Альбом Slash's Snakepit

Have seen them raise an eye, I'm comin' home
Seedy and crawlin', seven years or more
Now you know where I'm goin'

A beautiful shade of blue and pale
A colour you bought at a junkie's yard sale
Stop your cryin', stop your cryin'

Well I'm lazy now-the summer crazy farm is all I own with...

My motor, my thrills, I needed my space
My prison, my drugs, let's go to my place
Ain't been there lately
Ain't been there lately
Ain't been there lately-there's no room

Well I sacrificed the all the people
That were killin' me and since gone away
Three of them murdered, two livin'
Now even God's gone, not much left to say

If there's a day you wanna come by
Everybody knows I'll just be sittin' here
Drop on by now, let's get high now

The reverend reminded me your redemption can be paid with...

My motor, my thrills, I needed my space
My prison, my drugs, let's go to my place
Ain't been there lately
Ain't been there lately
Ain't been there lately-there's no room

Ain't been there lately
Ain't been there lately
Ain't been there lately
Ain't been there lately, lately

Captain Jack was a suicide pimp with a nonstop nosebleed
Fell in love with a church choir tramp
Found out she was a drag queen

Crown him the Hollywood kid
Spent his time in another man's bed
Does anybody care
He said-he said

Jimmy Jaw took a ten story dive, about sixteen thousand feet
I watched the body go splat and they scraped him off the street

Now he's a Hollywood kid tryin' to fly
They found him dead
Was anybody there
He said-he said

Stars laid out on the Hollywood Squares
Going 'round and 'round like musical chairs
But be ready to rumble
Be ready to fight, if you wanna live through the boulevard night
Get ready for problems, get ready for pain
If you wanna play the L.A. game
Where you got to hustle and nothing is fair
Be a chalk outline on a Hollywood Square

Lady Faye back in '52 was a fiend for fame
Not a lick of talent, paid dues, got fucked by John Wayne

Crown her the Hollywood queen, she gives head in every scene
Did anybody stare
She said-she said

Stars laid out on the Hollywood Squares
Going 'round and 'round like musical chairs
But be ready to rumble
Be ready to fight, if you wanna live through the boulevard night
Get ready for problems, get ready for pain
If you wanna play the L.A. game
Where you got to hustle and nothing is fair
Be a chalk outline on a Hollywood Square

You turn me on like some midnight show, I'm so damn strung
You burn me out, red line overload, then watch me blow

Well I've been waiting hypnotized, down on your floor
You can't save me
You don't have Adam and Eve to kick around anymore
They really do write the song
They want everybody to...

Shine, they want you to shine
Stand beneath the sun, and you too can shine

I shed my skin, you peel it back, unoriginal sin

Well I've been wasting hypnotized, down on your floor
You can't save me
You don't have Adam and Eve to kick around anymore
You really do rock the show, they want everybody to

Shine
They want you to shine
Everybody
Shine if you're loaded baby
Shine any place that you're gonna be
Shine
Stand beneath the sun, and you too can shine

So violated, the way we burned out from its fire
So violated, the way we killed the sun
So violated, the way we burned out from its fire
So violated, the way we killed the sun

Shine
They want you to shine
Everybody
Shine if you're loaded baby
Shine any place that you're gonna be
Shine
Stand beneath the sun, and you too can shine

You're dissin' me, I never show it
But you're always getting into my head, dismissin' me
I let you do it but you're doin' it
In front of your friends

I'm not your doormat, I'm not the leader of a kick-you
When you're down on crusade, I want no part of that
I hear the rumors, goin' round that I'm not that man

I'm tired of playin' dumb
I'm tired of being pushed around
And if you think that I'm goin' soft
Here come some hard times

I got one mean bone in my body
I got one mean bone in my hand

You are a parasite, you latched on
And now I'm up to my neck in pain
All we do is fight, you bitch and moan so much
I think I need a hearing aid

My love won't overcome
The way you put me down
And if you think that I'm goin' soft
Here come some hard times

I got one mean bone in my body
I got one mean bone in my hand

You say you don't wanna go but you've got to understand
That you're so far away from me and I'm all alone
Even when you're standing next to me
Deep inside, I feel you want to go free

I wanted you eternally
I see the truth, now that you've lied to me

Can't you see that the pain breaks me in two
It takes me from you
I feel it stop my beating heart, with every little thing you do
It tears me apart, please make it stop and be mine again
So we can take it right back to the moment
Where we start again

And baby, you say you already know
But you won't ever understand
What it's like to feel you slippin' away from me
I'm down on my knees
Even though I tried to carry on
Deep inside, I feel like I'm the only one

I wanted you eternally, but I see the truth
Now that you've lied to me
Oh and you lie to me

