Inside The Electric Circus

W.A.S.P. Inside The Electric Circus Lyrics
1.9.5. - N.a.s.t.y.

BLACKIE LAWLESS and CHRIS HOLMES

One woman down my street is, too hot
for the average man
Hard to handle, a fire in her eye
Wants the hot rocks right in her hand
I know she's burning, hot with love
A come-on look and she ain't fooling
And she knows just what it does
She gave me a number to make me feel fine
Said call me up baby
It's gonna be 9.5. - N.A.S.T.Y.
You're everything I need
Cause I want what you're giving
I'm yours to do with what you please

N.A.S.T.Y., you're everything I need
Cause I want what you're giving
I'm yours to do with what you please

Ooh - no mama's baby, this child
She's a killer wrapped in high heel shoes
Touch the skin it burns like fire
I don't even care if I'm being used
Threw me down and then she tore off my jeans
She said, come on baby, I mean business
I'm gonna show you what liberated means
Do it to me baby
I'm losing my mind
Said call me up honey
Tonight I'm 9.5. - N.A.S.T.Y.

You're everything I need
Cause I want what you're giving
I'm yours to do with what you please

N.A.S.T.Y., you're everything I need
Cause I want what you're giving
I'm yours to do with what you please

Some bad habits, are hard to break
Like an earthquake coming
I got to shake, shake, shake

9.5. - N.A.S.T.Y., you're everything I need
Cause I want what you're giving
I'm yours to do with what you please

N.A.S.T.Y., you're everything I need
Cause I want what you're giving
I'm yours to do with what you please

3.Easy Living

HENSLEY

This is a thing I've never known before
It's called easy living
This is a place I've never seen before
And I've been forgiven

Easy living, and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken your place in my heart

Somewhere along the lonely road
I had tried to find you
Day after day on the winding road
I had walked behind you

Easy living, and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken your place in my heart

Waiting, watching, wishing my wh
life away
Feeling, fainting, ready for my happy day

Somewhere along the lonely road
I had tried to find you
Day after day on the winding road
I had walked right behind you

Easy living, and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken your place in my heart
Easy living, and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken your place in my heart


4.I Don't Need No Doctor

(N.ASHFORD/V.SIMPSON/J.ARMSTEAD)

I don't need no doctor
'Cause I know what's ailing me
I don't need no doctor
'Cause I know what's ailing me (yes, I do)
All I need is my baby
You don't know I'm in misery

I don't need no doctor
I don't need no doctor

I don't need no doctor
My prescription tells me that
I don't need no doctor
My prescription tells me that
All I need is my baby
You don't know I'm in misery

I don't need no doctor
I don't need no doctor
I don't need no doctor
I don't need no doctor

Well, the doctor said I need rest - ooh, ooh
He put me on the critical list - ooh, ooh
Keeping me safe from harm - ooh, ooh
All I need is her sweet charm - ooh, ooh
He gave me a medical lotion, that
wouldn't do
Ooh - yeah, my motion, oh yeah, no
doctor no !

I don't need no doctor
I don't need no doctor
I don't need no doctor
I don't need no doctor

I don't need no doctor
I don't need no doctor
I don't need no doctor
I don't n


5.I'm Alive

BLACKIE LAWLESS
(This song is dedicated to oppressive organizations world wide
wherever they may be.)

The target is me, a monster you flee
I hate what you say and you do
A mirror is there and look if you dare
The fool that you see's only you
Oh, no, you won't, nail me to your tree,
Or hang my head up high
No kingdom reigns over me
Despise all the liars I see
Don't give me your
'Save my soul' cure

I - I'm still alive, and I, am a soul survivor
You can't understand, why
I - I'm still alive, and I, am a soul survivor
Damn your holy man - alive

Can't understand, the lord of the land
Your heart and your head made of stone
Lay in the sand my blood on your hands
For God's sake just leave me alone
Oh, no, you won't, nail me to your tree
Or hang my head up high
Restless is all I can be
Ruthless and wreckless you see
I don't need your
'Save my soul' cure

I - I'm still alive, and I, am a soul survivor
You can't understand, why
I - I'm still alive, and I, am a soul survivor
Damn your holy man - alive

