)

If your prayers could all be answered
And you were given time to pay
The chances would be so heavy
But you'd find a better way


7. SMOKING CIGARETTES

Smoking cigarettes
Don't know what to do
I was wrong
And now you're gone
Honey, oh honey, I need you

You didn't said hello
Now I know, I can't miss you
And I love you more
Honey, oh honey, I need you

You always said
Tried to understand
I'm just a woman
So don't be sad

Life is short
And nothing more
So when I leave you
I wanna know for sure

Don't call me back
When I say goodbye
Mind what you do
Don't have another try


8. JUST A LITTLE BIT OF PEACE IN MY HEART

The rainbow hides no treasure
Oh believe me it's not true
And there ain't no mixture
That will give you back your youth
No mystic machine that makes the sand turn to gold
Like there ain't no magic word
That holds you back from getting old

I catch a branch
And I break it in my hands
Like you broke my heart
Oh I still can't understand
No mysterious mixture
Can heal the wound you've made
Only time will bring peace to meand
Now I just hate

Oh I'll break up and I give it all up
No more lies, no more rainbow treasures
No more fairytales, no more games for me
It's my life, my life, a pleasure

There's just a little bit of peace in my heart
There's just a little bit of happiness I'll part

I catch a branch
And I break it in my hands
Like you broke my heart
Oh I still can't understand
No mysterious mixture
Can heal the wound you've made
Only time will bring peace to me
And now I just hate

Oh I'll break up and I give it all up
No more lies, no more rainbow treasures
No more fairytales, no more games for me
It's my life, my life, a pleasure

There's just a little bit of peace in my heart
There's just a little bit of happiness I'll part

The time rolls by, the days go by
When will I learn to stop wondering why
Despairing I'm going down on my knees
I'm begging, begging, begging, oh please

There's just a little bit of peace in my heart
There's just a little bit of happiness I'll part


9. KILL ME (CE SOIR)

Ce soir, Ce soir
Assassination d'un rock 'n roll star
Sing your song,
You can't go wrong
Attempted his business adviser
No need for alarm
You'll come to no harm
He didn't mention the sniper

Ce soir, Ce soir
Assassination d'un rock 'n roll star

The news is read, the meaning spread
One yawn, two yawn, and back to bed
Turn off the light and hold me tight
Come on maman, bend down your head
And just sing on, immortal song
Fini belle vie, bonne nuit

Remember that song called "Kill Me"
A lecture on political chicanery
Of people's rape
Recorded on tape
Bought shame to the presidency

Tonight, tonight
One more point for human right
Remember that song "Kill Me"
Once used by a man from Galilee
He had nothin' to lose
He was king of the Jews
Secured his place in history

Ce soir, Ce soir
Assassination d'un provocateur
The news is read, the voice is spread
One yawn, two yawn, and back to bed
Turn off the light and hold me tight
Come on maman, bend down your head
And just sing on, immortal song
Fini belle vie
Vick played the part,
With all his heart
He wasn't prepared for the shock
When howling lead
Bit into his head
A new martyr for the book of rock

Ce soir, Ce soir
Assassination d'un rock 'n roll star


10. GAMBLER'S BLUES

The table's smokin', I got money to burn
Get ready to spin that wheel again
I came to gamble, not to dance tonight
So cut the cards and deal 'em nice
All or nothing, roll the dice
Son of a gun, there's somethin' goin' on

Yeah, today's my lucky day
Lady Luck, please come my way
I got money to burn, money to burn tonight
And as the dealer calls the play
I feel the shiver, comin' over me
Feel it in my fingertips alright

Cards slidin' faster and slicker
Than a hooker's lips in the neon light

I do what I do, I'm a gamblin' man
I gamble on life and I gamble on love
Gamble on luck from above, anyway I can
Seven card stud, with a full-house hand
I'm a jackpot maniac, my friend
Tequila shots, one more chance
For the blackjack gamblin' man

The devil bets, he bets on hell
And seven come, eleven right
Holdin' eights and aces tight
The gambler bets on heaven tonight
The devil bets, he bets on hell
Goin' in for the kill
Holding eights and aces tight
It's the gambler's bet tonight
On heaven tonight


11. GOING TO THE RUN

I could bet on new-years eve
He'd call me up at night
From the other side of the world
Ed was always there alright
Ed's got the looks of a movie star
Ed's got the smile of a prince
He ride a bike instead of a car
I wanna be his friend

Dancing in the living room
With the ladies so nice
Like a child with a wisdom tooth
He's just a friend of mine
Ed's got the rings and the colors
Ed's got the wind in his hair
He goes a riding with the brothers
He's got a fist in the air

Going to the run, run Angel
Going to the run, run Angel
Well, heaven and hell came together that night
Only for you this time
Going to the run, forever Angel

