Box Of Fire

Good evening people, welcome to the show
Got somethin' here i want you all to know
When life and people bring on primal screams
You got to think of
What it's gonna take to make your dreams

Make it
Don't break it
I said make it
Don't brake it
Do then you feel like the world's coming down on you

You know that history repeats itself
But you just learned so by somebody else
You know you do, you gotta think up fast
You gotta figure what it's gonna take to make it last
Make it
Don't brake it
I said make it
Don't brake it
Then you do

Better weather, pull yourself together
Don't be catchin' the blues
Better weather, pull yourself together
What have you got to lose
You're only paying your dues
Too stinkin' proud but you're gonna pay
If you're gone i'll get you anyway
Although you know what you've been going through
Your only dreams feel like a tattoo

Make it
Don't brake it
I said make it
Don't brake it
Then you do

Better weather, pull yourself together
Don't be catchin' the blues
Better weather, pull yourself together
What have you got to lose

Boys, it looks, are ready to rumble
The word on the street some heads are gonna tumble
Blades gonna flash when streets gang clash
In the avenue tonight

When the lightning strikes

Zip gun johnnys finger is itchin'
The lid's gonna blow up in hell's kitchen
It's an eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth
It's so ruthless when they fight

When the lightning strikes

And it's free for all in the parking lot
And who'll rule the street
And the night explodes
When the cops bring down the heat

And the chains they crash like thunder
While the weak ones all retreat
Gotta draw first blood
Or they'll read your funeral rights

When the lightning strikes

It's dog eat dog when you meet your rival
And the combat zone it's your means of survival
Gonna get last licks on a suicide blitz
With a broken dagger knife
When the lightning strikes

And it's free for all in the parking lot
And who'll rule the street
And the night explodes
When the cops bring down the heat

And the chains they crash like thunder
While the weak ones all retreat
Gotta draw first blood
Or they'll read your funeral rights

Oh, oh...

When the lightning strikes
When the lightning strikes
When the lightning strikes
Lightning and thunder
When the lightning strikes...

Blood stains the ivorys
Of my daddys babygrand
I aint' seen no daylight
Since we started this band
No more, no more
No more, no more

Store bought clothes
Fallin' appart at the seams
Tea leaf readin' gypsies
Fortune tellin' my dreams

No more, no more
No more, no more

Holiday inns, lock the door with a chain
You love it than you hate it
But to me they're all the same

No more, no more
No more, no more

Baby i'm a dreamer
Found my horse and carriage

Stalemate jailbate
Ladies can't refuse
You love 'em then you leave 'em
With your sold out reviews

No more, no more
No more, no more

Sweet talkin' barroom, ladies disease
Slippin' with her lips
Slidin' down your knees

No more, no more
No more, no more

Me and my life a screamer
Bound to a wife and marriage
Baby, i'm a dreamer
Found my horse and carriage

Ladies hold the aces
And their lovers call it passion
The men call it pleasure
But to me it's old fashioned

Times they are a-changin
Nothin' ever stands still
If i don't stop a-changin
I'll be writtin' out my will

It's the same old story
Never get a second chance
For a dance to the top of the hill

Baby i'm a dreamer
Found my horse and carriage

Johnny come late on a saturday night
Singin' how de do
Backstreet boogie in the house of delight
Where they steal the show
The money come sour but the ladies are sweet
Ad it's a love affair
Whole place rockin', people stompin' their feet
When the gang's all there

He gets his lovin' every night for free
He's out there rockin' like you wouldn't believe
Singin' na, na, na...

