Blitzkreig Bop

Hey ho, let's go Hey ho, let's go

Hey ho, let's go Hey ho, let's go
They're forming in straight line
They're going through a tight wind
The kids are losing their minds
The Blitzkrieg Bop
They're piling in the back seat
They're generating steam heat
Pulsating to the back beat
The Blitzkrieg Bop
Hey ho, let's go
Shoot'em in the back now
What they want, I don't know
They're all reved up and ready to go
They're forming in straight line
They're going through a tight wind
The kids are losing their minds
The Blitzkrieg Bop
They're piling in the back seat
They're generating steam heat
Pulsating to the back beat
The Blitzkrieg Bop
Hey ho, let's go Shoot'em in the back now
What they want, I don't know

You cause you're a bore I need somebody good I need a miracle
Should I take a chance on her? one bullet in the cylinder

And in a moment of passion get the glory like Charles Manson

You gotta go go go go goodbye Glad to see you go go go go goodbye

You lose your imagination
Out of more aggravation
And you don't come close

Only thing that you regret
You need more time to forget

Needles & Pins

I saw her today, I saw her face

It was the face of love, and I knew
I had to run away
And get down on my knees and pray, that they go away
And still it begins, needles and pins
Because of all my pride, the tears I gotta hide
Oh I thought I was smart, I stole her heart
I didn't think I'd do, but now I see
She's worth to him than me, let her go ahead
Take his love instead, and one day she will see
Just how to say please, and get down on her knees
Oh that's how it begins, she'll feel those needle and pins
Hurtin' her, hurtin' her
Why can't stop, and tell myself I'm wrong, I'm wrong, so wrong
Why can't I stand up, and tell myself I'm strong
Because, saw her today, I saw her face
It was the face of love, and I knew
I had to run away
And get down on my knees and pray, that they go away
And still it begins, needles and pins
Because of all my pride, the tears I gotta hide
Needle and pins, needle and pins, needle and pins

Sha-la-la-la-la-la

Keep it glowing, glowing,glowing

I'm not hurting anyone
Keep it glowing, smoking, glowing
I'm howling at the moon
I took the law & threw it away
Cause there's nothing wrong
It's just for play
Theres no law, no law anymore
I want to steal from the rich and
Give to the poor

Oh baby
Oh baby
Oh baby
Oh baby

I took the law and threw it away

Cause there's nothing wrong
It's just for play

I'm smoking, baby

I'm smoking, oh baby

Theres no law, no law anymore

I want to steal from the rich and
Give to the poor

Sha-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la

Mama's Boy

Couldn't keep a secret

Got a concrete skull
Couldn't shut up you're an imbecile
You're an ugly dog there's
Nothing to gain
You couldn't shut up got a
Bad bad brain

Couldn't hold your tongue

You were just too young
Like a two year old you told
You told
You are all the same jelly
Bean brain
Every one's a secret nerd
Every one's a closet lame

Ma-ma-ma-mama's boy

Don't want to work in a hot dog stand

Be a busboy messenger or a doorman
It's an abstract world you're an
Abstract man
Abstract city don't give a damn

Daytime Dilemma (Dangers Of Love)

She came from a happy home

A very happy home
A very happy home

Miss personality, a grade 'a' student naturally

She had it all worked out

But things aren't what they seem
Is this real or just a dream
And things will never ever be the same again

She came from a happy home

A very happy home
A home of happiness

Miss personality, a grade 'A' student naturally

She had it all in place
But things aren't what they seem
Is this real or just a dream
Things will never ever be the same again

The dangers, its the dangers of love

The dangers, its the dangers of love

She came from a happy home

A very happy home
A very happy scene

She caught him with another

It turns out it was her mother
What a tragedy
Can things be what they seem
Is this just some crazy dream
Things may never ever be the same again

The dangers, its the dangers of love

The dangers, its the dangers of love

Keep telling li-ie-ies, but you did

You know you did
Its coming,.its coming,.its coming
The dangers, its the dangers of love
The dangers, its the dangers of love

What went wrong she couldn't tell

But we know it all too well

The dangers, its the dangers of love

The dangers, its the dangers of love

I'm Not Afraid Of Life

I am not afraid of life

Of the poor man's struggle
Of the killer's knife
I am not afraid of life
Of an insane rage
Of the minimum wage
I am not afraid of life

