Diamond Dogs
As they pulled you out of the oxygen tent
You asked for the latest party
With your silicone hump and your ten inchy stump
Dressed like a priest you was,
Todd browning beast you was
Crawling down the alley on your hands and knees
I’m sure you’re not protected
For its 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 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 a death in the fog
Young girl they call them the diamond dogs
Young girl they call them the diamond dogs
Now Halloween jack is a real cool cat
And he lives on top of Manhattan chase
The elevators broke so he slides down a rope
Onto the street below
Oh tarzie go man, go
Meets 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 sable-ized
Will they come?
I keep a friend serene
Will they come?
Oh, baby, come unto me
Will they come?
Well, she’s come, been, and gone
In the year of the scavenger
The season of the bitch
Sashay on the board-walk scurry to the ditch
Just another future song lonely little kitch
There’s gonna be sorrow try
And wake up tomorrow
Will they come?
I keep a friend serene
Will they come?
Oh, baby, come unto me
Will they come?
Well, she’s come, been, and gone
In the year of the scavenger
The season of the bitch
Sashay on the board-walk scurry to the ditch
Just another future song lonely little kitch
There’s gonna be sorrow try
And wake up tomorrow
Khanada
Didn’t no one tell you
Money is the game?
You’re playing so hard to get now
I don’t even know your name
Don’t play with me, I’ve nothing to lose
(Khanada, I’ll get by)
No ones day, it’s coming too soon
(Khanada, I’ll get by)
I don’t believe in dragons or blues
(Khanada, I’ll get by)
I don’t believe in nobody’s rules
(Khanada, I’ll get by)
Heavy as the rain falls
I might go outside
Just because you’re with me
Doesn’t mean you’re not the same
Don’t play with me, I’ve nothing to lose
(Khanada, I’ll get by)
No ones day, it’s coming too soon
(Khanada, I’ll get by)
I don’t believe in dragons or blues
(Khanada, I’ll get by)
I don’t believe in nobody’s rules
(Khanada, I’ll get by)
Falling Angel
From this cloud where I hang dangle in the blue
I spy you all tiny creatures on the ground below
For my being reckless got me strung up in the sky
But love is flawed now see the lowliest cry
Cut my cord now better then better off to die
Here am I your falling angel dangle in the blue
I’m your angel and I wish that I could be like you
It’s my time all I have for my crime is such
Knowing that the thing I love is that which I can’t touch
So I watch your fragile beauty changing in the sun
Love is flawed now see the lowliest cry
Cut my cord now better then better off to die
Well here am I your falling angel dangle in the blue
I’m your angel how I wish that I could be with you
Falling angel dangle in the blue
I’m your angel and I wish that I could be like you
I believe in you I don’t believe it all but I believe in you
I don’t believe it all but I believe in you
I don’t believe it all but I believe in you
I don’t believe it all
Fame
Fame, makes a man take things over
Fame, let’s him loose, hard to swallow
Fame, puts you there, where things are hollow
Fame
Fame, hurts your brain, just a flame
A funny tin to dip you inside
Fame
Fame, what you like is in the limo
Fame, what you get is no tomorrow
Fame, what you need you have to borrow
Fame
Fame, the dirty swine, its just his line
He’s only trying to drive you to crime
Fame
Is it any wonder
I’ll reject you first
Is it any wonder
You’re too cool to prove
Fame
A ticket for you, a ticket for me
I’ve gotta get to witchitta
Fame
Fame (repeat)
What’s your name?
What a game
What a shame what a shame
Faster Than Light
Why I see your face
Moving in the aerospace
White light shining, you’re all alone
Scare of flying, ’cause here we come
White light, homing in
The speed of light, moving in
Faster than light, faster than light, faster than light
Faster than light, faster than light, faster than light
You see ways by the door
Pulling over years before
White light shining bright, you’re all alone
Scare of flying, ’cause here we come
White light, homing in
The speed of light, moving in
Faster than light, faster than light, faster than light
Faster than light, faster than light, faster than light
Light, light, light, light, light, light, light, light, light, light, light, light, light, light, light
White light, homing in
The speed of light, moving in
Faster than light, faster than light, faster than light
Faster than light, faster than light, faster than light
God (London)
God created the world,
Then created the devil to blame for his mistakes
I closed the door of my hotel room behind me,
It was like closing a chapter in the book of life.
