  • Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
  • Somewhere in this town
  • See me and the boys we don't like it
  • So were getting up and going down
  • Hiding low looking right to left
  • If you see us coming I think it's best
  • To move away do you hear what I say
  • From under my breath
  • Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
  • Somewhere in the town
  • Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
  • So don't you be around
  • Don't you be around
  • Tonight there's gonna be trouble
  • Some of us won't survive
  • See the boys and me mean business
  • Bustin' out dead or alive
  • I can hear the hound dogs on my trail
  • All hell breaks loose, alarm and sirens wail
  • Like the game if you lose
  • Go to jail
  • Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
  • Somewhere in the town
  • Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
  • So don't you be around
  • Tonight there's gonna trouble
  • I'm gonna find myself in
  • Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
  • So woman stay with a friend
  • You know it's safer
  • Breakout!
  • Tonight there's gonna be a breakout
  • Into the city zones
  • Don't you dare to try and stop us
  • No one could for long
  • Searchlight on my trail
  • Tonight's the night all systems fail
  • Hey you good lookin' female
  • Come here!
  • Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
  • Somewhere in the town
  • Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
  • So don't you be around
  • Tonight there's gonna be trouble
  • I'm gonna find myself in
  • Tonight there's gonna be trouble
  • So woman stay with a friend
 
  • Down from the glen came the marching men
  • With their shields and their swords
  • To fight the fight they believed to be right
  • Overthrow the overlords
  • To the town where there was plenty
  • They brought plunder, swords and flame
  • When they left the town was empty
  • Children would never play again
  • From their graves I heard the fallen
  • Above the battle cry
  • By that bridge near the border
  • There were many more to die
  • Then onward over the mountain
  • And outward towards the sea
  • They had come to claim the Emerald
  • Without it they could not leave
 
  • The boom time it is over
  • A ghost town is all that's left here
  • The gold rush it is over
  • And depression days draw near
  • Tonight after sundown
  • I'm going to pack my case
  • I leave without a sound
  • Disappear without a trace
  • I'm going southbound
  • Drifting like a drover
  • Chasing my career
  • From the ships docked in the harbour
  • New horizons will appear
  • Tumbling with the tumbleweed
  • Down the open road
  • Taking only what I need
  • Before my head explodes
  • I'm going southbound
  • Hey, you're not getting any younger
  • The wild west has already been won
  • Northern lights are growing colder
  • And the old eastern ways are gone
  • So tonight after sundown
  • You must go from this place
  • Without a tear, without a frown
  • Disappear without a trace
 
  • She's quite a mediator
  • A smoother operator you will never see
  • Said "See you later"
  • You know one day I disobeyed her openly
  • She knows music
  • I know music too, you see
  • She's got the power
  • The teen queen, Rosalie
  • She's got the pleasure
  • Comes from all the cornerstones of the world
  • She's so fantastic
  • She's everybody's favorite little record girl
  • She knows music
  • I know music too, you see
  • She's got the power
  • I got the power, Rosalie
  • Rosalie
  • Rosalie
  • Rosalie
  • Rosalie
  • Down on me, Rosalie
  • Shine on me will you please
  • Well Chattanooga, Lacooda, Baooga Loosa
  • You can hear her fine
  • She makes the choices
  • Then you'd best be smiling when it's losing time
  • She knows music
  • I know music too, you see
  • She's got the power
  • She is a tower, Rosalie
  • Rosalie
  • Rosalie
  • Rosalie
  • Rosalie
 
  • At a point below zero
  • There's no place left to go
  • Six hundred unknown heroes
  • Were killed like sleeping buffalo
  • Through the devil's canyon
  • Across the battlefield
  • Death has no companion
  • The spirit is forced to yield
  • There goes the bandolero
  • Through the hole in the wall
  • He's a coward but doesn't care though
  • In fact, he doesn't care at all
  • The general that's commanding
  • He's defending what he fears
  • While the troops they are depending
  • On reinforcements from the rear
  • If God is in the heavens
  • How can this happen here?
  • In His name, they used the weapons
  • For the massacre
  • There is a point below zero
  • Where the sun can see the land
  • Six hundred unknown heroes
  • Lay dead in the sand
 
  • Think I'll just fall to pieces
  • If I don't find something else to do
  • This sadness never ceases
  • I'm still in love with you
  • My head, it keeps on reeling
  • It's got me in a crazy spin
  • Darling, darling, darling
  • Is this the end?
  • Still in love with you
  • They say time has a way of healing
  • Dries all the tears from your eyes
  • But darling it's this empty feeling
  • My heart can't disguise
  • After all that we've been through
  • I try my best but it's no use
  • I guess I'll keep on loving you
  • Is this the end?
  • Now that it's all over, woman
  • There's something I think you should know
  • Baby, baby, think it over
  • Just one more time before you go
  • Call on me baby
  • If there's anything I can do for you
  • Call on me baby
  • Help me see it through
  • I'm still in love with you
 
  • Johnny the Fox he called to Jimmy the Weed
  • He said "Hey man, I know your name"
  • I seen you cruising with the low riders
  • Hanging out down on First street and Main
  • Tuned into and listen to the Hoodoo Rhythm Devils
  • Around the Bay
  • They've got some crazy DJs
  • Send you right out to heaven
  • Jimmy the Weed for greed was taken aback
  • Johnny the Fox you old sly cat
  • Cleverly the Fox concealed his stash
  • Crisp dollar bills leave no tracks
  • In the back of a black cadillac
  • The voodoo music travels
  • Down Skid Row only black men can go
  • The shady deal unravels
  • Johnny the Fox, hot to hustle
  • Jimmy the Weed won't use no muscle
  • that cat's so sly, slick and subtle
  • Johnny the Fox breaks out the bottle
  • Tuned into and listening to
  • The voodoo music travels
  • The beating drum for the lonely one
  • Sends you out to heaven
 
