Blondie Album

Following my lust for wander
Everywhere I've ever been,
I can't escape the sound of it
The sound of my screaming skin.

My skin cries.
My blood sighs.
I still owe some dread on this hide.

Following my trust in wonder
I watch the circus begin.
I can't ignore the scent of it
The scent of my screaming skin.

My skin cries.
My blood sighs.
I still owe some dread on this hide.

La la la la la la la.
La la la la la la la.

I'm a multicellular individual.
You're way out of proportion!
We've got the hemodynamic connection.
Don't call me germ!

Allowing for my strength to muster.
My losses begin to win.
Tropical winds start to bluster,
Raising the fur on my skin.

My skin cries.
My spirits fly.
But I still owe some dread on this hide.

Oooh.

Yeah!
I'm a multicellular individual.
You're way out of proportion!
We've got the hemodynamic connection.
And don't call me germ!

Swallowing my pride no longer,
I take the forbidden sun.
If I have been sculpted by hunger,
I'm not the only one.

My skin cries.
My blood sighs.
I still owe some dread on this hide of mine.

La la la la la la la.
La la la la.
La la la la la la la la.

I'm a multicellular individual.
You're way out of proportion, ah ha!
We've got the hemodynamic connection.
Don't call me germ!

My skin cries.
My spirit flies.
But I still owe some dread on this hide.

My skin cries.
My blood sighs.
And I still owe some dread on this hide of mine.

My spirit flies.
My blood sighs.
And I still owe some dread on this hide of mine.

My skin cries.
My spirit flies.
But I still owe some dread on this hide.

In the beginning, in the days before time, the light was alive with the essense of power.
And from that power were born beings who lived on the edge of eternity.
And they spread their wings and soared through the ancient air.
And the beating of their wings made the winds.
And from the winds came the seas.
And from the sea came the life of the earth.

Nature's cast upon the sea the winds of past, of promise be.
Waters deep uncover me.
A scheme of sleep as lovers three.

If you'll forgive me my ferocity, I won't forget your sweetness.
Pull down the night, lay it before me.
Gratify my head with curses.

Night recalls tranquility.
A curtain falls and sets it free.
Darkness calls eternity.
Down silent halls the shadows flee.

If you'll forgive me my ferocity, I won't forget your sweetness.
Pull down the night, lay it before me.
Satisfy my head with curses.

Forgive and forget.
Forgive and forget.
Forgive and forget.

Fates are cast upon the sea.
The winds of past of promise be.
Waters deep uncover me.
A scheme of sleep as lovers three.

Forgive and forget.
Forgive and forget.

She moves like she don't care
Smooth as silk, cool as air
Ooh it makes you wanna cry
She doesn't know your name
And your heart beats like a subway train
Ooh it makes you wanna die

Ooh, don't you wanna take her?
Wanna make her all your own?

Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Medina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights

I've seen this thing before
In my best friend and the boy next door
Fool for love and full of fire
Won't come in from the rain
She's oceans running down the drain
Blue as ice and desire

Don't you wanna make her?
Ooh, don't you wanna take her home?

Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Regina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights

Ooh, don't you wanna break her?
Ooh, don't you wanna take her home?

She walks like she don't care
Walkin' on imported air
Ooh, it makes you wanna die

Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Medina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights

Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Regina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights

There's no sin in this
Getting dressed to kill
Laughing down the sun like a jackal will
With his eyes ablaze yeah and his lips apart
He's gonna fill his cup with the love in your heart
And drink it up till the morning starts
Circulate the red light mistress
Get the girls and get their sisters
Pinch em’ up and give em’ blisters
Kiss em’ fierce with all his might forever
Bye, bye to another life
Bye, bye to another life
Bye, bye to another life
Bye, bye to another life
Standing on the verge of the edge of the ledge
Waiting for me to fall but
Then I got a call
It said; "Wait hold up homie
You must be trippin’
You can't be putting that sippin’ and whippin’ up in your pippin
You better stand tall
Fool you was born to ball
Took a little fall and now you wanna end it all
You've been chasing dreams like a hound dog on the hunt
Take your place in the front
Put your hand on the pump
And it's right in your grasp man
I know they're laughing but you'll be laughing later
Cuz’ time's are gonna get greater
You's’ a player and when I say player
I mean player cuz your daddy and your uncle was a player"
Who's gonna cry for ya’?
Who's gonna cry over you?
Who's gonna cry for ya’?
Who's gonna cry over you?
Put yourself in your position
You ain't wantin’ no fight no food
Ain't no want and no light
So you must be doing all right
But wait a minute
Something's wrong
It's lunatic it's mad insane
Busted like a water main
Indulgence in another vein
What they're saying round the neighbourhood
Is what he's drinking's not aged in wood
He's filling out
He's all blowed up
He's all blowed up
He's gotten fat
He's filling out
He's all blowed up
He's all blowed up
He's gotten fat
And sure enough at the midnight lounge
There's a dent in the seat where the vampire sat
Bye, bye to another life
Bye, bye to another life
Living dead is doing time
Like drowning on the circle line
Who's gonna cry for ya’?
Who's gonna cry over you?
Who's gonna cry for ya’?
Who's gonna cry over you?
Who's gonna cry over you?
Cry over you?
Tell me would they lie for you?
Die for you?
You're hoping that it's true for you do for you fool
But who's gonna cry?
Who’s gonna cry…

Looking for your face
Where it could never be
I'm following a trail that only I can see
Blazing waves of heat
I press on in tiny bursts of speed
Caught in my pursuit
I play the fetishistic mission
The longing that I feel drives me mad in your direction
Nailed by something cute I tear it out with microsurgical precision
Incender
Put some gas on the embers
Lightning goes to ground
Incender
Crazy fool on a bender
Striking the ground
Burning me down
Double take
Left with an aftertaste
I look again
Was it your face?
Double take
I'm in an altered state
I look again
Was it really you?
Another flash of face igniting and familiar
Pulls me by the eye to the perimiter
Riveting my gaze
Is that your face in the crowd?
Incender
Drop some gas on the ember
I felt a slap on the face
Incender
Crazy fool on a bender
Striking the ground
Burning me down
Double take
Left with an aftertaste
I look again
Was it your face?
I fell awake
I'm in an altered state
I look again
Was it really you?
Double take
Left with an aftertaste
I look again
Was it your face?
Looking for your face where it could never be
I'm following a trail that only I can see
Double take
I'm in an altered state
I look again
Was it really you?
I'm following a trail that only I can see

Some days are all Mondays
Sort of time on ice
It seems like jet planes
On snowed in runways
Under clear blue skies
Who needs it?
Nothing is real but the girl
Nothing is real but her
Money goes to money
In a figure eight around me
Mommy
Who's gonna love me if I liquidate and drown me?
Nothing is real but the girl
Nothing else feels solid
We believe in love
We believe in little things
Like heaven up above and seven it's a lucky number
We believe that something lives inside every thing there is
Don't think about it much
I mean it
I believe it
I believe it
Wind down
Put your mind down
Like your missing school
You'll teach her to find out
While your dying
In your living room
How much you need her
Nothing is real but the girl
Only her eyes are solid
Nothing is real but her
Nothing is real but the girl

Passing the match test?
That's some kind of tease, cuz everything rests on the moment the little flame sees
Let's go boom boom in the zoom zoom room

If you get past that brief little flash, take down my number with your pencil moustache
Play truth or dare in the light of a strike anywhere
Don't follow the fallen already lying down there

Let's go boom boom in the zoom zoom room
Oh yeah, uh huh
Boom boom in the zoom zoom room

I'll be the cause you can champion
Your scarlet companion
And won't it be fine?
Keeping my head above water
I'm no farmer's daughter
No clinging vine

When we trip the light fantastic, a feeling so rare, it will follow your features aligned by the glare...
Let's go boom boom in the zoom zoom room
Let's go boom boom in the zoom zoom room

