"Showtime"

"Showtime"



Showtime...
Showtime...

People tell me I'm not getting younger in this place
The other guy in this room I'm sick of his face
And there's a guy who's watching me, it really is a drag
Hassling me on my way to work making license tags

But you ain't seen the last of me yet
I'll find you baby, on that you can bet
I didn't mind the risk of a life of crime
When I get out of here...
Showtime...
Showtime...

Eight long years to do, I've just finished two
These walls are a little bit tight
I'd rather be with you
Good behavior and I'll be out on parole
Or maybe I'll bust outta here, I'm losing self control

But you ain't seen the last of me yet
I'll find you baby, on that you can bet
I didn't mind the risk of a life of crime
When I get out of here...

Well i was young and in love, i pulled the perfect crime
You blew the whistle on me baby, and now I'm doing time
I guess you never loved me, you used me like a tool
And that guy out there with you, must think that I'm a fool

But you ain't seen the last of me yet
I'll find you baby, on that you can bet
I didn't mind the risk of a life of crime
When I get out of here
Showtime
Showtime
Showtime
Showtime

"Sinful Love"

"Sinful Love"



You're over my shoulder, I think I'm possessed
Your constant undertone, is making me toothless
Times come to trim you out of my life
Gonna cut you out, baby, out of my life

Dare-devil, she-devil, printer's-devil, evil
I love you like sin, but I won't be your pigeon

The power that I give you, I'm so sick of your voice
In my body, You don't give me no choice
But to boot you, honey, to give you the shove
So take back your despot, I'll keep you love

Dare-devil, she-devil, printer's-devil, evil
I love you like sin, but I won't be your pigeon

I'm searching by symbols, looking for a pistol
To laser you out, it looks like a keyhole
I'll just stick my key back, seamless and whole
No more idols, got my own self control

Dare-devil, she-devil, printer's-devil, evil
I love you like sin, but I won't be your pigeon

"Sole Survivor"

"Sole Survivor"



There walked a lonely man,
silent, mute, the only man
not knowing how, not knowing why
was he the sole survivor

why should he be alive,
breathing still while others died
and the only question
why was he the sole survivor

Sole survivor, cursed with second sight
Haunted saviour, cried into the night
Sole survivor, cursed with second sight
Haunted saviour, cried into the night

Wind blew across the sand
He stood alone and he had no plan
And with the last rays of the sun
He screamed aloud, began to run

In his tears he sees his face
I am the end of the human race
When I'm gone there'll be no trace
For I'm the sole survivor

Sole survivor, cursed with second sight
Haunted saviour, cried into the night
Sole survivor, cursed with second sight
Haunted saviour, cried into the night

One night when years had passed
The skies shook from a fiery blast
And there a starship - safe at last!
To come rescue this survivor

They beckoned him inside
but only man, he would not ride
instead he found a place to hide
for he's the sole survivor

Sole survivor, cursed with second sight
Haunted saviour, cried into the night
Sole survivor, cursed with second sight
Haunted saviour, cried into the night

"Spy In The House Of The Night"

"Spy In The House Of The Night"


I, I have no church or philosophy.
I've never known or told a joke in sin.
I smoke in bed. I smoke instead.
I know the in's and out's of smoke.

And where there's smoke, there's fire, the flip side of desire.
And if it's true, it can't be you, it might as well be me.
A spy in the house of the fire; a fire in the house of the night.
A white-hot dark-black rendezvous.
I'll see you there tonight!
I'll see you there tonight!

I've never been to Spain nor to Germany.
I'll never know my way around the city of Gorky.
I've made love in halls. I fell in love in malls.
I'd love to love you in the dark.

And when it's dark, it's night, the flip side of delight.
So, if, in fact, it can't be wrong, well, then, it must be right.
A spy in the house of the fire; a fire in the house of the night.
A white-hot dark-black rendezvous.
I'll see you there tonight!
I'll see you there tonight!

[Instrumental]

A white-hot dark-black rendezvous.
I'll see you there tonight!
I'll see you there tonight!
I'll see you there tonight!

"Stairway To The Stars"

"Stairway To The Stars"



You can have my autograph
I think I'll sign it love to you
But should I sign it just for you

Stairway to the stars, I think I'll write good health to you
Stairway to the stars, we got better things to do

You can drive my motorcar
It's insured to thirty thou
Kill them all if you wish

Stairway to the stars, I think I'll write good health to you
Stairway to the stars, we got better things to do

You can have my autograph
I think I'll sign it good health to you
Upon the cast, your broken arm

Stairway to the stars, I think I'll write good health to you
Stairway to the stars, I hope you heal up real quick
Stairway to the stars...

