letra de Psycho Killer
I can't seem to face up to the facts

I'm tense and nervous and I

Can't relax

I can't sleep 'cause my bed's on fire

Don't touch me I'm a real live wire

Psycho Killer

Qu'est-ce que c'est ?

fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better

Run run run run run run run away

Psycho Killer

Qu'est-ce que c'est ?

fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better

Run run run run run run run away

You start a conversation you can't even finish it

You're talkin' a lot, but you're not sayin' anything

When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed

Say something once, why say it again?

Psycho Killer

Qu'est-ce que c'est ?

fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better

Run run run run run run run away

Psycho Killer

Qu'est-ce que c'est ?

fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better

Run run run run run run run away

Ce que j'ai fait, ce soir-là

Ce qu'elle a dit, ce soir-là

Réalisant mon espoir

Je me lance, vers la gloire ... OK

We are vain and we are blind

I hate people when they're not polite

Psycho Killer

Qu'est-ce que c'est ?

fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better

Run run run run run run run away

Psycho Killer

Qu'est-ce que c'est ?

fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better

Run run run run run run run away

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh....

Now lemme tell you a story

The devil he has a plan

A bag a' bones in his pocket

Got anything you want

No dust and no rocks

The whole thing is over

All these beauties in solid motion

All those beauties, gonna swallow you up

Hi hi hi hi hi,

One time too many

Too far to go

I- We come to take you home

And when they split those atoms

It's hotter than the sun

Blood is a special substance

They gonna pray for that man

So wake up young lovers

The whole thing is over

Watch but touch monkeys

All that blood, gonna swallow you whole

Hi hi hi hi hi

What's that? Who's driving?

Where we goin'? Who knows?

I- We come to take you home

How many people do you think I am

Pretend I am somebody else

You can pretend I'm and old millionaire

A millionaire washing his hands

Rattle the bones, dreams that stick out

A medical chart on the wall

Soft violence and hands touch your throat

Ev'ryone wants to explode

And when your hands get dirty

Nobody knows you at all

Don't have a window to slip out of

Lights on, nobody home

Click click- see ya later

Beta beta- no time to rest

Pika pika- risky business

All that blood, will never cover that mess.

Hi hi hi hi hi

So soft hard feelings

What's that, who's driving

No tricks lets go

I- We come to take you home

I- We come to take you home

Hi hi hi hi hi

etc.

letra de Slippery People
What about the time

You were rollin' over

Fall on your face

You must be having fun

Walk lightly!

Think of a time

You'd best believe

This thing is real

Put away that gun

This part is simple

Try to recognize

What is in your mind

God help us!

Help us lose our minds

These slippery people

Help us understand

What's the matter with him?

(He's alright)

How do you know?

(The lord won't mind)

Don't play no games

(He's alright)

Love from the bottom to the top

Turn like a wheel

(He's alright)

See for yourself

(The lord won't mind)

We're gonna move

(Right now)

Turn like a wheel inside a wheel

I remember when

Sittin' in the tub

Pulled out the plug

The water was runnin' out

Cool down

Stop actin' crazy

They're gonna leave

And we'll be on our own

Seven times five

They were living creatures

Watch 'em come to life

Right before your eyes

Backsliding!

How do you do?

These slippery people

Gonna see you through

What's the matter with him?

(He's alright)

How do you know?

(The lord won't mind)

Don't play no games

(He's alright)

Love from the bottom to the top

Turn like a wheel

(He's alright)

See for yourself

(The lord won't mind)

We're gonna move

(Right now)

Turn like a wheel inside a wheel
Burning Down the HouseVer letra 4:10

letra de Burning Down the House
Watch out, you might get what you're after

Cool babies, strange but not a stranger

I'm an ordinary guy

Burning down the house

Hold tight

Wait 'til the party's over

Hold tight

We're in for nasty weather

There has got to be a way

Burning down the house

Here's your ticket pack your bags

Time for jumpin' overboard

The transportation is here

Close enough but not too far,

Maybe you know where you are

Fightin' fire with fire

All wet, hey, you might need a raincoat

Shakedown, dreams walking in broad daylight

Three hundred sixty five degrees

Burning down the house

It was once upon a place,

Sometimes I listen to myself

Gonna come in first place

People on their way to work,

Baby, what did you expect?

