Crack The Sky

You're semi-macho till the sun goes down
Just like the Wolfman you want to stay around
The pressure builds with every drop off the chart you take
You'd like to stop but you've only just started to make it
Your doctor says that you've got to give it up
Your wife she says that she's had about enough
Turn up the music cause you're loosing the words
Turn up the bottle cause you're loosing your nerve
YOU'RE IN POPTOWN HONEY
YOU'RE IN POPTOWN HONEY
YOU'RE IN POPTOWN HONEY
THE SUN ALWAYS SHINES ON YOU

The papers say you're sounding better than ever
you'd like to tell someone but they've all left ya
It doesn't matter cause you're back on top
And now you swear that you'll never ever drop again

Repeat chorus

Sing songs of Soviet sons
Hear the screaming of the midnight guns
Send your children to America
Where they can live like kings
Sing songs of Soviet sons
Hear the rain and the soldiers run
Send your family to America
Where they can live in peace

Daddy don't you know
It's no different anywhere
Daddy don't you know
We love it here
Daddy you're a fool
If you believe
Those stories of a better world across the sea
Oh, no, we're staying here
We're staying

Sing songs of Soviet sons
Wipe the tears of the frozen ones
Keep your family close to you
And you can live like kings
Sing songs of Soviet sons

She's no fun anymore
She's no fun anymore
I can tell that there's something wrong
'cause she's no fun anymore
She walks lightly
They meet nightly
They talk lighly so I don't wake up
And catch her in his arms
She says oh no, you're so wrong
She says oh no, you're so wrong
Suspicion, it's got the best of me
Suspicion, it's got the best of me

She won't rock with me
She won't roll with me
She's been rollin' all night
I can tell by the way she walks
He's a big, big man
He's a big, big man
He's much bigger than me
I can tell by the way she walks

Repeat chorus

Cindy I don't want to catch you in his car
Cindy you don't have to play with me no more
All the boys are telling stories about you
I don't want to hear no stories about you
Cindy you don't have to run around any more
Cindy you don't have to prove to me that you can score
When you dance with the boys in the street
Can't you see that it's tearing me apart

Hot Razors in my Heart
Heart Hot Razors in my Heart

Cindy you don't have to make me crawl no more
We can make it better than it was before
Tell the boys you belong to me
Tell them anything but stop this bleeding in my heart

Hot Razors in my Heart
Heart Hot Razors in my Heart

Don't tell your mother I'm here
Don't tell your mother I'm here
Don't tell your mother I'm here tonight
She thinks I'm like all the rest
She thinks I'm gonna take you downstairs and get the best of you
Don't tell your father I'm here tonight
He doesn't like me too much
He thinks I'm gonna get away with a little too much of you

But it's all right
Parents are all alike
They want an All American Boy
An All American Boy
Someone they can trust with their All American Girl

I think that they know that I'm here with you
Your daddy's coming downstairs
He's gonna tell me to stay very far away from you
It doesn't matter what you tell them now
I've seen this happen before
I'm not exactly what they have in mind or in store for you

When we're dancing on the lawn
Pink flamingos on the lawn
White music in the street
White music in the street
When we're swimming in the pool
Pink flamingo barbeque
White music before dark
White music before dark

Take it like it is
No blues, no beat
Take it like it is
No roots, it's just neat
To play white music in the street

When the band plays at the club
Pink flamingos country club
White music for dessert
White music after work

Take it like it is
No blues, no beat
Take it like it is
No roots, it's just neat
To play white music in the street

Oh how they look when we are walking down the street
I know they wish that they could change places with me
They see my suit they see my blue Mercedes Benz
They see Miss January's more than just a friend
I don't believe them
When they tell me life is more than
Skin, skin, skin, skin, skin, skin deep

I live in Hollywood cause it's my kind of town
I watch the tourists taking pictures of my house
I keep a dozen girls to lie around the pool
I get my kicks from watching other people drool

I don't believe them
When they tell me life is more than
Skin, skin, skin, skin, skin, skin deep

Oh how they look when we are walking down the street
I know they wish that they could change places with me
They try to see my life as shallow and depraved
But any one of them would love to be this way

I don't believe them
When they tell me life is more than
Skin, skin, skin, skin, skin, skin deep

I'm living with the lights on
I'm gonna keep my house warm
I'm gonna drive a big car
All around the town
I'm living with the lights on
I'm living with the lights on
I'm gonna smoke my cigarettes
Don't care about the big jets
I'm gonna fill my big car up
With gas, gas, gas, gas, gas
I'm living with the lights on
I'm living with the lights on
I'm talking with the Russians
I'm gonna make all the friends I can
I'm gonna have a good time
'Cause I don't believe you

Oh, I could be a hero
I could be a lover of a thousand movie queens
I could be a hero
I could be anything
Caught in the sunrise
And I'm blinded by the light
Caught in the moonrise
And I'm blinded by the night

Chorus:
Fall asleep in the afternoon
How do you know?
Fall asleep in the May of June
How do you, how do you, how do you, how do you know?
How do you know?