Come on, let's get on outta here.

"Still Burning"

"Still Burning"



Maraschino
Cherry lipstick
Drop dead gorgeous
To her fingertips

Ohh ohh ohh ohh

Hold me tighter
In your arms
Let's set off the
Smoke alarm
And I'm still burnin'
Burnin' for your love

And I'm still burnin'
Burnin' for your love

I'm still burnin'
Burnin' for your love
I'm still burnin' ohh ohh ohh ohh
Burnin' for your love
I'm still burnin'
Burnin' for your love
I'm still burnin'

Take me to the
Edge of madness
Let me feel your
Secret passion

Ohh ohh ohh ohh

Freud have mercy
On my soul
I can't fight this
Anymore
And I'm still burnin'
Burnin' for your love

And I'm still burnin'
Burnin' for your love

I'm still burnin'
Burnin' for your love
I'm still burnin' ohh ohh ohh ohh
I'm burnin' for your love
I'm still burnin'
I'm burnin' for your love
I'm still burnin' ohh ohh ohh ohh
Burnin' for your love
I'm still burnin'
Burnin' for your love
I'm still burnin'

I'm still burnin'
Burnin' for your love
I'm still burnin' ohh ohh ohh ohh
Burnin' for your love
I'm still burnin'
I'm burnin' for your love
I'm still burnin' ohh ohh ohh ohh
Burnin' for your love
I'm still burnin'
I'm burnin' for your love
I'm still burnin'

"Stone Of Love"

"Stone Of Love"



There is a box that I have shown
And in the box the games of god
There is a fox that I have known
And in its heart the blood is hard
Its heart is but a stone

There is a chain that I have worn
And on the chain a thorn is hung
There is a pain forever borne
That sings a song forever sung
The song is but a stone
Stone of love
Stone of love
Stone of love
Stone of love

There is a ledge beside a dome
And on the ledge adventures dance
There is an edge that is your home
And on the edge breathes true romance

There is a voice without a sound
Whose wisdom speaks in foolish rhyme
There is a choice that I have found
Between the fear and safer time
The choice is but a stone
Stone of love
Stone of love
Stone of love
Stone of love

"Subhuman"

"Subhuman"



I am becalmed, lost to nothing
Warm weather and a holocaust

Left to die by two good friends
Abandoned me and put to sleep
Left to die by two good friends
Tears of god flow as I bleed

So ladies fish and gentlemen
Here's my angled dream
See me in my blue sky bag
And meet me by the sea

Oyster boys are swimming for me now
Save me from the death like creature

Oyster boys are swimming now
Hear them chatter on the tide
We understand, we understand
But fear is read and so do I

So ladies fish and gentlemen
Here's my angled dream
See me in my blue sky bag
And meet me by the sea

Oyster boys are swimming for me
Just one deal is what we made now

Forest keys and whirlwind cold
Green keys too and keys of gold
And even locks that don't explode
When the skies become a scroll

So ladies fish and gentlemen
Here's my angled dream
See me in my blue sky bag
And meet me by the sea

"Take Me Away"

"Take Me Away"


Strange shapes light up the night
I've never seen 'em though I hope I might
Don't ask if they are real
The men in black, their lips are sealed

Fantasy fills my mind
To leave this place before my time
Release myself from earthly care
My dream may be your nightmare

[Chorus:]
I turn my hopes up to the sky
I'd like to know before I die
Memories will slowly fade
I lift my eyes and say
Come on take me away
Come on take me away

Come here girl close to me
A thousand stars your eyes can see
First one we see tonight
I wish I may I wish I might

[Chorus:]

[Jam]

[Chorus:]

I lift my eyes and say
Come on take me away

"Tattoo Vampire"

"Tattoo Vampire"



I went down last night with a tattoo madam
To a nude dagger fantasy domain
Wrapped in hell, I lost my breath
Chest to stimulating chinese breast

Grisly smiles, that don't flake off
Corny-colored demons leering
Vampire photos, sucking the skin

Seeding the night at the inker's parlor
Flash permabrand pricked for a dollar
Her wrist surreal a heart and flying skull
Lettered "Life and love pass swiftly"

Grisly smiles, that don't flake off
Corny-colored demons leering
Vampire photos, sucking the skin
