************************

I Wanna Live
I've been thinking it over
And I know just what to do
I've been thinking it over
And I know I just can't trust myself

I'm a Gypsy prince
Covered with diamonds and jewels
But then my lover exposes me
I know I'm just a damn fool

CHORUS
I give what I've got to give
I give what I need to live
I give what I've got to give
It's important if I wanna live
I wanna live
I want to live my life
I wanna live
I want to live my life

As I load my pistol
Of fine German steel
I never thought I'd be so down and out
Having my last meal
But I know I can do it
It just took a few years
As I execute my killer
The morning is near

CHORUS

Bop 'til You Drop
Bop 'til you drop
Bop 'til you drop
No matter what you just can't stop
Bop 'til you drop

Stick 'em up
Give me your money
You act like a big shot
But you're really a dummy
They want your blood they want every drop
Bop 'til you drop

You tried and tried
But you're a flop
You're thirty five
Still pushing a mop
No time to cop do the cretin hop bop
Bop 'til you drop

Garden Of Serenity
Come on take my hand come on little stranger
The spirits are angry stay away from danger
This is insanity this could be the en
This is insanity farewell my friend
In the garden of serenity
In the garden of serenity
In the garden of serenity
In the garden of serenity

Meet me in the graveyard we'll walk among the dead
On a midnight odyssey riding in my head
I'm not your enemy girl, I am your friend
Come with me on a journey on a journey to the end
In the garden of serenity...

Weasel Face
Twenty four hours ago
No one could help me
I'm alone in life
No where to go
So I picked up the phone
Called out for help
Some one please help me
I'm afraid and alone

Weasel face
Weasel...

It's way past midnight
TV set is on
It's my only friend
One crisis after another
Ain't no loser or quitter
It's all or nothin' baby
'cause we fought so hard
For our piece of this world

Weasel face
Weasel...

Go Lil' Camaro Go
Uumamamau-papaumamau
Uumamamau-papaumamau
Go lil' Camaro go, oohh-uuhh
Go lil' Camaro go, oohh-uuhh

Come on baby shake,
come on baby move
Come on baby let's shake,
come on baby move

Go lil' Camaro...

Girls cars sun fun
Girls cars sun fun
Girls cars sun fun
Good times for everyone

Go lil' Camaro...

I Know Better Now
Nobody can tell me
I know I know better now

You're a kid you're a brat
Clean up your room throw out the trash
When I was your age I heard it all
Like livin' under your marshall law
I would think it was for my own good
I would think it was true

Nobody can...

Gotta be in early gotta go to school
They don't like my friends
I don't like those rules
I'm not a criminal I'm not on drugs
Don't wait up for me I'm out havin' fun

I would think...
Nobody can...

Death of Me
We've got to stop this crazy carrying on
It's gonna be the death of you
Stop this crazy carrying on
It's gonna be the death of me
It's gonna be the end you see
It's gonna be the death of we

If we don't stop this crazy carrying on
It's gonna be the death of you

Stop this crazy carrying on
It's gonna be the death of me
It's gonna be the end you see
It's gonna be the death of me

And I feel like I'm gonna die
I don't feel so good inside
Why baby-why, why, why?
But I had a good time
You know I had a good night

We got to stop this crazy carrying on
It's gonna be the death of you

Stop this crazy carrying on
It's gonna be the death of me
It's gonna be the end you see
It's gonna be the death of me

I Lost My Mind
I lost my mind
I lost my mind
I lost my mind
I lost my mind

Give me some skin
Give me some gin
Give me some wine
I lost my mind
I lost my mind
I lost my mind
Give me some skin
Give me some gin
I want some wine
I lost my mind
I lost my mind
I lost my mind...

A Real Cool Time
When I saw you at the Cat Club
You looked really kind of cool
Well come along with me 'cause
We got a lot of things to do now

You don't ever have to be lonely
ust as long as you're here by my side
You don't ever have to be lonely
Just as long as you've nothing to hide

CHORUS
Oohh...oohh...
Come along with me 'cause
We're gonna have a real cool time

Girl you're
Girl you know you're always on my mind
You know
Girl you know I want you all the time
Girl
Girl you know I want you all the time

When I saw you at the Cat Club
You looked really kind of cool now
Well come along with me 'cause
We got a lot of things to do now

You don't ever have to be lonely
Just as long as you're hear by my side
You don't ever have to be lonely
Just as long as you've got nothing to hide

CHORUS

I'm Not Jesus
Don't wear a crown of thorns
Got no holes in my head
Don't accuse me of that crime
Don't hang me up to dry

It's not me
It's not me
It's not me

Don't wanna die for your sins
Got no special powers3

Sacrifice and sacrilege
Hey man, I wanna live

CHORUS
I'm not Jesus
I can't heal you

Taste my blood
It doesn't taste like wine
Can't you see
This cross isn't mine
Judas must die
For what he has done
Satan's watching
With his gun

It's not me
It's not me
It's not me

Father, Son and Holy Ghost
Say your prayers-it's your only hope
Twelve apostles can't help you now
I'll be back to stake my ground

CHORUS

Don't wear a crown of thorns
Got no holes in my head
Don't accuse me of that crime
Don't hang me up to dry

CHORUS

Bye Bye Baby
Woke up thinking bout you today
Why does it have to be this way
We drove each other crazy
Bye bye babe
Bye bye baby
Well I guess it's over and it's done
We had some good tiimes and we had fun
We drove each other crazy
I'll always love you

CHORUS
Bye bye baby
Babe bye bye
Bye bye baby
Don't you cry
Bye bye baby
Babe bye bye
Bye bye baby
Don't you cry

Woke up thinking bout you today
Felt sad and lonely
We drove each other crazy
I'll always love you baby

Well I guess it's over and it's done
We had some good times-we had fun
We drove each other crazy
I'll always love you

CHORUS

Worm Man
I'm a worm man
I'm fed up
There's no hope
I wanna puke
I want some dirt

CHORUS
I'm a w-w-worm man

Gonna crawl in a hole
Nobody's my friend
I'm no good to anyone
I want some dirt

CHORUS

Well all right, well all right
Well all right, well all right
Well all right, well all right
Well all right...hey!

I'm no good to anyone
Nobody's my friend
I'll never be happy
I hate myself

I wish I was dead
I wish I was dead
I wish I was dead
