Hangin out on Second Avenue
Eating chicken vindaloo
I just want to be with you
I just want to have something to do

Tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight
Well allright
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight

Wait-now
Wait-now

Hanging out all by myself
I don't want to be with anybody else
I just want to be with you
I just want to have something to do

Tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight
Well allright
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight

Wait-now
Wait-now
(4x)

Hanging out all by myself
I don't want to be with anybody else
I just want to be with you
I just want to have something to do

Tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight
Well allright
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight

Tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight

I heard about the Easter bunny Presents under a Christmas tree
It was dreaming and fantasy There was no Mom or Daddy
I wanted everything I wanted everything I wanted everything

I had the world on my shoulder But I was getting older
Knew I was ready for it Some kind of employment
I wanted everything I wanted everything I wanted everything

All day working on a truck Bringing the groceries up
Not much of a salary No tip for the delivery
I wanted everything I wanted everything I wanted everything

There's no success for me Involved in a robbery
There's money in the supermarket And I'm goin' in after it
I wanted everything

. . .


You know it's generally known You got everything at home
Kisses out of desperation Bring you more aggravation
And you don't come close You don't come close You don't come close

You bring out your souvenirs Soak them wet with your tears
You lose your imagination Out of more aggravation
And you don't come close You don't come close You don't come close

You turn red with rage But act your age
Only thing that your regret You need more time to forget
And you don't come close You don't come close You don't come close

. . .


You said that you'd be true Baby said that you'd be true
I don't care, I don't care I don't care, I don't care
I don't want you Don't want you I don't want you anymore

You said that you'd be mine Baby said that you'd be mine
I don't care, I don't care I don't care, I don't care
I don't want you Don't want you I don't want you

I want you, I want you I want you to stay

But I guess that you'd be true I don't care, I don't care I don't care, I don't care
I don't want you Don't want want you I don't want you anymore

I saw her today, I saw her face
It was a face I love
And I knew I had to run away
And get down on my knees and pray that they go away
Still it begins
Needles and pins
Because of all my pride
The tears I gotta hide
Oh I thought I was smart
I stole her heart
Didn't think I do
But now I see
She's worse to him than me
Let her go ahead
Take his love instead
And one day she will see just how to save me
And get down on her knees
That's how it begins
She'll feel those needles and pins - oh, no - oh, no
Why can't I stop and tell myself I'm wrong, I'm wrong, so wrong
Why can't I stand up and tell myself I'm strong
Because I saw her today
I saw her face
It was a face I love
And I knew I had to run away
And get down on my knees and pray that they go away
Still it begins
Needles and pins
Because of all my pride
The tears I gotta hide
Hey! Needles and pins
Needles and pins
Needles and pins

Well I'm against it
I'm against it
Well I'm against it
I'm against it

I don't like politics
I don't like communists
I don't like games and fun
I don't like anyone

And I'm against it
I'm against it
Well I'm against it
I'm against it

I don't like gee's and freaks
I don't like circus geeks
I don't like summer and spring
I don't like anything

I don't like sex and drugs
I don't like water bugs
I don't care about poverty
All I care about is me

And I'm against it
I'm against it
Well I'm against it
I'm against it

I don't like playing it fine
I don't like the Vietcong
I don't like Burger King
I don't like anything

And I'm against it
I'm against it
Well I'm against it
I'm against it
Well I'm against it
I'm against it!

Twenty-twenty-twenty-four hours to go
I wanna be sedated
Nothing to do, nowhere to go home,
I wanna be sedated

Just, get me to the airport, put me on a plane
Hurry hurry hurry, before I go insane
I can't control my fingers, I can't control my brain
Oh no oh-oh oh-oh


Twenty-twenty twenty-four hours to go
I wanna be sedated
Nothing to do, nowhere to go home,
I wanna be sedated

Just put me in a wheelchair, get me on a plane
Hurry hurry hurry, before I go insane
I can't control my fingers, I can't control my brain
Oh no oh-oh oh-oh


Twenty-twenty-twenty-four hours to go
I wanna be sedated
Nothing to do, nowhere to go home,
I wanna be sedated

Just put me in a wheelchair and get me to the show
Hurry hurry hurry, before I go loco
I can't control my fingers, I can't control my toes
Oh no oh-oh oh-oh


Twenty-twenty-twenty-four hours to go
I wanna be sedated
Nothing to do, nowhere to go home,
I wanna be sedated

Just put me in a wheelchair, get me to the show
Hurry hurry hurry, before I go loco
I can't control my fingers, I can't control my toes
Oh no oh-oh oh-oh

Bam-bam-bambam bambam-bam-bambam, I wanna be sedated
Bam-bam-bambam bambam-bam-bambam, I wanna be sedated
Bam-bam-bambam bambam-bam-bambam, I wanna be sedated
Bam-bam-bambam bambam-bam-bambam, I wanna be sedated

Out of the hospital Out against my will
Life is so beautiful I've gone mental
Mental Mental

I've killed my family They thought I was an oddity
Life is so beautiful I am a vegetable
Mental Mental

I've gone mental I've gone mental
Staring at my goldfish bowl Popping phenobarbitol
Life is so beautiful I've gone mental Mental Mental

Sitting on my window sill Life is so beautiful
I've become irrational I've gone mental
Mental Mental I've gone mental

. . .


Questioningly
Her eyes looked at me
And then she spoke, Aren't you someone I used to know
And weren't we lovers a long time ago?

Looked at her close
Forced her into view
Yes, I said, you're a girl that I once may have knew

But I don't love you anymore
Why do you want to talk to me for?
You should have just let me walk by
Memories make us cry

In the morning I'm at work on time
My boss tells me that I'm doing fine
When I'm going home
Whiskey bottle, movie on TV
Memories make me cry
And I'm alone just me, just me
Questioningly

. . .


Yeah yeah she's the one
Yeah yeah she's the one
When I see her on the street
You know she makes my life complete
And you know I told you so
She's the one, she's the one
Yeah yeah she's my girl
Yeah yeah she's my girl
When I see her on the street
You know she makes my life complete
And you know I told you so
She's the one, she's the one
She's the one
Know I'll never find a girl like you
But in my heart I'll always love you
Yeah yeah she's the one...
When I see her on the street
You know she makes my life complete
And you know I told you so
She's the one, she's the one
She's the one
Know I'll never find a girl like you
But in my heart I'll always be true
Yeah yeah she's the girl
The best girl in the whole wide world
When I see her on...
She's the one
She's the one, she's the one, she's the one
She's the one, she's the one, she's the one
She's the one, she's the one, she's the one

I used to be an A student I never used to complain
I used to be a truant But I'm still the same
Bad bad brain Bad bad brain

I used to go to parties I used to drink champagne
Now I'm beginning to feel the strain Bad bad brain

I used to be in show biz I used to have fortune and fame
I used to have pleasure and pain I used to have a name
Bad bad brain

Now I'm on the Bowery I can't remember my name
Bad bad brain Bad bad brain
Bad bad brain bad bad brain

. . .


You by the phone You all alone
It's a long way back to Germany
