Aerosmith - Walk this way

Backstroke lover always hidin’ ’neath the cover
Still I talked to your daddy he say
He said you ain’t seen noting
’till you’re down on a muffin
Then you’re sure to be a-changin’ your ways

I met a cheerleader, was a real young bleeder
All the times I can remaniesse
’cause the best thing lovin’
With her sister and her cousin
Only started with a little kiss, like this!

See-saw swingin’ with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin’ up in the air
Singin’ hey diddle-diddle with the kitty in the middle
You be swingin’ like you just didn’t care

So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Was it me she was foolin’
’cause she knew what she was doin’
And I know love was here to stay
When she told me to

Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Ah, just give me a kiss - like this!

School girl sadie with the classy kinda sassy
Little skirt climbing way up her knees
There was three young ladies in the school gym locker
When I noticed they was lookin’ at me

I was a high school loser
Never made it with a lady
Till the boys told me something I missed
Then my next door neighbour
With a daughter had a favour
So I gave her just a little kiss, like this!

See-saw swingin’ with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin’ up in the air
Singin’ hey diddle-diddle with the kitty in the middle
You be swingin’ like you just didn’t care

So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Was it me she was foolin’
’cause she knew what she was doin’
When she told me how to walk this way
She told me to

Walk this way, talk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, talk this way
Just give me a kiss - like this!

Somebody
   
I need a lady, not somebody shady
need someone to be close to
somebody cozy, not somebody nosy
help me see my whole day through
someone to share the load
somebody to walk the road I live on... live!
good Lord send me, good Lord mend me
send me down someone for me
said I won't be choosy, you could send me a floozy
send me anybody you please
somebody say you will
somebody further still
somebody, some-somebody for me
now won't you send me somebody
yeah, somebody
won't you send me somebody
now won't you send me somebody
well, call for somebody, scream loud and bloody
call woman, woman, come on to me
save for tomorrow, share all your sorrow
misery enjoys company (yes it does, yes it does)

One Way Street

hey look on yonder, what's that I see
well that old bogus honey coming after me
I thought you told her I was out of town
I wonder how she knowed I was hangin' around
say, listen babe, don't go wastin' your time
you keep on comin' round you'll hear the same old line
you got a thousand boys, you say you need 'em
you take what's good for you and I'll take my freedom
'cause lately it's been so hard now to make ends meet
and honey, your head's a one way street
and I gotta go the other way
I thought I knew her, my cagey lady
how could my sunshine be so damn shady
she'll say she love to talk a conversation
but I'm the one that makes my situation
this one way city, that I thought I knew
it's such a pity honey, that's it for you
there's nothin' over here I never showed ya
I made it pretty clear I'm glad to know ya
you know your brother Spike, he's on the level
but you always lookin' like you're mad at the devil
don't say I cop a 'tude, it's all forgotten
it's just you're much too rude, your fruits are rotten *
you know I work so hard to keep it alive
now all I hear from you is nothin' but jive
lately it's been so hard now to make ends meet
and honey, your head's a one way street
and I really been feelin' like I could be movin' on *
your head's like a one way street
when you're foolin' everybody you meet
your head's like a one way street
you got to get yourself back on your feet

Mama Kin
   
It ain't easy, livin' like a gypsy.
Tell ya, honey, how I feel.
I've been dreaming,
Floatin' down stream and
Losin' touch with all that is real.
Whole earth lover, keepin' under cover
Never knowin' where ya been.
You've been fadin', always out paradin.
Keepin' touch with Mama Kin.

Well you've always got your tail on the wag.
Shootin' fire from your mouth just like a dragon.
You act like a perpertual drag.
You better check it out,
Or someday soon you'll have to climb back on the wagon.

It ain't easy, livin' like ya wanna,
And it's so hard to find piece of mind. Yes it is.
The way I see it, you've got to say shit.
But don't forget to drop me a line.

Said you're as bald as an egg at eighteen.
And workin' for you dad is just a drag.
He still stuffs your mouth with your dreams.
You better check it out,
Or someday soon you'll have to climb back on the wagon.

Keepin' touch with Mama Kin.
Tell her where you've gone and been.
Livin' out your fantasy,
Sleeping late and smoking tea.
[repeat once]

It ain't easy, livin' like ya wanna,
And it's so hard to find piece of mind. Yes it is.
The way I see it, you've got to say shit.
But don't forget to drop me a line.

Said you're as bald as an egg at eighteen.
And workin' for you dad is just a drag.
He still stuffs your mouth with your dreams.

