1. Killed By Death
If you squeeze my lizard
I´ll put my snake on you
I´m a romantic adventure
And I´m a reptile too
CHORUS:
But it don´t make no difference
´cos I ain´t gonna be, easy, easy
the only time I´m easy´s when I´m
Killed by death *4
I´m a lone wolf ligger
But I ain´t no pretty boy
I´m a backbone shiver
and I´m a bundle of joy
CHORUS
But it don´t make no difference
´cos I ain´t gonna be, easy, easy
the only time I´m easy´s when I´m
Killed by death
Killed by death
Killed by death
Killed by death
2. Shine
Hard time getting to ya babe,
Double take, figure real rough trade,
But you know I´m a real good lover,
Can´t judge a book by its cover,
I know and you know I know,
Can´t trust your intuition no more
Look good and I make you smile,
Bet you thought I wouldn´t have no style,
I´m gonna turn your head around,
Won´t know ´til you hit the ground,
Gonna change the way you feel,
I´m gonna roll you like a wheel
High life, I´m a fool for you,
Low life, I like to break the rules,
First bite, you know I got a taste for you,
I´m gonna make you Shine
Be a switch to say the least,
My beauty gonna meet your beast,
Comin´ over and shake your tree,
My body´s gonna set you free,
I know and you know it´s true,
Move over I´m coming through
It´s all over and I got you down,
Gonna chase you round and round,
Mess around with the way I feel,
Gonna offer you a whole new deal,
Gonna lay it on ya just for kicks,
Down on ya like a ton of bricks
3. Iron Fist
Dark night nothing to see
Invisible hand in front of me
Scared to death there´s someone near
Scared to move but you can´t stay here
You know me, evil eye
You know me, prepare to die
You know me, the snakebite kiss
Devil´s grip, the Iron Fist
Flying horse don´t make a sound
Flying hooves don´t touch the ground
Walk in circle lose you track
Can´t go on but you can´t go back
You know me
Moon eclipse and you know why
Ghost rider in the sky
Beast of evil devil´s hound
Tooth and claw they pull you down
You know me
4. Go To Hell
Ya told me that ya wanted it
I knew it wasn´t true
Turned out to be the facts babe
You know what you can do
You can go to hell, you can go to hell
Goodbye for you
Wrapped around your little finger
Under you thumb too
You know that I´m a singer
I´m singin´ just for you
You can go to hell etc.
I guess I betta get movin´
Lotta things I gotta do
I realize it was a waste of time
Talkin´ sense to you
You can etc.
Hope ya got my little message
I hope you hear me
I thought ya might´ve been the answer
Obviously crazy
5. Dancing On Your Grave
I know you thought you were a real operator,
But I don´t know why,
All you had was a bankroll babe,
And a glint in your eye,
I´m high steppin´ like an indian brave,
I´m the one Dancing On Your Grave
You know I´m a killer babe,
Here´s late news for you,
You couldn´t buy me with a million, babe,
I´m too good for you,
I know you think I´m a real rough trade,
Now I´m the one Dancing On Your Grave
One time you was a real high-stepper,
On the high trapeze,
But you know you ran out of money,
Wound up on your knees,
I´m the one you never made,
Now I´m the one Dancing On Your Grave
6. Snaggletooth
Though I was done for now, well here´s a big surprise
´Cos I keep coming back, I can´t be exorcised
I´m like a nightmare babe, I´m here to mess with you
I´ll make your hair stand up and I´ll make your lips turn blue
CHORUS:
I´m gonna raise your roof
Ring your bell and that´s the truth
Speed don´t kill and I´m the proof
Just call me Snaggletooth
I´ve just been waiting here, and you were late again,
But I knew you´d be back, I hoped you´d bring a friend
I want you to believe that there is no way out
You´re in the snakepit, babe, there´s a lot of it about
CHORUS
So now you know my name, I guess you realise
Don´t try to fight babe, I got you hypnotised
And sometime late tonight you´ll hear the were wolf call
Gonna be old Snaggletooth gotcha by the balls!