I'll be the cause you can champion
Your scarlet companion
And won't it be fun?
I'll keep my head above water
I'm no farmer's daughter
No clinging vine

Passing the match test and no one says thank you cuz they're gone just as fast as a breeze

Boom boom in the zoom zoom room
Yeah, let's go boom
Boom boom in the zoom zoom room
Ah, let's go, let's go boom boom in the zoom zoom room

Your music by the night wind sent
Awakes my quiet instrument
In the silence of your steps
I can see into the depths
Messenger of sympathies
My heart beats loud in ecstasy
When your shadow falls on me
A silhouette reality
And I chase every night after you
And I chase after you
Of all your loaded mysteries
The colour of your sympathies
My words cannot express your awful loveliness
So come with me through smoke and mirrors
We'll bring our differences nearer
We'll float upon an inland sea
Embody visions of a dream
And I chase every night after you
I got a chill and the night wind sent
Me a chill
And the night wind sent
Me a chill
You wander through my sleeping mind
Reading thoughts I've left behind
I always know when you've been there
Tangles of perfume fill my hair
Your music by the night wind sent
Awakes my quiet instrument
In the silence of your steps
I can see into the depths

I still can picture him: his hands in his back pockets.
He wasn't much for words, but when the wise kids made a racket he'd just have to go downtown, throw his weight around before starting over.

"Say did you hear I've got a band?
Some guys I know from L.A.
We'll own the Rio Grande.
I'll pay you back next Friday.
You know it sure ain't big, just some cats I dig.
They said they'd do the gig."

Oh Desperado, why don't you spend your life in Colorado?
Oh Restless Shadow, out in the blue hills you're feeling hollow.

Oh El Diablo, why did you spend your life in California?
I should have warned ya.
No place to go now but falling over.

Some hands can't make it on the run, under the gun.
Not for the younger.
Oh Jack Daniels, I feel your hunger.

I know you did your best, but you thought that you did not.
I wish that I had known before I heard the last shot.
You know, it's not a sin, that little badge of tin.
Just a momento.

So sad you loved in vain.
My comrades lost in battle.
The music wars are done from London to Seattle.
We all pay to play and all our yesterdays are starting over.

Oh Desperado, why don't you spend your life in Colorado?
Oh Restless Shadow, out on the blue hills you're feeling hollow.

Oh El Diablo, why did you spend your life in California?
I should have warned ya.
No place to go now but falling over.

Ready to die.
Now he's ready to die.

He don’t hang around with the gang no more.
He don’t do the wild things that he did before.

(ooh)
He used to act bad.
Used to, but he quit it.
It makes me so sad, ’cause I know that he did it for me (and I can see) and I
can see (still in the street) his heart, his heart is out in the street.

He don’t comb his hair like he did before.
He don’t wear those dirty old black boots no more.

(ooh)
But he’s not the same.
There’s something ’bout his kisses... that tells me he’s changed.
I know there’s something missing inside.
(tell me more)
Something died.
(still in the street)
His heart, his heart is out in the streets.

He grew up on the sidewalk, streetlights shining above.
He grew up with no one to love.

He grew up on the sidewalk, he grew up running free.
He grew up and then he met me.

He don’t hang around with the gang no more.
Gee, he doesn’t smile like he did before.

(ooh)
I wish I didn’t care.
I wish I’d never met him.

They’re waiting out there, so I got to set him free.
(send him back)
He’s gotta be...
(out in the street)
His heart, his heart is out in the street.

He don’t hang around with the gang no more.
(he’s out in the street)
He don’t hang around with the gang no more.
He don’t hang around with the gang no more.
(he’s out in the street)
He don’t hang around with the gang no more.
He don’t hang around with the gang no more.
(he’s out in the street)
He don’t hang around with the gang no more.
He don’t hang around with the gang no more.
(he’s out in the street)
He don’t hang around with the gang no more.

