ADAM WEST
"God's Gift to Women"
Devilishly Handsome
I'm a two-tub man and there's nothing you can do about it
I'm a three-time freak and there's nothing you can say to doubt it
I can go for broke while the walls come tumbling down
And I can have a smoke while the girl starts going to town
I'm a pistol man and there's nothing you can say to move me
I'm a full-time rock and there's nothing you can do but choose me
I can raise the sail until the last wind's tuckered out
And I can 'round the world until the north pole meets the south
Lord I'm a handsome man
And I live my life the only way I can
Good lord I'm a handsome man
It'd do you good to follow my master plan
Trying to Be a Man in a Woman's World
I've had crazy feelings since things went bad
They've taken over everything we had
I know she feels it cuz I feel it too
And I know this baby talk's gonna break her heart in two
Well it's worked before
So why the hell did it fail?
Cuz they never understand
That I'm trying to be a man in a woman's world
The amazons here keep us in line
They keep us docile but they look so fine
I know my muscles make her uptight
But I know this baby talk's gonna make her feel alright
Well it's worked before
So why the fuck did it fail?
This planet's theirs, boy
This I know is true
They'll let you visit
But it'll never belong to you
I do the best I can each and every day
But it feels like I'm living in a YWCA
Gets Me Off
Raw power in the middle of the night
You're dirty talking and I'm feeling alright
Full throttle and I'm ready to go
Come up and see me
Down with the tights and off with the dress
Never sleeping never get any rest
They think I'm sleazy cuz I get excited
It was so easy to be here invited
And it gets me off everytime
Brown, blonde, red . . . I don't care
It doesn't matter when I'm stroking her hair
Short skirt and the go-go boots
That small image is enough and I'm ready to shoot
Sexual addiction
Got a monkey on my back
Got you in my sights now
Attack!
Wishbone
I threw a party and everybody came around
Then I got to thinking who was gonna keep me down
You started talking and talked yourself outta breath
I had a mind to take you . . . take you out to your death
Hey hey don't say you'll stick around for another day
Hey hey don't say we'll work it out in another way
I got everybody around in a talk circle
You kept on blabbing about everything but the girl
I pulled out a wishbone and said, "Make a wish . . . make a bet"
I got the bigger half yeah now I want you to eject away
I want away from you
Second Sight
Why are you running away on such a sunny day?
Why are you living alone?
You're scared down to the bone
Did you enjoy your stay?
A hefty price to pay
I had to give you a sign cuz you were so outta line
I've got the whole rest of my life to do it
I've got the gift of second sight to see through it
I know I've never been so high then you blew it
I've got the whole rest of my life to do it
All I've got is a busy dialtone
All I've wrought is the least of what you've sown
You were the one that watched the sinking stone
One plus one never meant you'd be alone
Eye to Eye
I know the things that you're thinking
And I know them all very well
While you watch the burning ship sinking
And I'll have it all to tell
Gonna leave it to you
One two three were the things that I wanted
And books of empty verse were the things that I got
How can you wonder why I feel disgruntled?
After all those years to be left with naught
When do you think enough's enough?
You can't spread love with a cough
Eye to eye and failure comes my way
Seems I've been let down another day
Eye to eye when all is said and done
Where were you when I was on my own?
There a Bimboo Under My Bed
I went down to Helsinki City
That's where I met a little woman and she sure was looking fine
She said, "Hello, I'm an Ultra Bimboo.
I lost my bag in the lobby and I sure need to spend the night."
Now I've got her alone in my room
The morning always comes too soon
There's a Bimboo under my bed
She's cutting loose now . . . She's outta her head
But I loved her right from the start
She stole my American heart
She stole my American heart
I said, "Hey, baby, what's your pleasure?"
She said, "I like it under here and I'll soon drift off to sleep."
I said, "Yeah? But how about some leisure?"
She said, "I like it under here cuz I won't get in too deep."
There's a ring . . . It's the hotel lobby
"Sir, you've got a young Finnish woman in your room and is all alright?"
I said, "Sure, but I'm a little hungry.
Send up a 3-piece dinner and we'll all just call it a night."
