1. Suicide City
Behind a cold, black wall where we´ve lost it all
You can meet me on a dead-end street
Deep down inside there´s more than meets the eye
I´m fighting just to stay on my feet
I´ve gone to hell, I`m never coming back
Now, I`ve got my place to stay
And one more time there`ll be trouble tonight
Hanging on but I`m losin` my way
I keep runnin`, my head keeps hummin`
Underneath the hungry neon signs
In a fractured mirror my face ain`t getting clearer
I`m drownin` in these lies
`Cause it`s pain and disgrace in this Suicide City
Fightin for your life, trying not to lose your mind
You won`t live to see the end in this Suicide City
Fallin` apart just about overnight
Well I`m trapped in the heart of the town
Got nowhere to go, there ain`t no way to get around
I`m gone to waste, I`ve lost my taste and
In no time I will be hittin` the ground
Need no shoes, there ain`t nowhere to walk
Just keep a-rollin` dice
You`ll be drowned in the big, cheap talk
Welcome to paradise
-chorus-
We`ll, you`re tall, But that`s all
I`ve seen it all before, You will fall
I shake my torso more so I`m the king of Korso
Now, just a-burnin` it up
The nightshow`s off, It´s time to hit the sack
But you know we`ll all be back
2. Sweet Darling Underground
Now, it`s just another night and you`re way out of your line again
You`re just a-wastin` time tryin`to kill your pain
And since the day that you flew away it just ain`t the way it`s meant to be
You do a line, livin` in a lie, you`re so wasted that you just can`t see
And since the day I lost your number
The way I feel I might as well have just a-pulled you under, my
Sweet Darling Underground
Sweet Darling Underground
I´m tellin` you
There ain`t no way you could be found my
Sweet Darling Underground
With an empty gaze you stare, no one knows that you`re so alone
Waitin` for the daylight come, dreamin` of someone takin` you way back home
Life in a tube, you`ve got nothin` to lose, after all, you`ve had so much to see
But I doubt if you recall the times we shared, now my heart is gettin` dark within
And since the day you burned my number
Lookin` back, you`ve gone so low, now I never took it as a wonder
3. Face to the Wall
You say you`ll be whatever I want you to be for a night
I burn my tongue on your red hot skin
While I stare into your frozen eyes
There ain`t no bones about it, I`ve been misunderstood
Now, it never seems to end up just the way it should
I like it easy, I like it cheap
Just the way I know that you could
So, let`s make it groovin`
Now, it`s all you need
Time to get movin
Down on fours, I`m gonna keep you off your feet
With your
Face To the Wall
Now, it`s you with your
Face To the Wall
And so, I called you up in the middle of the night
They said that they ain`t seen you in this life
Now it`s six bang one time, it`s making me burn
I know my Hollywood will never learn
And we make it groovin`
You`re against the wall
Time to get movin`
Come the dawn, we`re hot on social call
4. Can't Get My Love
Girl, you`re trying to love me
But all I feel is pain you give me
What could I use your love for
I love loneliness, you see
You want the money, a peek-a-boutique, it´s all you ever knew
The taste of love, it`s all the same, my city, your avenue
I wanna make you a woman right about tonight
And in the end make everything allright
Now, I can see your smile right before my eyes
Nights in a million bars would never make it right
You Can`t Get My Love
I`m so far away from you
Can`t Get My Love
There ain`t a thing that we could do
Can`t Get My Love
I never knew that you loved me so
It`s 8 years gone by and you can`t let go
I`ve been hunting high and low
Well how little did I know
And through the years of danger I went through the things that should`ve never been told
One foot on the gas and the other in hell, feelin` like hundred years old
I`m gonna make you a woman right about tonight
In the end it makes everything allright
Now, will I still see the stars shining in your eyes
Four walls, they can`t be wrong, could never feel so right
5. Bang Na Chang
6. Wall of Woman
I used to think but now I don`t even care
The way I see it, I`d rather go nowhere
Barful of strangers that all seem friends
Heart of the city where it never ends
From the 12th and Klang we come out with a bang
A mean son of a beach and so far out of reach
Cold Mary, Bloody Mary
One in my head, one in my arms
Can`t return if you don`t first walk away
Now, could it do no harm
Now, I`m trapped behind
A Wall Of Women
We`re all trapped behind
The Wall Of Women
We are
Ain`t gonna talk about it, we just walk about it
The only way it could be and I will never agree
It`s always been that way to me
Who would you fool, it`s just so hard to believe
-chorus-
Now, you know, I`m dying with hell in my hand
There ain`t no hope in this loveless land
7. Blind in Texas