Can't you see that the pain breaks me in two
It takes me from you
I feel it stop my beating heart, with every little thing you do
It tears me apart, please make it stop and be mine again
So we can take it right back to the moment
Where we start again

I feel like you're taking away
My everything, my everything
'Cause everything you say and do
It's like your playing a part
When the curtain finally closes
I wonder if you're going to take a bow
Before you break my heart, before you break my heart

Now listen to me
Can't you see that the pain breaks me in two
It takes me from you
I feel it stop my beating heart, with every little thing you do
It tears me apart, please make it stop and be mine again
So we can take it right back to the moment

Hey, what you doin' out there
Did you tumble down and burn out in the fire
You ain't going nowhere
Stay with me now, let's get higher and higher

I, dead broke and blue take a look
No I ain't no rose
We, just you and me
Got a little tied up and now I'm indisposed

Keep it going, once it's started
Share a ride with everybody

Life
Such a sweet, sweet drug
Complete my world
Come and make me numb

He had a seven year itch
Losin' and scratchin' himself
She was a complicated bitch
Fuck with your mind
Put your balls on a shelf

Keep it going, once it's started
Share a ride with everybody

Life
Such a sweet, sweet drug
Complete my world
Come and make me numb

Now at this moment
I can feel the ecstasy
Live the life you're given
Leave the bag with me, please

Life
Such a sweet, sweet drug
Complete my world
Come and make me numb

Here we are alone now, just you and me
Down the halls we waltz, your end is in my dreams

I wanna be like him, he had a dreadful life
I wanna learn to shoot, I want to use a knife
I like the smell of fear that makes you paralyzed
I am the boy next door who put that fear in your eyes

I hope you can leave all this for yourself
I'll be your slave and then dig your grave
While we're makin' love, I dream revolver

They say I'm crazy, falling apart
Do you like the way I murdered your heart
I'm smart and cagey, I come in the night
If you let me in, you'll give up your life

He like to roll in the mud, up to his chin
Now I open my head and let his voodoo in
I rode those sissy bars all the way to hell
Sweet mother justice, We've heard it all
There's nothing left to tell

I hope you didn't need all this for yourself
And the man with the star says he knows you are
But I just keep singin' la dee dee dah

They say I'm crazy, falling apart
Do you like the way I murdered your heart
I'm smart and cagey, I come in the night
If you let me in, you'll give up your life

Boom, boom, bang, bang screams in the dark
If you let him in, he'll murder your heart
Boom, boom, bang, bang screams in the dark
If you let him in, he'll murder your heart

He's not the man you see at home
He's someone else inside
His life's no longer his own
He's someone else inside
Creepin' up when you're alone
And now he stands inside
He wants to take you to hell
But for him it's heaven

Sorry to say but you're not the only one
You're not the lonely one that turned my light on
While I turned yours off, off, off...

She gets up with her head swung down low down
Steps into the room
Please listen while I sing my song to you
"Cuz it all slips away, it ends too soon

How in the hell did I get here
Let me tell you all why I sing the blues
Been in a daze for ten years
But I still can sing the truth

Heaven knows where we all go
All we have is what we get
When it's gone, when will I know
Because I haven't got it yet

She's swayin' to the swing of the music
Her arms wave in the air
She turns her head, our eyes make contact
It lets me know

How in the hell did I get here
Let me tell you all why I sing the blues
Been in a daze for ten years
But I can still sing the truth

Heaven knows where we all go
All we have is what we get
When it's gone, when will I know
Because I haven't got it yet

Did you find that ride? Did you finally fly?
While I sit here, kickin' and bitchin'
Sayin' gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme what's mine

I thought I had it all, I wanted more
No need for you, I slammed the door
I cut you lose
What are the chances that I'd walk in here
And find the truth...

Been climbin' the walls for days
Baby I don't know why
Girl you got my head in a haze
I can't see the sky
You throw mud in my face, it's such a disgrace
Why you wanna shake my tree
I slip then I slide, you're laughing inside
I know who's going down, it's me

And when you walk away
I know you're always sayin' something
Is everything okay?
I see it in your eyes

It's just a landslide, that feeds my head, that makes it roll
It's just a landslide, keep it in mind, takes me out of control
It's like a landmine, steppin' out of time, ready to explode
I feel the landslide on me down in this hole

Now it just takes a look, did you read the whole book
Did you study it between the lines
I don't need to explain, there's no pleasure no pain
It just comes with the prize

And when you walk away
I know you're always sayin' something
Is everything okay?
I see it in your eyes

It's just a landslide, that feeds my head, that makes it roll
It's just a landslide, keep it in mind, takes me out of control
It's like a landmine, steppin' out of time, ready to explode
I feel the landslide on me down in this hole

I feel your earth shake
I feel your body quake, forever, forever
Oh, I see the walls break
I feel your heartache, whenever
Do you know how I feel inside
I feel like I'm caught in the tide
I'm caught in the landslide