One summer at the festival
Holding on real tight
On the back of a Harley
He took me for a ride in the sky
Ed's got the looks of a movie star
Ed's got the smile of a prince
He'd ride a bike instead of a car
I'll always be his friend

Going to the run, run Angel
Going to the run, run Angel
And his wings started to shine so bright
Like a fire in the night
Going to the run, forever Angel

Going to the run, run Angel
Forever going to the run, run Angel
Well, heaven and hell came together that night
Only for you this time
Going to the run, forever Angel


12. RADAR LOVE

I've been drivin' all night,
My hand's wet on the wheel
There's a voice in my head
That drives my heel
It's my baby callin',
Says: I need you here
And it's a half past four
And I'm shifting gear

When she is lonely
And the longing gets too much
She sends a cable
Coming in from above
Don't need a phone at all

We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a wave in the air,
Radar Love

The radio's playing some forgotten song
Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong"
The road has got me hypnotized
And I'm speeding into a new sunrise

When I get lonely,
And I'm sure I've had enough
She sends her comfort,
Comin' in from above
Don't need a letter at all

We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a line in the sky,
Radar Love

No more speed, I'm almost there
Gotta keep cool now, gotta take care
Last car to pass, here I go
And the line of cars drove down real slow

And the radio played that forgotten song
Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong"
And the newsman sang his same song
One more radar love is gone

When I get lonely and I'm sure I've had enough
She sends her comfort, coming in from above
We don't need no letter at all

We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a line in the sky
We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a thing that's called,
Radar Love


13. SHE FLIES ON STRANGE WINGS

Lonely is the night without you
Just as lonely as the shepherd without sheep
And where flies the falcon,
In the high sweet air
Without hunting this Sprane Valleys deer

She wears softness as a gown
She spreads magic all around
Her feathers still untouched
She takes but nothing and she gives so much

She flies on strange wings
She flies on strange winds
She brings strange things
She flies on strange wings

She takes off when she desires
Silence grows on her lips
She can bring you so much higher
She spreads love on all her trips, yeah

She flies on strange wings
She flies on strange winds
She brings strange things
She flies on strange wings

Woke up this morning
And this feeling came to my head
To fly with her from sky to sky
'Cause my mind seemed to be dead
So I floated up towards her
On my mutilated wings
But all the blackness sings against me now
It's the lady of the strange wings

She wears softness as a gown
She spreads magic all around
Her feathers still untouched
She takes but nothing and she gives so much

She flies on strange...

1. EVIL LOVE-CHAIN

She took my money, she stole my car
Broke my heart and smashed my guitar
She slandered my name and laughed in my face
And on Saturday night she went and trashed the whole place

She's drivin' me crazy, beyond insane
She plays with my mind, as if it's a game
And most of all stranger than strange
I come beggin' for more again and again

I can't break away, from the circle of pain
I can't break away this evil love-chain

She's mean when she's happy, cruel when she's sad
She finds something good, and she turns it to bad
She's young and good looking, and shakes the whole bed
While black magic voodoo, lives inside her head
The girl is a menace, a danger, a threat
Can't get no worse, she's as bad as it gets
She looks like a princess, but I know instead
She's Dracula's daughter, and the angel of death

She's drivin' me crazy, beyond insane
She plays with my mind, as if it's a game
And most of all stranger than strange
I come beggin' for more again and again

I can't break away, from the circle of pain
I can't break away this evil love-chain

5. FUTURE

You better get out of the line of fire
If you wanna stay alive
I always knew it would take a liar
In this brave new world to survive

It's gonna happen in the future
It didn't happen in the past

Rule and divide and control the seven seas
Your power and pride guarantee defeat
So fine, your lips on mine light a dangerous flame
When love grows in exile, it'll find you back again

They shot you down on the steps of a white house
Climbin' out to rescue me
They said you made a giant step for mankind
And the plate's still empty, "c'est la vie"

It's gonna happen in the future
It didn't happen in the past

13. BOMBAY

Bombay seems lost in dreams
When the pipes let off steam
In a backroom, somewhere, anywhere in L.A.
Next payday comes, I'll be gone
By boats and planes, it's pre-arranged
You can't catch me, I'm on my way back to Bombay

Bombay, Bombay, Bombay, Bombay
Ain't gonna leave no trace
Gonna wash away my face
In the Bombay river
I'm gonna settle
I'm gonna stay in Bombay

I'm gonna trade my past
For a new life at last
Sit back and have another blast
If I die, Kamasutra's the reason why
Kama, kama, kama, kamasutra,
Kama, kama, I surrender

Bombay, Bombay, Bombay, Bombay
Ain't gonna leave no trace
Gonna wash away my face
In the Bombay river
I'm gonna settle
I'm gonna stay in Bombay

Bombay, Bombay...