I am not afraid of life

I am not afraid of life

But I see an old lady with a shopping bag

And I wonder is life a drag

I am not afraid of pain

But it hurts so bad
I feel so mad
No one see the truth
There's nothing to gain
A life goes down the drain
Don't want to die at an early age

I am not afraid of life

I am not afraid of life

But I see a street crazy shivering with cold

Is it a crime to be old

There's the threat of the nuclear bomb

We know it's wrong
We know it's wrong
Is there a chance for peace
Will the fighting ever cease
Mankind's almost out of luck
A maniac could blow us up

I am not afraid of life

I am not afraid of life

But I get down on my knees and I pray

Is there hope for the world today

Too Tough To Die

I am a tu tu tu tu tough tough guy

I tell no tales I do no lie

I am a tu tu tu tu tough tough guy

Halo round my head to tough to die

Main attraction in a freak side show

Down in the basement where the cobwebs grow
On my last leg just gettin' by
Halo round my read too tough to die

Rainy days rain cool wine

I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine
Hot sweat on my face
I feel like goin' out someplace

Up late light my chocolate sweet

Down at the gym where the muscle boys meet
I am very nice guy very sincere
In real good shape I have no fear

At the concert when the band comes on

I am in the ring where I belong
On my last leg just gettin' by
Halo round my head too tough to die

Endless Vacation

I kill myself kill the pain

A suicide death a suicide game
My skull he's bleaching in the dust
My rage turns to insane lust

All depressed all alone

I drift into the danger zone
Deadly spitten cobra life of crime
I want revenge I want what's mine

Like takin' carrie to the high school prom

Something's always goin' wrong
Hair trigger temper tormented mind
Deadly spitten cobra I am losin' kind

The heart is the place devils congregate

When you're raised on andiet of bickering at hate
Hair trigger temper tormented mind
Deadly spitten cobra I am losin' kind

Endless vacation
Endless vacation
Endless vacation

My Brain Is Hanging Upside Down (Bonzo Goes To Bitburg)

You've got to pick up the pieces

C'mon, sort your trash
You better pull yourself back together
Maybe you've got too much cash
Better call, call the law
When you gonna turn yourself in? Yeah
You're a politician
Don't become one of Hitler's children

Bonzo goes to bitburg then goes out for a cup of tea

As I watched it on TV somehow it really bothered me
Drank in all the bars in town for an extended foreign policy
Pick up the pieces

My brain is hanging upside down

I need something to slow me down

Shouldn't wish you happiness, wish her the very best

Fifty thousand dollar dress
Shaking hands with your highness
See through you like cellophane
You watch the world complain, but you do it anyway
Who am I, am I to say

Bonzo goes to bitburg then goes out for a cup of tea

As I watched it on TV somehow it really bothered me
Drank in all the bars in town for an extended foreign policy
Pick up the pieces

My brain is hanging upside down

I need something to slow me down

If there's one thing that makes me sick

It's when someone tries to hide behind politics
I wish that time could go by fast
Somehow they manage to make it last

My brain is hanging upside down

I need something to slow me down

Somebody Put Something In My Drink

Somebody
Somebody Put Something In My Drink
Somebody

Another night out on the street

Stopping for my usual seat
Oh, bartender, please

(Dacqari) tonic's my favorite drink

I don't like anything colored pink
That just stinks...it's not for me

It feels like somebody put something

Somebody put something in my drink
Somebody put something
Somebody put something
Blurred vision and dirty thoughts
Feel (out of place), very distraught
Feel something coming on

Kick the jukebox, slam the floor

Drink, drink, drink, drink some more
I can't think
Hey! What's in this drink?

It feels like somebody put something

Somebody put something in my drink
Somebody put something
Somebody put something in my drink
Somebody put something
Somebody put something in my drink
Somebody put something...in my drink...in my drink...in my drink...in my drink

So you think it's funny

A college prank
Goin' insane for something to drink
Feel a little dry

Oh, I couldn't care what you think of me

Cause somebody put something in my drink
I can't think
Hey! Give me a drink

It feels like somebody put something

Somebody put something in my drink

Somebody put something

Somebody put something in my drink

Something To Believe In

I wish I was someone else

I'm confused, I'm afraid, I hate the loneliness
And there's nowhere to run to
Nothing makes any sense, but I still try my hardest

Take my hand
Please help me man
'Cause I'm looking for something to believe in
And I don't know where to start
And I don't know where to begin, to begin

