Welcome to the Jungle Lyrics

[Intro]

Oh my God

Ooh-ooh

Cha

[Verse 1]

Welcome to the jungle, we got fun and games

We got everything you want, honey, we know the names

We are the people that can find whatever you may need

If you got the money, honey, we got your disease

[Chorus]

In the jungle, welcome to the jungle (Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah)

Watch it bring you to your sha-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-knees, knees

Mwah, I, I wanna watch you bleed

[Verse 2]

Welcome to the jungle, we take it day by day

If you want it, you're gonna bleed, but it's the price you pay

And you're a very sexy girl, who's very hard to please

You can taste the bright lights, but you won't get there for free

[Chorus]

In the jungle, welcome to the jungle (Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah)

Feel my, my, my, my serpentine

Oh, ah, I wanna hear you scream

[Interlude]

*Moaning*

[Verse 3]

Welcome to the jungle, it gets worse here everyday

You learn to live like an animal in the jungle where we play

If you got a hunger for what you see, you'll take it eventually

You can have anything you want, but you better not take it from me

[Chorus]

In the jungle, welcome to the jungle (Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah)

Watch it bring you to your sha-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-knees, knees

Mwah, I'm gonna watch you bleed

[Bridge]

And when you're high, you never

Ever want to come down

So down, so down, so down

Yeah, now

[Guitar Solo]

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

You know where you are?

You're in the jungle, baby

You're gonna die

[Chorus]

In the jungle, welcome to the jungle (Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah)

Watch it bring you to your sha-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-knees, knees

In the jungle, welcome to the jungle

Feel my, oh my, my, my serpentine

Jungle, welcome to the jungle (Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah)

Watch it bring you to your sha-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-knees, knees

[Outro]

Down in the jungle, welcome to the jungle (Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah)

Watch it bring you to your

It's going to bring you down

Huh

It’s So Easy Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I see your sister in her Sunday dress

She's out to please, she pouts her best

She's out to take, no need to try

She's ready to make

[Chorus]

It's so easy, easy

When everybody's tryin' to please me, baby

It's so easy, easy

When everybody's tryin' to please me

[Verse 2]

Cars are crashin' every night

I drink and drive everything's in sight

I make the fire, but I miss the firefight

I hit the bullseye every night

[Chorus]

It's so easy, easy

When everybody's tryin' to please me, baby

Yeah, it's so easy, easy

When everybody's trying to please me

[Post-Chorus]

It's so easy

But nothin' seems to please me

It all fits so right

When I fade into the night

See me hit you, you fall down, huh

[Verse 3]

I see you standin' there

You think you're so cool

Why don't you just

Fuck off?

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]

You get nothin' for nothin' if that's what you do

Turn around, bitch, I got a use for you

Besides, you ain't got nothin' better to do

And I'm bored

[Chorus]

It's so easy, easy

When everybody's tryin' to please me, baby

It's so easy, easy

When everybody's tryin' to please me

[Post-Chorus]

It's so easy

But nothin' seems to please me

It all fits so right

When I fade into the night

So come with me

Don't ask me where 'cause I don't know

I'll try to please you

I ain't got no money, but it goes to show

[Chorus]

It's so easy, so fucking easy

It's so easy, so damn easy

It's so easy, oh, so fuckin' easy

It's so easy, yeah, so easy

[Outro]

It's so easy, so fuckin' easy

It's so easy, yeah!

Nightrain Lyrics

[Intro]

Loaded like a freight train

Flyin' like an aeroplane

Feelin' like a space brain

One more time tonight, look out!

[Verse 1]

Well, I'm a west coast struttin' one bad mother

Got a rattlesnake suitcase under my arm

Said I'm a mean machine, been drinkin' gasoline

And honey, you can make my motor hum

Well, I got one chance left in a nine lives cat

I got a, a dog-eat-dog sly smile

I got a Molotov cocktail with a match to go

I smoke my cigarette with style

And I can tell you, honey

You can make my money tonight, rrah!

[Verse 2]

Wake up late, honey, put on your clothes

And take your credit card to the liquor store

Well, that's one for you and two for me by tonight

[Pre-Chorus]

I'll be loaded like a freight train

Flyin' like an aeroplane

Feelin' like a space brain

One more time tonight

[Chorus]

I'm on the nightrain, bottoms up

I'm on the nightrain, fill my cup

I'm on the nightrain, ready to crash and burn

I never learn

I'm on the nightrain, I love that stuff

I'm on the nightrain, and I can never get enough

I'm on the nightrain, never to return, no

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]

Loaded like a freight train

Flyin' like an aeroplane

Speedin' like a space brain

One more time tonight

[Chorus]

