Draw The Line

Checkmate honey

Beat you at your own damn game

No dice honey

I’m livin’ on the astral plane

Feet’s on the ground

Your head’s going down the drain

Heads I win, tails you lose

To the never mind

That’s where I Draw The Line

An indian summer

Carrie was all over the floor

She was a wet net winner

And rarely ever left the store

She’d sing and dance all night

And wrong all the right out of me

Pass me the vile and cross your fingers

It don’t take time

Know where to Draw The Line

You told Carrie

And promised her you wouldn’t be long

Heads I win, tails you lose

Lord it’s such a crime

No dice honey

You’re salt, you’re the queen of the brine

Checkmate honey

You’re the only one who’s got to choose

Where to Draw The Line

Checkmate, don’t be late

Take another pull

That’s right

Impossible

When you got to be yourself

You’re the boss, the toss

The price, the dice

Grab yourself a slice

Know where to Draw The Line

(Repeat)

2.  I Wanna Know Why

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
—————————————————
3.  Critical Mass

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 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
———————————————————-
4.  Get It Up

Take me on your rockin’ horse

Hit the lights and shut your doors

Grab your ankles, everyone

Ain’t my way of havin’ fun

(Chorus)

Can’t give it up

Gotta give it up, give it up

C’mon Nancy

Can’t give it up

Gotta Get It Up, Get it Up

For your fancy

Can’t Get It Up,

Gotta Get It Up, Get it Up

C’mon Nancy

Can’t Get It Up

Gotta Get It Up, Get It Up

Really have a good time

Really have a good time

Suckin’ up the moonshine

Up underneath her clothesline

Really have a good time

Love me ’til the sun

(Chorus)

Get It Up and down and all around

Take a ride and paint the town

Slow me down and make it fast

Scream almost and make it last

You know you gotta

Really have a good time

You know you’re really gonna

Really have a good time

Suckin’ up the moonshine

Up underneath her clothesline

You know you really gonna

Really have a good time

You know you really wanna love me

‘Til the sun can’t Get It Up
——————————————————
5.  Bright Light Fright

It’s the dawn of the day

And I’m crashed and I’m smashed

And it is I’m feelin’

Like my chips are cashed

All of my clothes

Strewn all over the room

The crisis at hand is

I’m all out of zoom

(Chorus)

I got the sunlight blues

I can’t find my shoes

The only thing on TV

Is the Good Morning News

The tricks of the night

Keepin’ me in a daze

Open a bottle

And I’ll pull down the shades

Glance in the mirror

Back into bed

Forget that it’s day

Time to party again

(Chrous)

Bright Light Fright

Bright Light Fright

Bright Light Fright

Give me the night

(Repeat)

(Repeat Chorus)
—————————————-
6.  Kings And Queens

Long ago in days untold

Were ruled by lords of greed

Maidens fair, with gold they dared

To bare their wombs that bleed

Kings And Queens and guillotines

Taking lives denied

Starch and parchments laid the laws

When bishops took the ride

Only to deceive

Oh I know I

Lived this life before

Somehow I know now

Truths I must be sure

Tossin’ turnin’, nightmares burnin’

Dreams of swords in hand

Sailing ships, the Viking spits

The blood of father’s land

Only to deceive

Living times of knights and mares

Raising swords for maidens fair

Sneer at death, fear only loss of pride

Living other centuries

Deja vú or what you please

Follows true to all who do or die

Screams of no reply

They died

Screams of no reply

And died

Lordy, Lordy, they died
——————————————————-
7.   Hand That Feeds

Doctor, doctor, doctor

Please, doctor, doctor, please

Doctor, doctor, doctor

Feel like an old disease

Get your sweet ass off the floor

Doctor, doctor, doctor

I can’t refuse any loose hearted lady anymore

I scream your name into the crowd

You feel the flame, but yo ain’t proud

Maybe your attitude ain’t right

So all that’s left for me to do is bite

The Hand That Feeds me

Feeds me

Doctor, doctor, doctor

Doctor, doctor, please

All things you put me through

What the hell you want me to

Do all the things that uncle John needs

I ain’t the dog that bites the Hand That Feeds me

In the middle of, with a spittle of

Et tu like birds of a feather

When another day, love another way

Push, shove, make love, play

Never never, never ever

Never ever, never ever

Na, na…

Doctor, doctor, doctor

Please do a-what you can

Doctor, doctor, doctor

Would you please give my life a hand

All the things you put me trough

What the hell you want me to

Do all the things that uncle John needs

I ain’t the dog that bites The Hand That Feeds me, yeah

Doctor, doctor, doctor

Doctor, doctor, please

(Repeat)

8.  Sight For Sore Eyes

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 gritty

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
—————————————————————
9.  Milk Cow Blues

