Where The Action Is Lyrics

Where The Action Is lyrics

Where streets start getting wild



 Well you're moving on down on the other side of the tracks



 Would you cross that line baby, there ain't no turning back



 Some raise and I don't ever wanna see that place



 That's where the action is 



 



 Listen, hear the stories hear the lies



 You hear the rooms they criticize



 They call you everything under the moon



 Then they try to buy you with diamonds and rings and rings 



 



 Move over baby gonna help you out of this mess



 By the look of your face well you been here before I guess



 You're hanging around, like some kinda parasite on past



 And I just wanna tell you to come on let's go



 And I know a place where never cold



 And I know a place where the thing is sin



 And I'm gonna tell you where the action is 



 



 Your momma's told you about whiskey and she's told you about beer



 ...drink and hear... nothing



 It turns you into a monster it turns your mind insane



 It does things to you where you will never come back again



 I don't care what your disposition is I don't care what's your name



 I'm gonna tell you where the action is 



 



 Look at you dressed in your debutante dress and your phoney eye-lashes



 Walking around like you just walked out of some fucking car crash



 You think that you're OK cause you're looking like you're gonna have a
smash



 with the action



 I don't care where you're going, I don't care what you say,



 What your religion is



 Baby, I just wanna tell you where the action is, hey, hey, hey, hey 



 



 Take off that wedding ring baby, you don't need it anymore



 Take off that dress girl and throw it out the door



 Take off those phoney make-up and those eye-lashes I saw



 Take off your shoes and your hat



 And throw the whole fucking lot right out the door



 Come over here and lend me your ear



 I'm gonna tell you where the action is 



 



 I don't care if you can read a book or if you can write



 I don't care how long your hair is or how bright



 I don't care about much to tell you the truth but that's allright



 I only care is if you come on like you think you're with the action



 I've got only one thing to say: come here darling, kiss me,



 I'm gonna show you where the action is 



 



 You spend a little dollar and you spend a little dime



 You get all funny and you laugh at your friends



 And you think you're having a good time



 You don't know nothing till you come around here and have some of mine



 Then you'll start to understand about the two sides of the line



 Come over here darling, lend me your ear, gonna educate you



 Gonna tell you where the action is
