Lyrics--Love and Rockets

     Love and Rockets


     ****(Jungle Law)

     Deep down in the city 'neath the concrete trees
     Some signifying hack is scratching backs for fleas
     Putting on their bad mouths for poor little me
     Spreading ugly lies like it's some horrible disease

     He said that I said what I never did said
     But I said that it's rare that it's over your head
     Ask me a question, then print a lie
     I cancelled all appointments having vowed that he will die

     So I went to find the source of this malitious dirt
     Having reread the words and wiped the blood from my shirt
     When I found him he was sitting high up in a tree
     With one bloody finger on a typewriter key

     Sky is gray and the grass unseen
     And you're the dumbest **** this city's ever seen
     He was laughing, shaking, high up in a tree
     But then he lost his balance and he fell down on his knees

     So I leapt on that mother my anger to appease
     When I grabbed him by the throat, he said "Oh spare me please"
     Sure as gullible as my name I let him go back to the trees
     And straight away the poisons flowing freely from the keys

     The sky is grey and the grass unseen
     And he's still the dumbest **** this concrete jungle's ever seen
     That mother he was laughing, bathing in the heat
     But then he slipped again and landed in the street

     Deep down in the city 'neath the concrete trees
     Nobody's seen that mother high in the fleas
     But there's a new one in the obituaries
     And it shows four stars where the name oughta be

     No Big Deal

     You set me up again
     You make me lose my friends
     I just don't know what I'm gonna do with you

     Your feet are still on the ground
     So you put me down
     I just don't know what I'm gonna do with you

     I don't feel...
     You're no big deal
     No big deal

     I got into a fight
     Got into it tonight
     I just don't know what I'm gonna do with you

     You talk much to loud
     When you put me down
     I just don't know what I'm gonna do with you

     I don't feel...
     You're no big deal

     You know you broke my heart
     And that was just the start
     I just don't know what I'm gonna do with you

     You know you broke my heart
     And that was just the start
     I know just what I should do for you

     I tell you
     I don't feel...
     You're big deal
     No big deal

     The Purest Blue

     Look at me...
     Searching for...
     The purest blue...
     The purest blue...
     When you're ready...
     To need more...
     Take a glimpse...
     Behind the veil...
     Behind the veil...
     The purest blue...

     Motorcycle

     Me and the motorcycle
     Me and the motorbike
     We just running around
     My feet are off the ground
     She's not gonna let me down
     She's not gonna let me down

     Me and this motorcycle
     Me and this motorbike
     You don't go too fast
     You just set me free
     It don't go too fast
     Just let me out
     Let me out

     AHHHH - Motorcycle
     AHHHH - We are free

     I feel warm inside
     On the motorbike
     The wind is all around
     On the motorbike
     We are free
     The motorcycle and me
     The motorcycle and me
     The motorcycle and me

     I Feel Speed

     Motorcycle and me
     Motorcycle set me free
     The motorbike don't go to fast
     Just sets me free
     Just you and me
     You set me free
     Just you and me
     You set me high
     High...
     I feel warm inside
     On my motorcycle
     The wind is all around
     We are free
     Me and the motorcycle
     We...
     We are free
     You set me high
     High...
     You set me high

     Bound for Hell

     Well, faith flies off the mountain everyday
     No parachute, and no prayers to say
     Yes, my faith flies off a mountain everyday
     And there's no parachute, no goddamn prayers to say
     Fly the little monkey up a telegraph pole
     Sending out a signal to somebody, somebody
     Somebody, please somebody

     I want to hear a song that makes me believe in something
     I want to hear a song that makes me believe something
     I want to hear a song that makes me believe
     There's something to believe in
     I want to hear a song that makes me believe

     Had a dream...

     I was riding on a train that wasn't bound for glory
     Riding on a train, the train was bound for hell
     Riding on a train that wasn't bound for glory, that's for sure
     Riding on a train that's bound for hell

     The engine with human blood was damp
     The headlight was her brimstone lamp
     And then for fuel I shoveled in bones
     and the furnace roared with a thousand groans

     The tank was filled with lager beer
     The devil himself was engineer
     The passengers were a mixed up crew
     Churchmen, atheists, Baptists too

     The rich in broadcloth, poor in rags
     Handsome girls, wrinkled hags
     Black men, yellow, red and white
     Chained together, fearful sight

     The train rushed on at an awful  pace
     The sulfer fumes burned hands and face
     Wilder and wilder the country grew
     Faster and faster the engine flew

     Loud and terrible thunder crashed
     Whiter brighter lightning flashed
     Hotter still the air became
     So clothes were burned from each shrinking frame

