White Lines[]
Freeze! Rock!
(Rang-dang-diggidy-dang-a-dang)
Freeze! Rock!
(Rang-dang-diggidy-dang-a-dang)
Freeze! Rock!
Rang-dang-diggidy-dang-a-dang-diggidy-dang-a-dang-diggidy-dang-a-dang
Freeze! Rock!
Rang-dang-diggidy-dang-a-dang Rang-dang-diggidy-dang-a-dang
Rang-dang-diggidy-dang-a-dang-diggidy-dang-a-dang-diggidy-dang-a-dang
Aaaah... AAaah... AAAah... AAAAhh
White! Ooh-white!
White! Ooh-white!
White! Ooh-white!
White! Ooh-white!
(White Lines) Vision dreams of passion
(Going through my mind) And all the while I think of you
(Pipeline) A very strange reaction
(Yours to unwind) The more I see, the more I do
Something of a phenomenon, telling your body to come along
Cause White Lines - blow away..
Blow! Rock! Blow!
Ticket to ride a white-line highway,
Tell all your friends they can go my way
Pay your toll, sell your soul,
Pound for pound it costs more than gold
The longer you stay, the more you pay,
My white lines go a long way
Either up your nose or to your vein -
With nothing to gain except killing your brain.
Freeze! (say rock, come on y'all)
Rock (say freeze, come on!)
Freeze! (say rock, come on y'all)
Rock (say freeze, come on!)
Freeze! (say rock, come on)
Rock (say freeze, come on!)
Freeze! (say rock, come on)
Rock (put 'em up, put 'em Up, put 'em UP!)
Aaaaah... Higher baby, AAaaah... get higher baby,
AAAAAhh... get higher baby, AAAAHHH!
And don't ever come down... Free base!

Rang-dang-diggidy-dang-a-dang
Rang-dang-diggidy-dang-a-dang
Rang-dang-diggidy-dang-a-dang-diggidy-dang-a-dang-diggidy-dang-a-dang
Pipeline (pure as the driven snow) connected to my mind
(and now I'm having fun, baby!)
Highrise (it's getting kind of low) 'cause it makes you feel so nice.
(I need some one on one, baby!)
Tell me it'll blow your mind away, (baby)
Going to your little hideaway
'Cause white lines (what do white lines do?)
Blow away..
Blow! Rock! Blow!
A million magic crystals painted pure and white,
A multi-million dollars almost overnight
Twice as sweet as sugar, twice as bitter as salt
And if you get hooked baby, it's nobody else's fault -
So don't do it!
(chorus)
-
(Don't you get too high) Don't you get too high, baby
(It turns you on) You really turn me on and on
(Can't you ever come down) My temperature is rising,
('Til the thrill is gone) No! I don't want you to go.
A street kid gets arrested, gonna do some time,
He got out three years from now just to commit more crime.
A businessman is caught with twenty four kilos,
He's out on bail, and out of jail, and that's the way it goes!
(Rock!)
Cane! Sugar! (suger)
Cane! (cane) Sugar! (suger)
Cane!
Athletes reject it, governor's correct it
Gangsters, punks, and smugglers are thoroughly respected
The money gets divided, the women get excited
Now I'm broke and it's no joke,
It's hard as hell to fight it - don't buy it!
(chorus) (chorus)

Watching the Detectives[]
Nice girls not one with a defect Cellophane shrink-wrapped so correct Red dogs under illegal legs She looks so good that he gets down and begs She is watching the detectives, oh he's so cute She is watching the detectives When they shoot shoot shoot shoot. They beat him up until the teardrops start. But he can't be wounded cos he's got no heart Long shot of that jumping sign Visible shivers running down my spine Cut the baby taking off her clothes Close-up of the sign that says "we never close" You snatch a tune, you match a cigarrette. She pulls the eyes out with a face like a magnet I don't know how much more of this I can take She filing her finger nails while they're dragging the lake (chorus) Now you think you're alone until you realize you're in it Now fear is here to stay love is here for a visit. They call it instant justice when it's past the legal limit. Someone's scratching at the window. I wonder who is it? The detectives come to check if you belong to the parents Who are ready to hear the worst about their daughter's disappearance. Though it nearly took a miracle to get you to stay It only took my little fingers to blow you away Just like watching the detectives. Don't get cute It's just like watching the detectives. I get so angry when the tear-drops start But he can't be wounded cause he's got no heart. Watching the detectives. It's just like watching the detectives. Watching the detectives. Watching the detectives.
Lay Lady Lay[]
Lay lady lay lay across my big brass bed Lay lady lay lay across my big brass bed Whatever colors you have in your mind I show them to you and you see them shine Lay lady lay lay across my big brass bed Stay lady stay stay with your man a while Until the break of day let me see you make him smile His clothes are dirty but his, his hands are clean And you are the best thing that he's ever seen Stay lady stay stay with your man a while Why wait any longer for the world to begin you can have your cake and eat it, too Why wait any longer for the one you love when he's standing in front of you Lay lady lay lay across my big brass bed Stay lady stay stay while the night is still ahead I long to see you in the morning light I long to reach for you in the night Stay lady stay stay while the night is still ahead

