Sunset And Babylon

W.A.S.P. Sunset And Babylon Lyrics
1.Sunset And Babylon

Witten By Blackie Lawless
From the Album 'First Blood - Last Cuts'


Just a little bit west of old Pasadena
Is a place I go, I call it home for me.
Call it what you will, Tinseltown for real,
It's the open edge where the debutantes run free.

Hollywood California, Rocktown USA,
Cruisin' down the strip is where I'll be -
At the Rainbow Bar and Grill
I'll drink 'til I get my fill
The home of the movie stars is where you'll find me....

Gimme, gimme Home - on Sunset
On Desolation Boulevard I ride
Gimme, gimme home - on Sunset
Oh, it's paradise on the fault line tonight.

Everybody's lost in the Land of Disney
Let's start seeing sister misery -
Sell your soul boy, buy a map to the stars!
Yeah! Ha ha ha ha!

It's the land of the twenty-four hour party
My fist wrapped firmly round a fifth of Bacardi
On the Sunset strip's where the orphans play tonight.

So if ya wanna get really rude
Just come on down - and we'll get crude
'Cos there ain't no place like here, baby I mean nowhere.

'Cos here's the land of sun and sin
All the freaks here gonna let you in
The shooting stars and the posers are gonna be there.

Gimme, gimme Home - on Sunset
On Desolation Boulevard I ride
Gimme, gimme home - on Sunset
Oh, it's paradise on the fault line tonight.

(repeat and fade)

2.Animal (Fuck Like A Beast)

I got pictures of naked ladies
Lying on their beds
I whiff that smell and sweet convulsion
Starts a-Swelling inside my head
I'm making artificial lovers for free
I start to howl I'm in heat
I moan and growl and the hunt drives me crazy

I fuck like a Beast

I come round, round i come feel your love
Tie you down, down i come steal your love
I come round, round i come feel your love
Tie you down, down i come steal your love

I'm on the prowl and i watch you closely
I lie waiting for you
I'm the wolf with the sheepsskins clothing
I lick my chops and your tasting good
I do whatever i want to, to ya
I'll nail your ass to the sheets
A pelvic thrust and the sweat starts to sting ya

I fuck like a beast

I come round, round i come feel your love
Tie you down, down i come steal your love
I come round, round i come feel your love
Tie you down, down i come steal your love
Come ride, savage seduction
Ride, ride, ride


3.Sleeping In The Fire

Touch, touch in the flame's desire
Feeling the pain's denial
And your finger's in the fire
Look, look in the candle light
See in the flame of life
And my spell our lie

Taste the love
The Lucifer's magic that makes you numb
The passion and all the pain are one
You're sleeping in the fire

Taste the love
The Lucifer's magic that makes you numb
You feel what it does and you're drunk on love
You're sleeping in the fire

I gaze as the flame and fire burn
And cry out the name of which I yearn

Taste the love
The Lucifer's magic that makes you numb
The passion and all the pain are one
You're sleeping in the fire

Taste the love
The Lucifer's magic that makes you numb
You feel what it does and you're drunk on love
You're sleeping in the fire


4.I Wanna Be Somebody

You say you don't wanna run and hide
A face that no-one knows
And everyone ya meet, you're gonna show
You're nobody's slave, nobody's chains are holdin' you
You hold your fist up high,
And rule the zoo

Oh, you just got to be
Up high where the whole world's watchin me
Cos I, I got the guts to be somebody
To cry out

I wanna be somebody,
Be somebody soon
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody too

You say you don't wanna starve
Or take the table crumbs that fall
You don't wanna beg or plead at all
You don't want no nine to five
Your fingers to the bone
You don't want the rock piles' bloody stones

Oh, you just got to be
Up high where the whole world's watchin me
Cos I, I got the guts to be somebody
To cry out

I wanna be somebody,
Be somebody soon
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody too

I want shiny cars and dirty money
Lotsa rock and roll
I will live in fame and die in flames
I'm NEVER gettin' old

I wanna be somebody,
Be somebody soon
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody too

I'm gonna be somebody,
I'm gonna be somebody
