Kill me if you dare
hold my head up everywhere,
keep myself right on this train.
I'm the Underdog
live my life on a lullaby.
Keep myself riding on this train,
keep myself riding on this train.

Love in technicolor,
sprayed out on walls.
I've been pounding at the pavement,
'til there's nothing at all.
I got my cloak and dagger,
in a bar room brawl.
See the locals loves a fighter,
loves a winner to fall.

Feels like I'm lost in a moment.
I'm always losing to win.
Can't get away from the movement,
seems like it's time to begin.

Kill me if you dare
hold my head up everywhere,
keep myself right on this train.
I'm the Underdog
live my life on a lullaby
keep myself riding on this train,
keep myself riding on this train.

It don't matter,
I won't do what you say.
You've got the money and the power,
but I won't go your way.
I can't take for the people,
they don't matter at all.
I'll be waiting in the shadows,
'til the day that you fall.

Feels like I'm lost in a moment.
I'm always losing to win.
Can't get away from the movement,
seems like it's time to begin.

Kill me if you dare
hold my head up everywhere,
keep myself right on this train.
I'm the Underdog
live my life on a lullaby
Keep myself riding on this train.

Tell me if you're down,
throw your weapons to the ground.
Keep myself right on this train.
Hey bud, on the wire,
sold yourself for another one.
Keep myself riding on this train,
keep myself riding on this train.

. . .


Ever took a punch
In the ribcage sonny?
Ever been a soul
Who had no shrine?
Keep this all in your mind
And get it inside my window
What do we become
Trying to kill each other?
You’re faking it son
Gonna get you tonight
I suck another breath
To the heart of the Revolution
Coz you still ain’t right

Where did all the love go?
I don’t know, I don’t know
[I bet you can't see it]
Where did all the love go?
I don’t know, I don’t know
[I bet you can't see it]

Can’t see the signs
Of a real change a commin’
Take another sip
From your hobo’s wine
Get yourself a million miles
From the concrete jungle
This is a time
Full of fear full of anger
A hero’s exchange for a telephone line
Whatever happened to the
Youth of this generation?
But you still ain’t right

Where did all the love go?
I don’t know, I don’t know
[I bet you can't see it]
Where did all the love go?
Now I don’t know why
Oh why

The rivers of the pavement
Are flowing down with blood
The children of the future
Are drowning in the hood

Where did all the love go?
Now I don’t know why
I don’t know why

[instrumental]

In this social chaos
There’s violence in the air
Gotta keep your wits about you
Be careful not to stare
Oh-oh-oh-oh

Where did all the love go?
I don’t know, I don’t know
[I bet you can't see it]
Where did all the love go?
Now I don’t know why
Oh why
[I bet you can't see it]

whow baby i was born
with a fast fuse
got no time to love
just a city to abuse

whow baby i was born
with a fast fuse
got no time to love
just a city to abuse

Come get me
If you're fine don't arrest me
Imma listen to shy, wild S.E. done
That's right
Cause she' the morning sun

Come get me
All you people can't touch me
I'm a hooligan cry, shy, sit down tight,
It don't matter
give me one, two, three

come light in the skylight
come light me in the sky

whow baby i was born
with a fast fuse
got no time to love
just a city to abuse

Don't you say goodbye
Above the

Oooh
How dare you!
Now it's time to address you
I'm the reason you came, shame, suck my name
see my fish
poppin' up your -???-
Get in ?hampton?
Now I'm spitting out lava

I was better in the words, chess
genuine stock
hear the pot going
tick, tick, tock...

Come light me in the skyline
come light me in the sky
Come light me in the skyline
come light me in the sky

Whow baby I was born
with a fast fuse
got no time to love
just a city to abuse

In the middle of the night
When they come for you
Where you gonna be
whatcha gonna do?!

Hit me, call me,
hit me, call me,
I'm gonna be there
Hey! Hey!

. . .


