CD 1


1. WHO DO YOU LOVE

I walk 47 miles of barbed-wire
Wear a cobra snake for a neck-tie
Got a brand new house built on a hill
Made out a rattle snake hide
I got a great big chimney way on the top
Made out of human skulls
So come on over here, you cute little thing
And tell me now, who do you love
Who do you love, who do you love

A voodoo man, he took me by the hand
He said: woo baby, I can understand
Crushed a bone on a ju-ju stone
Rolled his eyes and he cast a spell
Said: who do you love
Who do you love, who do you love, who do you love

The light was black and the night was blue
And down the alley I crept on through
A shot of a pistol, somebody screamed
You should a heard just what I seen
Who do you love, who do you love
Who do you love, who do you love

I got a tombstone head and a graveyard mind
I'm just twenty-two and I ain't stole a dime
Got the eyes of a wolf, and a gator smile
I lived long enough, and I don't mind dyin'
Who do you love, who do you love
Who do you love, who do you love


2. BUDDY JOE

Let me tell you about Buddy Joe
When he came down from Mexico
With his pockets full of gold
With his pockets full of gold

Have you something to declare
Are you sure there's nothing there
'Cos if there is, don't say
You've not been told

Oh, Buddy Joe
What have they done with the gold
Well, I don't really know

Well Buddy Joe searched all his life
Through Mexico, all the riversides
Not for the money, but for the gold
He needs to hold

Well Buddy Joe was proud as he was
Could not stand all the fuss
When they got to all his gold
He was ready to go

Oh, Buddy Joe
What have they done with the gold
I don't really know

Well you'll understand he didn't stand a chance
Everybody was shouting commands
When Buddy Joe split in a hurry
He was ready to be buried

Oh Buddy Joe
What have they done with the gold
I don't really know


3. 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....


4. QUIET EYES

Tony, my head is on a pillow
Clock strikes, it's the count of four
Four hours of tossin' and turnin'
In a big brass bed
I've tried all the tricks in the book now
But I just can't sleep no more
Tony, what's happenin' to me
I'm tired and I'm cold
Somehow I'm imagining things
Movin' in the shadow
And my face is a painting crying
In the heat of the sun

Let the world outside, pay it's dues
I'll never know why, no matter how high
It's a sign that's been sealed and delivered
Tony, it's lookin' into your
Quiet eyes, silent tears
Silent as the night you deserted me
Quiet eyes, silent tears
Silence, and the night lasted seven years

Meanwhile I'm counting all the hours
And I've counted all the days
On the pages of a calendar
And I threw it all away
Tony, I'm tryin' to make some sense babe
I'm always tryin' to get through to you
Maybe you're the last one to notice
How much I've been lovin' you

Let the world outside, pay it's dues
I'll never know why, no matter how high
It's a sign that's been sealed and delivered
Tony, it's lookin' into your
Quiet eyes, silent tears
Silent as the night you deserted me
Quiet eyes, silent tears
Silent as the night you deserted me
Quiet eyes, silent tears
Silence, and the night lasted seven years


5. 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


6. 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.....


7. BURNING STUNTMAN

Specialize in danger, I'm from Niagara Falls
And now I sit here waitin'
Like an idiot for your call
Words cannot explain
That rattlesnake in my bones
Guess it's time to face the truth
I stand here licked by love
And in the name of love

I wanna go go go, like a burning stuntman

I fry exposed to fire of course
Choke up while I'm breathin' smoke
Come on quench the fire inside my soul
I wanna go go go

Slumberin' volcano, a bout to explode
Puttin' on a smile and then
You're takin' of your clothes
Words cannot explain
My heart's red pepper blue
And my blood goes boilin'
Every time I look at you
I'm in danger, how about you

I wanna go go go, like a burning stuntman

You fry exposed to fire of course
Like a flame whisperin' to a moth
Come on quench the fire inside my heart

I wanna go go go
Like a burning stuntman
Like a burning stuntman........


