Nine Lives Lyrics
[Intro]
[Cats screeching]
Whoooooaaaaaaa yayeah!
[Verse 1]
Well well well
I feel just like I'm fallin in love
There's a new cool
Some kind of verbooty
It fits me like a velvet glove, yeah
And it's cool
Shu bop a doo ba
She talking to me Juba to Jive
Yeah, well, the girl's in love
No doubt about it
The moment of truth has arrived
[Bridge]
And in a wink
The funk was all around me
And I think
I'm dead in love again
[Chorus]
Nine lives, feeling lucky
Nine lives, live again
Nine lives, it ain't over
Nine lives, live for ten
[Verse 2]
I got good luck
In certain situations
I'm feeling like I hung the moon
And then at time
I'm so weak from loving
I couldn't even carry a tune, yeah
But now I'm back
Oh yes I am
I maybe fall apart at the seams
I had a nightmare
Believe me when I tell you
Nobody ever dies in their dreams
[Bridge]
Yeah, I think I need a stay of execution
In a wink, I'm dead in love again
[Chorus]
Nine lives, puss and booty
Nine lives, live again
Nine lives, it ain't over
Nine lives, live for ten
[Verse 3]
Well well well
Engine room to bombardier
Is this a dream?
I died and went to Heaven
She's enough to make you
Cry in your beer
How can a good thing
7 come 11
Slip into a fare thee well
And how can one man's
Little bit of Heaven
Turn into another man's Hell?
[Bridge]
Yeah, I think I need a stay of execution
Yeah I know, I'm dead in love again
[Chorus]
Nine lives, hello lucky
Nine lives, live again
Nine lives, it ain't over
Nine lives, try for 10
Nine lives, taking over
Nine lives, live again
Nine lives, it ain't over
Nine lives, live for 10
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah......
Nine lives, hello lucky
Nine lives, live again
Nine lives, it ain't over
Nine lives, live for 10
Falling in Love (Is Hard on the Knees) Lyrics
[Chorus 1]
You're so bad you're so bad you're so
You're so bad you're so bad you're so
[Verse 1]
You think you're in love
Like it's a real sure thing
But every time you fall
You get your ass in a sling
You used to be strong
But now it's "ooh baby please"
Because falling in love is so hard on the knees
[Chorus 1]
You're so bad you're so bad you're so
You're so bad you're so bad you're so
[Verse 2]
We was making love when you told me that you loved me
I thought ol' cupid, he was taking aim
I was believer when you told me that you loved me
And then you called me someone else's name
Yeah!
[Chorus 2]
There ain't gonna be no more begging you please
You know what I want
And it ain't one of these
You're bad to the bone
And your girlfriend agrees
That falling in love is so hard on the knees
[Chorus 1]
You're so bad you're so bad you're so
You're so bad you're so bad you're so
[Verse 3]
Chip off the old block
Man, you're so much like your sister
My fantasizin' must be outta luck
My old libido has been blowin' a transistor
I feel like I have been hit by a fuck, yeah
[Chorus 3]
I'm jonesing on love
Yeah, I got the DT's
You say that we will
But there ain't no guarantees
I'm major in love
But in all minor keys
'Cause falling in love is so hard on the knees
Yeah!
[Verse 4]
What are you looking for
It's got to be hardcore
Must be some kind of nouveau riche
Is this your only chance
Or some hypnotic trance
Let's get you on a tighter leash
Own it own it own it
[Guitar solo]
[Chorus 1]
You're so bad you're so bad you're so
You're so bad you're so bad you're so
[Verse 5]
You ain't that good
Is what you said down to the letter
But you like the way I hold the microphone
Sometimes I'm good, but when I'm bad
I'm even better
Don't give me no lip
I've got enough of my own
[Chorus 2]
There ain't gonna be no more begging you please
You know what I want
And it ain't one of these
You're bad to the bone
And your girlfriend agrees
That falling in love is so hard on the knees
[Chorus 3]
I'm jonesing on love
Yeah, I got the DT's
You say that we will
But there ain't no guarantees
I'm major in love
But in all minor keys
'Cause falling in love is so hard on the knees
Hole in My Soul Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm down a one way street
With a one night stand
With a one track mind
Out in no man's land
The punishment sometimes
Don't seem to fit the crime
Yeah, there's a hole in my soul
But one thing I learned
For every love letter written
Is another one burned
So you tell me how it's gonna be this time
[Pre-Chorus]
Is it over?
Is it over?
