Welcome to the Jungle


Oh my God...
Welcome to the jungle, we got fun 'n' games
We got everything you want, honey, we know the names
We are the people that can find, whatever you may need
If you got the money, honey, we got your disease

In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle... watch it bring you to your
Shanananana knees, knees
Come on... I... I wanna watch you bleed

Welcome to the jungle, we take it day by day
If you want it you're gonna bleed, but it's the price you pay
And you're a very sexy girl, who's very hard to please
You can taste the bright lights, but you won't get them for free

In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Feel my.. my.. my... my serpentine
Come on... I... I wanna hear you scream

Welcome to the jungle
It gets worse here everyday, ya learn ta live like an animal
In the jungle where we play
If you got a hunger for what you see, you'll take it eventually
You can have anything you want, but you better not take it from me

In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring it to your shanananana knees, knees
Come on... I'm gonna watch you bleed
An when you're high you never, ever want to come down...
so down... so down... so down...

You know where you are?
You're in the jungle baby
You're gonna die

In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your... shanananana knees... knees

In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Feel my... my... my... my serpentine

In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your... shananana knees... knees

Down in the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your...
It's gonna bring you down


It’s So Easy


I see your sister in her Sunday dress
She's out to please, she pouts her best
She's out to take, no need to try
She's ready to make

It's so easy, easy
When everybody's tryin' to please me, baby
It's so easy, easy
When everybody's tryin' to please me

Cars are crashin' every night
I drink n' drive, everything's in sight
I make the fire
But I miss the firefight
I hit the bull's eye every night

It's so easy, easy
When everybody's tryin' to please me, baby
Yeah it's so easy, easy
When everybody's tryin' to please me

So easy
But nothin' seems to please me
It all fits so right, when I fade into the night
See me hit you... you fall down

I see you standin' there
You think you're so cool
Why don't you just... FUCK OFF!!!

Ya get nothin' for nothing’
If that's what you do
Turn around bitch, I got a use for you
Besides... you ain't got nothin' better to do
And I'm bored

It's so easy, easy
When everybody's tryin' to please me, baby
It's so easy, easy
When everybody's tryin' to please me

So easy
But nothin’ seems to please me
It all fits so right
When I fade into the night

So come with me, don't ask me where ‘cause I don't know
I'll try to please you
I ain't got no money, but it goes to show

It's so easy
So fuckin’ easy
It's so easy
So damn easy
It's so easy
So fuckin’ easy
It's so easy
So easy
It's so easy
So fuckin’ easy…
It's so easy..... yeah!


Nightrain


Loaded like a freight train, flyin' like an aeroplane
Feelin' like a space brain, one more time tonight

Well I'm a west coast struttin'… one bad mother
Got a rattlesnake suitcase under my arm
Said I'm a mean machine, been drinkin' gasoline
And honey you can make my motor hum

Well I got one chance left, in a nine live cat
I got a dog eat dog sly smile
I got a Molotov cocktail, with a match to go
I smoke my cigarette with style
An' I can tell you honey, you can make my money tonight

Wake up late, honey put on your clothes
And take your credit card to the liquor store
Well that's one for you an’ two for me by tonight

I'll be loaded like a freight train
Flyin' like an aeroplane
Feelin' like a space brain, one more time tonight

I'm on the nightrain
Bottoms up
I'm on the nightrain
Fill my cup
I'm on the nightrain
Ready to crash and burn
I never learn
I'm on the nightrain
I love that stuff
I'm on the nightrain
And I can never get enough
I'm on the nightrain
Never to return... No

Loaded like a freight train
Flyin' like an aeroplane
Speedin' like a space brain, one more time tonight

I'm on the nightrain
And I'm lookin' for some
I'm on the nightrain
So's I can leave this slum
I'm on the nightrain
And I'm ready to crash and burn

Nightrain
Bottoms up
I'm on the nightrain
Fill my cup
I'm on the nightrain
Whoa yeah
I'm on the nightrain
Love that stuff
I'm on the nightrain
An' I can never get enough
Ridin' the nightrain

I guess I…
I guess, I guess, I guess
I never learn
On the nightrain
Float me home
Ooh I'm on the nightrain
Ridin' the nightrain
Never to return
Nightrain


Out ta Get Me


Been hidin' out and layin' low
It's nothin' new ta me
Well you can always find a place to go
If you can keep your sanity

They break down the doors
And they rape my rights but
They won't touch me
They scream and yell
And fight all night
You can't tell me
I lose my head
I close my eyes
They won't touch me

