Watch that Man
Shakey threw a party that lasted all night
Everybody drank a lot of something nice
There was an old-fashioned band of married men
Looking up to me for encouragement - it was so so
The ladies looked bad, but the music was sad
No one took ther eyes of Lorraine
She shimmied and she strolled like a Chicago moll
Her feathers looked btter and better - it was so so
Yeah! It was time to unfreeze
When the Reverend Alabaster danced on his knees
Slam! So it wasn't a game
Crack all the mirrors in shame
Watch that man! Oh honey, watch that man
Well he talks like a jerk
But he could eat you with a fork and spoon
Watch that man! Oh honey, watch that man
He walks like a jerk
But he's only taking care of the room
Must be in tune
A Benny Goodman fan painted holes in his hands
So Shakey hung him up to dry
The pundits were joking the manholes were smoking
And every bottled battled with the reason why
The girl on the phone won't leave me alone
A throw back from someone's L.P.
A lemon in a bag played the Tiger Rag
And the bodies on the screen stopped bleeding
Yeah! I was shaking like a leaf
For I couldn't understand the conversation
Yeah! I ran to the street looking for some information
Watch that man! Oh honey, watch that man
He talks like a jerk
But he could eat you with a fork and spoon
Watch that man! Oh honey, watch that man
He walks like a jerk
But he's only taking care of the room
Must be in tune
Watch that man!
Aladdin Sane
Watching him dash away
Swinging an old boquet of dead roses
Sake and strange divine
You'll make it
Passionate bright young things
Takes him away to war
Don't fake it
Saddening glissando strings
You'll make it
Who will love Aladdin Sane
Battle-cries and champagne
Just in time for sunrise
Who will love Aladdin Sane
Motor sensational
Paris or maybe hell
I'm waiting
Churches of sad remains
Waits for Aladdin Sane
You'll make it
Who will love Aladdin Sane
Millions weep a fountain
Just in case of sunrise
Who will love Aladdin Sane
Will love Aladdin Sane
Will love Aladdin Sane
Drive-In Saturday
Let me put my arms around your head
Gee it's hot, let's go to bed
Don't forget to turn on the light
Don't laugh babe, it'll be alright
Pour me out another phone
I'll ring and see if your friends are home
Perhpas the strange ones in the dome
Can lend us a book we can read up alone
And try to get it on like once before
When people stared in Jagger's eyes
And scored like the video films we saw
CHORUS:
His name was always Buddy
And he'd shrug and ask to stay
She'd sigh like twig the wonderkid
And turn her face away
She's uncertain if she likes him
But she knows she really loves him
It's a crash course for the ravers
It's a Drive-In Saturday
Jung the foreman, prayed at work
That neither hands nor limbs would burst
It's hard enough to keep formation
Amid this fall-out saturation
Cursing at the Astronette
That stands in still by his cabinet
He is crashing out with Sylvian
The Bureau Supply for ageing men
With snorting head he gazes to the shore
Where once had raged a sea that raged no more
Like the video films we saw
CHORUS
Panic in Detroit
He looked a lot like Che Guevara
Drove a diesel van
Kept his gun in quiet seclusion
Such a humble man
The only survivor of the National People's Gang
Panic in Detroit
I asked for an autograph
He wanted to stay home
I wish someone would phone
Panic in Detroit
He laughed at accidental sirens
That broke the evening gloom
The police had warned of repercussions
They followed none too soon
A trickle of strangers
Were all that were left alive
Panic in Detroit
I asked for an autograph
He wanted to stay home
I wish someone would phone
Panic in Detroit
Putting on some clothes
I made my way to school
And found my teacher
Crouching in his overalls
I screamed and ran
To smash my favorite slot machine
And jumped the silent cars
That slept at traffic lights
Having scored a trillion dollars
Made a run back home
Found him slumped across the table
A gun and me alone
I ran to the window
Looked for a plane or two
Panic in Detroit
He'd left me an autogaph
'Let me collect dust'
I wish someone would phone
Panic in Detroit
Cracked Actor
I've come on a few years
From my Hollywood highs
The best of the last
The cleanest star they ever had
I'm stiff on my legend
The films that I made
Forget that I'm fifty
'Cause you just got paid
CHORUS:
Crack baby, crack
Show me you're real
Smack baby, smack
Is all that you feel
Suck baby, suck
Give me your head
Before you start professing
That you're knocking me dead
You caught yourself a trick
Down on Sunset and Vine
But since he pinned you baby
You're a procupine
You sold me ilusions