Johnny like to gamble with his lady louise
She was a black jack deuces are wild
He got to thinking 'bout his nose in the breeze
And johnny looked and he smiled
He started thinking 'bout the fortune and fame
And the young girls down at his knees
He dug the money but forgot all the names
So he knew just how to appease

(chorus)
Lick and a promise
Lick and a promise
Lick and a promise
(he gave the ladies a) lick and a promise

Loose change clover in his early, early years
Had his poor mama pacin' the floors
He grabbed a guitar and a couple of beers
Now the crowd keeps screamin' for more

(repeat chorus)

Oh, on the beach of cartegena
She, salty baby with the name, ah
Oh, chiquita
Oh, chiquita

She, takes me walkin' in the sunshine
She, she'll be lovin' till the moon shine

Love chiquita
Oh love chiquita

She, got the poppy-eyed desire
Tease, till the boys put out the fire

Love chiquita
Oh, love chiquita

Oh, no, no, now don't you wake me up, i'm dreamin'
No, no, no, if you wake me i'll be screamin'

Love chiquita
Oh, love chiquita

Take me, take me...

Take it or a-leave it on a saturday night
And what you see is what you get so give me a bite
Here are lots of ladies, they are so insecure
Leave it to the boys and the fool on the hill

Hello baby, yeah it's me
There'll be no judge, no third degree no jailbait
Play the fool and you play the punk
Wake up babe, i'm a-don't know jailbait

I believe in someone talkin'
Can't let go you don't get hold no jailbait
What it is, but you believe it
What you got, got up the sleeve and jailbait

(look here!)
Oh, j-j-j-jailbait
Oh, j-j-j-jailbait
Oh, j-j-j-j-jailbait

Take it, leave it, roll the dice
You're hard as hell, i'm cold as ice no jailbait
Tell your daddy how you do me
Put the woodcheck, do it to me jailbait
What you see in daddy's eyes
Check the boys, no surprise no jailbait

Oh, j-j-j-jailbait
Oh, j-j-j-j-j-j-jailbait
Oh, j-j-j-jailbait
Oh, j-j-j-jailbait
Oh, j-j-j-j-j-jailbait

Do me, do you, tell me what you see in me too
Do me, do you

I ain't complainin' the bitch's brew
There's a lover who never knew she's jailbait
Steep the chase, call the sweat
You steep the feet, oh gracer bed, oh jailbait

Oh, j-j-j-j-j-jailbait
Oh, j-j-j-j-j-jailbait
Oh, j-j-j-j-j-j-jailbait
J-j-j-j-j-j-j
Oh, j-j-j-j-jailbait....

Backstroke lover always hidin' 'neath the cover
Still i talked to your daddy he say
He said you ain't seen noting
'till you're down on a muffin
Then you're sure to be a-changin' your ways

I met a cheerleader, was a real young bleeder
All the times i can remaniesse
'cause the best thing lovin'
With her sister and her cousin
Only started with a little kiss, like this!

See-saw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
Singin' hey diddle-diddle with the kitty in the middle
You be swingin' like you just didn't care

So i took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Was it me she was foolin'
'cause she knew what she was doin'
And i know love was here to stay
When she told me to

Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Ah, just give me a kiss - like this!

School girl sadie with the classy kinda sassy
Little skirt climbing way up her knees
There was three young ladies in the school gym locker
When i noticed they was lookin' at me

I was a high school loser
Never made it with a lady
Till the boys told me something i missed
Then my next door neighbour
With a daughter had a favour
So i gave her just a little kiss, like this!

See-saw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
Singin' hey diddle-diddle with the kitty in the middle
You be swingin' like you just didn't care

So i took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Was it me she was foolin'
'cause she knew what she was doin'
When she told me how to walk this way
She told me to

Walk this way, talk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, talk this way
Just give me a kiss - like this!

