Stray hungry dog
Stealing meat from a garbage can
If he don't get what he want
He get it when he can
City streets
Full of creeps
I'm knee deep in scum
Feel like christ on the cross
With a loaded fun

I'll kick ya like a horse now honey
Bite me like a dog
Scratch me till i bleed now sugar
Dontcha ever stop

Girl we gotta shake some action
Girl we gotta shake some action
We gotta get right down to the real nitty gritty
Get right down to the real nitty gritty

Hipshaker
Heartbreaker
Spine cracker
Voodoo witch
You got the gold
Gonna dig dig your sugar ditch
I'll do the crime
Serve the time
Murder first degree
Cast your spell
Gimme hell
Get down on your knees

I'll kick ya like a horse now honey
Bite me like a dog
Scratch me till i bleed now sugar
Dontcha ever stop

Girl we gotta shake some action
Girl we gotta shake some action
We gotta get right down to the real nitty gritty
Get right down to the real nitty gritty

Get down

Girl we gotta shake some action
Girl we gotta shake some action
We gotta get right down to the real nitty gritty
Get right down to the real nitty gritty

If yr gonna preach how to live
Ya gotta live what ya preach every day

Don't sell yr soul honey
Don't give it all away
Crash a plane
Go insane
Burn the palace down
Roll the dice
Bet yr life
I'll be comin' round

I'll kick you like a horse now honey
I'll bite ya like a dog
I'll kiss ya black & blue now sugar
I won't ever stop

Girl we gotta shake some action
Girl we gotta shake some action
We gotta get right down to the real nitty gritty
Get right down to the real nitty gritty

Get down

Girl we gotta shake some action

Suicide Sally and Johnny Guitar
She overdosed and crashed in her car
amphetamine jab, shot a hole in his head
ran out of veins, ran out of friends

Alright, Alright
Oh Baby baby you're doing alright.
Alright, Alright
Oh Baby baby you're doing alright.

Gearhead candy is a natural queen
Bed motorcycle, you know what I mean
She got her wings, givin' head to a priest
The Fucker choked on his rosary beads

Alright, Alright
Oh Baby baby youre doing alright.
Alright, Alright
Oh Baby baby youre doing alright.

Stone cold Sally is a stubbled whore
Her face is plastic, so is her soul
She hates her body she is a he
Striptease and Pre-teased, feelin diseased

Alright, Alright
Oh Baby baby you're doing alright.
Alright, Alright
Oh Baby baby you're doing alright.

Hey rocknroll doctor rocknroll nurse
Gimme a shot gimme some pills
I dont need a knife I dont need a gun
I gotta crown made of human skull

Alright, Alright
Oh Baby baby you're doing alright.
Alright, Alright
Oh Baby baby you're doing alright.
Alright, Alright
Oh Baby baby you're doing alright.

We've had a lot of good times brother
I've knows you all my life
Mixing blood and drugs and women
In your journey to the endless night

I've watched you kill the love you're given
You sold your vision for a glimpse of heaven

Once you were a thief of fire
Now you're just a junkie liar
What you gonna cop
When the bomb drops?

There's been a million people brother
Just like you before
Think you're beyond good and eveil
You can't even find the door

Painting pictures on your wall
In junkie blood
Hey man! Ain't that cool?
It's so beautiful!

Once you were a thief of fire
Now you're just a junkie liar
What you gonna cop
When the bomb drops?

Ain't no medicine to cure you
Ain't no woman you can love
Only death can make you painless
Only death can make you come

Junkie Jesus on the cross
You beg for scraps like a mongrel dog

Once you were a thief of fire
Now you're just a junkie liar
What you gonna cop
When the bomb drops?

. . .


Little death
Witchy hex
Leave disturbance in my head
Cowboy mouth
Indian blood
Little death
The perfect curse

Little death
Thief of fire
Love you baby
'till the day I die
Cloven hoof
Thunderwing
Holy pony
Gonna ride the wind

Little death
Sly as junk
Strong as death
Sweet as love
Make me dance
Make me sing
Buy you a death's head
Diamond ring

. . .


