Love and Rockets
****(Jungle Law)Deep down in the city 'neath the concrete trees
Some signifying hack is scratching backs for fleas
Putting on their bad mouths for poor little me
Spreading ugly lies like it's some horrible disease
He said that I said what I never did said
But I said that it's rare that it's over your head
Ask me a question, then print a lie
I cancelled all appointments having vowed that he will die
So I went to find the source of this malitious dirt
Having reread the words and wiped the blood from my shirt
When I found him he was sitting high up in a tree
With one bloody finger on a typewriter key
Sky is gray and the grass unseen
And you're the dumbest **** this city's ever seen
He was laughing, shaking, high up in a tree
But then he lost his balance and he fell down on his knees
So I leapt on that mother my anger to appease
When I grabbed him by the throat, he said "Oh spare me please"
Sure as gullible as my name I let him go back to the trees
And straight away the poisons flowing freely from the keys
The sky is grey and the grass unseen
And he's still the dumbest **** this concrete jungle's ever seen
That mother he was laughing, bathing in the heat
But then he slipped again and landed in the street
Deep down in the city 'neath the concrete trees
Nobody's seen that mother high in the fleas
But there's a new one in the obituaries
And it shows four stars where the name oughta be
No Big DealYou set me up again
You make me lose my friends
I just don't know what I'm gonna do with you
Your feet are still on the ground
So you put me down
I just don't know what I'm gonna do with you
I don't feel...
You're no big deal
No big deal
I got into a fight
Got into it tonight
I just don't know what I'm gonna do with you
You talk much to loud
When you put me down
I just don't know what I'm gonna do with you
I don't feel...
You're no big deal
You know you broke my heart
And that was just the start
I just don't know what I'm gonna do with you
You know you broke my heart
And that was just the start
I know just what I should do for you
I tell you
I don't feel...
You're big deal
No big deal

To need more...
Take a glimpse...
Behind the veil...
Behind the veil...
The purest blue...

Bound for HellWell, faith flies off the mountain everyday
No parachute, and no prayers to say
Yes, my faith flies off a mountain everyday
And there's no parachute, no goddamn prayers to say
Fly the little monkey up a telegraph pole
Sending out a signal to somebody, somebody
Somebody, please somebody
I want to hear a song that makes me believe in something
I want to hear a song that makes me believe something
I want to hear a song that makes me believe
There's something to believe in
I want to hear a song that makes me believe
Had a dream...
I was riding on a train that wasn't bound for glory
Riding on a train, the train was bound for hell
Riding on a train that wasn't bound for glory, that's for sure
Riding on a train that's bound for hell
The engine with human blood was damp
The headlight was her brimstone lamp
And then for fuel I shoveled in bones
and the furnace roared with a thousand groans
The tank was filled with lager beer
The devil himself was engineer
The passengers were a mixed up crew
Churchmen, atheists, Baptists too
The rich in broadcloth, poor in rags
Handsome girls, wrinkled hags
Black men, yellow, red and white
Chained together, fearful sight
The train rushed on at an awful pace
The sulfer fumes burned hands and face
Wilder and wilder the country grew
Faster and faster the engine flew
Loud and terrible thunder crashed
Whiter brighter lightning flashed
Hotter still the air became
So clothes were burned from each shrinking frame
There came a fearfull ear-splitting yell...
Yell Satan: "Can't stop, next stop's hell"
Twas then the passengers shrieked with pain
And begged the devil to stop the train
Stop this train
He shrieked and roared, and grinned with glee
And mocked and laughed at their misery
"My friends you've bought your seats on this road,
I've got to get through with a complete load"
You've bullied the weak, you've cheated the poor
The starving tramp, you turned from the door
You've laid up gold till your purses burst
You've given way to your beastly lust
You've balked at god in your hell blown pride
You've killed and you've cheated, and plundered and lied
You've double crossed men and you've swore and you've stole
Not a one in body and soul (that is virgin?)
Body and soul
So you've paid full fare and I'll carry you through
If there's one don't belong I'd like to know who
And here's the time when I ain't no liar
I'll land you all safe in a land of fire
And your flesh will scorch in the flames that roar
You'll sizzle and burn from rind to core
And I awoke with a shrilly cry
My were clothes were wet, my hair stood high
And I prayed as I've never until that hour
To be saved from hell and the devil's power
At present my vows were not in vain
That I payed no fare on that hellbound train
The Teardrop CollectorI'll wipe these tears from your eyes
I'll wipe these tears, make you feel alright
And you can watch the world go around
So you woke up one morning
Found everything changed
So you woke up one morning
Found you had to rearrange your life
You know you can make it
If you don't love someone why not fake it?
And if you love someone why chain them to you?
You know you'll never make it
So now you finally realize
Sometimes you just gotta let love pass you by
And watch the world go around
And it's alright
So AliveI don't know what colour your eyes are, baby
But your hair is long and brown
Your legs are strong, and you're so, so long
And you don't come from this town
My head is full of magic, baby
And I can share this with you
The feel I'm on a cross again, lately
But it's nothing to do with you
I'm alive
Oh Oh, so alive
I'm alive
Oh Oh, so alive
This drug makes me crazy
Makes me see you more clearly.
Oh, baby, now I can see you.
Wish I could stop,
Switch off the clock,
Make it all happen for you.
I'm alive
Oh Oh, so alive
I'm alive
Oh Oh, so alive
OOOOH
OOOOH
Don't know what colour your eyes are, baby
But your hair is long and brown
Your legs are strong, and you're so, so long
And you don't come from this town
My head is full of magic, baby
And I can share this with you
The feel I'm on top again, baby
That's got everything to do with you
I'm alive
Oh Oh, so alive
I'm alive
Oh Oh, so alive
Rock and Roll BabylonAll those Elvis records
Circling the earth
I think I've said four times over
Were you present at the birth?
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How we wonder what you are
Spin a web of dreams
And die for us on a cross of pills
Your not too dumb to see
A manager of schools of thought,
Parasites who scheme
I'm writing up the holocaust
Of all those broken dreams
Rock and Roll Babylon on the brink
Gives a little slap come on, wink
To beckon the stars down from the sky
Rock and Roll Babylon on the brink
Gives a little slap come on, wink
To beckon the stars down from the sky
Can you hear me Lady Diamond
In your home from home?
When your mommy calls you in
Are you oblivious to the throne?
That the farm's reserved for you,
The effigy's in stone
We loved you Lady Diamond
Though we lost you in the zone
Tightrope walker
Take all our chances for us
Tightrope walker
Take all our chances for us
Oh come on and be a tightrope walker
Take all our chances for us
Tightrope walker
Take all our chances
Who killed Johny Moondog
Was the assassin you and me?
To oversell the antidote,
Or is it down to Jack and Jerry Lee?
If you bite a chunk out of the moon,
Will it help you see?
No Words No MoreEven the laziest devil
Sits on your youth and you cry
He watches your mistakes
Until the day you die
And then someone appears to assist you
This one puts a different doubt in your mind
No words, no words, no words no more
No words, no words, no words no reasons why
No words, no words, no words no more
I need no words, no words, no words no reasons why
Some people like to swim in pools under blue sky
Some people further down the road than you and I
They like the blue light, the light I always find
Some people further down the road than you and I
They say: no words, no words, no words no more
No words, no words, no words no reasons why
No words, no words, no words no more
I need no words, no words, no words no reasons why