Gonna burst into flame

Burning down the house

My house's out of the ordinary

That's right

Don't want to hurt nobody

Some things sure can sweep me off my feet

Burning down the house

No visible means of support

And you have not seen nothin' yet

Everything's stuck together

And I don't know what you expect

Staring into the TV set

Fighting fire with fire
Girlfriend Is BetterVer letra 3:32

letra de Girlfriend Is Better
I... Who took the money?

Who took the money away?

I... It's always showtime

Here at the edge of the stage

I, I, I, wake up and wonder

What was the place, what was the name?

We wanna wait, but here we go again

I... takes over slowly

But doesn't last very long

I... no need to worry

Everything's under control

O - U - T but no hard feelings

What do you know? Take you away

We're being taken for a ride again

I got a girlfriend that's better than that

She has the smoke in her eyes

She's coming up, going right through my heart

She's gonna give me surprise

I think it's right, Better than this

I think you can if you like

I got a girlfriend with bows in her hair

And nothing is better than that (is it?)

Down, down in the basement

We hear the sound of machines

I, I, I'm driving in circles

Come to my senses sometimes

Why, why, why, why start it over?

Nothing was lost, everything's free

I don't care how impossible it seems

Somebody calls you but you cannot hear

Get closer to be far away

Only one look and that's all that it takes

Maybe that's all that we need

All that it takes, I'll bet it's right

All it takes, if it's right

I got a girlfriend that's better than that

And she goes wherever she likes (there she goes)

I got a girlfriend that's better than that

Now everyone's getting involved

She's moving up going right through my heart

We might not ever get caught

Going right through (try to stay cool) going through, staying cool

I got a girlfriend she's better than that

And nothing is better than you

I got a girlfriend that's better than this

But you don't remember at all

As we get older and stop making sense

You won't find her waiting long

Stop making sense, stop making sense...stop making sense, making sense

I got a girlfriend she's better than that

And nothing is better than this

(Is it?)
Once in a LifetimeVer letra 4:34

letra de Once in a Lifetime
And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack

And you may find yourself in another part of the world

And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile

And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife

And you may ask yourself, "Well... how did I get here?"

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down

Letting the days go by, water flowing underground

Into the blue again after the money's gone

Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground

And you may ask yourself, "How do I work this?"

And you may ask yourself, "Where is that large automobile?"

And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful house"

And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful wife"

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down

Letting the days go by, water flowing underground

Into the blue again after the money's gone

Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground

Same as it ever was, same as it ever was

Same as it ever was, same as it ever was

Same as it ever was, same as it ever was

Same as it ever was, same as it ever was

Water dissolving and water removing

There is water at the bottom of the ocean

Under the water, carry the water

Remove the water at the bottom of the ocean

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down

Letting the days go by, water flowing underground

Into the blue again, into the silent water

Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down

Letting the days go by, water flowing underground

Into the blue again after the money's gone

Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground

And you may ask yourself, "What is that beautiful house?"

And you may ask yourself, "Where does that highway go to?"

And you may ask yourself, "Am I right? Am I wrong?"

And you may say to yourself, "My God! What have I done?"

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down

Letting the days go by, water flowing underground

Into the blue again, into the silent water

Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down

Letting the days go by, water flowing underground

Into the blue again after the money's gone

Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground

Same as it ever was, same as it ever was

Same as it ever was and look where my hand was

Time isn't holding up, time isn't after us

Same as it ever was, same as it ever was

Same as it ever was, same as it ever was

Same as it ever was, same as it ever was

Letting the days go by, same as it ever was

Here a twister comes, here comes the twister

Same as it ever was, same as it ever was

Same as it ever was, same as it ever was

Once in a lifetime, let the water hold me down

Letting the days go by

letra de What A Day That Was
Well, I'm dressed up so nice

An' I'm doin' my best

Yes I'm startin' over..

Startin' over in another place

Lemme tell you a story

Big chief with a golden crown

He's got rings on his finger

And then he walks up, up to the throne

He's makin' shapes with his hands

An' don't choo dare sit down

Now don't choo dare jump back

And don't choo dare stick out!

And on the first day, we had everything we could hold

Ooh and then we let if all

And on the second day, there was nothing else left to do

Ooh what a day that was.

