Too Hot To Handle: The Very Besy of UFO

Standin' by the roadside, views are in my hand
Coat I'm wearings blowing cold
Turn my back to the wind
Winter mists along the coast
City lights close down
Your empty station there
Train line cuts the ground
Train line cuts the ground

[Chorus]
Crystal light shinin' bright
Shine on down for me
Good is even passin' by, dying not received
Like a fool I hit that road, took my time to see
Life was only foolin' there

Locust Berry burns my love, find it hard to breathe
The hospital shut their gates, I can't get me no peace
Weaker people stand and scream, stumble in the road
Close my eyes, turn off the lights
Timeless, found a dream, timeless found a dream

[Chorus: x2]

Said she came from Memphis
You can look but please don't touch
Didn't like rock and rollers
Seemed a bit much too much
* Cause it's the natural thing you feel at the start
Natural blood starts to flow
Yeah, the natural thing, you get at the start
Then she'll never let you go
Hey girl, now does it feel alright Think I'm gettin' through
Don't you think the band's real tight Wait til we start to move
** May sound funny but you gave it to me
I didn't even like it
May sound funny but you gave it to me
And now I got to live without it
I been down to Atlanta
Got to move my feet
Gettin' down for the last encore
With every star she meets
[* Repeat]
[** Repeat]
[** Repeat]
Why'd you do it, why'd you do it

Seventeen a nature's queen, know what I mean
Twenty one, a long one,
And you can see the numbers run
Now you look so peaceful, lyin' there asleep
With the wings of God above you
Before the spirits meet

--rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
* rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom

Shadow work is closin' in above the lamps in your street
Lucifer goes walkin' down free to meet
Minutes pass so slowly by the, hands on your clock
Heaven don't open when you knock
* repeat

With all darkness closin' in
Will the light reveal your soul
One sweet kiss on your clay cold lips
I'll know sleep you'll never know
Where do we go, where do we go
Where do we go from here

* repeat
* repeat

Last train's eleven, it's now quarter past
Why are you trying to make the evening move so fast
I'm in real trouble but I can't go back home
They locked the doors and I'm left out alone

[Chorus]
You can come to my place and sleep on the couch
Lots of people do it and we won't leave you out
Hard times out on the Street
Hard times, hard to beat
The painted lies they all hand you
I'm a loser on the road
I'm a loser on the road, yeah

Huston station and it's cold as ice
All night specials, they move you on
But me and Ginger over there
We got this thing where we really take care

[Chorus]

I'm a loser, I'm a loser
I'm a loser

It's another night out on the avenue
Looking for something, something that you knew
And you're wondering where she is
Now there's now there's no more rendezvous

*you're left out here on this cold stark street
With the sound of lovers as they tango and meet
Their sweet surrender with a promise and a kiss
Where's that girl, the one you miss

Those ooh la la la girls in their skirts they go rushing by
They look around and give you that come on
With their dreamy dreamy eyes
Then you never stop to count your mistakes
That one blind moment with no give and take
Is lost in every stranger's face you see
If there's a loser that loser's me

** please put a little love back into my life
Won't you please put a little love back into my life

Every night's another night you keep looking back
Trying to fill the spaces hours and the minutes and the missing gaps

* repeat

** repeat

[instrumental]

Every shadow's like a ghost that comes and haunts you
Angel of the night plays her tricks today it's true
With every step, every step you see her slip away
Not just today

It's another night out on the avenue
Looking for something, something that you knew
* repeat

** repeat and fade

Hey there now big shot well just listen to me
I know the score and it's no great mystery
I hear you talking and it's all been said
But what I'm thinking I keep inside my head

* I ain't no baby, so get out of my way
Keep in with your own kind
Ain't none of your business, you got nothing to say
Stay away, forever

You play the cool star it's a dangerous game
Don't forget the street and who gave you your name
Romancin' with the company as they pour in the pounds
If the next thing is you and then who are the clowns?

* chorus

--instrumental--

* chorus
Stay away, forever

Saturday night, we're all on the lookout for some thrills
Try to catch the band's last song
Backstage pass really showin' out
Feel that's where i belong

Sittin' down with all the big stars at the bar
I really have a rock vocation
From monopedemania to schizophrenia
Rise to any situation

* of old lost love, where will you go
When the show is over
Nobody wants to know

**
We need to feel
Something that's real
'cause you're losin' from the start
So be careful with your heart

--solo--
**
Repeat
Partners in the next bed and they're dancing cheek to cheek
Can't understand their highbrow conversation
Yes, you're pretty, who needs a pretty face
With a hot lips reputation

*
Repeat

White lines on the highway
Rolling out into the night
Got no bag to slow us down
We're travelling light, travelling light tonight

Feel the wheels roll away
How many miles have i been gone
Listen girl you never knew
The road goes on all night long

[Chorus:]
This fire burns tonight
The streets are alight
Out on this town we are bursting
This fire burns tonight
The streets are alight
(And) out on this town we are bursting

Now me and my partners are moving
We run on from town to town
And this here road surface
Is setting them up rolling them down
There's girls out in the neon
Singing blues every night
And you that they'll never love you
They're travelling light, travelling light

[Chorus x3]