God's Gift to Women
They call me god's gift to women
And I think it's well-deserved
You can't question all my abilities
Until you've had your turn
There's no stopping when I'm in your head
And no time to make my bed
No fast love in the lavatory when you hook up with me
They call me god's gift to women
And I come from pedigree
You'll only find golden apples
Hanging on my family tree
Good god I can hear you humming
While you climb that mountain peak
Good god I can feel you strumming
I know what you seek
Good god I can see you rising
The pressure's building up inside your head
Good god I can feel you writhing
Cuz you're jacked like a VU meter in the red
Hotsy Totsy
Well I never got down with this thing called love
And I never saw the light from the blessed above
You're always on the phone when I come your way
But you're knocking me out every single day
Well I never got hyped up in seconds flat
And I never got a chance to swing my bat
Making me climb to the top of the pile
Yeah you're shaking that thang like it's goin' outta style
Hotsy Totsy
Are you gonna lose it?
Hotsy Totsy
Aww, don't let me go
Well I never knew lightning could've struck like that
And I never knew traffic would've stopped so fast
Swinging those hips from left to right
You're pushing it two steps past outtasight
The Future's on My Side
I've got tomorrow
And you can try
I've got tomorrow
And I'll pass you by
You wanna please me
You wanna tease me
You've gotta stomp me into the ground
You're still hoping to push the dope in
And expect me to not make a fucking sound
I've got tomorrow
You can try but you're never gonna get it
I've got tomorrow
You can try but you won't upset it
You deal in sorrow
Good-bye and don't try to follow
Cuz I've got tomorrow
And you're stuck today
You wanna hold me
You wanna scold me
You wanna stop and start from scratch
Well I'm no dummy
You've taken from me
And now you've found your fucking match
The future's on my side
And you can't stop me
The future's on my side
Don't try to drop me
"C'mon and join the ride"
That's what I hear you say
As I pass another day
Center Stage
I know you're coming
I've got it all laid out for you
(Always on your own)
Undivided attention
I see you only yes it's true
(Never be alone)
But when I walk into a room
I've gotta be all the rage
I've gotta be center stage
Come a little closer
This time I'll leave it all behind
(Always on your own)
Awww you can trust me
How could I lie to you with a smile?
(Never be alone)
But when I walk into a room
I can't feel the praise too soon
And then I break out of my cage
I've gotta be all the rage
I've gotta be center stage
The Floozy
Ever wake up early in the morning and you didn't know which bed you're in?
Then you go to work trying to make a living and trying to avoid a sin
Well this chick's for you, bub
She revs you up
She gets you so overloaded that you think you'd fill the Stanley Cup
Oh yeah I want that floozy again
Cuz she's rocking it out the best she can
Oh yeah I need that floozy again
Cuz she makes me feel like a younger man
Ever look down right in the middle and you think you're giving it your all?
Then you try to do a fast maneuver and it ends up all over the wall
Well this girl is precious
She never fails
She's got me so unbalanced that I can't tell heads from tails
Morg or Eymorg?
You have to ask?
Hey trekkie, get up off your ass!
In the Back of My Hearse (lo-fi)
I move on up and I move on down
I'll move you all around this town
But I always cum first in the back of my hearse
Pick up the phone when you're alone
I'm on my way to pluck the seeds I've sown
I'll make you shake and I'll make you quake
I'll keep you up so long for goodness sake
But I always cum first in the back of my hearse
Gonna make you move
Gonna make you groove
The sinbin's always on the move
Got loving style
That extra mile
I'll leave you satisfied and with a smile
But I always cum first in the back of my hearse
"Right On!"
C'mon and Bludgeon Me
Here we go another Friday night
Gotta see if my man's in sight
Gonna stick that shit inside my brain
And it always makes me go insane
C'mon and bludgeon me
I wake up and then it's Saturday night
And my future's looking oh so bright
Yeah I'm gonna bring the hammer down
And beat myself into the ground
I get wild every single night if it falls into my hands
I get high with the dregs of the earth
It always makes me feel like a man
Cut Loose
Got love in the early morning
Got love in the noontime day
Got love real late in the evening
Right here
Right now
When the dress goes down I start to play
Cut loose by the dawn of sunlight
Cut loose in the lunchtime break
Cut loose as your door is locked tight
Right here
Right now
When the dress comes off I start to play
Right here Right now
When the dress comes off I make my stand
Right here Right now
C\325mon
Right here Right now
Your every wish is my command
Right here Right now
Right on!
