In the Devil's Playground
With an Idol mind
Straight up, ready to go
Announce the time

Does he still have the magic?
Yes he does
He'll be famous
Just because
Just because

You know you're gonna have
To turn around
Just because you have to change
Your mind sometimes
Yeah, you're gonna have to
Turn around
Ride my rocket

Lyrics[Chorus:]
Round and round
And round we go
One time before I die
Round and round and
Round the world
In super overdrive
See the world through a little hole
See it fly by
Here I am in super overdrive
Super overdrive
Super overdrive

I'm slidin' on the swings
I'm swingin' on the slides, I'm alive
Fuel-injected, passion-erected, death-defied
One day it's gonna come, boy
You're gonna pay
That ain't today ridin' on the Milky Way
On the Milky Way

You know you're gonna have
To turn around
Just because you have to change
Your mind sometimes
Yeah you're gonna have to
Turn around
Bite the bullet

[Chorus]

1,2,3,4

Well in the devil's playground
With an Idol mind
Straight up, ready to go
Announce the time

Does he still have the magic?
Yes he does
He'll be famous
Just because
Just because

Round and round and round we go
One time before I die
Round and round and
Round the world
In super overdrive

[Chorus]

Here I am in super overdrive
Here I am in super overdrive
Here I am in super overdrive

Super overdrive
[Repeat]

For the kids in the schools
And the teachers are fools
And you just want to break

Well you're close to the edge
And you're pissed at your work
And the boss is a jerk

From promises to preacher
And nothing is Nietzche
And I can't stand the church

I can have my opinion
And I don't want to win ya
Now I just have to work... alright!

[Chorus:]
I feel the whole world comin'
Down on me
LyricsI feel the whole world comin'
Down on me

Well the judge and the jury
They thought they could school me
And teach me the value of thrift

They put me inside on a one ta five
And I just had to quit
Well early in the morning
When we are balling
I nearly had a fit
It came to my head
And I just had to say
Ain't gonna be nobody's bitch

[Chorus]

Comin' down
Down on me
It's comin' down
It's comin' down, down, down on me

There's only one thing
That I can do now
Go lie in the sun
I want to soak up the rays
And burn myself black
'Cos cancer day has come
And everything you do
To protect yourself
Well it ain't gonna happen right
You junky pimps
And Mother-fucking whores
Enjoy yourself tonight... alright!

[Chorus]

Comin' down
Down on me
It's comin' down
It's comin' down, down, down on me

Comin' down
Down on me
It's comin' down
It's comin' down, down, down
I feel the whole world
Comin' down, comin' down on me
I feel the whole world
Comin' down, comin' down on me
I feel the whole world
Comin' down, comin' down on me
I feel the whole world
Comin' down!

Down on me
It's comin' down
It's comin' down, down, down on me

(Billy Idol/Steve Stevens)

Wake me from my sleep
A cautionary tale
A walk in infancy
A way to derail
I wanted only you
The walls are falling down

And somebody says
Ah give a little love,
Give a little love
But take your time

Somebody sighs
Yes, give a little love,
Give a little love
But take your time

[Chorus:]
A private life
LyricsC'mon no
I said livin'
Gets to be
Just like a rate race
Rat race
C'mon
I'm a -read between the lines
Fierce struggle
A natural one
A tough job
Gets to be
Just like a rate race
Rate race
C'mon I'm a locked up in myself

Check before rising
Check before we work
Childproof the scene
No screams can be heard
The roof is caving in
The space between our hearts
The walls are falling down

And somebody says
Ah give a little love,
Give a little love
Take your time

Somebody sighs
Yes, give a little love,
Give a little love
But take your time

[Chorus]

It's a rat, it's a rat, it's a rat race
It's a rat, it's a rat race
It's a rat, it's a rat, it's a rat race
It's a rat, it's a rat race

Aah life
Living in a rat race
C'mon

Hmm, life
Are you living in a rat race?
C'mon
Here inside yourself

[Chorus 2x]

I'm locked up in myself
I'm locked up in myself

(Billy Idol)

[Chorus:]
Come home, it's a brand new day
Come home, my Sherri, Sherri runaway
Come on, there's a devil to pay
Come home, my Sherri, Sherri runaway

Sheri's on the run
'Cos no one seems to listen
There's something deep inside
Heartfelt that she's missing
They are no in your shoes
They are no you
Poor fools

You know it's a world of confusion
All usin' and self-abusin'
So...

[Chorus]
Lyrics
"When I'm out having fun
The whole world seems to glisten"
She said
"There's a fire going on
The choppers ain't detecting"
She said
"We have such simple views"
So I must see inside of you
Now that my world is changing
C'mon back, I should be celebrating
So...

