LIVING EYES
HANGIN ON
Shelter is collapsing all around my head
Five more minutes we can all be dead
We tried too hard and we went too far
Now the night is closing in
Closin' in Closin' in Closin' in
Reptile shadows waiting for us outside
Understand it's just a matter of time
Our brothers' blood mixed on the floor
Darkness closin' in
Closin' in Closin' in Closin' in
Sky's all ripped and the sun's insane
Ground is burning our house is flamed
Our flag is gone spirit hanging on
But the night is closin' in
Hangin' on

BURN MY EYE 78
Kenworth rolling upside my head
88 spitting out burning lead
Had to get myself right out of town
Don't wanna see skulls flyin' around
Burn my eye
Burn my mind
Couldn't beleive it
I'm not lying - no
Quadra-jet carb and a shaker scoop
SD baby take a ride with you
Tuned hooker headers sure sounds fine
I'm burning rubber and I'm making time
Burn my eye
Burn my mind
Couldn't beleive it
I ain't lying - yeah
Burning hole in the nor nor west
Fist against tank in Budapest
Pyramid eye cruising US1
Planets circling round sinking sun
Burn my heart
Burn my eye
Couldn't beleive it
I ain't lying - no
TIME TO FALL
Woke up alone,I ain't got nothin' to lose
Over at your house,nothin' on nothin' to do
Take the back off the T.V,circuits there for you
Run dry fingers between the dusty tubes
You try to forget it and once again you'll see
A man from the east is gonna have to leave
The tubes glow and then they come alive
The tubes glow across a million miles
You try to get away but they turn on the heat
First you burn and then you're gonna freeze forever
But I will not give,I will not give,I will not give in for them
Oh no
Abandoned by men they lived and died
Alone half dead and crazy left behind
Sun's all dying up in darkened skies
Land of truth,land of eternal ice
You know the living eyes are still up there
They watch forever with endless frozen stares
And you ask me why I'm not hanging round
My heart is lying up on Arctic ground
You try to get away but they turn on the heat
First you burn and then you're gonna freeze forever
But I will not give,I will not give,
I will not give in
For them Oh no
SMITH & WESSON BLUES
I went downtown
For something to do
Couldn't find nothing,said I
Couldn't find nothing to do
I was hanging round in bars
I was wasting time
Your face made my past
Look like a lousy dime
Cos you're never alone with a Smith & Wesson baby
You're never alone when you come round here
Wild kinetic rivers of sorrow
Riding to hell on rails of fear
Sitting in restaurant
Waiting for 6 A.M
The waitress was rough
And the milk was skim
Sunlight blasting throgh the window
Nearly drove me blind
Just like the light
On the front of that 12.05
Cos you're never alone with a Smith & Wesson baby
You're never alone when you come round here
Wild kinetic rivers of sorrow
Riding to hell on rails of fear
Night eyes shining
Like Valparaiso street lights
Wasted dogs were hanging round the dawn
Visions fading down
The streets of science
Lizard king is
Leading me on
Cos you're never alone with a Smith & Wesson baby
You're never alone when you come round here
Wild kinetic rivers of sorrow
Riding to hell on rails of fear
CRYING SUN
Strange proliferations growing like the trees on the groung
Crazed abberations blowing like the snow all around
Sun up in the sky is crying and it just won't quit
Sun seen to much and it's seen a good man get hit
And it's a cry,cry,cryin' sun
Cryin' ten million years
Cry,cry,cryin' sun
Raining ten million tears
Theatre of cruelty,fish and a giant bird
Lizard man songs of glory like you never have heard
Styphane Sist says it's coming out of the nor nor west
Man with the wry smile says he intends to do the rest
And it's a cry,cry,cryin' sun
Cryin' ten million years
Cry,cry,cryin' sun
Raining ten million tears
IF I WANTED TO
Sometimes I feel I can kick them all in the teeth
Girls on the street they take a glance an turn away from me
They're afraid my eyes will penetrate their minds
And if it happens I know I could make them mine
If I wanted to
If I wanted to
Girl you know it's true
If I wanted to
They plot and scheme thinking ways to bring you to your knees
Afraid to face the fact they'll never be as good as me
They talked about me when they was trading lies
But now they smile and try to make love with their eyes
But it ain't true
No it ain't true
Don't let them lie to you
Cause they'll hurt you
Ah C'mon
If I wanted to
And I don't want to
Girl you know it's true
Girl I don't need you
BREAKS MY HEART
Did she forget to write or she just had nothing to say
Did she forget you is this a whole new age
Three years was like forever deep in exile
Three months was just one day
It breaks my heart
When I remember that cruel night
Rain falling down on the street outside
And where you are it's nighttime
I hope it keeps raining all day long
Cos misery is mine
It breaks my heart
When I remember that cruel night