I'm on the nightrain, and I'm lookin' for some

I'm on the nightrain, so I can leave this slum

I'm on the nightrain, and I'm ready to crash and burn

Nightrain, bottoms up

I'm on the nightrain, fill my cup

I'm on the nightrain, ah, ah, ah, ah, woah, yeah

I'm on the nightrain, love that stuff

Oh, I'm on the nightrain, and I can never get enough

Ridin' the nightrain, I guess, I

I guess, I guess, I guess I never learn

On the nightrain, float me home

Oh, I'm on the nightrain

Ridin' the nightrain, never to return

Nightrain

[Guitar Solo]

Out ta Get Me Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Been hidin' out and layin' low

It's nothin' new to me

Well, you can always find a place to go

If you can keep your sanity

[Pre-Chorus]

They break down the doors and they rape my rights, but

They won't touch me

They scream and yell, and fight all night

You can't tell me

I lose my head, I close my eyes

They won't touch me

'Cause I got somethin' I been buildin' up inside

For so fuckin' long

[Chorus]

They're out ta get me

They won't catch me

I'm fuckin' innocent

They won't break me

[Verse 2]

Sometimes it's easy to forget where you're goin'

Sometimes it's harder to leave

And every time you think you know just what you're doin'

That's when your troubles exceed

[Pre-Chorus]

They push me in a corner just to get me to fight, but

They won't touch me

They preach and yell, and fight all night

You can't tell me

I lose my head, I close my eyes

They won't touch me

'Cause I got somethin' I been buildin' up inside

I'm already gone

[Chorus]

They're out ta get me

They won't catch me

'Cause I'm innocent

They won't break me

[Bridge]

No-woah-woah

No-oh

No-no-no

No-oh, woah

No-oh-oh

No-no-no

Lemme see ya try

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

Some people got a chip on their shoulder

And some would say it was me

But I didn't buy that fifth of whiskey that you gave me

So I'd be quick to disagree

[Outro]

They're out ta get me

They won't catch me

I'm fuckin' innocent

They won't break me

They're out ta get me

They won't catch me

'Cause I'm innocent

So you can suck me

Take that one to heart

Mr. Brownstone Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

I get up around seven

Get outta bed around nine

And I don't worry about nothin', no

Because worrying's a waste of my time

[Verse 2]

Show usually starts around seven

We go on stage around nine

Get on the bus about eleven

Sippin' a drink and feelin' fine

[Chorus]

We've been dancin' with Mr. Brownstone

He's been knockin', he won't leave me alone

No, no, no, oh, he won't leave me alone

[Bridge]

I used to do a little, but a little wouldn't do it

So the little got more and more

I just keep tryin' to get a little better

Said a little better than before

I used to do a little, but a little wouldn't do it

So the little got more and more

I just keep tryin' to get a little better

Said a little better than before

[Chorus]

We've been dancin' with Mr. Brownstone

He's been knockin', he won't leave me alone

No, no, no, oh, he won't leave me alone

Wow

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

Now I get up around whenever

I used to get up on time

But that old man, he's a real motherfucker

Gonna kick him on down the line

[Bridge]

I used to do a little, but a little wouldn't do it

So the little got more and more

I just keep tryin' to get a little better

Said a little better than before

I used to do a little, but a little wouldn't do it

So the little got more and more

I just keep tryin' to get a little better

Said a little better than before

[Chorus]

We've been dancin' with Mr. Brownstone

He's been knockin', he won't leave me alone

No, no, no, oh, he won't leave me alone, never

Oh, leave me alone

[Outro]

Stuck it in the bindle, and I shot it in the middle

And it, it drove me outta my mind

I shoulda known better, said I wish I never met her

Said I, I leave it all behind

Yowza

Paradise City Lyrics

[Chorus]

Take me down to the Paradise City

Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty

Take me home (Oh, won't you please take me home?)

Take me down to the Paradise City

Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty

Take me home (Oh, won't you please take me home?)

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 1]

Just a' urchin livin' under the street, I'm a

Hard case that's tough to beat

I'm your charity case, so buy me somethin' to eat

I'll pay you at another time

Take it to the end of the line

[Verse 2]

Rags to riches, or so they say, you gotta

Keep pushin' for the fortune and fame

You know it's- it's all a gamble when it's just a game

You treat it like a capital crime

Everybody's doin' the time

[Chorus]

Take me down to the Paradise City

Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty

Oh, won't you please take me home? Yeah, yeah

Take me down to the Paradise City

Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty

Take me home

[Verse 3]

Strapped in the chair of the city's gas chamber

Why I'm here, I can't quite remember

The Surgeon General says it's hazardous to breathe

I'd have another cigarette, but I can't see

Tell me who you're gonna believe

[Chorus]

Take me down to the Paradise City

Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty

Take me home, yeah, yeah

Take me down to the Paradise City

Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty

Oh, won't you please take me home? Yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

So far away

[Verse 4]

Captain America's been torn apart, now

He's a court jester with a broken heart

He said, "Turn me around and take me back to the start"

I must be losin' my mind, "Are you blind?"

