My new purple shoes Bin amazin' the people next door And my rock'n'roll forty fives Bin enragin' the folks on the lower floor I got a way with the girls on my block Try my best to be a real individual And when we go down to smokies and rock They line up like it's some kind of ritual Oh give me a good guitar And you can say that my hair's a disgrace Or just find me an open car I'll make the speed of light outa this place I like the good things in life But most of the best things ain't free It's the same situation just cuts like a knife When you're young and you're poor and you're crazy Young and you're crazy... Oh give me a good guitar And you can say that my hair's a disgrace Or just find me an open car I'll make the speed of light outa this place Dislocate your spine if you don't sign He says I'll have you seeing double Mesmerize you when he's tongue tied Simply with those eyes ooh Synchronize your minds and see The beast within him rise Don't look back don't look back It's a rip off Flick of the wrist and you're dead baby Blow him a kiss and you're mad Flick of the wrist he'll eat your heart out A dig in the ribs and then a kick in the head He's taken an arm and taken a leg All this time honey baby you've been had Intoxicate your brain with what I'm sayin' If not you'll lie in knee deep trouble Prostitute yourself he says Castrate your human pride ooh Sacrifice your leisure days Let me squeeze you 'till you've dried Don't look back don't look back It's a rip off Work my fingers to my bones I scream with pain I still make no impression Seduce you with his money make machine Cross collateralise big time money money Reduce you to a muzak fake machine Then the last goodbye Flick of the wrist and you're dead baby Blow him a kiss and you're mad Flick of the wrist he'll eat your heart out A dig in the ribs and then a kick in the head He's taken an arm and taken a leg All this time honey baby you've been had Baby you've been had I am forever searching high and low But why does everybody tell me no Neptune of the seas an answer for me please The lily of the valley doesn't know I lie and wait with open eyes I carry on thru' stormy skies I follow ev'ry course my kingdom for a horse But each time I grow old Serpent of the Nile relieve me for a while And cast me from your spell and let me go Messenger from seven seas has flown To tell the king of Rhye he's lost his throne Wars will never cease Is there time enough for peace? The lily of the valley doesn't know