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 believe in me

You pack me 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…

2.  Eat The Rich

Well I woke up this morning

On the wrong side of the bed

And how I got to thinkin’

About all the things you said

About ordinary people

And how they make you sick

And if callin’ names kicks back on you

Then I hope this does the trick

‘Cause I’m sick of your complainin’

About how many bills

And I’m sick of all your bitchin’

‘Bout your poodles and your pills

And I just can’t see no humor

About your way of life

And I think I can do more for you

With this here fork and knife

(Chorus)

Eat The Rich

There’s only one thing that they are good for

Eat The Rich

Take one bite now – come back for more

Eat The Rich

I gotta get this off my chest

Eat The Rich

Take one bite now – spit out the rest

So I called up my head shrinker

And I told him what I’d done

He said you best go on a diet

Yeah, I hope you have some fun

And a don’t go burst the bubble

On rich folks who get rude

‘Cause you won’t get in no trouble

When you eats that kinda food

Now they’re smokin’ up their junk bonds

And then they go get stiff

And they’re dancin’ in the yacht club

With Muff and uncle Biff

But there’s one good thing that happens

When you toss your pearls to swine

Their attitudes may taste like shit

But go real good with wine

Chorus

Believe in all the good things

That money just can’t buy

Then you won’t get no bellyache

From eatin’ humble pie

I believe in rags to riches

Your inheritance won’t last

So take your Gray Poupon my friend

And shove it up your ass

Chorus

Eat The Rich

There’s only one thing that they are good for

Eat The Rich

Take one bite now – come back for more

Eat The Rich

Don’t stop me now, I’m goin’ crazy

Eat The Rich

That’s my idea of a good time baby

3.  Get A Grip

Gotta get a grip

Skin and bones it ain’t such a pity

If you think I’m vain, better shut ya lip

I can’t explain how to be a fat city

You gotta live large, gotta let it rip

Skin and bones it ain’t such a pity

Don’t ya gimme no flack, honey shut ya lip

Ya gotta have stones if you’re livin in the city

If you wanna hang loose gotta get a grip

Once upon a crime I thought I was cool

But I don’t want to brag

Once I crossed the line

I think I musta zigged when I shoulda zagged

Chorus

Same old same old everyday

If things don’t change you’re just gonna rot

Cause if you do what you’ve always done

You’ll always get what you always got

Chorus

Who knows for sure yeah without a doubt

What goes on when the lights are out

Or who pulls in when I pull out

And what is a one-eyed trouser trout?

I was so short-sighted

Now the wrong been righted

I feel so delighted

I get so excited

Chorus

You wanna get high in a New York minute

Choke that smoke, honey crack the whip

Your head gets dead as long as you’re in it

You wanna hang loose gotta get a grip

4.  Fever

I got a rip in my pants

And a hole in my brand new shoes

I got a Margarita nose

And a breath full of Mad Dog Booze

(Chorus)

I got the fever, fever, fever, fever

Yeah, they threw me outta jail

I tell ya it ain’t fair

I tried to kiss the judge

From the electrica’ chair

Yeah we’re all here

‘Cause we’re not all there tonight

The guitar’s cranked

And the bass man’s blown a fuse

And when the whole gang bangs

Tell me then what is your excuse?

(Chorus)

Fever gives you lust with an appetite

It hits you like the fangs

From a rattlesnake bite

Yeah we’re all here

‘Cause we’re not all there tonight

We can’t run away from trouble

There ain’t no place that far

But if we do it right at the speed of light

There’s the backseat of my car – caviar

I was feelin’ so high I forgot what day

Now I’m feeling low down

Even slow feels way to fast

And now the booze don’t work

‘Cause the drugs ran out of gas

(Chorus)

The buzz that you’re gettin’

From the crack don’t last

I’d rather be O.D.in’ on the crack of her ass

Yeah we’re all here

‘Cause we’re not all there tonight

My first time ever lover

We fell asleep out on the lawn

And when I woke up I was all alone

Making love to the crack of dawn

So yo, I beg yo pardon sir

The gangster of love rides again

You now I gotta chill

It gimme such a thrill

Like a burnin’ plague

Yeah get outta my way

Fever may be Hell and a cross to bear

As long as I’m in heaven, honey I don’t care

You look so good baby, look so fine

I tell you you’re the image of a perfect crime

You get so tired holdin’ on so tight

If you think you’re goin’ crazy

Well you may be right

Yeah we’re all here

‘Cause we’re not all there tonight

5.  Livin On The Edge

There’s something wrong with the world today

I don’t know what it is

Something’s wrong with our eyes

We’re seeing things in a different way

And God knows it ain’t His

It sure ain’t no surprise

(YA!)

