18 & Life

"18 & Life" (1989 Single)

1. 18 & Life
2. Midnight/Tornado
3. Here I Am (live)







1. 18 & Life

Ricky was a young boy, he had a heart of stone
Lived 9 to 5 and worked his fingers to the bone
Just barely got out of school, came from the edge of town
Fought like a switchblade so no one could take him down
He had no money, oooh no good at home
He walked the streets a soldier and he fought the world alone
And now it's
18 and life you got it
18 and life you know
Your crime is time and it's
18 and life to go
(repeat above)
Tequila in his heartbeat, his veins burned gasoline
It kept his motor running but it never kept him clean
They say he loved adventure, "Ricky's the wild one"
He married trouble and had a courtship with a gun
Bang, bang shoot 'em up, the party never ends
You can't think of dying when the bottle's your best friend
And now it's
18 and life you got it
18 and life you know
Your crime is time and it's
18 and life to go
(repeat above)
"Accidents will happen" they all heard Ricky say
He fired his six-shot to the wind that child blew a child away
18 and life you got it
18 and life you know
Your crime is time and it's
18 and life to go
(repeat above)




2. Midnight/Tornado

The night approaches, after dark you have no chance
Ooh, when moonlight takes the sky, you'll feel my dark romance
I'm on your footsteps and I wait behind your back
I spread like fire upon the streets I'm ready to attack
I'm the only thing you need
Upon your love I feed
When the clock strikes midnite
I'm on the prowl of love
When the clock strikes midnite
The time is right to call you out
When I'm feeling wicked and my blood is running hot
Electric is my touch baby you don't know what you've got
Only in the evening at night I come alive
So try to keep your passion deep I need it to survive
I'm the only thing you need
Upon your love I feed
When the clock strikes midnite
I'm on the prowl of love
When the clock strikes midnite
The time is right to call you out
When the clock strikes midnite
When the wicked moon starts to rise
When the clock strikes midnite
I'm alive
When the clock strikes midnite
I'm on the prowl of love
When the clock strikes midnite
The time is right to call you out
When the clock strikes midnite
When the wicked moon starts to rise
When the clock strikes midnite
I'm alive




3. Here I Am (live)

Six foot one and lonely
Dressed in spaghetti rags
Standing at the bus stop
With her alligator bags
What can u do?
No, no, no, what can I do
I better see a doctor
'Cause I think I'm getting hooked on you
I ain't much for talkin'
But all I got to say is
Here I am
Close your eyes and I'll be Superman
Here I am
Come and take my lovin' while you can
She broke a million hearts
On 2nd Avenue
With her German cigarettes
And designer attitude
What can u do?
No, no, no, what can I do
My love's been goin' blind
Since the first time I laid eyes on you
Ain't much for conversation
But I got to let you know
Here I am
Close your eyes and I'll be Superman
Here I am
Come and take my lovin' while you can
You don't need a crystal ball
To see she's got it all
Here I am
Close your eyes and I'll be Superman
Here I am
Come and take my lovin' while you can
