Scissor Sisters

Almost Sorry

If anyone was headed for the gates of hell I know you'd be first.
I used to picture your obituary and I wished you the worst.
The danger of the playground. The radio'd said you drowned.
and I'm sorry, almost. Almost sorry.
No sympathy is given to the perpetrator charged with the crime.
(Ahhh ahhh)
I'm willing to admit that it feels good to be a victim sometimes.
I won't ever get to thank you for the terrible things you said.
I'm sorry, almost, that you're-
dead to the world, where I hoped you would be.
I never imagined you'd live on in me.
You gave me destination, but I payed for the ride.
The place you punched my ticket left a crater inside.
Where I cried.
(He cried)
Where I cried.
(You died)
Where I cried from the bruises, learned to live with the scars.
Now you live in the mirror. When I look, there you are.
You're the shadow on the faces of the people I meet
Have you claimed eternal shotgun in my passenger seat?
Well, I'm sorry.
(Almost)
Almost sorry.
(Ahhh ahhh)
Sometimes the best design is done by damage.
The accident can cease.
A rainbow still looks pretty when it bleeds.

Any Which Way

Dancing on the speakers, are you peaking with tweakers
Bigger, tanner breeders on the scene
The night don't last forever, so get your shit together
Open arms are never what they seem

Oh oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh

I don't need a doctor just a simple love concocter
To slide to my sock so civilly ?
No talk of commitment
When I receive a shipment
Oh I need express delivery

Any which way, any which way,
You better take me, any which way you can
Any which way, any which way,
You better take me, any which way you can

Ya' don't need reservations
No identification
To give me your relations
Sting me like a bee
Oh I want you to funk me
Your battleship has sunk me
Give me all your dark meat
Set my body free

Any which way, any which way
You better take me, any which way you can
Any which way, any which way
You better take me, any which way you can

You know baby
When I was taking my pantyhose out of their egg this evening
I thought: I'm going to find that man that is the right shade of bottle tan
A man that smells like cocoa butter and cash
Take me anyway you like it
In front of the fireplace
In front of your yacht
In front of my parents
I don't give a damn baby, just take me

Any which way, any which way, any which way you can
Any which way, any which way you can
Any which way, any which way, any which way you can
Any which way, any which way you can

Any which way, any which way
You better take me, any which way you can
Any which way, any which way
You better take me, any which way you can

Ah any which way you can
Ah any which way you can

Any which way, any which way
You better take me, any which way you can
Any which way, any which way
You better take me, any which way you can

Any which way, any which way
(Any which way, any which way, any which way you can)
You better take me, any which way you can
(Any which way, any which way you can)
Any which way, any which way
(Any which way, any which way, any which way you can)
You better take me, any which way you can
(Any which way, any which way you can)

Backwoods Discotheque

Let's all go to the backwoods discotheque
Let's go get wrecked with a sweat yeah
If ya got a car and a kinky girl
You'll get wet right quick at the discotheque yeah

No one knows who goes to the backwood club
And rubs their nub in the sludge bugs

You're gonna love that club in the backwoods discotheque

Better Luck

I know i'm into you
I don't know what to do
When we talk I feel like I've died twice
Boxers use it's fists
Hockey players break their wrist
You break my heart when you try to play nice

Like a detective without a case
I'll magnify what you say and
Test the implications
It could be you or it could be through
Before it even begins
I'm a fish swimming without fins

Better luck next time
Maybe we could have a go
With another kind of love
One that carries on
Better luck next time
Guess I've only one regret
That i didn't get to know you better than i did

You tell me that you're mine
Are you just being kind?
Let's not strech our imagination
When you look into my eyes
Always get them butterflies
My knees get weak with anticipation

And if I might have a slip of the tongue
Will the fun dissapear?
Is the binding coming undone?
You keep me waiting within your grasp
But I can't tell what you feel
And i'm too afraid to ask you

Better luck next time
Maybe we could have a go
With another kind of love
One that carries on
Better luck next time
Guess I've only one regret
That i didn't get to know you better than I did

Comfortably Numb

Hello (hello)
Hello (hello)
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can here me
Is there anybody home?