Everywhere I go
Everyone I see
Say "what's the matter witcha boy,
Ya got a strange a disease?"
Oh I know
I got something wrong with me
There's a hole in my heart
Where my baby used to be

Birds in the sky
Dogs on the ground
Rats in the garbage
But my baby can't be found
I'm going insane
They say she left on the midnight train
There's a hole in the sky
Cluster bombs fall like hard rain

I went to see the doctor
Shot me full of junk
I'm on the edge of the 99th floor
Everybody say "jump!"
I got a hole, got a hole in my head

Death on the stairs
Plague at my door
Ghost in my bed
Cry "she don't love you anymore"
Oh mama please
You got the keys to the kingdom
I'm digging holes in my arm
I can't shoot my way to freedom

I went to see the doctor
Shot me full of junk
I'm on the edge of the 99th floor
Everybody say "jump!"
I got a hole, got a hole in my head

If you see my baby
Tell her I'm in flames
I beg her please for water
But no more gasoline
Awww jesus christ
I just can't take anymore

I got holes in my hands
Where she naild me to the floor
Dig me a hole in the groung
I'm gonna jump from the 99th floor

I went to see the doctor
Shot me full of junk
I'm on the edge of the 99th floor
Everybody say "jump!"
I got a hole, got a hole in my head

. . .


You're a demon child
You're a demon child
Crawl 1000 miles
To see your death's smile
You're a demon child

You're the one I want
You're the one I want
The atomic bomb
The golden dawn
You're the one I want

I'm the garbage man
I'm the garbage man
Sticky fingers in your trashcan
I'm the garbage man

Gonna dig your ditch
Gonna dig your ditch
You can be my witch
I'll be your exorcist
Gonna dig your ditch

Gotta hit the road
Gotta hit the road
Steal a mustang ford
Drive her coast to coast
Gotta hit her road

We're gonna boogie
We're gonna boogie
We're gonna boogie
All night long
All night long

Saw you walking down the street holding hands with some other guy,
Well a short skin suit, black patent leather boots, big brown round saucer eyes,
that's right!
I didn't talk to you then, you was kissing your friend,
Besides, it was the wrong time and place.
I went home, took a shower, met a lady, I got some flowers but shows ya hey I
knew we'd meet again.

So I searched all over town, dudes hanging around,
No one had ever seen a chick like you before.
I hit strip joints and museums, bars and clubs and - jesus -
I even prayed in a cathedral for your soul.
Then one rainy winter Tuesday
I saw you on the subway
You were heading for the tunnel near the door.
I pressed my face against the glass, you sped by me in a flash
Like a motorcycle crash you smoked my skull.

So once again, walking in the pouring rain
Wondering who and why and where and what you were.
I had hallucinatory dreams, shivers, sweats and screams,
Like an opium withdrawal, only worse.
Then on one hot summer night I took a motorcycle ride,
Saw you looking really evil, spitting fire from your eyes.
Like a rockabilly queen, 'bout to kick start your machine.
Like a fighter pilot flying off to war.
You had a tight black leather jacket, skull and crossbones on the back,
God bless the soul of sweet Gene Vincent, there you were!

Don't want your diamonds, don't want your gold,
I want your love, I want your soul,
Come on babe, let's have a good time!

. . .


Had me a woman, give me all her love
She gave me her blessing, I gave her my curse
I drove her crazy, I drove her crazy
Sent her insane, like a one-way train

In my lonely bed at night, wish that I could die
Hells comin down, Hells comin down

Made love in the morning, we got drunk at night
When she was sleepin, I stabbed her with a knife
I did decieve her, I was a midnight creeper
I robbed her blind, I drove her outta her mind

In my lonely bed at night, wish that I could die
Hells comin down, Hells comin down

. . .


You can be redeemed boys
You can be redeemed
Life is but a dream boy
You can be redeemed
Nothing's as it seems
You can be redeemed

Everything's permitted
Nothing's really true
Live outside the law boys
Doing what to do
Nothing's at it seems
You can be redeemed

Sometimes I feel so lonely

You can be redeemed boy
You can be redeemed
Life is but a dream boys
You can be redeemed
Nothing's as it seems
You can be redeemed

Sometimes I feel so lonely
