W.A.S.P. LYRICS

1. Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting

[Elton John cover]

Anything for you
Is what you told me
The day I sat there with you.
So I know
nothing lasts forever.
When will we realize it's gone?

Anything for you
Is what you told me
The day I sat there with you.
Do we understand
that words were not enough?
You said to me that this would last forever.

Why did we rely on
The time when I lied,
The time when I said I can't live without you?

It's all over now.

Why?
You walked away.
Why?

You said that I,
You said that I don't wanna work it out.
You know that I tried.
I do that sometimes.
We're just wasting time.

Why did we rely on
The time when I lied,
The time when I said I can't live without you?

I know you to say to me that things have changed.
I look in your eyes
And I know that things will remain the same.
You said that I,
That I follow you.
We've lost it all again

2. Flesh And Fire

I'm the pitcher you're the catcher
I ain't talking bout baseball
You're a sweet switch hitter
I want it all
Ah, if you wanna play the game baby
Ah, wanna play it right now
I can show you how to do it
I'm gonna show you how
Flesh and fire, fire, I want you
Come on give it to me
Burn me with your love
Flesh and fire, fire, I want you
Come on, hurt me honey
I want what it does
Got a wild one on the wire
It's getting hot where I stand
Catch the heat and feel the fire
Yeah, I'm a major league man
We're gonna sweat and touch each other
I wanna feel it alright
We're gonna push it to the limit
We're gonna do it all night
Flesh and fire, fire, I want you
Come on give it to me
Burn me with your love
Flesh and fire, fire, I want you
Come on take me honey
I want what it does
Come on over now and set yourself on down here
Tell me everything that you want
So, come on over now and whisper in my ear
Tell me everything that you wanna hear

3. Paint It Black

[The Rolling Stones cover]

I see your red door and I want to paint it black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love, both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Never see the sight of me that changes every day
I want you to paint it, paint it, paint it, paint it black
Paint it, paint it, paint it, paint it black
I want you to paint it, paint it, paint it, paint it black
No more will my dream's eagle turn a deeper blue (handcuffed, handcuffed)
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been painted black
Paint it, paint it, paint it, paint it black
Paint it, paint it, paint it, paint it black
Paint it, paint it, paint it, paint it black
Paint it, paint it, paint it, paint it black as night, black as tar
Wanna see the sun blotted outside
Paint it black

4. War Cry

Oh I, I was marked from the day I was born
A rebel and I was the one who I am
My father could not understand the fire in me
There was, there was times I was crazy for real
So crazy I just couldn't feel, no, no, no
Confusion would stand in the door and tell me lies
But now I stand on my feet so alive
I'm a metal warrior, I need their cries, War Cry
I'm a soldier, soldier, a soldier of fortune
Ah, come take a stand
Together we'll let out a cry
I'm a soldier, soldier, a soldier of fortune
Ah, come take a stand
Together we'll never say die
Oh I, I did not choose, the music chose me
I was christened and destined to be who I am
The one that they said would be damned
A hellion child that...?
I stand at the mirror and sing
I dare to be different and dream, now I am
Big thunder that rolls on the land forever wild
But still, this feeling inside never die
I'm a metal warrior, I need their cries, War Cry
I'm a soldier, soldier, a soldier of fortune
Ah, come take a stand
Together we'll let out a cry
I'm a soldier, soldier, a soldier of fortune
Ah, Come take a stand
Together we'll never say die
Raise your fist and support your rebel outlaws
Cause nobody rides for free
The freedom we lose today, you lose tomorrow
Because freedom means something to us...
I'm a soldier, soldier, a soldier of fortune
Ah, come take a stand
Together we'll let out a cry
I'm a soldier, soldier, a soldier of fortune
Ah, come take a stand
Together we'll never say die

5. Skin Walker

6. Whole Lotta Rosie

[AC/DC cover]

Wanna tell you a story
'Bout a woman I know
I come to lovin'
Oh she steals the show

She ain't exactly pretty
Ain't exactly small
Fort'two thirt'nine, fiftysix
You could say she got it all

Never had a woman
Never had a woman like you
Doing all the things
Doing all the things you do

Ain't no fairy story
Ain't no skin and bones
But you give it all you got
Weighin' in at nineteen stone

You're a whole lotta woman
A whole lotta woman
Whole lotta Rosie
Whole lotta Rosie
Whole lotta Rosie
And you're a whole lotta woman

