New York Dolls Album

I always seen you, just before the dawn
When all the other kids, where just draggin along
I couldn't believe the way it seemed to be
Rememberin the things, you used to say to me

(About...)
You know I can't be wastin time
Cus gotta get my fun
I got to keep on movin
Cant stop til it's all done

Listen when I tell ya, you got no time for fix
Cus I just gotta make it, cant afford to miss
And there's one reason, I'm tellin you this
I feels bad....
And I'm lookin for a kiss

Why wontcha tell me, why those kids are moving so slow
Is it just because they don't have no place to go
When the day starts breakin, the sun is gonna shine
It's hard to sleep, when I been cryin

(And...)
All you ladies are on
Your way to church
(I'm beggin)
Will I just be a' roamin
Lookin turn to a search

Listen when I tell ya, you got no time for fix
Cus I just gotta make it, cant afford to miss
And there's one reason, I'm tellin you this
I feels bad....
And I'm lookin for a kiss

Well I been lookin for a real hot kiss...

You think it's bad, but you know that it's true
So why don't let me live baby
When I'm lookin for a kiss
When everyone goes to your house, they shoot up in your room
Most of them are beautiful, but so obsessed with gloom

I ain't gonna be here, when they all get home
They're always lookin at me, they wont leave me alone
I didnt come here, lookin for no fix
(I know...)
I been houndin the street all night late baby
Justa lookin for a kiss

I need fix and a kiss

I didnt come here, lookin for no fix
(I know...)
I been haulin booty, all night long
Just lookin for a kiss

And now you're walkin'
Just like you're ten foot tall
Go ahead

Lickity split
Better move quick
Better not slip
Better get hip
I don't think it fits
Lookin' for a hoot
I'm gonna shout
Where'd you get them boots?

Just like Puss 'n' Boots
I hope you don't get shot for tryin'
Oh baby, shot for tryin'

Oh, little rhinestone target
Has to change his name
'Cause all the boys and girls
Think that you're too easy game
Don't you know the shoes
Is makin' him lame?
Shut him up, boss
Keep the change

Just like Puss 'n' Boots
I hope you don't get shot for tryin'
Get shot for tryin'

There's just one thing that I'm trying to say
Sometimes you got to get away some place

And now you're walkin'
Just like you're ten foot tall
Oh, boy girl that's just all

Just like Puss 'n' Boots
I hope you don't get shot for tryin'
Baby, shot for tryin'

If all you wanna do is save your face
And what you gonna do after this place?
I'm screamin' help, help, help
Full of grace, now, what I say?

Little rhinestone target
Has to change his name
All the boys and girls
Think he's too easy game
Don't you know the boots
Are makin' him lame?
I'm screamin' shut him up, boss
Keep the change

Just like Puss 'n' Boots
I hope you don't get shot for tryin'
Baby, shot for tryin'

Well, this is one thing that I'm tryin' to say
Sometimes you got to get away some way

Until you're walkin'
Just like you're ten foot tall
Boy girl that should be all
Just like you're ten foot tall
I sure hope you don't fall
Oh, when you're ten foot tall
Go ahead now

Making that split
Better move quick
Better not slip
Better get hip
I done plead the fifth
Going for a hoot
I thought I'd shout
Where did you get them boots?

Just like Puss 'n' Boots
I hope you don't get shot

And dry those tears from your eyes
You gotta hush
Dontcha know you gotta hush

(Oh, alright)

When I'm getting home to you
I gotta show you what I can do
But everything connects and that ain't nowhere
Well, but maybe they're just giving you all you've ever wanted
And maybe you never ever know what that was
And maybe you're just finding it out now
With a Vietnamese baby on your mind

Technology satellite, well
What's wrong today and why was
Everyone so busy they've forgotten why they're playing
That he said, what's wrong today is what wrong with you
You're so solid, busy solid, that's all you do
With a Vietnamese baby on your mind
Your pretty little mind

Catch me your slaves, shot at
Every riffle on the way and I gotta
Show you more mustard gas than any girl ever seen
Since I been blasted, I've been blown, I've been backing away
You've got to back it away
You've got to take a search of values, yeah
But I've got a concert out to play
With a Vietnamese baby on your mind
Your pretty little mind
Your pretty little mind

When I'm getting home to you
I've got to show you what I can do
But everything connects and that ain't nowhere
No no no baby no nowhere
It just won't give a no
I'm talking about your overture
Talking bout your overture
Got to shout about your overture
Now that it's over, now that it's over
Now that it's over, what ya gonna do?

[No lyrics]

Something must have happened over Manhattan
Who can expound all the children this time
Could they ever, could they ever
Expect such a Frankenstein, Frankenstein
I remember when you were jammin'
You worked at 'em and any of them
There was never nothing you would ever understand
But you know who was there to be your master
Making his demands and plans
As though he's making his friends
And when those plans they don't mix your style
You get a feeling of your own ordeal
That's when he starts calling you, wow
Bud, you just don't know what to do
So now you come around here
And you're trying to take over the town
Just because of back home, baby
Oh, he puts you down
Oh, baby, how he puts you down
I know they put you down

So now, you're off starting 'round here
Here you ask and demand
In a place where they don't expect nothing
You're trying not to dirty your hands
When asking you as a person
Is it a crime, is it a crime
For you to fall in love with Frankenstein
Is it wrong, could it be wrong
Wrong, baby, don't you want a friend
Cause you're trying to be so selective
You never realize the whole time
Who's the one you're loving
Misunderstood like a Frankenstein
And down, down, down, just go just down
Like Frankenstein, like Frankenstein

