Swallow This Live

It takes two to tango
In the heat of the night
You're gonna give it in
No matter how you fight

Hot nights, pretty women
And a bottle of gin
Fine floozy sitting pretty
In the city of sin
I'm knocking on your back door
Baby let me in

Chorus:
I'll take you down
Light your fuse baby
Set your soul on fire
Make your body sweat
Soaking wet
In the midnight hour

Step closer my seniorita
It's so nice to meet ya
I see your eyes say no
But your flesh is weak

Well sweet salt shaker
And rattle my bones
One more inch i'm gonna drive it home
Hate to see a pretty little woman all alone

Chorus

She said are you gonna nibble baby
Or are you gonna take yourself a bite
You invite me closer honey
And i just might

I don't want money or a big black car
I just wanna know how i'm doing so far
So far i'm gonna do you just right

Chorus

Did you ever get up on the wrong side of bed
With an achin' head and just fall apart?
You're running late, the boss is bitchin',
It's cold outside, and the car won't start

Well i don't mean to bitch i swear
Cause we all got our cross to bear

Chorus:
But when i hear the music
All my troubles just fade away
When i hear the music
Let it play, let it play
When i hear the music
Sure as darkness i can see the day
When i hear the music
Let it play
Let it play

Life's just rented space getting laid to waste
When the lines on my face say i'm growing older
Just a stitch in time gonna save my mind
When the weight of the world lies on my shoulders

Soon i won't have a place to fit
But i'll cross that bridge when i come to it

Chorus

What's got you so jumpy?
Why can't you sit still, yeah?
Like gasoline you wanna pump me
And leave me when you get your fill, yeah

Every time i touch you honey you get hot
I want to make love you never stop
Come up for air you push me to the floor
What's been going on in that head of yours

Chorus:
Unskinny bop
Just blows me away
Unskinny bop, bop
All night and day
Unskinny bop, bop, bop, bop
She just loves to play
Unskinny bop nothin' more to say

You look at me so funny
Love bite got you acting oh so strange
You got too many bees in your honey
Am i just another word in your page, yeah, yeah

Every time i touch you honey you get hot
I want to make love you never stop
Come up for air you push me to the floor
What's been going on in that head of yours

Chorus

You're sayin' my love won't do ya
But that ain't love written on your face
Well honey i can see right through ya
We'll see whose ridin' who at the end of the race

Solo

What's right
What's wrong
What's left
What the hell is going on

Chorus

You know i never
I never seen you look so good
You never act the way you should
But i like it
And i know you like it too
The way that i want you
I gotta have you
Oh yes, i do

You know i never
I never ever stay out late
You know that i can hardly wait
Just to see you
And i know you cannot wait
Wait to see me too
I gotta touch you

Chorus:
Cause baby we'll be
At the drive-in
In the old man's ford
Behind the bushes
Till i'm screamin' for more
Down the basement
Lock the cellar door
And baby
Talk dirty to me

You know i call you
I call you on the telephone
I'm only hoping that you're home
So i can hear you
When you say those words to me
And whisper so softly
I gotta hear you

Chorus

C.c. pick up that guitar and talk to me

Solo, chorus out

My daddy said
"son, don't you come to me cryin'
Cause money don't make you a happy man"
He said the grass is always greener
Any place except where you stand

He said some are born to win
And some born to lose
And sing them poor boy blues

Watch out

I've lived uptown, downtown
Lord i've lived everywhere
Almost drowned in the puddle of my own sweat i swear
I believe it's due time i get my mansion in ole bel air

Chorus:
But i'm still singin' those poor boy blues
Poor boy blues
You don't know how i'm feeling baby
Until you're wearing my shoes
Sure as i'm standing here
I got them poor boy blues

Friday night i get tanked up
And tossed in the local slam
At least i get three square meals
Until someone gets me out of this jam
In the meanwhile all my green
Is going to uncle sam

Chorus:

Walk this dog

Solo

Chorus

I want action tonight
Satisfaction all night

I grab my hat and i
Grab my shoes
Tonight i'm gonna hit
The streets and cruise

Down the main strip and
Check it out
With those schoolgirls
A hangin' around

Now i'm a sucker for a pretty face
I don't care if she's in leather or lace
Cause i'm just lookin' for a little kiss

Chorus:
I want action tonight
Satisfaction all night
You've got the love i need tonight

Long legs and short skirts
These girls hit me where it hurts

I can't wait to get my hands on them
I won't give up until they give in

Now i'm not lookin' for a love that lasts
I need a shot and i need it fast
If i can't have her, i'll take her and make her

Chorus, solo

Hey, sweetheart, slide on in here
No, not in the front, jump in the back
Why?
Cause there's something back there i want to show ya
I want action tonight
Satisfaction all night
Ah, come on honey, i wasn't that bad!
Oh, well

