Third Strike

White Flag Third Strike Lyrics
1.Psycho Cop

Here he comes on a midnight ride
All in steel electraglide
All in black on an evil steed
Sword in hand can make you bleed

Chrome and glass a nightmare machine
Holding back reflects all he's seen
Riding fast with a wicked stride
To face the knight is suicide

Black knight-legend of the past
Black knight-watch out where the shadow's cast
Black knight-scream for vengeance, rant and rave
But you're not in control
You're a slave

Sun and steel, reflecting sheen
Moving target, flashing mean
Take his fist to break down walls
Waiting for the siren's calls

Dignity and knightly pride
In sixteen inches by his side
Swings his sword into the sky
A knight goes down, someone must die


Face down on the freeway bank
Partner's gun is in your back
Where is all that knightly pride?
See your future in blue lights flash


2.Flipside

Gotta brand new thing that's sweepin' the nation
A new improved video sensation
Gives you everything that you'll ever need
A fanzine for people who don't even know how to read

Now there's something worthwhile on t.v.
Unplug that cable put on channel three
Get the vcr you can hardly wait
To sit back on the couch get ready to vegetate


Forget about the world and impending doom
Every band you've wanted's in your living room
Got the Flipside video it's wild as can be
Forget the VJ's and turn off MTV


3.Cross Dogs

Being a star's like being a junkie
You ain't got the needle but you
still have the monkey
Living your life from show to show
If it's day or night you don't even know

Friends ask why you do it
X-friends think that you blew it
They don't think you have a care
They don't know what it's like up there

Star crossed, you lose
Star crossed, you chose
Star crossed, make me a star
Star crossed, fall down in a bar

Have to take drugs to get up or down
No mind control, be pushed around
I can't believe this state I'm in
Could life be clear through a bottle of gin?


4.Celebate

I tried my hand at love once
All the pieces didn't fit
So I gave it all up
Traded it for a fix it kit
You trapped me with your starry eyes
Coaxed me with your thunder thighs
Can't you see I'm just a priest
Not gonna be your piece of meat


I just joined a momestary
Parents think that I'm a fairy
I'm not worried what they think
They don't know that love's a jinx
I tried my hand at love once
All the pieces didn't fit
So I gave it all up
Traded it for a fix it kit