8. MOOD INDIGO

A taste of breath, a kiss sweeter than honey
Your eyes a misty dream, a million miles away
And in my ear, you whisper my name
Just like in some old news flash
From light years ago

Van Dyke's on the slide trombone
Through the smoke of the party room
Your teeth like the Ivory Coast
Start singin' my favorite song
And it happen' to be mood indigo

Mood indigo I just go weak,
When I hear Mood indigo
Could last for weeks,
Until I decide to wake up
Before I break up

Holdin' on to my heart,
Smokin' them down hills
In a room number thirteen,
Tryin' to stretch my luck again
Down the corridor, y
Our footsteps echo against the wall
My date with mystery,
My girl from Sin City
Tonight I'm gonna sacrifice,
For the first time in my life
Make it all come back to me,
Like an old forgotten dream


9. WHERE WILL I BE

Where will I be
When the sun won't shine anymore
Where will I be
When the moon won't smile anymore
Where will I be, where will I be

Maybe there's a place to hide from the frost
A place where life can get lost
Until then the end is near
And the skies will never be clear

Where will I be
When the sun ain't shining
Where will I be
When the moon ain't smiling
Where will I be

Where will I be
When the children stop crying
Where will I be
When the sun comes near flying

Faster than a bird
Is this again the birth of the earth
No place to hide from the warmth
Where the rays can do no harm

Where will I be
When the sun is burning
Where will I be
When man is yearning, for deliverance
Now, where will I be

Where will I be
When the children stop crying
Where will I be
When the sun comes near flying
Faster than a bird
Is this again the birth of the earth
No place to hide from the warmth
Where the rays can do no harm
Where will I be
When the sun ain't shining
Where will I be
When the moon ain't smiling
Where will I be

Where will I be
When the sun is burning
Where will I be
When man is yearning, for deliverance
Where will I be


10. THIS WHEEL'S ON FIRE

If your memory serves you well
We were gonna meet again and wait
So I'm goin' to unpack all my things
And sit before it gets too late
No man alive will come to you
With another tale to tell
But you know that we shall meet again
If your memory serves you well

This wheel's on fire, rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin, this wheel shall explode

If your memory serves you well
I was goin' to confiscate your lace
And wrap it up in a sailor's knot
And hide it in your case
If I knew for sure that it was yours
But it was oh so hard to tell
And you knew that we would meet again
If your memory serves you well

Wheel's on fire, rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin, this wheel shall explode

If your memory serves you well
You'll remember you're the one
That called on me to call on them
To get you your favors done
And after every plan had failed
And there was nothing more to tell
You knew that we would meet again
If your memory serves you well

This wheel's on fire, rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin, this wheel shall explode


11. 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....


12. 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....


13. THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT

All set, court's in session
This judge, got no compassion
Witness, show me your right hand
I swear, nothing but the truth now

I was alright till she came along
I was alright, then it all went wrong

The devil made me do it, oh, oh, oh,oh
It was the act of a man possessed, now
The devil made me do it, oh, oh ,oh, oh
Your honor, I am innocent

D.A.'s, got a mighty strong case
Lawman, saw the whole thing
Confess, yeah I stole that fur coat
Confess, yeah I stole a BMW
Confess, I was only trying, to keep my baby satisfied
Bullshit, that's the truth now
Bullshit, so help me God

I was alright till she came along
I was alright, then it all went wrong

The devil made me do it, oh, oh, oh,oh
It was an act of a man possessed, now
The devil made me do it , oh, oh, oh, oh
Your honor, I am innocent

You should have seen her slide out of her negligee
Her skin was hot, touch intoxicating
And if you were me , you would have done the same
So spare me the gutter, save me from the ball and chain

The devil made me do it, oh, oh, oh, oh
It was an act of a man possessed now
The devil made me do it, oh, oh, oh, oh
Your honor, I am innocent


CD 2


1. PARADISE IN DISTRESS

Devil just bought a brand new
Devil just bought a brand new
Devil just bought a brand new penthouse in heaven
There goes the old neighbourhood
There goes the old neighbourhood
There goes the good old neighbourhood on a one way trip to hell
(Shake you sinner)

Jesus won't drive nothin' but a shiny white Mercedes
And all the angels gotta settle for second hand Oldsmobile's
The virgin Mary loses faith and starts a chain-reaction
The Lord just stands there weepin' bitter tears in the rain
Ain't that a shame...
(Shake you sinner!)

