(E. John / Taupin)
It's getting late have you seen my mates
Ma tell me when the boys get here
It's seven o'clock and I want to rock
Want to get a belly full of beer
My old man's drunker than a barrel full of monkeys
And my old lady she don't care
My sister looks cute in her braces and boots
A handful of grease in her hair
Don't give us none of your aggravation
We had it with your discipline
Saturday night's alright for fighting
Get a little action in
Get about as oiled as a diesel train
Gonna set this dance alight
Cause Saturday night's the night I like
Saturday night's alright
Well they're packed pretty tight in here tonight
I'm looking for a dolly who'll see me right
I may use a little muscle to get what I need
I may sink a little drink and shout out: She's with me!
A couple of the sound that I really like
Are the sounds of a switchblade and a motorbike
I'm a juvenile product of the working class
Whose best friend floats in the bottom of a glass
ANIMAL (FUCK LIKE A BEAST)
(Lawless)
I got pictures of naked ladies
Lying on their beds
I whiff that smell and sweet convulsion
Starts a-swelling inside my head
I'm making artificial lovers for free
I start to howl I'm in heat
I moan and growl and the hunt drives me crazy
I fuck like a beast
I come around, I come feel your love
Like an animal
Tie you down, I come steal your love
Like an animal
I'm on the prowl and I watch you closely
I lie waiting for you
I'm the wolf with the sheepskins clothing
I lick my chops and your tasting good
I do whatever I want to ya
I'll nail your ass to the sheets
A pelvic thrust and the sweat starts to sting ya
I fuck like a beast
Come ride, savage seduction
Ride, ride, ride
I WANNA BE SOMEBODY
(Lawless)
You say you don't wanna run and hide
A face that no-one knows
And everyone ya meet, you're gonna show
You're nobody's slave, nobody's chains are holding you
You hold your fist up high
And rule the zoo
Oh, you just got to be
Up high where the whole world's watchin me
Cause I got the guts to be somebody... to cry out
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody soon
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody too
You say you don't wanna starve
Or take the table crumbs that fall
You don't wanna beg or plead at all
You don't want no nine to five
Your fingers to the bone
You don't want the rock piles' bloody stones
I want shiny cars and dirty money
Lots a Rock and Roll
I will live in fame and die in flames
I'm never getting old
L.O.V.E. MACHINE
(Lawless)
Lady have you known me
The perfect love machine
I'm Virgo, My Leo's rising
Venus made me King
That trail of broken hearts
They all belong to me
Magic runs through my fingers
One touch you'll see
L.O.V.E
All I need's my love machine tonight
What can I do for you
Am I your wildest dream
What do I move in you
Am I what I seem
My eyes they lie and you cry
Love brings you pain
And if you try to love me
You'll not feel the same
ON YOUR KNEES
(Lawless)
Dancing with danger right until dawn
The sin that you buy and you sell
Mom and daddy said: The life that you've led
You'll party you're way straight to hell
On your knees
You shall be on your knees
Cause I want you on your knees
You shall be on your knees
And I need you on your knees
You shall be on your knees
Cause I want you on your knees
You shall be on your knees
Playing with fire, lust in you burns
Reflecting the flames in your eyes
Sex and pain insane, they're really the same
Misused and confused, bound and tied
On your knees that's where you all shall be
Well I bid you come taste your first deadly sin
Riding the wild wind and the door to submission
Will open and you shall fall in
SHOW NO MERCY
(Lawless)
I hear the mighty engines roar
And I unleash the savage dogs of war
Ooh, I'm the outlaw that rides
White anglo saxon, a violent reaction
Fire is my fuel, steel and iron rule
Ride on wasteland
A madman's badland
Ride on wasteland
And I will survive to show no mercy
I can feel the cycles as they turn
And I can smell the bodies as they burn
Ooh, the city's on fire
White anglo saxon, a violent reaction
Fire is my fuel, steel and iron rule
Pain and hunger all across then thunder
Life is for the biggest
It's survival of the fittest
BLIND IN TEXAS
(Lawless)
An El Paso hellhole, I couldn't get much higher
White lightning moonshine, tastes like fire
I drank for free till I couldn't see
I fell on the floor, what I said is
I'm blind in Texas, the lone star is hot tonight
I'm blind in Texas, the cowboys have taken my eyes
I drank Dallas whiskey and lost my mind
Had high-balls in Houston, three for a dime
Everything starts to spin, loaded on gin
I fell out the door, what I said is
I'm blind in Texas, the lone star is hot tonight
I'm blind in Texas, the cowboys have taken my eyes
San Antonio and the West Texas town El Paso
Corpus Christi and Waco, the Yellow Rose is wild
Hey dude, let's party
Raising hell in Austin just after sundown
When the hoosegow police decided to come around they said:
Boy what's the matter with you, what you trying to do?