Force suppression, that's what you do
Tell me what's in it for you
Listen, I'm on to your game
All your lies are the same

I - I'm still alive, and I, am a soul survivor
You can't understand, why
I - I'm still alive, and I, am a soul survivor
Damn your holy man - alive


6.Inside The Electric Circus

BLACKIE LAWLESS

A scream unlocks the cage
The roar's rock the stage
Hunger of animals are calling
Thrive upon the rage
Paw prints on the page
The roam's going wild, walls are falling
Lights shine illumination bright
Reveal all the madness here tonight

Welcome, I bid you welcome, to life
Inside the electric circus
Hang on, hang on for your life
The animals are all insane - God help us

Electricity to burn
Amplifiers churn
Three ring madhouse calls the action
It's life upon the road
Insane asylum grows
Night after night, the main attraction
A strange world that you might wanna know
When it comes alive - crank up the show

Welcome, I bid you welcome, to life
Inside the electric circus
Hang on, hang on for your life
The animals are all insane - God help us

Welcome, I bid you welcome, to life
Inside the electric circus
Hang on, hang on for your life
The animals are all insane - God help us

Welcome, I bid you welcome, to life
Inside the electric circus
Hang on, hang on for your life
The animals are all insane - God help us


7.King Of Sodom And Gomorrah

BLACKIE LAWLESS and CHRIS HOLMES

So you wanna know what's going on
When we get wild, and we're up until dawn
The parties and the stories, they're all true
Ain't nothing left when we're through
One distant land where it's all sin and sand

King of Sodom, I want the flesh
Gotta have it, I love it to death
King of Sodom, I eat'em alive
Like a Savage, the strong will survive

Wicked souls, a hunger for lust
You lay it down, we're going for bust
We live a life, that's hell on wheels
You don't know how it feels
Ride the wind, and soon you'll all be in

Sodom and Gomorrah - ooh, sweet
Gomorrah
We're the present tribe - the present tribe
Children of the fire - of the fire
Burning up alive, alive, alive, alive

King of Sodom, I want the flesh
Gotta have it, I love it to death
King of Sodom, I eat'em alive
Like a Savage, the strong will survive

King of Sodom, I want the flesh
Gotta have it, I love it to death
King of Sodom, I eat'em alive
Like a Savage, the strong will survive


8.Mantronic

BLACKIE LAWLESS and CHRIS HOLMES

You see me, a man and machine
All my life, so hungry and lean
Watch me bleed, and I feel no pain
I'm going wild, and slowly insane

Mantronic, I'm on the loose
Bionic, my neck in the noose
Mantronic, I'm still the king
Bionic, half man and machine

One fast lane, on top of the world
Balls of steel, mechanical pearls
I
Feels like hell, and cut to the bone

Mantronic, I'm on the loose
Bionic, my neck in the noose
Mantronic, I'm still the king
Bionic, half man and machine

Be careful now
Because what you wish for
Just may come true
If you look
Behind that door

Mantronic, I'm on the loose
Bionic, my neck in the noose
Mantronic, I'm still the king
Bionic, half man and machine


9.Restless Gypsy

BLACKIE LAWLESS

For so long now, I'm racing on, in the wind
On this road, I'm moving on
I feel her heat, the desert sun burning skin
Never stopping, always on the run
Ooh, forever all I want is you here by my side
But I can't wait too long, no
Holding me, is like, taming the seven seas

Call me restless gypsy, all I need
Is to catch the wind, where my heart's in
And I'm riding in the breeze
Call me restless gypsy, to the end
Riding free - is all I need
My spirit's in the wind

Move too fast, no never hold me down
Catch me if you really think you
Feel my touch, two lovers cry that sound
Never, ever knowing who I am
Ooh, I want you closer baby, don't you
take too long
Cause, tomorrow I'll be gone, yeah
And holding me, is like, holding the
seven seas

Call me restless gypsy, all I need
Is to catch the wind, where my heart's in
And I'm riding in the breeze
Call me restless gypsy, to the end
Riding free - is all I need
My spirit's in the wind

Easy rider on the highway
Got the wind in my hair
Come on, you can touch me where I lay
Running free without a care

Call me restless gypsy, all I need
Is to catch the wind, where my heart's in
And I'm riding in the breeze
Call me restless gypsy, to the end
Riding free - is all I need
My spirit's in the wind