'Cos we love success ('cos we love success)
Crystal Ship[]
Before you slip into unconsciousness I'd like to have another kiss Another flashing chance at bliss Another kiss, another kiss The days are bright and filled with pain Enclose me in your gentle rain The time you ran was too, insane We'll meet again, we'll meet again So tell me where your freedom lies The streets are fields that never die Deliver me from reasons why - You'd rather cry, I'd rather fly The crystal ship is being filled A thousand girls, a thousand thrills A million ways to spend your time - When we get back, I'll drop a line
Ball of Confusion[]
People moving out People moving in (Why?) Because of the color of their skin Run, run, run, but you sure can't hide An eye for an eye A tooth for a tooth Vote for me, I'll set you free Rap on brother, rap on Well the only person talking about "love thy brother" is a preacher It seems nobody's interested in learning but the teacher Segregation, domination, demonstration, integration Aggravation, humiliation, obligation to the nation!
Thank You[]
If the sun refused to shine, I would still be lovin' you. When mountains crumble, to the sea, There will still be you and me. Kind woman, I give you my all, Kind woman, nothing more. Little drops of rain, whisper of the pain, Tears of loves lost in the days gone by. My love is strong With you there is no wrong, Together we shall go until we die. Inspiration is what you are to me, Inspiration, look see.
Drive By[]
It was the hottest day in July And all along Santa Monica Blvd cars were stood still And a gleaming metal tube Would stretch all the way from Highland Back to La Brea. And she met under Los Angeles sunshine Young man was sitting at the wheel On his way to make a pickup Turned off the air-con Rolled down the window And began to sweat Out over the Hollywood hills He saw the clouds building Like great dark towers of rain Ready to come tumbling down Any day now Not a day too soon (any day now) And as the music drifted in From other cars His eyes started to slip This is the story of his dream Silver... (Sing Blue Silver, Sing Sing Blue Silver) This is the story of his dream... And so today, my world it smiles, Your hand in mine, we walk the miles, Thanks to you it will be done, For you to me are the only one. Happiness, no more be sad, Happiness....I'm glad. (Chorus)
Needle and the Damage Done[]
I caught you knocking on my cellar door I love you baby, can I have some more Ooh...ooh, the damage done I hit the city and I lost my band I watched the needle take another man Gone, gone, the damage done Ooh...ooh. I sing this song because I love the man I know that some of you don't understand We'll learn to keep from running out I've seen the needle and the damage done A little part of it in everyone But every junkie's like the setting sun
Diamond Dogs[]
As they pulled you out of the oxygen tent You asked for the latest party With your silicone hump and your ten inchy stump Dressed like a priest you was Tod Browning beast you was Crawling down the alley on your hands and knees, I'm sure you're not protected For it's plain to see The diamond dogs are poachers and they hide behind trees Hunt you to the ground they will Mannequins with kill-appeal Will they come? I keep a friend serene Will they come? Oh, baby, come unto me Will they come? Well, she's come, been, and gone Come out of the garden, baby You'll catch a death in the fog Young girl, they call them the diamond dogs Young girl, they call them the diamond dogs Now Halloween Jack is a real cool cat And he lives on top of Manhattan Chase The elevators broke, so he slides down a rope Onto the street below Oh Tarzie, go man, go Meets his little hussy with his ghost town approach Her face is sans feature, but she wears a Dali brooch Sweetly reminiscent, something mother used to bake Wrecked up and paralyzed Diamond dogs are sable-ized Will they come? I keep a friend serene Will they come? Oh, baby, come unto me Will they come? Well, she's come, been, and gone (chorus) In the year of the scavenger, the season of the bitch Sashay on the boardwalk, scurry to the ditch Just another future song, lonely little kitch There's gonna be sorrow, try and wake up tomorrow Will they come? I keep a friend serene Will they come? Oh, baby, come unto me Will they come? Well, she's come, been, and gone
