THE 69 EYES LYRICS

1. 1-800-Sleazorama

[Instrumental]

2. Tang

Hey you uptown jam-house mama
Such a superfly
Days go in dusty dreams
Nights with Doctor White
C-jams in Cadillacs
Help you to get your wings tonite
Number 3 takes to paradise
With the genuine snowbird eyes

I could see really easily
You got a monkey on your back
You ain´t no better than a rat on crack
I could see really easily
Your tang is hungry
So hungry for that
Nose-candy, nose-candy

How to make your love come down without
Sonic dynamite
White girl you´ve gone too low
School boys callin' you Lady Snow

I could see...

[Chorus]

I can tell ya whatcha wanna
You're an uptown mama

Wanna-wanna-wanna
Superfly mama

3. Smashed'n'Trashed

Baby baby baby let me pick your cherry
Go star-gazin' on yer back
To crack a Judy's teacup I'll give you a little upshot
Doncha say your mama's comin' back
I may be too upside down
On your dead-end street
But you've got that love so deep
It's gonna be a double-event for you and me

CAN'T GET THRU
2 SMASHED 2 TRASHED

I can't help myself born to raise hell
Doin' that bone dance much too well
Been to Mexico been to Jericho
Been so blind as a boiled owl
I can't feel no pain
Now I'm right outta my brain
Don't know the way back home
Likkered up and laid to the bone

[Chorus]

4. Velvet Touch

The autumn came
Took you away
I never expected you to stay
Black tears fallin'
In the cold rain

I woke up one night
To the darkest dream
Your pretty ghost whisperin' to me
Just one drop
And I'll give you Eternity

I'M LOOKIN' AT YOU
I'M LOOKIN' FOR LOVE
NEVER GET ENOUGH
WHEN PUSH COMES TO SHOVE

Try to look at me
Tell me what you see
You let fantasy become reality
When the night is callin'
Pretty baby screams

I buried my heart
Into the deepest seas
When the blood runs cold I feel hot in heat
The red moon risin'
Over you and me

[Chorus]

I never believed we would meet again
Start it all over till the very end
Gimme velvet touch gimme a kiss
KISS OF DEATH

[Chorus]

5. Mr. Pain

Lights out all night
I've been lying there
Shiverin' and shakin'
Heart full of fear
Everything's gettin' much too clear
Life's a bitch
I just let you too near

On and on this beat is gettin' much too strong
Higher and higher the flames burnin' higher
I took the self-destruction desire

P-A-I-N MR. PAIN
Takes you like a hot summer rain

I'm seein' snakes
And feelin' stone dead
Spiders and roaches dancin' in my head
All fucked-up in the hospital bed
Fire queen nursie
Paint the town red

On and on...

[Chorus]

I need a fix 'n' a kiss
Can't get worse than this
Everybody's so slow
I'm goin' much too fast

[Chorus]

6. Lady Luck

You keep on sayin' that you don´t like my playin'
You can deal the cards anyway you want honey
You can roll the dice you can roll it twice
Better leave love on its own device

I wasn't born under the lucky star
I'm a gambler love's the game
I'm gonna get you no matter what it takes

LADY LUCK
You're a lipstick junkie
LADY LUCK
You made me a love-sick monkey

Play your cards smarter throw your dice harder
You're playin' for high stakes doncha realize it honey
Lucky's so blind and we're runnin' out of time
Wheel of fortune stops in you in my one-track mind

I wasn't...

[Chorus]

7. Motor City Resurrection

The city's the bitch
We're its misfit kids
Raised on the streets
When we cut honey
We bleed
Dancin' on the dead beat

MOTOR CITY RESURRECTION HONEY
MOTOR CITY RESURRECTION

Shootin' up lika
Shit outta luck
Livin'on the Chinese Rocks
You cannot choose
The way you lose
City wolves preyin' upon you

[Chorus]

8. Ghettoway Car

I wasn't born for this drab city life
Never gonna work from 9 to 5
A voice telling me deep inside
I don't belong to this world of suit and tie
Who lives only for bread and circuses
I need more than just MTV
There ain't no future of any kind
`Cuz we ain't got a one-way ticket to ride

We got to GETAWAY from the GHETTOWAY CAR
I got to GETAWAY from the GHETTOWAY CAR
I got to GETAWAY from the GHETTOWAY CAR
I got to gotta gotta gotta GETAWAY!

They try to get you dead or alive
I wouldn't sell my soul for a dime
I need a chance that never get
Still got in me some self-respect
Mr. Corruption rules the City of Sin
Born to lose but I never give in
You better act on my advice
Fuck that one-way ticket you ride

[chorus]

9. Wild Talk

Wild talk - see what I mean
She's the one, she's the mystery queen
Wild talk - that's what she speaks
She's the one, she's the mystery queen
The temperature's rising,
My emotion on scale
It's gettin' higher
Run,baby, get out of your shade!
Was this love an affection, yeah ?
It don't mean nothing to me, yeaheaheah
When she starts talking

Get yourselves I'm on that wild talk baby
Lay,burn away,burn away
Get yourselves I'm on that wild talk baby
Lay,burn away,take you away
Burn it,burn it,burn it all away !!!
To make a commitment
To someone like you- yeaheah
It sounds down right crazy
Yeah, what can I do cause I'm so stuck on you ?
What can I say cause I'm so stuck on you ?
What can I do cause I'm so stuck on you ...
And your wild talk - see what I mean

10. Get It Off

Hey what's a matter with you
Why doncha dance or groove
Is it something in the air
Bless my soul but save your prayer
Life ain't feelin' real
When you're so down
Come outta your shell girl
Let's paint the town

Sometimes your life ain´t a bed
Bed of Roses
When in Rome they say
You gotta do as the Romans do hey babe

C'MON C'MON LET'S GET IT OFF
C'MON C'MON LET'S GET IT OFF NOW
C'MON C'MON LET'S GET IT OFF
C'MON C'MON YEAH

Hey sugar watcha tryin' to do
Ain't ya gonna give the Devil his dues
Can't you hear what I say
Keep your motor movin' all the way - hey

Sometimes...

[Chorus]

11. Always

Come and get me sucker bite down
One step more and I'll blow your head around
I ain't got nothing for you
Better believe what I'm tellin' you
I've been runnin' thru the world with a gun in my back
Never got a ride in a Cadillac
Now look out scum here I come
Down to kill like a son of a gun

You can try to tell me what is right or wrog
It so easy to see thru you

I'll do - ALWAYS - DO WHAT I WANT!

I never ever learned at school
To play their rules
Unlike all those jackass fools
Standin' blind in the line
They got their heads from the same mould
And doin' exactly as they're told
But hey that ain't for me
Still at war with apathy

Doncha try to tell me what is right or wrong
'Cuz it so easy to see thru you

[Chorus]

12. Demolition Derby

She got a sweet funky power machine
Shinin' chrome if you know what I mean
Speedin' the ride up to 99
Drive me on baby thru the 'lectric nite
Like a sweet ass-kickin' love machine

GOIN' DOWN ON THE DEMOLITION DERBY
Straight outta Hell
GOIN' DOWN ON THE DEMOLITION DERBY
Honey you can tell yeah

Well she rides like a motor-psycho speed queen
Hell on wheels if you know what I mean
Piercin' the nite down on the 69
Drive me on baby at the speed of light
Like a sweet supersonic sex machine

[Chorus]

13. Savage Garden
