The band in hell
Plays all night long
It's a sold out show
And there is only one song

There is no rhythm
And there is no rhyme
It goes on forever
Until the end of time

And now the devil he plays guitar
And Hitler plays the drums
I'm the man on the microphone
This is what I've become

I'm sorry that
I'm sorry that I love you
I'm sorry I
I'm sorry I am what I am
Another coal on the fire

Now there was once a man
Who walked the Earth with no shoes
He went from town to town
Playing rhythm and blues

And there was love in every note that he played
And there was truth in every word that he sang
He offered those who believed his guarantee
But somehow he missed me

And I'm sorry that
I'm sorry that I love you
I'm sorry I
I'm sorry I am what I am
A damnation to you

I'm sorry
I'm sorry

. . .


And I don't mind your rabid doggy
And I don't mind it when it bites
'Cause the days and nights and the nights are longer
We're watching days turn into nights

Yeah, I buy the drugs
I light the fire
I am your main supplier
I am your man and I buy the drugs

I can be the jump start for the car parked in your mind
'Cause you left the lights on all night long
We can drive for miles and miles and miles
And miles and miles and miles and miles away

Have you ever smelled the clothes, her sexy clothes?
Have you ever got to know her like I do?
Have you ever reversed roles? Gave up control?
Stayed home and let your woman support you?

Yeah, I buy the drugs
I light the fire
I am your main supplier
I am your man and I buy the drugs

I can be the jump start for the car parked in your mind
'Cause you left the lights on all night long
We can drive for miles and miles and miles
And miles and miles and miles and miles away

If you ever find yourself in need
You can submit your request in writing
And this is what you do

Send in a self addressed stamped envelope
To: PO Box 900
Los Angeles, California
90212

And I will fill your perscription with some degree of accuracy
And then I'll send it back to you
And then I'll send it back to you
And then I'll send it back to you

Yeah, I buy the drugs
I buy the drugs
I buy the drugs
I buy the drugs

. . .


Look at young girls with your television eyes
Fixated on nothing telling despicable lies
We prey on your obsession with candy
And you do what we want you to

So play that guitar and bring order to the stars
Turn up your stereos and drive around in your cars
And don't think about coming back home
Until you've never gone anywhere

'Cause you are not sure if you are goin' up or down
Expectations go out the window when Mr. Woman comes to town

'Cause when you talk nobody listens
You shoot to kill but you keep missin'
They got you runnin' round in circles but it's hip to be square
Tonight's special, paranoia with a side of despair

Oh, and one and one and one and one and one
I'm pretty sure adds up to five
Teenage alcoholics can be oh-so entertaining when they drive

Okay

'Cause turning people into product is easy
Turning idiots into stars is easier
The robots and the cockroaches are gonna be the only survivors

Destroying their minds with our sights and our sounds
And this is no time for fuckin' around
You can't be sure if you are goin' up or down
Expectations go out the window when Mr. Woman comes to town
When Mr. Woman comes to town

You can't be sure if you are goin' up or down
You can't be sure if you are goin' up or down
You can't be sure if you are goin' up or down
Expectations go out the window when mr woman comes to town

. . .


You can come and see me
But I don't glow in the dark
So you're gonna have to learn to use a little night vision

Then you must decide
Who resides in your heart
And baby I know that's not an easy decision

Oh, I went bananas
When I spoke with you on the telephone
I feel you lie telling me you're all alone

'Cause there's demons in you
And there's demons in me
Is it too dark for you to see?

Now you don't want to hear it
But it's time that you realize
That your eyes aren't being properly utilised

You can turn off the television
You can turn off the lights
But you can't hide from the darkness of your lies, woah

There is a lunatic who lives in the center of your mind
He's eating you and leaving this insanity behind

And he's taking over you
And he's taking over me
Is it too dark for you to see?

You can come and see me in the dark
(If you use night vision)
Don't need no fire and no spark
(If you use night vision)
Give this love a kick start
(If you use night vision)

(Night vision)
(Night vision)
(Night vision)
(Night vision)

In the land of the blind
The night vision users are laughing at the king
But you'd be surprised what you can see
When you shine your evil light on me

There we were
Just the two of us
Watching light fade into darkness

I was dying
But then you saved me
Brought me back, just to say to me, woah

There are asteroids in the sky brighter than you ever will
There are humanoids that love money so much that they would kill

And it's taking over you
And it's taking over me
Is it too dark for you to see?