Nightmares, oh nightmares come on now
Getting my days all wrong now
Risen from prison an outlaw
Spending our time in the lion’s jaw
In the end you sink or swim
I’m eager, I’m eager…

Loving more loving come on now
Socially biting your tongue now
Run down oh run down old houses
Feeding the cats to the mouses

Oh take aim now!
Oh take aim now!
Can you see me in the way now
Oh take aim now!
Oh take aim now!
Gotta get us out of here

Drop them and give them star prizes
Lock them away in high rises
Held off and called on by truncheons
Rattling keys to the dungeons

Oh take aim now!
Oh take aim now!
Can you see me in the way now
Oh take aim now!
Oh take aim now!
Gotta get us out of here

Don’t take me over
I bid you all farewell
I’ve got to leave…
Tears on my shovel
Switch me off today

Oh take aim now!
Oh take aim now!
Can you see me in the way now
Oh take aim now!
Oh take aim now!
Gotta get us out of here

Oh take aim now!
Oh take aim now!
Can you see me in the way now
Oh take aim now!
Oh take aim now!
Gotta get us out of here

Don’t take me over
I bid you all farewell
I’ve got to leave…

here we were thick as thieves
Frightened by shadows and the autumn leaves
We wore stolen hats, fitted souls
Aided by lies amongst the media foes

And hey ho
Where did it go?
When did we lose our sight?
And it's a nice show
The ones we perform
Performing them day and night
Night...

See the lines upon my face
Walking circles with the human race
And all the little people
They want to be free
But I can't get there
Coz I got you holding me back

And hey ho
Where did it go?
When did we lose our sight?
And it's a nice show
The ones we perform
Performing them day and night
Night...

Let me be free

La lalala la lalala
la lalala la la la la
La lalala la lalala
la lalala la la la la

Gave you all the high skies
But you gave me night
I gave you all the high skies
But you gave me night, yeah
I gave you all the high skies
But you gave me night
I gave you all the high skies
But you gave me night
Let the lights sing again...

There we were thick as thieves
Frightened by shadows and the autumn leaves

Goodbye my sweet
Goodbye
Goodbye...

. . .


Mist covers the ground
In the city
Engine rumbles quiet
As we drift by

I wish you could see it
Through my crooked eye
Oh your beauty
Plays me just like a guitar string [it's so true]

I want your touch
Oh how I want you far too much
She my baby
He’s my baby

Ahhhhh

Days drift into one
It’s so pretty
Travelling we’ll burys Polly’s photofits
And this stolen car
Is loaded with junk
It’s so dirty
He’ll be the death of me
But that’s ok

I want your touch
Oh how I want you far too much
She my baby
He’s my baby

. . .


Face check I walk this beach
I'm frying in the heat in the cauldron stir me
Chomp down my diamond teeth I ain't got
The simple things in life I feel like
You have got to witness
This is your last retreat
My last repeat

All my friends are as sharp as razors
cut you down if you touch the faders
High class girls hung in elevators
Now we have got the floor

Get loose get loose

You can't miss me I'm still alive
Snake skin shoes I'm pleading homicide
Come on and feel this I'm still alive
Joker meet you on the other side

Banshee I hear you call
We need to raise the dead we need to raise the people
Cut throat this blood runs thick
It is true the simple things in life have been lost
You have got to witness
We are the last beatniks
The lost heretics

All my friends are as sharp as razors
cut you down if you touch the faders
Listen up all you masqueraders
Now we have got the floor
Now we have got the floor

Get loose get loose

You can't miss me I'm still alive
Snake skin shoes I'm pleading homicide
Come on and feel this I'm still alive
Joker meet you on the other side

. . .


I tell you something isn't right
Way I'm feeling kept me up all night
Fix myself another drink
If this sounds crazy I need time to think

All the good ones got away
All the good ones gone to waste

And I take another hit
Do I really care how much I still live?
All the TV's hypnotise
All the loonies on the rise

And oh man well I gotta tell you

Tonight ladies and gentlemen
I roll the dice
Just gimme that dice
It's been so hard looking for no one
I roll the dice
Just gimme that dice

Wakey, wakey rise and shine
Put down your souvenirs I fear its time
We've been dipped behind the eyes
Switching stations as our country dies

No matter what you do, you know the world it keeps on turning
We never feel a thing
C'mon and meet me at the carnival

Tonight ladies and gentlemen
I roll the dice
Just gimme that dice
It's been so hard looking for no one
I roll the dice
Just gimme that dice

No matter what you do, you know the world it keeps on turning
We never feel a thing…

. . .


