Knocking at your back door
Sweet Lucy was a dancer
But none of us would chance her
Because she was a samurai
She made electric shadows
Beyond our fingertips
And none of us could reach that high
She came on like a teaser
I had to touch and please her
Enjoy a little paradise
The log was in my pocket
When Lucy met the rockett
She never knew the reason why
I can't deny it with that smile on her face
Oh it's not the kill, it's the thrill of the chase
Feel it coming, it's knocking at the door
You know it's no good running, it's not against the law
The point of no return an' now you know the score
An' now you're learning aha what's knockin' at your back door
Sweet Nancy was so fancy
To get into her pantry
We had to be the aristocracy
The members that she toyed with
At her city club
Were something in diplomacy
So we put her on the hit list
Of a common cunning linguist
A master of many tongues
And now she eases gently
From her Austin to her Bentley
Suddenly she feels so young
I can't deny it with that smile on her face
Oh it's not the kill, it's the thrill of the chase
Feel it coming, it's knocking at the door
You know it's no good running no it's not against the law
The point of no return, now you know the score
An' now you're learning aha what's knockin' at your back door
Sweet Lucy was a dancer
But none of us would chance her
Because she was a samurai
She made electric shadows
Beyond our fingertips
And one of us could reach that high
I can't deny it with that smile on my face
Oh it's not the kill, it's the thrill of the chase
Feel it coming, knocking at the door
You know it's no good running
Now it's knockin' at your door
Aaha knockin' at your back door
Under the gun
Infidel, can you hear? Would be strange delight
I need you to give your sympathy tonight
When you hear what I say, deeds I've done
Realise I've never lost and never won
I've got a feeling that it's never right
There was a reason but it's out of sight ah
It's going down somewhere tonight
Under the gun
Put death in my hand, learn to fight
Who could care if it's wrong or if it's right?
We got no choice under command
We're ordered to die or take this land
Stupid bastards and religious freaks
So safe in their castle keeps
They turn away as a mother weeps
Under the gun
When brave men fall under crimson skies
There's a sadness reflected in a soldier's eyes
Tears will dry for those I kill
Remember no more their names but someone will
The only way to be victorious
Screw the fools who think it's glorious
Who gives a toss about the likes of us
Under the gun
Nobody's home
Nothing I can do, maybe I won't even try
Ah your will is determined to kill any reason of mine
I see you comin' with that look in your eye
You act like a king but you ain't got a thing in your mind
Now there's nobody home
My belly is aching
Your image is blown
Your lights are burning bright
But nobody's home
You talk about love and affection, if only you could
You're full of pride but there's nothing inside
And you think you're so good
You know you got it coming to ya, all things return
You need me, it's not gonna be my concern
Now there's nobody home
Your message is changing
The children have grown
Your lights are burning bright
But nobody's home
I said that nobody's home
My belly is aching
Your image is blown
Your lights are burning bright
But nobody's home
I hear you crying, what can I say?
You get what you give so forgive me as I turn away
Now there's nobody's home
My belly is aching
Your image is blown
Your lights are burning bright
But nobody's home
I said that nobody's home
A legend is dying
The seeds have been sown
Your lights are burning bright
But nobody's home
Mean streak
She came home last night rotten rolling drunk
She talk no sense but she sound good so she think
So I reached over and said "Hello!"
"Is there some planet you'd care to go?"
And she said "Venus on the rocks"
I say she got a mean streak
Black mamba don't compete
She got a mean streak
Temptation, bitter sweet
She drives me crazy, gets inside my brain
She spend my money down a drain auh
So I roll over for my reward "How much can I afford?"
And she says "Just a little more"
You know she got a mean streak
Black mamba don't compete
She got a mean streak
Temptation, bitter sweet
She got a mean streak
Black mamba don't compete
She got a mean streak
Temptation, bitter sweet
I can't take this no more
I tried so hard but I can't get through the door
Because one smile from those eyes
And I stand there paralyzed
And she says "You'd better beg for more"
"Get down sucka! You know what I like"
Ooh hang on...
Black mamba don't compete
She got a mean streak
Temptation, bitter sweet
She got a mean streak
Black mamba don't compete
She got a mean streak
Temptation, bitter sweet...
Perfect strangers
Can you remember... remember my name?
As I flow through your life
A thousand oceans I have flown ooh
And cold... cold spirits of ice ah ah
All my life
I am the echo of your past
I am returning the echo of a point in time
And distant faces shine
A thousand warriors I have known ooh
And laughing as the spirits appear
All your life
Shadows of another day
If you hear me talking on the wind
You've got to understand
We must remain perfect strangers
Auh I know I must remain
Inside this silent well of sorrow
A strand of silver hanging through the sky
Touching more than you see
The voice of ages in your mind ooh
Is aching with the dead of the night
Oouh precious life
Your tears are lost in falling rain
And if you hear me talking on the wind
You've got to understand
We must remain perfect strangers...
A gypsy's kiss
John San what you can
La la Janette dance in sand
What's the mystery, my son?
Gypsy Dan Caravan
Won Tun Wan with your chinese fan
Ha ha ha history, my son
Murder and rape with your power
Tenth revolution in far away days
It's come to this, a gypsy's kiss
All your power's gonna fade in the haze
Ya who' jumme gae bile ya heed
Senorita said
I'll drag yer lungs out through yer nose
Space truckers free and high
Teamsters get ya by and by
That should keep you on your toes
They got a gun at your head
But you ain't necessarily playing their game
They can't resist a gypsy's kiss
All that's needed to drive them insane
John Wayne the Alamo
Crazy Horse Geronimo
I'll smoke a piece with you
Mind body heart and soul
We got rock and roll
And there's nothing they can do
Hear the small voice of truth
Above the shouting despair of the crowd
What do you wish? A gypsy's kiss
Gets you strong for crying out loud
Wasted sunsets
The day is gone when the angels come to stay
And all the silent whispers will be blown away
An' lying in the corner, a pair of high heel shoes
Hanging on the wall, gold and silver for the blues
One too many wasted sunsets
One too many for the road
And after dark the door is always open
Hoping someone else will show
Someone is waiting behind an unlocked door
Grey circles overhead, empties on the floor
The cracks in the walls have grown too long
The slow hand is dragging on afraid to meet the dawn
One too many wasted sunsets
One too many for the road oh
And after dark the door is always opened
Hoping someone else will show...
Hungry daze
In a dark and sweaty room in '69, tables turning
Dancing girls, silly girls, all kinds of girls and it was loud
Tuning up to madness in the back room, candles burning
Present the stinking hippy an' throw the naked thunder to the crowd
Ooh in the hungry daze
The long and lonely highway drags along, it's going nowhere
Sickness and disease and mad corruption, something's going wrong
The mountain's getting cold and lonely, the trees are bare
We all came out to montreux but that's another song
You've heard it all before in hungry daze
Back in the hu-hungry daze
Back in hungry daze
Back in hungry daze aah
Along the mountain road to do some drinking an' now we're mobile again
Different girls, laughing girls, forever girls and it's so loud
The crew have lost again ah they're beaten men
The winning team united, living for the crowd
These are the hungry daze... these are... these are the hungry daze
Hungry daze, hungry daze...