(Chorus)

We’re livin’ on the edge

We’re livin’ on the edge

We’re livin’ on the edge

We’re livin’ on the edge

There’s something wrong with the world today

The lightbulb’s gettin’ dim

There’s a meltdown in the sky

If you can judge a wise man

By the color of his skin

Then mister, you’re a better man than I

(Chorus)

Livin’ on the edge

You can’t help yourself from fallin’

Livin’ on the edge

You can’t help yourself from fallin’

Livin’ on the edge

You can’t help yourself from fallin’

Livin’ on the edge

You can’t help yourself from fallin’

Tell me what you think about your situation

Complication – aggravation

Is getting to you

If chicken little tells you that the sky is fallin’

Even if it wasn’t would you still come crawling

Back again – I bet you would my friend

Again & Again & Again & Again & Again

Tell me what you think about your situation

Complication – aggravation

Is getting to you

If chicken little tells you that the sky is fallin’

Even if it wasn’t would you still come crawling

Back again – I bet you would my friend

Again & Again & Again & Again

Something right with the world today

And everybody knows it’s wrong

But we can tell ‘em no

Or we can let it go

But I would rather be a hanging on

(Chorus)

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

6.  Flesh

The day rolls in, the night rolls out

Desire rules without a doubt

The heart beats fast, you salivate

And when you come, it won’t be late

I guess by now, you got the score

A little taste you want it more

From San Antone to Marrakesh

Yeah, when the night comes

Everybody’s gotta have Flesh

Flesh – the only thing that’s worth the sweat

From the day that Eve did Adam

Down to Romeo and Juliet

Everybody gotta have

The prince of lust has met his match

The witch has brewed her baddest batch

His sword is sharp and hard as stone

Her cauldron begs for one more bone

And so my love, this story’s told

From modern times to days of old

From Boston, Mass to Bangladesh

Yeah, when the night comes

Everybody’s gotta have Flesh

Flesh – It’s got me all soaking wet

from the Mississippi River

To the highest mountain in Tibet

Everybody gotta have

Flesh – you got me all soakin’ wet

Flesh – the only thing that’s worth the sweat

Flesh – you got me all soakin’ wet

Flesh – the only thing, the only thing, the only thing

From a Sufi in a Rickshaw

To a bimbo in a pink Corvette

Everybody gotta have

7.  Walk On Down

You wonder why you got holes in your shoes

You wonder why they got more money than you

You wonder why you got nothin’ to lose

It makes no sense, don’t try to figure it out

You gotta – Walk On Down

Walk On Down – Walk On Down

When you’re shit outta luck

There’s just one thing to do and that’s

Walk On Down – Walk On Down – Walk On Down

When you’re shit outta luck

There’s just one thing to do and that’s

Yeah, huh

Well, she says that she loves you

In your mind there’s no doubt

You feel like a stranger

When the lights go out

As you lie there awake you think

‘This ain’t no gift’

Don’t try to figure

That weight’s to heavy to lift

You gotta – Walk On Down

Walk On Down – Walk On Down

When you’re shit outta luck

There’s just one thing to do and that’s

Walk On Down – Walk On Down

‘Cause I got no time to lose

It’s my life if I choose

Put on my walking shoes

Walk On Down – Walk On Down – Walk On Down

When you’re shit outta luck

There’s just one thing to do and that’s

Walk On Down – Walk On Down – Walk On Down

When you’re shit outta luck

There’s just one thing to do and that’s

Walk On Down

8.  Shut Up and Dance

Talk is cheap, Shut Up And Dance

Don’t get deep, Shut Up And Dance

Love has got me down

A tear just hit the ground

So I started writing you this song

But the words I wrote came out all wrong

Yeah, but it’s all right

(Chorus)

When you can’t define the crime

The life ain’t worth a dime

When they take away everything you got

And they rub your nose in the funky spot

Not without a fight

(Chorus)

