AS PERFECT STRANGERS 

All over the world
the time is the same the time
when we are changing
New ways to find
old ones to blame
just save a smoke for the morning


I could cry, cry for the Savior

for I hope every evening t
hat my flame sleeps away
and the whole wide world
is an ashtray for me in the morning


As perfect strangers
I wear down the world
meeting bad angels
down on the earth


Under the sky the scene is the same
we sin and then comes the praying
Wounded girls wounded games
they try to keep on playing


I had a tale and I had a partner
but now they're gone with the night train
There must be a wind up or down under
that shows me the right way


As perfect strangers
I wear down the world
meeting bad angels
down on the earth


Fellows, it seems

I'm losing the flame
and running out of dreams
with the morning train

CRAZY TRAIN 

Welcome aboard the crazy train
Welcome aboard the crazy train
You'd better wake up, before you end up
Somewhere on insanity lane
So welcome aboard the crazy train
The earth and the arms growing rustic tracks
Where the jungle freak show, it never rests
Hey buddy what's up, you'd better shake up
Your brain in that sparklin' drain
So how do you feel on the crazy train?
So plunge under the surface
Meet the mystical
Strange creatures in luminary moods
Take part in the circus
Catch what's magical
And it's all ruled by the moon
So, ladies and gents please let the passengers out first
And enter the world's greatest silver capsule
We're gonna pass Columbus' dreams
The John Doe thing, and Robinson Coast
We're gonna stop for a shot at Times Spare
Continuing on to Lexington brand new
The 42nd Scream
And the Brooklyn Bitch
We'll take a look at the Vampire Waste Building
And of course at Jerry's boat
To finally reach the World Break Center
While listening to Washington Swear
Step all the way in, stay clear of the closing doors!

EUGENE'S COOL BLUES 

Check it out here comes Eugene
with a hash smile on his face
He rolls around in his blue jeans
with a tooth brush in his guitar case


When I go with him,
then I don't know where I'm going.


Check it out here comes the evil
With him you could sing a song
Hey man, here comes the evil
I'm sure you could make a hell of a row


When I go with him,
then I don't know where I'm going.


Hey man, says the evil
I'm taking home my trusty steed
Hey man, says the evil stay high,
say hi to the night for me


When I go with him,
then I don't know where I'm going.


Check it out here comes Eugene
in a funky plastic form
Check it out here comes Eugene
and he's dying for a liquor store


When I go with him,

then I don't know where I'm going.


Hey man, waddaya say
we drink a couple of hot shots of whatever.
Hey, and get a handle on that chick problem of yours.
Just sink me "Bottle up & Go".
Hey man, don't worry, the night will take care of you.

FINALE 

You can be cautious

or just a rebel
Until the day the Lord

kicks your bell
Angel or devil

who can unravel
So just blow it all to hell


You can be lovely

You can be ugly
It aint no matter

if you sing or bark
'Cos where we all go
Just poison ivy
will grow wild on your heart

IF YOU PAY I SING 

Jesus made a miracle
Jesus made a miracle
Jesus made my bottle walk


My day has come,
I've gotta go
but I still have

a song to show

a song that makes

your bottle go
I've gotta fly

when a banjo rings
But my maker gave me

hands not wings
So I've gotta fly with drinks


It's easier than

you would think
to sip the drink

just sip the drink
If you pay

I try to sing anything
I'll try to drink anything

MADE IN CHINA 

When the first emperor Chin was Born
Noone would have thought
That after some 2000 years
We'd all wear chinese coats

The gun powder, the paper and the silk
I'm sure you know
Just look down at your shoes my friend
It's chinese,huh? Let's go!

The world is made in china

Your wisdom Mr Confucius
Ya, still sounds very cool
I'd rather have a springroll, baby
Chinese dishes rule

Noone seems to work but them
Oh, what a crazy time
By the way the USA
Is baggin' for a dime

The world is made in China

MAKE IT DOUBLE 

It's time to het a bit crazy
This night is a devilish child
Come Lady, come get dizzy Hey!
Come with me honey rip this night


It's time to jump in a limousine
This time is brimming with life
It's a rush, you better get more kerosine
Come with me for a burning ride


Hey brother make it double! '
Cause who knows how long your can
Please don't ever mind the trouble just like me


This time I feel like Willy
Willy Shabby was a fatalist boy
When the end came he wasn't shilly shally
Hey! Come with me Willy boy just once more


Its time, go cross the river
Cross the Styx with the ferrymen's ship
The other world is just another bummer
If you pay at the devil's inn leave a tip


Hey brother make it double
'Cause who knows how long you can
Please don't ever mind the trouble
live a life that's worth to spend


You just never know what's coming
Squeeze out every drop you can
If the bad fate cuts your running
you'll always have your rest

PARTY IN MY BONES 

I'm shuffling down on the street
this cold night laid me bare
I'm going down with the stream
into the city's blare


Passing by the hooker's row tempting lips,
oh burning curse
Hey babe save yourself for tomorrow
keep your passion in your purse


Came on! I can hear those crazy tones
If I can't find a party,
I'll have a party in my bones


I'm spinning round and round
around my tattooed bones
The dreams are razed to the ground
and covered with heavy stones


Passing by the junky's square
it feels so dizzy, feels so gay
A giddy sniff from the air
and I'm dating fairies right away


Come on! I can hear those crazy tones
If I can't find a party,
I'll have a party in my bones


I'm falling outta my skin
into the midnight glass
The shade of human sin
is walking on magic grass
Bright morning makes me sober


Twilight's gone it seems so dull
I fall prey to the brandy soaked suburb
Hey, pour some brandy in my skull!


Come on! I can hear those crazy tones
If I can't find a party,
I'll have a party in my bones

STRAIGHT TO YOUR HEAVEN 

The steam is rising off the river
the night takes a big bite from the moon
The passion's burning in fever
and an angel's warming dope in a silver spoon



Go straight to your heaven...


Tonight the gallows birds are happy
whistling the devil's weary blues
They don't need a goddamned penny
they're just twisting away in pointed shoes


Go straight to your heaven...


Fish headed guys came off a picture
Bosch with his dreampipe blessed them all
They're dancing tango with a vulture
gay spirits riding for a fall


Go straight to your heaven...


Lord came down with some angels
Up there He was sad and bored
He drank a coctail with a stranger
and then hit the road in the Devil's ford


Go straight to your heaven...

THE BALLAD OF JERRY 

Sad was the day
and sharp was the noise
when the hang out kid saw
that his punishment came
He spent too much time
in praying for joy
It's all about a boy



First came the flashes
followed by crashes
when jealousy rose
in the form of a pistol
Just ashes of wishes
remained in his dishes
It's all about a boy


Jerry can dance,finally
Left all his plans
so far behind
Jerry can dance
it's plain to see
For the last time tonight


Between the sky
and the planks of the scaffold
when the wind it kneels down
and says: God bless you boy
His prayer for bliss
it had been raffled
it's all about a boy


Jerry can dance, finally
Left all his plans so far behind
Jerry can dance it's plain to see
Fot the last time tonight


Jery can dance finally
Left all his plans so far behind
Jerry can dance,
it's hellish to see
For the last time tonight


What have you done sonny-boy
now you're dancing there
on your own
You've got your rope
you're jerking alone