Honey you can do it
Do it to me all night long
Only one who turn
Only one who turn me on
All through the night time
And right around the clock
Ooh, to my surprise
Rosie never stops

She was a whole lotta woman
Whole lotta woman
Whole lotta Rosie
Whole lotta Rosie
Whole lotta Rosie
A whole lotta woman

Oh you're a whole lotta woman
Whole lotta woman
Whole lotta Rosie
Whole lotta Rosie
You're a whole lotta Rosie
Whole lotta woman
Whole lotta Rosie
Whole lotta woman
Whole lotta woman

7. Locomotive Breath

[Jethro Tull cover]

In the Shuffling madness of the locomotive breath,
Runs the all time loser, headlong to his death
He feels the piston scraping steam breaking on his brow
Old Charlie stole the handle and the train that watched her go
You know he couldn't slow down
No he couldn't slow down
He sees his children jumping off at stations one by one
His woman and his best friend in bed and having fun
Crawling down the corridor on his hands and knees
Old Charlie stole the handle and the train that watched her go
No he couldn't slow down
No he couldn't slow down
He hears the silence howling catches angels as they fall
And the all time winner has got him by the balls
He picks up Gideons Bible open at page one
I thank God he stole the handle and the train that watched her go
You know he couldn't slow down
No he couldn't slow down

8. Mississippi Queen

[Mountain cover]

Mississippi queen, if you know what I mean
Mississippi queen, she taught me everything
Way down around Vicksburg, around Louisiana way
Where lived the Cajun lady, aboard the Mississippi Queen
You know she was a dancer, she moved better on wine

While the rest of them dudes were gettin' their kicks
Boy, I beg your pardon, I was gettin' mine

Mississippi queen, if you know what I mean
Mississippi queen, she taught me everything
This lady she asked me, if I would be her man
You know that I told her, I'd do what I can
To keep her lookin' pretty, buy her dresses that shine

While the rest of them dudes were makin' their friends
Boy, I beg your pardon, I was losin' mine

I was losin' my mind, on the Mississippi Queen

Mississippi queen, if you know what I mean
Mississippi queen, she taught me everything

Way down around Vicksburg, around Louisiana way
Where lived the Cajun lady, aboard the Mississippi Queen
You know she was a dancer. she moved better on wine
While the rest of them dudes were gettin' their kicks
Boy, I beg your pardon, I was gettin' mine

I was gettin' mine
I was gettin' mine

No, you can't have mine
No no, you can't have mine
To keep a Mississippi queen

9. When The Levee Breaks

[Led Zeppelin cover]

If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break,
If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break,
When The Levee Breaks I'll have no place to stay.
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan,
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan,
Got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home,
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Don't they make you feel bad
When you're tryin' to find your way home,
You don't know which way to go
If you're goin' down South
Then there's no work to do,
And you're going on to Chicago.
Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good,
Ooh, cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good,
When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move.
All last night sat on the levee and moaned,
All last night sat on the levee and moaned,
I said left my baby and my happy home.
Going, go'n' to Chicago,
Go'n' to Chicago,
Sorry but I can't take you.
Going down, going down now, going down.
Don't they make you feel bad
When you're tryin' to find your way home,
You don't know which way to go
If you're goin' down South
Then there's no work to do,
And you're going on to Chicago.
To Chicago
Going down, going down, going down

10. Somebody To Love

[Jefferson Starship cover]

When the truth is found to be lies
You know the joy within you dies

Don't you want somebody to love?
Don't you need somebody to love?
Wouldn't you love somebody to love?
You Better find someone to love

Find somebody to love
Find somebody to love
Find somebody to love

When the dawn is rose, they are dead
Yes, and you're mine, you're so full of red

Your eyes, I say you eyes may look like his
Yeah, but in you head, baby
I'm afraid you don't know where it is

Tears are running
Running along down your breast
And your friends baby
They treat you like a guest

11. Lake Of Fools

Fifty million miles below my feet
There's a lot of people
I'd like to meet
There's thieves and killers
Harlots and whores
All were misguided
But not any more...
So I see their fate
In the black of the doom
Waves of fire in the storm
Creatures howl at the moon
They're screaming intensely
Their cries are heard for miles
A prince resides there
Lake of fools, burning wild

