I saw you standing on the corner, you looked so big and fine.
I really wanted to go out with you, so when you smiled - I laid my heart on the line.
You read me my rights and then you said 'Let's go' and nothing more.
I thought of my nights, and how they were.
They were filled with...
I know you wouldn't go.
You'd watch my heart burst then you'd step in.
I had to know so I asked, you just had to laugh.
We sat in the night with my hands cuffed at my side.
I look at your life and your style...
I wanted nothing more.
I know you wouldn't go.
You'd watch my heart burst then you'd step in.
I had to know so I asked, you just had to laugh.
Walking the line, you were a marksman.
Told me that law, like wine, is ageless.
Public defender...
You had to admit you wanted the love of a sex offender.
I know you wouldn't go.
You'd watch my heart burst then you'd step in.
I had to know so I asked, you just had to laugh.
My vision in blue, I call you from inside my cell.
And in the trial, you were there with your badge and rubber boots.
I think all the time how I'm going to perpatrate love with you.
And when I get out, there's no doubt I'll be sex offensive to you.

Darling, darling, darling, I can't wait to see you
Your picture ain't enough
I can't wait to touch you, in the flesh
Darling, darling, darling, I can't wait to hear you
Remembering your love, is nothing without you in the flesh
Went walking one day on the lower east side
Met you with a girlfriend
You were so divine
She said; "Hands off this one sweetie, this boy is mine"
I couldn't resist you
I'm not deaf dumb and blind
Darling, darling, darling, now you're out of town
Those girls that you run with, they bring my head down
Darling, darling, darling, watch out if I see you
'Cause if you say hello
It'll mean you wanna see me in the flesh
Ooh warm and soft in the flesh
Ooh close and hot in the flesh

Surf's up!

In the sun,
I'm waiting for the day
Having fun
In warm far away.
Moonlight nights,
water seems so clear.
Ooh, city lights
while I'm still waiting here...

In the sun,
it's for everyone.
In the sun, we're gonna have some fun.
In the sun
we're gonna shoot the tube.
I'll do it for you,
my paka lola luau love

New York isle is covered by grey
concrete piles, blues play my way.
Tropic haze,
pineapple sky.
Perfect wave,
hurricane eye.

In the sun, it's for everyone.
In the sun, we're gonna have some fun.
In the sun,
we're gonna shoot the tube.
I'll do it for you, my paka lola luau love.

(Whispered:
It's so hot you burn, it's so hot you burn,
it's so hot you burn..)

In the sun, it's for everyone.
In the sun, we're gonna have some fun.
In the sun,
we're gonna shoot the tube.
I'll do it for you,
my paka lola luau love.

Where is my wave?
Where is
my wave?

I always had my eyes on you but you came from across the line.
I had to make good time to see you but you had to pay the fine.
All the boys on my side knew that you were the shark.
If you were found on the borderline you'd be shot in the dark.
Don't wear those clothes again, they don't make it in this crowd.
Don't go out D.T.K., you'll wear your best suit in the ground.
We're meeting in a neutral zone: the last car on the train.
The love you brought shaking up my bones and crawling through our veins.
We always met at the edge of a blade and we left at the end of the fight.
Of all the girls you've played and you laid why did this one have to be white?
They're gonna getcha at 12 o'clock high, got their sights set low on you.
You better believe me, I wouldn't lie.
We better quit before you're through!
They're gonna getcha at 12 o'clock high, got their sights set low on you.
You better believe me, I wouldn't lie.
We better quit before you're through!

Man overboard, sinking in a sea of love.
Man overboard, he jumped, didn't need a shove.
Oh, I've been sailing the sea of love, experiencing romance...
With what I know, he never stood a chance!
He gave it all for love.
He gave it all for love.
Said, lower the boats, he's sinking in a sea of love.
Lower the boats, he's sinking in a sea of love.
Yeah, I've been sailing the sea of love, experiencing romance...
With what I know, he never stood a chance.
No!
Man overboard!
Man overboard!
Man overboard!
Man overboard!
Throw him a line.
Man overboard!
He gave it all for love.
He gave it all for love.
He gave it.
He gave it all for love.
Man overboard!
He gave it.

Hey, psst psst, here she comes now

Oh, you know her
Would ya look at that hair
Yeah you know her
Check out those shoes
She looks like she stepped out of the middle of somebody's blues

She looks like the Sunday comics,
She thinks she's Brenda Starr,
Her nose job is real atomic,
All she needs is an old knife scar

Ehhh, she's so dull come on rip her to shreds
She's so dull come on rip her to shreds

Oh, you know her "Miss Groupie Supreme"
Yeah you know her "Vera Vogue" on parade
Red eye shadow - green mascara
Yuck
She's too much

She looks like she don't know better
A case of partial extreme
Dressed in a Robert Hall sweater
Acting like a soap opera queen

Ehhh, she's so dull come on rip her to shreds
She's so dull come on rip her to shreds

She got the nerve to tell me she's not "on it"
But her expression is too serene
Yeah she looks like she washes with Comet
Always looking to create a scene

Ehhh, she's so dull come on rip her to shreds
She's so dull come on rip her to shreds
She's so dull
Rip her to shreds

Oh, you know her "Miss Groupie Supreme"
Yeah you know her "Vera Vogue" on parade
Yeah you know her with the fish eating grin
She's so dull
Yeah she got the nerve to tell me
Huh she's so dull

Yeah there she goes now
She making out with King Kong
She take her boat to Hong Kong
Well, bye bye, sugar
And not a minute too soon

I was all alone with the scent of a bone and my heart was stuck in this emptiness zone.
I had not a care, though I wanted to hear the voice of a maiden who was playing down there...
At the rifle range, I lost my heart.
At the rifle range, I could not start.
At the rifle range, she left me so hot!
At the rifle range.
Like a victim of truce I was strung on a noose cracking at the news of a prey let loose.
I turned around to stare at the face she would wear and I ran through the gallows, her heart was down there.
At the rifle range, I lost my heart.
At the rifle range, I could not start.
At the rifle range, I heard a shot!
At the rifle range.
If I lose my head, we'll be certainly dead, with visions of acid, how I wish they bled.
The drummings of fear cause they're getting so near and I think of a lion who was devoured down there.
Yeah yeah yeah! At the rifle range, I lost my heart.
At the rifle range, I could not start.
At the rifle range, I heard a shot.
At the rifle range, she left me so hot!
At the rifle range, Bang bang!
At the rifle range, Bang bang!
At the rifle range, Bang bang!

Giant ants from space snuff the human race
Then they eat your face, never leave a trace
La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la
They shoot fire all around. Tokyo burns down
Everybody drowns. The moon falls on the ground
La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la

They can't be stopped at all. The buildings start to fall
Soldiers shoot all day and then they run away
La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la

The world is holocaust. Everything is lost
Mankind is destroyed. Sprinkled in the void
La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la

Giant ants from space waste the human race
Then they eat your face, never leave a trace
La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la
