 White Wedding

Hey little sister, what have you done?
Hey little sister, who's the only one?
Hey little sister, who's your Superman?
Hey little sister, who's the one you want?
Hey little sister, shotgun it's a nice day to start again
It's a nice day for a white wedding it's a nice day to start again

Hey little sister, who is it you're with?
Hey little sister, what's your vice or wish?
Hey little sister, shotgun
Hey little sister, who's your Superman?
Hey little sister, shotgun it's a nice day to start again
It's a nice day for a white wedding it's a nice day to start again

Pick it up take me back home
Hey little sister, what have you done?
Hey little sister, who's the only one?
I've been away for so long I've been away for so long
I let you go for so long it's a nice day to start again
It's a nice day for a white wedding it's a nice day to start again

There is nothing fair in this world
There is nothing safe in this world
And there's nothing sure in this world
And there's nothing pure in this world
Look for something left in this world
Start again it's a nice day to start again
It's a nice day for a white wedding it's a nice day to start again

Hot In The City

Stranger, stranger
It's hot here at night, lonely, black and quiet on a hot summer night
Don't be afraid of the world we made on a hot summer night
Because when a long-legged lovely walks by you can see the look in her eye
Then you know that it's hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, tonight
Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, tonight

Stranger, stranger
For all the dreams and schemes people are as they seem on a hot summer night
Don't be no fun, don't forget you're young on a hot summer night
A sometime someone you're not don't wait to see what you've got
Because you know that you're hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, tonight
Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, tonight

We'll walk until my feet drop I'm a train when I'm hateful
Lay right down now and ride until your head breaks
I'm walking  until my brain pops I will move with the beat now
I'm a chain around an A-bomb I'm a ribbon in the heat now
New York!
Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, tonight
Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, tonight
Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, tonight
Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, tonight

Rebel Yell

Last night, a little dancer came dancing to my door
Last night, a little angel came pumping on my floor
She said come, you got a license for love and if it expires, pray help from above
Because in the midnight hour, she cried more, more, more
With a rebel yell, she cried more, more, more, wow
In the midnight hour more, more, more
With a rebel yell, more, more, more

She don't like slavery, she won't sit and beg
But when I'm tired and lonely, she sees me to bed
What set you free and brought you to me
What set you free? I need you here by me
Because in the midnight hour, she cried more, more, more
With a rebel yell, she cried more, more, more
In the midnight hour, babe, more, more, more
With a rebel yell, more, more, more

He lives in his own heaven collects it to go from the 7-Eleven
Well, he's out all night to collect a fare just so long, just so long it don't mess up his hair
I walked the world for you a thousand miles with you
I dried your tears of pain a million times for you
I'd sell my soul for you, for money to burn for you
I'd give you all and have none just to, to have you here by me
Because in the midnight hour, she cried more, more, more
With a rebel yell, she cried more, more, more, wow
In the midnight hour, babe, more, more, more
With a rebel yell, she cried more, more, more

Kings & Queens Of The Underground"

Born in a time that wasn't made to last
In 1977, what it went fast
Johnny told us to rise, not to give a shit
And then "Kiss Me Deadly," and we had a hit
Last night in the Roxy we made love on the floor
We shot up in the bathroom and said we were bored

If you are here tonight, and you hear these sounds
We are still kings and queens of the underground
I don't mean to be profound, but if I'm still around
We are still kings and queens of the underground

1984, and "Rebel Yell" had the floor
All we said was, "more more more"
Well I touched you with my "Eyes Without A Face""
I was "Hot in the City." I thought I was ace
I didn't know then when I was in your front room
On MTV I was high as the moon

Golden years  golden years
Sold all my vinyl, it went up my arm
And I thought rock n roll couldn't do me no harm
Now I'm rolling a joint, and I'm dressed in black
If we lose the music we can never go back

But if you are here tonight, and you hear these sounds
We are still kings and queens of the underground
I don't mean to be profound, but if I'm still around
We are still kings and queens of the underground
Jonesy said, Bill, don't be profound if you are still a king of the underground
If you hear my voice, and you dig these rebel sounds still kings and queens of the underground
Here tonight, I wanna dig these sounds I'm still a king of the underground
If you hear my voice, dig these rebel sounds still kings and queens of the underground

Buried Alive

It's the season of the dark horse the ocean of night 
It's the angel of mercy leaving you behind 
In this moment you ache for the cure 
You're pleading save me give me some more

There's no shelter tonight escape from the pain
There is nothing no end to this game
You're so wicked evil and cruel
It won't save you save me from what I'm gonna do
You're just a number you're just a victim
A dead man walking buried alive

Hold out for a better hand wait for better days
You can feel it coming the fury of my rage
My vengeance will rain down on you
There's no mercy have mercy in what I'm gonna do

It's the season of the dark horse the ocean of night 
It's the angel of mercy leaving you behind 
In this moment you ache for the cure 
You're pleading save me give me some more

Into The Night

And you say you wanna live forever and you've got all the time to kill
And you're living in the dark forever in your own little private hell
I wanna rule this world I wanna walk the night
I wanna bleed this girl wanna shake it all night until the morning light
I wanna lead this world I wanna wake the dead and all the undead souls who walk the night

Are you sure you're so clean and pure as you lie here in front of me now
And you're tempting the lord of darkness as you see what's forbidden to see
I wanna rule this world I wanna walk the night
I wanna bleed this girl wanna shake it all night until the morning light
I wanna lead this world I wanna wake the dead and all the undead souls who walk the night

You know it's true
When people say I'm from the underworld every kind of sin you best believe it
You come on over here from the other side come back to hell it's warm inside
I sleep through the day because I'm into the night
I wanna through the day because I live through the night
I sleep through the day because I'm into the night
I wanna through the day because I live through the night
I wanna rule this world I wanna walk the night
I wanna bleed this girl wanna shake it all night until the morning light
I wanna lead this world I wanna wake the dead and all the undead souls who walk the night
I wanna get you I'm gonna rule this world it's gonna be alright