12. Savage

I'm a night rider burning the highways, no brakes I ride
Tasmanian Devil, a mean streak as wide as the sky
As wild as the night
Cause I'm a wild screaming eagle
I thunder and roll down the line
No one can see that I got to be free
All that I need's just to ride in the breeze
I'm running today, I'm still bound to stay
Don't tread on me cause I'm living to be
S-s-s-s-s-savage
I'm a fur stroking monster, I'll eat you alive
My heart is my smoking sportster, cross me and you'll not survive
My wheels are my life
No one can see that I got to be free
All that I need's just to ride in the breeze
I'm running today, I'm still bound to stay
Don't tread on me cause I'm living to be
S-s-s-s-s-savage
Don't dare touch me
Five hundred c-c-c-c-c-c-s
No one can see that I got to be free
All that I need's just to ride in the breeze
I'm running today, I'm still bound to stay
Don't tread on me cause I'm destined to be
Savage
To be free, ride in the breeze
No don't you touch me
I'm running today, I'm still bound to stay
Sa-sa-sa-savage

13. Tie Your Mother Down

[Queen cover]

Get your party down
Get your pigtail down
Get your heart beatin' baby
Got my timin' right
Got my act all tight
It's gotta be tonight my little
School babe

Your mamma says you don't
and your Daddy says you won't
And I'm boilin' up inside
Ain't no way I'm gotta lose out this time

Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Lock your Daddy out of doors
I don't need him nosin' around
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Give me all your love tonight

You're such a dirty louse
Go get outta my house
That's all I ever got from your
Family ties, in fack I don't think I ever heard
A single little civil word from those guys
But you know I gon't give a light
I'm gonna make out all right
I've got a sweetheart hand
To put a stop to all that
Grousin' an' sprin'

Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Take your little brother swimmin'
With a brick (that's all right)
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Or you ain't no friend of mine

Your mamma and your Daddy gonna
Plague me till a die
Why can't they understand I'm just a
Peace lovin' guy
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down...

14. For Whom The Bell Tolls

15. Show No Mercy

I, I hear the mighty engines roar
And I unleash the savage dogs of war
Ooh, I'm the outlaw that rides
White anglo saxon, a violent reaction
Fire is my fuel, steel and iron rule
Ride on wasteland
A madman's badland
Ride on wasteland
And I will survive to show no mercy
I can feel the cycles as they turn
And I can smell the bodies as they burn
Ooh, the city's on fire
White anglo saxon, a violent reaction
Fire is my fuel, steel and iron rule
Ride on wasteland
A madman's badland
Ride on wasteland
And I will survive to show no mercy
Pain and hunger all across then thunder
Life is for the biggest, it's survival of the fittest
Ride on wasteland (show no mercy)
A madman's badland (on you)
Ride on wasteland (show no mercy)
A madman's badland (on you, on you, on you)

16. It's A Long Way To The Top

[AC/DC cover]

Ridin' down the highway
Goin' to a show
Stop in all the byways
Playin' rock 'n' roll
Gettin' robbed
Gettin' stoned
Gettin' beat up
Broken boned
Gettin' had
Gettin' took
I tell you folks
It's harder than it looks

It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
If you think it's easy doin' one night stands
Try playin' in a rock roll band
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll

Hotel motel
Make you wanna cry
Lady do the hard sell
Know the reason why
Gettin' old
Gettin' grey
Gettin' ripped off
Under-paid
Gettin' sold
Second hand
That's how it goes
Playin' in a band

It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
If you wanna be a star of stage and screen
Look out it's rough and mean

It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll

Well it's a long way
It's a long way, you should've told me
It's a long way, such a long way

17. Douchebag Blues

["This isn't the stuff we normally do for you guys that are buying this.
This is what happens when you consume massive amounts of drugs and alcohol."]

My mother was a douche bag
My sister was a douche bag
I guess that makes me one too
I got the douche bag blues, yes indeed
I got the douche bag blues
I got the douche bag blues
Lord I don't know what to do

I sold dynamite to the Arabs
Bullets to the Jews
Whiskey to the Indians
And I'll get you too
I got the douche bag blues, yes indeed
I got the douche bag blues
I got the douche bag blues
Lord I just don't know what to do

Vinegar and water
The drink that I choose
I gotta tell ya brother
Tastes like pussy juice

I got the douche bag blues, yes indeed
I got the douche bag blues, oh yeah
I got the douche bag blues
I got the douche bag blues

"Time flies when you're in a coma, you know that? "