'Cause I'm blowing out the flame
[Chorus]
Take a walk outside your mind
Tell me how it feels to be
The one who turns the knife inside of me
Take a look, and you will find there's nothing there, girl
Yeah, I swear, I'm telling you, girl, yeah, 'cause
There's a hole in my soul that's been killing me forever
It's a place where a garden never grows
There's a hole in my soul, yeah, I should have known better
'Cause your love's like a thorn without a rose
Yeah, yeeeaaahhhh
[Verse 2]
I'm as dry as a seven-year drought
I got dust for tears
And I'm all tapped out
Sometimes I feel broke, can't get fixed
I know there's been all kinds of shoes
Underneath your bed
Now I sleep with my boots on
But you're still in my head
Something tells me this time
I'm down to my last licks
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause if it's over
Then it's over
And it's driving me insane
[Chorus]
Take a walk outside your mind
Tell me how it feels to be
The one who turns the knife inside of me
Take a look, and you will find there's nothing there
Girl, yeah, I swear, I'm telling you, girl, yeah, 'cause
There's a hole in my soul that's been killing me forever
It's a place where a garden never grows
There's a hole in my soul, yeah, I should have known better
'Cause your love's like a thorn without a rose
Yeah, yeah
Yeah
[Guitar solo]
[Bridge]
Yeah, is it over?
Yeah, it's over
And I'm blowing out the flame
[Chorus]
Take a walk outside your mind
Tell me how it feels to be
The one who turns the knife inside of me
Take a look, and you will find there's nothing there, girl
Yeah, I swear, I'm telling you, girl, yeah, 'cause
There's a hole in my soul that's been killing me forever
It's a place where a garden never grows
There's a hole in my soul, yeah, I should have known better
'Cause your love's like a thorn without a rose
Yeah, yeah
Yeahy yeah

Taste of India Lyrics
[Chorus 1]
God, I love the sweet taste of India
Lingers on the tip of my tongue
Gotta love the sweet taste of India
Blame it on the beat of the drum
[Chorus 2]
God, I love the sweet taste of India
Lingers on the tip of my tongue
Gotta know that what's gotten into ya
Any cat man do when it's done
[Verse 1]
Oh yeah, she's got that kind of love incense
That lives in her back room
And when it mixes with the funk, my friend
It turns into perfume
When you are born, you're afraid of the darkness
And then you're afraid of the light
But I'm not afraid when I dance with my shadow
This time I'm gonna get it right
To think of what I'll get tonight
Just lookin' for a little taste (a taste of India)
She'll steal the smile right off your face
Yeah
[Bridge]
Her yin and yang
Is just the thing
She's unpredictable, my friend
[Chorus 2]
God, I love the sweet taste of India
Lingers on the tip of my tongue
Gotta know that what's gotten into ya
Any cat man do when it's done
[Verse 2]
It's like your first taste love of vindaloo
That sets your heart on fire
And if you let her stuff get into you
It will be all that you desire
When you make love to a sweet tantric priestess
Drink in the bliss of delight
But I'm not afraid when I dance with her shadow
This time I'm gonna get it right
She's gonna whet my appetite
Just lookin' for a little taste (a taste of India)
She'll steal the smile right off your face
Yeah
[Bridge]
She friend of mine
She concubine
The sweetest wine
I got to make her mine
[Chorus 1]
God, I love the sweet taste of India
Lingers on the tip of my tongue
Gotta love the sweet taste of India
Blame it on the beat of the drum
[Chorus 2]
God, I love the sweet taste of India
Lingers on the tip of my tongue
Gotta know that what's gotten into ya
Any cat man do when it's done
[Outro]
Just think of what I'll get tonight
She's gonna whet my appetite
Just lookin' for a little taste (a taste of India)
She'll steal the smile right off your face
Full Circle Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah, yeah yeah
[Verse 1]
If I could change the world
Like a fairy tale
I would drink the love
From your Holy Grail
I would start with love
Tell ol' Beelzebub
To get outta town
A-cause you just lost your job
How did we get so affected ('Cause I think)
Love is love reflected
[Chorus]
Time
Don't let it slip away
Raise your drinking glass
Here's to yesterday
In time
We're all gonna trip away
Don't piss Heaven off
We got Hell to pay
Come full circle
[Verse 2]
And if
There's a spell on you that
I could take away
I would do the deed
Yeah, and by the way
A-here's to Heaven knows
As the circle goes
It ain't right
I'm uptight
Yeah, and get off my toes
I used to think that every little thing I did was crazy
But now I think the Karma cops are coming after you
[Chorus]
Time
Don't let it slip away
Raise your drinking glass
Here's to yesterday
In time
We're all gonna trip away
Don't piss Heaven off
We got Hell to pay
Come full circle
[Verse 3]
Every time you get yourself caught up inside
Of someone else's crazy dream
Own it, yeah, that's a mistake
Everybody's gotta lotta nada killing them
Instead of killing time
[Guitar solo]
[Chorus]
Time
Don't let it slip away
Raise your drinking glass
Here's to yesterday
In time
We're all gonna trip away
Don't piss Heaven off
We got Hell to pay
Time
Don't let it slip away
Raise your drinking glass
Here's to yesterday
In time
We're all gonna trip away
Don't piss Heaven off
We got Hell to pay
Come full circle
[Outro]
Circle, circle, circle, circle, circle, circle, circle
Time
Don't let it slip away
Raise your drinking glass
Here's to yesterday
In time
We're all gonna trip away
Don't piss Heaven off
We got Hell to pay
Come full circle
Something’s Gotta Give Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Cyberotic head explode
Information overload
And I just can't take anymore
And I'm gonna break
[Chorus]
Somethin' gotta give
Tell me when to turn the screw
Does the noise in my head bother you?
