dog day Tuesday
hope that girl she come today
hard life it's a city life
sweat keep pourin' down
I've got my feet up like to love
through the dawn till I've blown
all I want's her lovin' down
love the way she move around
need no excuse
to let it all hang loose
my body's blown a fuse
rising power
we'll raise the night
rising power
rising power
we'll wake the dead
rising power

you've got a love life up all night
darkest hour at the dead of night
seen her walkin' down the street
the kind of woman that brings on heat
loved her dusk till dawn
come the morning she was gone
took me out to my surprise
money's gone left high and dry
need no excuse
to let it all hang loose
my body's blown a fuse
rising power
we'll raise the night
rising power
rising power
we'll wake the dead
rising power
you'll end up torn to shreds

don't need no excuse
my body's blown a fuse
rising power
we'll raise the night
rising power
rising power
we'll wake the dead
rising power
you'll end up torn to shreds

rise
rise
rise
rising power
the power rise
from you

well there's a love gone down on mine
suicidal voltage line
she send signals out of distress
she devil she evil
she's got you reelin' on a rockin' machine

with a flick of the switch
with a flick of the switch
she'll blow you sky high
with a flick of the switch
with a flick of the switch
she can satisfy

she's gonna blow you all sky high
flash the eye electrify
a power force you should feel
she devil she evil
she's get you screamin' on a lightnin' machine

with a flick of the switch
flick of the switch
she'll blow you sky high
with a flick of the switch
flick of the switch
she can satisfy
give you pain
blow your brains

flick the switch
flick the switch
with a flick of the switch she'll blow you sky high
with a flick of the switch she can satisfy
with a flick of the switch gonna burn you down
with a flick of the switch raise to the ground
with a flick of the switch
with a flick of the switch
with a flick of the switch she gonna give you pain
with a flick of the switch she gonna blow your brain

blow your brain
she gonna put the light out on
you

"Freeze", said the man cruisin' the beat
"You get your hands up and spread your feet"
"Don't you move an inch", I heard him say
"Or you'll be doin' time 'til the judgement day"
And he said "Don't tell me no lies, give me alibise
'Cause if you cross my path, you'll be doin' life"

It's a dirty lie

It's a shakedown
And it's a nervous shakedown
A nervous shakedown
Another nervous shakedown
It's a shakedown
And it's a nervous shakedown
We got a shakedown
Another nervous shakedwon

It's more like a set - up

"Take a dime", said the man , "you can make one call
You get a one - way ticket to the County Hall"
Well, the judge looked high and I looked low
And when he smiled at me it was a one - man -show
He said "Two to five, the jury dicides
Double parole if you survive
It's a dirty life

It's a shakedown
And it's a nervous shakedown
A nervous shakedown
Another nervous shakedown
It's a shakedown
And it's a nervous shakedown
We got a shakedown
Another nervous shakedwon

I've been enchained
she got shackles on me
that woman to blame
for the hell and misery
can't find my way out of here
shoot me down in a burnin' fear
going down for a stretch of years
way down below
I'm deep in, deep in
deep in the hole
deep in, deep in
deep in the hole
I'm down in, down in
down in the hole
well I'm deep in, deep in
that woman got me deep in the hole

I'm sinkin' down
she got me down on the floor
can't touch both walls
the further down I go
pulls the string on my riding bow
makes me sing when she find my load
ain't no slave you do what you're told

I'm deep in, deep in

yeah, yeah
the blood in my veins was runnin' right through my brain
there was a cop with a gun
who was runnin' around insane
three fifty arrests
no bullet proof vest
now ain't that a shame
we wanted to play
play for the crowd
law said no way
cause you're on your way out
bedlam in Belgium
bedlam in Belgium

the place was a jumpin'
and the booze was going down
there's a curfew at ten
and you been working overtime
we don't play just for pay
so we'd like to stay
stay just the same
he gave me a crack in the back with his gun
hurt me so bad I could feel the blood run
bedlam in Belgium
it was bedlam in Belgium
bedlam in Belgium
came for a good time and left on the run
bedlam in Belgium, yeah
who's to blame
it's a shame

bedlam
in Belgium
it was bedlam

getting ready
stayed on the stage cops in a rage
crowd yelled for more it was war, war, war
bedlam in Belgium
it was bedlam in Belgium
bedlam in Belgium
came for a good time and left on the run
bedlam in Belgium

it was bedlam ( in Belgium )
it was bedlam ( in Belgium )
it was bedlam
and the law got the drop on
me

I'm a pistol packin' man
With a gun in my hand
Lookin' for a woman that'll understand
You like to roll and I like to ride
I'll stop at nothing never take me alive
I'm a man with a fast hand
Lovin' on a last stand
Outlaw quick draw
Evil talkin' bandit man

In the badlands
In the badlands

I got a .45 that'll make you fry
Burn your chassis lassie like the 4th of July
I ride it hard I ride it high
Make love to you till you reach for the sky
I'm a man with a fast hand
Got it on a last stand
Outlaw, quick draw
Evil talkin' bandit man

In the badlands
In the badlands
In the badlands
In the badlands

Well I'm guilty
Saddle up my six pack
Ain't gonna back track
My shooter loaded
Come on girl I'm gonna give you a thrill

In the badlands
In the badlands
In the badlands
In the badlands
In the badlands, looking for a woman
In the badlands, as bad as me
In the badlands, gonna take her with me
In the badlands
Yeah