Chorus out

Will i see him on the tv
Preachin' 'bout the promised land
He tells me to believe in jesus
And steals the money from my hand

Some say he was a good man
But lord i think he sinned, yeah

Twenty-two years of mental tears
Cries a suicidal vietnam vet
Who fought a losing war on a foreign shore
To find his country didn't want him back

Their bullets took his best friend in saigon
Our lawyers took his wife and kids, no regrets
In a time i don't remember
In a war he can't forget

He cried "forgive me for what i've done there
Cause i never meant the things i did"

Chorus:
And give me something to believe in
If there's a lord above
And give me something to believe in
Oh, lord arise

My best friend died a lonely man
In some palm springs hotel room
I got the call last christmas eve
And they told me the news

I tried all night not to break down and cry
As the tears rolled down my face
I felt so cold and empty
Like a lost soul out of place

And the mirror, mirror on the wall
Sees my smile it fades again

Chorus

Sometimes i wish to god i didn't know now
The things i didn't know then
Road you gotta take me home

Solo

I drive by the homeless sleeping on a cold dark street
Like bodies in an open grave
Underneath the broken old neon sign
That used to read jesus saves

A mile away live the rich folks
And i see how they're living it up
While the poor they eat from hand to mouth
The rich is drinkin' from a golden cup

And it just makes me wonder
Why so many lose, so few win

Chorus

You take the high road
And i'll take the low road

Sometimes i wish to god i didn't know now
The things i didn't know then

And give me something to believe in

She goes down slow like a shot of gin
She's got an angel's face and a devil's grin
She kinda stared me down as i looked her up
She said "i'm your poison, now you drink a cup."

In the heat of the night is when she comes alive
She's gonna push you push you til she's satisfied
I watch the ice melt fast on her red hot lips
She whispers "if you wanna taste my love
Why don't you swallow this."

Chorus:
Love on the rocks
Love on the rocks
She's my shot
Love on the rocks
Ooooh lick it up

She gets so close you can feel her breathe
Just the way she moves, so soft and slippery
She lives just around the corner, right down the street
All night we play the horizontal bop right between her sheets

Chorus out

Now listen
Not a dime, i can't pay my rent
I can barely make it through the week
Saturday night i'd like to make my girl
But right now i can't make ends meet

I'm always workin' slavin' every day
Gotta get away from that same old same old
I need a chance just to get away
If you could hear me think this is what i'd say

Chorus:
Don't need nothin' but a good time
How can i resist
Ain't lookin' for nothin' but a good time
And it don't get better than this

They say i spend my money on women and wine
But i couldn't tell you where i spent last night
I'm really sorry about the shape i'm in
I just like my fun every now and then

I'm always workin' slavin' every day
Gotta get away from that same old same old
I need a chance just to get away
If you could hear me think this is what i'd say

Chorus

You see i raise a toast to all of us
Who are breakin' our backs every day
If wantin' the good life is such a crime
Lord, then put me away
Here's to ya

Solo

Chorus (3x's)

I just needed someone to hold
When the bottle was empty
And the nights grew cold

In my hour of darkness
In my time of need
You were my angel of mercy
And helped me to believe

You touched my soul
When i was lonely
You held me up
When i couldn't fly

There's no words could explain
How i feel inside
And this i tell you

In a world full of anger
And times gone strange
You held me close
You held me close to you

Lay my head on your shoulder
I finally let it all out
It felt good for a moment
Not living in a shadow of doubt

But everybody needs a little something
Tu pull them through
I gave one for the other
And god know that the other was you

Chorus:
Now only time will tell
Only time will tell
If our love is scratched in sand
Or if it's etched in stone
Only time will tell
Only time will tell
If our love will stand
Or walk the road along

My angel of mercy
Pulled me through somehow
I just hope you know
I need you now

Solo

You're the one
That touched my very soul
The one who held on tight
God knows you never let go

Angel of mercy
It's time we closed the door
Put out the lights
And burn the fire
Burn the fire inside

Angel of mercy
You pulled me through
And this i tell to you
God know i'd tell it to you

My friend called just the other day
Packed it up he won't be back this way

It's not your heart but the spirit they break
There's only so much a small town boy can take

See the eyes of the countless masses
Drinking life from the empty glasses

Chorus:
No more victims
No more lies
Ne sheer heart attacks
No more empty promises
No more lookin' back

I came here loaded searching for the dream
But nothing is ever easy as it seems

I thought i got closer to it every day
But every day it just got so far away

See all the faces paled
Shot to hell when the system failed

Chorus

I thought i could take all the shit in grind
And stand much more pain
But see all those dead end wishes
Eats away at the brain

Solo, chorus
