1. THE HAMMER OF LOVE

I'm a-runnin' on empty and my good-luck charm
It's like a mojo workin' `gainst this heart of mine
Just a split second for my heart to know
It wouldn't take long to fall for you

And it hurts like hell
And I know it shows
Taking me down with a single blow
That's what you get when you been hit

By the hammer of love,
Hit, by the hammer of love
Hit, by the hammer of love
The hammer of love, the hammer of love

I'm defying all the laws of gravity
Floating on air and with sympathy
The doctor says you're runnin' outta luck
Cause you've been struck by the hammer of love

And it hurts like hell
And I know it shows
Taking me down with a single blow
That's what you get when you been hit

By the hammer of love
Hit, by the hammer of love
Hit, by the hammer of love
The hammer of love, the hammer of love

Right on the head
Like a ton of bricks
It's like a ringing the bell
Yeah, and you know, you know
That it hurts like hell
And I know it shows
Taking me down with a single blow

You've been hit by the hammer of love
You've been hit by the hammer of love
The hammer of love, the hammer of love


2. ALBINO MOON

Well you look real good in your blue-jeans
And a pink sweater
But in a cocktail dress I guess
You look even better
I got your photographs and the memories
Lined up on the table
But you're gone with the wind and I wish I was dead
Just like Clark Gable

The sun goes down for a lonely fool
Like darkness in the temple of doom
I need a guiding light
Tell me, what am I supposed to do

Albino Moon
Where you been tonight?
Hidin' behind a cloud, Albino Moon
Albino Moon
What's it all about?
Hidin' behind a cloud
Albino Moon

Am I blind or am I right
Pour your light into my room
Make my baby find her way back home, real soon
Albino Moon

Put your red lips on my daydream
Imagine we're together
In the back-seat of my car
On the shiny white leather
I got your photographs and the memories
Lined up on the table
But you're gone with the wind and I wish I was dead
Just like Clark Gable

The sun goes down for a lonely fool
Like darkness in the temple of doom
I need a guiding light
Tell me, what am I supposed to do

Albino Moon
Where you been tonight?
Hidin' behind a cloud, Albino Moon
Albino Moon
What's it all about?
Hidin' behind a cloud
Albino Moon

Am I blind or am I right
Pour your light into my room
Make my baby find her way back home, real soon
Albino Moon

Albino Moon, Albino Moon
Hu hu, hu hu, hu hu, hu hu


3. SKYSCRAPER 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


4. A SOUND I NEVER HEARD

I'm kicking down the road
I got my top hat on
With my head in overload
I heard a radio song

There was something in the air
I think I know it well
Watchin' everybody stare
You know I never tell

You knocked me to the floor
With a sound I've never heard
You knocked me to the floor
With a sound I've never heard
With a sound I've never heard

I was walking down the street
Saw you sneakin' out your house
Now who you're gonna meet
In the criminal hour
Saw you sneak right through the door
You whispered just a word
Then you knocked me to the floor
With a sound I never heard

You knocked me to the floor
With a sound I've never heard
You knocked me to the floor
With a sound I've never heard
With a sound I've never heard


5. YOU'RE BETTER OFF DEAD

I'm kicking down the road
I got my top hat on
With my head in overload
I heard a radio song

There was something in the air
I think I know it well
Watchin' everybody stare
You know I never tell

You knocked me to the floor
With a sound I've never heard
You knocked me to the floor
With a sound I've never heard
With a sound I've never heard

I was walking down the street
Saw you sneakin' out your house
Now who you're gonna meet
In the criminal hour
Saw you sneak right through the door
You whispered just a word
Then you knocked me to the floor
With a sound I never heard

You knocked me to the floor
With a sound I've never heard
You knocked me to the floor
With a sound I've never heard
With a sound I've never heard


6. COLOURBLIND

Colourblind, risking your life
A brush stroke and a rooftop dive
Eccentric hero in a hookers bed
A dog without a leash, a sirloin fed
Breakable heart, I believe you said
If life's a shadow, gimme a shot in the head
If life's a shadow, gimme a shot in the head

Colourblind, slightly cock-eyed
The world at your feet in the city tonight
Burning like a flame instead of hanging
Like a puppet from a spiders' web
Unbeatable heart, I think you said
If life's a dream, gimme a shot in the head
If life's a dream, gimme a shot in the head