'Cause I got something‘
I been buildin' up inside
For so fuckin' long

They're out ta get me
They won't catch me
I'm fuckin' innocent
They won't break me

Sometimes it's easy to forget where you're goin'
Sometimes it's harder to leave
And everytime you think you know just what you're doin'
That's when your troubles exceed

They push me in a corner
Just to get me to fight but
They won't touch me
They preach and yell
And fight all night
You can't tell me
I lose my head
I close my eyes
They won't touch me
‘Cause I got something‘
I been buildin' up inside
I'm already gone

They're out ta get me
They won't catch me
‘Cause I'm innocent
They won't break me
No…
oh no... no.…
No no nooo, no no noooo
Lemme see ya try!

Some people got a chip on their shoulder
An’ some would say it was me
But I didn't buy that fifth of whisky
That you gave me
So I'd be quick to disagree

They're out to get me
They won't catch me
I'm fuckin’ innocent
They won't break me

They're out to get me
They won't catch me
Cause I'm innocent
So you can suck me…

Take that one to heart


Mr. Brownstone


I get up around seven
Get outta bed around nine
An’ I don't worry about nothin’ no
‘Cause worryin's a waste of my... time

The show usually starts around seven
We go on stage around nine
Get on the bus about eleven
Sippin' a drink and feelin' fine
We’ve been dancin' with
Mr. Brownstone
He's been knockin'
He won't leave me alone

No, no, no, no
He won’t leave me alone
I used ta do a little
But a little wouldn't do it
So the little got more and more
I just keep tryin'
Ta get a little better
Said a little better than before
I used ta do a little
But a little wouldn't do it
So the little got more and more
I just keep tryin'
Ta get a little better
Said a little better than before
We’ve been dancin’ with
Mr. Brownstone
He’s been knockin’
He won’t leave me alone
No, no, no, no
He won’t leave me alone

Now I get up around whenever
I used ta get up on time
But that old man
He's a real muthafucker
Gonna kick him on down the line

I used ta do a little
But a little wouldn't do it
So the little got more and more
I just keep tryin'
Ta get a little better
Said a little better than before
I used ta do a little

But a little wouldn't do it
So the little got more and more
I just keep tryin'
Ta get a little better
Said a little better than before
We’ve been dancin’ with
Mr. Brownstone
He’s been knockin
He won’t leave me alone
No, no, no, oh
He won’t leave me alone
Won't leave me alone…

Stuck it in the middle an’ I shot it in the middle
An’ it drove me outta my mind
I shoulda known better
Said I wish I never met her
Said I... I leave it all behind…


Paradise City


Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take... oh won't you please take me home
Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take... oh won't you please take me home...

Just a' urchin
Livin' under the street
I'm a hard case
That's tough to beat

I'm your charity case
So buy me somethin' to eat
I'll pay you at another time
Take it to the end of the line

Rags to riches or so they say
Ya gotta keep pushin'
For the fortune and fame
You know it's... it's all a gamble
When it's just a game
Ya treat it like a capital crime
Everybody's doin' their time

Chorus:
Take me down
To the Paradise City
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Oh won't you please take me home, yeah yeah
Take me down
To the Paradise City
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Take... me... home

Strapped in the chair
Of the city's gas chamber
Why I'm here I can't quite remember
The surgeon general says
It's hazardous to breathe
I'd have another cigarette
But I can't see
Tell me who you're gonna believe

Chorus

So far... away
So far... away
So far... away
So far... away

Captain America's been torn apart
Now he's a court jester
With a broken heart
He said
Turn me around and
Take me back to the start
I must be losin' my mind-
Are you blind?
I've seen it all a million times

Chorus (3x)
I wanna go.. I wanna go
Oh won't you please take me home
I wanna see... how good it can be
Oh won't you please take me home
Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Take me home

Chorus


My Michelle


Your daddy works in porno
Now that mommy's not around
She used to love her heroin
But now she's underground

So you stay out late at night
And you do your coke for free
Drivin' your friends crazy
With your life's insanity

Well, well, well, you just can't tell
Well, well, well my Michelle
Look out

Sowin' all your wild oats
In another's luxuries
Yesterday was Tuesday
Maybe Thursday you can sleep
But school starts much too early
And this hotel wasn't free
So party till your connection calls
Honey, I'll return the key

Chorus:
Well, well, well you just can't tell
Well, well, well my Michelle
Well, well, well you never can tell
Well, well, well my Michelle

Everyone needs love
You know that it's true
Someday you'll find someone
That'll fall in love with you
But oh the time it takes
When you're all alone
Someday you'll find someone
That you can call your own
But till then ya better...

