WHITE LINES
freeze · rock · freeze · rock · freeze · rock · freeze · rock
white · oh white · white · oh white · white · oh white · white · oh
white lines · vision dreams of passion · going through my mind · and all the while I think of you · pipeline · a very strange reaction · yours to unwind · the more I see the more I do
something of a phenomenon · telling your body to come along · 'cause white lines blow away
blow · rock · blow
ticket to ride a white-line highway · tell all your friends they can go my way · pay your toll sell your soul · pound for pound it costs more than gold · the longer you stay the more you pay · my white lines go a long way · either up your nose or through your vein · with nothing to gain except killing your brain
freeze · say rock come on y'all · rock · say freeze come on · freeze · say rock come on y'all · rock · say freeze come on · freeze · say rock come on y'all · rock · say freeze come on · freeze · say rock come on y'all · rock · say freeze come on
higher baby · get higher baby · get higher baby · and don't ever come down free base
pipeline · pure as the driven snow · connected to my mind · and now I'm having fun baby · highrise · it's getting kind of low · 'cause it makes you feel so nice · I need some one on one baby · tell me it'll blow your mind away · baby · going to your little hideaway · 'cause white lines · (what do white lines do) · blow away
blow · rock · blow
a million magic crystals painted pure and white · a multi-million dollars almost overnight · twice as sweet as sugar · twice as bitter as salt · and if you get hooked baby · it's nobody else's fault so don't do it
freeze · say rock come on y'all · rock · say freeze come on · freeze · say rock come on y'all · rock · say freeze come on · freeze · say rock come on y'all · rock · say freeze come on · freeze · say rock come on y'all · rock · put 'em up put 'em up put 'em up
higher baby · get higher baby · get higher baby · and don't ever come down free base
don't you get too high · don't you get too high baby · it turns you on · you really turn me on and on · can't you ever come down · my temperature is rising · 'til the thrill is gone · no I don't want you to go
a street kid gets arrested · gonna do some time · he got out three years from now just to commit more crime · a businessman is caught with twenty four kilos · he's out on bail and out of jail and that's the way it goes
cane · sugar · cane · sugar · cane
athletes reject it · governor's correct it · gangsters punks and smugglers are thoroughly respected · the money gets divided · the women get excited · now I'm broke and it's no joke · it's hard as hell to fight it · don't buy it
freeze · say rock come on y'all · rock · say freeze come on · freeze · say rock come on y'all · rock · say freeze · freeze · say rock come on y'all · rock · say freeze come on · freeze · say rock come on y'all · rock · put 'em up

PERFECT DAY

just a perfect day · feed animals in the zoo · and later a movie too · and then home
oh it's such a perfect day · I'm glad I spent it with you · such a perfect day · you just keep me hanging on · you just keep me hanging on

