And in the death, as the last few corpses
lay rotting in the slimy thoroughfare, the shutters lifted an inch in Temperance Building high on Poacher's Hill. And red mutant eyes gazed down on Hunger City. No more big wheels. Fleas the size of rats sucked on rats the size of cats. And ten thousand people-oids split into small tribes, coveting the highest of the sterile sky-scrappers, like packs of dogs assaulting the glass fronts of Love Me Avenue. Ripping and re-wrapping mink and shiny silver fox, now leg warmers. Family badge of sapphire and cracked emerald. Any day now, the Year of the Diamond Dogs. This ain't rock 'n' roll, this is GENOCIDE! |

As they pulled you out of the oxygen tent
You asked for the latest party With your silicone hump and your ten inch stump Dressed like a priest you was Tod Browning's freak you was Crawling down the alley on your hands and knee 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?)

Come out of the garden, baby You'll catch your death in the fog Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs The Halloween Jack is a real cool cat And he lives on top of Manhattan Chase The elevator's broke, so he slides down a rope Onto the street below, oh Tarzie, go man go Meet 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 *Repeat Oo-oo-ooh, call them the Diamond Dogs (x2) 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 kitsch (There's gonna be sorrow) try and wake up tomorrow *Repeat Ooh, call them the Diamond Dogs (x2) Bow-wow, woof woof, bow-wow, wow Call them the Diamond Dogs Dogs Call them the Diamond Dogs, call them, call them Call them the Diamond Dogs, call them, call them, ooo Call them the Diamond Dogs Keep cool Diamond Dogs rule, OK Hey-hey-hey-hey Beware of the Diamond Dogs (repeat) |

Its safe in a city to love in a doorway,
to wrangle some screens from the door And isn't me, putting pain in a stranger? Like a portrait in flashin', trails on a leash? Will you see that I'm scared and I'm lonely? So I beak up my room, yawn, and roll into the center rings And you know I once said *Boys, boys, its a sweet thing Boys, boys, its a sweet thing, sweet thing If you want it, boys, get it here, thing 'Cause hole, boys, is a cheap thing, cheap thing I'm glad that you're older than me Makes me feel important and free Does that make you smile, isn't that me? I'm in your way, and I'll steal every moment If this trade is accursed, and I'll bless you and turn to the crossroads, and hamburgers, and *Repeat |

I'll make you deal, like any other candidate
We'll pretend we're walking home 'cause your futures at stake My scent is amazing, it even smells like a street There's a bar at the end where I can meet you and your friend Someone scrawled on the walls "I smell the blood of La Tre Katers" Rolled up scandal, and other bars Having so much fun with the poisonous people, spreading rumors and lies and stories they made up Some make you sing, and some make you scream One makes you wish that you'd never been seen But there's a shop on the corner thats selling papier m?h' Making bullet-proof faces, Charlie Manson, Cassius Clay If you want it, boys, get it here, thing So you scream out of line "I want you! I need you! Anyone out there? Any time?" Trey butch little number one say "Daddy, I want you" When its good, its really good, and when its bad I go to pieces If you want it, boys, get it here, thing On the street where you live I put a hole in my head, for I put all I had in another bed On another floor, in the back of a car In the cellar of a church with the *toy jar* {?} Well, I guess we must be looking for a different kind, but we can't stop trying 'til we break up our minds 'Til the sun drips blood on the seedy young knights who press you on the prowl while shaking in fright I guess we'll cruise down one more time, with you by my side, it should be fine We'll buy some drugs and watch a band We'll jump in the river holding hands |

You always were the one, that you
They sold us for the likes of you I always wanted new surroundings A room to rent while the lizards lay crying in the heat Trying to remember who to meet I would take a foxey kind of stand While tens of thousands found me and give in When you rock and roll with me, no one else I'd rather be Nobody here can do it for me I'm in tears again, when you rock 'n' roll with me Gentle hearts are counted down The cue is out of sight and out of sounds Me, I'm out of breath, but not quite down ten I've found the door which lets me out! When you rock and roll with me, no one else I'd rather be Nobody down here can do it for me I'm in tears again, when you rock 'n' roll with me Oooo-oo-oo-oo Oh, when you rock and roll with me, there's no one else I'd rather be, oh Nobody down here can do it for me When you rock and roll with me When you rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll with me, yeah No one else I'd rather, I'd rather be Nobody down here can do it for me Well, I'm in tears, I'm in tears When you rock and roll with me |

Something kind of hit me today
I looked at you, wondered if you saw things my way People will hold us to blame It hit me today, it hit me today We're taking it hard all the time Why don't we pass it by? Just reply, you've changed your mind We're fighting with the eyes of a lie Taking it hard, taking it hard But now We feel that we are paid for, choking on you nightly They tell me "Son, we want you." Be elusive, but don't walk far For we're breaking in the new boys, deceive your next of kin For your dancing where the dogs decay, defecating ecstasy You're just an ally of the leecher Procreator for the virgin king, but I love you in your funky pumps And your nimble dress betrayals Oh, dress yourself, my urchin one, for I hear them on the rails Because of all we've seen, because of all we've said We are the dead One thing kind of touched me today I looked at you and counted all the times we had laid Pressing our love through the night Knowing it's right, knowing it's right Now I'm hoping some one will care Living on the breath of a hope to be shared Trusting on the sums of our love, that some one will care, some one will care But no...i..ho We're todays scrambled creatures locked in tomorrows double feature Heavens on the pillow, its silence competes with hell It's a twenty-four hour service, guaranteed to make you tell And the streets are full of brass men, bent on getting hung and buried And the legendary curtains are drawn 'round baby bankrupt, who sucks you while you're sleeping It's the theater of financiers, count them, fifteen 'round the table, white and dressed to kill Oh, caress yourself, my juicy, for my hands have all but whithered Oh, dress yourself my urchin one, for I hear them on the stairs Because of all we've seen, because of all we've said We are the dead We are dead We are the dead |

We played love all my movie roll You said it would last, but I guess we've grown In 1984, who could ask for more 1984, who could ask for mor-or-or-or-ore Mor-or-or-or-ore 1984 1984 1984, more 1984, 1984, more 1984 |

I stood stone-like at midnight suspended in my masquerade
I combed my hair till it was just right and commanded the night brigade I was open to pain and crossed by the rain and I walked on a crooked crutch I strolled all alone through a fallout zone and came out with my soul untouched I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd but when they said "Sit down" I stood up. Ooh-ooh growin' up The flag of piracy flew from my mast, my sails were set wing to wing I had a jukebox graduate for first mate, she couldn't sail but she sure could sing, I pushed B-52 and bombed 'em with the blues with my gear set stubborn on standing I broke all the rules, strafed my old high school, never once gave thought to landing, I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd but when they said "Come down" I threw up Ooh-ooh growin' up I took month-long vacations in the stratosphere and you know it's really hard to hold your breath. I swear I lost everything I ever loved or feared, I was the cosmic kid in full costume dress Well, my feet they finally took root in the earth but I got me a nice little place in the stars And I swear I found the key to the universe in the engine of an old parked car I hid in the mother breast of the crowd but when they said "Pull down" I pulled up Ooh-ooh growin' up.