I looked at the man and I said
I think I'll have another one of these
Your dreaming buddy
What!
Time to go home
It's time to what?
Go home!
Ah, but I don't wanna go home
How, I'm from California
What am I supposed to do
Get on a horse and ride
All the way back to L.A!
Yea, don't fall off
I don't understand
We ain't got no more
What do you mean you got no more liquor?
Split Goofball
To hell you say
Ha, ha, ha, ha suffer
I'm blind in Texas, the lone star is hot tonight
I'm blind in Texas, I'm blind
WILD CHILD
(Lawless / Holmes)
I ride the winds that bring the rain
A creature of love and I can't be tamed
I want you, cause I'm gonna take your love from him
And I'll touch your face and hot burning skin
No, he'll never ever touch you like I do
So look in my eyes and burn alive the truth
I'm a wild child, come and love me
I want you
My heart's in exile I need you to touch me
Cause I want what you do
I want you
Tell me the lies you're telling him when you
Run away cause I wanna know
Cause I'm sure it's killing him to find
That you run to me when he lets you go
Cause I'm burning, burning up with fire
So come turn me on and turn the flames up higher
A naked heat machine, I want your love
When the moons arise we'll feel just what it does
SEX DRIVE
(Lawless / Holmes)
I got a message for you
It's something you love to do
You're thinking bout it all the time
You're lying in bed
And it runs through your head
Cause you can't get it off your mind
You been thinking pink and you're losing sleep
That rush is almost all you can stand
You feel it getting hard
And your crotch starts to throb
It's body language you understand
I'm talking bout a sex drive
Ooh, it makes you feel so alive
Sex drive
Ooh, it's everything you fantasize
Sex drive
Come here and take what you need baby
Like a dog in heat
All dirty love is a treat
And ya know it's just too good to believe
That feeling second to none
You pull the trigger on your gun baby
Gotta get some relief
Your hands they tremble and sweat
And you want all you can get
A need to get close inside
Yeah you can take a licking
And keep on ticking
Cause you want to go on all night
9.5. N.A.S.T.Y.
(Lawless / Holmes)
One woman down my street is
Too hot for the average man
Hard to handle, a fire in her eyes
Wants the hot rocks right in her hand
I know she's burning, hot with love
A come on look and she ain't fooling
And she knows just what it does
She gave me a number to make me feel fine
Said call me up baby
It's gonna be 9.5. N.A.S.T.Y.
You're everything I need
Cause I want what you're giving
I'm yours to do with what you please
Ooh, no mama's baby this child
She's a killer wrapped in high heel shoes
Touch the skin it burns like fire
I don't even care if I'm being used
Threw me down and then she tore off my jeans
She said, come on baby, I mean business
I'm gonna show you what liberated means
Do it to me baby, I'm losing my mind
She said call me up honey tonight
I'm 9.5. N.A.S.T.Y.
You're everything I need
Cause I want what you're giving
I'm yours to do with what you please
Some bad habits, are hard to break
Like an earthquake coming
I gotta shake, shake, shake...
MEAN MAN
(Lawless)
A tatooed 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 kamakazi 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
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 greande
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
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
CHAINSAW CHARLIE
(MURDERS IN THE NEW MORGUE)
(Lawless)
They are poisoned snakes with double tongues
Horny hedgehogs who do their wrong
Deaf men and blind worms, they'll be not seen
They are pawns and rooks for a Crimson King
They are a government with a parliament of whores
Can you hear the screams from the fame machine
Down in Chainsaw Charlie's morgue?
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
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
Murders, murders in the new morgue
See old Charlie and the platinum armies
Making me their boy
Murders, murders in the new morgue
He'll make ya scream for the cash machine
Down in Chainsaw Charlie's morgue
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-strings and feed our machine
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
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
