NEW YORK’S A GO-GO

A HEAD FULL OF KOOL-AID AND TINA SENSATIONS
BLOW OVER TRASHED BARS, SCRAPED OFF THE PAVEMENT
BLOOD IN THE STITCHES FROM THOSE WILD DIVA'D BITCHES
OH MY LITTLE BABY, MY SWEET LITTLE BABY

NEW YORK'S A GO-GO
AND EVERYTHING TASTES NICE
MOON OVER SOHO IS PEAKED ON THE EAST SIDE
ANGEL OF WARHOL COME KISS ME WITH YOUR SMILE
‘CAUSE NEW YORK'S A GO-GO....NEW YORK'S A GO-GO

FROTTAGE LIKE A REAL MAN BUT TREAT ME LIKE A LADY
SEXY 'NEATH THE LAMPLIGHT, SO VIRGINALLY JADED
GOD'S OF THE CITY SO CRUEL WITH NO PITY
OH MY LITTLE GREENIE, MY SWEET LITTLE GREENIE

NEW YORK'S A GO-GO
AND EVERYTHING TASTES NICE
MOON OVER SOHO IS PEAKED ON THE EAST SIDE
ANGEL OF WARHOL COME KISS ME WITH YOUR SMILE
‘CAUSE NEW YORK'S A GO-GO....NEW YORK'S A GO-GO

LIFE BURNS OUT WHEN YOUR 24!!!!!

SINNERS OF ST. AVENUE

THIS IS THE END AND THE LAST OF THE UNSTOPPABLES
THE DUSK OF THE DAY, THE 24TH HOUR OF YOU AND OF ME
NO MORE KINGS, NO MORE QUEENS, NO MORE JAMES DEANIAN DREAMS,
NO MORE DEFIANCE OR DYLANESQUE REBELS
AIN'T NO FISTS FULL OF FURY, AIN'T NO LAST MAN BE STANDING
THEY'VE ALL BEEN, THEY'VE ALL BEEN BETRAYED

AVENUE, AVENUE, WE WERE LOVERS OF ST. AVENUE
AVENUE, AVENUE, WE WERE FIGHTERS OF ST. AVENUE
AVENUE, AVENUE, WE WERE LOSERS OF ST. AVENUE
AVENUE, AVENUE, WE WERE SINNERS OF ST. AVENUE

HERE IS THE EVE OF THE 2ND CLASS FADE AWAYS
THE BOULEVARD IS GONE, THE IRRELEVANCE HAS ROADED ITS TOLL
NO UTOPIAN HOPE, NO MORE NIEVE, NO MORE SOUL,
NO MORE SEEING THROUGH ROSE COLOURED GLASSES
WHERE”S YOUR FISTS FULL OF FURY, WHERE”S THE LAST MAN THAT’S STANDING
WE'VE ALL BEEN, WE'VE ALL BEEN BETRAYED

AVENUE, AVENUE, WE WERE LOVERS OF ST. AVENUE
AVENUE, AVENUE, WE WERE FIGHTERS OF ST. AVENUE
AVENUE, AVENUE, WE WERE LOSERS OF ST. AVENUE
AVENUE, AVENUE, WE WERE SINNERS OF ST. AVENUE

WE ARE YOUR FRIDAY NIGHT WORKING CLASS ZEROES
WE ARE THE PORCELAIN POETS HUNGOVER ON MIDDLE CLASS BLUES
AND AS THE BILLBOARDED UNIVERSE FLASHED OUT HOW ARE LIVES COULD BE BEAUTIFUL
WE SOMEHOW, WE SOMEWHERE, WE SIMPLY GAVE IT AWAY
I SOLD IT AWAY

WE WERE LOVERS, WE WERE FIGHTERS WE WERE LOSERS
WE WERE LOVERS, WE WERE FIGHTERS WE WERE LOSERS
WE WERE LOVERS, WE WERE FIGHTERS WE WERE LOSERS
WE WERE SINNERS OF ST. AVENUE
WE WERE LOVERS, WE WERE FIGHTERS WE WERE LOSERS
WE WERE SINNERS OF ST. AVENUE,
SINNERS OF ST.AVENUE
SINNERS OF ST.AVENUE

THE LAST DAY

APATHY I USED TO BE
BUT NOW I DON'T GIVE HELL OR HIGH REASON
SELLING YOU AND SELLING ME, WELL
WELCOME TO YOUR LIFE'S GRAND TREASON

ITS ABOUT THE END OF THE ROPE
ITS ABOUT THE END OF THE WEEK
ITS ABOUT THE END THE MONTH
AT THE END OF THE STREET
ITS ABOUT THE END OF A LOVE
ITS ABOUT THE END OF THE ‘BOUT
ITS ABOUT THAT TIME THAT I SHUT MY MOUTH