Almost as if the bad guys, got the good guys on the run
All in the line of expectation, in the eyes of the evil one
Like a mad bull chargin' through a closet of porcelain 'Made in China'
Saddlin' up the righteous, with nightmares full of trauma

Devil just bought a brand new
Devil just bought a brand new
Devil just bought a brand new penthouse in heaven
There goes the old neighbourhood
There goes the old neighbourhood
There goes the good old neighbourhood movin' on down to hell

There's no one here, there's nothin' left
No one here to kiss or bless
This damp and dark unholy mess
You could say: Paradise in distress
(Shake you sinner)

Behind the clouds there's a silver line
The sun just can't stop waitin'
To put a shine on a clear blue sky
And kill the pessimist in me
Meanwhile, there's no one here, there's nothin' left
No one here to kiss or bless
This damp and dark unholy mess
You could say: Paradise in distress
(Shake you sinner)


2. APOCALYPSE

I've been faster, than my own shadow
I've been colder, than an ice pick you know
What really matters, is a heart of gold
And a whole lotta money, and a fat checkbook

Been a gambler, had nothing better to do
Been crazy for fools like you
What really matters is, make a dream come true
I ain't playing with fire no more
Ain't gonna play with fire no more

Well I was walking down the street, in my Italian shoes
I was minding my own business, just goin' with the flow
I could feel the hot sunshine, on my back
I started singin' to the rhythm of the city noise
I said Yeah yeah yeah

Well I was knockin' opportunity right on its head
In my silver coloured suit and my Panama hat
Yeah, I had nothin' to fear, I had places to go
And I swear I felt lightnin' in my bones
I said yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Down, down, down the Apocalypse
Down, down, down with negative
Down, down my dice come a-rollin'
Down, down with a double-six evidence
Down deep the sound of my heart I believe
Tells me life's there for lovin' it!
Oh, oh yeah... (through the air)

Well I'm tap-dancing', floatin' on thin air
High on nothin', 'xcept sweet adrenalin
And I see somethin' behind a tree
It's the mother of God, got her eyes on me
She says yeah, yeah, yeah.....


3. 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


4. DARLING

Would you recognize me, or identify me
Try to hypnotize me, with a blindfold on
Like an animal, like a demon
Like a criminal, hidin' from the light

Oh my darling, Oh my darling
Just like the riptide,
Escape my desire
Hear me callin',
See me crawlin'
Like a reptile
In the midnight

Hungry butterfly, cruel vampire
In the shadow, out of sight
Sometimes all my dreams, turn into nightmares
I need you more and more and moreS
Cared of dying, bored with life
Your illusions sacrificed
Walk in silence, through the night
Fade into the lost moonlight

Oh my darling, Oh my darling
Just like the riptide,
Escape my desire
Hear me callin',
See me crawlin'
Like a reptile
In the midnight


5. TAKE MY HAND - CLOSE MY EYES

Why am I tonight, feelin' so low
My poor head is spinnin' round and round and round
Could it be that, by a total lack of love
In fact I'm busy, dyin'
Tell me where or when,
Tell me how I'll go
Am I invited to your dreams,
I'd like to know
Why I tremble and talk in my sleep
Maybe only time will take away the pain

Take my hand - close my eyes
Lead me back into your paradise

I ain't wakin' up, I'm too tired you know
Like a drifter by the side of a dusty road
What if you found me in the middle of the night
Would it matter, I'm down and out alright
I am brain-dead, I'm invisible
I am drowning in a river called "Vertigo"
And the moonlight, such a sad night
Now that love ain't coming 'round no more

Take my hand - close my eyes
Lead me back into your paradise


6. THE FIGHTER

He was young when I first saw him, maybe 19 or so
And I knew he could go places, he'd never dreamed he'd go
There was a certain something, impossible to hide
Dynamite in both his hands, it swept 'm all aside
So they nicknamed him the Killer, and he lived up to that name
The guys that tried to fight him, never came out quite the same
And man, the crowd just loved him, in those up and coming days
Carried him on their shoulders, while they showered him with praise