Blueblood
I caught you stealing
And double-dealing
And now you're running away
Your family's falling
I hear them calling
And now they leave you astray
You think your blueblood will save you now
You think you're royal like a sacred cow
Well I got news that you won't wanna hear
You're fucked that's clear
Your family's stalling
You sit there bawling
And now you're going to pay
Swagger
You got a symptom?
I got the remedy
You got a hang-up?
Lawd, I'm gonna set you free
I got a swagger
Top-notch love for you
I sting and stagger
You want a reptile?
I'll give you dinosaur
You want a smorgasbord?
Oh yeah I'll give you more
You wanna save face?
I think it's much too late
You know I'm savvy
My every touch will seal your fate
If it's always groovy
You know you gotta do it
Will you do it?
C'mon and do it
Hot Chocolate
You're deep inside me
You never let me be
I've gotta do this
I've gotta be free
I'm down for a taste of hot chocolate
Feelings that I've never ever felt before
God, that chick always really makes me see the light
And I've wasted so much time
Why did you leave me all alone?
I'm the one who's waiting here by the phone
Please, my baby, won't you come and set me free?
You gotta come and rescue me
And I've wasted so much time
Not fucking you
Flower, Fist and Bestial Wail
Well I can't see the world as it looks from here
But I got three things floating around in my beer
That's flower, fist and bestial wail
Well I can't see the world as it looks from here
I got three things in my heart busting fear
I got seven miles of alabaster
That'll knock you off your feet
I'm gonna break your plaster caster
And leave you with a party treat
That's flower, fist and bestial wail
You wanted something
And I got it all
Too bad you never answered my call
Piece of Ass
I'm heading down to sin city
That's where I feel so free
Drink turpentine
I drink the liquor
It washes over me
And with a swig of snow I got the stars spinning in my head
Now I'm going down into the underground
I always follow where I'm lead
and there's a piece of ass
North and south . . . Karolinah
you know she's looking good
I see her down at Salt and Peppar
I always knew she would
Juggernaut
All through time I've been a menace
Smashing it down when it comes to you
Breaking your heart by the early morning
Leaving you bare as I plow on through
All through time I've been respected
Force to be reckoned with, feared and loved
Demolition is my business
Your life crumbles down from the blow from above
Can you hear the tribe drumming?
Better hold all my calls
Cuz it heralds my coming
As I'm knocking down walls
Gentlemen's Evening
It's a gentlemen's evening, baby
That's why we're sticking around
Lord Pounder is mixing the drinks
Markus is out bringing Connie to town
We've got the best here
The finest squad of the rock elite
So kick your shoes off
And make a toast to the Swedish beat
And the music's getting faster
And the air's just full of laughter
Where are all the chicks we're after?
It's a gentlemen's evening, baby
Dave C. made a Swedish girl cry
Nicke B. just used my towel
That rag will never get dry
Bobby Lee just licked some paper
We think that's oh so sad
But it's a gentlemen's evening, baby
The best times a man can have
You wanted to come here
But you've been in town way too long
You wanted to fit in
You'll know why when you hear this song
We'd like to help you
But you better get back to Chuck's room
Cuz it's a gentlemen's evening
And here comes the sonic boom
We're gentlemen . . . yeah!
Fire In My Bones
You're running faster
Away from me
You've got it coming
And I'm all for free
If you follow me down into a pit of love
I've got a backbeat breaking to the sound of a drum all day
That's what I say
If you follow me down into a pit of love
I got a six pack chilling in the fridge under my bed
I've got a fire
Down in my bones
Can't you feel it burning?
They call it stalking
I call it charm
You never looked better
Than hanging on my arm
What do you want from me?