Welcome home baby, the skies are red
The clouds are blue and the streets are wet
Welcome home baby, the drinks are free
Your face is green in the neon-light
Welcome home baby, farewell goodbye

Colourblind, before the paint dries
Saturday night, one more time
Eccentric hero in a hookers bed
A dog without a leash, a sirloin fed
Unbeatable heart, I think you said
If life's a dream, gimme a shot in the head
If life's a dream, gimme a shot in the head

Welcome home baby, the skies are red
The clouds are grey and the streets are wet
Welcome home baby, the drinks are free
Your face is green in the neon-light
Welcome home baby, farewell goodbye

Welcome home baby, the skies are red
The clouds are blue and the streets are wet
Welcome home baby, the drinks are free
Your face is green in the neon-light
Welcome home baby, farewell goodbye


7. ON A NIGHT LIKE YOU

You know the first time I saw the X-Files
I was stoned as usual
Here comes Scully walking in
Zappin' through the Cartwrights
Fox Mulder went and lost his gun
He keeps holding on to the flashlight

Shining bright on lost memories
Scully, I can't forget your sweet sixteen
I'm not an alien
I fear it's not a dream
I wish you'd recognize the voice
That sang your favourite song

At Kansas City Airport
Got the jukebox on wheels, hello
There's a Talkin' Head silently
Tappin' on my shoulder
I'm standing there I'm stunned
Flying high as a kite
My hero he turns out to be
Just an ordinary guy
Lickin' on a lollypop
Looking insecure
One look in his eyes and I knew for sure
I might never come this close, to a rising star
I may be crazy, but he killed me with that song

And oh, on a night like you (3x)
When memories explode....

Faster, faster
It's pure delight
Flashing past and blinding my eyes
Memories you've been trying to blow away
Keep on coming back again

The band is in the basement
It's Saturday night
In Richmond, VA after a gig with The Pie
Seeing it all through the clouds of my birthday surprise
Delicious Donna decides to write a new episode

I remember being introduced
Stevie's face was small
He just kept me reeling
Man, we were laughing at the dark
Getting ready to march all the way back home to Mars
One last fuel stop at Itchycoo Park

And oh, on a night like you (3x)
When memories tend to explode


8. KINGFISHER

Kingfisher's eyes shine as black as coal
On the edge of the morning
Gaze at me from across the room
The candle light....dying

Music it sounds like a waterfall
Makes you feel like you're drowning
Kingfisher's eyes, you're like black pearl
SWatchin' the ghosts, surround me

Dragon, demon, goblin, gorgon,
Savage-ly tryin' to drag me down!!

The Candy Man's at the door again
Ringing the bell, I won't let him in
There's a storm a-raging inside my brain
Playing tricks with me in the dark

Don't believe a single word
That your ears have ever heard

Dragon, demon, goblin, gorgon,
Savage-ly tryin' to drag me down!!

The Vagabond outside he knows
The medicine don't work no more
The hurricane inside my head
Is nailing me to the floor

Don't believe a single word
That your ears have ever heard

Picking up the pieces now
Wipe the sweat from off my brow
By the cool light of the moon
Chase the ghosts out from my room
By the cool light of the moon
Kingfisher between me and you (2x)

Dragon, demon, goblin, gorgon,
Savage-ly tryin' to drag me down!!

The Candy Man's at the door again
Ringing the bell, I won't let him in
There's a storm a-raging inside my brain
Playing tricks with me in the dark

Don't believe a single word
That your ears have ever heard

Dragon, demon, goblin, gorgon,
Savage-ly tryin' to drag me down!!

Kingfisher's eyes shine as black as coal
On the edge of the morning
Gaze at me from across the room
The candle light....dying


9. COMING IN GOING OUT

In the morning when I wake up
I recover from a dream
And beside me is my sweet heart
Still asleep innocently

Turn the tap on
Splash some water
On my cheeks and suddenly
I remember in the mirror
Who I am and where I've been

Coming in, looking out
Lookin' in, findin' out
Coming in, looking out
Lookin' in and going out

There's a postcard on the doorstep
With a stamp I've never seen
And a stray dog says good morning
To the sunshine I believe

Every minute, every hour
Ever time-out, go between
God keeps trying new inventions
For a bullet on a broken wing
And the Lord knows
It's a smoke screen
Messin' up again
Bless my soul
You're in control now

Coming in, looking out
Lookin' in, findin' out
Coming in, looking out
Lookin' in and going out