So now you're telling me
What everytime you can get down home
Well don't you know there's place, it is my home
So where am I gonna go
You know, when you don't expect nothing
You know, when you're not alone, you know you're not alone
Cause something must have happened over them higher
Who can expound all the children this time
Could you ever, could you ever
Expect such a Frankenstein, Frankenstein, Frankenstein

And all this shoes are too big
And house jacket's too small
How you don't know Frankenstein, a Frankenstein
We're asking yu as a person
Is it a crime, is it a crime
For you to fall in love in with Frankenstein
Wrong, could it be wrong
Baby, don't you want a friend
Well, Frankenstein, oh, Frankenstein, Frankenstein
You're gonna get it, you're gonna get it
You're gonna get it, from Frankenstein
That's what I'm gonna shout about
Gonna scream about, I'm gonna shout about, scream about
Scream about, shout about a Frankenstein
Frankenstein, Frankenstein, Frankenstein

I've gotta ask you one question
Do you think that you could make it with Frankenstein?

(whistle)

Trash, go pick it up, take them lights away
Trash, go pick it up, don't take your life away
Trash, go pick it up, the doctor take my knife away
And please don't you ask me if I love you
If you don't know what I'm doing
What you know is,

Trash, go pick it up, don't throw your love away
Trash, go pick it up, the doctor take my knife away
And please don't you ask me if I love you
Cause I don't know what I do
What I know is,

Trash, go pick it up, don't take my knife away
Trash, go pick it up, the doctor take them all away
And please don't you ask me if I love you
Cause I don't know if I do
I want to wipe it out here with you
And take a lover's sleep with you
I'm gonna talk alone with you
I'm gonna talk and be with you
But I just don't know if I do
I just don't know if I do

Ah how do you call your loverboy?

Trash, go pick it up, go put that knife away
Trash, go pick it up, don't give your life away

Well we can't take it this week
And her friends don't want another speech
Hoping for a better day to hear what she's got to say


All about that Personality Crisis you got it while it was hot
But now frustration and heartache is what you got
(That's why they talk about Personality)


But now your tryin to be some no you got to do some
Wanna be someone who cow wow wows
But you think about the times you did they took every ounce
when it sure got to be a shame when you start to scream and shout
you got to contradict all those times you were butterflyin about
(You were butterflyin)


All about that Personality Crisis you got it while it was hot
But now frustration and heartache is what you got


And your a prima ballerina on a spring afternoon
change on into the wolfman howlin at the moon hooowww


All about that Personality Crisis you got it while it was hot
But now frustration and heartache is what you got


Now with all the crossin fingers that mother nature says
Your mirrors get jammed up with all your friends
That personality everything starts to bend
Personality when your mind starts to bend
Personality impression of a friend,
Of a friend, of a friend, of a friend, of a friend
Personality wonderin how celebrities ever met
(Look and find out on television)


Personality Crisis you got it while it was hot
frustration and heartache is all you got don't you worry

Personality Crisis please don't cry
it's just a Personality Crisis please don't stop


Because you walk a Personality
Talk a Personality

Well if you don't like it
Go ahead, find yourself a saint
go ahead now,
Try to find a boy
who's gonna be what I ain't
now what you need is
A plastic doll with a fresh coat of paint
Who's gonna sit through the madness
And always acts so quaint
Said yeah yeah yeah

With your new friend
You're really making a scene
And I see you bouncing around
From machine to machine
And you know
They're never real, they're
Never what they seem
And you can try to generate some warmth
And you see just what I mean
I said yeah yeah yeah

And If I'm acting like a king
Well that's cause I'm a human being
and if I want too many things
don't you know that
I'm a human being
and if I've got to dream
baby baby baby yeah
I'm a human being
and when it gets a bit obscene
(wooah) I'm a human being

And I've just got to go around
With my head hung down
Just like a human, babe,
An unknown human being
And I can hold my head so high
Cause I'm a human, a riff raff human being

why won't you give me a little sip
why don't you try me on a drag of that cigarette
why don't you try to give me something
that I will never ever forget
but now don't you blow it all
on a million dollar bet
because you're liable to lose it
on the best lovin' you've had yet
I'm beggin yeah yeah oh yeah

And If I'm acting like a king
Well that's cause I'm a human being
I want too many things
Don't you know that
I'm a human being
And if I've got to dream
I said well, I'm a human being
And when it gets a bit obscene
(wooah) I'm a human being

And I've got to go around
With my head hung down
Just like a human, babe
An unknown human being
and I can hold my head so high
Cause I'm a human, a riff raff human being

In fact I'm talking about the human race
You're trying to cover up the big disgrace
I said yeah yeah yeah,
Oh C'mon C'mon C'mon

Yeah, yeah, oh yeah
Well I may think that this whole scene is just a
Too appalling for me
Or I may be the type who's just a mad about
Every little thing that I see
Well I can color that with mystery
Or make it just what I want it to be
While I'm blowing my change on the fan magazines
With all the Hollywood refugees, screaming
Yeah yeah, oh yeah

And If I'm acting like a king
I said well, I'm a human being
And if I want too many things
don't you know that
I'm a human being
And if I've got to dream
Baby baby, I'm a human being
And when it gets a bit obscene
(wooah) I'm a human being
And I've got to go around
With my head hung down
Just like a human being
We're all just human being
And I can hold my head so high
Cause I'm a human, a first class human being

I'm a human being
I'm a human being
I'm a human being
I'm a human being
