1. (Don't Let 'Em) Grind Ya Down
People gonna make ya wonder if you're right
Keep ya wide awake and worried late at night
Why don't ya tell'em to beat it
Why don't ya tell'em to eat it
Just a bunch of clowns
Don't let'em grind ya down
Sons of bitches, crocodile tears in their eyes
We scare'em shitless just by showin' up alive
Why don't you tell'em to shove it
They might as well love it
Give you runaround
Don't let'em grind ya down
Evil bastards ain't got nothin' else to do
Make your life a misery and put you off your food
Don't you dare to go under
Don't let'em steal your thunder
Listen to the sound
Well let'em grind that down
2. Back at the Funny Farm
Hammer pounding in my heart, I think it's gonna burst,
Spring unwinding in my head, I don't know which is worse,
I hear you talking but the words are kinda strange,
One of us is crazy and the other one's insane
Stay Calm, don't be alarmed, it's just a holiday,
Back At The Funny Farm
Nothing in this cold white room to help me recognise,
I don't understand why everyone is in disguise,
I gotta leave right now, I can't stay here no more,
But I'm afraid to try in case they lock the door
Can't find no windows but I gotta get outside,
Can you help me stand it feels like both my legs have died,
What was that injection 'cos I think it's going wrong,
I really like this jacket but the sleeves are much too long
3. One Track Mind
One arm bandit, one way ride,
One arm bandit, one more try,
One way ticket, one horse town,
One way ticket, no way down,
One Track Mind (x4)
Two lane highway, two hand car,
Two lane highway, too damn far,
Two faced women, two time guys,
Two faced women, two black eyes,
One Track Mind (x4)
Three time loser, break the law,
Three time loser, two bit whore,
Three ring circus, free form show,
Three ring circus, way to go,
One Track Mind (x4)
4. Snaggletooth
Though I was done for now, well here´s a big surprise
´Cos I keep coming back, I can´t be exorcised
I´m like a nightmare babe, I´m here to mess with you
I´ll make your hair stand up and I´ll make your lips turn blue
I´m gonna raise your roof
Ring your bell and that´s the truth
Speed don´t kill and I´m the proof
Just call me Snaggletooth
I´ve just been waiting here, and you were late again,
But I knew you´d be back, I hoped you´d bring a friend
I want you to believe that there is no way out
You´re in the snakepit, babe, there´s a lot of it about
I'm gonna raise your roof
Ring your bell and that´s the truth
Speed don´t kill and I´m the proof
Just call me Snaggletooth
So now you know my name, I guess you realise
Don´t try to fight babe, I got you hypnotised
And sometime late tonight you´ll hear the were wolf call
Gonna be old Snaggletooth gotcha by the balls!
I´m gonna raise your roof
Ring your bell and that´s the truth
Speed don´t kill and I´m the proof
Just call me Snaggletooth
5. Iron Fist
Dark night nothing to see
Invisible hand in front of me
Scared to death there's someone near
Scared to move but you can't stay here
You know me, evil eye
You know me, prepare to die
You know me, the snakebite kiss
Devil's grip, the Iron Fist
Flying horse don't make a sound
Flying hooves don't touch the ground
Walk in circle lose you track
Can't go on but you can't go back
You know me, evil eye
You know me, prepare to die
You know me, the snakebite kiss
Devil's grip, the Iron Fist
Moon eclipse and you know why
Ghost rider in the sky
Beast of evil devil's hound
Tooth and claw they pull you down
You know me, evil eye
You know me, prepare to die
You know me, the snakebite kiss
Devil's grip, the Iron Fist
6. The Chase is Better than the Catch
You know I'm bad, the times I've had,
I've got a bad reputation,
I don't care, I get my share,
Don't feel no deprivation,
The more I get the better it is,
I like it fine, like a little whizz,
Treat 'em like ladies, that's a fact,
You know The Chase Is Better Than The Catch
Silver tounged devil, demon lech,
You know just what I'm doing,
I like a little innocent bitch,
You know I ain't just screwing,
I love you baby, love you too much,
I like it fine, I feel your touch,
But your appearance don't hold no class,
You know The Chase Is Better Than The Catch
A little beauty, I love you madly,
Come on home with me,
I know you're hot, I know what you've got,
You know I want to shake your tree,
Come on honey, touch me right there,
Come on honey, don't you get scared,
Come on honey, let me get you in the sack,
You know The Chase Is Better Than The Catch
All right! Let me hear ya!
I can't hear ya!
7. Overkill
Only way to feel the noise is when it's good and loud,
So good you can't believe it's screaming with the crowd,
Don't sweat it, get it back to you,
Overkill, Overkill
On your feet you feel the beat, it goes straight to your spine,
Shake your head you must be dead if it don't make you fly,
Don't sweat it, get it back to you,
Overkill, Overkill
Know your body's made to move, feel it in your guts
Rock 'n' roll ain't worth the name if it don't make you strut,
Don't sweat it, get it back to you,
Overkill, Overkill
8. Capricorn
A thousand nights, I've spent alone,
Solitaire, to the bone,
But I don't mind, I'm my own best friend,
From the beginning, to the end,
My life, my heart, black night, dark star, Capricorn
December's child, the only one,
What I do, is what I've done,
I realise, I get so cold,
When I was young I was already old,
My life, my heart, black night, dark star, Capricorn
I always knew, the only way,
Is never live, beyond today,
They proved me right,
They proved me wrong,
But they could never last this long,
My life, my heart, black night, dark star, Capricorn