Come on now
I hear you're feeling down
Well I can ease your pain
And get you on your feet again
Relax...
I need some information.. first (first)
Relax..
Just don't face the facts
Can you show me where it hurts

[Chorus 1]
There is no pain you were receding
A distant ship floats on the horizon
You're only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear watcha saying
When I was a child I caught a fever
My hands swelled like two balloons
Now i've got that feeling once again
I can't explain
You would not understand
This isn't how I am
I have become comfortably numb

Ok (ok)
It's just a little pin-prick
There'll be no more Hiiiiiiiiiii
But you may feel a little sick
Can you stand up now
I do believe It's working
(uh huh) (uh huh)

Gotta keep it going through the show
C'mon it's time to go [Repeat x4]

[Chorus 2]
There is no pain you were receding
A distant ship floats on the horizon
You're only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear watcha saying
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look but it was gone
To get up on my feet but ohh the child has grown
The dream is gone
I..i..i've been Com-com-fortably Numb
I..i..i've been Com-com-fortably Numb

[Repeat Chrous Till Fade]

Electrobix

Are you a Scissor sister?
Scissor sister

Your legs they look like sticks Electrobix yeah

You gotta pump your body
Oooo you wanna be a hunny
You better like to party
You gotta pump that body (x2)

When I was just a boy with my lunch in a bag
The other little boys made me feel like a fag
I didn’t like sports didn’t play outside
A lisp and a limp wrist too much to hide

I always felt trapped inside
I always felt trapped inside

You gonna feel high, high, high
But you gotta feel good, good, good (x2)

I started working out at the YMCA
I couldn’t lift the weights and I felt like a gay
Didn’t take long just to understand
I was growing up big like a superman

I swear I’m doing all I can
I swear I’m doing all I can

You gonna feel high, high, high
But you gotta feel good, good, good (x2)

Coz there aint no woman or man or tranny or thing
Whose gonna love you like they should

You gotta pump your body
Oooo you wanna be a hunny
You better like to party
You gotta pump that body (x2)

I go to the gym almost 5 times a week
I’ve gained lots of weight and I look like a freak
I get real bored when I sit at home
I just do what I wanna do and I stroke my bone

You gotta pump your body (I’ve never felt so alone)
You gotta pump that body
You gotta pump that body (I’ve never felt so alone)
You gotta pump that body

Electrobix, your moves they make me sick, Electrobix yeah
Your legs they look like sticks Electrobix yeah
Electrobix, your moves they make me sick, Electrobix yeah
Your legs they look like sticks Electrobix yeah

Everybody Wants The Same Thing

If you're waiting for your wings but you just got legs
And you're feeding all your chickens but they won't lay eggs
When you open up your drawers and see your janky clothes
Just remember life's in love with you but let's suppose
That God ain't gonna drop you no hundred dollar bill
You're got to question your intentions
'Cause the bad ones kill

Everybody wants the same thing
Everybody wants the same thing
No trading places on the chain gang
It doesn't matter how you swing it
Everybody wants the same thing

When your exit sign is coming could be 'round any bend
Now did you live your life proper did you just pretend
That you knew what you were talking about
Which side was your fence
When the hammer comes down it never makes no sense
Chaos is not a virtue, paranoia loads the bases
Just imagine giant rivers overflowing with their faces

Everybody wants the same thing
Everybody wants the same thing
No trading places on the chain gang
It doesn't matter how you swing it
Everybody wants the same thing

What is it that you want?
What is it that you give?
Where do you plan on finding it?
How do you want to live?

What is it that you want?
What is it that you give?
Where do you plan on finding it?
How do you want to live?

What is it that you want?
What is it that you give?
Where do you plan on finding it?
How do you want to live?