I've seen it all a million times

[Chorus]

Take me down to the Paradise City

Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty

Take me home, yeah, yeah

Take me down to the Paradise City

Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty

Oh, won't you please take me home?

Take me down to the Paradise City

Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty

Take me home, yeah, yeah

Take me down to the Paradise City

Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty

Oh, won't you please take me home?

[Interlude]

Home

[Bridge]

(Oh) I wanna go, I wanna know

Oh, won't you please take me home?

I wanna see how good it can be

Oh, won't you please take me home?

[Chorus]

Take me down to the Paradise City

Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty

Take me home (Oh, won't you please take me home)

Take me down to the Paradise City

Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty

Oh, won't you please take me home?

Take me down (Oh, yeah), meet me 'round

Oh, won't you please take me home? (Home)

I wanna see (Oh, yeah), how good it can be (Oh, yeah)

Oh, won't you please take me home?

I wanna see, ooh, how good it can be

Oh, oh, take me home

Take me down to the Paradise City

Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty

Oh, won't you please take me home? (Oh, won't you, oh, won't you take me home)

I wanna know (I wanna know), I wanna know (I wanna know)

[Outro]

Oh, won't you please take me home?

Yeah, baby

Please

My Michelle Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

Your daddy works in porno, now that mommy's not around

She used to love her heroin, but now she's underground

So, you stay out late at night, and you do your coke for free

Drivin' your friends crazy with your life's insanity

[Chorus]

Well, well, well, you just can't tell

Well, well, well, my Michelle

Look out

[Verse 2]

Sowin’ all your wild oats in another's luxuries

Yesterday was Tuesday, maybe Thursday you can sleep

But school starts much too early, and this hotel wasn't free

So party till your connection calls, honey, I'll return the key

[Chorus]

Well, well, well, you just can't tell

Well, well, well, my Michelle

Well, well, well, you never can tell

Well, well, well, my Michelle

[Bridge]

Everyone needs love

You know that it's true

Someday you'll find someone that'll fall in love with you

But, oh, the time it takes

When you're all alone

Someday you'll find someone that you can call your own

But till then ya better!

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

Now you're clean and so discreet, I won't say a word

But most of all, this song is true, case you haven't heard

So c'mon and stop your cryin', we both know money burns

Honey, don't stop tryin', and you'll get what you deserve

[Chorus]

Well, well, well, you just can't tell

Well, well, well, my Michelle

Well, well, well, you never can tell

Well, well, well, my Michelle, yeah

[Outro]

My, my, my Michelle

Ooh, my, my, my Michelle

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my Michelle

Michelle

Think About You Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Cha! I said, “Baby, you been lookin' real good”

You know that I remember when we met

It's funny how I never felt so good

It's a feelin' that I know, I know I'll never forget

[Bridge]

Ooh, it was the best time I can remember

Ooh, and the love we shared

Lovin' that'll last forever

[Verse 2]

Ow, there wasn't much in this heart of mine

There was a little left, and, babe, you found it

It's funny how I never felt so high

It's a feeling that I know, I know I'll never forget

[Pre-Chorus]

Ooh, it was the best time I can remember

Ooh, and the love we shared

Lovin' that'll last forever

[Chorus]

I think about you, honey, all the time, my heart says, “Yes”

I think about you, deep inside, I love you best

I think about you, you know you're the one I want

I think about you, darling, you're the only one

I think about you, yeah!

Hahaha!

[Guitar solo]

[Post-Chorus]

I think about you, you know that I do

I think about you, all alone, only you

I think about you, ooh-oh, it's true

I think about you, oh, yes, I do

[Verse 3]

Somethin' changed in this heart of mine

You know that I'm so glad that you showed me

Honey, now you're my best friend

I wanna stay together till the very end

[Pre-Chorus]

Ooh, it was the best time I can remember

Ooh, and the love we shared

Lovin' that'll last forever

[Chorus]

I think about you, honey, all the time, my heart says, “Yes”

I think about you, deep inside, I love you best

I think about you, you know you're the one I want

I think about you, darling, you're the only one

[Outro]

I think about you, oh-oh yeah

I think about you, oh you

I think about you

Only you

I think about you, you know I do

Sweet Child o’ Mine Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro/Guitar Riff]

[Verse 1]

She's got a smile that it seems to me

Reminds me of childhood memories

Where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky (Sky)

Now and then when I see her face

She takes me away to that special place

And if I stared too long, I'd probably break down and cry

[Chorus]

Woah, oh, oh

Sweet child o' mine

Woah, oh, oh, oh

Sweet love of mine

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]

She's got eyes of the bluest skies

As if they thought of rain

I'd hate to look into those eyes and see an ounce of pain

Her hair reminds me of a warm, safe place

Where, as a child, I'd hide

And pray for the thunder and the rain to quietly pass me by

[Chorus]

Woah, oh, oh

Sweet child o' mine

Woah woah, oh, oh, oh

Sweet love of mine

[Instrumental Break]

Ooh!

