They put a rifle in my hand, sent me off to a foreign land to go and kill the Yellow man.
Me and crazy Janey were making love in the dirt singing our birthday songs.
Go-kart Mozart was checking out the weather chart to see if it was safe outside.
You get used to anything, sooner or later it just becomes your life.
You can hide beneath the covers and study your pain, make crosses from your lovers, throw roses in the rain. Waste your summer praying in vain, for a savior to rise from these streets.
But the star thing I can live with. The music I can't live without. And that's how it lays out for me, you know. I got as big an ego and enjoy the attention.
In America everything's about who's number one today.
I'm a synthesist. I'm always making music. And I make a lot of different kinds of music all the time. Some of it gets finished and some of it doesn't.
I have my ideas, I have my music and I also just enjoy showing off, so that's a big part of it. Also, I like to get up onstage and behave insanely or express myself physically, and the band can get pretty silly.
I met a girl and we ran away, I swore I'd make her happy every day. And how I made her cry, two faces have I.
So tell me what I see when I look in your eyes, is that you baby or just a brilliant disguise?
You use to drive me wild, but lately you get your kicks from just knocking me down, down, down.
Badlands, you got to live it everyday, let the broken hearts stand as the price you've got to pay.
I got Mary pregnant and man that's all she wrote. And for my 19th birthday, I got a union card and a factory coat.
