The J. Geils Band Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Love Stinks

Lyricist:Seth Justman, Peter Wolf

You love her but she loves him
And he loves somebody else
You just can't win

And so it goes till the day you die
This thing they call love
It's gonna make you cry

I've had the blues
The reds and the pinks
One thing for sure

Love stinks
(Love stinks, yeah, yeah)
Love stinks
(Love stinks, yeah, yeah)

Love stinks
(Love stinks, yeah, yeah)
Love stinks
(Love stinks, yeah, yeah)

Two by two and side by side
Love's gonna find you, yes it is
You just can't hide

You'll hear it call
Your heart will fall
Then love will fly, it's gonna soar

I don't care
For any Casanova thing
All I can say is

Love stinks
(Love stinks, yeah, yeah)
Love stinks
(Love stinks, yeah, yeah)

Love stinks
(Love stinks, yeah, yeah)
Love stinks
(Love stinks, yeah, yeah)

I've been through diamonds
I've been through minks
I've been through it all

Love stinks
(Love stinks, yeah, yeah)
Love stinks
(Love stinks, yeah, yeah)

Love stinks, love stinks, yeah, yeah
(Love stinks)
Love stinks, love stinks, yeah, yeah
(Love stinks)

Love stinks, love stinks, yeah, yeah
(Love stinks)
Love stinks, yeah, yeah
(Love stinks)
Love stinks, love stinks, yeah, yeah


2.First I Look at the Purse

Lyricist:William Robinson, Robert Rogers

Some fellas look at the eyes
Some fellas look at the nose
Some fellas look at the size
Some fellas look at the clothes

I don't care if her eyes are red
I don't care if her nose is long
I don't care if she's underfed
I don't care if her clothes are worn

First I look at the purse

Some fellas like the smiles they wear
Some fellas like the legs, that's all
Some fellas like the styles of their hair
Want their waist to be small

I don't care if their legs are thin
I don't care if their teeth are big
I don't care if their hair is a wig
Why waste time lookin' at the waistline?

First I look at the purse

A woman can be fat as can be
Kisses sweet as honey
But that don't mean a thing to me
If you ain't got no money, baby

If the purse is fat, that's where it's at

Some fellas like the way they walk
The way they swing and sway
Some fellas like the way they talk
Dig the things they say

I don't care if they wobble like a
Or talk with a lisp
I still think I'm a good lover
If the dollar bills are crisp

First I look at the purse

First I look at the purse
First I look at the purse
First I look at the purse
First I look at the purse

I don't care man, if you got yourself a wrap
All I want is your pretty green cash
Bought me a suit, I bought me a car
Want me to look like a Hollywood star

Money
(Money)
I want money
(Money)
Baby, ain't no 'Why!', baby
(Money)
I need money

First I look at the purse
First I look at the purse
First I look at the purse
...


3.Do You Remember When?

Lyricist:S Justman, P Wolf

I overheard someone mention your name
I overheard, now my heart feels the pain
I thought that I would get over you with time
But here you are again, you're back in my mind

Time moves slowly since you've gone away
Life moves slowly since you've gone away

Do you, do you remember when
Our hearts, our hearts were together then?
You're gone, we're out on our own again
My love, do you remember when?

I walk the room where we both used to sit
I walk the room and I refuse to admit
That I'm all alone and our love's been left behind
And now once again, you are back in my mind

Life's so empty since you've gone away
I'm so empty since you've gone away

Do you, do you remember when
Our hearts, our hearts were together then?
You're gone, we're out on our own again
My love, do you remember when?

Do you, do you remember when
Our hearts, our hearts were together then?
You're gone, we're out on our own again
My love, do you remember when
You're gone, you're gone, you're gone?