You can come and see me in the dark
(If you use night vision)
Don't need no fire and no spark
(If you use night vision)
Give this love a kick start
(If you use night vision)

(Night vision)
Come and see me in the dark
(Night vision)
Come and see me in the dark
(Night vision)
Come and see me in the dark
(Night vision)

(Night vision)
(Night vision)
(Night vision)
(Night vision)

(Night vision)
(Night vision)
(Night vision)
(Night vision)

. . .


I rode a sex wave and washed up on your shore
A twist of fate, I was just what you were looking for
Young rollerskater, trained in CPR
Saying "Boy, you just don't know how lucky you are!"

It's whippin' me, it's whippin' you
Turnin' black, turnin' blue, hell no
Now I'm just a statue in the garden
Where your evil flowers grow

Calling unprotected girls
Infected girls do it better (ooh, ooh)
Calling unprotected girls
Infected girls do it better (ooh, ooh)

Increase the power (increase it) to a higher level
I like you better when you're possessed by the devil
I gave you my heart, I gave you my soul
Now I'm just another number at the center for disease control

Feels like a fire down below
(Feels like a fire down below)
Now I'm just a statue in the garden
Where your evil flowers grow

Calling unprotected girls
Infected girls do it better (ooh, ooh)
Calling unprotected girls
Infected girls do it better (ooh, ooh)

It's whippin' me, it's whippin' you
Turnin' black, turnin' blue, hell no
Now I'm just a statue in the garden
Where your evil flowers grow

Calling unprotected girls
Infected girls do it better (ooh, ooh)
Calling unprotected girls
Infected girls do it better (ooh, ooh)

Calling unprotected girls
Infected girls do it better (ooh, ooh)
Calling unprotected girls
Infected girls do it better (ooh, ooh)

. . .


Now there was a dancefloor
At the hottest nightclub in town
Politicians and celebrities
Always going to get down, get down

And they won't let me go in
(Because I got no status)
I went there with my friends
And they just laughed at us

One of these days I'm gonna burn the whole thing to the ground

Pulling the plug on the party
Pulling the plug on the party
Pulling the plug on the party
Pulling the plug on the party

Now just because no one likes you
Don't mean they don't want you around
They wanna throw things at you
And for an encore they push you down, push you down

They sent a man to the moon just to watch him die
We dropped turkeys out of planes just to fill up the sky
And they know damn well that they can't fly

Pulling the plug on the party
Pulling the plug on the party
Pulling the plug on the party

Baby now look at what you made me do
'Cause I only came here to party with you
Baby now look at what you made me do
'Cause I only came here to party with you, with you

Now I C-A-N-T S-T-A-N-D I-T
I can't stand it any more
I'm tired of dancing on this floor
And I've seen all of this before

I've seen all of this before
I've seen all of this before
I've seen all of this before

Baby now look at what you made me do
'Cause I only came here to party with you
Baby now look at what you made me do
'Cause I only came here to party with you, with you

. . .


Remember when you walked into my life
All dressed up in leather?
Remember when you whispered to me
We should always be together?

But girls like you ruin the future
Girls like you ruin my life
Girls like you make guys like me make love to a computer

Every night's another nightmare
And I can't wake up
I go bananas and every time I see your face
I self destruct

Remember when you told me
That you wanna ride the rubber rocket?
Remember when you told me that you want to
Plug my plug into your socket?

But girls like you turn into witches
Girls like you turn into beasts
Girls like you find guys like me and eat our vital organs

Every night you're the monster
Living underneath my bed
I go bananas and every time I see your face
I'm better off dead

This is what I turn into when I get really hungry
Man become machine and machine becometh monkey
This is what I turn into when I get close to you
When I get close to you

Every night's another nightmare
And I can't wake up
I go bananas and every time I see your face
I self destruct

Yeah, check this out one time

. . .


When the time comes to document what we did here
The transcription won't really be that hard
'Cause I'm a woman-eating monster
With a suitcase full of fire
And pink flamingos decorate my yard
Yeah, pink flamingos decorate my yard

Do you remember that young girl who did all those things with her body?
Yeah, I guess you could say it was me who gave her her start
I hear she's working for President Clinton the way she used to work for me
But my pink flamingos keep pecking at her heart
My pink flamingos keep pecking at her heart

And they never fly away
In my front yard they stay
And baby, I sometimes find it odd
You've got to climb the statue of the demon to get closer to God, yep

Woah!

Woah!

Now there's a crowd outside demanding my resignation
And a policeman about to draw his gun
Seems I've lost this battle
But the war has just begun
'Cause my pink flamingos will outlive everyone
Yeah my pink flamingos will outlive everyone

And they never fly away
In my front yard they stay
And baby, I sometimes find it odd
You've got to climb the statue of the demon to get closer to God

. . .