Love is what I want
Love is what I give
Right here's where I'm finding it
That's how I'm gonna live

Love is what I want
Love is what I give
Right here's where I'm finding it
That's how I'm gonna live

Love is what I want
Love is what I give
Right here's where I'm finding it
That's how I'm gonna live

Everybody wants the same thing
Everybody wants the same thing
No trading places on the chain gang
It doesn't matter how you swing it
Everybody wants the same thing

Filthy / Gorgeous

When you're walkin' down the street
And the man tries to get your business
And the people that you meet
Want to open you up like Christmas
You gotta wrap your fuzzy with a big red bow
Ain't no sum bitch gonna treat me like a ho
I'm a classy honey kissy huggy lovey dovey ghetto princess

Cause you're filthy Oooh, and I'm gorgeous [x2]
You're disgusting Oooh, and you're nasty
And you can grab me oooh, cause you're nasty

When you're runnin' from a trick
And you trip on a hit of acid
You gotta work for the man
But your biggest moneymakers' flaccid
You gotta keep your shit together
With your feet on the ground
There ain't no one gonna listen
If you haven't made a sound
You're an acid junkie college flunky dirty puppy daddy bastard

Cause you're filthy Oooh, and I'm gorgeous [x2]
You're disgusting Oooh, and you're nasty
And you can grab me oooh, cause you're nasty

Cause you're filthy, oooh, and I'm gorgeous
Cause you're filthy, oooh, and I'm gorgeous
You're disgusting, oooh, and you're nasty
And you can grab me, oooh, cause you're nasty

Fire With Fire

You can see that you're being surrounded
From every direction
And love was just something you found
To add to your collection
It used to seem we were number one
But now it sounds so far away
I had a dream we were running from
Some blazing arrows yesterday
You said, "Fight fire with fire
Fire with fire
Fire with fire
Through desire, desire -sire, desire
Through your desire."
Now the city blacks out the sun
That you know is rising
You can show me the work that you've done
Your fears have been disguising
Is it just me or is everyone
Hiding out between the lines
What will we be when we come undone
Just a simple meeting of the minds?
And we'll fight fire with fire
Fire with fire
Fire with fire
Through desire, desire -sire, desire
Through your desire
We'll fight fire with fire
Fire with fire
Fire with fire
Through desire, desire -sire, desire
Through your desire
Underneath your skies
There's a million lights
Burning brightly just like fireflies
It's cold and heaven surrounds you from every direction
'Cause there's someone behind every hand
That you've made a connection
And now we're free to be number one
The morning isn't far away
I had a dream we were holding on
And tomorrow has become today, become today
And now we're free to be number one
The morning isn't far away
We've got a reason to keep holding on
Tomorrow has become today
And we'll fight fire with fire
Fire with fire
Fire with fire
Through desire, desire -sire, desire
Through your desire
We'll fight fire with fire
Fire with fire
Fire with fire
Through desire, desire -sire, desire
Through your desire

Get It Get It

My heart it dances,
Whenever I'm with you
Don't make advances
I'm scared of what you'll do.

We go out,
Have a laugh,
Have a good time,
You and I,
We go on,
Have a drink,
Have a good time
You and I

And when the night is through
It feels so right to kiss your lips
Wish I could say to you
That I've got so much
Come and get it.

Get it, get it
Get it, get it.
Hug and kiss it
Love it love it!
Get it, get it,
Get it, get it.
If you're with it
Come and get it.

Come and get it.

I'm waiting in my room
To pick you up at eight.
There's so much we can do
I promise I won't be late!

We go out,
Have a laugh,
Have a good time,
You and I,
We go on,
Have a drink,
Have a good time
You and I

And when the fun ends
I look into your eyes and say
Oh what a lovely time
I think that this might be the day to

Get it, get it
Get it, get it.
Hug and kiss it
Love it love it!
Get it, get it,
Get it, get it.
If you're with it
Come and get it.

Come and get it,

And when the night is through
It feels so right to kiss your lips
Wish I could say to you
That I've got so much
Come and get it.
And when the fun ends
I look into your eyes and say
Oh what a lovely time
I think that this might be the day to...

