Alcatrazz

Chemical kids lost in the street, looking
for some kind of saviour
Perverted minds lead them like sheep
into the slaughter they have to face

(CHORUS)
Too young to die, too drunk to live
As they follow in the path of believers before them
Too young to die, but there won't be too long to live

Daddie's princess fixes her hair, powders
her nose from the inside
Smokes in the car, drinks her last beer,
soon she'll be ready for one more day

Head for the classroom and to hell but
the clock up on the wall hold the
blind face of freedom

(CHORUS CONT.)

There's time to die but she just needs
more time to live

(SOLO)

Years from now
Look how they change
They're so mature and respected
Makes them laugh
They were such fools
So unaware of the real live world
Honey I'm home, fix me a drink
It's been a long hard day and the boss
drove me crazy
Watching the clock on the wall for
the happy hour

Let's take a plane and go somewhere exotic
To play with a non-descript song
We'll shoot all the crotch shots for 12 year old hopefuls
To make you a real man my son

Some cheap kid from Birmingham
Blessed with an accent
That pours like the darkest brown ale
Just one more puppet, piss elegant marionette
He's just a fast buck for sale

Don't you know that God blessed video
We know that God blessed video

Break out the cameras that re-shape my face
And get someone to carve up my hair
If you can't beat them, you might as well join 'em
And be glad to say you were there

Sister moon and brother sun
Shining down on my India
Spreading your light across the ground
Guiding the executioner
Great white warrior, you are the lonely hunter
Killing the prince of india
Killing the king in africa
Tiger burning brightly crying tears of fire

Mercy, mercy, mercy

Chand bahen ar suray bhy
Shining down on my India
Chamakta hey mana barat ka upar
Guiding the lonely preditor

Tiger burning brightly crying tears of fire

Mercy, mercy, mercy

He's just a kid and loves to ride
Taking the freeway, driving blind
Just like a loaded gun, he pushes down the hammer
Hard to fire

In the embrace of his gasoline lover
Her sleek body wraps all around
Turns on the radio, lights up his cigarette
Takes the lights up, dims them down
A silent Geisha, the perfect seducer
Knows someone is waiting too long

Oh will you be home tonight
Oh please say tou'll be there

He's just a kid who loves to drive
To get out of sight out of his mind
He pushed the hammer down
And shot just like a bullet from a gun

Drunk on the fix of the powerful kick
As he shoots up from zero to speed
Has one more drink of the cold liquid courage
To keep on the level he needs
Soothed by the sound of the wheels on the ground
But he won't hear the tires when they scream...

Oh will you be home tonight
Oh will you be home tonight

Oh will you be home tonight
Oh will you be home tonight

Down the street a snake of leather sliding off to war,
Out to fight the battle with the boys upon the boards,
Up against the disciples with their backs up to the walls,
They don't care, 'cos they can take the blast
They're just out to bust their balls!

In the arena the battle begins
They're eye to eye face to face...

They come back to feel the smack from the wire and the wood,
Pack that slap, don't take no crap from the wire and the wood.

Crushed against the barricades
And worked up to a rage
How hot it gets, and how the leather sweats,
As they reach to claw the stage

In an hour or two,
The battle will be done
No one leaving in defeat
Both sides having won
Blinded by the silence calling them back home

Lie in Egyptian sands, Ethiopian overlord
Royal mountains stand
Guardian of the Kings
Sleep in your dusty sea
Silent shining desert diamond, sleep eternally.

Eyes of a blinded lion, saw the age of the Pharoah come,
And return to sand,
Gold and silver gone stripped from your virgin stone
Still you stand so strong and silent

Frozen by the sun

Desert diamond
Stone leonine
Desert diamond
Stone leonine

Silent shining
Desert giant
Ethiopian sons-diamond

A dark and crowded room
Warm beer that's stale
Nobody seems to care, there's more for sale

She walks on stage
Strokes her hips, shakes her mane
Her sweet cheap perfume, reminds them that she's why they came.


Oh she's the stripper, she'll strip your soul
Oooh she's the stripper, she'll eat you whole.

Assembled in Mexico, dark Spanish eyes,
She'll tell you where to go, if you get wise,
She's your fantasy, but she won't go too far,
Oh she has to be, in league with the guy at the bar.

Ohhhhhhhh she's the stripper, she'll strip your soul
Oooh she's the stripper, she'll eat you whole.

Street wise, smooth thighs, dress for your pleasure
Your old man says, "Young man, stand and deliver"
She just wants that hard stash, hot from your pocket,
She don't need your credit card
So shove it, if you've got it.

