Kiss me out of the bearded barley Nightly, beside the green, green grass Swing, swing, swing the spinning step You wear those shoes and I will wear that dress Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight Lead me out on the moonlit floor Lift your open hand Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance Silver moon's sparkling So kiss me Kiss me down by the broken tree house Swing me upon its hanging tire Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat We'll take the trail marked on your father's map Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight Lead me out on the moonlit floor Lift your open hand Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance Silver moon's sparkling So kiss me Kiss me beneath the milky twilight Lead me out on the moonlit floor Lift your open hand Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance Silver moon's sparkling So kiss me So kiss me So kiss me So kiss me...

This ain't rock'n'roll. This is genocide! As they pulled you out of the oxygen tent You asked for the latest party With your silicone hump and your ten inch stump Dressed like a priest you was Tod Browning's freak you was Crawling down the alley on your hands and knee I'm sure you're not protected, for it's plain to see The diamond dogs are poachers and they hide behind trees Hunt you to the ground they will, mannequins with kill appeal (Will they come?) I'll keep a friend serene (Will they come?) Oh baby, come unto me (Will they come?) Well, she's come, been and gone. Come out of the garden, baby You'll catch your death in the fog Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs The Halloween Jack is a real cool cat And he lives on top of Manhattan Chase The elevator's broke, so he slides down a rope Onto the street below, oh Tarzie, go man go Meet his little hussy with his ghost town approach Her face is sans feature, but she wears a Dali brooch Sweetly reminiscent, something mother used to bake Wrecked up and paralyzed, Diamond Dogs are sableized (Will they come?) I'll keep a friend serene (Will they come?) Oh baby, come unto me (Will they come?) Well, she's come, been and gone. Come out of the garden, baby You'll catch your death in the fog Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs Oo-oo-ooh, call them the Diamond Dogs Oo-oo-ooh, call them the Diamond Dogs In the year of the scavenger, the season of the bitch Sashay on the boardwalk, soiree to the ditch Just another future song, knowin' it'll never kitch (There's gonna be sorrow) try and wake up tomorrow (Will they come?) I'll keep a friend serene (Will they come?) Oh baby, come unto me (Will they come?) Well, she's come, been and gone. Come out of the garden, baby You'll catch your death in the fog Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs Oo-oo-ooh, call them the Diamond Dogs Oo-oo-ooh, call them the Diamond Dogs Bow-wow, woof woof, bow-wow, wow Call them the Diamond Dogs Dogs Call them the Diamond Dogs, call them, call them Call them the Diamond Dogs, call them, call them, ooo Call them the Diamond Dogs Keep cool Diamond Dogs rule, OK Hey-hey-hey-hey Beware of the Diamond Dogs Beware of the Diamond Dogs Beware of the Diamond Dogs Beware of the Diamond Dogs Beware of the Diamond Dogs

Rosemary, Heaven restores you in life You're coming with me Through the aging, the fearing, the strife It's the smiling on the package It's the faces in the sand It's the thought that moves you upwards Embracing me with two hands Right will take you places Yeah maybe to the beach When your friends they do come crying Tell them now your pleasure's set upon slow release Hey wait Great Smile Sensitive to fate, not denial But hey, who's on trial? It took a life span with no cellmate The long way back Sandy, why can't we look the other way? We speaks about travel Yeah we think about the land We smart like all peoples Feeling real tan I could take you places Do you need a new man? Wipe the pollen from the faces Make revision to a dream while you wait in the van Hey wait Great Smile Sensitive to fate, not denial But hey, who's on trial? It took a life span with no cellmate To find the long way back Saying meanwhile can't we look the other way? You're weightless; you are exotic You need something for which to care Sandy, why can't we look the other way? Leave some shards under the belly Lay some grease inside my hand It's a sentimental jury And the makings of a good plan You've come to love me lightly Yeah you come to hold me tight Is this motion ever lasting Or do shudders pass in the night? Rosemary, Heaven restores you in life I spent a life span with no cellmate The long way back Sandy, why can't we look the other way? You're weightless, semi-erotic You need someone to take you there Sandy, why can't we look the other way? Why can't we just play the other game? Why can't we just look the other way?

