ALL'S QUIET ON THE EASTERN FRONT 2.12 (Dee Dee Ramone)

Watch the watch the way I walk
Can't you think my movements talk
Watch the watch the way I walk
Can't you think my movements talk

See me silently quietly creep I am too
amped up to sleep lamp rays shining down
Street lamps make the bussing sound subway
Creaking down below garbage piled up and ready to go

Lock the windows the gates on taxi in the
Distance coming along stalking the streets
Till the break of day New York beauty take my
Breath away near some cats but dog's don't
bark cool cats strolling after dark

Watch the watch the way I walk
Can't you think my movements talk
Watch the watch the way I walk
Can't you think my movements talk

Shaky lock and kicky door smokey air that
I adore down in the alley is where I hunt
All is quiet on the eastern front

Stalking the streets till the break of day
New York beauty take my breath away

Watch the watch the way I walk
Can't you think my movements talk
Watch the watch the way I walk
Can't you think my movements talk
Can't you think my movements talk
Can't you think my movements talk

YOU SOUND LIKE YOU ARE SICK 2.40 (Dee Dee Ramone)

Well I can't understand anything about you
Help you if I can what can I do

Here's your new home that's where you must be
Is the institution 'cause you're so lazy

But if you must act up again & again
'Cause everybody knows you're a hopeless problem

Here's your new home that's where you must be
Is the institution 'cause you're so lazy

You sound like you're sick you look like you're
Sick too you sound like you're sick

But if you must act up But if you must act up
You sound like you're sick You sound like you're sick

Well I can't understand anything about you (repeat verse)

You sound like you're sick you look like you're
Sick too you sound like you're sick

You sound like you're sick you look like you're
Sick too well you sound like you're sick

My baby and it crushed my soul now all I've
Got is sorrow and pain standing out here
In the rain the crash, shattering glass,
The sirens and pain is driving me insade oh-yeah

Sitting in my room humming a sickening tune
Sitting in my room something to do soon

We know what we think of them the problems just
Keep piling in they got complaints about everything