4.River Blindness

Lyricist:S Justman, P Wolf

Human kindness, river blindness
Black flies rise as the water flows
Human kindness, river blindness
Angels cry as the fever grows

Indications, demographics
Control of the basics is all you see
Correlations, disintegrations
Cessation of life expectancy

Got to face it, can't erase it
Or the tropical lands
Or the tropical lands
Or the tropical lands
Gonna rip up Tinsel Town

Blueprint mortality, twist off neutrality
This must be reality, this must be the place
Just imbalance trickling down from the falls
Trickling down from the falls, trickling down
Trickling down, trickling down

Human kindness, river blindness
Black flies rise as the water flows
Human kindness, river blindness
Angels cry as the fever grows

Got to face it, can't erase it
Or the tropical lands
Or the tropical lands
Or the tropical lands
Gonna rip up Tinsel Town

Human kindness, river blindness
Black flies rise as the water flows
Human kindness, river blindness
Angels cry as the fever grows


Human kindness, river blindness
Black flies rise as the water flows
Human kindness, river blindness
Angels cry as the fever grows

Human kindness, river blindness
Black flies rise as the water flows
Human kindness, river blindness
Angels cry as the fever grows
...


5.Flame Thrower

Lyricist:Seth Justman

All day long she holds it back
Back with all her might
She carries a burnin' torch inside
She holds it firm and tight

She punches out the clock
While it keeps punchin' out her life
She's a flame thrower, red-hot glower
Flame thrower at night

The things she wears at work
They hang off her kinda loose
Her blouse don't fit, the pants ain't right
She ain't no front page news

But when her work is done
And the daytime turns to night
The headlines flash neon
That the girl has taken flight

Chairman of the board
Won't look her in the eye
The fire of her vision
His money just can't buy

Silently she waits
Silently she contemplates
She can make 'em tremble
You know the reason why

She's a flame, flame thrower
She's a flame thrower at night
She's a flame, a red-hot glower
She's a flame thrower at night

You might think you're burnin'
All your candles at both ends
Maybe you should go to church
To make up some amends

But if you think you're fireproof
So cool and much too much
Don't dare go near my baby
'Cause she'll melt you with her touch

I forget the darkness
I forget the pain
When she's movin' through my heart
And when she's pumpin' through my veins

She's the part inside me
I never can control
And she's the only reason
I know I've got a soul

She's a flame, flame thrower
She's a flame thrower at night
She's a flame, a red-hot glower
She's a flame thrower at night

Yeah
Oh yeah
Yeah

Well, she's a flame, flame thrower
She's a flame thrower at night
She's a flame, a red-hot glower
She's a flame thrower at night

She's a flame, flame thrower
She's a flame thrower at night
She's a flame, a red-hot glower
She's a flame thrower at night

Do, do, do, do, do, do


7.The Usual Place

Lyricist:Don Covay, Leroy Randolph

Please be there on time
Please be there on time
Darlin' don't be late for darlin' I can't wait
Please be there on time the usual place

I can't go through another night
Been so long since I held you tight
Darlin' don't disappoint me, keep me out of misery
Please be there on time the usual place

You're the sugar
You're the sugar in my coffee, baby
You're the salt
The salt in my bread, oh yes, you are baby

And if I don't
I don't get to see ya soon, baby, oh yeah
I think I'll go out of my head
Please, please, please, please

Please, be there on time
Please, be there on time
Darlin', please don't be late
Don't let nothin' stand in your way
Please be there on time at the usual place


8.Must of Got Lost

Lyricist:Seth Justman, Peter Wolf

Never thought about tomorrow
Seemed like a long time to come
How could I be so blind, baby
Not to see you were the one

I let you slip on from me, honey
I let you walk on by
I refused the love you had for me
I refused the love and let it die

I must of got lost, I must of got lost
I must of got lost somewhere down the line
I must of got lost, I must of got lost
To give away the days you were mine

Love can be a sweet thing
I just don't understand
I made a game of loving you
And now I hold the losing hand

So I must of got lost, I must of got lost
I must of got lost somewhere down the line
I must of got lost, I must of got lost
To give away the days that you were mine

I just can't understand it
I just can't understand it
I just don't understand it

And I must of got lost, I must of got lost
I must of got lost somewhere down the line
I must of got lost, I must of got lost
To give away the days you were mine

I must of got lost, I must of got lost
I must of got lost somewhere down the line
I must of got lost, I must of got lost
To give away the days you were mine