Write me a letter
Write me a letter

Without that lord of day
But i'll never, never get so far away

I said write me
Write me

But you could write me a letter
For to save me from goin' insane

Write me
Excite me

It ain't easy
Livin' like a gypsy
Tell ya honey how i feel
I've been dreamin'
Floatin' down the stream n'
Losin' touch with all that's real

Whole earth lover
Keepin' under cover
Never know where ya been
You've been fadin'
Always out paradin'
Keep in touch with mama kin

Well you've always got your tail on the wag
Shootin' fire from your mouth
Just like a dragon
You act like a perpertual drag
You better check it out
'cause someday soon you'll have to
Climb back on a wagon

It ain't easy
Livin' like you wanna
It's so hard to find peace of mind
Yes it is
The way i see it
You gotta say shit
But don't forget to drop me a line

Said, you're bald as an egg when you're eighteen
Workin' for your dad is just a drag
You still stuff your mouth with your dreams
You better check it out
'cause someday soon you'll have to
Climb back on the wagon

Keep in touch with mama kin
Tell her were you've gone and been
Livin' out your fantasy
Sleepin' late and smokin' tea

Keep in touch with mama kin
Tell her were you've gone and been
Livin' out your fantasy
Sleepin' late and smokin' tea

It ain't easy
Livin' like you wanna
It's so hard to find peace of mind
Yes it is
The way i see it
You gotta say shit
But don't forget to drop me a line

Said you're bald as an egg at eighteen
Workin' for your dad is just a drag
You still stuff your mouth with your dream
You better check it out
'cause someday soon you'll have to
Climb back on the wagon

Keep in touch with mama kin
Tell her were you've gone and been
Livin' out your fantasy
Sleepin' late and smokin' tea

Keep in touch with mama kin
Tell her were you've gone and been
Livin' out your fantasy
Sleepin' late and smokin' tea

Now it's time
To say good night to you
And now it's time
To bid you sweet adieu

And baby, drink a cheers to yesterday
And maybe, you'll drink those tears away

So baby, don't let go
Hold on real tight
'cause i'll be home tonight
Tonight

(i'm dreaming tonight, i'm leaving back home)
Right!

Take me back to a south tallahassee
Down cross the bridge to my sweet sassafrassy
Can't stand up on my feet in the city
Gotta get back to the real nitty gritty

Yes sir, no sir
Don't come close to my
Home sweet home
Can't catch no dose
Of my hot tail poon tang sweetheart
Sweathog ready to make a skilk purse
From a j paul getty and his ear
With her face in the beer

Home sweet home

Get out in the field
Put the mule in the stable
Ma she's a cookin'
Put the eats on the table
Hate's in the city
And my love's in the meadow
Hands on the plow
And my feets in the getto

Stand up, sit down
Don't do nothing
Ain't no good when boss man's
Stuffin' down their throats
With paper notes
As babies cry
When you're rockin' in the street

Home sweet home

Mama, take me home sweet home

I was the last child
Just a punk in the streets

(repeat)

Major
Major barbara sits in the fields
And waits for her crops to grow
She sits in a chair
She made out of wood
So many, many years ago

Major, why don't they grow
You've given' them water and hope
Major, why won't they grow

She waits all day
And hopes through the night
For a new day that might show
A bright yellow sun
That'll make the crops come
And let the old days go

Major, why won't they grow
You've given' them water and hope
Major, why won't they grow

Major
Look out in your fields
Tell me what do you see shinin' through

Major
Look after your fields
And your fields will look after you

Yes they do
Yes they do
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Major, why won't they grow
You've given' them water and hope
Major, why won't they grow

Flatbush boy cruisin' sheepshead bay
His boardwalk mama just a sniff away
Underground dmt, ridin' thunder train
The cone island white fish boy is on the run again

Oh, runnin' with the pack
Oh, never lookin' back
Oh, know just where he's been
That coney island white fish boy's
Been there and back again

Sixteen years with his boardwalk queen
And at steeplechase, she used to wet his dreams
She combs her hair, that flamin' jewel
Streaked with clorox bleach
Coney gettin' down and dirty
Snortin' up the beach

She'd be screamin' (coney)
She'd be screamin' (coney)
Go get 'em coney

(coney), bone to bone screamin'
(coney) she be screamin' (coney)
Get down
Get back in town
Get back, get down
Get back in town
Get back, get down
Coney!
She'd be screamin' (coney)
Best believe it (coney)

