Mean Man

A tattooed madman, I am hell on wheels
Born a wicked child left alone in the fields
My father was the wind, my mother was fire
Raised by the wolves and I grew up wild
A kamikaze man, a hollering 'Banzai'
Never crash and burn, never gonna die
Cannibal it's me, you squeal and shout
I chew you up and spit you out

Storms a c-c-coming and it's gonna be me
Here comes Trouble with a capital "T"

'Cause I'm a mean mother fucking man,
I gotta scream, that's what I am
All the way, all the way
'Cause I'm a mean mother fucking man,
Riding the wind and know I'll be damned
All they way, all the way, all the way

Chewbacca in the rye, the water of fire
A terror in the flesh, a killer for hire
California man I'm white line, "Homer"
The unruly one they call the "Blond Bomber"
Scooter gypsy, I'm a renegade
An orphan of the road, a live hand grenade
Never gonna quit before my time
When the moon gets high then I'll be blind
Mad dog 20-20's king
I drink that stuff and start getting obscene

'Cause I'm a mean mother fucking man,
I gotta scream, that's what I am
All the way, all the way
'Cause I'm a mean mother fucking man,
Riding the wind and know I'll be damned

I'm a motorcycle man
Don't never give a damn
I lie when the truth serves better
The Marquis de Sade, I cheat and steal and rob
A heavy metal creature
All the way, all the way, all the way

'Cause I'm a mean mother fucking man,
I gotta scream, that's what I am
All the way, all the way
'Cause I'm a mean mother fucking man,
Riding the wind and know I'll be damned
All they way, all the way, all the way

Forever Free

I ride all alone and can't see
The road to nowhere anymore
And shadows whispers are calling me
To forbidden forests by the shore
And there she fell, deep in the night
One breath away from heaven's light
And she said - don't cry for me, I'm leaving you

The wind cries her name in the breeze
But I can't hold her anymore
Some fallen angel had come to me
And fell to heavy on my soul
And stole from me the love that I heard
Lords of time say never die
And said - don't cry for me, cause I'll be

Riding the wind forever free
High in the wind forever free
I'll ride the wind forever free
High in the wind forever free
Forever free

Forever in my hearts a fire, a fire burning
I wake up nights and hear her crying, crying my name

Riding the wind forever free
High in the wind forever free
I ride the wind forever free
High in the wind forever free
Forever free

Chainsaw Charlie

[Charlie to Jonathon:]
O.K. boy now here's your deal
Will you gamble your life?
Sign right here on the dotted line
It's the one you've waited for all of your life

[Jonathon to Charlie:]
Ah - will it feed my hunger
If I swallow lies right down my throat?
Or will it choke me till I'm raw?
And tomorrow when I'm gone
Will they whore my image on?
I'll will my throne away, to a virgin heir and Charlie's slave

[Jonathon:]
Murders, murders in the new morgue
Murders, murders in the new morgue
See old Charlie and the platinum armys
Making me their boy
Murders, murders in the new morgue
Murders, murders in the new morgue
He'll make ya scream for the cash machine
Down in Chainsaw Charlie's morgue

[Charlie to Jonathon:]
We'll sell your flesh by the pound you'll go
A whore of wrath just like me
We'll sell ya wholesale, we'll sell your soul
Strap on your six string and feed our machine

[Jonathon to Charlie:]
Ah - will it feed my hunger
If I swallow lies right down my throat?
Or will it choke me till I'm raw?
And tomorrow when I'm gone
Will they whore my image on?
I'll will my throne away, to a virgin heir and Charlie's slave

[Charlie to Jonathon:]
Welcome to the morgue boy
Where the music comes to die
Welcome to the morgue son
I'll cut your throat just to stay alive
Ah, trust me boy
I won't steer you wrong
If you trust me son
You won't last very long

[Charlie to Jonathon:]
I'm the president of showbiz, my name is Charlie
I'm a cock sucking asshole, that's what they call me
Here from my Hollywood tower I rule
I'm lying motherfucker, the chainsaw's my tool
The new morgue's our factory, to grease our lies
Our machine is hungry, it needs your life
Don't mind the faggots, and the ruthless scum
Before we're done, son we'll make you one
I'm the tin man, I've never had a heart
I'm the tin man, But I'll make you a star
I'm the tin man, I've never had a heart
I'm the tin man, but I'll make me the star

The Idol

Will I be alone this morning
Will I need my friends
Something just to ease away the pain
And now I never see the loneliness
Behind my face
I am just a prisoner to my faith

If I could only stand and stare in the mirror would I see
One fallen hero with a face like me
And if I scream, could anybody hear me
If I smash the silence, you'll see what fame has done to me

Kiss away the pain and leave me lonely
I'll never know if love's a lie
Ooh - being crazy in paradise is easy
Can you see the prisoners in my eyes
Where is the love to shelter me
Give me love, love set me free
Where is the love, to shelter me
Only love, love set me free
Set me free

