Oh, we're gonna make this a big one
I'm checking out my native city, I can feel the blood in my veins
And my nerves are weak, And my heart is just about to collapse, oh
I'm kind of desperate, Something must happen
I'll leave for a chance right now, And I'll leave a for rock 'n' roll ride
So come on, don't stop, I want you, it's too fast now
I want you, I'm feelin' just fine, I want you, to kill this pressure
It's getting much too high, You asked me how long I've played electric guitar
And you asked for my autograph, And you asked if I mix up my whiskey with water
I tell you be sure, So come on, Much too high, Much too high, hang on


. . .



I can't get, get any closer, you're so distant, so far away, am I losing you
this fix of love will cool you down for awhile, I know how bad it was before
you told me we could make it somehow, if we really try
but where's the love, where's all the money we saved
love's floating to the beat, on the 42nd Street, and money killed the love, we tried so hard to keep
remember how love was wild, remember how love was real, love's hot, love's an injection
now that we're out of control, give me a try, one more try, am I too young for you
the city streets look so cold, so don't throw me out, I know things will turn out good
and they'll be just like they were before, if we really try, really try
don't throw me out, don't throw me out, don't throw me out, no
remember how love was wild, remember how love was real, love's hot, love's an injection


. . .



Monster time again
You see people on the streets
The talk of the town
Wherever you go to
They come to your home
They operate you by the telephone, you know
Coca cola propaganda
Religion, a cult they're telling you
They're telling you it's the only truth
Oh yes they do
You try to escape
But there's nowhere to hide
So you turn on your tv screen
It's black and white, politics all night
But who really pays the bill?
Nothing new going on inside of you
You see people on the streets
The talk of the town wherever you go to
There's not a place to run to
They never let you go
Nothing new goin' on inside the view


. . .


Oh the street is cold, I'm all alone, I've got some money
Don't know what to spend it on, So I take a bus, I see her face
Where did she go, She was here just a moment ago
I've got love, love so strange, And now my life must be rearranged
So down the subway, The lights kind of make me know
What to do, yes they do, oh no
Kill City kills, kills me slowly, Kill City kills, breaks me down
Kill City kills me now, ho no, Oh no

. . .



It was a Monday morning, When the blues came falling on me
It was a Monday morning, When the blues came falling on me
Now it's Saturday evening, And still got a hold on me
It was a Monday morning, When my baby left me
It was a Monday morning, When my baby left me
now she's walking down the street, And stopping every man she meets
Now I'm sitting at the table, With a breakfast made for two
Sitting at the table, With a breakfast made for two
Oh please, dear Lord, Help me get rid of my self destruction blues


. . .


Well I met her yesterday, She just came into my way, And I was so surprised
She told me that she loved me, Always would be true to me, Never tell no lies to me
She said her love was free, And I thought that I might, Just take a chance on her
Try hard to get into her, You know what I did
I told her that I love her, Told her that I care, I said I'd be free to ride
And to do it anywhere, Never want no love affair, I just like the clothes you wear
There's one thing I gotta do, Before I kiss you
(I wanna beer and a cigarette), I've got to get myself an ice cold beer, (I wanna beer and a cigarette)
And I need a cigarette, Well I, I didn't come here for no fix, I just need a beer
(I wanna beer and a cigarette), Oh babe, I got to get myself, (I need a beer and a cigarette)
Lord, theres only 2 things on my mind, (I wanna beer and a cigarette), Too much ain't enough
(I need a beer and a cigarette), Well and a cigarette, and beer

. . .