10.Shoot From The Hip

BLACKIE LAWLESS

All my life I've taken what I want
Give an inch, take a mile
Always on the hunt
Ooh - sex, money, fast cars, never get my fill
I ride hard and die free
Paying for my thrills
Firewater moonshine, going to my head
Me and my pistols loaded
Go out and knock'em dead

I'm gonna shoot it, bang-boom
Shoot it from the hip
Got it loaded bang, pull the trigger boom
I don't never miss

I'm gonna shoot it, bang-boom
Shoot it from the hip
Got it loaded bang, pull the trigger boom
I don't never miss
Cock it and let'er rip

Hot sweaty steel, a woman's fingers on my gun
Pull it hard, touch the trigger squeeze it
when I'm gone
Ooh - come woman, touch me, put it
in your hand
Take a hold, heart and soul
Honey, I'm your man
Cock the hammer slowly, and aim it at your love
Put my barrel in your holster
Like a velvet glove

I'm gonna shoot it, bang-boom
Shoot it from the hip
Got it loaded bang, pull the trigger boom
I don't never miss

I'm gonna shoot it, bang-boom
Shoot it from the hip
Got it loaded bang, pull the trigger boom
I don't never miss
Cock it and let'er rip

Hot and sticky, here it comes
Emotion you can't tame
Kinda tricky watch it run
Smoking like a flame, flame, flame, flame

Hot and sticky, here it comes
I got the bullets, load it up
Slide it into place
My emotion
Coming down all across your face

I'm gonna shoot it, bang-boom
Shoot it from the hip
Got it loaded bang, pull the trigger boom
I don't never miss

I'm gonna shoot it, bang-boom
Shoot it from the hip
Got it loaded bang, pull the trigger boom
I don't never miss
Cock it and let'er rip


11.Sweet Cheetah

BLACKIE LAWLESS and CHRIS HOLMES

One night as I rode down some long
winding road
I saw you, and I knew, I couldn't let you go
Half child and all woman, vision fantasy
Cast against the moonlight, bathed in ecstasy
Leopard skin and cat's eyes
Has the jungle made you wild
The prey you're after, if you faster
Will it make you smile
Ride with me, I'll set you free
Chains can't hold us down
I need you, if you want me
Lovers we are bound

Sweet Cheetah, Cheetah
I love it when your claws run through me
Fever, fever, I love it babe
Come do it to me
Cheetah, Cheetah
I love it when your claws run through me
Fever, fever, I love it babe
Come do it to me now, to me now

Skin tight you move in, so slowly to thrill
Waiting for the nighttime then you're
in for the kill
Amazon so sleekly, you know what to do
Eat the flesh, and save my heart
And leave it when you're through
Pain and pleasures all mine
Untamed and running wild
Sink your teeth into me
Lick your lips and smile
Take my hand and ride the land
Forever you and me
Hold on tight, to me all night
And set your spirit free

Sweet Cheetah, Cheetah
I love it when your claws run through me
Fever, fever, I love it babe
Come do it to me
Cheetah, Cheetah
I love it when your claws run through me
Fever, fever, I love it babe
Come do it to me now, to me now


12.The Rock Rolls On

BLACKIE LAWLESS

There's never a day, that's passing my way
That I never need it
My hands on the wheel, my foot's on the steel
Cause I gotta feel it

The rock rolls forever on - ooh forever on
Like thunder - coming down, ooh it's
coming down
The rock rolls forever on - ooh forever
Like thunder - coming down, aah yeah

It blows through my veins, like thunder and rain
And I can't live without it
I scream for the crowds, and turn it up loud
Cause I gotta shout it

The rock rolls forever on - ooh forever on
Like thunder - coming down, ooh it's
coming down, aah yeah
The rock rolls forever on - ooh forever
Like thunder - com

Six string and lightning strikes
Come make me blind
Aah burn it up
Bring down the pedal to the metal
Just one more time
Aah turn it up

The rock rolls forever on - ooh forever on
Like thunder - coming down, ooh it's
coming down
The rock rolls forever on - ooh forever
Like thunder - coming down

Forever never stop
Forever never stop
Forever never stop
Forever never stop
