    Jailbait

    Take me, take me...

    Take it or a-leave it on a saturday night
    And what you see is what you get so give me a bite
    Here are lots of ladies, they are so insecure
    Leave it to the boys and the fool on the hill

    Hello baby, yeah it's me
    There'll be no judge, no third degree no Jailbait
    Play the fool and you play the punk
    Wake up babe, I'm a-don't know Jailbait

    I believe in someone talkin'
    Can't let go you don't get hold no Jailbait
    What it is, but you believe it
    What you got, got up the sleeve and Jailbait

    (Look here!)
    Oh, J-j-j-Jailbait
    Oh, J-j-j-Jailbait
    Oh, J-j-j-j-Jailbait

    Take it, leave it, roll the dice
    You're hard as hell, I'm cold as ice no Jailbait
    Tell your daddy how you do me
    Put the woodcheck, do it to me Jailbait
    What you see in daddy's eyes
    Check the boys, no surprise no Jailbait

    Oh, J-j-j-Jailbait
    Oh, J-j-j-j-j-j-Jailbait
    Oh, J-j-j-Jailbait
    Oh, J-j-j-Jailbait
    Oh, J-j-j-j-j-Jailbait

    Do me, do you, tell me what you see in me too
    Do me, do you

    I ain't complainin' the Bitch's Brew
    There's a lover who never knew she's Jailbait
    Steep the chase, call the sweat
    You steep the feet, oh gracer bed, oh Jailbait

    Oh, J-j-j-j-j-Jailbait
    Oh, J-j-j-j-j-Jailbait
    Oh, J-j-j-j-j-j-Jailbait
    J-j-j-j-j-j-j
    Oh, J-j-j-j-Jailbait....

    Lightning Strikes

    The boys and Dukes are ready to rumble
    The word on the street some heads are gonna tumble
    Blades gonna flash when the street gangs clash
    In this avenue tonight

    When the lightning strikes

    Zip gun Johnny's finger is itchin'
    Oh the lid's gonna blow up in hell's kitchen
    It's an eye for an eye
    And a tooth for a tooth
    They're so ruthless when they fight

    When the lightning strikes...Oooooh

    And it's a free for all in the parking lot
    Tell me who will rule the street
    And the night explodes
    When the cops bring down the heat

    And the chains they crash like thunder
    While the weak ones all retreat
    Gotta draw first blood
    Or they'll read your funeral rights

    When the lightning strikes

    Uum...it's dog eat dog when you're meetin' your rival
    In the combat zone it's a means of survival
    Gonna get last licks on a suicide blitz
    On a cloak and dagger night

    When the lightning strikes

    Oooh...it's a free for all in the parking lot
    Over who'll rule the street
    And the night explodes
    When the cops bring down the heat

    And the chains they crash like a thunder
    While the weak ones all retreat
    Gotta draw first blood
    Or they'll read your funeral rights

    Oooh, oooh...

    When the lightning strikes
    When the lightning strikes
    When the lightning strikes
    Can'tcha hear the thunder
    When the Lightning Strikes
    Can'tcha hear the thunder
    When the lightning strikes
    Can'tcha, can'tcha, can'tcha hear the thunder
    When the lightning strikes
    Can'tcha, can'tcha, can'tcha hear the thunder
    When the lightning strikes
    Can'tcha, can'tcha, can'tcha hear the thunder
    When the lightning strikes
    Can'tcha, can'tcha, can'tcha hear the thunder
    When the lightning strikes

    And now you just walked away
    So take it away, all the way

    Bolivian Ragamuffin

    Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag
    You gotta dance to the tune of Bolivian Ragamuffin
    Out take's short breaks
    Love her 'til the earth quakes

    Stand on the seashore lookin' at the city
    See the street light, dog bite your lady on the titty
    At the wax museum everybody cares to see themselves
    As others care to see you but nobody wants to be you baby

    Corn bread, cabbage head
    Try and get a side of me
    Hold my pickle, hold your lettuce
    Special orders don't upset us

    Kickstand face, looks so evil like knieval
    Never make third base like a tongue in my old lady
    Like a squatez vous and a domo arigato
    Tip my hat to you rock a roller obbligatto

    Stage show come in stride, smoke a bone i'm feelin' fine
    Girls in heat will try and get us
    Hash in bones won't upset us

    He need cash....Kick in the pants
    Wantin' for....Gotta dance
    Say it ahh....To you to give us the chance

    Ain't gonna do it...ain't gonna do it
    Ain't gonna do it...ain't gonna do it
    Ain't gonna do it...ain't gonna do it
    Ain't gonna do it...ain't gonna do it
    Ain't gonna do it...ain't gonna do it
    And then sounds that only the "man" Steven Tyler can make!

