Or somethin' inside me
You better tell me

3. DESPERADO

I'm a gambler
And i'm a runner
But you knew that
When you layed down
I'm a picture of
Ugly stories
I'm a killer and
I'm a clown
Step into the street by sundown
Step into your last goodbye
You're a target just by living
Twenty dollars will make you die
I wear lace
And i wear black leather
My hands are lightning
Upon my gun
My shots are clean
And my, my shots are final
My shots are deadly
And when it's done
You're as stiff as my smoking barrel
You're as dead as a desert night
You're a notch
And i'm a legend
You're at peace
And i must hide
Tell me where the hell i'm going
Let my bones fall in the dust
Can't you hear that ghost that's calling?
As my colt begins to rust
In the dust
I'm a killer
I'm a clown
I'm a priest
That's gone to town

'Cause it's a long long way to paradise

In a long-haired rock and roll band

9. GENERATION LANDSLIDE

Please clean the plates, dear
The lord above can see ya
Dont you know people are starving in korea?
Alcohol and razor blades are straight pins and needles
Kindergarten people-they useem, they needem
Over-indulging machineswere their children
There wasnt a way down on earth to coolem
Cause they look just like humans at kresges and woolworths
But decadent brains were ruling the streets
Saying generation landslide closed the gap betweenem
And i laugh to myself at the men and the ladies
Who never conceived of us billion dollar babies
Militant mothers hiding in their basement
Using pots and pants as their shields and their helmets
Molotov milk bottles haved from pink high chairs
While mothers lib burned sons hours
But she owns a maserati thats a gift from his father
Stopped at full speed at a hundred miles per hour
The colgate invicible shield finally gotem


10. NO MORE MR. NICE GUY

I used to be such a sweet, sweet thing
'Til they got a hold of me.
I opened doors for little old ladies,
I helped the blind to see.
I got no friends 'cause they read the papers.
They can't be seen with me and i'm gettin' real shot down
And i'm feeling mean.
No more mister nice guy,
No more mister clean,
No more mister nice guy,
They say he's sick, he's obscene.
I got no friends 'cause they read the papers.
They can't be seen with me and i'm gettin' real shot down
And i'm feeling mean.
No more mister nice guy,
No more mister clean,
No more mister nice guy,
They say he's sick, he's obscene.
My dog bit me on the leg today.
My cat clawed my eyes.
Ma's been thrown out of the social circle,
And dad has to hide.
I went to church incognito.
When everybody rose, the reverend smith,
He recognized me,
And punched me in the nose.
No more mister nice guy,
No more mister clean,
No more mister nice guy,
They say he's sick, he's obscene


11. BILLION DOLLAR BABIES

Billion dollar baby
Rubber little lady, slicker than a weasel
Grimy as an alley
Loves me like no other lover
Billion dollar baby
Rubber little monster, baby, i adore you
Man or woman living couldnt love me like you, baby
We go dancing nighty in the attic
While the moon is rising in the sky
If im too rough, tell me
Im so scared your little head will come off in my hands
I got you in the dimestore
No other little girl could everhold you
Any tighter, any tighter than me, bay
Billion dollar baby
Reckless like a gambler , million dollar maybe
Foaming like a dog thats been infected by the rabies
We go dancing nighty in the attic
While the moon is rising the sky
If im too rough , tell me
Im so scared your little head will come off in my hands
Million dollar baby
Billion dollar bay
Trillion dollar baby
Zillion dollar baby


12. TEENAGE LAMENT 74'

What a drag it is
These gold lame jeans
Is this the coolest way
To get through your teens
Well, i cut my hair
With a rib teht it was in
I looked like a rooster
Than was drowned and raised again
What are you gonna do
I tell you waht i'm gonna do
Why don't you get away
I'm gonna leave today
I ran into my room
And i fell down on my knees
Well, i thought that fifteen
Was gonna be a breeze
I picked up my guitar
To blast away the clouds
But somebody in the next room yield
"you gotta turn that damn thing down!"
What are you gonna do
I tell you waht i'm gonna do
Why don't you get away
Well, i'm gonna cry all day
And i know trouble
Is brewin' out there
But i can hardly care
They fight all night
About his private secretary
Lipstick stain, blond hair
What are you gonna do
I tell you what i'm gonna do
Why don't you run away
I'm gonna leave today
But even i
Don't know what i'm gonna do
Don't know what i'm gonna do
What are you gonna do
I tell you what i'm gonna do
Why don't you run away
Well, i'm gonna leave today
What are you gonna do
I tell you what i'm gonna do
Why don't you get away
Well, i'd rather cry all day
What are you gonna do, gonna do, gonna do...


13. MUSCLE OF LOVE

Aw, who's the queen of the locker room
Who's the cream of the crop
Poor joey took her to the matinee
Said, "god, she wouldn't stop!"
Holy muscle of love
My heart's a muscle
Well, i must have come to that crazy age
Where ev'rything is hot
'Cause i don't know if the things i'm thinking
Are normal thoughts or not
Holy muscle of love
Well, i got a muscle of love

Now things are crystal clear
Lock the door in the bathroom now

Holy muscle of love
My heart's a muscle of love
Holy muscle of love

14. ONLY WOMEN BLEED

Man's got his woman to take his seed
He's got the power - oh
She's got the need
She spends her life through pleasing up her man
She feeds him dinner or anything she can
She cries alone at night too often
He smokes and drinks and don't come home at all
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Man makes your hair gray
He's your life's mistake
All you're really lookin' for is an even break
He lies right at you
You know you hate this game
He slaps you once in a while and you live and love in pain
She cries alone at night too often
He smokes and drinks and don't come home at all
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Black eyes all of the time
Don't spend a dime
Clean up this grime
And you there down on your knees begging me please come
Watch me bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed


15. DEPARTMENT OF YOUTH

We're in trouble all the time
You read about us all in the papers
We walk around and bump into walls - a blind delegation
And we ain't afraid of high power
We're bullet proof
And we've never heard of eisenhower
Missile power, justice or truth
We're the department of youth
Your new department of youth
We're the department of youth
Just me and youth
We talk about this whole stupid world
And still come out laughing, ha!
We never make any sense
But hell that never mattered
But we'll make it through our blackest hour
We're living proof
And we've never heard of billy sunday
Damon runyon, manners or couth
We're the department of youth
Your new department of youth
We're the department of youth
Just me and youth
We're the department of youth
The new department of youth
We're the department of youth
We've got the power
We're the department of youth
And who gave it to you?
Donny osmond!
What


16. WELCOME TO MY NIGHTMARE

Welcome to my nightmare,

I think you're gonna feel you belong.
A walk to vacation,
A necessary sedation,
You wanna feel at home cause' you belong.

Welcome to my nightmare,
Welcome to my breakdown,

You know inside you feel right at home.

17. I NEVER CRY

If there's a tear on my face
It makes me shiver to the bones it shakes me babe
It's just a heartache that got cought in my eye
And you know i never cry i never cry

Sometimes i drink more than i need
Until the t.v.'s dead and gone
I may be lonely but i'm never alone
And the night may pass me by
But i'll never cry

Take away take away my eyes
Sometimes i'd rather be blind
Break a heart break a heart of stone
Open it up but don't you leave it alone

'Cause that's all i've got give to you
Believe me babe it ain't been used
My heart's a virgin it ain't never been tried
And you know i'll never cry
And you know i'll never cry
And you know you know you know you know
I'll never cry, i'll never cry

Break a heart break a heart of stone
Open it up but don't you leave it alone

'Cause that's all i've got give to you
Believe me babe it ain't been used
My heart's a virgin it ain't never been tried
And you know i'll never cry
And you know i'll never cry
And you know you know you know you know
I'll never cry, i'll never cry


18. YOU AND ME

When i got home from work
I wanna wrap myself around you
I wanna take you and squeeze you
'Till the passion starts to rise.

I wanna take you to heaven
That would make my day complete
But you and me ain't movie stars
What we are is what we are
We share a bed some lovin' and t.v. Yeah.

That's enough for a workin' man
What i am is what i am
And i tell you babe
Well that's enough for me.

Sometimes when you're asleep and
I'm just starin' at the ceiling
I wanna reach out and touch you
But you just go on dreamin'.

If i could take you to heaven
That would make my day complete
But you and me ain't movie stars
What we are is what we are
And i tell you babe
Well that's enough for me.

You and me ain't no superstars
What we are is what we are
We share a bed some popcorn and t.v. Yeah.

And that's enough for a workin' man
What i am is what i am
And i tell you babe
Well that's enough for me.

When i got home from work
I wanna wrap myself around you
I like to hold you and squeeze you
'Till the passion starts to rise.

I wanna take you to heaven
That would make my day complete ...


19. HOW YOU GONNA SEE ME NOW

Dear darlin' surprised to hear from me?
Bet you're sittin' drinkin' coffee, yawnin' sleepily
Just to let you know
I'm gonna be home soon
I'm kinda awkward and afraid
Time has changed your point of view
[Chorus:]
How you gonna see me now
Please don't see me ugly babe
'Cause i know i let you down
In oh so many ways
How you gonna see me now
Since we've been on our own
Are you gonna love the man
When the man gets home

Listen darlin' now i'm heading for the west
Straightened out my head but my old heart is still a mess
Yes i'm worried honey
Guess that's natural though
It's like i'm waiting for a welcome sign
Like a hobo in the snow

[Chorus]

And just like the first time
We're just strangers again
I might have grown out of style
In the place i've been
And just like the first time
I'll be shakin' inside
When i walk in the door
There'll be no place to hide

[Chorus]


20. FROM THE INSIDE

I got lost on the road somewhere
Was it texas or was it canada
Drinking whiskey in the morning light
I work the stage all night long
At first we laughed about it
My long haired drunken friends
Proposed a toast to jimmy's ghost
I never dreamed that i would wind up on the losing end

I'm stuck here on the inside looking out
I'm just another case
Where's my makeup where's my face on the inside

All got your kicks from what you saw up there
Eight bucks even buys a folding chair
I was downing seagrams on another flight
And i worked that stage all night long
You were screaming for the villain up there
And i was much obliged
The old road sure screwed me good this time
It's hard to see where the vicious circle ends

I'm stuck here on the inside looking out
That's no big disgrace
Where's my makeup where's my face on the inside


21. CLONES (WE'RE ALL)

I'm a clone
I know it and i'm fine
I'm one and more are on the way
I'm two, doctor
Three's on the line
He'll take incubation another day
I'm all alone, so are we all
We're all clones
All are one and one are all
All are one and one are all
We destroyed the government
We're destroying time
No more problems on the way
I'm through doctor
We don't need your kind
The other ones
Ugly ones
Stupid boys
Wrong ones
I'm all alone, so are we all
We're all clones
All are one and one are all
All are one and one are all
Six is having problems
Adjusting to his clone status
Have to put him on a shelf
All day long we hear him crying so loud
I just wanna be myself
I just wanna be myself
I just wanna be myself
Be myself
Be myself
I'm all alone, so are we all
We destroyed the government
We're destroying time
No more problems on the way
I'm through doctor
We don't need your kind
The other ones
Ugly ones
Stupid boys
Wrong ones
I'm all alone, so are we all
We're all clones
All are one and one are all
All are one and one are all
I'm all alone, so are we all
We're all clones
All are one and one are all
All are one and one are all