Outside, thirty floors below, I could hear the police
Using their sirens like wolf whistles to pick up young girls.
On TV, Oliver North (his fifteen minutes of fame ticking steadily away)
Was being fuzzy about crucial events which had happened a year earlier
What a flake… but then who isn’t?
That was Reagan’s defence at least.
The worst thing is how politics begin to leak into your life.
Back in our innocence we used to simply stick two fingers up and say “fuck the Queen”
That was about all you had to say anyway,
And then go back to the more important business of making music.
So why was I sitting there feeling angry about
Covert operations and illegal aid to the Contras?
I mean I’m not even American (may be we all are a little bit).
And then I realised it was just the thought that in this particular democracy
And probably every other one in the world, there is somebody in power
Who thinks he is more right than all the people who put him there.
All the people who for once in their lives took an interest.
Outside, the wind was howling the “who who’s” from “Sympathy For The Devil”
Round and round the concrete hotel walls and corners.
That was then, this is…!
I Believe-All I Need To Know
The taxman’s in the pocketbook
The pressmen are by the bar
And all the world is at your door
It’s strange that you should lock it up
And preach an open heart
But you know what they’re waiting for
You can turn your face away now
And don’t think twice
I’m just the ordinary guy you used to know
I’m not after your money
Or even your advice
I believe you’ll follow me
It’s all I need to know
(to walk away)
I was tempted by the devil in this deep blue swimming pool
Until the devils makeup ran..
And my future’s in the strangle hold of ever changing rules
I don’t intend to understand
You can stop pretending now that I had you fooled
I’m still the ordinary guy you used to know
I’m not after your money
To paralyze my soul
I believe you’ll follow me
It’s all I need to know
Promise me you’ll try to understand before I go
(and walk away)
You can turn your face away now
And don’t think twice
I’m just the ordinary guy you used to know
I’m not after your money
Or even your advice
I believe you’ll follow me
It’s all I need to know
Promise me you’ll try to understand before I go
All I need to, all I need to, all I need to know
All I need to, all I need to, all I need to know
All I need to, all I need to, all I need to know
All I need to, all I need to, all I need to know
All I need to, all I need to, all I need to know
All I need to, all I need to, all I need to know
All I need to, all I need to, all I need to know
Late Bar
There’s a hole in the wall next to you
Things with legs are crawling through
The man is searching for the door and you run
You’re coming out, you’re going down
There’s an all night party in room 7609
(La la la late bar, la la la la la la la late)
You can dance together all night, if you’ve got the time
(La la la late bar, la la la la la la la late)
The bodies move like flies on the wall
You want to run but there’s no space at all
The dancers spinning in the mirror ball
You’re coming out, you’re going ’round
There’s an all night party in room 7609
(La la la late bar, la la la la la la la late)
You can dance together all night, if you’ve got the time
(La la la late bar, la la la la la la la late)
Just come to the late bar
Come, so fast
Drink, just do your moves…
Listen what they say…
I know what I’m talking about
I know what I’m doing, ah
There’s an all night party in room 7609
(La la la late bar, la la la la la la la late)
You can dance together all night, if you’ve got the time
(La la la late bar, la la la la la la la late)
Like An Angel
Things that you used to say
Now take on different meanings you realize
Can’t be too careful about the lines
Come on you know you’re not so young
You cannot hide behind disguise
Listen to your own desire
Eyes like an angel
So wise, don’t lie
You never feel like this again
Fly like an angel
So high this time
You send my senses streaming free
Places you used to go
When you were young look different in the dark
Don’t you worry it’s OK
And maybe I can help you find your way
Tonight I think you will agree
Summer reason’s run away
Eyes like an angel
So wise, don’t lie
You never feel like this again
Fly like an angel
So high this time
You send my senses streaming free
Oh, I hear your heart beating even faster now than mine
Now you know just what I mean
So take your place among those twilight gleaming rivers that you read
Give me reasons to believe
Eyes like an angel
So wise don’t lie
You never feel like this again
Fly like an angel
So high this time
You send my senses streaming free
Like an angel
Like an angel
Make Me Smile (Come Up and See Me)
You’ve done it all, you’ve broken every code
And pulled the rebel to the floor
You spoilt the game, no matter what you say
For only metal – what a bore!