you're gonna reap just what you sow · you're gonna reap just what you sow · you're gonna reap just what you sow · you're gonna reap just what you sow · you're gonna reap just what you sow
WATCHING THE DETECTIVES
nice girls not one with a defect · cellophane shrink-wrapped so correct · red dogs under illegal legs · she looks so good that he gets down and begs
she's watching the detectives · oh he's so cute · she's watching the detectives · oh when they shoot
they beat him up until the teardrops start · but he can't be wounded cos he's got no heart
long shot of that jumping sign · visible shivers running down my spine · cut the baby taking off her clothes · close-up of the sign that says we never close · you snatch a tune you match a cigarrette · she pulls the eyes out with a face like a magnet · I don't know how much more of this I can take · she filing her nails while they're dragging the lake
she's watching the detectives · oh he's so cute · she's watching the detectives · oh when they shoot · she's watching the detectives · oh he's so cute · she's watching the detectives · oh as they shoot shoot shoot
they beat him up until the teardrops start · but he can't be wounded 'cuase he's got no heart
now you think you're alone until you realize you're in it · now fear is here to stay love is here for a visit · they call it instant justice when it's past the legal limit · someone's scratching at the window · I wonder who is it · the detectives come to check if you belong to the parents · who are ready to hear the worst about their daughter's disappearance · though it nearly took a miracle to get you to stay · it only took my little fingers to blow you away
she is
she's watching · oh · she's watching · oh
as they shoot shoot shoot
LAY LADY LAY
lay lady lay · lay across my big brass bed · lay lady lay · lay across my big brass bed
whatever colours you have in your mind · I show them to you and you see them shine
lay lady lay · lay across my big brass bed · stay lady stay · stay with your man a while · until the break of day · let me see you make him smile
his clothes are dirty but his, his hands are clean · and you are the best thing that he's ever seen
stay lady stay · stay with your man a while
why wait any longer for the world to begin · you can have your cake and eat it too · why wait any longer for the one you love · when he's standing in front of you
lay across my big brass bed · stay lady stay
I long to see you in the morning light · I long to reach for you in the night
stay lady stay · stay while the night is still ahead
lay lady lady · stay · stay
911 IS A JOKE
now I dialed 911 a long time ago · don't you see how late they're reactin' · they only come and they come when they wanna · so get the morgue truck 'em back the goner · they don't care 'cause they get paid anyway · they treat you like an ace that can't be betrayed · I know you stumble with no use people · if your life is on the line then you're dead today
late comings with the late comin' stretcher · that's a body bag in disguise y'all I'll betcha · I call 'em body snatchers quick they come to fetch you with an autopsy ambulance just to dissect ya · they are the kings 'cause they swing amputation · lose your arms your legs to them it's compilation · I can prove it to you watch the rotation · it all adds up to a funky situation
get up get get get down · 911 is a joke in your town · get up get get get down · late 911 wears the late crown · get up get get get down · 911 is a joke in your town · get up get get get down · late 911 wears the late crown

everyday they don't never come correct · you can ask my man right here with the broken neck · he's a witness to the job never bein' done · he would've been in full effect 911 was a joke 'cause they always joking · they the token to your life when it's croakin' · they need to be in a pawn shop on a 911 is a joke we don't want 'em · I call a cab 'cause a cab will come quicker · the doctors huddle up and call a flea flicker · the reason that I say that 'cause they flick you off like fleas · they be laughin' at ya while you're crawlin' on our knees · and to the strength so go the length · thinkin' you are first when you really are tenth · you better wake up and smell the real flavor · 'cause 911 is a fake life saver
get up get get get down · 911 is a joke in your town · get up get get get down · late 911 wears the late crown · get up get get get down · 911 is a joke in your town · get up get get get down · late 911 wears the late crown