Well, I must of got lost, I must of got lost
I must of got lost somewhere down the line


9.Flamethrower

Lyricist:Seth Justman

All day long she holds it back
Back with all her might
She carries a burnin' torch inside
She holds it firm and tight

She punches out the clock
While it keeps punchin' out her life
She's a flamethrower, red-hot glower
Flamethrower at night

The things she wears at work
They hang off her kinda loose
Her blouse don't fit, the pants ain't right
She ain't no front page news

But when her work is done
And the daytime turns to night
The headlines flash in neon
That the girl has taken flight

Chairman of the board
Won't look her in the eye
The fire of her vision
His money just can't buy

Silently she waits
Silently she contemplates
She can make 'em tremble
You know the reason why

She's a flame, flamethrower
She's a flamethrower at night
She's a flame, a red-hot glower
She's a flamethrower at night

You might think you're burnin'
All your candles at both ends
Maybe you should go to church
To make up some amends

But if you think you're fireproof
So cool and much too much
Don't dare go near my baby
'Cause she'll melt you with her touch

I forget the darkness
I forget the pain
When she's movin' through my heart
And when she's pumpin' through my veins

She's the part inside me
I never can control
And she's the only reason
I know I've got a soul

She's a flame, flamethrower
She's a flamethrower at night
She's a flame, a red-hot glower
She's a flamethrower at night

10.Piss on the Wall

Lyricist:S Justman, P Wolf

Now, some people think the world is what it ain't
To some I'm a sinner, to others a saint
Some folks say, the world ain't what it is
All I know is I just got to take a wiz

But where am I goin' and where have I been
My head's in the clouds and my tail's in a spin
Jumpin' out of planes for the thrill of it all
Then I bounce right back and take a piss on the wall

Politics, shmolitics, they oughta save their breath
A mean streak,a blue streak, they sentence me to death
Harangue me from a tree, twist and shout until I crawl
Do the flip, do the flop, but piss on the wall

Well, the Yanks hate the Reds and the Greeks hate the Turks
I really hate to say it, but they're all a bunch of jerks
Seems like everybody's shakin' 'cause the big one's 'bout to
fall
I'm just tryin' to hold it steady while I piss on the wall

Piss on the wall, piss on the wall


11.One Last Kiss

Lyricist:Seth Justman, Peter Wolf

Just one last kiss
Before I walk, out the door
I'm gonna hold you tighter
Than I ever did before

And I, I never promised you
The things you promised me
And I, I can't justify
The way it's gotta be

And the good times are the best times
The bad times fade away
The good times are forever
But now baby, the last time is today

Just one more night
There's no time for anymore
I'm gonna tell you somethin'
That you've never heard before

But I, I can't find the words
To ease your lover's pain
And I, I know the feeling's gone
I can feel it in my veins

And the good times are the best times
The bad times fade away
The good times are forever
But now baby, the last time is today
One last kiss

And the good times are the best times
The bad times fade away
The good times are forever
But now baby, the last time is today
One last kiss


12.Come Back

Lyricist:Seth Justman, Peter Wolf

When you left me all alone
You left me cryin' on my own

Tell me, tell me what you gonna do
Tell me pretty baby, 'cause I'm still in love with you

Come back
(Baby)
Come back
(Won't you come back to me?)

Come back
(Baby)
Come back
(Won't you come back to me?)

Here I'm standin', such a fool
It's not like you baby, oh, don't be cruel

Help me, help me 'cause you know I'm not that strong
Help me, help me darlin', I've been lonely for too long

Come back
(Baby)
Come back
(Won't you come back to me?)

Come back
(Baby)
Come back

Tell me, tell me what you gonna do
Tell me pretty baby, 'cause I'm still in love with you

Come back
(Baby)
Come back
(Won't you come back to me?)

Come back
(Baby)
Come back
(Won't you come back to me?)

Come back
(Baby)
Come back
(Please, come back to me darlin', ahh)

Come back
(Baby)
Come back
(Won't you come back to me?)


