1. Love's An Injection

I can't get, get any closer
You're so distant, so far away
Am I losing you?..
This fix of love... will cool you down for awhile
I know... how bad it was before
You told me we could make it somehow if we really try

But where's the love
Where's all the money we saved

Love's floating to the beat on the 42nd Street
And money killed the love we tried so hard... to keep

Remember how love was wild
Remember how love was real

Love's hot, love's an injection – yeah yeah

Now that... we're out of control
Give me a try, one more try
Am I too young for you?..
The city streets look so cold so don't throw me out
I know things will turn out good
And they'll be just like they were before if we really try (really try)

Don't throw me out
And don't throw me out
No

2. I Want You

Oh, we're gonna make this a big one

I'm checking out my native city
I can feel the blood in my veins
And my nerves are weak and my heart is just about... to collapse

Oh, I'm kind of desperate, something must happen
I'll leave for a chance right now
And I'll leave a for rock'n'roll ride
So come on, don't stop

I want you, it's too fast now
I want you I'm feelin' just fine
I want you... to kill this pressure
It's getting much too high

You asked me how long I've played electric guitar
And you asked for my autograph
And you asked if I mix up my whiskey with water
I tell you 'Be sure'

Oh, I'm kind of desperate, something must happen
I'll leave for a chance right now
And I'll leave a for rock'n'roll ride
So come on, don't stop
So come on

I want you, it's too fast now
I want you I'm feelin' just fine
I want you... to kill this pressure
It's getting much too high
Much too high

Hang on

3. Cafe Avenue

I was feeling hungry
I didn't have no money, no
But I was like you'd say... 'off the hook'
And sometimes it hit me quite hard

I started searching... for what I don't know
I suppose I started searching, searching for money and fame

Yes I wild, wild, wild, wild through the night
Sometimes blind, blind, blind until it was light
But it was my life

I got prostituted
I just had to get some money, y'know
But let me tell you... the more I got... the faster it went
Sometimes there in the danger... of not getting paid
But sometimes I was out... all night... offering the service I gave
Yes I was

Yes I was wild, wild, wild, wild through the night
Sometimes blind, blind, blind until it was light

Cafe Avenue, I'm comin' back to you once more
To see the same old fools and freaks... sitting at the same old tables
Cafe Avenue, I'm comin' back to you once more
You still remember how bad... things were once before

It makes no difference how you are
It makes no difference how you look... in the Cafe Avenue

But now I've found a shelter
And things have turned out much better, yeah
Oh let me tell you
Nowadays it's so easy to look back

Sometimes there in the danger (d-d-d-danger)... of not getting paid
Sometimes I was out... all night... offering the service I gave
Ha

Cafe Avenue, I'm comin' back to you once more
To see the same old fools and freaks... sitting at the same old tables, yeah
Cafe Avenue, I'm comin' back to you once more
You still remember how bad, bad... things were once before

4. Nothing New

Monster time again

You see people on the streets
The talk of the town... wherever you go to
They come to your home
They operate you by the telephone, you know

Coca cola propaganda
Religion, a cult they're telling you
They're telling you it's the only truth
Oh yes they do

You try to escape but there's nowhere to hide
So you turn on your TV screen
It's black and white, politics all night
But who really pays the bill?

Nothing new going on inside of you

You see people on the streets
The talk of the town... wherever you go to
There's not a place to run to
They never let you go

Nothing new going on inside of you
I said nothing new going on inside of you
Nothing new going on inside of you

5. Kill City Kills

Oh the street is cold
I'm all alone
I've got some money, don't know... what to spend it on
So I take a bus, I see her face
Where did she go, she was here... just a moment ago

I've got love, love so strange
And now my life must be – rearranged
So down the subway
The lights kind of make me know... what to do, yes they do, oh oh
Oh no

Kill City kills, kills me slowly
Kill City kills, breaks me down
Kill City kills me now, oh no
Oh no

I've got love, love so strange
And now my life must be – rearranged
So down the subway
The lights kind of make me know... what to do, yes they do, oh oh

Kill City kills, kills me slowly
Kill City kills, breaks me down
Kill City kills me now, oh no
Oh oh, babe

Kill City kills, kills me slowly
Kill City kills, breaks me down
Kill City kills me now, oh no
Oh no, alright

6. Self Destruction Blues

It was a Monday morning... when the blues came falling on me
It was a Monday morning... when the blues came falling on me
Now it's Saturday evening... and still got a hold on me

It was a Monday morning... when my baby left me
It was a Monday morning... when my baby left me
Now she's walking down the street... and stopping every man she meets

Now I'm sitting at the table... with a breakfast made for two
Sitting at the table... with a breakfast made for two
Oh please, dear Lord, help me get rid of my self destruction blues

7. Beer And A Cigarette

Well I met her yesterday
She just came into my way and I was so surprised
She told me that she loved me
Always would be true to me, never tell no lies to me
She said her love was free

And I thought... that I might... just... take a chance on her
Try hard... to get... into her
You know what I did

I told her that I love her, told her that I care
I said I'd be free to ride and to do it anywhere

Never want no love affair
I just like the clothes you wear
There's one thing I gotta do before I... kiss you

