Kids On The Street

Cherry Poppin' Daddies Kids On The Street Lyrics
1.Kids On The Street

It's time for a new understanding, if you're one of the many the
family has let go
Hold on stay together when crashin' selling fake hits of acid to
a college asshole

I can tell i disgust ugly old faces i see
You call us mallrats; the town is callous to the kids on the
street

I know like an animal's knowledge, what you never acknowledge,
and prefer to ignore
I go like a brick through a window, there may be no tomorrow, i
don't care anymore

Here i am, i ruined your wall, talk responsibility, ugliness,
mallrats
The town is callous to the kids on the street

Smarmy people, i'd like to blow them all away, vacant faces and
a language of cliches
Hypocrites aspiring to be all the same, i will act on all my
dreams and take things to extremes

I this time of new understanding, with the darkness descending
and your money all gone
I will hang tough making weirdness a virtue; i will never desert
you in your quest for the dawn


2.Say It To My Face

Thrilla in manilla, frazier and ali, can of olives, bag of
chips, a case of genesee
Daddy's unemployment check is all we got; i need a long sleeve
helmet just to cover all my thought

Go after the neighbors now you must protect your home
Tears of rage are streaming down your drunken muzzle
Paranoia foaming from the things your brother stole
If you can intimidate then you can control, yeah

Say it to my face
Say it to my face you fuckin' coward
Say it to my face
If you're gonna talk you better say it to my face

I hearted when you farted; it smelled like rubber bands
Is that the sound of boiling fat or is it clappin hands
I'm a little blacker then the other sheep
I dreamed i'ze makin love to dolphins when i'ze dumpin in my
sleep

How now say it to my face, i'm in a bad bad way
I'll find a cow and i'll buck it a rodeo
I'll put your battery on my tongue
Go fetch a knife and then off with your thumbs
Say it to my face
Say it to my face you fuckin' coward
Say it to my face
If you're gonna talk you better say it to my face

Face!


3.We'll Always Have Paris

Feline, recline here in my room of blue
Eyes of green mystery, transmissions
I loved the way you moved.
I feel all right
Yeah i'm ok
16 stories above the street
Shiva diva angel whore
You and me, yeah.

This room is fur in electric blue
Shiny black and tight on you
Rent bloody movies laugh and screw
Shiny black and tight on you
Fleur de mal, you fell down...down down

Sometimes i see someone who reminds me of you
I'm fine, i still write
Live in squalor and you still refuse
In the years after the plane left i forgot all of my french
I was too young to know
It would be my last chance.

This room is fur in electric blue
Shiny black and tight on you
Rent bloody movies laugh and screw
Shiny black and tight on you
I'm your trade
You're my trade
I'm your slave
You're my slave
I'm okay, you're okay. i'm okay

I'm dying to come for you
This room is fur in electric blue
Shiny black and tight on you.
Drink bloody mary's laugh and screw. (in my room of blue)
Shiny black and tight on you
Kneel before the horse and kiss his hooves (in my room of blue)
Fleur de mal you fell, down...down...down...
Shiny black and tight on you


4.Trapped Inside The Planet Of The Roller-skating Bees

All systems were go as the spaceship left detroit
With planet x-17 as our destination tonight
The craft hit some mystery turbulence and we heard a sort of
rolling buzz
They took our minds
We lost our minds
We must escape because.

We were trapped inside the planet of the roller-skating bees
'cause we were trapped inside the planet of the roller-skating
bees
We were trapped inside the planet of the roller-skating bees

Their eyes were blank-dead sockets like two pissholes in the
snow
Their busy buzzing cheap cliches will give you social
climberitis in your toe
All they have is beedium
All the alternatives are banned
But be careful you stick to the script they know
'cause they sting when they don't understand
They go like this
Ooh aaa ooh aaa

Don't try thinkin it ain't worth a dime
You're on the planet of the bees tonight
Straight things start makin wiggly lines
It's not funny when they take your mind
It's one weird warping potty time tonight yeah

'cause we were trapped inside the planet of the roller-skating
bees
'cause we were trapped inside the planet of the roller-skating
bees
'cause we were trapped inside the planet of the roller-skating
bees

'cause we were trapped inside the planet
Trapped inside the planet
'cause we were trapped inside the planet
Trapped inside the planet
'cause we were trapped inside the planet
Trapped inside the planet
'cause we were trapped inside the planet of the roller-skating
bees!