13.Just Can't Wait

Lyricist:S Justman, P Wolf

Your daddy's tellin' you
I just ain't no good
And everything I try to do
Is just misunderstood

But I don't care if your daddy says it's wrong
I just can't stand to be away from you too long

I just can't wait
I just can't wait
I just can't wait
I just can't wait

The clock upon my wall
It must be runnin' slow
Tonight when you're here next to me
I'll never let you go

I wish the day would hurry up and set us free
Because tonight with you is where I want to be

I just can't wait
I just can't wait
I just can't wait
I just can't wait

Ooh, girl
Holdin' me so tight
Ooh, girl
I can't wait 'til tonight

But I don't care if your daddy says it's wrong
I just can't stand to be away from you too long

I just can't wait
I just can't wait
I just can't wait
I just can't wait

I just can't wait
I just can't wait
I just can't wait
I just can't wait

I just can't wait, no, no, my baby
I just can't wait, no, no, no
I just can't wait, no, no, my baby
I just can't wait, no, no, no


14.Centerfold

Lyricist:Seth Justman

Come on

Does she walk? Does she talk?
Does she come complete?
My homeroom, homeroom angel
Always pulled me from my seat

She was pure like snowflakes
No one could ever stain
The memory of my angel
Could never cause me pain

Years go by I'm lookin'
Through a girly magazine
And there's my homeroom angel
On the pages in-between

My blood runs cold
My memory has just been sold
My angel is the centerfold
(Angel is the centerfold)
My blood runs cold
My memory has just been sold
Angel is the centerfold

Slipped me notes under the desk
While I was thinkin' about her dress
I was shy I turned away
Before she caught my eyes

I was shakin' in my shoes
Whenever she flashed those baby-blues
Something had a hold on me
When angel passed close by

Those soft and fuzzy sweaters
Too magical to touch
To see her in that negligee
Is really just too much

(My blood runs cold)
Yeah, my memory has just been sold
My angel is the centerfold
(Angel is the centerfold)
My blood runs cold)
My memory has just been sold, oh yeah
Angel is the centerfold

Now listen
It's okay I understand
This ain't no never-never land
I hope that when this issue's gone
I'll see you when your clothes are on

Take your car, yes we will
We'll take your car and drive it
We'll take it to a motel room
And take 'em off in private

A part of me has just been ripped
The pages from my mind are stripped
Oh no, I can't deny it
Oh yea, I guess I gotta buy it!

(My blood runs cold)
My memory has just been sold
My angel is the centerfold
(Angel is the centerfold)
My blood runs cold
My memory has just been sold
My angel is the centerfold

All right
All right
One, two, three, four

My blood runs cold
My memory has just been sold
My angel is the centerfold
Angel is the centerfold
My blood runs cold, oh yeah
My memory has just been sold
My angel is the centerfold
My angel is the centerfold


15.Freeze-Frame

Lyricist:Seth Justman, Peter Wolf

Freeze-frame

Slow-motion weekdays stare me down
Her lipstick reflex got me wound
There were no defects to be found
Snapshot image froze without a sound

Thursday mornin' was a hot flash-factor
Her face still focused in my mind
Test-strip proof-sheet love is hard to find
Friday night, we'll dance the spotlight grind
Stop-time heart for me if she's not mine

Freeze-frame, freeze-frame, freeze-frame
Freeze-frame, now freeze

Now I'm lookin' at a flashback Sunday
Zoom lens feelings just won't disappear
Close-up darkroom sweet-talk in my ear
Her hot-spot love for me is strong
This freeze-frame moment can't be wrong

Freeze-frame, freeze-frame, freeze-frame
Freeze-frame, now freeze

Freeze-frame, freeze-frame, freeze-frame
Freeze-frame, now freeze

Freeze-frame, freeze-frame, freeze-frame
Freeze-frame, start to freeze, freeze, freeze

Start to freeze, freeze
Freeze-frame, freeze-frame, freeze-frame


16.Somebody

Lyricist:Seth Justman, Peter Wolf

I didn't take the warning
I really didn't care
I had already gone too far
To let them steal my share

So, like a fool I took 'em on
And as my anger cool
I realized I could take all mine
And skip off with theirs, too