Get it, get it
Get it, get it.
Hug and kiss it
Love it love it!
Get it, get it,
Get it, get it.
If you're with it
Come and get it. x2

Harder You Get

You're digging deeper
Love is a creeper
I know the reaper on a first name basis
It ain't Steven
It isn't Adam
I got some apples, if you want them you can grab them

And what I really wanna do tonight is toughen you up

The harder you get
The harder I sweat
Now I'm too wet
To want it all
Beating my trunk
The faster you're done
Can't have one
You want them all

Hell is my heaven
A loaded weapon
Don't point that thing at me unless you plan to shoot
My room is darker
Than any color
I'm not your baby and I'll never be your mother

And what I really wanna do tonight is toughen you up

The harder you get
The harder I sweat
Now I'm too wet
To want it all
Beating my trunk
Faster, you're done
Can't have one
You want them all

You're sensitive to light
We're conjuring the night
You stand up with pride
Attempting to walk
You won't stabilize
Of what's become a life
Stop crying like a child
You got what you want!

You got what you want
And what I really wanna do tonight
Is toughen you up

The harder you get
The harder I sweat
Now I'm too wet
To want it all
Beating my trunk
Faster, you're done
Can't have one
You want them all

I Can't Decide

It's not easy having yourself a good time
Greasing up those bets and betters
Watching out they don't four-letter
Fuck and kiss you both at the same time
Smells-like something I've forgotten
Curled up died and now it's rotten

I'm not a gangster tonight
Don't want to be a bad guy
I'm just a loner baby
And now you're gotten in my way

I can't decide
Whether you should live or die
Oh, you'll probably go to heaven
Please don't hang your head and cry
No wonder why
My heart feels dead inside
It's cold and hard and petrified
Lock the doors and close the blinds
We're going for a ride

It's a bitch convincing people to like you
If I stop now call me a quitter
If lies were cats you'd be a litter
Pleasing everyone isn't like you
Dancing jigs until I'm crippled
Slug ten drinks I won't get pickled

I've got to hand it to you
You've played by all the same rules
It takes the truth to fool me
And now you've made me angry

I can't decide
Whether you should live or die
Oh, you'll probably go to heaven
Please don't hang your head and cry
No wonder why
My heart feels dead inside
It's cold and hard and petrified
Lock the doors and close the blinds
We're going for a ride

Oh I could throw you in the lake
Or feed you poisoned birthday cake
I wont deny I'm gonna miss you when you're gone
Oh I could bury you alive
But you might crawl out with a knife
And kill me when I'm sleeping
That's why

I can't decide
Whether you should live or die
Oh, you'll probably go to heaven
Please don't hang your head and cry
No wonder why
My heart feels dead inside
It's cold and hard and petrified
Lock the doors and close the blinds
We're going for a ride

I Don't Feel Like Dancin'

Wake up in the morning with a head like ˜what ya done?"
This used to be the life but I don't need another one.
You like cuttin' up and carrying on, you wear them gowns.
So how come I feel so lonely when you're up getting down?

So I'll play along when I hear that special song
I'm gonna be the one who gets it right.
You'd better move when you're swayin' round the room
Looks like the magic's only ours tonight

[Chorus:]
But I don't feel like dancin'
When the old Joanna plays
My heart could take a chance
But my two feet can't find a way
You'd think that I could muster up a little soft-shoe gentle sway
But I don't feel like dancin'
No sir, no dancin' today.
Don't feel like dancin', dancin'
Even if i find nothin' better to do
Don't feel like dancin', dancin'
Why'd you pick a tune when I'm not in the mood?
Don't feel like dancin', dancin'
I'd rather be home with the one in the bed till dawn, with you,

Cities come and cities go just like the old empires
When all you do is change your clothes and call that versatile.
You got so many colours make a blind man so confused.
Then why can't I keep up when you're the only thing I lose?

So I'll just pretend that I know which way to bend
And I'm gonna tell the whole world that you're mine.
Just please understand, when I see you clap your hands
If you stick around I'm sure that I'll be fine

[Chorus]

You can't make me dance around
But your two-step makes my chest pound.
Just lay me down as you float away into the shimmer light.