Or someday soon you'll have to climb back on the wagon.

Keepin' touch with Mama Kin.
Tell her where you've gone and been.
Livin' out your fantasy,
Sleeping late and smoking tea.

Write Me A Letter
   
write me a letter
write me a letter
write it today
I'm goin' away
well I've been away forever
suicide's crossin' my mind
but I'll never get so far behind
I said, the ways of the night are evil
without that lord of day
but I'll never get so far away
I said write me
write me
write me
well there's nothin' I can see that'd ever make me want to be
without her
she good, she good to me
said there's no way to explain the kind of feeling that you get out
in the
she good, she good to me
she good, she good to me
I love her
well I've been so many places
hidin' from the wind and the rain
but you could write me a letter
for to save me from a-goin' insane

Movin' Out
   
we all live on the edge of town
where we all live ain't a soul around
people start a-comin', all we do is just a-grin
said we gotta move out cause the city's movin' in
I said we gotta move out cause the city's movin' in
tell me who ya know, and I'll tell ya who too
go see my friend and he'll set you free
tell me what you need and maybe I can go too
no one knows the way but maybe me
nobody goes there, nobody shows where
nobody knows where you can find me
good morning glory, halleluh to ya
what is the story and what's been goin' through ya?
livin' like a king off the fat of the land
workin' like a dog in a rock n' roll band
we're movin' -- we're gettin' out
we're movin' -- without a doubt
we're movin' -- we're goin' far
we're movin' -- oh yes we are

[chorus]

level with God and you're in tune with the universe
talk with yourself and you'll hear what you wanna know
gotta rise above cause below it's only gettin' worse
life in time will take you where you wanna go, where you wanna go,
x's a bunch
baby catch ya round, I don't know where I'm goin'

Walkin' The Dog
   
walkin' the dog
I'm just a-walkin' your dog
well if you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk the dog
ask your mama for fifteen cents
to see the elephant jump the fence
it jumped so high, it touched the sky
didn't come back till the fourth of July
mary mary, quite contrary
how does your garden grow
well well, silver bells, and little bitty bitty white shells
pretty maids all in a row

Same Old Song And Dance
   
get yourself cooler, lay yourself low
coincidental murder, with nothing to show
with the judge, constipation will go to his head
and his wife's aggravation, you're soon enough dead

it's the same old story, same old song and dance, my friend
it's the same old story, same old song and dance, my friend

gotcha with the cocaine they found with your gun
[alt: shady lookin' loser, you played with my gun]
no smoothy face laywer to getcha undone
say love ain't the same on the south side of town
you could look, but you ain't gonna find it around

it's the same old story, same old song and dance, my friend
it's the same old story, same old story
same old song and dance

fate comes a-knockin', doors start lockin'
your old time connection, change your direction
ain't gonna change it, can't rearrange it
can't stand the pain when it's all the same to you, my friend

when you're low down and dirty, from walkin' the street
with your old hurdy-gurdy, no one to meet
say love ain't the same, on the south side of town
you could look, but you ain't gonna find it around

Seasons Of Wither
Pandora's Box

Lord Of The Thighs
   
Down to who knows who, just to socialize.
I'm waiting for my girls, when you call my eyes.
You got no way to make a man honey,
You got to understand.
I'm your man, child. Lord of the Thighs.

Well, well, Lordie my God,
What do we got here?
She's flashin' 'cross the floor,
Make it perfectly clear.
You're the bait, and you're the hook,
Someone 'bound to take a look.
I'm your man, child. Lord of the Thighs.

You must of come here to find it,
You've got the look in your eyes.
Although you really don't mind it -
I am the Lord of your Thighs!

You must of come here to find it baby,
You've got the look in your eyes.
Although you really don't mind it -
I am the Lord of your Thighs!

Spaced
   
spaced in time
child of nine
doin' twenty years on the way
fire and steel
earth unreal
find another planet to stay
papa died
ma survived
tellin' me about her ordeal
and the soul she could not feel
'cause they made her so unreal
lightnin' years
disappears
twenty million years on my brain
synthesize
overrides
tryin' to keep from goin' insane
and my soul I can not feel
'cause they made me so unreal
spaced enough to know I feel there's nothin' out there
spaced enough to know I feel I really don't care
spaced enough to feel I'm really losin' my mind
and I'm never ever goin' back
I'm off the track
no one even knows I'm alive
spaced
without a trace
waitin' for the word to arrive
I'm the last man to survive