Blue eyes, blue eyes; how can you tell so many lies?
Come up and see me, make me smile
Or do what you want, runnin’ wild
There’s nothing left, all gone and run away
Maybe you’ll tarry for a while
It’s just a test, a game for us to play
Win or lose, it’s hard to smile
Resist, resist; it’s from yourself you have to hide
Come up and see me, make me smile
Or do what you want, runnin’ wild
There ain’t no more, you’ve taken everything
From my belief in Mother Earth
How can you ignore my faith in everything
Cause’ I know what faith is, what it’s worth
Away, away, and don’t say maybe you’ll try
Come up and see me, make me smile
Or do what you want, runnin’ wild
Secret Oktober
Wise on a birthday party
In a world full of surprising fireworks
And sudden silence
Shh
Lies on a stranger’s bed
The new day breaks like a speeding train or an old friend
Never expected, but never knocking
Holding your own in a battered car
All-night parties, cocktail bars and smile
When the butterfly escapes the killing jar
Sure eyes awake before the dancing is over
Wise or naked in secret Oktober
Free fall on a windy morning shore
Nothing but a fading track of footsteps
Could prove that you’d ever been there
Spoken on a cotton cloud
Like the sound of gunshot taken by the wind
And lost in distant thunder
Racing on a shining plain
And tomorrow, you’ll be content to watch
As the lightning plays along the wires and you’ll wonder
Sure eyes awake before the dancing is over
Wise or naked in secret Oktober
Sure eyes awake before the dancing is over
Wise or naked in secret Oktober
Stop Dead
Stop!
Stop!
Stop dead!
Stop (stop, stop, stop, stop, stop)!
I pulled up at a west end junction (Seeker of attention)
A full body kit and bass bins pumping (Size up competition)
Come on red light, get into green
I hit the brake, I must be dreaming
I’m stop! (stop), dead! (dead)
In my tracks (in my tracks)
Got to fix on you
Don’t wanna lose you from my sight
Where you going to?
Gotta know now
Stop! (stop), dead! (dead)
In my tracks (in my tracks)
Got to fix on you
Don’t wanna lose you from my sight
Where you going to?
Oh-oh-oh
I’ve got my eyes on the action
(Killer reputation)
Heat crazed in full satisfaction
(We’re goin’ one phase up)
Do what you do and do it to me
Body in motion, now you see me
Stop! (stop), dead! (dead)
In my tracks (in my tracks)
Got to fix on you
Don’t wanna lose you from my sight
Where you going to?
Gotta know know
Stop! (stop), dead! (dead)
In my tracks (in my tracks)
Got to fix on you
Don’t wanna lose you from my sight
Where you going to?
Gotta know know… Stop!
Come on now. Come on now
Come on now. Come on now
Wise up to remain young victim
(Come on, ways of attraction)
A full scale attack on the system
(Come on, no one visor?)
Do what you do and do it to me
I’m into red line territory
And I’m
Stop! (stop), dead! (dead)
In my tracks (in my tracks)
Got to fix on you
Don’t wanna lose you from my sight
Where you going to?
Gotta know know
Stop! (stop), dead! (dead)
In my tracks (in my tracks)
Got to fix on you
Don’t wanna lose you from my sight
Where you going to?
Stop!
Dead in my tracks
Again
I’m stop dead in my tracks
Stop!