The need to turn it up is overwhelming
I just can't sit still anymore
I wanna break things with my hammer
I wanna start a little war

Isn't that what this little red button here is for?
(Ooh) I wish this song was louder
(Ooh) I wish this song was louder

Evil policeman patrol the city
They look for somebody to kill
They've done a little damage, they wanna do some more now
And they probably will
And they probably will

(Ooh) I wish this song was louder
(Ooh) I wish this song was louder

One night I had a vision that the world was taken over
By a race of dirty filthy birds
I dropped to my knees and I begged for mercy
But they never understand a word
No, I was never heard

Hey now cheeky monkey
(Ooh) Take a ride on the dirty donkey
(Ooh) I wish this song was louder
(Ooh) I wish this song was louder
(Ooh)

. . .


I'm late for dinner but look who's on the menu
'Cause when I'm in a hurry nothing tastes as good as you do
Whisper in my ear all your culinary wishes
Next thing you know you're washing the dishes

Your table is ready, follow me
I'm happy to seat you

Slices of you
I'd really like another slice of you
That's so nice of you
I'd really like another slice of you

That's so nice of you
I'd really like another slice or two
I'd really like another slice of you

I'm late for dinner but look who's on the menu
'Cause when I get a table you know damn well I get a table for two
Preheat the oven so to cook in your pants
I trained at the very best kitchens in France
My service is slow and I hope this doesn't offend you

Slices of you
I'd really like another slice of you
That's so nice of you
I'd really like another slice of you

That's so nice of you
I'd really like another slice or two
(Slice of you)
I'd really like another slice of you

And everywhere I go, people ask me
"Valentine, what's your recipe for love?"
My answer's always the same
Cook the hell out of it and slice it

If music be the food of love, play on
But I'm really too hungry for just one song
And so I pose a final plea to you
I'd really like another slice of you

That's so nice of you (nice of you)
I'd really like another slice of you
(Slice of you)
I'd really like another slice of you

I'm late for dinner but look who's on the menu
'Cause when I'm in a hurry nothing tastes as good as you do
I'm late for dinner but look who's on the menu
'Cause when I'm in a hurry nothing tastes as good as you do
I'm late for dinner but look who's on the menu

. . .


Policeman watching you
I see everything the policeman sees
City's on fire, it's a billion degrees, oh

The policeman he waves me through
That's the difference between me and you
We're watching hot tits on ice till we freeze, oh

White DJ in Detroit
Black MC in Tokyo
White girl in a black Blockbuster Video, oh

(Aah, something wrong with us)
There's something very wrong with us tonight
(Aah, something wrong with us)
There's something very wrong with us tonight
So let's go out tonight

Subway passenger
I see everything that the passenger sees
One hundred buildings for every five trees, oh

And I will ride till the ride is through
That's what the passenger's expected to do
Looking to pick up a Japanese
Venereal disease

Dutch hip-hop in Atlanta
Tight new R&B in Estonia
And just another sick American at Yoshinoya, oh

(Aah, something wrong with us)
There's something very wrong with us tonight
(Aah, something wrong with us)
There's something very wrong with us tonight
So let's go out tonight

. . .


Government man, important man
Walking around at night
He's got his whiskey, he's got his briefcase
He's gonna be alright

Now when you hear those sirens
Don't you think it's just a drill
'Cause when El Presidente pulls the trigger
He always shoots to kill

There are Germans in Mexico
Germans In Mexico
Taking over tonight
Falling in love with your daughter

There's only so many rabbits
That you can pull out of your hat
There's only so much time now
You know we're running out of that

Ayudame, American fighter jets
For without you we shall not win
They come with the light and take our women
For sale in Berlin

There are Germans in Mexico
Germans In Mexico
Taking over tonight
Falling in love with your daughter
Taking over tonight
Falling in love with your daughter

Sing everbody, "Deutsche Deutsche"
Vaya con dios amigos
Sing everbody, "Deutsche Deutsche"
Vaya con dios amigos
Sing everbody, "Deutsche Deutsche"
Vaya con dios amigos
Sing everbody, "Deutsche Deutsche"
Vaya con dios amigos

Sing everbody, "Deutsche Deutsche"

Sing everbody, "Deutsche Deutsche" (Sing Everybody)

I bought my girlfriend a Chocolate Pope
'Cause she seems to be at the end of her rope
Italian candy with swiss chocolaty flavor
Such a dee-licious dee-licious way
To save her

Chocolate Pope
Oh
