HEARTBREAKER


I'm really glad it's over ,I'm really thrilled we're through
I've had it with your bullshit,but I sort'a wished I knew
did you even feel it ? did you even bat an eye?
or are you really so obnoxious and so caught up in your lies
that your truthful sweet demaenour has a black hole of a soul ?
heartbreaker,you're nothing but a heartbreaker!

I wish that I could get you  as good as you got me
I wish that you watch yourself pull tricks out of your sleeve
but like anything spoilt rotten,you know just where to go
sticking to your stories,letting everybody know
that your truthful sweet demeanour hides a black hole of a soul
heartbreaker,you're nothing but a heartbreaker!

run on home to daddy,he'll know just what to do
go back on your diet,and paint those 'lashes blue
there will always be another; another fool, another toy
and if supply gets tricky ,you could always go and rent a boy
with a truthful sweet demeanour,and an empty hollow soul :
a little heartbreaker...

UP 'GAINST THE WALL (HIGH TIME!) 



well,it's high time,revolution time
meltdown, Einstein, it's the end of the line
the city's aflame in the summertime
out on dropzone expressway all of the lost ones lie on parade
never forgotten and always afraid

feel the nylon,the kiss of her breath
in life as well as in death - up against the wall!
high time,it's about high time
high time,it's about high time

wound up tight and poised to strike -high time,it's about high time
memories,fever,the red neon light -high time,it's about high time
it's all in the eye,not the bark or the bite -high time,it's about high time
my dark places,your good night -high time,it's about high time

feel the nylon,the kiss of her breath
in life as well as in death - up against the wall!

high time,it's about high time
high time,it's about high time
high time,it's about high time
high time,it's about high time

feel the nylon,the kiss of her breath
in life as well as in death - up against the wall!

STAR STAR STAR 



look at him grovel ; humble,humble
look at him smooch his way inside
check out the styling ; sexy,sexy
starstruck enjoying every inch of the ride
he was a star star star

the power of ballads on formated DJ's
the smell of the green as the units soar
up with a bullet,down with the 'boppers
safe in the knowledge that much needs more
he was a star star star

go international ;billboard,billboard
A & R chieftains with goldplated cards
coked to the eyeballs ; units,units
"lead 'em to water,these idiot bards"
the limeys adored him,and so did the frenchies,
loved in the US and loved by the krauts
he was the greatest ; shining,shining
too bad the smack made his teeth fall out
he was a star star star
           a star star star
he was a star star star star star

VANISHING POINT 



spawned - by the clashing of day and night
dawn - seeing beauty for the first time
thorn - in the side of the bourgeois mind
born - to be one,to be of my kind
light - and I shine in the
light - and I'm home in the
light - and it's clear in the
light - and I fade in the night

glow - in the glow I am big as life
flow - in the flow I cut like a knife
speed - at this speed I am god amongst men
wheel - 'hind the wheel I have found my zen
light - and I shine in the
light - and I'm home in the
light - and it's clear in the
light - and I fade in the 
light - and I shine in the
light - and I'm home in the
light - and it's clear in the
light - and I fade in the night

RATTLESNAKE



I am here to guide you,plant the thought inside you
here to feed you lines up on stage
I am here to school you,feed your head and fool you
be your teacher,guru and sage
you want the truth,I'll give you mine
good,good omens,secret signs
and every time you try to steal away like you do,
I'll be there to rattle your cage
call me rattlesnake
I'm the rattlesnake
call me rattlesnake
I'll decide your fate...

your fathers have all wooed me,thinking they could own me
I was always there by their side
wherever there's ambition,hunger with a mission
I always come along for the ride
plenty are the shapes I choose
I always play but never lose
I only need an inch to take a solid mile
and watch you grind your teeth when you smile
call me rattlesnake
I'm the rattlesnake
call me rattlesnake
I'll decide your fate
call me rattlesnake
I'm the rattlesnake
call me rattlesnake
I'll decide your fate...

DR. HOFFMANN'S BICYCLE 



he put his answer there in front of us,her,and him
took the blue lane down the road and invited us in
took the 9th to the 7th heaven for a peak
and wanted us to stay there for a week and ride
and ride dr, Hoffmann's bicycle
 ride dr, Hoffmann's bicycle

I had everything I wanted there and then
didn't ever wanna go back home again
it was blowing all the cobwebs from my mind
now there's a new day rising for all of us and it's time to ride
and ride dr, Hoffmann's bicycle
 ride dr, Hoffmann's bicycle

dirtroads became interstates overnight
and the signs along the way were flashing bright
some just lost direction for a while
but the stragglers huddling cold soon lost their smiles 
and plain refused to
ride dr, Hoffmann's bicycle
ride dr, Hoffmann's bicycle
 ride ride ride..

truckstops became junkyards behind their eyes
anxiously wearing tie-dyed ties
there are two ways on every road you know my friend:
and the best minds choose the crooked one
again and again and again and again and again...


ride dr, Hoffmann's bicycle
ride dr, Hoffmann's bicycle
 ride ride ride...

GLOW 



pull the trigger,pull the trigger,pull the trigger see the eyes go blind
push him further,a lil' further,push him, watch him snap and lose his mind
glow - I'd give my soul to glow 
glow - I'd give my soul to glow like you

I'm a liar,just a liar,but sometimes all the words are true
and I'll steal you,mend and heal you ,wash your eyes and help you see anew
glow - I'd give my soul to glow
glow - I'd give my soul to glow like you

and see myself in every move
and hear myself in every groove

glow - I'd give my soul to glow
glow - I'd give my soul to glow
glow - I'd give my soul to glow
glow - I'd give my soul to glow
glow - I'd give my soul to glow.....

see myself in every move
hear myself in every groove