Sweet emotion
Sweet emotion

You talk about things that nobody cares
You're wearing out things that nobody wears
You're calling my name but you gotta make clear
I can't say baby where i'll be in a year

Some sweat hog mama with a face like a gent
Said my get up and go musta got up and went
Well i got good news, she's a real good liar
'cause the backstage boogie set your pants on fire

Sweet emotion
Sweet emotion

I pulled into town in a police car
Your daddy said i took it just a little to far
You're telling me things but your girlfriend lied
You can't catch me 'cause the rabbit gone died
Yes it is

You stand in the front just a shakin' your ass
I'll take you backstage, you can drink from my glass
I talk about somehting you can sure understand
'cause a month on the road an' i'll be eating from your hand

Kickin' down the road
Feelin' mighty slowed
With the likes of you

Gettin' mighty spaced
Never had a taste
Of what you're goin' through

I can't bitch
Went from rags to riches
Then to ragtime screamin' the blues

(chorus)
I wanna know why
Everybody's good intention
Try to make a fool outta me
I wanna know why
Everybody's good intention
Gotta make a fool
Gotta make a fool
Try to make a fool outta me

Swing low
Sweet cherry-o
When a strange love showed me the way

You see more
Can't keep a score
When the whore's comin' on for the play

(chorus)

E. poe
Eatin' crow
Wonder if he knowed that
Raven was mad

Time passed
And words lost the last
Of the thing he ever had

(chorus)

Oh, play rough
Can't get enough
So the try to make a fool out of me

Lordy
Ain't foolin' me
Ya ain't ghoulin' me
Ain't foolin' me
You ain't foolin' me

Well i've tried everything
Just to get along with you
And now i'm gonna tell you
Just what i'm gonna do
Well i'm sick of all your cryin'
When you should be leavin' me alone
If you don't believe me
You pack my bags, i'm gone

Won't you please
Don't that sun look good goin' down
You almost lost your love girl
When your old man ain't around

(chorus)
Won't you please
Don't that sun look good goin' down
And you best believe i love you baby
When your old man ain't around

(repeat chorus)

Round and round...

When i'm in heat
Someone gets a notion
I jump to my feet
I hoof it to the ocean
We hit a beach
Where no one gives a hoot
Nobody never ever wears a suit
The ladies there
They look so proud
That's 'cause they know
That they've been so well endowed

Now, i ain't much
For fannie's conversation
Or care to much
About her operation
But every time pandora comes my way
I get high
Can't explain the sensation
To get it on
I gotta watch what i say
Or i'll catch hell
From the women's liberation

(chorus)

Sweet pandora
Good-like aura
Smell like a flora
Open up your door-a for me
Sweet pandora
Good-like aura
Smell like a flora
Open up your door-a for me
Sweet pandora
Mama crack a smile for me
Just for me, just for me
Just for me, just for me
Just for me, just for me
Just for me

Now i ain't what
You'd call a city slicker
Or claim to fame
To be a slitty licker

But every time pandora comes my way
I get high
Can't explain the sensation
To get it on
I gotta watch what i say
Or i'll catch hell
From the women's liberation

(chorus)

Down to who knows who just to socialize
I'm waitin' for my girls, when you caught my eyes
You got your ways to make a man
Honey, you got to understand
I'm your man, child, lord of the thighs

Well, well, lordie my god
What do we got here
She's flashin' 'cross the floor
Make it perfectly clear
You're the bait and you're the hook
Someone bound to take a look
I'm your man, child, lord of the thighs

You must have come here to find me
You've got the look in your eyes
Although you really don't mind it
I am the lord of the thighs

You must have come here to find me
You've got the look in your eyes
Although you really don't mind it
I am the lord of the thighs

You see me crying
Don't let it get you down
You see me crying
I'm back to the lost and found

Honey, what you done to your head
Honey, what's the words that i said
Honey, what you done to your head
Honey, what's the words that i said

You see me crying
Say you a ladies man
You see me crying
I'm so hard to understand