This is the end of the tracks
Where the fountains
Climb into your eye
Nobody’s hurting and nobody’s lying
They climb into your eye
Never to die…

They say the man he used to sail on his journey
And laid a trap so much
The pilgrims for their money
He placed his gold all over this world

And in morning as he looked out over Cairo
He makes his process
And his smoked them in a barrum
He could not die
And we never found out why

This is the end of the tracks
Where the fountains
climb into your eye
Nobody’s hurting and nobody’s lying
They climb into your eye
Never to…

This is the end of the tracks
Where the fountains
Climb into your eye
Nobody’s hurting and nobody’s crying
They climb into your eye
Never to die…

No one’s getting older
Everybody’s feeling young
Journey’s almost over now
There’s hope for everyone

This is the end of the tracks
Where the fountains close
[This is the end of time]
This is the end of the tracks
Where the fountains close
[This is the end of our life]

. . .


Shake me into the night
And I'm an easy lover
Take me into the fight
And I'm an easy brother
And I'm on fire

Burn my sweet effigy
I'm a road runner
Spill my guts on a wheel
I wanna taste uh-huh
And I'm on fire
And I'm on fire

And I'm on fire
I'm on fire
Whoo Whoo
Whoo Whoo

Wire me up to machines
I'll be your prisoner
Find it hard to believe
You are my murderer
I'm on fire behind you
Heads a fallen sky

I'm on fire
I'm on fire
Whoo Whoo
Whoo Whoo

I'm on fire
I'm on fire
Whoo Whoo
Whoo Whoo

. . .


I will follow you now
Wherever you go
I’ll be with you now
Stick around forever
And I never wanna see those tears again
No no
When will you realise
That I ain’t that tough

Save what you got
Keep it safe
Don’t ever stop
There’s nothing more
It’s nothing less
It’s all we got
It’s happiness
It’s happiness…

Ain’t that right
Ain’t that right

And I will have a thousand dreams
Of how I care for you
Through these careless dreams
Look into the future
And I never wanna see those tears again
No no
When will you realise
That you make me breath out

Save what you got
Keep it safe
Don’t never stop
It’s nothing more
It’s nothing less
It’sall we got
It’s happiness
Happiness
Oh it’s always been you
It’s always been you

And I know you got to make it right
Handing out my feelings
On these goods are too loud

Oh and it don’t matter
Yeah I pay my dues
And you know there’s one thing
That keeps us together
It’s gonna keep us together
Now now now now

Save what you got
Keep it safe
Don’t ever stop
It’s nothing more
It’s nothing less
It’s all I got
It’s happiness

Happiness!

Somebody hold their hands out
Coz my mind has gone
I'm walking through all the debris
Coz my kite have gone
You can't get through

Prop up your eggs and bacon
With your silver spoon
I saw you play Old Medusa
In the dungeon room
You can't get through

You've! Got it! On the brain!
Go pop your cherry down Grope Cunny Lane
Crabs! Shatter! King of Spain!
You'll lose your mind down at Grope Cunny Lane

Go get the local doctor
And lets have some fun
I hope I avoid the papers
On the prison run
Can I watch you?

Rank! Mother! City boy!
Don't sit around and jumping for joy
Brother! T-shirt! King of Spain!
You'll lose your mind down in Grope Cunny Lane

. . .


Making my stops at the Road Kill Cafe
Combing my hair with skeleton bone
Cover my shoes and they taste like honey
Cover my scent to the spider and the fly
Cover my scent coz spider don't try

Living by the rhythm at the Road Kill Cafe
You can run for President straighten up your tie
Open your mind, it'll make you happy
Polish your blues with potatoes and a pie
A jacknife rabbit just swoop me in the eye

I just want to spend time with you
I just want to spend all my time with you
And if I want you to fight I'll leave
I just wanna see you, I like seeing you

Calling all the freaks to the Road Kill Cafe
You can leave be your babies with your rides by the door
Look at your suit man you dress so snappy
Sharpen your machete on a hoodoo drum
Feeding your spaghetti through the barrel of a gun
Feeding your spaghetti through the barrel of a gun

Calling all the freaks to the Road Kill Cafe
Calling all the freaks to the Road Kill Cafe
Calling all the freaks to the Road Kill Cafe
Calling all the freaks to the Road Kill Cafe