Bored in the city
And I'm trampled by the street.
Bored in the country
And I'm trampled by the heat.

Repeat chorus

Bad dreams never stay too long,
They always go away by the break of day.
So, just sleep when things go wrong,
They go away, leave with the day.

Repeat chorus

Sleep is night begins my day
Dreams are real and near is away
I close my mind off from the light
My day is sleep begins by night

All those stories in my head
Come to life atop by bed
I doze my mind off from the light
My day is sleep begins by night

Oh, I could be a hero
I could be a lover of a thousand movie queens
I could be a hero
I could be anything, anything in my dreams.

Take a ride to the other side of the town
Your eyes are open wide, look around
And find out where you're going
Social lady is a lawnchair wife,
With a new hairstyle, and a different life
Sleeps alone in her bed at night.

Chorus:
I don't have a tie
To wear to your affair
I don't have a tie to wear.
I don't have a tie
To wear to your affair
I don't have a tie to wear.

Take a ride to the other side of the town
Your eyes are open wide, look around
And find out where you're going

Heavy Mary has to dance alone
Till her weekend man comes to take her home
Mary's ready, but she has to say no.

Repeat chorus

Oh, play children
Play the game for free
Oh, play children
Play the game for free

Take a ride to the other side of the town
Your eyes are open wide, look around
And find out where you're going

Give a hand to your favorite son
When he tries to walk and you make him run,
Run son

Repeat chorus

When the summer night has changed its warmer breezes to the icy cold of silent winter freezes, will you be there?
When the flowers in the windows of the neighbors start to bow their frozen heads and to leave us, will I see you there?

Chorus:
Will you stand by me against the cold night,
Or are you afraid of the ice?
Afraid of the ice?
Ice.

When the waters of the roaring ocean bring a chilling feeling and the beach is closing, are you near me?
When the cloudy skies are blocking out the sun and suddenly your nose has begun to run, do you still hear me?

Repeat chorus

Will you stand by me against the cold
Will you stand by me against the cold
Will you stand by me against the cold
Ice

Oh, dad, what will we do?
I got another letter from Ronnie's teacher at school.
She said, it's almost cruel
None of the other kids thinks Ronnie's cool.
The guys think he's a queer because he doesn't drink beer or watch football.
And all the little girls stay away because he's just too fat,
A fat little brat
Chorus:
I guess we need robots for Ronnie
A stainless steel group of chums
Robots for Ronnie
A boy and a girl
Maybe an aluminum cat

Every day he's in his room
He doesn't lock the door because he knows it's really no use
I mean, nobody's even been up there
If Ronnie were to blow up, I don't think anyone would care
He doesn't brush his teeth because he never talks to no one.
He doesn't wipe his feet because he's never coming in.
Comin in?

Repeat chorus

We can talk about the old days,
With parties and dances and leads in class plays;
But all of the memories he'll have
Are plugging in a friend and shining up a cat.

Repeat chorus

She's a dancer
And she sparkles and she shines.
She's an attractor
Oh she loves to wine and dine.
They say she's a lady,
But I just don't know

Alright, I like the way she moves
Alright, I like the way she moves
Alright

She's a dancer
And all the boys have fun.
They attract her
And she keeps them on the run.
They say she's a lady,
But I have my doubts.

Alright, I like the way she moves
Alright, I like the way she moves
Alright

When I look into her eyes
I can see through his disguise
Oh, am I surprised

When I look into her eyes
I can see through his disguise
Oh, am I surprised

He's a dancer
And he sparkles and he shines.
He's a attractor
Oh he loves to wine and dine.
They say he's a lady,
Oh yes I know

Alright, I like the way he moves
Alright, I like the way he moves
Alright, I like the way he moves
Alright

Well I was talking to a mirror image of what supposedly was to be me
And the eyes and the nose and the insignificant clothes supported the testimony

He said you're doing fine you know
You've got an okay mind you know
And I would hate to see you throw it away
You'd better hold on!
Hold on!
Hold on!

I was telling him I was a bit fatigued about my life both present and past
and when I recalled my thoughts of ending it all with an overdose of gas
He said you're doing fine you know
You've got an okay mind you know
And I would hate to see you throw it away
You'd better hold on!
Hold on!
Hold on!

Hold on!
Hold on!
Hold on!