Well, they loved him like a brother, 'cause he gave 'm all the thrill
Scarin' shit about no self defense, only going for the kill
He took a beating now and then, but stood there young and tough
Never thought of backing up, when the going got too rough
He came down like a shockwave, the title easily won
He just tore in there man, punching, taking two and landing one
But that avalanche of punches, eventually took it's toll
Like a constant drip of water, wears down the hardest stone

And we all saw it coming, the inevitable fall
The night he lost his title, and the title wasn't all
He just started slippin', down skids slicker than grease
His drawing power faded, and the hero-worship ceased
But he couldn't stop the fighting, custom-made for the trade
While he blew away the money, on friends success had made
I saw him fight again last night, I wish I had been spared
The sight of that poor old wreck, for whom nobody no longer cared

His eyes had lost their sparkle, his legs had lost their spring
And really, it was pathetic, the way he stumbled thru' the ring
While an upstart punched him dizzy, punched him silly bell to bell
The lust mad hungry wolf-pack, rode him to a far-ye-well
Here's the same punks, who once worshipped his shrine when he was king
Calling him a coward, as he was groping 'round the ring
But he didn't seem to notice, I thought he'll fight until he's dead
He'll stay in there and take it, and keep the wolf-pack fed

They gave 'm his youth and all his power, now they were tearing him apart
My eyes grew dim and misty, for that brave and gallant heart
Man, if only I could have my way, I'd know exactly what to do
I'd pitch 'm right in there with him, one by one and two by two

I'd see him bash their empty heads, egg-like broken shells
I'd jump up on my chair and yell for blood while down they fell
I'd see 'm beg for mercy, groaning in the night
What's wrong you guys, can't you take it
Come on you scum and fight

Killer - killer - killer - killer


7. ONE NIGHT WITHOUT YOU

Don't care where you've been
(Last night, last night)
I don't care, but I hate to lose control
(Uptight, uptight)
I get emotional
(Headaches, bad vibes)
Bein' here just on my own,
Waitin' for someone like you

They say, alcohol and cigarettes,
Are worth dyin' for
Your gamble is a bet,
I just can't afford

One night, one night without you

I'm dying, but I'm wide awake
(Getting angry)
You're a sinner and you ain't no saint for sure
(Sounds like, she's a hardcore)
Can't live without your love
(He's innocent, she's a whore)
Bein' here just on my own,
Waitin' for someone like you

They say, alcohol and cigarettes,
Are worth dyin' forYour gamble is a bet,
I just can't afford

One night, one night without you


8. WHISPER IN A CROWD

You can't play with feelings
The way you sometimes do
And hide your true intentions
Behind those eyes so blue

Always pretending
You're nobody's fool
Now until forever
The world was made for you

You cheat, you lie
You hurt, my pride
You fake desire
Upset my life
You fly solo,
Make up your own rule
You break your word
As if I don't know

Whisper in a crowd
Just like a silent scream
Ah ah ah ah,
No one, will hear
Your cry of fear

You made your seven wishes
None of them came true
Like your expectations
You gotta face the truth


9. DÉJÀ VOODOO

In broad daylight, your clean cut town
Has turned into a hunting ground
And Mama don't need no crystal ball
To see the weight, that's coming down
25 hours a day, 25 hours a day
In the heart of night, it howls for more
The beast that prowls, the killing floor
And Mama don't need to read the cards
To tell you times are gettin' hard
25 hours a day, 25 hours a day

You've seen it before
It's been done to you
In another life, it spells taboo
Mama calls it
Mama calls it: Deja voodoo

When sweet turns to bitter, and not before
When wolves come scratchin', at your door
That's when mama's tea cup prophecy
Will tell you how it's gonna be
25 hours a day, 25 hours a day
Tomorrow rips up your yesterday
While it stars in your old passion play
And mama can hear the spirit's song
Singing in her head all night long
25 hours a day, 25 hours a day


10. BAD NEWS TO FALL IN LOVE (WITH A MEAN MOTHERFUCKER)

Don't try to put the blame on me
Every night I come stealin' home
You keep thinkin' I've been drinkin'
I've been missin' you, no, no