You're asking constantly
You'll never get away from me
No way
Shield Your Eyes
You wanna see me
You've gotta come around
And I know you're talking
About me all around this town
And I know you're thinking
That I'm coming on too strong
You've gotta realize
That I've got it goin' on
But you had to turn away
When I walked into the room
Had to shield your eyes
I've got the best in me
And I know you're thinking
I move electrically
And I'm truly feeling
That I'm coming on too strong
I had to walk to run
To have it goin' on
Sultry Motherfucker
I'm right there when you pick up the phone
I'm right here when you're sleeping alone
You can't hear what I'm trying to say
You're gonna fall for me anyway
I'm right there when you walk down the street
I'm on the face of every guy you meet
Got made when I was twenty-one
Left town with a stash and gun
You can't hear what I'm trying to say
You're gonna fall for me anyway
Hot child in the city tonight
I'm looking good and I'm loving right
You've had it rough
And I'm hanging tough
I've got some things I need to show
And satisfied?
I'll be your guide
I've got the means to make you go
I'm right there when you walk down the street
I'm on the face of every guy you meet
You can't hear what I'm trying to say
You're gonna fall for me anyway
I'm right there when you pick up the phone
I'm right here when you're sleeping alone
You can't hear what I'm trying to say
But I'm a sultry motherfucker and I'm coming your way
Erotic Neurotic
"13 de luxe"
Platinum
i keep the fires burning
i keep the world alive
i keep the sky from falling
i keep your heart from stalling
i see your body trembling
when the cold has gripped you deep inside
and i'm sure that
my platinum voice won't leave a choice
and i'm sure that
you'll live to rue the day
when you had to say . . .
i do my best to save her from the truth
and i do my best to save her from herself
i keep the sea from churning
i keep the wind on high
i keep the earth from turning
i keep the young hearts yearning
i see your head is shaking
when you find your request has been denied
.357
living on the street like a punk
and i sell my soul just to get that junk
while the cops beat down on my head
i keep it to myself but i gotta keep pushing
.357 right to my head
pull that trigger and then i'm dead
living on the street in a box
and i run like hell from the threat of the cops
while my walls come tumbling down
i keep on trying to
push push struggle
i said i'd be the one
i swear i'll be the one
Vanilla
a face like an angel
a face that won't leave me alone
you bust through the line
and you check me
when i'm on the phone
everybody tries to steer my way
never listen to a word i say
but you never saw blue
you never saw red
if is stay then i'm gone
and i'll end up dead
i never was lonely
i never had trouble with love
then you came along
and your ass
was as white as a dove
everybody tries to steer my way
never listen to a word i say
but you never saw at all
it never seemed right
if is stay then i'm gone
end up in black and white
i never was lonely
and never unlucky in love
then you came along
and your ass
was as white as a dove
Something Wicked
i tried to fight the boredom
i fought the best i could
i hated everything around me
and it never brought me any good
so i crawled into a hole
i got tossed around
it turned my highs to lows
i crawled into a hole
i got kicked around
it turned my highs to lows
i got a funny feeling
and then i tried to turn away
but the sun shone bright
it burned my eye
and left me with nothing to say
she always tried to show me
tried to take me by the hand
but i never wanted to look inside
never tried to understand
but now i see it
something wicked coming my way
my life spun around me
as i looked about the place
it wore me out
it bled me dry
as lines drew down my face
Doomsday
when you hit me
with those lies
and you left me
by the side
of the road
by which you said goodbye
i felt guilty deep inside
I was empty from the ride
and i vowed to make
you pay for your crime
it's your doomsday
can't you feel the fire
coming down from the sky above
can't you feel the fire
raining down from the clouds above
when i walk
and talk in time
and i stroll right
down the line
and i've got to take your word
at face
there was only you and me
there was only what i see
i was left with only this disgrace
gotta hold it
where it stands
gotta hold it
in my hands
gotta hold it
till i've got
the sky
cuz you never
knew my name
but you sure did
have a game
now i'm solo
and my hopes
are dry
wanna know why?