Cross of iron,spirit within remembers
40 below in mid December
Radio disc looking up to the sky
Trying to understand the unknown sender
It breaks my heart
When I remember that cruel night
I still love you
MORE FUN
More Fun/You know it's too damn cool
More Fun/I'm comin' over after school
More Fun/all of the other girls
More Fun/and I'm shootin' the curl
We're gonna have a ball
Do anything at all
It's gonna be so fine
It's borderline
More Fun/I'm drivin' in my 'chine
More Fun/you shoulda heard just what I seen
More Fun/you know she is a doll
More Fun/she'll never be my all
We're gonna have a ball
Do anything at all
It's gonna be so fine
It's borderline
ALONE IN THE ENDZONE
Alone over burning desert sands
Got living eye right in my hand
One last chance to get to the end
Locked on target gonna bring it in
All alone,all alone,all alone
I'm in the endzone
Last one alive out of all my men
Never see any of them again
Not enough fuel to make it back home
I'm gonna be alone in the endzone
All alone,all alone,all alone
I'm in the endzone
DIDN'T TELL THE MAN
I saw your picture in a magazine
Your talking about the places that you'd been
With some other guy that I know
You left me all alone
You didn't tell the man
I gave you money I gave you everything
When I tried to touch you you started such a scene
Then there was that note on your door
It said you weren't there no more
You didn't tell the man
You kill me
You kill me
With your wicked smile and the way you can get me to do
Anything you want me to
You didn't tell the man
Breaking up my heart girl burning out my eyes
Looking at your picture telling all those lies
There's a thing or two you'd agree
You'd say if it was me
You didn't tell the man
DARK SURPRISE
Stay awake for days
And I start to see through the haze
Stay alive everytime and I got no time to waste
Stay alone in the city
Cause I get around better that way
The eyes narrowed down
Behind Saigon Mirror shades
Reflect the death of the sun
And nothing more to say
Drowned in blood radiation
As it fades and seeps away
The night is comin'
And it's filled with Dark Surprise
Nights all oozin
Like oil in the neon sky
Tonight's the one
We've waited all our lives
RADIO BIRDMAN - "RADIOS APPEAR"
MURDER CITY NIGHTS
Moving to the sound of the midnite masses
Fighting off terminal seventies stasis
Cruising down Woodward gotta find me some action
Looking for a lover with a power reaction
Murder city nights, oh yeah
Murder city nights, oh yeah
Murder city nights, all right
Hanging on the edge of my self control
Looking in the mirror for the highway patrol
My brain is wired down to my hand
Gotta keep movin' 'cos I know I'm a man
Murder city nights, oh yeah
Murder city nights, oh yeah
Murder city nights, all right
ANGLO GIRL DESIRE
When you're walking down the street
You never know I'm around
But I am there and I'm watching
Everywhere you go
I'm the eye from outer space
And my hand is on your life
Your eyes reflect reflections
Of fires burning in my heart
Hey Dog
At night you hear my screams
From my distant lonely world
You feel my eyes touch yours
So lightly now
You can't be there where I am
Cos I'm there all by myself
Location 999
End of the night
Hey girl I watched you dancing
To the rocking bands
I have seen you do the Pop
And the moving change
You will never be the same
When your eyes meet mine
I'll be ready to show you
What You need to live
MAN WITH GOLDEN HELMET
Man with Golden Helmet
Drinks water from the faucet
Man with Golden Helmet
Drinks water from the faucet
Stares across the hall
At the pictures on the wall
Of hieroglyphic scrawl
And no one cares at all
That he is waiting
Man with Golden Helmet
Drinks water from the faucet
Man with Golden Helmet
Drinks water from the faucet
Walks on down the street
Leather boots, leather coat
Gloves of shining leather
Sidewalks and gutters and freezing weather
Empty streets full of no one
Man with Golden Helmet
Drinks water from the faucet
Man with Golden Helmet
Drinks water from the faucet
Plays with tiny children
On his way home from work
He doesn't wear a smirk
He can't revive it
Having different kinds of fun
With fourteen ancient nuns
Under circling sun
And his wonderful collection of guns
He's the top man in the language department
DESCENT INTO THE MAELSTROM
Took a ride on the ocean
Started swimming out
Lost sight of land
Time ran out
Arms getting heavy
Exhaustion's setting in
Waves getting bigger
Life's getting thin
My brain was screaming
My mind said no
My mouth was bleeding
Said you gotta go
Hit the high side
Monster/wave
Buried at sea
In an early grave
Free fall dive
Thousand foot pit
Cliffs of water turning
Adrenachrome hit
Death-like animals
The death of slaves
The death of humans
Getting sucked away
Ships trucks and planes
A million screaming heads
Agonised moaning
From the island of the dead
I'm going down
Into the maelstrom
Going down