The happiest day I ever knew In a sea of gold down next to you So blurred and tired under summer sun You whispered dreams of a world to come... We were so in love In this sea of gold so young and tired Under summer sun hard by your side Whispering dreams down next to you... We were so in love The happiest day Yeah the happiest day I knew But summer sun sea of gold This perfect day oh so long ago Whispering dreams so blurred and tired We have to keep this day alive Whispered dreams so young and tired It's hard to hold this day inside And the happiest night I ever had Up next to you in silver sand So scared and high under winter moon You whispered dreams that would all come true... We were so in love Up next to you so fucked and high Under winter moon it made me cry Whispering dreams on silver sand... We were so in love The happiest night Yeah the happiest night I had But winter moon and silver sand This perfect night in another land Whispering dreams so scared and high We have to keep this night alive Whispered dreams so fucked and high It's hard to hold this night inside Yeah and every summer's sun I want again And every winter's moon I want the same My happiest day and my happiest night Always next to you... And held deep inside... Keeps me alive

Now this is somethin' from back in the day I'll always remember Run DMC And all the good times That we had on the beach Stealing sips from a paper cup And making out in the sand Maybe I'm dreaming Can you tell me Chorus Do you remember The summers that lasted so long June til September Was our time to sing all the songs Do you remember All of us together As we grew up under the sun I'll always remember everything we do Rock of the eighties blastin' KROQ I remember Culture Club The Clash, and Men Without Hats Seems kind of funny right now But it's taking me back We'd always sing along And laugh out loud at ourselves Don't want to stop dreaming Can you tell me Chorus Do you remember The summers that lasted so long June til September Was our time to sing all the songs Do you remember All of us together As we grew up under the sun I want to rewind every time 'Cause the words have so much meaning They were there when nobody cared Always knew what I was feeling Stay tonight don't leave me reminiscing All I do is wind up missing you And you missing Are you missing me na na na na na na na na na na na na

Have you ever stopped to think about what rats do for run? Sure they crawl around and scurry, yeah they're always on the run but a rat sure likes a good time just like you and me I'll prove it with a tale about a rat-infested brewery It started with a little lad named vermin McCann who fell upon a drink that made him feel like quite a man he rounded up his furry boys, though some wore a frown they quickly changed their tune and they slammed a couple down. Chorus: One, two, one-two-three-four! Come on all you good rats we'll send you to heaven you'll find the pearly gates in the froth and the foam 'cause in these vats you've made quite a creation a potion that turned the Guinness to gold! Like mice behind a piper, rats from all around soon headed for this factory in old Dublin Town. They surely heard the news about this fancy new rat-brew they come, they saw, they had a taste and knocked back a few The rats were in a tizzy addicted to the bone the hairy lugs were giddy they were never going home like a bunch of drunken pirates prepared to walk the plank they drank, they sang, they took a plunge and in the beer they sank!

I am thinking it's a sign that the freckles in our eyes are mirror images and when we kiss they're perfectly aligned And I have to speculate that God himself did make us into corresponding shapes like puzzle pieces from the clay true, it may seem like a stretch but its thoughts like this that catch my troubled head when you're away when I am missing you to death when you are out there on the road for several weeks of shows and when you scan the radio I hope this song will guide you home they will see us waving from such great heights, "come down now", they'll say but everything looks perfect from far away, "come down now", but we'll stay... I tried my best to leave this all on your machine but the persistent beat sounded thin upon listening and that frankly will not fly you will hear the shrillest highs and lowest lows with the windows down when this is guiding you home they will see us waving from such great heights, "come down now", they'll say but everything looks perfect from far away "come down now", but we'll stay..

Why was I born today Life is useless like Ecclesiastes say I never had a chance But opportunity's now in my hands I stand with my guitar All I need's a mirror Then I'm a star I'm so sick of dud TV Next time you switch on You might see me...oh.what a thrill for you I've been there and gone there I've lived there and bummed there I've spinned there, I gave there I drank there and I slaved there I've had enough of the way things been done Every man on a razors edge Someone has used us to kill with the same gun Killing each other by driving a wedge My life's a mess I wait for you to pass I stand here at the bar, I hold an empty glass Why was I born today Life is useless like Ecclesiastes say I didn't get a chance Opportunity's in my hand I stand with my guitar All I need's a mirror Then I'm a star I'm so sick of dud TV Next time you switch on You might see me... I've been there and gone there I've lived there and bummed there I've spinned there, I gave there I drank there and I slaved there I've had enough of the way things have been done Every man on a razors edge Someone has used us to shoot with the same gun We where killing each other by driving a wedge My life's a mess I wait for you to pass I stand here at the bar, I hold an empty glass Don't worry smile and dance You just can work life out Don't let down moods entrance you Take the wine and shout My life's a mess I wait for you to pass I stand here at the bar, I hold an empty glass

If you only once would let me Only just one time Then be happy with the consequence With whatever's gonna happen tonight Don't think we're not serious When's it ever not The love we make is give and it's take I'm game to play along All I can say I shouldn't say Can we take a ride? Get outta this place While we still have time? oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh All the best DJs are saving The slowest song for last When the dance is through It's me and you Come on would it really be so bad The things we think might be the same But I won't fight for more It's just not me to wear it on my sleeve Count on that for sure All I can say I shouldn't say Can we take a ride? Get outta this place While we still have time? Wanna take a ride? Get out of this place While we still have time? Yeah - We still have time oh oh, oh oh (ohhhhhhhh) oh oh, oh oh (ohhhhhhhh) oh oh, oh oh (ohhhhhhhh) oh oh, oh oh (ohhhhhhhh) Can't say I was never wrong But some blame rests on you Work and play they're never okay To mix the way we do All I can say I shouldn't say Can we take a ride? Get outta this place While we still have time? Wanna take a ride? Get out of this place While we still have time? We still have time oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh

There's a solitary man crying, "Hold me." It's only because he's a-lonely If the keeper of time runs slowly He won't be alive for long! If he only had time to tell of all of the things he planned With a card up his sleeve, what would he achieve? It means nothing! From the opium den and the barroom gin And the Belmont chair playing violins The gambler's face cracks into a grin As he lays down the king of spades But the dealer just stares There's something wrong here, he thinks The gambler is seized and forced to his knees And shot dead He only wanted more time Away from the darkest door But his luck it gave in As the dawn light crept in And he lay on the floor From the Hundred Year War to the Crimea With the lance and the musket and the Roman spear To all of the men who have stood with no fear In the service of the King Before you met your fate be sure you Did not forsake your lover May not be around anymore (Slower) There's a solitary man crying, "Hold me." It's only because he's a-lonely If the keeper of time runs slowly He won't be alive for long

Merry Christmas, merry merry merry Christmas All the children are tucked in their beds Sugar-plum fairies dancing in their heads Snowball fighting, it's so exciting baby I love you and you love me And that's the way it's got to be I loved you from the start 'Cause Christmas ain't the time for breaking each other's heart

The handshake Seals the contract From the contract There's no turning back The turning point Of a career In Korea, being insincere The holiday Was fun packed The contract Still intact The grabbing hands Grab all they can All for themselves After all It's a competitive world Everything counts in large amounts The graph On the wall Tells the story Of it all Picture it now See just how The lies and deceit Gained a little more power Confidence Taken in By a sun tan And a grin The grabbing hands Grab all they can All for themselves After all It's a competitive world Everything counts in large amounts The grabbing hands Grab all they can Everything counts in large amounts

Hey Hey Hey When you look you see right through me Cut the rope, I fell to my knees born and broken every single time Always keep me under finger That's the spot where you run to me might see some type of pleasure in my mind Yeah, here comes the water It comes to wash away the sins of you and I This time you will see Hey hey hey When you seek me you'll destroy me Rape my mind and smell the poppies born and bloodied every single time Always keep me under finger That's the spot where you might linger might see some type the pleasure in my mind Yeah, here comes the water It comes to wash away the sins of you and I This time you will see Like holy water It only burns you faster than you'll ever dry This time with me [guitar solo] When you look you see right through me Cut the rope, I fell to my knees Fallen and broken Every single time Yeah, here comes the water It comes to wash away the sins of you and I This time you will see Like holy water It only burns you faster than you'll ever dry This time with me Hey, hey, hey

Words like violence Break the silence Come crashing in Into my little world Painful to me Pierce right through me Can't you understand Oh my little girl All I ever wanted All I ever needed Is here in my arms Words are very unnecessary They can only do harm Vows are spoken To be broken Feelings are intense Words are trivial Pleasures remain So does the pain Words are meaningless And forgettable All I ever wanted All I ever needed Is here in my arms Words are very unnecessary They can only do harm Enjoy the silence

I've lost all the time that I have in this world I spent it unwisely, unwisely you see And I can't get it back and I can't move forward I'm broken and I'm empty, it's over for me If I could undo all the wrongs that I've caused Fall to my knees, pray for swiftness and just For I'm just a fool, a fool driven to dust And the world ain't gonna change for me So give me one more chance to prove these problems and frustrations Aren't just manifest in memories we're destined to repeat A second chance to prove I know right from wrong I swear I'll do things different but can't promise to be strong If you could look into this old face and try to see the young man I swear I once was pretty, not the monster you now see But I squandered all my chances, lost my faith and took for granted This life and precious one chance, the whirlwind I'll wreak CHORUS: So come on all you losers, you bastards and cheats Vagrants and barflies down on the street Follow this path to salvation, vindication awaits We're marching on East Broadway street tonight

Down where this ugly man Seeks his sustenance Down in the blue, midnight flare A glass hand cuts through the water Scything into his twisted roots Then from his eyes Spring fireflies Breathing life Into a roaring disguise Needles and sins, sins and needles He's gasping for air In the wishing well Dust to rust, ashes on gashes Hand around the killing jar Hand around the killing jar A soft hoodwink of shadows The size of make-believe Punching through his spike of rage A glass hand cuts through the water Snuffing out the magic fury Then from inside Bolt lightning cries Swiftly crushed The final, muffled sighs Needles and sins, sins and needles He's gasping for air In the wishing well Dust to rust, ashes on gashes Hand around the killing jar Hand around the killing jar
