Autoamerican

Blondie Autoamerican Lyrics
1.Europe

Lyrics:Stein
Music:Stein

Based on the desire for total mobility
And the serious physical pursuit of religious freedom
The auto drove mankind further than the wheel
And in remote areas even today is forbidden as a device too
suspect for human conveyance
This articulate conception has only brought us all more of the
same
Thoughtlessly locked into phase two gridlock
keyed up on it's rims and abandoned on the expressway


2.Live It Up

Lyrics:Stein
Music:Stein

Your old lover's lying in the gutter
He used to be such an all night strutter
'Oh my heart' I heard him mutter
'Oh my dear it seems to flutter'
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
It's so hard to say no when the deck is stacked to only go slow
It's easy sweet to live it up
An easy street when you've had enough
Darkened night splashing light soft and white and so polite
Let him in beneath the rim beneath the skin your next of kin
Cleansing fire funeral pyre broken wire grown inside her
Secret hush swollen rush it's soft and plush
It's so lush
You know it's so passe to sleep without you every day
So easy to do your stuff so easy to live it up


3.Here's Looking At You

Lyrics:Harry/Stein
Music:Harry/Stein

As I sit staring into this liquid amber
Ripples move out to the edge of the glass
Is that really your reflection in there?
I just wanna jump into the warm depths
And be there with you one more time!
Oh alright
Hit it boys!
My initials sprayed across a pavement
Cut into your private winter room
Talk to me now
Step into my room we'll have a word or two
If I ever had a million dollars
If I didn't give it all to you
Would you lose interest?
Show me indifference?
Foot in another shoe?
Not very high heels
Not wearing sneakers too
A magazine ad a printed canvas
A basic mid shade blue suede shoe
Thought I'd like to have a little party
Thought I'd like to have a little do
Sure I stopped drinking
But for the moment honey here's looking at you!
I'll stop my drinking give you my promise true
Clean out the closet
Be existential and cast a vote for the president too
But for the action of the moment
Nothing does what it ought to do
Instant depression I learned my lesson
Nothing that I'd rather do
Come on over my place
Can't see him sideways
Honey here's looking at you


4.The Tide Is High

Lyrics:Reid/Holt
Music:Reid/Holt

The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
I'm not the kinda girl who gives up just like that oh no
It's not the things you do, that tease and hurt me bad
But it's the way you do the things, you do to me
I'm not the kinda girl who gives up just like that oh no
The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
Number one, number one
Every girl wants you to be her man
But I'll wait my dear 'till it's my turn
I'm not the kinda girl who gives up just like that oh no
The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
Number one, number one
Every girl wants you to be her man
But I'll wait my dear 'till it's my turn
I'm not the kinda girl who gives up just like that oh no
The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
I'm gonna be your number one, your, number one


5.Angels Of The Balcony

Lyrics:Devis/Destri
Music:Devis/Destri

Afterglow in a distant row
The door is open and the lights are cold
The children come in here and they dare the ghost
Like a fire burning in a stone
Silent light in the theater's sky
Phantom cigarette and a silent cry
The door swings open and it's cold outside
Run and hide run and hide
They can still see him singing on the corner
Singing songs that never fade away
Fade into the kids that come along
Memory in a silent seat
Melody on a long retreat
Like an angel on a balcony
Like an angel on a balcony


6.Go Through It

Lyrics:Harry/Stein
Music:Harry/Stein

She knew it about Route Three
Oh she blew it you know she coulda told me
He can't say no he can't ask why
Go through it highway bride
He delivers he's a roadsider
He gets no road from a back seat driver
Away we go yes or no?
I love you honey gimme a beer
But just like Jerry Lee she's tuning in on me
And I've got no defense but it makes no difference
'Cause just like Jerry Lee she's tuning in on me
She does it easy like ACB
He's hard to hold on the rolling road
He knows his rig's hot get through that roadblock
Ten miles to go oh radio
She knew it now so does he
Well I love you honey gimme a beer
Ooh go through it come sit right here


7.Do The Dark

Lyrics:Destri
Music:Destri

There you are giving candy
Making confidence with an easy eye
Easy words what a dancer
Dance you right into the corner in the fire
Do the dark apostle
Do the sidewalk hustle
Do the invisible dance in the fire, fire, fire, fire
Walk on glass with the master
There's no question he can't answer with his eyes
What a stage oh what a dancer
Looks like a baby with an old man's eyes
When you break the rules and you burn your bridges
And your fingers itch and they're getting wet
When you look at her
Do the dark apostle
Do the sidewalk hustle
Do the invisible dance in the fire, fire, fire, fire
Walk on glass walk on fire