When you work your fingers to the bone

Now what does that get you – Nothing

In a crowd of people you’re still alone

And you hope that tells you – Something

The road to Heaven is paved in Hell

And it makes you wonder

Why we’re here at all

Check out the shape of your circumstance

He wears the dress and she wears the pants

Here comes Jill and she needs romance

But you can’t do jack so Shut Up And Dance

Sex is like a gun – You aim, you shoot, you run

When you’re splittin’ heads with Mr Clean

It’s like gettin’ head from a guillotine

And the night has just begun

Chorus

9.  Cryin

There was a time

When I was so brokenhearted

Love wasn’t much of a friend of mine

The tables have turned, yeah

Cause me and them ways have parted

That kind of love was the killin kind

All I want is someone I can’t resist

I know all I need to know

By the way that you kiss

I was cryin when I met you

Now I’m tryin to forget you

Love is sweet misery

I was cryin just to get you

Now I’m dyin cause I let you

Do what you do down on me

Now there’s not even breathin room

Between pleasure and pain

Yeah, you cry when we’re makin love

Must be one and the same

It’s down on me

Yeah, I got to tell you one thing

It’s been on my mind

Girl, I gotta say

We’re partners in crime

You got that certain something

What you give to me

Takes my breath away

Now the word out on the street

Is the devil’s in your kiss

If our love goes up in flames

It’s a fire I can’t resist

I was cryin when I met you

Now I’m tryin to forget you

Your love is sweet misery

I was cryin just to get you

Now I’m dyin cause I let you

Do what you do down on me

Cause what you got inside

Ain’t where your love should stay

Yeah, our love, sweet love, ain’t love

Til you give your heart away

I was cryin when I met you

Now I’m tryin to forget you

Your love is sweet misery

I was cryin just to get you

Now I’m dyin cause I let you

Do what you do what you do down to me

10. Gotta Love It

Psychedelic Sandwich

Any way you can feel it

You shouldn’t try to conceal it baby

You got to make up your mind

Any way I can steal it

Any way you can deal it to me

You know the pleasure’s all mine

(Chorus)

You gotta love it

You better own it

You gotta love it

And God knows it

You gotta shut uh shove it

I’m gonna make things happen

Goin’ round n’ round n’ round…

That’s Right!

I wanna say you’re a firecracker

I wanna say you’re a switchblade knife

You make your sex a career

Comin’ down from an all night tripper

Pull your foot from the ruby slipper

‘Cause you can’t get it from here

(Chorus)

Goin’ round n’ round n’ round n’ round….

I got this feeling deep inside my love

Overwhelming feeling but I know not what

One thing’s for sure I ain’t got time for those

Who can’t relate

You gotta learn to love the midnight madness

You gotta revel in the good and badness

If Yin n’ Yang is your thing

What I gotta do to try and reach ya

Is it for real or just a double feature

So let’s go throw the I Ching

Chorus

11. Crazy

Come here baby

You know you drive me up the wall

The way you make good for all the nasty tricks you pull

Seems like we’re makin’ up more than we’re makin’ love

And it always seems you’ve got something on your mind

Other than me

Girl, you gotta change your crazy ways – you hear me

Say you’re leavin’ on the seven thirty train

And that you’re heading out to Hollywood

Girl, you’ve been givin’ me that line so many times

It kinda gets that feelin’ bad looks good

That kinda lovin’ turns a man to a slave

That kinda lovin’ sends a man right to his grave

(Chorus)

I go crazy, crazy, baby, I go crazy

You turn it on – then you’re gone

Yeah you drive me crazy, crazy, crazy for you baby

What can I do, honey

I feel like the color blue

You’re packin’ up your stuff and tryin’ to tell me

That it’s time to go

But I know you ain’t wearin’ nothin’ underneath that

overcoat and that it’s all a show

That kinda lovin’ makes me wanna pull down the shade, yeah

That kinda lovin’ yeah, now I’m never gonna be the same

(Chorus)

I’m losing my mind

Girl, ’cause I’m goin’ crazy

I need your love, honey, yeah

I need your love

(Chorus)

12. Line Up

If you think that you’re strong

Wanna fight well come on

And Line Up

When the goin’ gets tough

And your talk ain’t enough then come on

And Line Up

We gotta get up, get out before they get us down

‘Cause livin’ up against the wall, yeah

Has got us locked up

Come on and Line Up

So don’t be surprised

When they pull the wool over your eyes

Yeah, don’t get funked up

If you got all the stuff

And you can’t get enough

Then Line Up

And you wanna come in

Then Line Up

Your head’s down, sittin’ ’round

Pick yo face up off the ground

And get yourself together baby

And learn to stand tough

Come on an Line Up

Instead of just standin’ around

Then Line Up – Line Up

If you think that you’re strong

Wanna fight well come on

And Line Up – Line Up

13. Amazing

I kept the right ones out

And let the wrong ones in

Had a angel of mercy to see me

Through all my sins

There were times in my life

When I was goin insane

Tryin to walk through the pain

When I lost my grip

And I hit the floor

Yeah, I thought I could leave

But couldn’t get out the door

I was so sick and tired

Of livin a lie

I was wishin that I would die

It’s amazin

With the blink of an eye

You finally see the light

It’s amazin

When the moment arrives

That you know you’ll be alright

And I’m sayin a prayer

For the desperate hearts tonight

That one last shot’s a permanent vacation

And how high can you fly with broken wings?

Life’s a journey, not a destination

And I just can’t tell just what tomorrow will bring

You have to learn to crawl

Before you learn to walk

But I just couldn’t listen to

All that righteous talk

I was out on the street just tryin to survive

Scratchin to stay alive

Chorus
