Too Many Freaks
03:49
|
|||
Well I was taking a rest just the the other day, I’d been working hard
When some smelly drunk with a brown paper bag tried to chisel his way to my heart
Nothing to spare and even if I did I wouldn’t give a red cent to you..
Too many freaks and I’m broke on civility
What am I gonna do
Too many freaks.
Well I was taking a break just down the street, I was eating my meat and cheese
When some worn-out trick with a seven inch stick, she tried to give me her love disease
I never cared for a half and half, I don’t even drink caffeine..
Too many freaks and they got no decency
You know its a bit obscene
Too many freaks.
Too many freaks in the morning paper
Too many freaks on the evening news
Too many freaks trying to raid my lunchbox
Too many freaks trying to steal my shoes
Tired of searching for a pretty face, the kind of freak that I can get behind
Too many freaks that I ain’t got the time for
Just about to lose my mind
Too many freaks.

Live For The Music
04:09
|

Given up on the nine to five, I got a rock n roll master plan
Never felt so ready with the band rock steady and the magic flowing from my hands
Been a long time since I’ve been on top, but now I know the feelings here to stay
Feel alive when we play it loud, I need a little every day
Live for the Music
Take a look in the mirror when your back of the show, and say
I feel alright
Took a chance on the music babe, you know there's nothing that I'd rather do
You sure are sweet, but you’ll never compete, don’t have to tell you what I’d choose
Now its five to five with the rock n roll jive, I'm livin' like a music man
It's easy to do, when the feelings true, you know you gotta take a stand
Live for the Music
Take a look in the mirror when your back of the show and say yeah,
I feel alright
Gotta get down like there’s no one around, let the music set your soul on fire
Step inside and get a ticket to ride, nothings gonna take you higher
You wanna lick it till your dizzy, well you better get busy, take the battle to the world's door
Play to win and when your staring down sin, remember what your fighting for
Live for the music
Take a look in the mirror when your back of the show, yeah
I feel alright

Hard to Say Goodbye
04:56
|
|||
I got a feelin’ right now
Like my life has just begun
All the little pieces are coming together baby
Sometimes you’ve got to lose before you’ve won
I know its hard to say goodbye
But sometimes you know you gotta love and let die
I wanna tell you baby
I’ll never forget it
You’ll always have a place in my heart
But now we’ve got to find out the hard way
If this was only the start
The future is open
I’m looking for a place to belong
A reason for living
Maybe it was you all along
I know the loneliness that you feel
When all your fears they rage in the night
Oh but I've seen the fire in you
And I know you’ve got what it takes to see the light
I know its hard to say goodbye
But sometimes you know you gotta love and let die
I wanna tell you baby
I’ll never regret it
You gave me hope for living again
But now we’ve got to find out the hard way
If this is really the end
The future is open
I’m looking for a place to belong
A reason for living
Even if its only a song
I know its so hard to say goodbye
But sometimes you know you gotta love and let die

Downtown Shakedown
06:55
|
|||
Have you heard the news? Everybody’s getting busted
The cops are on the take, they can't be trusted
Their sittin’ down on the corner, with their cruiser lights flashing
I hope your light on your feet, Cause blue's in fashion
When you hear that siren sound
You know you got a Downtown Shakedown
Have you heard the news? Everybody’s got a secret
And for the right price, nobody keeps it
There are a million different ways, to lean on a suspect
To get the information, the laws no object
When you hear that siren sound
You know you got a downtown shakedown
The Streets are on fire, read it in the headlines
Feel the noise and the heat, straight down the mainline
The badges are out, and pushing for a showdown
Taking all they can, full force lockdown
That’s why you won't see me hangin’ around
Waiting for a Downtown Shakedown
Ah give it to me again!
That’s why you won't see me hangin’ around
Waiting for a Downtown Shakedown

You know I’ve been a soldier
Fighting for a glance
A simple twist of fortune
In an endless game of chance
And it's a lonesome game to play
But you know I’ll never stray
Till I find you
I’ve had so many lovers
Who only brought me pain
Not so long ago I thought
I’d never love again
But now I feel it in my soul
Been around enough to know
That its magic
This could be the one
That I've been looking for
Not just anyone
This could be love
Now the times are changing
I see it all around
No time to catch my breath
Or get my feet back on the ground
And then she moves across the room
Nothing I can do
I’m falling
Nothing I can do
I've gotta see it through
And I’ve been waiting such a long time
Now I know I’ll never be alone
You give me something to believe in
I’ve been around enough to know
Your the one
Oh your the one
Ah here we go
I've been around baby!
Here she comes...
I’ve been around enough to know
I’ve been around enough to know
I’ve been around enough to know
I’ve been around enough to know
Oh come on!

Dealers Choice
02:45
|
|||
If you wanna get off well its the place to be
Down here in this hole, where nothing is free
And all the freaks and the fienders are paying the fee
A poor mans lust, a rich mans greed
Step in and kiss your money goodbye
And get high
The girl in the corner, she’s just eighteen
A mistress for hire, a teenage queen
You can mess with her fast, or play with her slow
The higher the price, the further she’ll go
Especially when your down in between
You know what I mean?
Excuse me while I whip this out...
You give us a dollar, we’ll give you a dime
But make no mistake, we have a good time
So bring your friends and your family, and Peter and Paul
And join in the party, we’re having a ball
The dealer gets the choice of them all
That’s alright
That's alright baby...

Alight baby
Gonna tell you a story
Everybody put your hands together
You've got to move when you feel the music
You've gotta love when the feelings right
And all the time that you been misusing
You should be shining till the morning light
It’s up to you
You only get one life
You only get one life
You only get one life
Let’s have a party tonight

I know sometimes it can seem so tragic
With all the dues that you have to pay
But there will always be a little magic
Listen and we'll show you the way.
You know that its true
It’s up to you
You only get one life (you only got one life) backing vocals. x3
You only get one life
You only get one life

Everybody get together now!
You only get one life
You only get one life
You only get one life
Let’s have a party tonight
Come on Kurtis bring it home
You got it.

Dead Man Walking
04:21
|

Dead man walking, price on his head get a rich man high
You've been talking, selling secrets to the other side
But your luck is running out, wheel of fortune gonna pass you by
That ain't no lie
You’ve been layin’ low, took too much and the gang got wise
But they caught you on Broadway, dime-store wig and a brim disguise
Now your gonna feel the heat, catch a 44 right between the eyes
That's no surprise
Solo
Dead man walking, singing for them now you’ll sing for me
And if you know what's good for you, you wont look down on my charity
And if you ever mess me round, tell you exactly where your gonna be
Dead man walking.

Devil's Child
06:19
|
|||
Your evil, or so it seems
Your visions, they haunt my dreams
The fire, is burning red
I cant get you, out of my head
For lonely days, and endless nights
I play to win, but lose the fight
To feel the heat, from down below
I’d stone my pride, and sell my soul
Your the devils child
Witchcraft, black magic mage
Helpless, even from the stage
Black cat moan, and ravens claw
Too blind, to find the final straw
You cast your spell without a sound
And hold me deep, down underground
Where the light of love is far away
And misery is here to stay
Your the devils child
Let me tell you all about it...
Secrets, are all you keep
You know just how, to make me weep
For too long, you’ve told me lies
Now it's high time, I said goodbye
But like a fool, I played your game
Now ill never be the same
You said you would guide me to heavens door
But you’re daddy he don’t fly no more!
Your the devils child
You know who you are!