Sailing on her waterbed
Side by side and head to head

Painted love, painted love, painted lover
Painted love, painted love, painted lover

Pin striped city tyke has a soft underbelly,
He's transfixed by the heel clicks
And he ducks down the alley
Silken legs stiletto spurred
Pulls you in to make you hers

The cold December day I came
You knew me well but I was a stranger
You suffer me, oh oh you suffer me
Oooo suffer me
Why you suffer me

I touched you
You felt me heart
Oh how you suffer me oh you suffer me
Oh suffer me
Why did you suffer me

(SOLO)

Oh suffer me why did you
How could you suffer me
Suffer wo oa oh

One more hotel it's 12 o'clock we're checking out
Still confused and slow to move to get on the bus,
The driver keeps that Memphis smile for his good old boys
He's loaded them up and heads them out in the void.

We drive -- pass those trailers and trucks
We'll make good time with some kind of luck

Another victory, for sons and lovers
You gave us the power, you gave the power

It's not just one more show we know it's gotta be right
We work the songs then kiss the road a warm good night

Just one more of those 82 nights
We were all cowboys ready to ride
Fire the gun, turn your eyes to the sea
Through that night, riding your trigger with me.

Your local station gives out the news
"The sky is burning, in Malibu"

As the beach turns an ominous green
Bathed in light from the shape in the sky
We all tanned, in a new kind of sun
Something's wrong and we're getting ready to run

Your local station knows what to say
It's just a fuel burn so its o.k.
Please hold the phone calls there's no more news
It's just a skyfire in Malibu.

Pros to cons from diplomats-liars
Words designed to tranquilize-fighters

Your local station screams out the news
The sky is burning in Malibu
Please hold the phone calls
There is no need for alarm
It's just a skyfire, skyfire burning in Malibu.

In the London rain the sun called "go west",
The American loves the way you speak English
And they watched you growing as their son for so long
How they long to embrace you, tell you, `This is home'.

Beloved foreigner this your America
Wants you to stay forever
Beloved foreigner this your America
Wants you to stay forever

As you look down on the New York skyline
There's someone waiting for you among the crowd
He wants to be just like you, he wants to be a friend to you,

Reach inside, and just be part of you
He saved the photographs, he read the magazines
Making you part of the city

Beloved foreigner someone to crucify
Breaking the heart of the city.

In the London rain the sun called "Go West"
The Americans love to hear you speak English
He took your autograph
Spit out the magazine

You're walking up with your eyes on me
It's looking good but I just don't know
I need a girl who can keep her head
All Night Long
You didn't come just to see the show
I guess you know what you wanna see
The way you smile lets me know I can't go wrong

I wanna touch you
I wanna feel you
I wanna make you mine

I wanna love you (all night long)
I wanna be with you (all night long)
I wanna love you (all night long)
I wanna be with you (all night long)

I saw you standing down by the stage
Your Black stockings and your see through dress
Your mouth is open but I don't wanna hear ya
Say good night

You're sorta young
But you're over age
I don't care cause I like your style
Don't know about your brain
But you look alright

Your mind is dirty
But your hands are clean
You show the class
But youre left alone
I know I can't stand another night
(on my own)
Hey girl would you like some wine
What's your name?
Are you by yourself?
Are you the one?
But you say can I take you home

It was newborn and ten feet tall,
But they called it little boy,
And C7, H5, O6, N3 they called him
T-N-T.

The fireball would dim the sun,
Promising death in its cruelest form.

Hiroshima Mon Amour
As we beg to be forgiven do you spit,
In our face and curse us all.

The fireball that shamed the sun,
Burning the shadows on the ground,
As the rain falls to dry the land,
Leaving desert for the thirsty man.

They all said it would end the war,
And we thanked Christ for the bomb,
And the priests and witches all agreed,
They should die to keep them free.

The fireball that shamed the sun,
Burning the shadows on the ground,
As the rain falls to dry the land,
Leaving the desert for the thirsty man.

HIROSHIMA!!!

See the man in the busy street
He's almost incomplete
He takes his pleasure in strange ways
And the lady of the library
She's just like you and me
You wanna know her at all
She takes the train up to the great big city
She knocks the door and steps right in
He's just a fool that someone likes to pity
They work it out in the house of sin

Night Games
They pay for their night games
They were two lovers
They dont use names
It says in the rules
I's strictly for the fools
To play night games
They pay for their night games
Always play one last frame
Games of the night

Every room has a different scene
Everyone has a different dream
They make it any way they choose
You can get anything you need
Anyone at the price agreed
And it's up for grabs for you to lose
It's entertainment for the lost and lonely
A cabaret for those who dare
Full entertainment of the one and only
It's got to be if it gets you there

Night Games
They pay for their night games
They were two lovers
They don't use names
It says in the rules
It's strictly for the fools
To play their night games
They pay for their night games
Always play one last frame
It says in the rules
It's strictly for the fools
Night Games
