PAROLES

 
I Wanna Live

I've been thinking it over
And I know just what to do
I've been thinking it over
And I know I just can't trust myself

I'm a Gypsy prince
Covered with diamonds and jewels
But then my lover exposes me
I know I'm just a damn fool

I give what I've got to give
I give what I need to live
I give what I've got to give
It's important if I want to live

I wanna live
I want to live my life
I wanna live
I want to live my life

As I load my pistol
Fine German steel
I never thought I'd be so down and out
Having my last meal
But I know I can do it
It just took a few years
As I execute my killer
The morning is near

I give what I've got to give
I give what I need to live
I give what I've got to give
It's important if I want to live

I wanna live
I want to live my life
I wanna live
I want to live my life


Bop 'Til You Drop

Bop 'til you drop
Bop 'til you drop
Bop 'til you drop
Bop 'til you drop

No matter what
You just can't stop
Bop 'til you drop
Bop 'til you drop

Stick'em up
Give me your money
You act like a big shot
But you're really a dummy
They want your blood
They want every drop

Bop 'til you drop
Bop 'til you drop
Hey!

You tried and tried
But you're a flop
You're thirty five
Still pushing a mop
No time to cop
Do the cretin hop
Bop 'til you drop
Bop 'til you drop


Garden Of Serenity

Come on take my hand
Come on little stranger
The spirits are angry
Stay away from danger
This is insanity
This could be the end
This is insanity
Farewell my friend

In the garden of serenity
In the garden of serenity
In the garden of serenity
In the garden of serenity

Meet me in the graveyard
We'll walk among the dead
On a midnight odyssey
Riding in my head

I'm not your enemy
Girl, I am your friend
Come with me on a journey
On a journey to the end

In the garden of serenity
In the garden of serenity
In the garden of serenity
In the garden of serenity


Weasel Face

Twenty four hours ago
No one could help me
I'm alone in life
No where to go

So I picked up the phone
Called out for help
Some one please help me
I'm afraid and alone

Weasel face
Weasel face
Weasel face

It's way past midnight
T.V. set is on
It's my only friend
One crisis after another

Ain't no loser or quitter
It's all or nothin' baby
'Cause we fought so hard
For our piece of this world

Weasel face
Weasel face
Weasel face

Come on baby let's shake

Girls cars sun fun
Girls cars sun fun
Girls cars sun fun
Good times for everyone


I Know Better Now

Nobody
Can tell me
I know
I know better now

You're a kid
You're a brat
Clean up your room
Throw out the trash

When I was your age
I heard it all
Like livin' under
Your marshall law

I would think it was
For my own good
I would think it was true

Nobody
Can tell me
I know
I know better now

Gotta be in early
Gotta go to school
They don't like my friends
I don't like those rules

I'm not a criminal
I'm not on drugs
Don't wait up for me
I'm out havin' fun

I would think it was
For my own good
I would think it was true

Nobody
Can tell me
I know
I know better now

Nobody
Can tell me
I know
I know better now...


Death Of Me ?

We've got to stop this crazy carrying on
It's gonna be the death of you

Stop this crazy carrying on
It's gonna be the death of me
It's gonna be the end you see
It's gonna be the death of we

If we don't stop this crazy carrying on
It's gonna be the death of you

Stop this crazy carrying on
It's gonna be the death of me
It's gonna be the end you see
It's gonna be the death of me

And I feel like I'm gonna die
I don't feel so good inside
Why baby-why, why, why?
But I had a good time
You know I had a good night

We got to stop this crazy carrying on
It's gonna be the death of you

Stop this crazy carrying on
It's gonna be the death of me
It's gonna be the end you see
It's gonna be the death of me


I Lost My Mind

I lost my mind
I lost my mind
I lost my mind
I lost my mind

Give me some skin
Give me some gin
Give me some wine
I lost my mind
I lost my mind
I lost my mind

Give me some skin
Give me some gin
I want some wine
I lost my mind
I lost my mind
I lost my mind

I lost my mind

When I saw you at the Cat Club
You looked really kind of cool now
Well come along with me 'cause

Just as long as you're here by my side
You don't ever have to be lonely
Just as long as you've nothing to hide

I'm Not Jesus

Don't wear a crown of thorns
Got no holes in my hand
Don't accuse me of that crime
Don't hang me up to dry

It's not me
It's not me
It's not me

Don't wanna die for your sins
Got no special powers
Sacrifice and sacrilege
Hey man, I wanna live

I'm not Jesus
I can't heal you

Taste my blood
It doesn't taste like wine
Can't you see
This cross isn't mine
Judas must die
For what he has done
Satan's watching
With his gun

It's not me
It's not me
It's not me

Father, Son and Holy Ghost
Say your prayers-it's your only hope
Twelve apostles can't help you now
I'll be back to stake my ground

I'm not Jesus
I can't heal you
I'm not Jesus
I can't heal you

Don't wear a crown of thorns
Got no holes in my hand
Don't accuse me of that crime
Don't hang me up to dry

I'm not Jesus
I can't heal you
I'm not Jesus
I can't heal you
I'm not Jesus
I can't heal you


Bye Bye Baby

Woke up thinking bout you today
Why does it have to be this way
We drove each other crazy
Bye bye babe

Bye bye baby
Babe bye bye

Woke up thinking bout you today
Felt sad and lonely
We drove each other crazy

Well I guess it's over and it's done
We had some good times-we had fun
We drove each other crazy
I'll always love you

Bye bye baby
Babe bye bye
Bye bye baby
Don't you cry

Bye bye baby
Babe bye bye
Bye bye baby
Don't you cry

Babe bye bye

Worm Man

I'm a worm man
I'm fed up
There's no hope
I wanna puke
I want some dirt

I'm a w-w-w-worm man

Gonna crawl in a hole
Nobody's my friend
I'm no good to anyone
I want some dirt

I'm a w-w-w-worm man

Well all right, well all right
Well all right, well all right
Well all right, well all right
Well all right...hey!

I'm no good to anyone
Nobody's my friend
I'll never be happy
I hate myself

I wish I was dead
I wish I was dead
I wish I was dead
