My new
purple shoes
Been amazin' the people next door
And my rock and roll 45s
Been enraging the folks on my lower floor
I got away with the girls on my block
Try my best, be a real individual
And when we go down to Smokey's Head Rock,
they line up like it's some kind of ritual
Ooh, give me a good guitar,
and you can say that my
hair's a disgrace
Oh, just find me an open car
I'll make the speed of light out of this place
Mmm, I like the good things in life
But most of the best things
ain't free
It's the same situation,
just cuts like a knife
When you're young, and you're poor,
and you're crazy
Ooh, give me a good guitar
And you can say that my
hair's a disgrace
Oh, just buy me an open car
I'll make the speed of light out of this place
Dislo cate your spine if you don't sign
He says, I'll have you seen in double
Mesmerize you when
he's tongue -tied
Simply with those eyes
Synchronize your minds and see
The beast within your eyes
Don't look back, don't look back
It's a rip -off
And you're dead, baby,
and you're mad
He'll eat your heart out,
and then a kick in the head
He's taking an arm and taking
a leg
Baby, you've been had
Intoxicate your brain with what I'm saying
If not, you'll lie knee -deep
in trouble
Prostitute your self -esteem
Castrate your human pride
Sacrifice your leisure days,
let me squeeze you till you're dry
Don't look back, don't look back
It's a rip -off
Rock my fingers to my bones
I scream with pain
I still make no impression
Seduce you with this
money -make machine
Cross -collateralize
Reduce money
Reduce you to a music -fake machine
Then the last goodbye
And you're dead, baby
And you're mad
He'll eat your heart out,
and there's a kick in the head
He's taking out a leg, taking a leg
I missed the break
Baby, you've been had
I am forever searching high and low,
but why does everybody
tell me no?
Neptune of the seas,
answer for me please
Cause the lily of the valley
doesn't know
I lie in wait with open eyes
I carry on through stormy skies
I follow every course,
my kingdom for a horse
My age, time, I grow old
Serpent of the Nile, lead me for a while
And cast me from your spell,
let me go
Messenger from seven seas has flown
To tell the king of
rise lost his throne
Wars will never cease
Is the time enough for peace?
Cause the lily of the valley
doesn't bloom
You