cuz you never
knew my name
but you sure did
have a game
now i'm gonna
send you on your way
it's your doomsday
Charm
i live with the snakes
and lizards and ugly
things that go bump
in the night
why should i wonder?
when everyone is to blame
i feel the charm
drip outta me
and leave me standing
here in the rain
thigh-highs and
sugar daddies
are the only things
that get me off
in the night
why should i bother?
when everything's so insane
i feel the charm
drip outta me
it never leaves me
playing the game
and i say
who's to blame?
i try to walk forward
but i fall back down again
two to one were
the odds that i chose
but i was left
in the dirt
by the gods up above
why should i grovel?
when everyone drinks champagne
i feel the charm
drip outta me
it never leaves me
playing the game
so i say
who¹s to blame?
i'm walking to the left
then the right
then i fall back down again
and i hope that i swerve
i'll be straightening
to my feet
and i know that if you go
you'll be coming
right back to me
Bounty Hunter *
he was a hero to some
and a villain to others
and wherever he rode
people spoke his name in whispers
and he's always dogging my trail
this man of fire
mark of the demon will never fail
this gun for hire
the shroud is coming down over me
he had no friends
but he did have two companions
one death itself
and the other the acrid smell of gunsmoke
Done Me Wrong
all i know
is i'm left with nothing
and why do i look
like i stepped in something?
i feel like a victim of conscription
5, 4, 3, 2, 1, ignition
blast off
right from the start
you done me wrong
i should have seen
you comin' on
right from the start
you done me wrong
and i never should have stayed
i should have split
i should have gone
yeah i never should have stayed
(Come Up To The) Penthouse
lightning struck you twice
hey, you never took my advice
pandora's box you've opened up
now you're gonna have to pay the price
come up to the penthouse
and i'll make you feel alright
come up to the penthouse
and it's gonna be outta sight
how are you gonna know
when the clock strikes twelve
and it's time for you to go?
what are you gonna say
when i slap you down
and slowly walk away?
i'm not like all the rest
i've aced every fucking test
just climb the stairs to the 24th floor
cuz PHQ's the best
how are you gonna know
when the clock tick tocks
and it's time for you to go?
what are you gonna say
when i take your love
and slowly walk away?
Break Down The Wall
if i start shaking
it's because of you
if you think i'm faking
i'll be sad and blue
i hear your warning
i hear your words
i'll soon be calling
but now you're running
and there you go
and i hope that you know
what you do to me
when you fake it
and i think that you know
that your lunacy drives me crazy
break down the wall
and let me in
if i start to shiver
from below the waist
lay down and quiver
don't hesitate
i never wanted
to lose my way
but i got a feeling
stretching to the ceiling
and there you go
Fear For My Life
looking forward down the path
i see my own demise
it scares me to death
i fall short of breath
can hardly believe my eyes
before my barren eyes
but i hold it inside
cuz i fear for my life every day
walking forward
moving slowly
trying to find my way back to you
walking forward
going nowhere
never knowing what to do
while the world just slips away
and i'm thrown into the fray
looking over my shoulder last nite
the shadows whiz by my head
i fall out of step
i'm losing my grip
my body sinks down like lead
my fright turns into dread
For All I Care
what will you do if i am strong enough?
what will you say when it's all gone?
half my life i've been in love with you
and all that time you've kept me down
you say i'm gone and then you run to me
but heaven knows i won't be there
for all i care
how will i know if i am strong enough?
you said my love was like a switch
what will you do if i am strong enough?
what will you say when it's all gone?