Sunset And Babylon

Just a little bit west of old Pasadena
Is the place I go, I call it home for me
Call it what you will, Tinseltown for real
It's the open edge where the debutantes run free

Hollywood, California, Rocktown USA
Cruising down the stirp is where I'll be
At the Rainbow bar and grill
I'll drink till I get my fill
The home of the movie stars is where you'll find me

Gimme gimme home on Sunset
Desolation Boulevard I ride
Gimme gimme home on Sunset
It's paradise on the fault line tonight

Everybody's lost in the land of Disney
Ecstasy and Sister Misery
Save your soul boy, but not to the stars
Ha ha ha

It's the land of the twenty four hour party
And my fist firmly wrapped around a fifth of Bacardi
On the Sunset Strip's where the orphans play tonight

So if you wanna get really rude
Just come on down and we'll get crude
Cause there ain't no place like here
Baby I mean nowhere
Cause in here's the land of sun and sin
All the freaks here gonna let you in
The shooting stars and the poseurs are gonna be there

Gimme gimme home on Sunset
Desolation Boulevard I ride
Gimme gimme home on Sunset
It's paradise on the fault line tonight

Hold On To My Heart

There's a flame, flame in my heart
And there's no rain, can put it out
And there's a flame, it's burning in my heart
And there's no rain, ooh can put it out
So just hold me, hold me, hold me

Take away the pain, inside my soul
And I'm afraid, so all alone
Take away the pain, that's burning in my soul
Cause I'm afraid that I'll be all alone
So just hold me, hold me, hold me

Hold on to my heart, to my heart, to me
Hold on to my heart, to my heart, to me
And oh no, don't let me go cause all I am
You hold in your hands, and hold me
And I'll make it through the night
And I'll be alright, hold on, hold on to my heart

 

[Chili Peppers]

Rock And Roll To Death

Thunder pounding my brains in
A six string rock and roll razor
Nobody's gonna save me
The whole world drives me crazy
I hate work, I hate school
I got a case of the rock's dead blues

Friday night I'll be raging
Midnight gonna be wasted
Friday I'm raising
Hell, I'm gonna be wasted
Time to party, raise a glass
Tell everybody to kiss my ass

Let me go- dead or rock, dead or rock
Dead or rock, dead or rock
If rock and roll dies
I'll take my last breath
Rock and roll to death

Dead or rock, dead or rock, dead or rock
Pass the bullets please, dead or rock
Find me a grave, help me dig it
If rock's dead then bury me with it

Dead or rock, dead or rock, dead or rock
Pass the bullets please, dead or rock
To death do us part to my last breath
Gimme rock or gimme death

 

[Chili Peppers]

Still Not Black Enough

Paint a shadow on my heart
In shades of ebony
Paint the sun out of the sky
That rains over me

Black sun, rain on me
I need one, black sun
Rain on me, rain on me

Tie me to my blackness there
Where I'm ever free
Taken to the dark edges of
My wicked memories

Paint my soul in indigo, and ebony for me
No colour seen in my eyes, none in my eyes
I'm naked in my misery
Emotions stripped to bone
I see inside the heart of me
It's still not black enough for me

No colour in the heart of me
No colour run in my veins
I hold the black to my breast
It bleeds over me
I can't go on till I get off
For me it's still not black enough
With darkness gone, my fear is seen
My fear is real, my fear is me

 

[Chili Peppers]

Somebody To Love

[Originally performed by Jefferson Airplane]

When the truth is found to be lies
You know the joy within you dies

Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You Better find someone to love

Find somebody to love
Find somebody to love
Find somebody to love

When the dawn is rose, they are dead
Yes and you're mine, you're so full of red

Your eyes, I say you eyes may look like his
Yeah, but in your head, baby I'm afraid you don't know where it is

Tears are running
Running along down your breast
And your friends baby
They treat you like a guest

 

[Chili Peppers]

Black Forever

There's red in my head but I don't want it
The blues were swarming there in my soul
Shadows over me and
The only colour I can paint my soul

I want black and don't fade away
I want it black forever
Inside of me, all I wanna see's
The colours in my head
I'm in black the only way
And make it black forever
Go inside and go inside and
Never come back out again

Don't colourize me
Cause I don't want it
The ravens taken over my soul
The only thing I want is
The only way I wanna go

The reds were in my head, the blues were in my soul
Swirl in my mind, never let go
Blind my eyes with a cold embrace
I'll lay my veil all across my face
Everyone I used to know
Sees me strange, sees me bold
Everthing I used to hold
Will fade away my soul

No confessions and no regrets
I'll paint the black all across my chest
Gimme darkness and gimme rest
Gimme blackness or gimme death
