No Exit

There's no sin in this: getting dressed to kill, laughing down the sun like a jackal will.
With his eyes ablaze and his lips apart he's gonna fill his cup with the love in your heart and drink it up til the morning starts.
Circulate the red light vistas.
Get the girls and get their sisters.
Pinch em up and give em blisters.
Kiss em fierce with all his might, forever.

Bye bye to another life.
Bye bye to another life.
Bye bye to another life.
Bye bye to another life.

Standing on the verge of the edge of the ledge, waiting for me to fall, but then i got a call.
It said "wait, hold up homie!
You must be trippin!
You can't be putting that simpin and whimpin up in your pippin!
You better stand tall, fool you was born to ball.
Took a little fall and now you wanna end it all!
You've been chasing dreams like a hound dog on the hunt.
Take your place in the front.
Put your hand on the pump.
And it's right in your grasp, man.
I know they're laughing, but you'll be laughing later cuz time's are gonna get greater.
You's a player, and when i say player i mean player cuz your daddy and your uncle was a player.

Who's gonna cry for ya?
Who's gonna cry over you?
Who's gonna cry for ya?
Who's gonna cry over you?

Put yourself in your position.
You ain't wishin for no food and no warmth and no light, so you must be doing all right.

But wait a minute!
Something's wrong.
It's lunatic, it's mad, insane!
Busted like a water main.
Indulgence in another vein.

What they're saying round the neighborhood is what he's drinking's not aged in wood.

He's filling out.
He's all growed up.
He's all blowed up.
He's gotten fat.
He's filling out.
He's all growed up.
He's all blowed up.
He's gotten fat.

Sure enough at the midnight lounge there's a dent in the seat where the vampire sat.

Bye bye to another life.
Bye bye to another life.

Living dead is doing time, like drowning on the circle line.

Who's gonna cry for ya?
Who's gonna cry over you?
Who's gonna cry for ya?
Who's gonna cry over you?

Who's gonna cry over you?
Cry over you?
Tell me would they lie for you?
Die for you?
You're hoping that it's true for you do for you, fool.
But who's gonna cry?

I'm like a happy dog who's been alone too long.
I wanna wag for you baby.

Raise a flag of wag.
Shake and shag.
I wanna wag for you baby.

Come on now throw me some bone.
I'm ripping up your song.
I wanna be your dog.
Skinny or fat, i'm gonna go with that and chase your pussycat.

Be my happy dog, my leaping frog and jump all over me.
Cuz my little mutt's got that hairy butt.
He's gonna wag it for me baby.

Hey come over here mr. licks.
I like when you pick up sticks.
When you throw me a fit.
And no matter what you tell the tale of a pup cuz you're my kind of mutt.

I disagree.
I wanna itch you like a flea.
Gonna teach my old dog to do some new tricks.
Mmm hmm.

Don't be begging me, just take a seat on my lap of luxury.
'cause i'm a happy dog who's been alone too long.
I wanna wag for you baby.

Come on now throw me some bone.
I'm ripping up your song.
I wanna be your dog.
Skinny or fat, i wanna go with that and chase your pussycat.

I wanna wag for you baby.
I wanna wag for you.
I wanna wag for you baby.
I wanna wag for you.

Dig up the conjo.
Breaking the mojo.
Dig up the conjo.
Making me well.

Who do you love?

You're a mess.
Got a gun to your head.
And drums in the night.
Going blind.
Hypnotized.

Lost in the congo.
Holding the bongo.
Kilimanjaro.
Dig up the conjo.

Listen to drums for the name.
Little hearts beat like saints come marching in.

Deep in the bayou.
Demon inside you.
Put on the hoo doo.
Put on the hoo doo.

Who do you love?

"hey mommy, do you see that man? hey mommy, i don't understand."

"it's only a zombie, honey, hailing a cab. just hold my hand and don't look in his face."

Jungle inside you.
Something's beside you.
Doing the mambo.
Dig up the conjo.

Who do you love?

A loa down the well.
Come and ring the bell.
The jungle's burning down!

Lost in the congo.
Beating the bongo.
Dig up the conjo.

Who do you love?

To confess in the sun hold your breath.
Something comes.
It's alright.
Half alive.
Watching you while it flies.

Lost in the congo.
Beating my bongo.
Breaking the mojo.
Dig up the conjo.
Beating my bongo.
Holding the mojo.
Making me well.

