1. X.OFFENDER

I saw you standing on the corner, you looked so big and fine.
I really wanted to go out with you, so when you smiled,
I laid my heart on the line
You read me my rights and then you said "Let's go" and nothing more
I thought of my nights, and how they were
They were filled with.

I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my heart burst then you'd step in
I had to know so I asked
You just had to laugh.

We sat in the night with my hands cuffed at my side
I look at your life and your style
I wanted nothing more
I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my heart burst then you'd step in
I had to know so I asked
You just had to laugh.

Walking the line, you were a marksman
Told me that law, like wine, is ageless
Public defender.
You had to admit
You wanted the love of a sex offender.

I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my heart burst then you'd step in
I had to know so I asked
You just had to laugh.

My vision in blue, I call you from inside my cell
And in the trial, you were there
With your badge and rubber boots.

I think all the time how I'm going to perpetrate love with you
And when I get out, there's no doubt I'll be sex offensive To you.


2. DETROIT 442

You know he can't be tested, he can't be read or found
Urban grey takes breath away, he wants to push his pedal to the groundTesti Canzoni
And the night's what's right, puts him at the wheel
Well, I eat danger, any stranger is all right
Feel hot to go like Jimmy O, dodging flying objects at the show
And the lights make me fight
In Detroit 442, maybe, baby, I could ride with you.

This town's a concrete factory and Dad and Mum look just like me
I'm on the plant assembly line. Too late now. Too far behind
You said you wanna hang around, no-one really cares where you go
Take your time. Things never change.

In Detroit 442, maybe, baby, I could ride with you
In Detroit 442, maybe, baby, I could ride with you
In Detroit 442, maybe, baby, I could ride with you
In Detroit 442, maybe, baby, I could ride with you.

One more to market, one more piggie, and they all, they all Look just like me, yeah.


3. A JARK IN JET'S CLOTHING

I always had my eyes on you but you came from across the Line
I had to make good time to see you but you had to pay the Fine
All the boys on my side knew that you were the shark
If you were found on the borderline you'd be shot in the Dark
Don't wear those clothes again, they don't make it in this Crowd
Don't go out D.T.K., you'll wear your best suit in the Ground
We're meeting in a neutral zone: the last car on the train
The love you brought shaking up my bones and crawling Through our veins
We always met at the edge of a blade and we left at the end Of the fight
Of all the girls you've played and you laid why did this oOne have to be white?
They're gonna get ya at 12 o'clock high, got their sights Set low on you
You better believe me, I wouldn't lie. We better quit Before you're through.

They're gonna get ya at 12 o'clock high, got their sights Set low on you
You better believe me, I wouldn't lie. We better quit Before you're through.


4. IN THE SUN

Surf's up
In the sun, I'm waiting for the day
Having fun, in warm far away
Moonlight nights, water seems so clear
Ooh city lights while I'm still waiting here.

In the sun, it's for everyone
In the sun, were gonna have some fun
In the sun, were gonna shoot the tube
I'll do it for you, my paka lola luau love.

New York isle is covered by grey
Concrete piles, blues play my way
Tropic haze, pineapple sky
Perfect wave, hurricane eye.

In the sun, it's for everyone
In the sun, were gonna have some fun
In the sun, were gonna shoot the tube
I'll do it for you, my paka lola luau love.

In the sun, it's for everyone
In the sun, were gonna have some fun
In the sun, were gonna shoot the tube
I'll do it for you, my paka lola luau love.

Where is my wave?
Where is my wave?.


5. YOUR PRESENCE

Was it destiny
I don't know yet
Was it just by chance? Could this be Kismet?
Something in my consciousness told me you'd appear
Now I'm always touched by your presence dear
When we play at cards you use an extra sense (it's really not cheating).

You can read my hand, I've got no defence
When you sent your messages whispered loud and clear
I am always touched by your presence dear
Floating past the evidence of possibilities
We could navigate together, psychic frequencies
Coming into contact with outer entities
We could entertain each one with our theosophies.