[Chorus]

Intermission

When you're standing on the side of a hill
Feeling like your day may be done
Here it comes
The strawberry smog
Chasing away the sun
Don't let those precious moments fool you
Happiness is getting you down
A rainbow never smiles or blinks
It's just a candy-colored frown

You were going on at half-past seven
Now it's going on a quarter 'til nine
All the angels want to know
Are you lost or treading water?
And you're going on your fifteenth bender
But you've only got a matter of time
Yes we've all got seeds to sow
Not everyone's got lambs to slaughter

When the night wind starts to turn
Into the ocean breeze
And the dew drops sting and burn
Like angry honey bees
That is when you hear the song falling from the sky
Happy yesterday to all
We were born to die

Sometimes you're filled with the notion
The afterlife's a moment away
You want to tell someone the way that you feel
But then you ain't got nothing to say
You fight for freedom from devotion
A battle that will always begin
With somebody giving you a piece of advice;
By the way you're living in sin

Now there's never gonna be an intermission
But there'll always be a closing night
Never entertain those visions
Lest you may have packed your baggage
First impressions are cheap auditions
Situations are long goodbyes
Truth so often to living dormant
Good luck walks and bullshit flies

When the headlights guide your way
You know the place is right
When the treetops sing and sway
Don't go to sleep tonight
That is when you see the sign
Luminous and high:
Tomorrow's not what it used to be
We were born to die
Happy yesterday to all
We were born to die

Invisible Light

At the doors of Babylon, You are my Zion,
Pacing Tiger, The keeper's cage,
Invisible light shoots from your eyes,
A sign I can see from my high rise,

Another castle crumbles, another monkey falls,
Just open up your joy and let the sailors climb the walls,
I thought I saw you laughing 10 feet in the air,
It doesn't matter if they touch you where because you can give me...

An Invisible light, An invisible light uh-oh,
An Invisible light, An invisible light uh-oh,
An Invisible light, An invisible light uh-oh,
An Invisible light, An invisible light to keep me alive oh,
looking for the tension
I can feel it with the fingers in my mind...

Opiate Utopia is hotter by the hour,
I found you a flower in a field,
My invention, among the tired, among the poor,
Among the broken, the huddled masses,
Its your time...

You answer to a new name that changes all the time,
I'll call you anything you want if I can say it's mine.
This story's never ending.
My footprint's been erased.
Here you are, kiss of Evil,
I see your mouth, Or is it really...

An Invisible light, An invisible light uh-oh,
An Invisible light, An invisible light uh-oh,
An Invisible light, An invisible light uh-oh,
An Invisible light, An invisible light to keep me alive oh,
Something really gets dimension,
Can't you feel it bend your sense of time...

Babylon,
Where bricks of water and diamonds tower,
Sailor's lust and swagger lazing in the moon's beams,
Who's laser gaze penetrates this sparkling theater of excess and strobed lights,
Painted Whores. Sexual Gladiators. Fiercely old Party Children.
All waked from their slumber to debut the Baccara.
Come to the Light! Into the Light! The Invisible Light...

It Can't Come Quickly Enough

Sailling through the tunnels
In the morning by yourself
There's a very special feeling
True sensation all is well
If you stand and reach your arms out wide
Close your eyes and try to fly
It's an underground illusion
Tricking you from side to side

We knew all the answers
And we shouted them like anthems
Anxious and suspicious
That God knew how much we cheated

It can't come quickly enough
And now you've spent your life
Waiting for this moment
And when you finally saw it come
It passed you by and left you so defeated

Skyscrapers rise between us
Keeping me from finding you
If the concrete architecture
Dissapeared there'd be so few
Of us left to navigate and
Defend ourselves from the tide
It's an underground illusion
Tricking you from side to side

There's no indication of
What we were meant to be
Sucking up to strangers
Throwing wishes to the sea

It can't come quickly enough
And now you've spent your life
Waiting for this moment
And when you finally saw it come
It passed you by and
Left you so defeated