Honey, what you done to your head
Honey, what's the words that i said
Honey, what you done to your head
Honey, what's the words that i said

You see me crying

Please say you stick around
And i got to be your lover, honey
Lovin' time after time
And i show everything around
And i never ever let you down
'cause my love is like a madder round

Honey, what you done to your head
Honey, what's the words that i said
Honey, what you done to your head
Honey, what's the words that i said

1971, we all heard the starter gun
New york is such a pity
But at max's kansas city we won

We all shot shit in the bar
With johnny o' toole and his scar
And then old clive davis said
He's surely gonna make us a star
I'm gonna make you a star
Just the way you are

But with all his style
I could see in his eyes
That we is goin' on trial
And it was no surprise

The boys kept kickin' ass
As usual time would tell
But some bitch in the choir
Threw water on the fires of hell
She loved to shove and tell
Lord, she loved to tell

But with all our style
You could see in our eyes
That we is still on trial
And it was no surprise
No surprise
No surprise
No surprise

Midnight lady
Situation fetal
Vaccinate yo ass with yo phonograph needle

I say look it here
A friend of mine
Scratch like you need calomine
Flamingo boots, soles a creakin'
Still in love and puerto rican too

Ridin' on the wheels of hell
Smokin' in our axle grease
The backstage is rockin'
And we're copping from the local polica
That's right, the local police
Or the juctice of peace

But with all our style
You could see in our eyes
That we is still on trial
Baby, it's no surprise
No surprise
No surprise
No surprise

Rock n' roll, junkie whore
Got my foot inside the door
Knock knock, knock knock, knock
Nobody's keepin' score

Bad time go away
Come again some other day
Topaz and sazzafraz
Will keep the blues away

Candy store, rock n' roll
Corporation jelly roll
Play the singles, it ain't me
It's programmed with insanity

You ascap, if bmi
Could ever make a mountain fly
If japanese can boil teas
The where the fuck's my royalties

Pack up your troubles in your old gym bag
You gotta dance to the tune of bolivian ragamuffin
I'll take short brakes
Love her 'til the ice breaks

Stand on the seashore lookin' at the city
See the street light look like a lady on the titty
In the wax museum everybody can see themselves
As others can see them but nobody wants to be the baby

Tough break - cabbage head
Try to get a salad made
Hold my pickle, hold the lettuce
Session waters don't upset us

Kid's span face looks so even like a needle
Never make third base like a toilet bowl cleaner
Like an squawk-eight fool with the dooner over double
If i have to do rock a roller up a jello

Statiol coverslag, smokin' bowl no feelin' high
Burn and people, try to let us
Hush i'm for hm, what i'm saying

See me kiss - can you prepance
Waitin' for - gotta have a dance
Say me now - say all i need is a chance
I ain't gonna do it...

And what a stormy night
I met the pony
It was so dark that i could hardly see
It smelled so sweet you know who and joanie
So many butterflies one could not see

We all could feel desire
Took off in flight
It was hotter than fire
Than came the light

Oh, oooh
Oh, ah, now smell the heat
The dancing pony unwrapped his wings
To try off joanie
The pony he grew in size
In thunder and rain
And finally realize
What he was and what he does
And what he couldn't stay

And left to kiss the cheek of mother nature
Nobody here can denie such things
He's created as you look'm honey
No butterfly should be denied his wings

He was a kick ass rocking horse
He like a hell bent tied to the gavin pole
It was a one-time fantasy
I got to grab hold and fly into the holy land
Bare back, riding like like a butterplane
Nightmares, and he can hold the candle to my dreams

Oh we rode tonight
I talked to believe in
What i saw all right
It was everything
We flew into burning skies
The thunder and rain
And finally realize
What he is and what he does
And what he couldn't stay

Oh, no, no...
Took off in flight
Oh, no, no...