Coming in, looking out
Lookin' in, findin' out
Coming in, looking out
Lookin' in and going out


10. THE THIEF

The Thief is in the parking lot
The thief is at your door
The thief, he leaves the broken glass
While you been scrapin' dollars
Just to pay high rent
He comes a-prowlin' in the dead of night

La la la la la la la la la la

The thief is in without a knock
The thief is on the stairs
Guess who's here to ruin your life
He just come and go without leavin' fingerprints
And never say goodbye

La la la la la la la la la la

Take what's mine - everything I live for
Take your time - all that you desire
Take what's mine, but you can't have my soul

So all you pretty girls
And all you handsome boys
Hold on to your heart
When you hear suspicious noise yeah

La la la la la la la la la la

Take what's mine - nothin' left to live for
Take what's mine - sneakin' out the window
Take what's mine, Take your time
Take what's mine - everything I paid for
Take your time - leave me on the sidewalk
Take what's mine, Take your time
Take what's mine - anything worth stealing
Take your time - you can hurt my feelings
Take what's mine, take what's mine
But you can't have my soul


11. BEAUTIFUL BLUE

They got gadgets for sale, pretty girls
Fat motorcycles and fast cars too
They got the coolest fashion in fishing gear
Everybody's hooked on cannibal food
Everybody's hooked on cannibal food
Everybody's hooked on cannibal food oh yeah

They all live together in this crazy town
Wide awake and waiting for you
G-strings up their pretty cracks
And pussies shaved as smooth as glass
Pussies shaved as smooth as glass
Pussies shaved as smooth as glass oh yeah

The only way to save your life
Is to run away with the speed of light
To run away with the speed of light
To run away with the speed of light
This place was made to kill you
It's name was meant to fool you

Beautiful blue

They got nightclubs on fire, say no more
Sick individuals in stereo
The next thing to crackin' is expensive fear
Everybody diggin' for the virgin blow
Everybody diggin' for the virgin blow
Everybody diggin' for the virgin blow oh yeah

Living together in this crazy world
Wide awake and waitin' for you
They got giant dicks hanging down their slacks
And smiles that swing like modern jazz
Smiles that swing like modern jazz
Smiles that swing like modern jazz oh yeah

Well the only way to save your life
Is to run away with the speed of light
Is to run away with the speed of light
Is to run away with the speed of light
This place was meant to kill you
It's name was made to fool you

Beautiful blue, beautiful blue
Beautiful blue, beautiful blue
Aha, aha, aha, aha


12. LOVE IS A LOSER

Love is a loser when lust takes over
When lust takes over and comes around
I'm just a target of fixation
Of fascination unbound
I forget everything I ever learned
Between the sheets I'm sinning God
A true believer
Instead of jacking off
Could you please ask Jesus
Could you please ask Jesus
Could you please ask Jesus
For one more blow job

Love is a loser when lust walks in
When lust walks in through the door
And leaves it's clothes in the corner
Casually on the floor
I forget everything I ever learned
To the sheets I'm sinning God
A true believer
Instead of jacking off
Could you please ask Jesus
Could you please ask Jesus
Could you please ask Jesus
And never never make it stop

I forget everything I ever learned
Between the sheets I'm sinning God
A true believer
Instead of jacking off
Could you please ask Jesus
Could you please ask Jesus
Could you please ask Jesus
For one more blow job


13. THE LAST FRONTIER HOTEL

Turn on your lights Las Vegas
Light up the desert sky
There's no one waiting for me
At the Last Frontier Hotel
At the Last Frontier Hotel

I'm feeling tired and hungry
And I'm weary to the bone
Rode ten thousand miles to get here
To justify my soul
To justify my soul

One last drink and one more smoke
And a one way ticket to the end of the show

Na na na na na, na na na na na
Na na na na na, na na na na na

Coming back to you Sin City
I heard your devil call
I'll kill my past to stay here
Carve my name on your wall
I'll carve my name on your wall

I'm feeling tired and hungry
I can see the curtain fall
Rode ten thousand miles to get here
To justify my soul
To justify my soul

One last drink and one more smoke
And a one way ticket to the end of the show

Na na na na na, na na na na na
Na na na na na, na na na na na

(Voice:)
Turn on your lights Las Vegas
Light up the desert sky
There's no one waiting for me
At the Last Frontier Hotel
