Tonight
Oh, I don't wanna have to take your arm
But I will, said I will
Don't wanna have to damage anyone
But I'd kill, kiss and kill
I don't intend to take this lying down
With my head between my hands, no
I don't intend to copy any bird
That keeps it's head stuck in the sand, oh
You scratch my back
And maybe I'll claw yours
You understand being used
And if you feel a little itchy now
You won't mind being abused
Tonight...the towers crumble
Tonight...the mountains fall
Tonight...no one stumbles
Tonight...no one stalls
Scratch you tonight
You don't wanna have to spill those beans
but you will, I said you will
You got the numbers and the papers here
And you will, kiss and spill
You check me out and then you reel me in
Oh you check and you reel real fine
You're slummin' now with all those friends you got
You've been slumming in the slime
You scratch my back
And maybe I'll claw yours
You understand being used
And if you feel a little itchy now
You won't mind being abused
Tonight...the towers crumble
Tonight...the mountain falls
Tonight...no one tumbles
Tonight...no one calls
Scratch you tonight
We're itchin' tonight, scratch you tonight
All right, all right, you want me tonight, yeah
Want me tonight, all right, all right
Do it tonight, sit tight
Fool me tonight, yeah yeah
Tonight...the towers crumble
Tonight...the mountains fall
Tonight...I heard you fumble
Tonight...the motor stalls
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Don't wanna have to damage anyone
But I'd kill, kiss and kill
I don't intend to take this lying down
With my head between my hands, no
I don't intend to copy any bird
That keeps it's head stuck in the sand, oh
You scratch my back
And maybe I'll claw yours
You understand being used
And if you feel a little itchy now
You won't mind being abused
Tonight...the towers crumble
Tonight...the mountains fall
Tonight...no one stumbles
Tonight...no one stalls
Scratch you tonight
You don't wanna have to spill those beans
but you will, I said you will
You got the numbers and the papers here
And you will, kiss and spill
You check me out and then you reel me in
Oh you check and you reel real fine
You're slummin' now with all those friends you got
You've been slumming in the slime

All right, all right, you want me tonight, yeah
Want me tonight, all right, all right

Fool me tonight, yeah yeah
Tonight...the towers crumble

b/w Precious Time
Doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo…
Slow down
Time is waiting for no one
I've no time
And I must go now
You've been wasting my time
My precious time
Hold on
I've been sitting here for too long
I could've stayed
But I said 'so long'
You've been wasting my time
My precious time
Doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo…
Okay
You've outgrown, but it's too late
Be waiting here for the long day
You've been wasting my time
My precious time
You've been telling me your life story
I've got exactly one hour before me
I've got the feeling that everything you say is lies
Slow down
Time is waiting for no one
I've no time and I must go now
You've been wasting my time
Precious time
Hold on
I've been sitting here for too long
It's no fun sitting here, so, so long
Go and waste your time
Your time
You've been telling me your life story
I've got exactly one hour before me
I've got a feeling that everything you say is lies
Doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo…
Slow down, slow down
It's no fun
We're sitting here
Wasting time
You're taking my time, not yours
Slow down
Hold on, I say 'what's the time'
Why did you lie
Got to go, time to go away
Slow down
Time is waiting for no one
I've no time
And I must go now
You've been wasting my time
My precious time
Hold on
I've been sitting here for too long
I could've stayed
But I said 'so long'
You've been wasting my time
My precious time
Doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo…
Okay
You've outgrown, but it's too late
Be waiting here for the long day
You've been wasting my time
My precious time
You've been telling me your life story
I've got exactly one hour before me
I've got the feeling that everything you say is lies
Slow down
Time is waiting for no one
I've no time and I must go now
You've been wasting my time
Precious time
Hold on
I've been sitting here for too long
It's no fun sitting here, so, so long
Go and waste your time
Your time
You've been telling me your life story
I've got exactly one hour before me
I've got a feeling that everything you say is lies
Doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo…
Slow down, slow down
It's no fun
We're sitting here
Wasting time
You're taking my time, not yours
Slow down
Hold on, I say 'what's the time'
Why did you lie
Got to go, time to go away

b/w Walking Downtown
Walking down town, walking down town, walking down
Walking down town, walking down town, walking down
Walking down town, walking down town, walking down
Walking down town, walking down town, walking down
Walking down town, walking down...
It's strange here
It's funny in a way
Is it the night that
Makes it this way
Ten thousand streets under a northern sky
And a million stories in a funny clothen city
And I've heard every one of them
Not only that!
I've been in every one of them
Not only that!
Nobody's interested anyway
This place stinks like Chicago!
(Jump down, jump down)
It smells of cabbage and grey water
(Jump down, jump down)
It's steaming here
Oh, It stinks, the place
See through the night
Through the grits of faith
But
I'm walking out, oh!
I'm not afraid
The grass is greener
But the nature's grey
When the last time had been driven
Those left alive just up and risen
For the damp walls
And the clammy tongues
And the quickly cooling sweat of lousy sex, huh?
634-5789…
Yep, that's my number
634-5789…
Why don't you come by some time, and you know
Dine it up
Someday
Wonder how these things get there
Don't look
They'll be laughing anyway
When one mystery makes these things suffer
You eat well
You sleep well
And that's how some things are these days
Walking down town, walking down town, walking down
Walking down town, walking down town, walking down
Walking down town, walking down town, walking down
Walking down town, walking down town, walking down
I don't want to think like this
I want to think like an animal
(Jump down, jump down)
I exist
Therefore unhappy
(Jump down, jump down)
You come here to live for your world
Please leave your mess, it's not magic, girl
Everybody and I have said
Start their hearts with whatever's left
634-5789…
That's the number, say it again
634-5789…
You gotta make it over
Sometime when you drop by, you know
Dine me up
Someday
Wonder how these things get there
Don't look
They'll be laughing anyway
When one mystery makes these things suffer
You eat well
You sleep well
And that's how some things are these days
Walking down town, walking down town, walking down
Walking down town, walking down town, walking down
Walking down town, walking down town, walking down
Walking down town, walking down town, walking down
Walking down town, walking down town, walking down…
Sometimes I feel like the first person to step into America
Who looked around and thought
'What the fuck is this?'
We're talking uptown here (Walking down town)
We're talking uptown! (Walking down town)
Walking down town, walking down town, walking down...
Walking down town, walking down town, walking down
Walking down town, walking down...