I know I must be crazy
I'm bound to wake up dead

Somebody, somebody
Waitin' outside my back door
Somebody, somebody
Tryin' to even up the score

I figured I should lay real low
And stayed away from town
I covered up all my moves
So, it'd be hard to track me down

But I started gettin' shaky
And I paced around the floor
Hiding out all alone
I couldn't take much more

Just sitting 'round here waitin'
Is drivin' me up the wall

Somebody, somebody
Waitin' outside my back door
Somebody, somebody
Tryin' to even up the score

So, I called up my old friend Marlene
Who was lookin' for some fun
I got drunk and like a fool
I told her, what I'd done

I heard them knockin' at my door
They got to me at last
It don't take much to figure out
How they'd found me out so fast

And when I looked for my Marlene
I saw that she was gone

Somebody, somebody
Waitin' outside my back door
Somebody somebody
Tryin' to even up the score

Somebody, somebody
Waitin' outside my back door
Somebody, somebody
Tryin' to even up the score

Somebody, somebody
Waitin' outside my back door
Somebody, somebody
Tryin' to even up the score


17.No Anchovies, Please

Lyricist:S Justman, P Wolf

This is the story of a young couple in Portland, Maine

While waiting for her husband Don
To return home from work, she reaches for a can of anchovies
As she spreads the tiny fish across a piece of lettuce
She notices a small note at the bottom of the can
Written on it is a telephone number

Curious, she dials, and is told, 'Don't move, lady, we'll be
right over'
Placing the phone back on the hook, she turns
To see three smartly dressed men standing in her kitchen doorway
Before she realizes what is happening to her
She is rolled tightly in long sheets of cellophane
Transported to an international airport and placed on a waiting
jet-liner
All this being too much for her to comprehend, she passes out

Upon awakening, she finds herself in a strange, foreign speaking
nation
'Dalas nekcihc dna tihs nekcihc neewteb
Ecnereffid eht wonk ot suineg a ekat t'nseod ti'
Alone, fearing her escape impossible
She seeks comfort in the arms of a confidential agent

With the trace of her kiss still warm upon his lips
He betrays her to the hands of three scientists
Who are engaged in diabolical, avant-garde experiments
previously
Performed only on insects and other small, meaningless creatures
Using her as their subject, they are delighted with the results
For the first time, a human being is transformed into a, shh,
top secret

Meanwhile, back in Portland, Maine

Her husband Don, now chain-smoking 40 packs of cigarettes a day
Sits at a local bar and has a few beers with the regulars
Bored, everyone's attention turns to the television set
That just hangs from the wall, welcome to bowling for dollars

Suddenly, crazy Al says
'S-say, Don, there sure is something familiar about that bowling
ball'
To which the terrified Don replies
'Oh my God! That bowling ball, it's my wife!'

And the lesson we learn from this story is
Next time you place your order, don't forget to say, 'No
anchovies please'


18.Musta Got Lost

Lyricist:Seth Justman, Peter Wolf

Well, hold on this song has a little introduction to it
It ain't supposed to be sad though you might feel it that way
It's a song about desperation
Every now and then we do get desperate

This is a song about L O V E and if you abuse it you're gonn'
lose it
And if you lose it you're gonn' 'buse and if you 'buse it
You ain't gonn' be able to choose it
'Cuz you ain't gonn' have it further on down the line

Things ain't gonn' be so fine, you're gonn' to be sitting there
On your little machine tryin' to look and keep it clean
And you're going to be playin' bingo all night all alone
And that's why your sittin' there by the telephone
And you know that she aint goin to call you

So you put on the TV and you're watchin' Johnny Carson
Segueing right into the 'Tomorrow Show' but that don't got the
go
So you turn it off and turn on the radio
The radio don't' seem to get the click so you say
'Hey man, I can't lickety split'

You start to open up a little book
And there's somethin' there you got to overlook
And you say 'Baby, you know there's somethin' on my mind'
You say, 'Baby there's somethin' on my mind
I know that you're home and I know you ain't all alone'