CHORUS
7. Locomotive
You know I´m rollin´ know I´m coming through
Hear me howlin´, catchin´ up on you
Station to station, beating up the track
Check on your time, ´cos I ain´t never coming back.
CHORUS:
You know I´m loaded, railroaded
I´m explosive, I´m a locomotive
I´m your engineer, looping up the curve
Stoke up your fire babe, burning up your nerve
You know the story, know that I can´t fail
Power and glory, burning up the rails
CHORUS
Roll you all night babe, drive you round the bend
Broke down engine fired up again
Ain´t got no brakeman, got no mail to drop
Rollin´ forever, never gonna stop
8. Steal Your Face
He moves so slowly but he's catching up on you
Nowhere to hide and not a thing that you can do
You're on his mind, you're on his mind
You're gonna leave the human race,
You know you can't stand the pace
Gonna sink without a trace
He's gonna steal your face
Don't try to run, he's gonna find you day or night
Just sit and shiver and be ready for the bite
You're on his mind, you're on his mind
You're lost in hostile space, gonna feel the cold embrace
You're in a state of grace, he's gonna steal your face
Nowhere to run, he's gonna find you anyway
Knows where you are and he gets closer every day
You're on his mind, you're on his mind
And I'll bet that he can't wait
You know he's gonna take the bait
Gonna be on your case
He's gonna steal your face
He's gonna steal your face
He's gonna steal your face
He's gonna steal your face
9. I Got Mine
Here´s the story, there´s only me,
No other place for you to be,
I´ts only you babe, it´s only you,
I can´t believe the things you do,
Right now, right here,
Ain´t gonna let you disappear,
Right now, this time,
You got yours and I Got Mine
Come on lover, go back to start,
I got your picture in my heart,
It´s only me babe, it´s only me,
Refuse disposal refugee,
Right now, right here,
You just might be my new career,
Right now, this time,
You got yours and I Got Mine
Come on baby, stay close to me,
You got me fallin´ out my tree,
Be my lover, the only one,
Be anything but don´t be gone,
Right now, right here,
Ain´t gonna let you disappear,
Right now, this time,
You got yours and I Got Mine
10. Back At The Funny Farm
Hammer pounding in my heart, I think it´s gonna burst,
Spring unwinding in my head, I don´t know which is worse,
I hear you talking but the words are kinda strange,
One of us is crazy and the other one´s insane
Stay Calm, don´t be alarmed, it´s just a holiday,
Back At The Funny Farm
Nothing in this cold white room to help me recognise,
I don´t understand why everyone is in disguise,
I gotta leave right now, I can´t stay here no more,
But I´m afraid to try in case they lock the door
Can´t find no windows but I gotta get outside,
Can you help me stand it feels like both my legs have died,
What was that injection ´cos I think it´s going wrong,
I really like this jacket but the sleeves are much too long
11. One Track Mind
One arm bandit, one way ride,
One arm bandit, one more try,
One way ticket, one horse town,
One way ticket, no way down,
One Track Mind (x4)
Two lane highway, two hand car,
Two lane highway, too damn far,
Two faced women, two time guys,
Two faced women, two black eyes,
One Track Mind (x4)
Three time loser, break the law,
Three time loser, two bit whore,
Three ring circus, free form show,
Three ring circus, way to go,
One Track Mind (x4)
12. Speedfreak
Got to hurry, got to hurry
I don't believe you worry
Take it back, take it back
You know you can't do that
Don't want no sleep
just hide and seek
Yes, I'm a speekfreak, baby im a speed freak speedfreak
Way too fast, way too fast
Gonna be the first and last
Shoot ya down, shoot ya down

I Don't want no sleep
Cos I'm a speedfreak, baby im a speed freak speedfreak
No regrets, no regrets

Comin' down, comin' down
Over, under, sideways, round