Somethin's gotta give
Comic books are coming true
Does the noise in my head bother you?
[Bridge]
Digerotic mass appeal
Feels like flesh but tastes unreal
And I'm going to break
[Chorus]
Somethin's got to give
Tell me when to turn the screw
Does the noise in my head bother you?
Somethin's got to give
Don't you like it, tell me true
Does the noise in my head bother you?
Somethin's got to give
Hold your breath until you turn blue
Does the noise in my head bother you?
Somethin's got to give
Comic books are coming true
Does the noise in my head bother you?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
If love that seemed to fall from grace
Was sittin' on your interface
Your megahertz she can't forgive
Your love, it died before you ever lived
[Chorus]
Somethin's got to give
Tell me when to turn the screw
Does the noise in my head bother you?
Somethin's got to give
Don't you like it, tell me true
Does the noise in my head bother you?
Somethin's got to give
Hold your breath until you turn blue
Does the noise in my head bother you?
Somethin's got to give
Comic books are coming true
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Does the noise in my head bother you?
Ain’t That a Bitch Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Up in smoke you've lost another lover
As you take your hit off your last cigarette, yeah
Strung out, burn out
Yeah you're down on your luck
And you don't give a huh
Until the best part of you starts to twitch
Ain't that a bitch
[Chorus]
Freak out! I'm alone now
I feel just like I'm losin' my mind
Because love is like the right dress
On the wrong girl
You never know what you're gonna find
You think you're high and fine as wine
Then you wind up like a dog in a ditch
Because love is like a wrong turn
On a cold night, yeah
Ain't that a bitch, yeah
Ain't that a bitch, yeah yeah...
[Verse 2]
In a daze
In the throes of emotion
You see God in the Devil's eyes
Then you fall so far from grace
You wouldn't know a kiss
If it was on your face
You can tell it to the jury
But you ain't got no case
[Chorus]
Freak out! I'm alone now
I feel just like I'm losin' my mind
Because love is like the right dress
On the wrong girl
You never know what you're gonna find
The gal was fine as calamine but not
Enough to scratch a seven year itch
'Cause love is like the last licks
Outta Hendrix, yeah
Ain't that a bitch, yeah
Ain't that a bitch
[Guitar solo]
[Verse 3]
Then you feel so out of place
Lickin' up the arsenic
From the same old lace
You know the stuff is poison
But you got to have a taste
You got to
[Chorus]
Freak out! I'm alone now
I feel just like I'm losin' my mind
Because love is like the right dress
On the wrong girl
You never know what you're gonna find
You think you're high and fine as wine
Then you wind up with your face in a ditch
Because love is like a warm gun
On a cold night, yeah
Ain't that a bitch, yeah
Ain't that a bitch, yeah
[Tyler scat sings]
Ain't that a bitch
The Farm Lyrics
[Intro]
It's not a place you can get to by a boat or a train
It's far, far away, behind the moon, beyond the rain
Toto, I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore
Oaahh!