So you start walkin' over to her house
You get over to her house, you walk over to her door
You start poundin' on her door and you say
'Open up the door bitch
This is Wooba Gooba with the green teeth, let me in'

Well, she opens up the door
And then you just kinda walk up to her and say, 'Baby'
You look up way up at her green mascara
And you say 'Oh my darlin', you know her and me
Was at the party as friends, do not believe what they say
That's only gossip that they tellin' you down the wise crack of
lies'

You say darlin', 'Take your big curls
And just squeeze 'em down Ratumba
What's the name of that chick with the long hair? Rapunzel
Hey Rapunzel, hey Reputa, hey Reputa, Reputa the Buta
Hey Reputa the Beautah flip me down your hair
And let me climb up the ladder of your love

Because this is the Wooba Gooba sayin' to ya
'Love comes once and when it comes
You better grab it fast 'cuz sometimes the love
You grab ain't gonn' last and I believe I musta
You know I think I musta, you know, baby, I think I musta
You know I think I musta, I musta got lost

Never thought about tomorrow
Seemed like a long time to come
How could I be so blind, baby
Not to see you were the one

I let you slip on from me, baby
I let you walk on by
Shoulda loved, you had told me
I refused to love, I let it die

Musta got lost, musta got lost, musta got lost
Somewhere down the line
Musta got lost, musta got lost
Give away the days you were mine

Don't know why I let you leave me
Honey, I don't know
See its hard to see lovin' comin', baby
Honey, I have a way to see it go

Musta got lost, musta got lost, musta got lost
Somewhere down the line
Musta got lost, I got lost
Give away the days you were mine

Love can be a sweet thing
Girl, I just don't understand
Made a game outta lovin' you
Now I hold a losin' hand

Oh, musta got lost, musta got lost, musta got lost
Somewhere down the line
Musta got lost, I got lost, girl
Give away the days you were mine

I just don't understand it
I just don't understand it
I just don't understand it

And I musta got lost, musta got lost, musta got lost
Somewhere down the line, hey
Musta got lost, baby, I got lost, girl
Give away the days you were mine

Musta got lost, I got lost, musta got lost
Somewhere down the line
Musta got lost, oh I got lost, girl
Give away the days you were mine

Come on, baby
Oh, I got lost, double crossed
Your lovin', give it to me all night long, give

I said your love got me higher
Than I ever been lifted before
I said your love got me higher
Than I ever been lifted before

Somewhere

22.Angel in Blue

Lyricist:S Justman, P Wolf

We met in a bar out on Chesapeake Bay
With her white patent boots and her blouse red lame
A table top dancer, she would smile on cue
Oh, those lips of an angel, angel in blue

She'd been dancin' for ages through cities of bars
She was kickin' the habit of scoring in cars
She'd been drained of her spirit all caged up in this zoo
A wild cat angel, angel in blue

And as she stared out into nowhere
I thought, yes, I thought, she might break down and cry
Oh, when I whispered I thought I could love her
She just said, 'Baby don't even bother to try'

And I watched as she spoke, her words chilled my bones
All her friends did her favors that were really just loans
And she never had dreams so they never came true
Oh, the palest of angels, angel in blue

And the bees they had stung her, the birds they had flown
There were guys she could number but none had she known
And she never had dreams so they never came true
Oh, my fade away angel, an angel in blue

Angel in blue
Angel in blue
Angel in blue
...


23.Wild Man

Lyricist:S Justman, P Wolf

I look out, you look in
You can't lose, I can't win
And I'm out
Screamin' at the moon again

I got fire in my brain
I got ice in my veins
And my mind is screwed up
Way beyond amends

I'm a wild man
I'm a child man
I'm a wild man
I'm screamin' at the borderline

I've been raped, I've been fried
I got nothing left to hide
When I'm out
Out in the cold again

Now I'm down on my knees
You're not suicide's tease
And I just cant bare
To see another dawn again

I'm a wild man
I'm a child man
I'm a wild man
Screamin' at the borderline
I'm a wild man
Screamin' at the borderline

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm a wild man
I'm a wild man
I'm a wild man
...


