TIME FOR BEDLAM

Descending the cold steps of the institution for the politically insane 

Never to be seen again 

Saying farewell to daylight 

From henceforth I shall rot in a stinking bed of wet straw 

Right from the ashes of life I learned to behave 

What to believe, what not to say, from cradle to grave 

Ah, like a good little slave 

Sucking my milk from the venomous tit of the state 

This clearly designed to suppress every thought of escape 

Ah, I surrender to fate 

No pity, no pity 

Don't want no pity for me in this filthy cell 

I'll see you in hell 

See you in hell 

Frozen in time, I'm a specimen pinned to my throne 

With an army of butterflies pilloried placid and prone 

Ah, we were never alone 

No pity, no pity 

Don't want no pity for me in this filthy cell 

I'll see you in hell 

After centuries of living with nothing but my convictions 

Broken fingers clawing through the walls of my incarceration 

Escaping the clutches of eternal damnation 

I was justified

HIP BOOTS

You can bury me up to my knees in shit 

Or anything else, I don't mind one bit 

You think I'm gonna drown but you're wrong 

'Cause man, I got my hip boots on 

Get your ass in the water and swim like me 

It's the only way you're going free 

If you blink an eye I'm down the road and gone 

It's plain to see that I don't belong 

I got my hip boots on 

And it's so cool 

It's beautiful 

Those rusty chains can't tie me down 

'Cause man, I got my hip boots on 

I never give it up 

Tear it up 

Rip it up 

I can't get enough 

Oh yeah 

Oh yeah 

Oh yeah 

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah 

Before that shit starts going down 

When I hear the dogs I go to ground 

That's me high steppin' through the swamp 

That's why I got these hip boots on 

I got my hip boots on 

And it's so cool 

It's beautiful 

And it's so cool

ALL I GOT IS YOU

Oh yeah, I see the way you roll your eyes, the way your purse your lips

Throw your stuff into a suitcase, put your hands upon your hips

I'm not moved by your evil glare, the way you toss your hair

You make stupid accusations by which time I've lost the thread

Sometimes I wonder how it is you get to piss me off this much

I may be heavier handed and I like the tender touch

You moan and groan about me staying out and drinking with the guys

I bet I bring them home, try this one for size

Something awfully wrong with this deal babe

Any fool could see it's true

Can't you understand how I feel, babe?

You got me, but all I got is you

I guess I just don't have it in me to keep you satisfied

To be honest with you babe, I'm only in it for the ride

And you may never bring yourself to take me as I am

But in case you hadn't noticed, I don't give a fucking damn!

ONE NIGHT IN VEGAS

Yeah

Ooh, what a night it was, the night I fell apart

I begged a lover not to go away but she went and broke my heart

I found myself in a Vegas bar with a whole new set of friends

Seen through the bottom of an empty glass

Like looking through a fisheye lens

One night in Vegas

It was a morning of revenge for what I did the night before

Which accompanied me to the following day to even up the score

In a stone cold sober mood next afternoon at ten

I found my tongue back in my mouth

I told myself not to drink again

One night in Vegas

I was three sheets to the wind

The three shots did me in

Three angels there above me

As I was lying on the floor

I knew I should have run for the hills

But I still wanted more

I don't remember the chapel but I woke up with a wife

I looked at her, she looked at me and now we're hooked for life

How strange the situation, it's now been thirty years

Since I met that girl in Vegas

Would you believe it, and she's still here

One night in Vegas, oh yeah

I gotta tell you, one night in Vegas

Hey, one night in Vegas

Oh yeah

GET ME OUTTA HERE

Well I'm out of work, out of hope

I got mouths to feed and I'm stony broke

The rum's all gone and I could sure use a smoke

I can't help thinking how it used to be

Everybody danced till a quarter to three

Living on the wild side, getting our kicks

How'd I ever end up in a place like this?

Oh, get me outta here

Somebody get me outta here

Three blind bastards parked on a bench

One said to the other, hey who's your friend?