you left me spinning now i'm lying here
too bad you left my switch to on
13

"Mondo Royale"
Pocket
hey, i like this spark between us
and i say, i like you where you are
and i like this sunny day
and like the way we play
and i like it when you say
i've gotta reach on down inside my pocket
whoah, what's inside my head
whoah, like words i've never said
whoah, down inside my soul
whaoh, but my heart is gold
hey, i'm always close to danger
and i say, i wear it like a coat
and you like the way i gloat
everytime i read your note
and you like it when the waves caress you
knock you down as they undress you
Vodka Tonic Blues
when i walk i won't see you there
i can't feel my legs i can't feel you near
got the world locked up in a little ball
never been so blind not to see you fall
i got the world i got the prize
my glass is empty but i've still got the ice
i don't need to run
i don't need to hide
i can read your thoughts but i don't know why
so come and tell me
and i feel it, too, my love
you speak to me you speak out loud
your lips will move and tell the promise you vowed
i ain't got no glass
i ain't got no ice
i can breathe again looking into your eyes
so come and save me
come unto me
Unclean
unclean when i look in the mirror
scowl falls when i turn away
unclean when you're getting nearer
running fast till the break of day
she follows me wherever i go
black cloak flowing and stars to show
where to find her i'll never know
i'm left unwashed and alone
unclean when i drink from the fountain
black acid burns me up from within
dirt all over me alright
it never washes away
dirt all over me tonight
why can't i ever escape?
Electrified
got a picture on my wall autographed by you
you wrote a little epithet that never rang quite true
don't go astray
cuz i'm on it
don't let it sway
cuz i'm on it
twenty dollars in my wallet can take me to the stars
i feel you permeate my skin and leave me full of scars
you can't purify me
you can't feel my pain
you can't purify me
you don't feel my pain
feel my pain
white lightning in my blood - rapture to the end
white heat just burns me up like a loving friend
6 and 6 Is
6 and 6 is 13
believe me every word i mean
sweet young thing from down the lane
five more minutes and you'll feel the same
i'm begging you to stay
but everytime you drive away
when all i'm trying to do is say
hello
8 and 8 is 17
disco and my beauty queen
two great tastes that never fail
five more minutes and i'll be back in jail
Rocks Will Fall
slide over here
over where i can see your face
slide over here
over where i can find a trace
wind in my hair
makes me feel like i'm going somewhere
wind in my hair
on my back heralds secret attacks
dark comes again
just 'round the bend
covers your head
and it's real
of all thngs to say
i'm on my way
shake you all day
flies on the wall
rocks will fall down to block my way
flies on the wall
rocks will fall down to cancel my stay
Woke Up on the Ceiling
woke up on the ceiling
had it all twisted around in my head
it all looked pretty hazy
then i looked at the back of my hand
she thought that i was faking
well i showed her how to feel
Speedbump
drag racing just the other day
you waved the flag at me and made me pay
you said i'd never ever make you stay
now it looks like i'll get my way
there are no seatbelts in my van
and no speedbumps
come catch me if you can
shag carpet on walls and floor
a stocked wet-bar by the cattle door
high-octane cocktail make you roll and more
and that's not all that i have in store
curtis mayfield pushing "pusherman"
isaac hayes is waiting in the can
your gams are up and spinning like a fan
as we cross into the promised land
Haunted
wanna see me cry
wanna see me crying
wanna see me crying out
till i'm left with a heart that's dry
do i have to try
do i keep on trying
do i try to get it back
to thoughts that passed me by
cuz everything you wanted left me misery
and everything you wanted left me up a tree
you think that i'm undaunted
forever ever haunted by your memory
with a roll of the dice
my degree is changing
i watch it change and rearrange
as my world goes rolling by
did you see me cry
did you see me crying
did you hear me calling out
when i left you all alone
did i do it clean or have i been too tidy
have i gone beyond that point-
i'll never get back home
Wrong-way Ronnie
mainline's down so you gotta go through your nose
spiked your arm and you've even spiked between your toes
spilled your stash so you snort the shit off the floor
can't pay the man so he'll knock your ass around some more
say what you're gonna say
it doesn't matter any way
always go the wrong way
always go the wrong way
wrong-way ronnie won't live another day
buried your girlfriend buried her six feet down
you got her hooked then you watched her fall asleep and drown
had to bail cuz the cops were knocking on your door
twenty-eight years and you're nothing but a junkie whore
Upside Down
all my life is in the past
i reflect but it can't last
she walked out forever more
lock me nail shut the door
upside down is where i'm at
too confused to go to bat
left me here within these walls
left me here without a pause
when i'm upside down
here i am i'm all alone
here i sit upon my throne
lonely king no subjects here
was i right i'll always fear