24.Rage in the Cage

Lyricist:Seth Justman, Peter Wolf

Shopping center crazy
I need some fast relief
The boss says, 'Boy, you're lazy'
But I'm just bored beyond belief
Laid off since last summer
Man, this really takes the cake
This town is like a prison
And I just got to make my break

They say 'Be cautious, little Mister
They shove it down your throat'
I'm 'bout to choke, I'm 'bout to choke
I'm nauseous, my transistor's 'bout the
Only antidote to keep my temperature
From runnin' wild
Let me hear that radio

There's a rage in the cage
There's a rage in the cage

Sweet Diana to the rescue
Hot potato to my aid
She's the girl with the swirl
Like air-conditioned lemonade
But the lady's on the hot-plate
Daddy's threatened to disown
Handcuffed tight in a chain of events
I guess I'm out here on my own

It don't take a P.H.D.
To know I'm goin' nowhere fast
I've got to move, I'm on the move
It don't take much to see
This town is livin' in the past
They all just seem to wanna tie me down
Let me hear that radio

There's a rage in the cage
There's a rage in the cage

I wanna rock it
I've got to rock it
I've gotta get me on that rocket ship to outa here
Watch out

This town is wearin' ear plugs
I'm of age and loose to juice
But they say, 'Stop, you better stop'
There's a fire in the furnace
Breakin' out and breakin' loose
You know I'm just about to lose my mind
They don't want me paralyzed
They just want me neutralized

Rage in the cage
There's a rage in the cage
There's a rage in the cage
There's a rage in the cage

There's a rage in the cage
There's a rage in the cage
There's a rage in the cage
There's a rage in the cage

Rage in the cage
(Hey now, hey now)
There's a rage in the cage
(Hey now, hey now)
There's a rage in the cage
(Ohh)
There's a rage in the cage
(Ohh)

There's a rage in the cage
There's a rage in the cage
There's a rage in the cage
There's a rage in the cage
There's a rage in the cage
There's a rage in the cage


25.Must of Got Lost (Single Edit)

Lyricist:Seth Justman, Peter Wolf

Never thought about tomorrow
Seemed like a long time to come
How could I be so blind, baby?
Not to see you were the one

I let you slip on from me, honey
I let you walk on by
I refused the love you had for me
I refused the love and let it die

I must of got lost, I must of got lost
I must of got lost somewhere down the line
I must of got lost, I must of got lost
Give away the days you're mine

Love can be a sweet thing
I just don't understand
I made a game of lovin' you
And now I hold the losing hand

So I must of got lost, I must of got lost
I must of got lost somewhere down the line
I must of got lost, I must of got lost
Give away the day that you were mine

I just can't understand it
I just can't understand it
I just don't understand it

And I must of got lost, I must of got lost
I must of got lost somewhere down the line
I must of got lost, I must of got lost
To give away the day you were mine

I must of got lost, I must of got lost
I must of got lost somewhere down the line
I must of got lost, I must of got lost
Give away the day, you were mine, oh yeah

Well, I must of got lost, I must of got lost
I must of got lost somewhere down the line


26.Where Did Our Love Go

Lyricist:Lamont Herbert Dozier, Brian Holland, Eddie Holland

Baby, baby, baby, don't leave me
Oh, don't leave me all by myself, yeah

I've got this yearning, burning, yearning feelin' inside me
Ooh, deep inside me, oh, and it hurts so bad

Ooh, baby, baby, where did our love go?
You don't want me, want me no more, yeah

You came into my heart with a burning love
Kept on hurtin' me, oh, so bad

Oh, baby, baby, where did our love go?
You don't want me, want me no more, baby

Baby, baby, where did our love go?
You don't want me, want me no more

Baby, baby, where did our love go?
You don't want me, want me no more


27.Insane, Insane Again

Lyricist:S Justman

Mad dog in the hallway and my head is filled with fire
Panic rules the moment with no mercy or desire
Ran across the blackened sand to get a soft ice cream
And now my mouth is burning crimson in a long and bloody dream
Sometimes I wonder 'bout these physical disorders
My only contact is with TV news distorters