Damn sheriff ain't no friend of mine
Hand-coffin' my good times
Got no pity, show no mercy
Sure makes me think of you

He's so uptight
Downtown, can't get enough
Of the way I pay for love
Cause I'm ready, I got plenty
Who's complainin' when there's no more than enough

A deck of cards and a pair of dice
Make me feel twice as nice
The wheel's spinnin'
And I'm winnin'
'til I walk through the door
Like I said before:

It's bad news to fall in love (3x)
With a mean motherfucker

Half dead 'til the afternoon
Wake up feelin' cruel
You don't get it, I just said it
Pour the booze and fetch my silver spoon
Don't mind bein' critical
This love thing's pitiful
Why don't you let it
Fade and forget it
I'm bad news for a girl like you
And I'm warnin' you

It's bad news to fall in love (3x)
With a mean motherfucker


11. 42ND STREET

Spiraling leapers, wearing Nike sneakers
Some of them laugh, some of them sing
Some of them don't do a goddamn thing
Trip-skipping drifters, grafters and lifters
Chicks with big tits, school boys with zits
Moonlight circus of earthly delights
Pimpmobile cruising the soft velvet night
Deals going down, midnight in town
Down into the subways, the underground tunnels
A musician is playing, a drunk stumbles and mumbles
Out in the park it's scary with frights
Somebody shot out all the streetlights

Hookers and bookies, floozies and boozers
All kinds of misfits, perverts and losers
Out of the limo that looks like a boat
The pimp steps out in a mink fur coat
Sporting a Fedora, that creates its own aura
A ruby-tooth grin and a diamond stick pin
A deal's going down this side of town

People walk on fleet feet
On the way down 42nd Street
Except for the bums, down for the count
That one's dead but no one's found out
And look at the bitch, with her dress up ass
When she moves that thing, she must move it fast
Cop with a nightstick, checking around
A neon lit junkie slides to the ground
Here comes a flasher, a jogger, a punk
Check out that guy, drunk as a skunk
Blinking, reflection, lights melt in the rain
The sidewalks are empty, nothing's the same
4 A.M. people are crashing
Where the hookers are huddled
Colored raindrops are splashing
The deals have gone down, the bimbo's split town
Burned from the hustle, burned from the hype
But under the lights, I'm feeling alright
On 42nd Street, it's just another night


12. FLUID CONDUCTION

I've been sleepin' all day, slummin' all night
In a 44 hour sedation
Since the day you cut me outta your life
The night I killed your patience

Always try to lie to you
The truth is that I love you
Need you more than anything
Without you I discover
I'm a maniac and a menace
Headin' for destruction

Your lips I miss,
Your tears, your hips
Your piss, your blood, the way you function
Maybe I should thank some God
For your amazing fluid conduction

It was Max, the king of facts
He made me steal for your number
Promised not to tell on him
But you know me, I'm a sucker

Your lips I miss,
Your tears, your hips
Your piss, your blood,
The way you function
Maybe I should thank some God
For your amazing fluid conduction


13. DESPERATELY TRYING TO BE DIFFERENT

Lizzy the lizard, met an angry young snake
With forked-tongue grace, by the name of Jake
A yellow eyed diamond back rattler
In the chill-out room, of the 'wildlife saloon
She admired his skin, Jake said it was fake
And Liz said: "who cares, it don't really matter

A question to raise,
Why people these days
Like slaves to a craze

Are somehow hell bent,
Yet always content
With fortune's spent
On desperately tryin' to be different

Willy the weasel said to Sammy the snitch
Let's go to the dogs and bet on that bitch
The greyhound that runs like a panther
They made a big score, went to the hi-fashion store
They bought two suits of shark skin furs, ermine and mink
All decked out for the next chapter

Nancy the nympho, yelled at Lola La Leech
"I need a permanent wave with lots a bleach,
I wanna look like a cheap German dancer"
She could pass for a queen, in a second hand dream
Inside the gloom of the 'wildlife saloon
The wolf whistles, sounded just like laughter

A question to raise,
Why people these days
Like slaves to a craze

Are somehow hell bent,
Yet always content
With fortune's spent
On desperately tryin' to be different


14. 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