And when you walk away
I know you're always sayin' something
Is everything okay?
I see it in your eyes

It's just a landslide, that feeds my head, that makes it roll
It's just a landslide, keep it in mind, takes me out of control
It's like a landmine, steppin' out of time, ready to explode
I feel the landslide on me down in this hole

The end of the summer, down in New Orleans
Should've called, got caught up in the scene
Ain't nothin' wrong, ain't a damn thing right
Gonna be comin' home but baby, not tonight
The reason I'm stayin' is everything's swayin'
It feels too good to leave
Pay all the bullshit, send me the receipts
I don't know where I'll be

The bayou's callin', the gypsy's out tonight
French Quarter lamps are burnin'
Lamps are burning bright
Now I'm the kind of man
That will throw caution to the wind, all night long
I'll be here 'til the end
The caravan awaits me in a place within my mind
Wish you could be here, i guess another time ,oh another time

Whoo, hoo, yeah, yeah, ain't life grand
All the pushin', and huggin', and pushin', and tuggin'
And whoo, hoo, yeah, yeah, ain't life grand
All the pissin' and moanin', and jerkin' me off
I said whoo, hoo, yeah, yeah, ain't life grand
Oh, ain't life grand

Ohh whoo, hoo, yeah, yeah, ain't life grand
All the drinkin', and takin', and fakin' it all
I said, whoo, hoo, yeah, yeah, ain't life grand
All the touchin', and feelin', and bumpin', and squealin'
Now whoo, hoo, oh yeah, ain't life grand
All the kickin', and screamin', all the lyin', and cheatin'
Now, whoo, hoo, yeah, yeah, ain't life grand
Ain't life grand, ain't life grand

Ain't it grand baby?
Ain't life grand baby
Ain't life grand mama
Sweet daddy grand
Mama grand, brother grand, woman grand
Papa grand, granny grand
Baby grand
Oh I need a damn gram

They come and they go when they want me
I sit and I wait my turn
I want to let go but I can't see
All I know is from what I've learned

Hitchhiker born to the side of the road
Got your thumb out, climb in
Shut your mouth, and do what you're told
This is where the ride begins

Heads up, the mountain's comin' down
Like a ball and chain
Stand up, the best is all around
The question is would you like to calm the insane

It goes on and on, just like a speed parade
It goes on and on, 'til the tail lights reached my head

Here lies a rude instigator or so he says
Is he movin', movin', movin', movin'
Or does he lie there and just play dead?

Heads up, the mountain's comin' down
Like a ball and chain
Stand up, the best is all around
The question is would you like to calm the insane

It goes on and on, just like a speed parade
It goes on and on, 'til the driver drops dead

Gotta get on the road or get on your knees
See the boy play, he plays for speed
Faster boy, put your foot on the floor
Salivating, he just wants more

Here come the calm with the bold insane
I can feel it like a ball and chain
When the question stands, does the shit remain?

It goes on and on, just like a speed parade
It goes on and on, 'til the tail lights reached my head

Just what the hell has happened here
Smelling smoke
Must be burning up the atmosphere
Am I lost, have I found the right place to be
Better run, better clear, better be outta my way
I'm comin' down and I'm hot
Yeah I'm hot like the sun, man I'm not of this earth
Yeah I'm somethin' to see

I slowly touch down on the planet
I'm the alien
Could be some trouble up ahead

Just got in today, landed in the USA
Hitched a ride on a rocket from the Milky Way

Just got in today, don't know if I want to stay
Think I'm gonna shoot back home
Like a cosmic ray, oh yeah, oh yeah
They'll never take me alive
They'll never take me alive

Now they're making me a cover boy
Standing in the aisles in the supermarket tabloids
Check it out, checking in
With inquiring minds need to know everything
Like how did I get here
Where will I go
Is he red, is he white or a six foot negro Afrodite

The CIA has got a file on everything I've done
Take me to my friends in Hanger 51

Just got in today, landed in the USA
Hitched a ride on a rocket from the Milky Way
Just got in to town, wanna take a look around
Just arrived but I don't think I want to stay, oh no, oh no

They'll never take me alive
They'll never take me alive

I don't have a phone card to call home

They want to take me as a specimen
Dry me out, ground me into vitamins
Oh my God, maybe I am the cure

My future here it doesn't look too bright to me
I know today I gotta leave and be free, be free

Just got in today, landed in the USA
Hitched a ride on a rocket from the Milky Way
Just got into town, wanna take a look around
I just arrived but don't think I want to stay
Just got in today (just got in today)
Welcome to the USA (welcome to the USA)
Think I'm gonna shoot back home, like a cosmic ray
They'll never take me alive, they'll never take me alive