     There came a fearfull ear-splitting yell...
     Yell Satan: "Can't stop,  next stop's hell"
     Twas then the passengers shrieked with pain
     And begged the devil to stop the train
     Stop this train

     He shrieked and roared, and grinned with glee
     And mocked and laughed at their misery
     "My friends you've bought your seats on this road,
     I've got to get through with a complete load"

     You've bullied the weak, you've cheated the poor
     The starving tramp, you turned from the door
     You've laid up gold till your purses burst
     You've given way to your  beastly lust

     You've balked at god in your hell blown pride
     You've killed and you've cheated, and plundered and lied
     You've double crossed men and you've swore and you've stole
     Not a one in body and soul (that is virgin?)
     Body and soul

     So you've paid full fare and I'll carry you through
     If there's one don't belong I'd like to know who
     And here's the time when I ain't no liar
     I'll land you all safe in a land of fire
     And your flesh will scorch in the flames that roar
     You'll sizzle and burn from rind to core

     And I awoke with a shrilly cry
     My were clothes were wet, my hair stood high
     And I prayed as I've never until that hour
     To be saved from hell and the devil's power

     At present my vows were not in vain
     That I payed no fare on that hellbound train


     The Teardrop Collector

     I'll wipe these tears from your eyes
     I'll wipe these tears, make you feel alright
     And you can watch the world go around
     So you woke up one morning
     Found everything changed
     So you woke up one morning
     Found you had to rearrange your life
     You know you can make it
     If you don't love someone why not fake it?
     And if you love someone why chain them to you?
     You know you'll never make it
     So now you finally realize
     Sometimes you just gotta let love pass you by
     And watch the world go around
     And it's alright

     So Alive

     I don't know what colour your eyes are, baby
     But your hair is long and brown
     Your legs are strong, and you're so, so long
     And you don't come from this town

     My head is full of magic, baby
     And I can share this with you
     The feel I'm on a cross again, lately
     But it's nothing to do with you

     I'm alive
     Oh Oh, so alive
     I'm alive
     Oh Oh, so alive

     This drug makes me crazy
     Makes me see you more clearly.
     Oh, baby, now I can see you.
     Wish I could stop,
     Switch off the clock,
     Make it all happen for you.

     I'm alive
     Oh Oh, so alive
     I'm alive
     Oh Oh, so alive

     OOOOH
     OOOOH

     Don't know what colour your eyes are, baby
     But your hair is long and brown
     Your legs are strong, and you're so, so long
     And you don't come from this town

     My head is full of magic, baby
     And I can share this with you
     The feel I'm on top again, baby
     That's got everything to do with you

     I'm alive
     Oh Oh, so alive
     I'm alive
     Oh Oh, so alive

     Rock and Roll Babylon

     All those Elvis records
     Circling the earth
     I think I've said four times over
     Were you present at the birth?

     Twinkle, twinkle, little star
     How we wonder what you are
     Spin a web of dreams
     And die for us on a cross of pills
     Your not too dumb to see
     A manager of schools of thought,
     Parasites who scheme
     I'm writing up the holocaust
     Of all those broken dreams

     Rock and Roll Babylon on the brink
     Gives a little slap come on, wink
     To beckon the stars down from the sky
     Rock and Roll Babylon on the brink
     Gives a little slap come on, wink
     To beckon the stars down from the sky

     Can you hear me Lady Diamond
     In your home from home?
     When your mommy calls you in
     Are you oblivious to the throne?
     That the farm's reserved for you,
     The effigy's in stone
     We loved you Lady Diamond
     Though we lost you in the zone

     Tightrope walker
     Take all our chances for us
     Tightrope walker
     Take all our chances for us
     Oh come on and be a tightrope walker
     Take all our chances for us
     Tightrope walker
     Take all our chances

     Who killed Johny Moondog
     Was the assassin you and me?
     To oversell the antidote,
     Or is it down to Jack and Jerry Lee?
     If you bite a chunk out of the moon,
     Will it help you see?

     No Words No More

     Even the laziest devil
     Sits on your youth and you cry
     He watches your mistakes
     Until the day you die
     And then someone appears to assist you
     This one puts a different doubt in your mind

     No words, no words, no words no more
     No words, no words, no words no reasons why
     No words, no words, no words no more
     I need no words, no words, no words no reasons why

     Some people like to swim in pools under blue sky
     Some people further down the road than you and I
     They like the blue light, the light I always find
     Some people further down the road than you and I

     They say: no words, no words, no words no more
     No words, no words, no words no reasons why
     No words, no words, no words no more
     I need no words, no words, no words no reasons why