    Cry Me a River

    Now you say you're lonely
    You cried the whole night through
    Well you can cry me a river, cry me a river
    I cried a river over you

    Now you say you're sorry
    For being so untrue
    Well you can cry me a river, cry me a river
    I cried a river over you

    Now you say you're sorry
    For being so untrue
    Well you can cry me a river, cry me a river
    I cried a river over you

    You drove me in and drove me out of my head
    While you never shed a tear
    Remember, I remember all that you said
    You told me love was to come in
    This moment you was, you were...you were

    Now you say you love me
    Well, just to prove you do
    Come on and cry me a river, cry me a river
    I cried a river over you
    I cried a river over you
    I cried a river over...
    (yah yah, yeah, yah yah, yeah...)

    Prelude to Joanie

    At first we three thought
    'Twas the biblical cord of life
    The noticing 'twas connected to his head
    How strange, not to believed
    I reached out to feel and the pony's eyes opened
    The cord got hard, the head looked around
    And you know who pushed and gushed
    The waters of life
    First two hooved feet, then the shine of his fur
    But at first to my eyes only
    Feather feathers wings
    The butterflies flew up in such colors
    Exploding all around us
    The rest I did not notice 'til there he stood
    All eyes in wonder
    Who me
    Who you
    Look

    Joanie's Butterfly

    In water still
    The night I met the pony
    It was so dark that I could hardly see
    It smelled so sweet you know who and Joanie
    So many butterflies one could not see

    We all could feel desire
    Took off in flight
    It was hotter than fire
    Then came the light

    Oooh, oooh
    Oooh, ah, now smell the heat
    The dancing pony unwrapped his wings
    To dry off Joanie
    The pony he grew in size
    In thunder and rain
    And finally realized
    A what he was and what he does
    And what he couldn't say

    And left to kiss the cheek of Mother Nature
    Nobody here can be denied such things
    Make the ladies you love, come honey
    No butterfly should be denied it's wings

    He were a kick ass rocking horse
    He like a hell bent tied to the Gavin Pole
    It was a one time fantasy
    I got the bare bones, fly into the Holy Land
    Bare back, flyin' like a ruddered man
    Nightmares, and he can't hold a candle to my dreams
    Yeah...yeah

    We rode the night
    And took to wing
    It was so alright
    It was everything
    We flew into burning skies
    The thunder and rain
    And finally realized
    What he is and what he does
    And what he couldn't say

    Oh, no, no...
    Took off in flight
    Oh, no, no...
    Then came the light

    Flashback, something coming over me
    No sweat, one time fantasy
    Bare boned, and all that is the wind it seems
    Hell, who's the chick
    That rides into my dreams

    No livery
    No stable lights
    No try to please
    Nobody's eyes
    We'll never see us again
    In time it'll pass
    And where did it all begin
    But all in good time
    Somebody shot an arrow

    Now tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me never
    Wakin' me 'cause you're cold somtimes
    Being seduced will be your own pleasures
    What be his muse may be what he must find

    He was a kick ass rocking horse
    He was a one horned, unicornucopia
    Two, two in Utopia
    Three star, verge into infinity
    Four...(four)
    Four...(four)
    Na na na na na
    Oooh, oooh...

    Putting the ring around the rose n' pull the daisy chain
    Cover your head and tell me you ain't from there and back again

    Smiling like a cheshire cat

    Give a good one I want to be or not to be tonight
    Why should I hold her down in bed when you should ride me right
    Want you to give it all you got, no need to make a mends
    Cover your little mouth come up for air
    I got the bends
    Oooh, close your eyes and what do you see
    Oooh, nothing but how you will live with your only belief in me

    She was a real top manner
    Lies and no conniver
    Heart pumpin' floozy
    Late night driver
    Her second hand clothes
    Smiling like a cheshire cat