Stay awake at night and count your R.E.M.'s when you're talking with your super friends
Levitating lovers in the secret stratosphere
I am still in touch with your presence dear
I am still in touch with your presence dear
I am still in touch with your presence dear, dear, dear, Dear, dear.


6. DENIS

Oh Denis doo-be-do
I'm in love with you, Denis doo-be-do

Oh when we walk it always feels so nice
And when we talk it seems like paradise
Denis Denis I'm so in love with you.

You're my king and I'm in heaven every time I look at you

And I'm so lucky 'cause I found a boy like you.

Denis Denis, oh won't you hold me tight?
Denis Denis, please can we kiss all night?
Denis Denis, I'm so in love with you.

Denis Denis, avec tes yeux si bleux

Denis Denis, un grand baiser d'eternite.

Oh Denis doo-be-do
I'm in love with you, Denis doo-be-do
I'm in love with you, Denis doo-be-do

7. FAN MAIL

I set my hand to writing you
It drifted off the page
I sold my one vision for a piece of the cake
I haven't ate in days
For unspoken value, aesthetic and charm
I'd smile at you sideways
But the lighting is wrong, I'm taking a picture and counting the cost
While the bells in my ears keep ringing.

I set my hand to writing you
It drifted of the page
I nearly fell, I feel like a lowlife in hell
And I haven't slept in days and days, days and days.

Beat on my Fender through my Gemini 2
Play to the posters on the wall of my room
Thought I was crazy when I'd think about you
And the bells in my ears keep ringing
And the bells in my ears keep ringing
In my ear bells are ringing.


8. LOOK GOOD IN BLUE

You look good in blue
It matches your skin, your eyes dripping with pain
Someone like you
Getting off on the lies 'cause it dulls your surprise again
If it's alright with you
I could give you some head and shoulders to lie on
You look good in blue
I know what you mean when you say you've seen the end
Someone like you
Been at it again, you knew what was up in the end
If it's alright with you
I could give you some head and shoulders to lie on.

Throw your weight on me baby
Don't complain on me baby
Escape in me, next to me
I'm tired, always tired and I got not place to sleep
Don't mind dividing down the line
Can't say that I'm complaining 'cause I got no place to Play, yeah
Don't mind dividing down the line.

You look good in blue
It matches your skin, your eyes dripping with pain
If it's alright with you
I could give you some head and shoulders to lie on
Yes, I could give you some head and shoulders to lie on.


9. MAN OVERBOARD

Man overboard, sinking in a sea of love
Man overboard, he jumped, didn't need a shove
Oh, I've been sailing the sea of love, experiencing romance
With what I know (with what I know) he never stood a chance
He gave it all for love
He gave it all for love.

Said, lower the boats, he's sinking in a sea of love
Lower the boats, he's sinking in a sea of love
Yeah, I've been sailing the sea of love, experiencing Romance
With what I know (with what I know) he never stood a chance.

No! Man overboard
Man overboard
Man overboard
Man overboard
Throw him a line
Man overboard.

He gave it all for love
He gave it all for love
He gave it, he gave it all for love
Man overboard
(He gave it).


10. IN THE FLESH

Darlin' darlin' darlin'
I can't wait to see you
Your picture ain't enough
I can't wait to touch you in the flesh
Darlin' darlin' darlin'
I can't wait to hear you
Remembering your love
Is nothing without you in the flesh.

Went walking one day on the lower East side
Met you with a girlfriend, you were so divine
She said, "Hands off this one sweetie, this boy is mine."
I couldn't resist you - I'm not deaf, dumb, and blind.

Darlin' darlin' darlin'
Now you're out of town
Those girls that you run with
They bring my head down
Ooh Darlin' darlin'
Watch out if I see you
'Cause if you say hello
It'll mean you wanna see me in the flesh.

Ooh warm and soft, in the flesh
Ooh close and hot, in the flesh
Ooh.