[Chorus]

Oh, oh-oh-yeah

Woah, yeah

Woah, oh, h-o

Sweet child of mine

Woah-oh, woah-oh

Sweet love of mine

Woah, oh-oh-oh

Sweet child of mine, ooh, yeah

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Sweet love of mine

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]

Where do we go?

Where do we go now?

Where do we go?

Mm-mm, oh, where do we go?

Where do we go now?

Oh, where do we go now? (Where do we go?)

Where do we go? (Sweet child of mine)

Mm-huh, where do we go now?

Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye (Where do we go? Where do we go?)

Ooh, where do we go now? (Where do we go?)

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, woah

Where do we go?

Oh-oh, where do we go now?

(Oh) Where do we go, oh-oh-oh-oh? (Oh, wow)

Where do we go now?

Where do we go?

Woah-oh, where do we go now?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no

Sweet child

Sweet child of mine

You’re Crazy Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I've been looking for a trace

Looking for a heart

Looking for a lover in a world

That's much too dark

[Pre-Chorus]

You don't want my love

You want satisfaction, ooh yeah

You don't need my love

You got to find yourself another piece of the action, yeah, ha ha ha

[Verse 2]

Said where you going

What you gonna do?

I've been looking everywhere

I've been looking for you

[Pre-Chorus]

You don't want my love

You want satisfaction, I've got your satisfaction

You don't need my love

You got to find yourself another piece of the action

[Chorus]

‘Cause you're crazy, crazy

You're fucking crazy, oh my

You know you're crazy, oh child

I said you're crazy, ay, ay, yeah

Uh yeah, aow, oh!

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

Say, boy, where you coming from?

Where would you get that point of view?

When I was younger

Said I knew someone like you

[Pre-Chorus]

And they said, "You don't want my love"

You want satisfaction, yeah

You don't need my love

You've got to find yourself another piece of the action

[Chorus]

'Cause you're crazy, hey hey

You're fucking crazy, oh my

You know you're crazy, oh child

I said you're crazy

Oh, you're crazy

You know you're crazy

Well, you're crazy

You know you're crazy, oh

[Outro]

You know you are

Bring it down

You're fuckin' crazy

Anything Goes Lyrics

[Intro]

Oh-oh-oh, ow

[Verse 1]

I been thinkin' 'bout, thinkin' 'bout sex

Always hungry for somethin' that I haven't had yet

Well maybe, baby, you got somethin' to lose

Well, I got somethin', I got somethin' for you

[Chorus]

My way, your way, anything goes tonight

My way, your way, anything goes to—

[Verse 2]

Panties 'round your knees with your ass in debris

Doin' that grind with a push and squeeze

Tied up, tied down, up against the wall

Be my Rubbermaid, baby, and we can do it all

[Chorus]

My way, your way, anything goes tonight

My way, your way, anything goes toni-i-i-i-ight, yeah-yeah

My way, your way, anything goes tonight

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh, woah-oh, oh

Said anything goes

Tonight

Rocket Queen Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

If I say I don't need anyone, I can say these things to you

'Cause I can turn on anyone just like I turned on you

I've got a tongue like a razor, a sweet switchblade knife

And I can do you favors, but then you'll do whatever I like

[Chorus]

Here I am, and you're a Rocket Queen

I might be a little young, but, honey, I ain't naïve

Here I am, and you're a Rocket Queen, oh yeah

I might be too much, but, honey, you're a bit obscene

[Verse 2]

I've seen everything imaginable pass before these eyes

I've had everything that's tangible, honey, you'd be surprised

I'm a sexual innuendo in this burned-out paradise

If you turn me on to anything, you better turn me on tonight

[Chorus]

Here I am, and you're a Rocket Queen

I might be a little young, but, honey, I ain't naïve

Here I am, and you're a Rocket Queen, oh yeah

I might be too much, but, honey, you're a bit obscene

Ow! Cha!

[Instrumental Break]

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Here I am, and you're a Rocket Queen

I might be a little young, but, honey, I ain't naïve

Here I am, and you're a Rocket Queen, oh yeah

I might be too much, but, honey, you're a bit obscene, ow

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

I see you standin', standin' on your own

It's such a lonely place for you, for you to be

If you need a shoulder, or if you need a friend

I'll be here standing until the bitter end

No one needs the sorrow, no one needs the pain

I hate to see you walking out there, out in the rain

So, don't chastise me or think I, I mean you harm

Of those that take you, leave you strung out much too far

Baby, yeah, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, baby, yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]

Don't ever leave me

Say you'll always be there

All I ever wanted was for you to know that I care
