"King Of the Silver Screen"

"King Of the Silver Screen"


By day I'm a workin' man,
layin' bricks or layin' pipe.
I don't stand out in a crowd;
just look like one of the guys.
Little do they know,
when I'm alone in bed at night,
I become the King of the Silver Screen.
I stare at the ceiling there;
I know where I belong.
I two step with Fred Astaire or
fighting old King Kong.
I can be any hero at all;
Zorro or Don Juan.
I know I'm the King of the Silver Screen.
Hollywood movies keep flashin' across my mind.
I could've been Valentino if I was born in another time.
I might be solving a case or swinging from a tree. Share a joke with Crosby and Hope; we're such good friends, you see.
Even dazzle the Academy with my versatility.
'Cause I'm the King of the Silver Screen.
Hollywood movies keep flashin' across my mind.
I could've been Errol Flynn
if I was born in another time.
I could've been a star.
I could've been a star.
I could've played that part.
But Hollywood movies keep flashin' before my eyes.
I could've been Greta Garbo
if I was born in another time.
I wake the very next day
go on back to work.
I'm just a face in a crowd;
another average jerk.
And all the guys on the building site look at me flirt.
Because I'm the Queen of the Silver.
Recitation...
Yes, I'm the Queen of the Silver Screen.
I admit it to all my fellow workers.
I don't care any more. I'm tired of closets.
I'm gonna eat my makeup for lunch today.
Just stop hittin' me again. All right guys?
I'm going to Hollywood to be a starlet.
I know I'm 240 pounds and play center
for the Detroit Lions.
I don't care any more.
I like makeup and dresses and Hollywood.
I'll make somebody a great little wife.
"Frankly, Scarlet, I don't give a damn."

"Lace And Whiskey"

"Lace And Whiskey"


I find myself running in circles
Lost and half insane
And I need a cure sometimes
To knock out the pain
So I yell out for some kind of angel
To come down and rescue me
Be as soft as you can
Put a drink in my hand
I'm as scared as I ever could be
Gimme lace and whiskey
Mamas home remedy
Double indemnity
Fills me with ecstasy
La-aa-aace and whiskey
Lots of things I really want here
Lots of things I really need
There's an animal soul inside
That I've gotta feed
My hot mamas feminine body (??)
Always gets a rise from me
She's so soft in my hands
I give her all she can stand
Make a full fledged man outta me
Gimme lace and whiskey
Mamas home remedy
Double indemnity
Fills me with ecstasy
La-aa-ace and whiskey
La-aa-ace and whiskey
I ain't hard assed
So babe don't make me mean
I want a hot place
To go and show you things
Gimme lace and whiskey
Mamas home remedy
Double indemnity
Fills me with ecstasy
La-aa-ace and whiskey
I'll end up a broken old hobo
With red and yellow eyes
Swear' and drunk and dyin'
But no ones surprised
That's a long long way from today babe
As far as I can see
So shake off your shoes
Go and get me my booze
Lay your love and your laces on me
Gimme lace and whiskey
Mamas home remedy
Double indemnity
Fills me with ecstasy
La-aa-ace and whiskey
La-aa-ace and whiskey
La-aa-ace and whiskey
La-aa-ace and whiskey

"Last Man On Earth"

"Last Man On Earth"


I don't know why my whole world came crashing down
I just woke up in lonely town
I opened up my eyes and much to my surprise
Look at this heaven that I've found

Don't need to care about tomorrow
I got no pain, I got no sorrow

I'm the last man on earth
So tell me what it's worth
Am I a beggar or a king?
Got no trouble, got no time, eternity is mine
I got a whole lot of everything

I can take this town and just burn it to the ground
Smash every window that I see
I can smoke, I can drink, I can swear and I can stink
There ain't no one to bother me, no no

Don't need to care about tomorrow
I got no pain, I got no sorrow

I'm the last man on earth
So tell me what it's worth
Am I a beggar or a king?
Got no trouble, got no time, eternity is mine
I got a whole lot of everything
It's all mine...

