She was a pink pussycat in a leather jacket
High healed shoes and velvet pants
The way she moved could make me cry
When she looked my way I thought I would die
She was mad, bad and dangerous to know
I better pack my bags and go
I better get back on that train
And go home
She had a way of walking down the street
Cruising slow while swinging her hips
She looked at me, and then she said
You better c’mon over and be my dog
Howling at the moon is my kind of song
Hey, hey, mama, I like your style
Won’t you let me stay for a little while
I like the way you rock ‘n roll
Lets slow it down for a little soul
I’m doing the same ol’ thing I see
I’m starting all over again
I never know what’s good for me
I better get back on that train
You’ve got those rocking shoes
You’ve got your red dress on
You’ve got the hippie shake
We’re gonna rock ‘till dawn

Death Can't Find Me
04:24

Devil came down
Devil came down
The devil came down to my home town
Hiding from the devil
And the old man death
I'm hiding from the devil and he can't find me
Gonna make my stand when I 'm feeling stronger
I've lost my health
I've lost my wealth
I've lost my health and I've lost my wealth, that death can't find me
Not behind that rock
I'm not behind that tree
I'm in that place where the devil can't find me
Up on the mountain
I'm down in the valley
I run like hell and death won't find me
Gonna make my stand when I feel stronger
Keep on running
Keep on running
Gotta keep on running and hiding from the devil
Death can't find me
ol' death can't find me

Once upon a time in the Namib
A bushman surfed the sand
His name was unpronouncable
He had a board made of leopard skin
Everywhere, it went with him
Then one day,
He had to go away
And westward he went to the sea
That’s where he met up with me, and said
Let’s rock
Let’s rock
Let’s surf, ooooh
C’mon let’s roll
Let’s find some girls and bring them right over
Let’s rock ‘n roll
Every time that we go crazy
Finding diamonds in the sand
We can move at the speed of light
Running from the police man
We’ll come back again
There’s nothing left to do
But surf the dunes besides the sea
While dancing to a rocking tune
Oooh
Hey, I said hey
Won’t you come out and play
We gonna have some fun tonight
Let’s rock…

Baby, baby, rock my soul
baby, baby, don't let go
Move your hands, move your feet
you better dance if you want to be hip
Dinosaur
This is the groove to make you move
This is gonna shake your eyeballs loose
Dinosaur
Uptown downtown
There's no time to fool around
Dinosaur
Make a happy sound they said
play the whole night long
Make a joyful noise they said
Sing us a pretty song
Dinosaur
But the joint is jumping can't you see
There's no place for harmony
Bang the drum to kingdom come
Give it away for free
Go !

I'm Shining My Shoes
04:03
|
|||
I'm out of my mind
I'm losing control
I'm in with a chance
I'm taking my time
I'm rolling the dice
I'm walking the walk
I'm doing some good
I'm spreading the news
I'm holding the line
I'm chasing a dream
I'm praying for rain
I'm coming for you
I hope that you're happy
I'm shining my shoes
I'm telling my story
I'm clutching at straws
I'm jumping at chances
I want to be yours
I want to be yours

A Gun to My Head
05:51
|

I was born with a gun to my head
Can you hear me cry?
Baby give me one more day
I’ll make it good
The way it should be
I left my home and went to work
In this foreign land (place I’m in)
To stay alive, I have to work three jobs
And I can’t vote
For that millionaire
There’s a long black train coming over the hill
It’s my time to die
Run away Peter, run away Paul
There’s no time for me to stop
And no room for me to fall
It’ll be fine, you’ll see
There’s a paycheck waiting for me (you can’t make a devil out of me)
If I’m quiet as a mouse
And I never leave the house
And they don’t hear a word out of me