I saw you looking at me in the eye, I was hypnotized, so surprised
A memory from another time, Hit me from behind, where could I hide
Don't touch me, don't ask me, If I remember how I met you
I left you, oh please don't remind me, Forget me, don't kiss me
Don't touch me again, I can't forget, can't forget, can't forget you
And in my mind I think of old times, Sometimes at night I cry till it's light
This jealousy is burning these tears I see, Are slowly killing me, slowly killing me
Now that I've had to face what I've lost, It's time to pay the price for my lies
And in my mind I think of old times, I can't forget your whispers in the dark
I can't forget your whispers in the dark, I can't forget, can't forget, can't forget

I'll be a taxi driver for you, honey, Take you anywhere you want to
I'll be a taxi driver for you, honey, Take you anywhere you want to
Just call on me, I'll take you anywhere you want to
I'm a milkman for you, babe, I'll milk you anytime you want to
I'll be a milkman for you, babe, I'll milk you anytime you want to
Just call on me, And you can milk me if you want to
(Just) Call me on the telephone, (Oh, baby) I wasn't at home
Sometimes you reach me, sometimes you don't, Sometimes when I'm all alone
Call me up, I'll take you anywhere you want to
Call me on the telephone, Pity for you sister, I wasn't at home
Sometimes you'll reach me, sometimes you don't, Sometimes when I'm all alone
Just call me on the telephone, I wasn't at home
Sometimes you reach me, sometimes you don't, Sometimes when I'm all alone
I'll be your taxi driver , I'll be your taxi driver, Yeah I drive


. . .



I know you were lonely, Till you found yourself with us
Now we're the only company you need to find comfort in the night
bank robbery is your life, We gave you a knife
We gave you a Smith and Wesson, we Gave you ourselves to trust on
Women get out of our way, 'Cause if you stay you gotta pray for your lives
We came today to check out the situation
But we'll be back soon in full attack
Tonight we'll drink till dawn, As we sing our outlaw songs
Ten thousand heartaches, baby, Ten thousand heartaches now
Ten thousand heartaches, baby, could never break this cowboy heart of mine
We'll kill all the men and rape all the women, Sometimes we'll even shoot down the children,
outlaws don't feel no pity and outlaws is what we are
We both come floating down the street, We shoot down anyone we see
outlaws don't feel no pity, Because of what we are
we sing desperados
Ten thousand heartaches, baby, Ten thousand heartaches now
Ten thousand heartaches, baby, could never break this cowboy heart of mine
We are the desperados , We brought the death to El Dorado We are the desperados, We're like tornadoes
This town won't ever rise up again, And you'll never see us again
And the woman who tried to break my heart, now her head and body are apart
The tales we tell for generations to come about the fires,
and somewhere in the night
You can still hear the melody, but its the memory thats scaring you
Ten thousand heartaches, baby
Ten thousand heartaches now
Ten thousand heartaches, baby
Don't look back and worldwide
We brought death to El Dorado


. . .



I'm in a problem, can't find a solution
Problem, give me the solution,Problem, I'm causing confusion, Problem
Energy pushing in my blood,I could kill myself but I haven't got the guts,Oh no
Well it's a Saturday night,I got nothin' to lose,
I'm all out of money,I'm all out of booze
I'm walking down the street, I'm in the need of blues
Problem child, and I'm wild, I'm in the need to break all the rules
I'm in a problem, problem, problem, problem , problem, problem, problem child, yeah


. . .


Friday is the 13th, so to 24th is not so long to go
Though my face don't show
My temperature is gettin' too-o low
I've seen it all in a dream
I know just how it's gonna feel
Like not to be alive anymore

I'll be dead by X-mas now anyway
Tell me will you remember me that day
When you've found a new one who's better than I ever was
I'll be dead by X-mas now anyway
Please give all my things away
They'll make great X-mas presents for you and for all my friends

It hurts so inside to see you with another from the edge of a cloud
Whatever happened to the promises that you gave
Before the angels took me away
Here I'm all dressed in white
While you're drinking up my best red wine
And you don't even realize I'm with you here all the time

It's getting so lonely without you
And I'm sure I am jealous too to see another man in my bed
Be sure I can't get no rest before you're up there with me
Come up, come up, come up, come up

I've been dead since X-mas now anyway
So leave the flowers on my grave
There's sure a way you could join me any day around now, honey
You'll be dead by X-mas now anyway
You'll Lay beside me in our family grave
We'll be making love eternally, In a spiritual way

We'll be dead by X-mas now anyway
We'll sell everything away

Dead by X-mas, dead and gone
X'mas is forever
We got a life to live, a life after death....