[Verse 1]
A-there's a cockroach in my coffee
There's a needle in my arm
A-and I feel like New York Cittay
A-get me to the farm
[Chorus]
A-get me to the farm
A-get me to the farm
Somebody get me to the farm
[Verse 2]
I got terminal uniqueness
I'm an egocentric man
I get caught up in my freakness
But I ain't no Peter Pan
Get me to the farm
[Chorus]
A-get me to the farm
A-get me to the farm
Get me
[Verse 3]
Buckle up straight jack
Sanity is such a drag
Jellybean thorazine
Transcendental jet lag
Sanity I ain't gotta
Feeling like a piñata
Sucker punch
Blowing lunch
Motherload
Pigeonholed
I'm feeling like I'm going to explode
[Guitar solo]
Yeah, I wanna shave my head
I want to be a Hare Krishna
Tattoo a dot right on my head
And the Prozac is my fixer
I am the livin' dead
Follow the yellow brick road
Follow the yellow brick road
[Audio samples from "Wizard of Oz"]
[Chorus]
A-take me to the farm
A-take me to the farm
Somebody get me to the farm
Somebody get me to the farm
Take me to the farm
A-take me to the farm
Somebody get me to the farm
Somebody get me to the farm
Take me to the farm
Take me to the farm
Take me to the farm
Take me to the farm
Take me to the farm
Take me to the farm
Take me to the farm
Take me to the farm
Take me to the farm
Take me to the farm
A-take me to the farm
Somebody get me to the farm
[Outro]
And I'm sure to get a brain
A heart
A home
The nerve
Crash Lyrics
[Intro]
Dum da na da na
You said you can't find anything better to do
(You drive me crazy, yeah)
[Verse 1]
Sittin' on a castle
On the floor with Esmeralda
Waitin' for the geezer
Captain Crunch to come around
Feelin' suicidal 'cause of certain situation
Hangin' from the stairs too long
I think I'm comin' down
[Chorus]
It's time to crash
Losin' my mind. losin' my mind, losin' my mind
Yeah, it's time to crash. (crash, yeah)
It's time to crash
(Losin' my mind, losin' my mind, losin' my mind)
Losin' my mind, it's time to crash (crash, yeah)
[Verse 2]
Doin' tons of colon blow
Stuffing it in every hole
Mile high and so am I
Watching Jimi kiss the sky
Salle diner becomes a blur
With everybody jammin'
Republicans begin to sin
The batwings start a slammin'
[Chorus]
It's time to crash
(Losin' my mind, losin' my mind, losin' my mind)
It's time to crash (crash, yeah)
Crash
It's time to
Losin' my mind, losin' my mind, losin' my mind
Yeah, maybe it's a little late, but it's time to crash (crash, yeah)
You drive me crazy
You drive me crazy
You drive me crazy
[Guitar solo]
[Verse 3]
Captain Billy Beamish
Put a lamb up on a rack
Thanks for coming, Billy
And we hope you're comin' back
The castle will be waiting
For the next bangers and mash
Blanche and Marsha Reznick
Put their marmite with their hash... ha ha ha
[Chorus]
Crash
Losin' my mind, losin' my mind, losin' my mind
And it's time to crash (crash, yeah)
Uumm, crash
Losin' my mind, losin' my mind, losin' my mind
Well, crash (crash, yeah)
It's time to crash
Losin' my mind, losin' my mind, losin' my mind, losin' my mind
Losin' my mind, losin' my mind, losin' my mind, losin' my mind
Losin' my mind, losin' my mind, losin' my mind, losin' my mind
Losin' my mind
[Solos]
Kiss Your Past Good‐Bye Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Finders keepers, losers weep
Down on 42nd Street
All barefoot children crying my-oh-my
I watched you on the avenue
While other men were havin' you
I think that you should let your caged bird fly
[Chorus]
And kiss your past goodbye
A-kiss your past goodbye
A-kss your past goodbye, yeah
Kiss your past goodbye
[Verse 2]
I been so lost I must confess
I had my share of loneliness
But yeah, it's hard to keep a good man down
The loves you lost were all in vain
The past lives on inside your brain
I don't think you need those memories
Hangin' around, yeah
[Chorus]
Goodbye
Kiss your past goodbye
You gotta let it fly
Kiss your past goodbye, yeah
Yeah yeah
[Guitar solo]
(Kiss your past goodbye)
(Ooo, kiss your past goodbye)
[Bridge]
And if that bird don't fly away
There just one thing I got to say
[Verse 3]
It's later than a deuce of ticks
Your broken heart, it needs a fix
You're feedin' off a high that would not last
And people, they don't seem to care
And sorry just don't cut it, yeah
It seems to me you're gettin' nowhere fast
So kiss your past
[Chorus]
Or kiss your ass goodbye
Kiss your past goodbye
There's no more tears to cry, yeah
So kiss your past goodbye
Kiss your past goodbye
[Outro]
Or kiss your ass goodbye
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah!