Bare back somethings coming over me
Not mess and he can hold the candle to my dreams

No live to breathe
No stable lights
No try to please
Nobody's eyes
We'll never see lust again
And tell me the pain
Bury it all again
We have a good time
Somebody shot him down

Now tell me, tell me, tell me never
We could really cause a course in time
Listen bissin' to your old pleasures
Bissin' listenin' be a king of spine

He was a keep grass rocking horse
He was a one time fantasy
A two two...?
A three three?

In the attic lies
Voices scream
Nothing's seen
Real's a dream

Leaving the things that are real behind
Leaving the things that you love from mind
All of the things you learned from fears
Nothing is left for the years

Voices scream
Nothing's seen
Real's a dream

(chorus)
Toys, toys, toys in the attic
Toys, toys, toys in the attic
Toys, toys, toys in the attic
Toys, toys, toys in the attic

In the attic lies
Voices scream
Nothing's seen
Real's a dream

Leaving the things that are real behind
Leaving the things that you love from mind
All of the things you learned from fears
Nothing is left for the years

Voices scream
Nothing's seen
Real's a dream

(repeat chorus) (yayayayayayayow!)

(look out!)
"we're gonna bring somebody
Up on stage now with us.
A mr david woodford.
Gonna blow some sax, yeah"

(watch this man!)

Some like 'em short
Some like 'em tall
Some like 'em thin
Skinny legs and all
I like 'em buttered
I like 'em proud
Now when they walk
They know they draw a crowd

See, well you gotta have a mother for me
Watcha say, whatcha say...
See, well you gotta have a mother for me
One more, gimme, gimme
See, well you gotta have a mother for me

Popcorn, popcorn
Cheese cake, cheese cake (uh! you heard it)
Hun' i can't see ya
There ya baby!
Listen here

Some like 'em short, some like 'em tall
Some like 'em thin, skinny legs and all
I like 'em buttered, i like 'em proud
And when they walk, you know they'll draw a crowd

See - well, you gotta have a mother for me
See - well, you gotta have a mother for me
See - well, you gotta have a mother for me
See - well, you gotta have a mother for me
Said you gotta have a mother for me
Said you gotta have a mother for me
And you gotta have a mother for me
Gotta have a mother,
Said you gotta have, said you gotta have,
Said you gotta have, said you gotta have

She got to give just what she got
To get just what she wants
She got to give just what she got
To get just what she wants
She got to give just what she got
To get just what she wants
What it is, what it is, just what it is

See - well, you gotta have a mother for me
See - well, you gotta have a mother for me
See - well, you gotta have a mother for me
Let's get outta here

See - well, you gotta have a mother for me
Gotta have a mother for me
Gotta have a mother for me
Said you gotta have a mother, gotta have a mother
Said ya gotta have, gotta have...

Honey, you gotta have a mother for me

Goin' downtown, goin' down, goin' down
'neath the city, eatin' ground round
Underground is pretty gritty
I turned the screw she held the light
That's when i knew she was a

Sight for sore eyes
She was a sight for sore eyes

Playin' no fair, sleepin' under stairs
Downtown's a pity, takin' fair square
Under where it's pretty gritty
I turned the screw, she held the knife

Oh, holy jesus, she's a sight for sore eyes
Sight for sore eyes
She's a nitty grutty

Turnin' in style, walk a mile for your titty
Naked foul while under there
Under where it's pretty gritty
Hey, don't you know people
She's a love lust hussy
She left, oh she rust me
Dear old girl
She was a sight for sore eyes
But she was sittin' pretty
A sight for sore eyes
She was a nitty gritty
Sight for sore eyes

Peeled back and parted
Even at the start it was delight or demise
I feel like a leopard king
Sight for sore eyes
She was a sight for sore eyes

Lord i must be dreaming
What else could this be
Everybody's screaming
Running' for the sea

Holy lands are sinking
Birds take to the sky
The prophets are all stinking drunk
I know the reason why

Eyes are full of desire
Mind is so ill at ease
Everything is on fire
Shit piled up to the knees
Out of rhyme or reason
Everyone's to blame
Children of the season
Don't be lame