Now you're clean
And so discreet
I won't say a word
But most of all this song is true
Case you haven't heard
So c'mon and stop your cryin'
'Cause we both know money burns
Honey don't stop tryin
An' you'll get what you deserve
Chorus


Think About You


I say baby you been lookin' real good
You know that I remember when we met
It's funny how I never felt so good
It's a feelin' that I know
I know I'll never forget

Ooh it was the best time
I can remember
Ooh and the love we shared
Is lovin' that'll last forever

There wasn't much
In this heart of mine
There was a little left
And babe you found it

It's funny how I never felt so high

It's a feelin' that I know
I know I'll never forget

Ooh it was the best time
I can remember
Ooh and the love we shared
Is lovin' that'll last forever

Chorus:
I think about you
Honey all the time
My heart says yes
I think about you
Deep inside I love you best

I think about you
You know you're the one I want
I think about you
Darlin' you're the only one
I think about you... yeah

I think about you
You know that I do
I think about you
All alone, only you
I think about you
Oh, it's true
I think about you
Oh, yes I do

Somethin' changed
In this heart of mine
You know that I'm so glad that ya showed me
Honey now you're my best friend
I wanna stay together till the very end

Ooh, it was the best time I can remember
Oh, and the love we shared
Is lovin that'll last forever

Chorus


Sweet Child O' Mine


She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky

Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that
Special place
And if I stared too long
I'd probably break down and cry

Chorus:
Whoa, oh, oh, sweet child o' mine
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, sweet love of mine

She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain

Her hair reminds me
Of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide

And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by

Chorus (3x)

Outro (8x):
Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go
Sweet child o' mine


You’re Crazy


I been lookin' for a trace
Lookin' for a heart
Lookin' for a lover in a world
That's much too dark

Chorus:
You don't want my love
You want satisfaction
You don't need my love
You gotta find yourself another
Piece of the action, yeah

Said where you goin'
What you gonna do
I been lookin' everywhere
I been lookin' for you

Chorus
Cause you're crazy
You're fuckin crazy
You know you're crazy
Oh child
I said you're crazy
You don't want my love
You want satisfaction
I got your satisfaction

You don't need my love
You gotta find yourself another
Piece of the action
'Cause you're crazy
You're fuckin' crazy
Ya know you're crazy
Oh child
I said you're crazy

Say boy where ya comin' from
Where'd ya get that point of view
When I was younger
Said I knew someone like you
And they said

Chorus

'Cause you're crazy
You're fuckin' crazy
Oh my
Ya know you're crazy
Oh child
I said you're crazy
Ooh you're crazy
You know you're crazy
Well you're crazy
You know you're crazy
You know you are
Bring it down
You're fuckin' crazy


Anything Goes


I been thinkin' 'bout
Thinkin' 'bout sex
Always hungry for somethin'
That I haven't had yet

Well maybe baby you got somethin' to lose
Well I got somethin',
I got somethin' for you

Chorus:
My way-your way
Anything goes tonight
My way-your way
Anything goes tonight

Panties 'round your knees
With your ass in debris
Doin' that grind
With a push and squeeze

Tied up, tied down,
Up against the wall
Be my rubbermaid baby
An' we can do it all
Chorus (5x)


Rocket Queen


If I say I don't need anyone
I can say these things to you
'Cause I can turn on anyone
Just like I've turned on you

I've got a tongue like a razor
A sweet switchblade knife
And I can do you favors
But then you'll do whatever I like

Chorus:
Here I am
And you're a Rocket Queen
I might be a little young
But honey I ain't naive
Here I am
And you're a Rocket Queen oh yeah
I might be too much
But honey you're a bit obscene

I've seen everything imaginable
Pass before these eyes
I've had everything that's tangible
Honey you'd be suprised

I'm a sexual innuendo
In this burned out paradise
If you turn me on to anything
You better turn me on tonight

Chorus(2x)

I see you standin'
Standin' on your own
It's such a lonely place for you
For you to be

If you need a shoulder
Or if you need a friend
I'll be here standing
Until the bitter end

No one needs the sorrow
No one needs the pain
I hate to see you
Walking out there
Out in the rain

So don't chastise me
Or think I, I mean you harm
Of those that take you
Leave you strung out
Much too far
Baby, yeah

Oh, oh, oh, oh
No, no, no, no
Baby, yeah

Don't ever leave me
Say you'll always be there

All I ever wanted
Was for you
To know that I care