There's not a single soul to talk to me
But that's okay I never liked them

I'm the last man on earth
And I know what it's worth
I'm not a beggar I'm a king!
Got no troubles, got no time, and everything is fine
Coz I'm the king of everything
It's all mine...
Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine

"Laughing At Me"

"Laughing At Me"


If it's laughing you need then it's laughing indeed
And it's laughing at me yes it's laughing at me
So I started to end the beginning to end
Then I ended the end yes I ended the end
And it's laughing it's laughing at me

"Lay Down And Die, Goodbye"

"Lay Down And Die, Goodbye"


You are the only censor if you don't like what I say you have a choice you can turn me off
If you don't like what I say you have a choice you can turn me off
Well I've written home to mother the ink ran from my tear
I said momma momma please tell me why you brought me here

"Leather Boots"

"Leather Boots"


Leather boots poundin' the floor
Black and shiny kickin' the door
The police, hit the streets
They would never take the boots off of their feet

If I break the law and get caught
I could get smashed in the face
By the big boys
'Cause they're frightened by the real world
Frightened by the real world
Scared of the real world. Oh yeah.

I saw a cop, he looked pretty shot
By some criminals, left there to rot
I took a look, no one around
I put on his boots and stomped on the ground

Stood tall and felt so strong
I wanted to be just like them
So I could hurt somebody
Hurt somebody

Hurt somebody, hurt somebody
Scared of the real world. Oh yeah.
Scared of the real world. Oh yeah.

Don't litter or score in the dark
Don't kill your lover and don't overpark
Cause if you murder or if you loot
Get the heel of my new leather boots

If I break the law and get caught
You could get smashed in the face
By this young boy
Who is frightened by the real world
This boy is frightened by the real world
I gonna hurt somebody
'Cause I'm frightened of the real world. Oh yeah.

"Levity Ball"

"Levity Ball"


I got my invitation to the annual levity ball
Seeing the location is within the mirrored room
Walking in my room I found I had nothing to find
I got into my evening wear and left my clothes behind
I sat down on the stairway seven hours at a time
Writing all of this poetry that I knewq would never rhyme
The memory I knew I must have had when I came in
Was of some varied places where I've never ever been
And then in came a cake all decorated in my name
With four paper brown candles are all spelling out this name
The clock was passing out from time to time I saw it all
The beginning of the ending of my first levity ball

"Life And Death Of The Party"

"Life And Death Of The Party"


You walk into the room, everybody stares
The talking stops, there's a silence there
The room is yours, you own it now
You're in control and everybody down here knows
You got a place in my heart, I don't want you there
But you come and you go, like a millionaire
You take a walk right across my soul
You're in control and everybody down here knows
You're the life and the death of the party
You got my heart right by the throat
You're the life and the death of the party
When the stage lights rise
You start and stop the show
You love me bad, you love me good
You're unimpressed, that's understood
I lost it all, you knew I would
You're in control and everybody down here knows
You're the life and the death of the party
You got my heart right by the throat
You're the life and the death of the party
When the stage lights rise
You start and stop the show
It's just one night
It's just one time
It's just one hotel room
It's just another dream
That can't come true
You're the life and the death of the party
You got my heart right by the throat
You're the life and the death of the party
When the stage lights rise
You start and stop the show

"Little by Little"

"Little by Little"


[Alice Cooper/Jack Ponti/Vic Pepe/Bob Pfeifer]

Black leather gloves and your lipstick shines
Bright as moonlight glows
My wildest rose cuts so fine and deep
It hurts but never shows
You're bad, you're so hardcore
Pull me down here on the killing floor

[CHORUS]
Little by little we cross the line
Little by little the ties that bind
Little by little by little by little
Little by little tonight

Your sugar tongue speaks hot and sweet
Lying just for fun
Push and shove
Sex is sex
But honey, love is love
We're not sick insane
Just another lovers' game

[CHORUS]

I'm all undone
My pretty one
Don't slap my face
Unless you kiss me

[CHORUS]

You beg and you cry for more
You pull me down here on the killing floor

[CHORUS]

"Living"

"Living"


Living is only one part of being
Believing is to know just what you're feeling
You weren't supposed to think you know you heard
I'm sure that you're knowing you're growing and it's you
Thinking is your own world of living
Dreaming is the one way to feeling
Your wind and your eye can see everything that you
The only real person you need to know is you
Aah aah aah aah ooh living living living