11. I'M ONE E

I'm on E. I'm on E. I'm on E. Got nothin' to say. I used to Have a car of my own
I'm on E. I'm on E. I'm on E for England. Laid out for aybe a week
I've walked my feet to the bone
I'd give my life for a car of my own
I'm on E. I'm on E. Two weeks ago Saturday I was on TV. I'd like a show of my own
But you see I'm still on E even though everything is happening to me
So when you're drivin' on home
Don't regret your loan.

I'm on E. I'm on E. I gave my car to a guy named Vinnie. I feel like gassin' my feet
They've totalled me and skipped a beat. I used to have a Car of my own.

28 or 58. Walking to refrigerator
To the pump, do the bump
Still on E, I'll think of something
I'm on E and I'm on E
I'll never have to stop my feet
28 or 58
Walking to refrigerator
To the pump, do the bump
Still on E, I'll think of something
I'm on E and I'm on E
I'll never have to fill my feet up.


12. KIDNAPPER

Hey, you've got an unnerving face
And twitching eyes like Norman Bates
You got a cigarette, eye on a mirror
Farm boy brown gas station sweeper
You took that girl, you put the saddle on her
Just thirteen, she's her daddy's apple
And she don't know you're the kidnapper, uh-huh
Hey, your Daddy's Whiskey Sam
He's got bloodshot eyes like Ray Milland
Playing solitaire, your Mother fidgets
You wanna be rich but you won't dig ditches

People breaking their necks and she thinks it's funny
Where's your old man now? Nobody's home, uh-huh.

Kidnapper

Hey, they call you Skinny Jim
And nobody knows the boat you're in
They dipped your tail when you were back in school
Well, you're a real strange cake but your nobody's fool
So you took that girl and you put the saddle on her
Just thirteen, she's fresh out of diapers
And she don't know you're the kidnapper, uh-huh
She don't know you're the kidnapper, uh-huh
I said "She don't know you're the kidnapper," uh-huh.


13. RIP HER TO SHREDS

(Hey! pssst, pssst! Here she comes now.)
Oh, you know her, would you look at that hair
Yeah, you know her, check out those shoes
She looks like she stepped out of the middle of somebody's Blues.

She looks like the Sunday comics
She thinks she's Brenda Starr
Her nose job is real atomic
All she needs is an old knife scar.

Yeah, she's so dull, come on rip her to shreds
She's so dull, come on rip her to shreds.

Oh, you know her, "Miss Groupie Supreme"
Yeah, you know her, "Vera Vogue" on parade
Red eye shadow! Green mascara!

A case of partial extreme
Dressed in a Robert Hall sweater
Acting like a soap opera queen.

Yeah, she's so dull, come on rip her to shreds
She's so dull, come on rip her to shreds.

She got the nerve to tell me she's not on it
But her expression is too serene
Yeah, she looks like she washes with Comet
Always looking to create a scene.

She's so dull, come on rip her to shreds
She's so dull. Rip her to shreds.

She making out with King Kong
She take her boat to Hong Kong
Well, bye bye sugar
And not a minute too soon.


14. YOUTH NABBED AS SNIPER

Don't look in here, yeah
Sundown finds him out of town on the overpass
His inner self glued to his point twenty-two
Dirty metal in the speed of night, lights and broken glass
My heart can destroy all I see
Moving streets all make me lonely
Come to me and be mine only
I can hide us far from sight, but you must wait and I must Fight this nothingness
Walls, I see my little room
I hear my parent's friends
I hope that my actions make amends
I would like to kill for love but I don't know how
Here I lie so high above the crowd
Busy streets all make me lonely
Come to me and be mine only.

I can move us through the night, but you must wait and I Must fight this emptiness
Black top burns with silent screams
Others stop my dreams
Lightning Crash! Crash! Crash!
Fear causes some to live, others die real cool
I died in the evening after school
Be mine only
Be my own
Be mine only
Be my own.