BABY, HOLD ME LIKE WE'RE LIVING FOR THE LAST TIME
HOLD ME LIKE WE'RE LIVING FOR THE
BABY, HOLD ME LIKE IT'S HAPPY EVER AFTER
HOLD ME LIKE WE'RE LIVING FOR THE

I'M SO CLICHED, I CAN'T FEEL IT
I'M SO BORROWED, I CAN'T FAKE IT
ONE STEP FORWARD, TWO STEPS BACKWARD,
WELL, HERE WE ARE TO FACE OUR "HAPPY EVER AFTER"

ITS ABOUT THE FINAL EVENT
ITS ABOUT THE FINAL GOODBYE
ITS ABOUT THE FINAL REGRET
AND THE FINAL LAST TRY
ITS ABOUT THE FINAL DECISION
ABOUT THE FUCK OF IT ALL
ITS ABOUT THAT TIME FOR OUR CURTAIN CALL

BIG CHANGE

BIG STEAM ROLLER.....CRUSHED UP, FLATTENED OUT, PULVARIZED
BIG MOUTH SOLDIER..SURRENDER NOW OR DO OR DIE
BIG BLING DEALER.....ADD MORE, BUY MORE, ROB YA BLIND
BIG BULLDOZER........BURIED 6 FEET DEEP IN B.S. LIES

DID THEY TELL YOU JUST WHAT TO THINK, WHEN THEY TAUGHT YOU THE ALPHABET?
DID THEY PAINT YOU A PICTURE BUT IT WAS ONLY IN BLACK AND WHITE?
DID THEY TALK ABOUT COMMON SENSE BUT FORGOT THAT YOU HAD A HEART?
WELL HERE COMES THE END..THE END OF YOUR AGE..HERE COMES YOUR JUDGEMENT DAY

BIG CHANGE IS COMING
BIG CHANGE IS CALLING
THE DAY OF YOUR FATE IS HARD TO IGNORE SO HANG ON, HANG ON LIKE NEVER BEFORE
BIG CHANGE IS WAKING
BIG CHANGE COME TAKE ME
THE LATEST TODAY WILL BE LIKE NOTHING ELSE SO HANG ON, HANG ON TO YOURSELF

GREAT BIG BROTHER...IVORY ORWELL'S AUTHORITY
GREAT BIG PICTURE....DON'T SEE THE FOREST FROM THE TREES
GREAT BIG PAPER......WHAT WOULD YOU, COULD YOU, SHOULD YOU BE?
GRAET BIG THINKER....BE LESS LIKE YOU AND MORE LIKE ME

DID THEY SCULP YOU A STATUE OF THE LABEL THAT YOU SHOULD FIT?
DID THEY FEED YOU THE RICHEST MEAL TO FIND THAT IT MADE YOU SICK?
DID THEY DRESS YOU IN FANCY CLOTHES TO REMIND YOU THAT YOU AIN'T THIN?
WELL HERE COMES THE END... THE END OF YOUR AGE...HERE COMES YOUR JUDGEMENT
DAY

THE TIME OF THE WAITING HAS BEEN MUCH TOO LONG
THE END OF THE ERROR HAS JUST BEGUN
LET GO OF THE OLD WAY...BRING INTO THE NEW
THIS GREAT BIG CHANGE IS LONG OVERDUE

MY SPINE IS A BASSLINE

WITH A CRACK FROM YOUR WRIST
BIG SMACK, A KISS
FROM YOUR FIST TO THE CHIN
STRAIGHT TO MY SLIPPED DISC
BOOT TO THE FLOOR, 10 SCORE, MORE SORE
BUT! I'M BOUCIN' BETTER THAN BEFORE
A CHECK TO THE NECK, BACKACHE,HIPPY SHAKE
TOO LATE! STOP SNAPPIN' OUT MY VERTABRAE
WHIP IT INTO SHAPE, SHAPE IT UP, GET STRAIGHT, GO FORWARD,
MOVE AHEAD, BEFORE I'M DEAD!

MY SPINE IS A BASSLINE

BASS OF PLASTIC, ELASTIC
SUPER-DUPER RUBBER BAND, HEAVY PROPHYLACTIC
SLINKY SLINGSHOT, MY MAMMA'S CRACK
IN FACT, "THANK YOU.... SHRIEKBACK!"
BRUISES FROM MY COLLAR TO MY BACKBONE,
TAILBONE, HIPBONE, WRISTBONE,FISHBONE
"HEAVY BONES"
BOUCIN' LIKE A BALL ON THE REBOUND
A RUBBER LOVER LATEX, WEARIN' OUT MY REFLEX!!!