Sorry, you're so sorry
Don't be sorry
Man has known it
Now he's blown it
Up-side down and hell's the only way
We did an awful job
And now they say it's nobody's fault

Old st. andres
Seven years ago
Shove it up their richters
Red light stop and go
Noble men of courage
Listen with their ears
Spoke but how discouraging
When no one really hears

One of these day's you'll be sorry
Too many houses on stilt
Three milion years or just a story
Four on the floor up to the hilt

(chorus)
Out of rhyme or reason
Everyone's to blame
Children of the season
Don't be lame
Sorry, you're so sorry
Don't be sorry

Man has known it
Now he's blown it
Up-side down and hell's the only way
We did an awful job
And now we're just a little too late

Eyes are full of desire
Mind is so ill at ease
Everything is on fire
Shit piled up in debris

California showtime
Five o'clock's the news
Everybody's concubine
Was prone to take a snooze

Sorry, you're so sorry
Don't be sorry
Man has known it
Now he's blown it
Up-side down and hell's the only way
We did an awful job
And now we're just a little too late

It was a take it or a leave it
On a saturday night
I wish i could love you 'til the cats come home
And make it right
If it's a make believe i say
I ain't tell you then
'cause if it's a dream my memories wake me up
And start again

Oh, close your eyes and what do you see
Oh, look overhow you could do with your only believes

(chorus)
She was a real top manner
Lots of nothing other
Hard core biloozy
Late night rubber
A second hand clothes
Smiling like a cheshire cat

Well it was either now or walkin down the urchin' moon
Only a certain situation you could see i'm who
Putting the ring around the rose n' pull the daisy chain
Well, we are here, can tell me you ain't with that bachelor thing
Oh, close your eyes and what do you see
Oh, nothing but hammer to you with your only decease in me

(chorus)

If you have wanna won with me
You're not to have be here tonight
Want you to hold it down
And let me lose a rock me right
Want you to get it on i'm your main man
Brother you never learned
Come on and rock again

Oh, close your eyes and what do you see
Rumbelin' happy to do with your only believes in me

(repeat chorus)

(chorus)
Can you be in love
When you live alone
Push comes to shove
When you're bitchin' on

Now look at every
I'm tonne on you without a doubt
Said the music does the talkin'
But all we heard is talk about

The girls are left behind
When forty women all spend time
With me and the boys
And the toys, yeah

Rose said she was fine for two
With blonde hair, by crack it
Miles of blue
Sooge, she was on my side
'cause she and nancy
Ah they took me for a ride

The girls are left behind
When forty women all spend time
With me and the boys
And they do, yeah the toys

Talk about it
Walk about it
Talk about it
Talkabubi
Talk about it
Talk about it...
Dedumdudidudi

(chorus)

She looked, well, about 35 to me
When mine was still comin' on to you
But i was covered back, back then
'cause me and the boys
Knew hot courior

The girls are left behind
When forty women all spend time
With me and the boys
And the toys in the attic

Her sister, she was lank a fin
Never tought i'd given in
Her candle of youth was burnin' low
But me and the boys
Knew something had to go

The girls are left behind
When forty women all spend time
With me and the boys
Dededudidudu...

Talk about it
Walk about it
Talk about it
Talkabubi
Talk about it
Talk about it...
Dedumdudidudi

(chorus x2)

Huh!

(repeat chorus)

Arriving in boats
Black hooded coats
Tormentors climbed into my room
I crawled under my bed
Covered my head
But they're flushin' me out with a broom
The leades, she's small
Pinned my ass to the wall
For my seeds or she'd be losin' her past
Time after time
She'd be readin' my mind

Celebrate, celebrate, celebrate it
This is critcal mass

So far, so good
I heard the other say
So good, so far
They're takin' me away
I drink to you, your mind, her ass
We'll take a drink and break the glass
Celebrate, celebrate, celebrake it
This is critical mass