5.Millionaire

Can you read the determination on my face; i'm as solid as the
gravel now.
Cause i kept getting on my feet after all the times you knocked
me down.
Went back to see the place i came from and i began to understand
my pride
From the brick streets a northern factory town where grandma's
work improved my chances

Common man, this is me, i'm not ashamed to be here i am this is
me.
I'm glad you're uncomfortable near me

Never had nothin never no one to care, nothin but the wind in my
hair, still i'm a millionaire

You see me standin out on fifth and union right across from the
abandoned drive-in
The sun's gone down on the future here, the past one leaves my
mind
The rich boys gave up on you but the soul out here is much too
strong
And i'll carry it with me for my whole life, the face of human
dignity
I don't have to be the boy with the most cake. i don't have to
be the boy with the most cake
Still i'm a millionaire.

Instrumental


7.Cosa Nostra

Lead pipe slammed in a storekeeper's head
Looks like spaghetti decomposin in bed
Please don't shoot, god think of my kids
You shut your yap you dirty piece of shit

We're cosa nostra cosa nostra

A greasy nightclub up on a tinsel stage
Outside they bother you for money
Just goin' along for the boss everyday so matter a fact when she
sucks him

Do like the animals do
I hear the maggots have chewed who you most loved
How they've come for you

It takes some pressure to make a diamond
It takes some losin' to win a soul
It takes a bleak house to run away from
It takes a warm bed to appreciate the cold world inside of you

Shouldn't of dropped out of school to the bus tub
Are you unloved
Make the most of
Make the most of what's still left of you


8.Irish Whiskey

Caught in a revolving door and my lungs are suffocating.
Working hard is my reward and my job is so frustrating.
I'm a martyr to myself and a hero to my family. i can feel a
breaking point, a longing to be free
But instead i'll hang in there and suffer with the rest. i'm a
drunk and a sentimental man
So dust off a bottle of your best irish whiskey and drink with
me to departed friends, to departed friends

In the middle of the night i wake up, my heart is pounding
I expected more from life than a house and tv watching
Cuz i wimped out on myself, take it out on my friends and family
Cuz they don't appreciate i sacrificed my dreams
Hey there guys i'm not the enemy it's just shared frustration
that makes us fight
It's a long way to drive to not make any money, merry christmas,
at least we gotta try


9.Flower Fight With Morrissey

Hurt your pride, staggered into bed and fell asleep by your side
Gone all night numbing my brutality, you sleep with your back to
mine
Vanity fair, vanity fair it's all a game for us.
A come on to remain unaware. open your eyes hook up your hair,
paint on a face
For all the good times like a sign that you care.

Everybody's got so many things to say i can make a face and take
off, hate me i don't care

Time your strike, strike your prime forget it the pita is to
high
Right your right people are revolting; the resiliency of the
doomed is nice
I had to face your make-up face


10.Modsquadrophenia

Thought i was strong, turned out i was wrong, i lost a friend,
three on a match again.
Three on a match again, looks like i lost a friend; i'll never
go three on a match again.
(yeah)
Three on a match again, looks like i lost a friend; i'll never
go three on a match again.

When we were young, and glitter rock was done, we played
guitars, small spiders from mars
Three on a match again, looks like i lost a friend; i'll never
go three on a match again.

I'm drinkin hard cuz this ain't easy, wakin up with my best
friend's girl
I want to go, i feel so sleazy is that what they said, what they
said now
I feel this woman around me, to fill this empty need, but i know
i've got to go
Hey baby with this book a matches strike one and burned all
three
Well i know i've got to learn, please forgive me, please forgive
me, please forgive me,
Please forgive me.