  • I am just a cowboy lonesome on the trail
  • A starry night, a campfire light
  • The coyote call, the howling winds wail
  • So I ride out to the old sundown
  • I am just a cowboy lonesome on the trail
  • Lord, I'm just thinking about a certain female
  • The nights we spent together riding on the range
  • Looking back it seems so strange
  • Roll me over and turn me around
  • Let me keep spinning till I hit the ground
  • Roll me over and let me go
  • Running free with the buffalo
  • I was took in Texas I did not know her name
  • Lord, all these southern girls seem the same
  • Down below the border in a town in Mexico
  • I got my job busting broncs for the rodeo
  • Roll me over and turn me around
  • Let me keep spinning till I hit the ground
  • Roll me over and let me go
  • Riding in the rodeo
  • Roll me over and set me free
  • The cowboy's life is the life for me
 
  • Guess who just got back today?
  • Those wild-eyed boys that had been away
  • Haven't changed, haven't much to say
  • But man, I still think those cats are great
  • They were asking if you were around
  • How you was, where you could be found
  • I told them you were living downtown
  • Driving all the old men crazy
  • The boys are back in town
  • You know the chick that used to dance a lot
  • Every night she'd be on the floor shaking what she'd got
  • Man when I tell you she was cool, she was red hot
  • I mean she was steaming
  • That night over at Johnny's place
  • Well this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face
  • Man we just fell about the place
  • If that chick don't want to know, forget her
  • Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
  • Down at Dino's bar and grill
  • The drink will flow and blood will spill
  • If the boys want to fight, you'd better let them
  • That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song
  • The nights are getting warmer, it won't be long
  • It won't be long till summer comes
  • Now that the boys are here again
  • The boys are back in town
 
  • Don't believe me if I tell you
  • Not a word of this is true
  • Don't believe me if I tell you
  • Especially if I tell you that I'm in love with you
  • Don't believe me if I tell you
  • That I wrote this song for you
  • There might be some other silly pretty girl
  • I'm singing it to
  • Don't believe a word
  • For words are only spoken
  • Your heart is like a promise
  • Made to be broken
  • Don't believe a word
  • Words can tell lies
  • And lies are no comfort
  • When there's tear in your eyes
  • Don't believe me if I tell you
  • Not a word of this is true
  • Don't believe me if I tell you
  • Especially if I tell you that I'm in love with you
  • Don't believe a word
 
  • I am the warrior
  • I serve the death machine
  • Losers or conquerors
  • All flash past on my silver screen
  • Death is no easy answer
  • For those who wish to know
  • Ask those who have been before you
  • What fate the future holds
  • It ain't pretty...
  • I am a messenger
  • The message here, you must know
  • I am the warrior
  • I deliver the fatal blow
  • So fate will have to wait
  • Till time can heal the scar
  • My heart is ruled by Venus
  • And my head by Mars
 
  • The paper called it suicide
  • A bullet from a forty-five
  • Nobody cared and nobody cried
  • Don't that make you feel sad?
  • Peter Brent combed his hair
  • And sent for the police
  • Policeman came, took Peter's name
  • God, may he rest in peace
  • No one saw the note beside the body
  • No one knew the problems
  • But my God
  • Suicide
  • The body remains unidentified
  • Forgotten in a file
  • Like the letter that was blown aside
  • Don't that make you want to smile?
  • No one was really satisfied
  • About number eighty-one
  • The autopsy proved that Peter lied
  • But they never could find the gun
  • No one saw the note beside the body
  • No one knew the problems
  • But my God
  • Suicide
 
  • I said, "Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, ooh baby, baby, baby..."
  • Baby drives me crazy
  • Baby drives me crazy
  • Crazy about you baby
  • Baby drives me crazy
  • We're a little bit crazy
  • Aren't we baby?
  • Sugar with the sweet night
  • Sugar with the midnight
  • Sweet on you sugar
  • Love a little true love
  • Sweet on you honey
  • I said, "Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, b-b-b-baby, b-b-b-b-b-b-b-baby"
  • I said, "Baby! Baby!"
 
  • I am your main man if you're looking for trouble
  • I'll take no lip 'cause no ones tougher than me
  • If I kicked your face you'd soon be seeing double
  • Hey little girl, keep your hands off me 'cause I'm a rocker
  • I love to rock and roll
  • I get my records from the Rock On stall
  • Sweet rock and roll
  • Teddy boy, he's got them all
  • Down at the juke joint me and the boys were stompin'
  • Bippin' an a boppin', telling a dirty joke or two
  • In walked this chick and I knew she was up to something
  • I kissed her right there out of the blue
  • I said "Hey baby, meet me I'm a tough guy"
  • Got my cycle outside, you wanna try?
  • She just looked at me and rolled them big eyes
  • And said "Ooh I'd do anything for you 'cause you're a rocker"
  • That's right I'm a rocker
  • I love to rock and roll
  • I get my records from the Rock On stall
  • Sweet rock and roll
  • Teddy boy, he's got them all