MY SPINE IS A BASSLINE

JOHNNY 3:16

JESUS CAME DOWN FROM THE CLOUDS AT 12:00 NOON
THE HEADLINE IN THE PAPER'S STATES, "MESSIAH TALKING BRAND NEW TRUTH"
AT THE PRESS CONFERENCE I YELLED, "SON A GOD!...WHAT'S THE NEW PSALM?"
HE SAID, "THAT JOHN 3:16 JOKER REALLY GOT IT WRONG"

"IF YA WANNA GET TA HEAVEN!"

SNAP 4 FINGERS THEN YOU TWIST YOUR HIPS
SNAP 4 FINGERS AND TWIST ME OFF YOUR CRUCIFIX

THE PROPHETS AND THE POPE AND THE PREACHERS SAY GET BORN AGAIN
I WISH THEY'D TAKE OFF THEIR ROBES AND STOP LISTENING TO MY OLD MAN
EVERLASTING LIFE, BABY, NOW IT IS SO EASY TO DO
SALVATION OUT YOURSELF BY SHINING UP YOUR FAVOURITE SHOES

"IF YA WANNA GET TA HEAVEN"

JOHNNY 3:16
LIFE EVERLASTING

THEN THE CLOUDS OPENED UP AND HEAVEN'S LIGHT CAME SHINING DOWN
WITH ALL THE SAINTS AND APOSTLES AND THE ANGELS
MAN THEY WAS SOME GOOD LOOKING CROWD
AND AS JESUS ROSE AGAIN, HE LOOKED BACK AND BEGAN TO SAY
"SNAP AWAY YOUR SINS AND TWIST AWAY YOUR JUDGMENT DAY"

"IF YA WANNA GET TA HEAVEN"

PET (PRESSURE, PRESSURE)

EXPERIMENT THE BEING, SCIENCE THE SAPIEN
BREAKDOWN THE FORMULAIC, SIGMUND OUT HIS DNA

ROPE IT UP, ROPE IT UP, ROPE IT UP, GRAB A HOLD AND SHUT IT IN THE MOUTH
TIE IT UP, TIE IT UP ,TIE IT UP, AND MAKE DAMN SURE THAT IT NEVER GETS OUT

KEY UP THE HATCH AND AFTER YOU CATCH IT
WHIP IT INTO SHAPE AND PUT IT IN A CAGE
A LITTLE SAVAGE FOR YOU, A LITTLE SAVAGE FOR ME
HOLD IT BY THE NECK AND WAIT AND SEE...THEN
GIVE IT A NAME, GIVE IT A NAME

PRESSURE, PRESSURE
THE ANIMAL'S IN LINE
WON'T BITE YA, WON'T BITE YA
BEWARE THE DANGER SIGN
PRESSURE, PRESSURE
SO WELL BEHAVED TODAY
COME AND LET ME PET YA
UNTIL IT BITES ME AWAY

ELECTROCUTE A LESSON, LAB IT IN A SCIENCE TEST
SQUEEZE OUT A TRUE CONFESSION, MAKE IT WORK, NEVER LET IT REST

SKIN IT UP, SKIN IT UP, SKIN IT UP, HEAR IT YELL THEN CLAMP IT IN THE MOUTH
SHUT IT UP, SHUT IT UP, SHUT IT UP AND MAKE DAMN SURE THAT IT NEVER GETS OUT

KEY UP THE HATCH AND AFTER YOU CATCH IT
WHIP IT INTO SHAPE AND PUT IT IN A CAGE
LET HIM IDIOT YOU, LET HIM IDIOT ME
GIVE IT NAME, GIVE IT A NAME

PRESSURE, PRESSURE
THE ANIMAL'S IN LINE
WON'T BITE YA, WON'T BITE YA
BEWARE THE DANGER SIGN
PRESSURE, PRESSURE
SO WELL BEHAVED TODAY
COME AND LET ME PET YA
UNTIL IT BITES ME AWAY

BUT THERE’S HAS YET TO COME

AND FALL HOPELESSLY IN LOVE

YES I AM A DREAMER
YES WE ARE A SUN
GOD I HOPE IT GETS US SOMEWHERE
IF TOMORROW EVER COMES

THE STARLESS SKY IS TAPPING AT OUR WINDOW
AND CRYING OUT OUR NAME
IT’S MOON SHINES A SLIVERED MIRROR
NEVER TO DAWN IT’S OWN DAY

IT’LL NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU
NEVER HEAR A SINGLE WORD
FORGET THE SKY, THE MOON AND HER SORROW
AND LIVE HOPELESSLY IN OUR WORLD