For a sack full of checks
You've made a bad connection
'Cause I just want your sex
CHORUS
Time
Time - he's waiting in the wings
He speaks of senseless things
His script is you and me boy
Time - he flexes like a whore
Falls wanking to the floor
His trick is you and me boy
Time - in quaaludes and red wine
Demanding Billy Dolls
And other friends of mine
Take your time
The sniper in the brain
Regurgitating drain
Incestuous and vain
And many other last names
Oh well I look at my watch
It says 9:25 and I think
'Oh God, I'm still alive'
We should be on by now
We should be on by now
You - are not a victim
You - just scream with boredom
You - are not evicting time
Chimes - Goddamn you're looking old
You'll freeze and catch a cold
'Cause you've left your coat behind
Take your time
Breaking up is hard
But keeping dark is hateful
I had so many dreams
I had so many breakthroughs
But you my love were kind
But love has left you dreamless
The door to dreams was closed
Your park was real greenless
Perhaps you're smiling now
Smiling through the darkenss
But all I have to give
Is guilt for dreaming
We should be on by now
We should be on by now
The Prettiest Star
Cold fire
You've got everything but cold fire
You will be my rest and peace child
I moved up to take a place near you
So tired
It's the sky that makes you feel tried
It's a trick to make you see wide
It can all but break your heart in pieces
Staying back in your memory
Are the movies in the past
How you moved is all it takes
To sing a song of when I loved
The Prettiest Star
One day
Though it might as well be someday
You and I will rise up all the way
All because of what you are
The Prettiest Star
Staying back in your memory
Are the movies in the past
How you moved is all it takes
To sing a song of whne I loved
The Prettiest Star
One day
Though it might as well be someday
You and I will rise up all the way
All because of what you are
The Prettiest Star
Let's Spend the Night
Together
Well don't you worry
'Bout what's been on my mind
I'm in no hurry
I can take my time
I'm going red and my tongue's getting tired
I'm off my head and my mouth's getting dry
I'm high
Let's spend the night together
Now I need you more than ever
Let's spend the night together now
I feel so strong
That I can't disguise, oh my
But I just can't apologise, no
Don't hang me up an ddon't let me down
We could have fun just a-fooling around and around
Let's spend the night together
Now I need you more than ever
Let's spend the night together now
You know I'm smiling baby
You need some guiding baby
I'm just deciding baby
Let's spend the night together
Now I need you more than ever
Let's spend the night together now
This doesn't happen to me everyday
No excuses I've got anyway
I'll satisfy your every need
And now I know you'll satisfy me
Let's spend the night together
Now I need you more than ever
Let's spend the night together now
They said we were too young
Our kind of love was no fun
But our love comes from above
Do it, let's make love!
Let's spend the night together
Now I need you more than ever
Let's spend the night together now
The Jean Genie
A small Jean Genie snuck off to the city
Strung out on lasers and slack-back blazers
And ate all your razors while pulling the waiters
Talking 'bout Monroe and walking on Snow White
New York's a go-go and everything tastes nice
Poor little Greenie
CHORUS:
Jean Genie lives on his back
The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks
He's outrageous, he screams and he bawls
Jean Genie, let yourself go
Sits like a man but he smiles like a reptile
She loves him, she loves him
But just for a short while
She'll scratch in the sand
Won't let go of his hand
He says he's a beautician and sells you nutrition
And keeps all your dead hair for making up underwear
Poor little Greenie
CHORUS
He's so simple minded
He can't drive his module
He bites on the neon
And sleeps in a capsule
Loves to be loved
Loves to be loved
CHORUS
Lady Grinning Soul
She'll come, she'll go
She'll lay belief on you
Skin sweet with musky oil
The lady from another grinning soul
Cologne she'll wear
Silver and Americard
She'll drive a Beetle car
And beat you down at cool Canasta
And when the clothes are strewn
Don't be afraid of the room
Touch the fullness of her breast
Feel the love of her caress
She will be your living end
She'll come, she'll go
She'll lay belief on you
But she won't stake her life on you
How can life become her point of view?
And when the clothes are strewn
Don't be afraid of the room
Touch the fullness of her breast
Feel the love of her caress
She will be your living end
Aladdin Sane