CRYSTAL SHIP
before you slip into unconsciousness · I'd like to have another kiss · another flashing chance at bliss · another kiss · another kiss
the days are bright and filled with pain · enclose me in your gentle rain · the time you ran was too insane · we'll meet again · we'll meet again
oh tell me where your freedom lies · the streets are fields that never die · deliver me from reasons why you'd rather cry · I'd rather fly
the crystal ship is being filled · a thousand girls · a thousand thrills · a million ways to spend your time · when we get back I'll drop a line
BALL OF CONFUSION
people moving out · people moving in · why · because of the color of their skin · run run run but you sure can't hide
an eye for an eye · a tooth for a tooth · vote for me and I'll set you free · rap on brother rap on
well the only person talking about love thy brother is a preacher · see no body interested in learning but the teacher
segregation · domination · demonstration · integration · aggrivation · humiliation · obligation to the nation
ball of confusion · that's what your world is today · ball of confusion · that's what your world is today
this angry pen is like an all time high · city's aflame in the summer time and oh the beat goes on
evolution revolution evolution revolution
gun control · the sound of soul · politicians can you fucking believe them
and the band played on · and the band played on · round and around and around we go · whereever we're standing nobody knows
take a look around · can't you hear me talking to you · just a ball of confusion · that's what your world is today · ball of confusion · that's what your world is today
feel it in the air · tension everywhere · unemployment rising fast · killers gangs watch your ass
gun control · the sound of soul
segregation · domination · demonstration · integration · aggrivation · humiliation · obligation to the nation
ball of confusion · that's what your world is today · ball of confusion · that's what your world is today · ball of confusion · that's what your world is today · ball of confusion · that's what your world is today
that's what your world is today · ball of confusion · ball of confusion · ball of confusion · that's what you world is today
THANK YOU
if the sun refused to shine · I would still be loving you · and mountains crumble to the sea · there will still be you and me
kind woman I give you my all · kind woman nothing more
little drops of rain whisper of the pain · tears of loves lost in the days gone by · our love is strong · with you there is no wrong · together we shall go until we die
inspiration is what you are to me · inspiration look to see
and so today my world it smiles · your hand in mine we walk the miles · thanks to you it will be done · you to me are the only one
happiness no longer sad · happiness I'm glad
if the sun refused to shine · I would still be loving you · mountains crumble to the sea · there will still be you and me
DRIVE BY
it was the hottest day in july · and all along santa monica boulevard the cars were stood still · and a gleaming metal tube would stretch all the way from highland back to la brea · and she met under los angeles sunshine
a young man was sitting at the wheel on his way to make a pickup · turned off the aircon · rolled down the window · and began to sweat
out over the hollywood hills he saw the clouds building like great dark towers of rain · ready to come tumbling down any day now · not a day too soon · any day now
and as the music drifted in from other cars · his eyes started to sleep
this is the story of his dream
sing blue silver · sing sing blue silver
this is the story of his dream · the story of his dream

NEEDLE AND THE DAMAGE DONE
I caught you knockin' at my cellar door · I love you baby can I have some more · ooh · the damage's done
I hit the city and I lost my band · I watched the needle take another man · gone gone · the damage's done
I sing the song because I love the man · I know that some of you don't understand · milk blood to keep from running out
I've seen the needle and the damage done · a little part of it in everyone · but every junkie's like a settin' sun
DIAMOND DOGS
as they pulled you out of the oxygen tent · you asked for the latest party · with your silicone hump and your ten inchy stump · dressed like a priest you was · todd browning beast you was
crawling down the alley on your hands and knees · I'm sure you're not protected for its plain to see · diamond dogs are poachers and they hide behind trees · hunt you to the ground they will mannequins with kill appeal
come · I keep a friend serene · will they come · oh baby come unto me · will they come · well she's come been and gone · come out of the garden baby · you'll catch a death in the fog · young girl · they call them the diamond dogs · young girl · they call them the diamond dogs
the halloween jack is a real cool cat · and he lives on top of manhattan chase · the elevators broke so he slides down a rope · onto the street below oh tarzie go man go · meets his little hussy with his ghost town approach · her face is sans feature but she wears a dali broach · sweetly reminiscent something mother used to bake · wrecked up and paralyzed · diamond dogs are sableized
I keep a friend serene · oh baby come unto me · well she's come been and gone · come out of the garden baby · you'll catch a death in the fog · young girl · they call them the diamond dogs · young girl · they call them the diamond dogs
oh · they call them the diamond dogs · oh · they call them the diamond dogs
in the year of the scavenger the season of the bitch · sashay on the boardwalk scurry to the ditch · just another future song lonely little keats · there's gonna be sorrow · try and wake up tomorrow
I keep a friend serene · oh baby come unto me · well she's come been and gone · come out of the garden baby · you'll catch a death in the fog · young girl · they call them the diamond dogs · young girl · they call them the diamond dogs
oh · they call them the diamond dogs · oh · they call them the diamond dogs
who who · wuf wuf · they call them the diamond dogs · call them they call them · call them the diamond dogs · will they come · will they come · will they come if we call them the diamond dogs