I'm like a happy dog
Who's been alone too long
I wanna wag for you, baby

Raise a flag of wag
Shake and shag
I wanna wag for you, baby

Come on now, throw me some bone
I'm ripping up your song
I wanna be your dog
Skinny or fat
I'm gonna go with that
And chase your pussycat

Be my happy dog
My leaping frog
And jump all over me
'Cause my little mutt's
Got that hairy butt
He's gonna wag it for me, baby

Hey come over here, Mr. Licks
I like when you pick up sticks
When you throw me a fit
And no matter what
You tell the tale of a pup
'Cause you're my kind of mutt

I disagree
I wanna itch you like a flea
Gonna teach my old dog
To do some new tricks, mmm-hmm

Don't be begging me
Just take a seat
On my lap of luxury
'Cause I'm a happy dog
Who's been alone too long
I wanna wag for you, baby

Come on now, throw me some bone
I'm ripping up your song
I wanna be your dog
Skinny or fat
I wanna go with that
And chase your pussycat

I wanna wag for you, baby
I wanna wag for you
I wanna wag for you, baby
I wanna wag for you
I wanna wag for you, baby

I wake up laughing, thrown from a nightmare.
I come down standing when I'm tossed in the air.
Bright as Tiajuana.
Like a dose of Bella Donna.
I could cry but I don't wanna.
And the dream's lost on me.

I come out shootin' when trouble comes knockin'.
I greet bad news by sending it walkin'.
Happy or just crazy.
Relaxed or laxy.
Gonna keep my vision hazy.
And the dream's lost on me.

Cares are all buckshot and buffalo.
Every dark has an afterglow.
I'm not afraid of what's down below.
I keep my sights on the sky.

I wake up laughing, thrown from a nightmare.
I come down standing when I'm tossed in the air.
Bright as Tiajuana.
Like a dose of Bella Donna.
I could cry but I don't wanna.
And the dream's lost on me.

I come out shootin' when trouble comes knockin'.
I greet bad news by sending it walkin'.
Happy or just crazy.
Relaxed or laxy.
I'm gonna keep my vision hazy.
And the dream's lost on me.

Not of this world entirely
Heaven sent you are my deity
Lived through all the romance
Sadly meant for me
{Ohhh, ahhh}
All I need is a sign
Make your presence known to mine
Come to me I will be divine
I wear the spell you put on me
Like a charm
No one else can see
Keeps away the wicked
Badly meant for me
{Ohhh, ahhh}
All I need is a sign
Make your presence known to mine
Come to me and I will be divine
And when I thought my fire finally died
I felt your spell tight as ever-tide
No one is above the rituals of love
Temptation calls and the stars fall from the blue
There is no limitation
Except for me and you
Lived through all the romance
Sadly meant for me
{Ohhh, ahhh}
All I need is a sign
Make your presence known to mine
Come to me and I will be divine
All I need is a sign
Make your presence known to mine
Come to me and I will be divine

Dig up the conjo
Break in the mojo
Dig up the conjo
Making me well
Who do you love?
Little mouse got a gun to your head
And drums in the night going blind
Hypnotised
Lost in the Congo
Holding the bongo
Kilimanjaro
Dig up the conjo
Listen to gods
For the name little hearts
Be like saints come marching in
Deep in the bayou
Demon inside you
Put on the hoo doo
Put on the hoo doo
Who do you love?
"Hey mommy do you see that man?"
"Hey mommy I don't understand"
"It's only a zombie honey hailing a cab"
"Just hold my hand and don't look in his face"
Jungle inside you
Something's beside you
Doing the mambo
Dig up the conjo
Who do you love?
{Who do you love?}
{Who do you love?}
Aloha down the well
Come and ring the bell
The jungle's burning down
Lost in the Congo
Beating the bongo
Dig up the conjo
Who do you love?
Took the best
In the sun
Hold your breath
Something comes
It's so long
Half alive
Watching you while it flies
Lost in the Congo
Beating the bongo
Breaking the mojo
Dig up the conjo
Beating the bongo
Holding the mojo
Making me well