Kiss You Off

You say you see what's under me
That the gloss has washed away
But you're the one whose colour's gone
From love to dirty grey
Questions come alive in the middle of the day
Over and over again
Watch me start a fire in the middle of your shade
That's why I'm telling you I'm gonna

Kiss you off my lips
I don't need another tube of that dime store lipstick
Well I think I'm gonna buy me a brand new shade of man
Kiss you off my lips
It's standing room only for a piece of my pigment
So excuse me a minute while I supply demand
Kiss you off these lips of mine
Kiss you off for a custom shine
Pissed yours truly off this time
It's why I ain't just kissin' you I'm kissin' you off

Spare this child your sideways smile
That crack in your veneer
Some blue broad will spoil your rod
It just takes patience dear
They rush you for your life
But you'll never beat the game
Older and older you get
Crush you like a gyre
But the gimble's all the same
Oh no I think it's happening

Kiss you off my lips
I don't need another tube of that dime store lipstick
Well I think I'm gonna buy me a brand new shade of man
Kiss you off my lips
It's standing room only for a piece of my pigment
So excuse me a minute while I supply demand
Kiss you off these lips of mine
Kiss you off for a custom shine
Pissed yours truly off this time
It's why I ain't just kissin' you I'm kissin' you off

Land Of A Thousand Words

Another constellation dies
Do what you want 'cause it's your own sky
Just call me when the phone stops ringing
Thanks for coming by
I'm just glad I'm on your good side
Where it's smoldering or freezing
It's never all that easy to decide

This is the land of a thousand words
But it seems so few are worth the breath to say
Except I'll be looking after my own world
And you just keep on saving the day
I'll try to stay but it's in vain when you're far
I'm on the run to wherever you are

And that's the nature of the chase
You fall so far behind you end in first place
Pass the torch this time we're running to each's own regret
There'sno harm in playing hard to get
Boundlessness deceives me
But maybe you may turn the corner yet

This is the land of a thousand words
But it seems so few are worth the breath to say
Except I'll be looking after my own world
And you just keep on saving the day
I'll try to stay but it's in vain when you're far
I'm on the run to wherever you are

I'm a gonna do everything I say
Tried to stay but time's running out
But now I'm on my way

Laura

Laura, can't you give me some time,
I got to give myself one more chance.
To be the man that I know I am.
To be the man that I know I am.
Won't you just tell Cincinnati,
I'm Gonna need your love.
Don't you give me your love?

Don't you give me your,
Come On,
Come On,
Where is your love?
Don't you give me your love,
Don't you give me your,
Come On,
Come On,
Where is your love?
Don't you give me your love?
Don't you give me your.

[Instrumental]

Freeda, cant you spare me a dime?
I got to give myself one more chance.
To ring the band that I know I'm in.
To ring the band that I know I'm in.
Won't you just tell Baby Daddy,
I'm gonna need his love.
Why don't he give me he love?
Why don't he give me he,
Come On,
Come On,
Where is your love?
Don't you give me your love,
Don't you give me your,
Come On,
Come On,
Where is your love?
Don't you give me your love.
Don't you give me your.

This'll be the last time,
I ever do your hair.
One face among the many,
I never thought you cared.
This'll be the last time,
I ever do your hair.
One face among the many,
I never thought you cared

Lights

No pussyfootin' or that look of surprise
Can't hide the holes in your eyes or cover up that bitter smile
All the birds can see that you're heading south
That mirror deep in your mouth reflects you running on for miles

When you cut the lights out think of me
When you cut the lights out think of all the things you can't see
But are they real?
That face will be revealed

Nobody's callin' that payphone in your mind
I wonder just what they find but that line's busy all the time
I ain't got nothing but your seed on my face
You'll put them babies to waste without your finger in the pie

When you cut the lights out think of me
When you cut the lights out think of all the things you can't see
But are they real?
That face will be revealed

My mama told me one thing I'll remember till I die
The one you want the most will be the one that you defy
The times they're gonna love you
Like stitches in the scar
You can never run from trouble
'Cause there ain't no place that far

When you cut the lights out think of me
When you cut the lights out think of all the things you can't see
But are they real?
That face will be revealed

Lovers In The Backseat

She's quiet when shes down
Strangers from other towns
Nowhere to be found
On this side of the scene

Would you like a cigarette,
Or my hand upon your shoulder?
I think we might have met
Would you like me to come over?