If I was stupid or naive

Trying to achieve what they all call contentness
If people weren't such dicks and I never made mistakes
Then I could find forgiveness

Take my hand
Please help me man
'Cause I'm looking for something to believe in
And I don't know where to start
And I don't know where to begin, oh no
I can't be someone else
I don't feel that it's hopeless
I don't feel that I'm useless

I can't throw it all away

I need some courage to find my weakness
And with your love, I know with all my heart I can win

'Cause I'm looking for something to believe in

And I just need something to believe in
I'm looking for something to believe in
And I just need something to believe in

I Don't Want To Live This Life (Anymore)

Now that you're gone, I feel the pain

My heart trembles, I call your name
I miss your touch, your soft blonde hair
I keep searching for an answer...it just ain't there

And I don't want to live this life

Anymore

Everywhere I turn, the finger points to me

You'll never understand, I'm in misery
'Cause baby without you, I have no one
Oh, my sweet darling, what have I done

And I don't want to live this life

Anymore

She smiled at me as I held her carefully

Her last words were "I love you", thought it set me free
And I can't forget that look on her face
It looked like an angel as she died in my prayers

And I don't want to live this life

Anymore

I Wanna Live

I've been thinking it over

And I know just what to do
I've been thinking it over
And I know I just can't trust myself

I'm a Gypsy prince

Covered with diamonds and jewels
But then my lover exposes me
I know I'm just a damn fool

[CHORUS]

I give what I've got to give

I give what I need to live
I give what I've got to give
It's important if I wanna live
I wanna live
I want to live my life
I wanna live
I want to live my life

As I load my pistol
Of fine German steel
I never thought I'd be so down and out
Having my last meal
But I know I can do it
It just took a few years
As I execute my killer
The morning is near

Garden Of Serenity

Come on take my hand

Come on little stranger
The spirits are angry
Stay away from danger
This is insanity
This could be the end
This is insanity
Farewell my friend

[CHORUS]

In the garden of serenity

In the garden of serenity
In the garden of serenity
In the garden of serenity

Meet me in the graveyard

We'll walk among the dead
On a midnight odyssey
Riding in my head

I'm not your enemy

Girl, I am your friend
Come with me on a journey
On a journey to the end

Merry Christmas (I Don't Want To Fight Tonight)

Merry Christmas, I don't want to fight tonight

Merry Christmas, I don't want to fight tonight
Merry Christmas, I don't want to fight tonight with you

Where is Santa? At his sleigh?

Tell me why is it always this way?
Where is Rudolph? Where is Blitzen, baby?
Merry Christmas, merry merry merry Christmas
All the children are tucked in their beds
Sugar-plum fairies dancing in their heads
Snowball fighting, it's so exciting baby

I love you and you love me

And that's the way it's got to be
I loved you from the start
'Cause Christmas ain't the time for breaking each other's hearts

Where is Santa? At his sleigh?

Tell me why is it always this way?
Where is Rudolph? Where is Blitzen, baby?
Merry Christmas, merry merry merry Christmas

All the children are tucked in their beds

Sugar-plum fairies dancing in their heads
Snowball fighting, it's so exciting baby

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I love you and you love me

And that's the way it's got to be
I loved you from the start
'Cause Christmas ain't the time for breaking each other's hearts

Merry Christmas, I don't want to fight tonight

Merry Christmas, I don't want to fight tonight
Merry Christmas, I don't want to fight tonight with you

Pet Sematary

Under the arc of a weather stain boards,

Ancient goblins, and warlords,
Come out of the ground, not making a sound,
The smell of death is all around,
And the night when the cold wind blows,
No one cares, nobody knows.

[CHORUS]
I don't want to be buried in a Pet Sematary,
I don't want to live my life again,
I don't want to be buried in a Pet Sematary,
I don't want to live my life again.

Follow Victor to the sacred place,

This ain't a dream, I can't escape,
Molars and fangs, the clicking of bones,
Spirits moaning among the tombstones,
And the night, when the moon is bright,
Someone cries, something ain't right.