That's how it started way back when

A shit-load of ways to communicate

One hates love, another loves hate

And now you're gonna tell me there's no end in sight

And next thing you know we're getting ready to fight

Oh yeah, get me outta here

Get me outta here

I got to tell you that I'm feeling rough

Been good to know you but I've had enough

You say pull yourself together and get a grip

You can stick it up your jacksie 'cause I'm jumping ship

Oh yeah, get me out of here

That's it away, oh yeah

Outta here

Adiós, muchachos

Au revoir

Outta here

Auf wiedersehen, my darling

Get me outta here

Auf wiedersehen, mama

See you, suckers

THE SURPRISING

It wasn't quite the curse of Tutankhamen

Or the kiss of death from Judas in the night

And it felt so far beyond the blue horizon

Tempting me with transports of delight

And then the devil took my hand and said

Come along with me

Oh, there I was, wide awake and dreaming

Reaching out for something in the sky

But I could not control that trembling feeling

Everything I want is slipping by

Oh, and the devil took my hand and said

Something you should see

Come along with me

I never knew what happened to my nightmare

Everything went dark that August day

And the eclipse was on the other side of somewhere

But I was on the upside of afraid

And then an angel took my hand and said

Come along with me (Come along with me)

JOHNNY'S BAND

Ooh, Johnny Jones woke up one day from dreaming

Told Bill the bass and soon they had a plan

He passed it on to Pete and Crazy Benny

Ah, suddenly they had a band

Hey Johnny's Band

He sure knew how to work up a crowd

The sound that they made put the rest in the shade

And the word soon got around

They played every dance hall in the city

Wrote themselves a cool forty-five

With a bullet it shot to the top of the pops

Oh man it was good to be alive

Hail Johnny's Band

Hear them on the radio

Smash after smash now they're rolling in the cash

Whatever they touch turns to gold

Poor old Benny went down with the hard stuff

And Pete joined a cult in LA

Johnny and Bill started going downhill

And the crowds began melting away

Yeah, but hey, it's Johnny's Band

Playing Saturday nights at The Crown

The beards may be long and the money's long gone

It's a wonder that they're still around

But hey, it's Johnny's Band

Playing all those wonderful songs

Making the rounds with that old fashioned sound

And here we are singing along

ON TOP OF THE WORLD

Hot summer night, the working girls were on their way back home

It was getting late so I tagged along, couldn't let them walk alone

I followed them up some greasy steps to a rooftop in the sky

No walls around, just a sea of stars, my throat was getting dry

Everyone could feel the heat that's why we all disrobed

Our clothes and inhibitions went off flying 'cross the globe

Dancing crazy, getting loose and closer to the edge

I could feel my blood was up and it was pounding in my head

So there I was, just me and the girls

Under the moonlight on top of the world

Oh yeah, on top of the world

So there I was, just me and the girls

Under the moonlight on top of the world

As things were dying down we retreated from the precipice

I lay beside the most beautiful girl in the universe

Her name was Venus in Heaven

She fed me rice and offered me wine

I accepted ambrosia and nectar

From an amber goddess

I collapsed between the thighs of Morpheus

Next thing I felt was a sharp pain at sunrise

My mouth was open and full of rice

As I managed to prize open one of my eyes

I saw Luigi the cockroach carry off his prize

And there lay Venus still sprawled out and naked for sure

But not quite what she was the night before

I made my excuses and left through the door

Stepped into space at the twentieth floor

And that's why I don't like heights no more

BIRDS OF PREY

Alarm bells ringing clear

Break the calm before the fall

Bad news travels at the speed of flight

Good news not at all

And here we are again

Playing endless games of war

Birds of prey

Without a word of warning

We dive in to attack

Vengeful and self-righteous

We turn the blue sky black

And a wretched few escape

They'll be forever looking back

At our sacrifice

And the golden sun is rising

At the dawn of a beautiful day

In the name of all that's holy

In the name of history

In the face of life and nature

We are driven by belief

Our faith a crumbling fortress

Once perfect and sublime

Will fail again and rise again

Until the death

Until the death of time

ROADHOUSE BLUES

Keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel

Hmm, keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel

Yeah, we're going to the roadhouse

We're gonna have a real good time, oh yeah

Back at the roadhouse, some bungalows

Well, back at the roadhouse they got some bungalows

And that's for the people

Who like to go down slow

Let it roll, baby, roll

Let it roll, baby, roll

Let it roll, baby, roll

Let it roll, yeah, all night long

Hey, Stevie!

What's up?

Oh, ashen lady, hmm, ashen lady

You gotta give up your vows, said you gotta give up your vows

You got to save our city

You got to save our city

Right now, baby, right now

I woke up this morning, I got myself a beer

I woke up this morning, I got myself a beer

The future's uncertain and the end is always near

Well, let it roll, baby, roll

Let it roll, baby, roll

Let it roll, baby, roll

All night long

Let it roll, roll, roll

Let it roll, baby, roll

You gotta eat your bone

Eat your bean

You got a gunky tune

You got a honky-tonk

You gotta linger on

Linger on a ling

You gotta ease back

You gotta ease back