I wanna beer and a cigarette
I've got to get myself an ice cold beer
I wanna beer and a cigarette
And I need a cigarette
Well I, I didn't come here for no fix
I just need a beer

I wanna beer and a cigarette
Oh babe, I got to get myself
I need a beer and a cigarette
Lord, theres only two things on my mind
I wanna beer and a cigarette
Oh
Too much ain't enough
I need a beer and a cigarette
Well and a cigarette, and beer
Yeah

8. Whispers In The Dark

I saw you looking at me in the eye
I was hypnotized, so surprised
A memory from another time hit me from behind
Where could I hide

Don't touch me, don't ask me
If I remember... how I met you, I left you
Oh please don't remind me
Forget me, don't kiss me, don't touch me again
I can't forget, can't forget, can't forget you

And in my mind I think of old times
Sometimes at night... I cry till it's light

This jealousy is burning
These tears I see are slowly killing me, slowly killing me
Now that I've had to face what I've lost
It's time to pay... the price for my lies

And in my mind I think of old times
I can't forget... your whispers in the dark

I can't forget... your whispers in the dark
I can't forget, can't forget, can't forget
Sometimes I cry... when I fall asleep
I can't forget, can't forget, can't forget
Whispers in the dark

9. Taxi Driver

Oww ow!

I'll be a taxi driver for you, honey, take you anywhere you want to
Just call on me... I'll take you anywhere you want to

I'm a milkman for you, babe, I'll milk you anytime you want to
I'll be a milkman for you, babe, I'll milk you anytime you want to
Just call on me... and you can milk me if you want to

Just call me on the telephone
Oh baby, I wasn't at home
Sometimes you reach me, sometimes you don't
Sometimes when I'm all alone

Oow!

I'll be a taxi driver for you, honey, take you anywhere you want to
Call me up, I'll take you anywhere you want to

Call me on the telephone
Oh, I wasn't at home
Sometimes you'll reach me, sometimes you don't
Sometimes when I'm all alone

Ow!

Just call me on the telephone
Pity for you sister, I wasn't at home
Sometimes you'll reach me, sometimes you don't
Sometimes when I'm all alone

You just call me on the telephone
Oh I know it's all but I wasn't at home
Sometimes you reach me, sometimes you don't
Sometimes when I'm all alone

I'll be your taxi driver
Yeah I drive

10. Desperados

I know you were lonely till you found yourself with us
Now we're the only company you need to find comfort in the night
The bank robbery is your life

We gave you a knife, we gave you a Smith and Wesson
We gave you ourselves to trust on
Women get out of our way 'cause if you stay you gotta pray for your lives

We came today to check out the situation
But we'll be back soon in full attack
Tonight we'll drink till dawn as we sing our outlaw songs

Ten thousand heartaches, baby
Ten thousand heartaches now
Ten thousand heartaches, baby, could never break this cowboy heart of mine

We'll kill all the men and rape all the women
Sometimes we'll even shoot down the children
outlaws don't feel no pity and outlaws is what we are

We both come floating down the street
We shoot down anyone we see
Outlaws don't feel no pity because of what we are
We sing desperados

We are the desperados
We brought the death... to El Dorado
We are the desperados
We're like... tornadoes

This town won't ever rise up again... and you'll never see us again
And the woman who tried to break my heart, now her head and body are apart
The tales we tell for generations... to come about the fires and somewhere in the night
You can still hear the melody, but it's the memory that's scaring you

Ten thousand heartaches, baby
Ten thousand heartaches now
Don't look back and worldwide
We brought death... to El Dorado

11. Problem Child

I'm in a problem, can't find a solution
Problem, give me the solution
Problem, I'm causing confusion
Problem

Energy... pushing in my blood
I could kill myself but I haven't... got the guts
Oh no

Well it's a Saturday night, I got nothin' to lose
I'm all out of money, I'm all out of booze
I'm walking down the street, I'm in the need of blues

Problem child
And I'm wild

I'm in the need to break all the rules
I'm in a problem – problem – problem – problem – problem – problem
Problem child

12. Dead By X-Mas

Friday is the 13th... to 24th
It's not so long to go
Though my face don't show... my temperature, it's gettin' too low
I've seen it all in a dream
I know just how it's gonna feel
I'd like... not to be alive anymore

I'll be dead by X'mas now anyway
Tell me will you remember me that day when you've found a new one who's better than I ever was
I'll be dead by X'mas now anyway
Please give all my things away
They'll make great X'mas presents for you and for all my friends

It hurts so inside to see you with another... from the edge of a cloud
Whatever happened to the promises that you gave... before the angels took me away
So here I'm all... dressed in white... while you're drinking up my best red wine...
And you don't realize that I'm with you all the time

It's getting so lonely without you... and I'm sure, I am jealous too
To see another man in my bed...
Be sure I can't get no rest before you're up there with me
Come up, come up, come up, come up

I've been dead since X'mas now anyway
So leave the flowers on my grave
There's sure a way you could join me any day around now honey
You'll be dead by X'mas now anyway
You'll lay beside me in our family grave
We'll be making love eternally in a spiritual way
We'll be dead by X'mas now anyway
We'll sell everything away...

Dead by X'mas, dead and gone
X'mas is forever
Dead by X'mas, dead and gone
X'mas is...