Now the tallest of two
With a brush full of blue
Paints surrealist scenes on the wall
So i tell her for fun
That it's really well done
But she just ain't listenin' at all
She points to my heart
Tellin' me if i'm smart
I'll practise and phase
Out and admit, when the shoe doesn't fit
And i went screamin' out down the hall

Need it
Need your love
Just then i heard a poundin' on the wall
We're all there, sang the voice of twenty more
I drink to your alas
We'll take a drink and break the glass
Celebrate, celebrate, celebreak it
We are the critical mass
Time and space is takin' me away
Time erase, don't know the time of day

Seems like the other day
My baby went away
She went away, 'cross the sea

It's been two years or so
Since i saw my baby go
And then this letter came from me

It said that we was through
She found somebody new
Oh, let me think, let me think
What should i do

(chorus)
Oh, no
Oh, no
Oh, no no no no no
(remember), walking in the sand
(remember), walking hand in hand
(remember), the night was so exciting
(remember), her smile was so inviting
(remember), the she touched me cheek
(remember), with her fingertips
(remember), softly
Softly we met with a kiss

Whatever happened to
The gal that i once knew
The girl that said, she'd been true
Oh, whatever happened to
The night i gave it to you
What did i do with the night
Oh...

(chorus)

Whatever happened to
That girl that i once knew
That girl that said, she was true
Whatever happened to
That night i gave it to you
What would you do with the night

Get yourself cooler
Lay yourself low
Coincidental murder
With nothing to show
With the judge's constipation
Will go to his head
And his wife's aggravation
You'll soon end up dead

It's the same old story
Same old song and dance, my friend
It's the same old story
Same old song and dance, my friend

Gotcha with the cocaine
They found with your gun
No smooth face laywer
Could get ya undone
Say love ain't the same
On the south side of town
You could look
But you ain't gonna find it around

It's the same old story
Same old song and dance, my friend
It's the same old story
Same old story
Same old song and dance

Fate comes a-knockin'
Doors start lockin'
Your old time connection
Change your direction
You ain't gonna change it
Can't rearrange it
Can't stand the pain
When it's all the same to you, my friend

When you're low down and dirty
From walkin' the street
With your old hurdy gurdy
No one to meet
Said love ain't the same
On the south side of town
You could look
But you ain't gonna find it around

It's the same old story
Same old song and dance, my friend
It's the same old story
Same old story
Same old song and dance

If you believe in me
Like i believe in you
You wouldn't be tellin' me things
That weren't exactly true

Now everything changes
Ain't got nothing to say
I'm having the strangest feeling, baby
I can't remember my name

'cause the life i've been livin'
And the love i've been givin'
Will be sure to send you spinnin'
With your feet never touching the ground
Goin' round n' round

When it was one for all
And it was all for one
And everything that we did
Never bothered anyone

Now everything changes
Ain't nothing the same
I'm having the strangest feeling, baby
I can't remember my name

'cause the life i've been livin'
And the love i've been givin'
Will be sure to send you spinnin'
With your feet never touching the ground
Goin' round n' round

Can you remember the days
When you were sweet sixteen
And always followed the ways
Of someone elses dream

(look here)
Now everything changes
Ain't nothing the same
I'm having the strangest feeling, baby
I can't remember my name

Goin' round n' round n' round n' round....

You act like a primadonna
Playing so hard to get
Sittin' so cool and nochalant
Draggin' on a cigarette

You keep a wall all around you
I'll get trough one day
I want your love babe
If push comes to shove
Gonna chip that wall away

(chorus)
Chip away
Chip away at the stone
I won't stop 'til your love is my very own
Chip away
That's what i'm gonna do
Sweet little mama
I wanna get next to you

You stand like a marble statue
Trying to look so hard
All decked out in your antique dress
While the boys all promenade

Even a rock will crumble
If you strike it night and day
If hammer i must
I'm gonna get trough your crust
Gonna chip that stone away

(repeat chorus)

Chip it, i'm gonna nip it
All night long
