I can't lose
Don't want to change my situation
I can't lose
Got this strange infatuation
When my seeds were sown
Then the cold wind blowing in my face
My life was just confusion
And when I roll my eyes they say
I've lost my sense of reason
And one day my woman said to me
You're almost human
Hang me out to dry

I can't lose
When I travel down my own road
I can't lose
You don't know the things that I know
And when the rain comes down
I see the lights in town gently calling
But I have to keep on walking
And when the dogs are howling
At the full moon
I start falling
And my head that's almost human
Reaches out and keeps me talking
Hang me out to dry

I can't lose
When it's ripped down to the bone
I can't lose
A better time I've never known
When my seeds were sown
Then the cold wind
Blowing in my face
My life was just confusion
And when I rolled my eyes
They said I lost my sense of reason
And one day my woman said to me
You're almost human
Hang me out to dry

Ah, why don't you tie my hands behind my backGive me torture on the rackYeahBack in the gutter where I belongHit me when I'm down
Take my money, take my lifeTake your pleasure, make it lastCrawl under your wireShine in darkness
Where you hidin'? Shame on you.Aaah, dirty dogOoh, you dirty dog
Dirty dog, you had your dayI know when. I get when to strayNow you're out to grassAnd the world goes past
Don't you know all the turnsNow you've got what you deservePaid in full, I've been toldYou're not gonna leave the fold

Where you hidin'? Shame on you.Aaah, dirty dogOoh, you dirty dogOh, you dirty dogOh, you dirty dog
Where you hidin'? Shame on you.Aaah, dirty dogOoh
Tie my hands behind my backGive me torture on the rackTake my money, take my lifeOh, you dirty dog
Every dog has its dayI know where you went astrayYou been paid in full I've been toldYou dirty dogOh, you dirty dogOohYou dirty dog
Dirty, dirty, dirty (repeat)

How can you win, how can you fight
How can you lose when you know
You're always right
Look at the sky what do you see
That same old burning tree
I let my hair down on the ground
I listen but there's no sound
I'm waiting for something
A message, a sign
An answer that lies in my mind
I remember you well
Oh my candy horizon
Will you save us from hell
Oh candy horizon
What have you done
Son of a gun
How can you tell
Oh my candy horizon
When you're always on the run
What do you know
Look at your face
That same old human race...
A message, a sign
An answer that lies in my mind
I remember you well
Oh my candy horizon
Will you save us from hell
Oh candy horizon

. . .


And that's what dreams are for
Knocking at your spiritual door
It's easy
Just go with the flow
I told you before
When your body is burning
You reach for the light
In the heat of the night
You can't resist
Don't hold me back
And that's what I've been thinking about
Breaking into your open heart
It's no big deal Just go with the flow
I told you before
When your body is burning
You reach for the light
In the heat of the night
You can't resist
Don't hold me back

Pictures Of Hell

I know it won't be easy
I've got to get you out of my mind
I don't want this way of living
The blind are leading the blind

Picking it up putting it down
I'm getting tired, too many shades of brown
If a life's worth living, it's worth living good
I'm gonna live it just the way I think I should

Oh drink a bottle of wine
Be a friend of mine
When the spirit releases the anger decreases
And primitive races can capture their places
And serve at the table and study the faces
Of the pillars of Universal wisdom

I got that body fever
You put temptation right in my face
My spirit's rising but
They want me back in my place
You gotta buy it, you gotta try it
Can't do without it and it will not be denied
(Are you saying there's nothing here for me?)
You want a god, you want a guide
Come here boy; gonna take you for a ride

Oh drink a bottle of wine
Old friend of mine
When the madness descends on the planet
That's governed by money and hunger
And hate and disaster
Misunderstanding that goes hand in hand
With our glistening prophets of doom

Everything I Need

A hat shaped head
A shoe shaped foot
A kennel shaped dog
A dancing nylon shirt
A man shaped woman
B alloon shaped air
G lass shaped beer
A dancing nylon shirt
A comfort shaped creature
A n office shaped accountant
A car shaped driver
A dancing nylon shirt
C ow shaped milk
A pencil shaped word
A denim shaped designer
A dancing nylon shirt
A tartan shaped approach
A dancing nylon shirt
A dancing nylon shirt
A dancing nylon shirt

I've got to make up my mind
I've got to make up my mind

A power shaped nap
A car shaped fanny
A god shaped preacher
A dancing nylon shirt
A n honest politician
A rock shaped band
A bell shaped tent
A dancing nylon shirt
A month shaped head
A well shaped cat
A dong shaped bell
A dancing nylon shirt
A sharp edged card
A bottle shaped message
A tongue shaped kiss
A dancing nylon shirt
A girl shaped dress
A dancing nylon shirt
A dancing nylon shirt
A dancing nylon shirt
A dancing nylon shirt
A dancing nylon shirt

The fire of life is burning
Burning through the light in my eye
Use imagination
You can tell if it's a joke or a lie

Ooh reach for a bottle of wine
That good old friend of mine
When the seeds of our children
Are blown in the wind and they land in the sand
Where they wither and die
And we reach for the sky
And the desperate truth
That we never could grasp
Becomes clear
