but at Max's Kansas City we won we all shot the shit at the bar with
Johnny O'Toole and his scar and then old Clive Davis said he's surely gonna
make us a star I'm gonna make you a star just the way you are but with
all his style I could see in his eyes that we is goin' on trial and it
was no surprize the boys kept kickin' ass as usual time will tell but
some bitch in the choir threw waters on the fires of hell she loved to show
and tell lord she loved to tell but with all our style you could see
in our eyes that we is still on trial baby it's no surprize, no surprize,
no surprize, no surprize midnight lady situation fetal vaccinate your
ass with your phonograph needle I say lookie here friend of
mine scratch like you need calomine flamingo boots soles
a-creakin' still in love and Puerto Rican too ridin' on the wheels of
hell smokin' up our axle grease oh the backstage is rockin' and we're
coppin' from the local police that's right the local police or the
justice of peace