In my tracks
Yeah
I’m stop dead in my tracks
(Oh-oh) Gotta know now
Stop! (stop), dead! (dead)
In my tracks (in my tracks)
Stop! (stop), dead! (dead)
In my tracks (in my tracks)
Stop! (stop), dead! (dead)
Chicano mama
She got your hombre
Stop! (stop), dead! (dead)
In my tracks (in my tracks)
Your Latin mama
Check out your hombre
Stop! (stop), dead! (dead)
In my tracks (in my tracks)
Stop! (stop), dead! (dead)
In my tracks (in my tracks)
Stop! (stop), dead! (dead)
In my tracks (in my tracks)
Silent Icy River
Following the love we receive
Holding on to what you believe
Following the life we receive
Holding on to what you believe
Following the love we receive
Holding on to what you believe
Following the life we receive
Holding on to what you believe
Time is a ribbon, a silent icy river, fools us all
Running deep, deep and fast enough
To get lost down in the flow thrashing around me
These tiny lives mean everything
Following the love we receive
Holding on to what you believe
Following the life we receive
Holding on to what you believe
This Is How A Road Gets Made
This is how a road gets made
Somebody walked on a virgin land
Someone else saw their tracks
And followed them, leaving a path
It seemed as though
I were looking down the hill when I first saw it
But as I walked on, I realized I was going up
Somebody whistled behind
And turning round, they seemed far below
Then I came to where there
Had been a fire and was shaded
From the sun by the trees
Figure of eight, it’s our year, it always was
Credentials
Made of earth
Drinks water
Breathes air
Makes fire
Time For Temptation
Time for temptation, what you see is there for you
Time for temptation, no damnation for what you do
Why you chasing a lost religion of guilty feelings
that belong in yesterday?
Spy the preachers a politician,
he carries the cross like a gun- whip you into shape
Here’s the rub, now, no secret hours locked in the backroom
if you come together right
Check your vision and push it out there
you make the question, define what it’s all about
Time for temptation, what you see is there for you
Time for temptation, no damnation for what you do
(Oh) Oh
With chains or heaven across your shoulder
A slave for promotion to the afterlife
The boss gets fat while you just get older,
here comes a mission – set to put you right
Time for temptation, what you see is there for you
Time for temptation, no damnation for what you do
Time for temptation, what you see is there for you
Time for temptation, no damnation for what you do
Time for temptation, what you see is there for you
Time for temptation, no damnation for what you do – oh
Time for temptation, what you see is there for you
Time for temptation, no damnation for what you do – oh
Time for temptation, what you see is there for you
Time for temptation, no damnation for what you do
A View To A Kill
Meeting you with a view to a kill
Face to face in secret places, feel the chill
Nightfall covers me, but you know the plans I’m making
Still overseas, could it be the whole Earth opening wide
A sacred why, a mystery gaping inside
A week is why, until we
Dance into the fire
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire
To fatal sounds of broken dreams
Dance into the fire
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire
The choice for you is the view to a kill
Between the shades assassination standing still
The first crystal tears fall as snowflakes on your body
First time in years to drench your skin in lover’s rosy stain
A chance to find the phoenix for the flame
A chance to die, but can we
Dance into the fire
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire
To fatal sounds of broken dreams
Dance into the fire
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire
When all we see is the view to a kill
We Need You
Time will see we’re not searching for a wild excuse
To put emotions back on hold
Too much has gone down we know what you’re doing
But do you feel the same way
You look sharp inside your pointed shoes
I have this picture hanging in my room
And I refuse to take you down or shake you down
We could bring you gently round if that’s what you choose
For a point of view cause words like sand just get blown away
All those things we’d like to say
We need you [Repeat ad lib and end]
The Wild Boys
Wild boys, wild boys, wild boys
Wild boys
Wild! Boys!
The wild boys are calling
On their way back from the fire
In august moon’s surrender to
A dust cloud on the rise
Wild boys fallen far from glory
Reckless and so hungered
On the razors edge you trail
Because there’s murder by the roadside
In a sore afraid new world
They tried to break us
Looks like they’ll try again
Wild boys never lose it
Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes
Wild boys always shine
You got sirens for a welcome
There’s bloodstain for your pain
And your telephone been ringing while
You’re dancing in the rain
Wild boys wonder where is glory
Where is all you angels
Now the figureheads have fell
And lovers war with arrows over
Secrets they could tell
They tried to tame you
Looks like they’ll try again
Wild boys never lose it
Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes
Wild boys always shine
Wild boys, wild boys, wild boys
Wild boys, wild boys, wild boys
Wild boys never lose it
Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes
Wild boys always
Wild boys never lose it
Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes
Wild boys always
Wild boys never lose it
Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes
Wild boys always, wild boys
