Renegade

He's just a boy that his lost his way
He's a rebel that has fallen down
He's a fool been blown away
To you and me he's a renegade

He's a clown that we put down
He's a man that doesn't fit
He's a king but not in this town
To you and me he's a renegade

But he is a king when he's on his own
He's got a bike and that's his throne
And when he rides he's like the wind
To you and me he's a renegade

He's just a boy who has lost his sights
He's a stranger, prowls the night
He's a devil, that's right
To you and me he's a renegade

Check it out, check his face
Look at his eyes, they're so sly
I wonder why he cries from the inside
I wonder why he's a renegade

Oh please, i'm on my begged bended knees
Oh please, please heed my call
He's just a boy that has lost his way
He's just a boy, that's all

Check out fats, he's a real cool cat
He's got a black and white tux with lots of class
He says, "i love that jazz. i love that razz-ma-tazz. i love to swing."
"i just go crazy when you give me room to do my thing." that's fats

Well, check out fats, he's a real cool cat
He's got bright white spats and sharp dark trilby hat
He's got a chick that's slick and i like her looks
And i like the way her lipstick, it matches the carnation on his tux

I love his jazz, i love his style, it makes me feel so nice
Oh fats, won't you play for ma a while? that's fats
Oh well, sigmund freud, he gets very annoyed
He was checking out fats and waller just don't like that cat

He said, "i don't like his looks, i don't like his fashion."
I love his jazz, i love his style, it makes me feel so nice
Oh fats, won't you play for me a while? not that fats
He's such a real cool cat, that's fats. nobody plays that jazz, not like fats

Set me on my destination
Point me the way to my position
What's the meaning of my mission
I have made my decision clear

I don't need another reason
I don't want anymore prime time
I have made my decision
Not for the first but for the last time

I'm setting on slow
I'm building it up
I'm letting it go
The pressure will blow on time

I don't want another story
You can place it with your nursery rhymes
I don't want to take the glory
Why don't you and him take it this time

I don't need another reason
I can't make another plan
I know you're both in secret liason
So we must go our separate ways

I'm setting on slow
I'm building it up
I'm letting it go
The pressure will blow on time

So i'll keep pushing my position
Till the pressure builds it well
But i keep pressing your decision
Till you've made your mind up as well

I can't take another season
I can't make another play
I know you're in secret liason
So we must go our separate ways

I'm setting on slow
I'm building it up
I'm letting it go
The pressure will blow on time

I better keep myself from being busted
I better keep myself out of jail
'cause i ain't got a friend to get me trusted
That's why my mama sends my money through the mail

I've been down on my luck
I've been down on my wealth
I'm gotta stop taking care of business
Start taking care of my health

I've gotta leave this town
I've gotta leave this town behind
I've gotta leave this town tonight

Well i set off down the main street
With such a long, long way to go
But before i started i was cornered on the corner
Still waiting for my sugar to show

I've been down on my luck
I've been down on my wealth
I've gotta stop taking care of somebody's else's business
Start taking care of myself

I've gotta leave this town
I've gotta leave this town behind
I've gotta leave this town tonight

I was fooling around with the sheriff's daughter
She was a real fine fox
But the sheriff he came after
And threatened to lock me in a cell box

He showed me his magnum
He showed me his shotgun
He stuck it in my face
And said, "boy, i think you best be gone"

I've gotta leave this town
I've gotta leave this town behind
I've gotta leave this town tonight

Oh my god
There's millions of them!

I've seen a fire start in frisco
The day that the earth quaked
I've seen buildings a-blazing
Throwing up in flames

I heard men, women and children
Crying out to their god for mercy
But their god didn't listen
So they were burned alive

They went down, down, deep underground
In the great disaster

I was hanging out in berlin
In the year one thousand nine hundred and thirty nine
I've seen hitler's storm troopers
March right across the maginot line

I've seen two world wars
I've seen men send rockets out into space
I foresee a holocaust
An angel of death descending to destroy the human race

Down, down, deep undergound
A great disaster

In the sixteenth century there was a french philosopher
By the name of nostradamus
Who prophesised that in the late twentieth century
An angel of death shall waste this land

A holocaust the likes of which
This planet had never seen
Now, i ask you
Do you believe this to be true?

I was standing by the bedside
The night that my father died
He was crying out in pain
To his god he said, "have mercy, mercy!"

His body was riddled with a disease
Unknown to man so he expected no cure
But before he died that night
He was lost, insane

He went down, down, deep underground
A great disaster

You'll go down, down, deep underground
A great disaster

I think they've got now!


Angel of death (lynott, wharton) [lorelei version]
--------------

I was hanging round in frisco
In the year of one hundred and nineteen six
When i heard about the earthquake
The world trembled from within

I saw the fire ragin
Through all that time i heard people dying
They went down, down, deep underground
In the great disaster

I was hanging out in berline
In the year one hundred nineteen and thirty nine
I've seen hitler's storm troopers
March right across the maginot line

I've seen men run away crying "gas!"
Right in front of their throats
I wouldn't think that i was squeezing
They went down, down, deep underground a great disaster

I was standing at the bedside
That night my father died
I could see him crying for mercy
A disease had got his body

I was afraid then
As i am now
The lord did not hear him
He went anyhow

He went down, down, deep underground
It was a disaster
I will go down, down, underground
To meet my master

Down, down