11.Silver Tongued Devil

She don't like him talkin to blondes
Girls in town ain't used to men like john
Another waitress sets him up for free
Ain't that good lookin but he sure knows what to say
Yeah
He's got a voice like a tuxedo and pink champagne
When he speaks his heart it sounds so lonely like a leavin train
He sounds so lonely
You're one silver tongued devil

Next door neighbors since we were nine
This old mill town is in a sharp decline
Talks about leaving almost every day
It's the end of the season and there's no reason to stay
Sometimes he'd talk about a fantasy
To go off and become a famous guy
His girlfriend just had the baby and how it would break his
heart
Now to leave them behind.


12.Here Comes The Snake

Here comes the snake and he circles your leg
He's come to play and make your
Body parts shake
He comes swervin' down your hall
It'll feel so good when he gives it his all

He's like a jail and you need an escape
Want you to come get a file in your cake
I know he did you wrong and i'm here to give ya what you wanted
all along
Here comes the snake

Yes, i believe but i'd rather not pray
What i believe in i'd rather not say baby
Did your god show you the door
Well, i'm here to eat your apple to the core
Here comes the snake


13.The Enemy Within

He's my evil twin
He's the enemy inside me
It's me against him and i hate his wicked grin
But we're brothers to the end
He will break your heart but i'll do my best to stop him
He's ticking like a bomb
I adore you but he forks his tongue
I'm just not myself today

I try to smile, but the creature lurks right below
I just can't keep the lid on of the enemy in my soul
He tears down all the things i worked so hard for
I'm gonna get my gun and kill the enemy within

Round and around i go
Caught by the undertow
I can't escape myself at midnight
Footsteps and shadows swirl
The prince of the underworld chases me through the fog at
midnight

He wants you to approve
Fears he will be called a failure
He plays cat and mouse with you
But i don't know who is more the fool
His jekyll or his hyde
Fly above the multitudes
Or just give them what they're used to
He's lit by candlelight
His quill is full of blood and spite


14.Luther Lane

Buried in a field of crosses, the ghost of an american son
Seventeen at vicksburg when he heard the thunder of the guns
And his friends were all there with him when they laid him
beneath the frost
The preacher said ..the brotherhood of battle is always greater
then the cause

Nightmare of blastin' light, ashes in the wind
I couldn't find him to say goodbye; he was my only friend
All the kinfolk met the train that carried luther lane
I had a few in his name; i got good and drunk for luther lane

Six white horses pulled the carriage the band played nearer my
god to thee
And all the children were starin', luther, the missing part of
me
I got an all of a sudden taste for whiskey as i was cold and it
was gettin' late
I know i shouldn't have done it but i nicked a buck off the
collection plate

Gendarme he grabbed my arm and dragged me off to jail
I'm sittin here one-legged luther
I know you woulda posted bail

All the kinfolk met the train that carried luther lane
I had a few in his name; i got good and drunk for luther lane

You sure did make it tough for job and me, my lord
Two bodies fell as one casualty of war
I shoulda gone down under the ground with all the corps
When you've survived enough it's not enough for some lord i know


15.Don Quixote

Honor was not just a word
To knights of old who pledged their faith
In love over gold, love over gold.
Now they laughed at his fantasy world
And maximized all the potentials to earn the middle class was
too blind to see
The true nobility of don quixote.

Oh, don quixote fight your way into their hearts
Commit your hearts all

How unreal are the dragons he slays
Is his coat of arms just an empty clich?
Colossal ignorance shared by the crowd
The brainless bigots cast an inhuman shroud
Many hearts and minds are going to waste
Liberal philosophies you wear like your clothes
The modern hypocrite he don't even know
Who could be proud of this blank generation
Who could be proud of you blank

Sit there, sit there watching