He don't hang around with the gang no more.
He don't do the wild things that he did before.

(ooh)
He used to act bad.
Used to, but he quit it.
It makes me so sad, 'cause i know that he did it for me (and i can see) and i can see (still in the street) his heart, his heart is out in the street.

He don't comb his hair like he did before.
He don't wear those dirty old black boots no more.

(ooh)
But he's not the same.
There's something 'bout his kisses... that tells me he's changed.
I know there's something missing inside.
(tell me more)
Something died.
(still in the street)
His heart, his heart is out in the streets.

He grew up on the sidewalk, streetlights shining above.
He grew up with no one to love.

He grew up on the sidewalk, he grew up running free.
He grew up and then he met me.

He don't hang around with the gang no more.
Gee, he doesn't smile like he did before.

(ooh)
I wish i didn't care.
I wish i'd never met him.

They're waiting out there, so i got to set him free.
(send him back)
He's gotta be...
(out in the street)
His heart, his heart is out in the street.

He don't hang around with the gang no more.
(he's out in the street)
He don't hang around with the gang no more.
He don't hang around with the gang no more.
(he's out in the street)
He don't hang around with the gang no more.
He don't hang around with the gang no more.
(he's out in the street)
He don't hang around with the gang no more.
He don't hang around with the gang no more.
(he's out in the street)
He don't hang around with the gang no more.

In the beginning, in the days before time, the light was alive with the essense of power.
And from that power were born beings who lived on the edge of eternity.
And they spread their wings and soared through the ancient air.
And the beating of their wings made the winds.
And from the winds came the seas.
And from the sea came the life of the earth.

Nature's cast upon the sea the winds of past, of promise be.
Waters deep uncover me.
A scheme of sleep as lovers three.

If you'll forgive me my ferocity, i won't forget your sweetness.
Pull down the night, lay it before me.
Gratify my head with curses.

Night recalls tranquility.
A curtain falls and sets it free.
Darkness calls eternity.
Down silent halls the shadows flee.

If you'll forgive me my ferocity, i won't forget your sweetness.
Pull down the night, lay it before me.
Satisfy my head with curses.

Forgive and forget.
Forgive and forget.
Forgive and forget.

Fates are cast upon the sea.
The winds of past of promise be.
Waters deep uncover me.
A scheme of sleep as lovers three.

Forgive and forget.
Forgive and forget.

Some days are all mondays.
Sort of time on ice.
It seems like jet planes on snowed in runways under clear blue skies.
Who needs it?

Nothing is real but the girl.
Nothing is real but her.

Money goes to money in a figure eight around me.
Money.
Who's gonna love me if i liquidate and drown me?

Nothing is real but the girl.
Nothing else feels solid.

We believe in love.
We believe in little things like heaven up above and seven.
It's a lucky number!
We believe that something lives inside every thing there is.
Don't think about it much.
I mean it.
I believe it.
I believe it.

Wind down.
Put your mind down like your missing school.
You'll teach her to find out while your dying in your living room how much you need her.

Nothing is real but the girl.
Only her eyes are solid.
Nothing is real but her.
Nothing is real but the girl.

I still can picture him: his hands in his back pockets.
He wasn't much for words, but when the wise kids made a racket he'd just have to go downtown, throw his weight around before starting over.

"say did you hear i've got a band?
Some guys i know from l.a.
We'll own the rio grande.
I'll pay you back next friday.
You know it sure ain't big, just some cats i dig.
They said they'd do the gig."

Oh desperado, why don't you spend your life in colorado?
Oh restless shadow, out in the blue hills you're feeling hollow.

Oh el diablo, why did you spend your life in california?
I should have warned ya.
No place to go now but falling over.

Some hands can't make it on the run, under the gun.
Not for the younger.
Oh jack daniels, i feel your hunger.

I know you did your best, but you thought that you did not.
I wish that i had known before i heard the last shot.
You know, it's not a sin, that little badge of tin.
Just a momento.

So sad you loved in vain.
My comrades lost in battle.
The music wars are done from london to seattle.
We all pay to play and all our yesterdays are starting over.

Oh desperado, why don't you spend your life in colorado?
Oh restless shadow, out on the blue hills you're feeling hollow.

Oh el diablo, why did you spend your life in california?
I should have warned ya.
No place to go now but falling over.

Ready to die.
Now he's ready to die.