8.Rapture

Lyrics:Harry/Stein
Music:Harry/Stein

Toe to toe dancing very close
Body breathing almost comatose
Wall to wall people hypnotized
And they're stepping lightly
Hang each night in rapture
Back to back sacroiliac
Spineless movement and a wild attack
Face to face sightless solitude
And it's finger popping
Twenty four hour shopping in rapture
Fab Five Freddy told me everybody's fly
DJ spinning I said 'My, My'
Flash is fast flash is cool
Francois c'est pas flashe non due
And you don't stop sure shot
Go out to the parking lot
And you get in your car and drive real far
And you drive all night and then you see a light
And it comes right down and it lands on the ground
And out comes the man from Mars
And you try to run but he's got a gun
And he shoots you dead and he eats your head
And then you're in the man from Mars
You go out at night eating cars
You eat Cadillacs Lincolns too
Mercurys and Subaru
And you don't stop
You keep on eating cars
Then when there's no more cars you go out at night
And eat up bars where the people meet
Face to face
Dance cheek to cheek
One to one
Man to man
Dance toe to toe
Don't move too slow 'cause the man from Mars is through with
cars
He's eating bars
Yeah wall to wall
Door to door
Hall to hall
He's gonna eat 'em all
Rapture
Be pure
Take a tour through the sewer
Don't strain your brain
Paint a train
You'll be singing in the rain
Said don't stop to the punk rock
Man to man, body muscular
Seismic movement, bite the jugular
One to one, tea-time technology and a digital ardour
No sign of Saviour in Rapture
Well now you see what you wanna be
Just have your party on TV
'Cause the man from Mars won't eat up bars where the TV's on
And now he's gone back up to space where he won't have a hassle
with the human race
And you hip hop
And you don't stop
Just blast off sure shot
Because the man from Mars stopped eating cars
And eating bars
And now he only eats guitars
Get up!


9.Faces

Lyrics:Harry
Music:Harry

Faces cracked for reason beyond recognition
His space is at the Palace
He sleeps for twenty five cents
Now he's wiping headlights windshields with an old rag
It ain't nine to five
Down and dirty he's an old tramp
He poses like a dead man
The night train passes by Money's not the answer for princes and
dancers
He's standing under street lights
He's thinking of his old life
He lost his pretty young wife
The corner is his big plan
His brunch with Jim and jitters
Boston blue laws ain't for shitters
And newsprint is for cheaters
Cement mattress for believers
Now he's shooting power curves
His buddies think he's got some nerve
Missus Face had other lovers
Her arms smothered other numbers
He freezes
Christmas season all Saints protect him
His face is cracked for reason beyond recognition


10.T-Birds

Lyrics:Harry/Harrison
Music:Harry/Harrison

Circle high circle low
Jammers fly T-birds
You show you show, whiplash go
You show you show, T-birds
(Look at my)
Mighty bird
(Here I go)
(They almost fly)
T-bird my mighty bird
(I must go)
On the dot in the slot tie the knot
On the dot timed kisses
In the slot on the dot tie the knot
In the slot no misses
(It's on high)
Mighty bird
(They slide through)
(They almost fly)
Mighty bird
(I must go)
T-bird my mighty bird
T-bird mighty bird
Black sun conquerer
Two thousand years ago
A great race of warriors
Who lived (south ________?)
They had many Gods
(________ asked them to talk to us?)
(They went higher..... ______________?)
(_________________ __________________?)
(_________________ __________________?)
(_________________ My'O My, My'O My ?)
Coil it up wind it out strike it hot!
Coil it up plumed serpent
Coil it up wind it out strike it hot!
Coil it up my T-bird
Serpent curl
T-bird rule the world
T-bird mighty bird
Black sun born again
Oh I love my T-bird T-bird


11.Walk Like Me

Lyrics:Destri
Music:Destri

We don't wear that uniform
paper men from pages torn right off the press it could be Tass
Suits for the regime
The media's gone and had a baby
Seventh wave another navy
I live in America: gridlock on the street
Tell that girl you like her badge
Tell that man you're the Nazz
Tell them you're not the last walking in parade
Dressed to test you up the road
Tighter than the latest clothes
Close the circle walk in row walking in parade
Why don't you walk like me?
Walk like me?
Walk like me?
Carrying the standard stick and marrying the politik
You won't know tomorrow what went down today
Look at me I'm in tune references around my room
Just another secret school another cycle going by
You never looked like that
Don't look like me
Don't take it back
You never had a name like that never had a color
Walking like a millionaire
walking on imported air
Change the way you comb your hair and watch what you walk under
Why don't you walk like me?
Walk like me?
Walk like me?
Walk like me?


12.Follow Me

Lyrics:Lerner/Lowe
Music:Lerner/Lowe

Far from day far from night out of time out of sight In between
earth and sea we shall fly
Follow me
Dry the rain warm the snow where winds never go
Follow me
Follow me
Follow me to a cave by a sapphire shore
Where we'll walk through an emerald door
And for thousands of breathless evermore's my life you will be
Only you
Only I
World farewell
World goodbye
To our home 'neath the sea we shall fly
Follow me
Follow me
Follow me
Follow me
Follow me