The moon is full, the air is still,

All of a sudden I feel a chill,
Victor is grinning, flesh rotting away,
Skeletons dance, I curse this day,
And the night when the wolves cry out,
Listen close and you can hear me shout.
I Believe In Miracles

I used to be on a endless run

Believe in miracles 'cause i'm one
I've been blessed with the power to survive
And after all these years i'm still alive
I'm outta here kickin' with the band
I'm no longer a solitary man
Every day my time runs out
Lived like a fool that what i was about oh,

I believe in miracles
I believe in a better world, for me and you
oooh, and I believe in miracles
I believe in a better world for me and you

Tatooed your name on my arm

I always said my girl is a good luck charm
If she can find a reason to forgive
Then i can find a reason to live
I used to be on a endless run
Believe in miracles 'cause i'm one
I've been blessed with the power to survive
And after all these years i'm still alive

Ohh I believe in miracles

I believe in a better world for me and you
Ohh I believe in miracles
I believe in a better world for me and you

I close my eyes and it think how

It might be
The future is here today
It's not too late
It's not too late no!

Ohh I believe in miracles

And I believe in a better world for me and you
Ohh I believe in miracles
And I believe in a better world for me and you

Tomorrow She Goes Away

Infatuation, she's a fatal attraction

Hang around, screw up my mind
I hope I've seen her for the very last time

(Dangers of drinking), but I don't want to die

Got to leave this cycle behind
I hope I've seen her for the very last time

And I can't wait 'til tomorrow

I can't wait another day
I can't wait 'til tomorrow
Tomorrow she goes away - ay, hay
Over my shoulder, I keep looking back
I feel a presence following me
So I know I'll never be free

And I can't wait 'til tomorrow

I can't wait another day
I can't wait 'til tomorrow
Tomorrow she goes away - ay, hay

Over my shoulder, I keep looking back

I feel a presence following me
So I know I'll never be free

And I can't wait 'til tomorrow

I can't wait another day
I can't wait 'til tomorrow
Tomorrow she goes away - ay, hay

Poison Heat

No one ever thought this one would survive

Helpless child, gonna walk a drum beat behind
Lock you in a dream, never let you go
Never let you laugh or smile, not you.

Well, I just want to walk right out of this world,

'Cause everybody has a poison heart
I just want to walk right out of this world,
'Cause everybody has a poison heart.

Making friends with a homeless torn up man

He just kind of smiles, it really shakes me up.
There's danger on every corner but I'm okay
Walking down the street trying to forget yesterday.

Well, I just want to walk right out of this world,

'Cause everybody has a poison heart.
I just want to walk right out of this world,
'Cause everybody has a poison heart,
a poison heart, a poison heart, a poison heart ... yeah!

You know that life really takes its toll

And a poet's gut reaction is to search his very soul
So much damn confusion before my eyes,
But nothing seems to phase me and this one still survives.

I just want to walk right out of this world,

'Cause everybody has a poison heart.
I just want to walk right out of this world,
'Cause everybody has a poison heart,
Well, I just want to walk right out of this world,
'Cause everybody has a poison heart.
a poison heart, a poison heart, a poison heart.
a poison heart, a poison heart, a poison heart.
I Don't Wanna Grow Up

When I'm lyin' in my bed at night

I don't wanna grow up
Nothing ever seems to turn out right
I don't wanna grow up
How do you move in a world of fog that's
always changing things
Makes wish that I could be a dog
When I see the price that you pay
I don't wanna grow up
I don't ever want to be that way
I don't wanna grow up
Seems that folks turn into things
that they never want
The only thing to live for is today...
I'm gonna put a hole in my T.V. set
I don't wanna grow up
Open up the medicine chest
I don't wanna grow up
I don't wanna have to shout it out
I don't want my hair to fall out
I don't wanna be filled with doubt
I don't wanna be a good boy scout
I don't wanna have to learn to count
I don't wanna have the biggest amount
I don't wanna grow up
Well when I see my parents fight
I don't wanna grow up
They all go out and drinkin all night
I don't wanna grow up
I'd rather stay here in my room
Nothin' out there but sad and gloom
I don't wanna live in a big old tomb on grand street
When I see the 5 oclock news
I don't wanna grow up
Comb their hair and shine their shoes
I don't wanna grow up
Stay around in my old hometown
I don't wanna put no money down
I don't wanna get a big old loan
Work them fingers to the bone
I don't wanna float on a broom
Fall in love, get married then boom
How the hell did it get here so soon
I don't wanna grow up

She Talks To Rainbows

She's a little lost girl in her own little world

She looks so happy but she seems so sad

She's a little lost girl in her own little world
I'd like to help her I'd like to try

Talks to the rainbows and to the seas

You know she drives me outta my head

She talks to birds ...