Gonna drown
Alive alive alive
I'm alive
MONDAY MORNING GUNK
I was lying on my bed
Feelin' like I was nearly dead
Got my soul on fire
Mama you can't mean it
I was bleeding from my pride
I was bleeding from my eyes
Got my soul on ice
Mama you can cream it
Early morning rise
Got my guts in my eyes
Got my soul on fire
All right
DO THE POP
Come on baby it's time to move
You been saying there's nothing to do
Don't be afraid of bustin' out of your cage
Gonna cruise around gonna burn up the stage
Do the Pop
Come on baby I said squeeze the weez
On your feet or on your knees
So messed up I'm gonna do some dives
Gonna do the Pop gonna burn alive
We saw the Stooges and the MC5
Drove themselves insane alive
Nova, blow torch, A-bomb eyes
The Pop's the way, the truth and the light
LOVE KILLS
She smokes long cigarettes
Ashes on her jeans
Came out of Chicago
Looking cold and mean
She said nothing's there
Nothing left to try
Drinking down at the old Town Bar
I told her when I lied
Drove out to her sister's place
Out on Island Park Drive
Love kills your mind
Love kills your time
Love kills the film on your eyes
Sinking in her grey eyes
Singing 'We Will Fall'
Staring out the hotel window
At the pictures in the hall
Driving out to Detroit Metro
The snow driving on the wind
The sky was grey and white
The road was to the end
Ice was flying through my eyes
My heart was cold as sin
Love kills your mind
Love kills your time
Love kills the film on your eyes
HAND OF LAW
Fear and terror, watch out boy
The sun is getting low
After sundown we'll be ready
And who could ask for more
On the third day of the seventh month
Is when we'll ride the highway
Night descends, daylight ends
And like the light we'll fly
Hand of law is coming down
Hand of law is coming down
Hand of law is on us now
Hand of law is on us now
Black Killers, Earl Flinns,
Demons from the sea
Midnight train, self insane
Man of mystery
Gonna all burn now, do you hear
In a nuclear flame
You're gonna never be the same
Cos you're gonna be rearranged
All the mirrors sucking people through
Down to an unknown world
All the fears that you ever knew
Are alive in that world
It's coming from the nor nor west
The endless eye warns
A hole in the sky mirrors (pronounced 'meres')
And the light that never never warms
Hand of law is on us now
NEW RACE
There's gonna be a new race
Kids are gonna start it up
We're all gonna mutate
Kids are saying yeah hup
Yeah hup
Really gonna punch you out
We're sick of waking up late
Gotta get some control
The kids are gonna mutate
From an endless roll
Scared of circular time
It keeps faking us out
Kids are gonna eject
Cos now it's time to punch out
WHAT GIVES
My heart rips open 'cause you're my all
Staring at my blank white wall
The old clock is getting heavy-handed
Waiting for a plane that never landed
What gives
That you gonna do
Feel my hand across your lips
Got a P38 with a loaded clip
I'll do anything that I could
I'd go running out in the frozen woods
For you
So What gives What gives What gives
What you gonna do
NON-STOP GIRLS
Seven Four, taking me away
I'll never make it back to the USA
50 million horsepower J-84
Slammed my head through a one-way door
Oh no I can't use non-stop girls
Oh no I just can't use you
Cos all my love is gone
To another world
Oh no I can't use non-stop girls
Non-stop girls
Flashing in our lives
Non-stop girls
Burning in our minds
Non-stop girls
You just can't be beat
Bleeding heart
In a window seat
ALOHA STEVE AND DANNO
McGarrett's on the line to Danno
We gotta pick up this guy
Put out an APB
Not much time to tell you why
Governor says it's top priority
Washington says so too
Tell Chin to get here fast
5-0 is on the move
Steve I want to say thank you
For all you've done for me
My night is dark and empty
When you're not on TV
There's an agent in the field
I want to have him tailed
He's been staying at the Hilton
Yeah should be staying in the gaol
He's working for the KGB
And here's his dossier
Those Reds won't be happy
Till this guy gets his way
Chorus
Dark spectre of espionage
Hangs over fair Hawaii
McGarrett's one cool guy
The guilty will not go free
Steve and Danno they made the scene
The agent had done his deed
Caught with a stiff and a silenced gun
Said Book him Danno Murder One
HIT THEM AGAIN
Manipulations flashing out my hands
I can't show you all my plans
Until I activate you, you can't see
That's all right, all right by me
It's all right It's all right
Let's hit and run again tonite
40 strikes come over every day
Death from the skies blowing us away
Fire melts helmet and skull within
We gotta go behind the lines and hit 'em again
It's all right, it's all right
Let's hit and run again tonite
Now if you run babe you ain't got a chance
That Laser eye will freeze you with one glance
Burnin' wind howlin' at my door
Like Hamburg babe circa '44
It's all right, it's all right
Let's hit and run again tonite