There's lovers in the backseat
Jealous glances now I'm looking for another song
On the radio
I'll take you to a side street
In the shadows you can touch one another now
And I'll just watch the show

She's happy when she's proud
Attention well deserved
Exuberant and loud
A disguise can he know?
How much she needs him now
There's static on the sidelines
Can you read my thoughts?
Maybe its the right time

There's lovers in the backseat
Jealous glances now I'm looking for another song
On the radio
I'll take you to a side street
In the shadows you can touch one another now
And I'll just watch the show

Mary

I love the tone that's in your laugh
Gasping for an extra breath
Waiting for the time to pass
I believe in days ahead
Don't spend another night alone
Cross and wishing you were dead

Mary, you should'nt let 'em make you mad
You hold the best you can
And Mary, after all the pain is gone
I'm always gonna live to be your man

I've had it easy now you see
When I'm down your'e always there
Standing by to comfort me
Someday we'll go round the world
I'll make the journey so sublime
I know you're not a travelln' girl

Mary, you should'nt let 'em make you mad
You hold the best you can
And Mary, after all the pain is gone
I'm always gonna live to be your man

Cause I'd give everything I have
Forget all the things that bring me joy
If you could have one day
Pure and simple happiness
Until that moment comes
I'll be here where I've always been
I'm gonna be your friend
Until the day I die

Mary, you should'nt let 'em make you mad
You hold the best you can
And Mary, after all the pain is gone
I'm always gonna live to be your man

Might Tell You Tonight

When you're quiet, but your eyes
Are saying everything I need to know
I want to burrow like a sparrow
Dodging alley cats and whiskers
Why do we talk in whispers?
Is it painful hearing voices ring
So early in the morning?

I've been waiting for the day
When I can throw away these numbers
That line my dresser drawers and cupboards
Start me over
Life seems so much slower
With your toothbrush by the mirror
Can I make it any clearer?

And I just might say it tonight
I just might say it tonight
I just might tell you tonight
That I love you
And you should stay all my life

They'll tell you that you'll maybe make it
If you just cut your clothes and change your hair
But I won't fuss and moan
'bout what you wear
I feel so much better
When I read your dirty letters
Just wear your sweaters in the winter
'Cause I wonuldn't want you to get cold
I hope that we're togethre when we're old
I would have sold all my possessions
Never took piano lessons
But baby you're a grand
And I will learn to play the good notes
And tune you up the best I can

And I just might say it tonight
I just might say it tonight
I just might tell you tonight
That I love you
And you should stay all my life

You know, monkeys make great pets.
It's like having a baby that never grows up.
And they look so cute in diapers.
And they look up at you with those big soft brown saucer eyes
and they say to you...

(monkey sounds)

(Baby)

Music Is The Victim

I left my heart in San Fransisco
I'ts at some motherfucking disco
The people there where dancin' on it
And that's including Ms. Matronic

Hell if music is the victim then so am I
Of lovin' and a cheatin' the snake gon' bite
I beg and I scream and I cuss and I cry
If music is the victim then som am I

Of your bad fun
Money's all gone but you need some
Lover's on the phone but the got none
Daddy ain't home from the dog run
And you're riding through the city with a shotgun

I left my bag in Pasadena
Where all them girls was doin' Tina
Them bitches sure where crunked up on it
I said I'd rather smoke som chronic

Hell if music is the victim then so am I
Of lovin' and a cheatin' the snake gon' bite
I beg and I scream and I cuss and I cry
If music is the victim then som am I

Of your bad fun
Money's all gone but you need some
Lover's on the phone but the got none
Daddy ain't home from the dog run
And you're riding through the city with a shotgun

I left my man in Houston Texas
Just before he finished breakfast
He said; oh baby fry some more eggs
But I was runnin' on my own two legs