Pink Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Pink, it's my new obsession, yeah
Pink, it's not even a question
Pink on the lips of your lover (ooo)
'Cause pink is the love you discover
[Verse 2]
Pink, as the bing on your cherry
Pink, 'cause you are so very
Pink, it's the color of passion
'Cause today it just goes with the fashion
[Chorus]
Pink, it was love at first sight
Yeah, pink when I turn out the light
And pink gets me high as a kite
And I think everything is going to be all right
No matter what we do tonight
[Verse 3]
You could be my flamingo
'Cause pink is the new kinda lingo
Pink, like a deco umbrella
Yeah, it's kink, but you don't ever tell her, yeah
[Chorus]
Pink, it was love at first sight
Yeah, pink when I turn out the light
Yeah, pink gets me high as a kite
And I think everything is going to be all right
No matter what we do tonight
[Bridge]
Ahhhhhh, yeah
Ahhhhhh, yeah
Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh
[Verse 4]
I... want to be your lover
I... want to wrap you in rubber
As pink as the sheets that we lay on
'Cause pink, it's my favorite crayon, yeah
[Chorus]
Pink, it was love at first sight
Yeah! Pink when I turn out the light
Yeah, pink, it's like red but not quite
And I think everything is going to be all right
No matter what we do tonight
Falling Off Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was a young man
Whose Intentions were good
Kept my hands in my pockets
The way that I should
I soon found out
They got a mind of their own
Beginning to think
I had a heart ade of stone
[Chorus]
I keep falling off
I keep falling off
I keep falling off
I keep falling off
[Verse 2]
I try to remember
I try to forget
I'll keep my promise
Is that what I said
I had your number
But I didn't call
I got no excuse
I got my back to the wall
[Chorus]
I keep falling off
I keep falling off
I keep falling off
I keep falling off
[Verse 3]
My eyes don't want to see
My ears don't want to hear
The things that make me feel
That keep me so endeared to you
It makes me think
Is that the best that I can do
It doesn't matter
The time that I fall
I'm up for the next one
Like I'm 10 feet tall
[Chorus]
I keep falling off
I keep falling off
I keep falling off
I keep falling off
I keep falling off
I keep falling off
I keep falling off
I keep falling off
Attitude Adjustment Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This girl that I knew
She loved me and blew me away
We made love, no doubt
But she never went out of her way
Yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep wonderin', I keep wonderin' why
Do the wings of your butterfly
Lightnin' thunder
I keep wondering why
[Chorus]
Hey, I think you need an attitude adjustment
Knock-down drag out
I got to make myself a latitude adjustment
With or without
[Verse 2]
I was rather naive
So I didn't believe when you said
"Our love is in jail"
Honey, you hit the nail on the head
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I keep wonderin', I keep wonderin' why
Do the wings of your butterfly
Lightnin', thunder
It ain't no wonder why
[Chorus]
Hey, I think you need an attitude adjustment
Knock-down drag out
Don't you ever, baby, wonder where the lust went
With or without
[Guitar solo]
[Verse 3]
Now I know what it is
A-cause I know what you are
No more cryin' eyes, my friend
Excuse fuckin' moi
No more wonderin'
I got news for you
[Chorus]
Hey, I think you need an attitude adjustment
Knock-down drag out
I gotta make myself a latitude adjustment
I'm headin' south
[Outro]
Yeah, I think you need an attitude adjustment
From inside out
Fallen Angels Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There's a candle burnin' in the world tonight
For 'nother child who vanished out of sight
And a heart is broken, another prayer in vain
There's a million tears that fill a sea of pain
Sometimes I stare out my window
My thoughts all drift into space
Sometimes I wonder if there's a better place
[Chorus]
(Tell me)
Where do fallen angels go?
I just don't know
Where do fallen angels go?
They keep fallin'
[Verse 2]
Now the times is frightenin'
Can't ignore the facts
There's so many people
Just slippin' through the cracks
So many ashes are scattered
So many rivers run dry
Sometimes your Heaven is Hell, and you don't know why
[Chorus]
(So listen)
Where do fallen angels go?
I just don't know (I just don't know)
Where do fallen angels go?
They keep fallin', fallin', fallin'
Yeah
[Bridge]
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Somewhere out there there's a shinin' light
And I got to be with you tonight
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
And with all we're nowhere
We still pay the price
Yeah, the Devil seems to get his way
In downtown paradise, yeah
[Chorus]
Where do fallen angels go?
I just don't know (I just don't know)
Where do fallen angels go?
They keep fallin', fallin', fallin', yeah
Where do fallen angels go?
(Tell me)
I just don't know (I just don't know)
Where do fallen angels go?
They keep fallin', fallin', fallin', yeah
[Outro]
There's a candle burnin'