Glancing over quickly at the words from brain to pen
All that I can tell you, I'm insane, insane again
Relax, relax, relax, relax, relax, relax

Puppets with directions they whisper in my ears
Circled stairs around me drip with long forgotten tears
Nothing done without a motive, proving they were smart
Every path they traced for me another kind of chart
Corporate Christie says it all the meeting is a-twist
My pulse is fading quickly you can feel it on my wrist

Glancing over quickly at the words from brain to pen
All that I can tell you, I'm insane, insane again
Relax, relax, relax, relax, relax, relax

I need some breathing room
I need some breathing room
I need some breathing room
I need some breathing room

Open fire, shell shock, knee jerk, lock step
Shrink rap, clap trap, mind bend, echo send
Chicken coop, drug soup, nerve food, solitude
Back track, meat rack, cardiac, yakety, yakety, yak

Breathing room, I need some breathing room
Relax, relax, relax, relax, relax, relax

Mama, won't you tell me please, please what is goin' on?
I have seen with madhouse vision
No conclusions can be drawn
My mind is inside out and all the clarity is gone

Glancing over quickly at the words from brain to pen
All that I can tell you, I'm insane, insane again
Bending over backwards in a rush to comprehend
Help me, help me, mama, I'm insane, insane again


28.(Ain't Nothin' but A) House Party

Lyricist:Carl Fisher, Joe Thomas

Yeah

They're dancing on the ceiling, they're dancing on the floor
People everywhere coming through the door
They know there's a party going on
Through the dance and romance all night long

I know it's cold outside
Come on baby, I'll keep you satisfied
All you got to do is move
Every time you steal that groove

It ain't nothing but a party
It ain't nothing but a party
It ain't nothing but a party, baby
It ain't nothing but a house party

Come on baby dig that crazy soul
I know you're gonna lose control
You can do the boogaloo
Anything that you want to

I know it's cold outside
Come on baby, I'll keep you satisfied
All you got to do is move
Every time you steal that groove

It ain't nothing but a party
It ain't nothing but a party
It ain't nothing but a party, baby
It ain't nothing but a house party
Yeah c'mon, yeah
I know baby

I know it's cold outside
Come on baby, I'll keep you satisfied
All you got to do is move
Every time you steal that groove

It ain't nothing but a party
It ain't nothing but a party
It ain't nothing but a party, baby
It ain't nothing but a house party

I said move it, groove it
Baby, don't you lose it
I said, roll is, stroll it
Baby, don't control it

It ain't nothing but a party baby
It ain't nothing but a party baby
It ain't nothing but a party baby
It ain't nothing but a house party

It ain't nothing but a party
It ain't nothing but a party
It ain't nothing but a party
It ain't nothing but a party

It ain't nothing but a party
It ain't nothing but a party
It ain't nothing but a party
Comes in the body

It ain't nothing but a party
It ain't nothing but a party
Comes in the body
...


29.Surrender

Lyricist:Justman Seth, Wolf Peter

Could it be mind over matter?
Or maybe you just can't see
Listen, well, I don't know just what it is
But you sure got a hold on me

Could it be that you're mistaken?
How do you know for sure?
I've been pleased, teased
Baby, I've been squeezed
But never like this before

My lovin' don't come easy
My lovin' don't come cheap

Surrender
Give up your heart
Surrender
Don't take my heart

So you say that you want me, darling
Well, I heard that time after time
I might never get your sweet, sweet love
But that ain't gonna stop me from tryin'

You say that you really want me
But how much are you willing to pay?

Surrender
Give up your heart
Surrender
Don't take my heart

Ooh, come on, baby
Tell me how you feel
Come on, baby
My love for you is real

Maybe you just wanna hurt me
And don't fall in love too deep

Surrender
Give me your heart
Surrender
Don't take my heart

Surrender
Give up your heart
Surrender
Don't take my heart
Surrender

Surrender
Give up your heart
Surrender
Don't take my heart
Surrender

Surrender
Give up your heart
Surrender
Don't take my heart
Surrender

Surrender, oh, baby, baby, baby oh