14. WHEN THE LADY SMILES

When the lady smiles,
You know it drives me wild
Her lips are warm and resourceful
When her fingertips,
Go drawing circles in the night
Then the mood is soft and sensual, hu-u
And I love it, yeah I love it
It's the answer to all my dreams
Every time it feels like the earth is shakin'
It doesn't matter, a glass is fallin',
I hear it shatter,
Maybe it's raining, faster and faster, shadow dancin'
Together oh I, I'm a bettin' on the game of love
Oh oh oh I, I'm bettin' that love is gonna come out
When the walls no longer shout, back at me
And I'm feelin' proud

When the lady smiles,
She holds me in her hand
As a matter of fact,
She could always let me down
But when the lady smiles,
I can't resist her call
As a matter of fact,
I don't resist at all
'Cos I'm walking on clouds
And she is leadin' the way

My friends tell me,
She's the beast inside your paradise
I guess you've heard it all before
A fallen angel,
That has got you hypnotized
And that always needs some more, hu-u
And I love it, yeah I love it
She's done nothin' to mislead me
'Cos every time we meet,
The earth is shakin'
It doesn't matter, a glass is fallin'
I hear it shatter , maybe it's rainin'
Faster and faster, shadow dancin'
Together oh I, I'm bettin' on the game of love
Oh oh oh I, I'm bettin' that love is gonna come out
When the walls no longer shout, back at mea
Nd I'm feeling proud

When the lady smiles,
She holds me in her hand
As a matter of fact, she could always let me down
But when the lady smiles,
I can't resist her call
As a matter of fact,
I don't resist at all
'Cos we're walkin' on clouds
And she is leadin' the way

Oh no, oh no, oh nooooo....

16. JOHNNY MAKE BELIEVE

Waitress, more wine
We celebrate, the life and times of Johnny Make Believe
He was the greatest liar, of all mankind
The biggest drunk, you ever saw alive
He was a devil, undisguised
He will be sorely missed tonight

And the next day, will never be the same
Without the beautiful Johnny Make Believe

So let's get high, laugh till we cry
Always remember, his last words
"Farewell cruel world, all you pretty girls,
Don't send me flowers, hold me in your dreams"
And then the spirit in the bottle
Took our Johnny for a ride
Come on waitress, pour us more wine
To drown our grief
For Johnny Make Believe

He tattooed my heart, branded my soul
He said: Go for true love, not for fool's gold

So let's get high, laugh till we cry
Always remember, his last words
"Farewell cruel world, all you pretty girls
Don't send me flowers, hold me in your dreams"
And then the spirit in the bottle
Took our Johnny for a ride
Come on waitress, pour us more wine
To drown our grief
For Johnny Make Believe

La, la, la, lala, la, la, la, la....

20. LONG BLOND ANIMAL

Get out of my parlour, won't you
Get out of my life
Put on that crazy raincoat
You're gonna need it tonight

Get out of my parlour
For I cut you with a knife
Don't want your disease
Don't need your silly jive

I was an innocent by-stander
I was middle of the roadman for you
Then you took me for a ride, now baby
Showed me all the things you could do
I always listen to the good looking lady
A mistake I won't make no more
'Cause you might be a good-looking lady
You're rotten to the core
You're all fucked up

I've been under your influence
Under your spell too long
Now people keep me at a distance
Everything I do is wrong
My brain's disintegrating
Devil's singing my song
This cannot continue
This cannot go on
You're nothing but a long blond animal

22. HOLY HOLY LIFE

In bad times when it's dark and cold
You got no place to rest your soul
There's laughter behind your backs
Then it seems the devil rules the deck

Nothin' seems easy these days
Or do I see it in a different way
The world is spinnin', well that's OK
Tell me baby what's the price we pay

Holy holy life, sometimes is lonely
Holy holy life, sometimes is sad
Holy holy life, sometimes is phony
The sooner or later, they'll find you dead

Why don't you take me down to a rabbit hole
Where a man of peace can hide his soul
Thinkin' about pollution and a birth-control
Better talk to the rabbits, it's somebody's fault

Or maybe sometimes I'm pessimistic
And maybe it ain't so bad, it ain't so sick
I know I'm not the man of constant sorrow
And tell me is it the path of evil to follow

Holy holy life, sometimes is lonely
Holy holy life, sometimes is sad
Holy holy life, sometimes is phony
Or sooner or later, they'll find you dead

Holy holy life, sometimes is lonely
Sometimes is phony, sometimes is sad
Holy holy life, sometimes is lonely
Sometimes is phony, sometimes is sad, so sad
Holy holy life, sometimes is lonely
Sometimes is phony, sometimes is sad, so so sad
Holy holy life, sometimes is lonely
Sometimes is phony, sometimes is sad
Holy, holy, holy