Hell if Jesus had the power than so do I
To rise up from the dead and take up to the sky
I'm bustin' for the money so I get by
If music is the victim then so am I

Night Life

I was a young girl
Knew next to nothing
Living in the suburbs
And my heart was lusting

For a new way
And a new sound
Crawled over my hang-ups
In the underground

I had a break through
I had to shake you
You could've come too
To see my point of view

We got a breakthrough
It was my debut
It didn't faze you
But it meant something to me

Night life, beneath the surface
Night life, some say it's worthless
High life, instead of being
Inside, it's a song you're singing

Night life, if there's no spirit
Night life, then don't go near it
Night life, to have it over
Inside, you can find your life in the night life

If you are feeling
Like you don't have nothing
Under pressure in the cooker
With your head in the oven

There's a new way
So come on down
Life ain't never really over
When you're underground

You need a breakthrough
You need to make do
You need to come to
A brand new point of view

You need to break through
And then get wise too
Our love is taboo
And you'll be something to see

Night life, beneath the surface
Night life, some say it's worthless
High life, instead of being
Inside, it's a song you're singing

Night life, it's a heart you're racing
Night life, it's a billion daisies
Night life, it's the cash your making
Inside, you can find your life in the night life

It's beneath the surface
Some say it's worthless
It's a low gut feeling
It's the rush you're feeling

You can beg your spirit
If you let that leave it
It's the back you're breaking
Are you ready for the night life

Night life, night life
Night life, love life, inside

Find your way to hide in the night life
(Night life, night life, night life)
You can find a life in the night life
(Night life, love life, inside)

Find your way to hide in the night life
You can find a life in the night life

Night Work

When I was a young boy I pretended I had a job
My daddy said 'Pretty woman, Mama married into the mob'
I dreamed one day I'd be livin' off the system for free
But dreams come true, honey; welcome to my reality

And I sleep all day and wake myself in the shadows
(Time to get up, gotta get up)
Gotta catch that train by midnight for the

Night work
Gotta do the night work
Punch that clock and break all the numbers
Night work
Gotta do the night work
Weekday 9 to 5 shift is over

I didn't have a penny
No, I couldn't cut a check with a blade
I used to have the shakes
But now they're good at getting me played

I sleep all day but I break my back in the moonlight
(never enough, it's never enough)
Gotta cash that check by midnight for the

Night work
Gotta do the night work
Punch that clock and break all the numbers
Night work
Gotta do the night work
Weekday 9 to 5 shift is over

Night work
Gotta do the night work
Punch that clock and break all the numbers
Night work
Gotta do the night work
Weekday 9 to 5 shift is over

And when the whistle blows
And your body can't take it no more
You gotta keep on movin', remember
This is what you asked for

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-night work
Na-na-na-na-na-na-night work
Night work
Gotta do the night work
Night work gotta do the night work
Weekday 9 to 5 shift is over

Ooh

Some people say such awful things
I don't understand why they're so hateful
We don't need those diamond rings
Even though they look tasteful
Chichi parties
So important
Sink a fortune
High-class apartment
One or two ooh-oohs
Make you feel so good
It's not a threat to nobody
In fact the people should

Oooh
Don't you give me them blues
I got magic in my dancing shoes
Let me hear you say ooooh

When you talk sweet things in my ear
I get so hot inside I'm burning my clothes
Measure distances with tears
The tracks'll run for miles when I feel those
Mixed emotions
In your heart
Guilty feelings
You fall apart
One or two ooooh's
Nothing left to lose
I'm not a threat to nobody
Don't try and give me them blues

Oooh
Don't you give me them blues
I got magic in my dancing shoes
Let me hear you say ooooh

Say honey baby don't you know
Ain't got any money left to blow
Can't buy you no snow cone
Even when it's hot outside

Wanna make love show you what I can do
Pocket that rug and ride the groove
Just lemme go dance and give me no blues tonight

Oooh
Don't you give me them blues
I got magic in my dancing shoes
Let me hear you say ooooh