There are 50,000 beggars

Roaming in the streets

They have lost all their possessions

They have nothing left to eat

Down come a bolt of lightning

Now an electrical storm

Starts a chain reaction

Go pull a fire alarm

I'm dreaming of a city

It was my own invention

And I put the wheels in motion

A time for big decisions

And on the first day, we had everything we could hold

Ooh and then we let if all

And on the second day, there was nothing else left to do

Oohh what a day that was.

Oh a day that was

Ooh that's the way it goes

There's a million ways- to get things done

Three's a million ways- to make things work out.

Well I'm going right trough

And the light came down

Well they're roundin' 'em up

from all over town

They're movin' forward and back

They're movin' backwards and front

And they're enjoying themselves

Moving in ev'ry direction

So if you feel like you're in a whirlpool

You feel like going home

And if you feel like talking to someone

Who know the difference between right and wrong

And on the first day, we had everything we could hold

Ooh and then we let if all

And on the second day, there was nothing else left to do

Ooh what a day that was.

We're going boom boom boom That's the way we live

And in a great big room and That's the way we live.
Life During WartimeVer letra 4:52

letra de Life During Wartime
Heard of a van that is loaded with weapons

Packed up and ready to go

Heard of some grave sites, out by the highway

A place where nobody knows

The sound of gunfire, off in the distance

I'm getting used to it now

Lived in a brownstone, lived in a ghetto

I've lived all over this town

This ain't no party, this ain't no disco

This ain't no fooling around

No time for dancing, or lovey dovey

I ain't got time for that now

Transmit the message, to the receiver

Hope for an answer some day

I got three passports, a couple of visas

You don't even know my real name

High on a hillside, the trucks are loading

Everything's ready to roll

I sleep in the daytime, I work in the nighttime

I might not ever get home

This ain't no party, this ain't no disco

This ain't no fooling around

This ain't no Mudd Club, or C. B. G. B.

I ain't got time for that now

Heard about Houston? Heard about Detroit?

Heard about Pittsburgh, P. A.?

You oughta know not to stand by the window

Somebody see you up there

I got some groceries, some peanut butter

To last a couple of days

But I ain't got no speakers, ain't got no headphones

Ain't got no records to play

Why stay in college? Why go to night school?

Gonna be different this time

Can't write a letter, can't send a postcard,

I can't write nothing at all

This ain't no party, this ain't no disco,

This ain't no fooling around

I'd like to kiss you, I'd love you hold you

I ain't got no time for that now

Trouble in transit, got through the roadblock

we blended with the crowd

We got computer, we're tapping phone lines

I know that ain't allowed

We dress like students, we dress like housewives

or in a suit and a tie

I changed my hairstyle, so many times now

I don't know what I look like!

You make me shiver, I feel so tender

We make a pretty good team

Don't get exhausted, I'll do some driving

you ought to get some sleep

Get you instructions, follow directions

Then you should change your address

Maybe tomorrow, maybe the next day

whatever you think is best

Burned all my notebooks, what good are

Notebooks? They won't help me survive

My chest is aching, burns like a furnace

The burning keeps me alive

Try to stay healthy, physical fitness

Don't want to catch no disease

Try to be careful, don't take no chances

You better watch what you say
Take Me To The RiverVer letra 5:36

letra de Take Me To The River
I don't know why I love her like I do

All the changes you put me through

Take my money, my cigarettes

I haven't seen the worst of it yet

I wanna know that you'll tell me

I love to stay

Take me to the river, drop me in the water

Take me to the river, dip me in the water

Washing me down, washing me down

I don't know why you treat me so bad

Think of all the things we could have had

Love is an ocean that I can't forget

My sweet sixteen I would never regret

I wanna know that you'll tell me

I love to stay

Take me to the river, drop me in the water

Push me in the river, dip me in the water

Washing me down, washing me

Hug me, squeeze me, love me, tease me

Till I can't, till I can't, till I can't take no more of it

Take me to the water, drop me in the river

Push me in the water, drop me in the river

Washing me down, washing me down

I don't know why I love you like I do

All the troubles you put me through

Sixteen candles there on my wall

And here am I the biggest fool of them all

I wanna know that you'll tell me

I love to stay

Take me to the river and drop me in the water

Dip me in the river, drop me in the water

Washing me down, washing me down.