[Chorus]

Duckin' in and out
Hiding from authority
Sittin' in a wayside home
I said come back to me

Duckin' in and out
Hiding from authority
Sittin' in a wayside home
I said come back to me

[Chorus]

This is a day in a life as it happens
Play by play, minute by minute
This is the way of life as it happens
Day by day, hour by hour

[Chorus]

Sherri runaway
Sherri runaway
Sherri runaway
Sherri run
Come home
There's a brand new
Brand new day

(Ed Rush/George Croarty)

I don't care if it
Rains or freezes
As long as I've got my
Plastic Jesus
Ridin' on the dashboard
Of my car

Through my trials
And tribulations
And my travels
Through the nation
With my plastic Jesus
I'll go far

Ridin' down the thoroughfare
With a nose up in the air
A wreck may be ahead
But he don't mind

LyricsTrouble comin'
He don't see
He just keeps his eye on me
And any other thing that lies behind

[Chorus:]
With my plastic Jesus
Goodbye and I'll go far
I said with my plastic Jesus
Sitting on the dashboard of my car

When I'm in a traffic jam
He don't care if I say damn
I can let all my curses roll

'Cos Jesus' plastic doesn't hear
'Cos he has a plastic ear
The man who invented plastic
Saved my soul

[Chorus]

An if I weave around at night
Policemen think I'm very tight
They never find my bottle
Though they ask

'Cos plastic Jesus shelters me
For his head comes off you see
He's hollow and I use him like a flask

Woa Woa Woa

Save me

I don't care if it's dark or scary
Long as I got magnetic Mary
Ridin' on the dashboard of my car

I feel that I'm protected amply
I've got the love of the whole damn family
Ridin' on the dashboard of my car

With my plastic Jesus
I said goodbye
And I'll go far

And I said with my plastic Jesus
I said sittin' on the dashboard of my car

[Outro:]
When I'm goin' fornicatin'
I've got my ceramic Satan
Sittin' on the dashboard of my car
Women know I'm on the level
Thanks to the wide-eyed stoneware devil
Sneerin' from the dashboard of my car

You can fill my cup
You can fill my bowl
This train is ready to roll
Your eyes of fire have stole my soul
Still coming back for more
You are the lock I am the key
Climb up my lemon tree
You are the one your on your knees
You are my little queen
You know just what I mean
Climb up my lemon tree

Make me scream
all night all night long
gonna get extreme
all night all night long
make me scream
all night all night long
gonna get obscene
all night all night long
all night all night long
Lyrics
Baby baby in the back of my car
look now you've gone too far
Have a slice of my lemon pie
One more will get you high
You wanna know you wanna see
how much you can squeeze
You are the one you are a tease
You love my demon seed
You know just what I mean
Climb on my lemon tree

Make me scream
All night all night long
Gonna get extreme
All night all night long
Make me scream
all night all night long
gonna get obscene
all night all night long
all night all night long

(suck it)

Whoa yeah!

You took me in the wild
No one around for miles
You ain't to proud to beg
Juice running down my leg

I wanna chick who makes me feel
mmm mmm closer dear
I want you to be free
I want you lovin me
I want to hear you scream
I want you just like me

Make me scream
All night all night long
Gonna get extreme
All night all night long
Make me scream
all night all night long
gonna get obscene
all night all night long
all night all night long

One more time now

Make me scream
You can make me scream oh yeah
Make me scream
all night all night long
gonna get obscene
all night all night long
all night all night long
Yeah!

(Billy Idol/Brian Tichy)

When I was a small boy
Here in London town
Seasons snow was falling on the ground
All the friends and family
Here on Christmas Eve
Gather round to dress
The Christmas tree
But daddy's down at the pub
Full of Christmas cheer
Probably won't come home
Until next year

[Chorus:]
Oh the Christmas bells are ringing
And the carolers are singing
But Daddy, he don't hear 'em
He's yellin' at the Christmas tree
Santa's balls are jingling
Mommy's hips a-wiggling
LyricsBut Daddy, he don't hear 'em
He's yellin, he's yellin'
At the Christmas tree

All right now yeah...

Uncle is a sports fan
Granny likes a joke
But no one laughs when
Daddy's stumbles home
But he don't fall asleep
Wah! The night was getting black

You see, oh God,
Dad had too much Jack
Oh Lord!

Every year is the same old thing
Like Rudolph's red nose
Telling this story will never get old

[Chorus]

Well alright now yeah...
Well alright now...
Yellin' at the Christmas tree

Santa came down the chimney
But then he ran upstairs
Jumped in bed with Mommy
She didn't care
Across the room went the fruitcakes
Ah, the wreath came off the door
If these are holidays I can take no more
Every year it's the same old thing
Like Rudolph's red nose
Hearing this story will never get old

[Chorus]

Santa's balls are jingling
Mommy's hips a-wiggling
But Daddy, he don't hear 'em
He's yellin'
He's yellin' at the Christmas tree

Well alright now yeah...

He's yellin' at the Christmas tree
He's yellin' at the Christmas tree
He's yellin' at the Christmas tree
He's sleeping it the Christmas tree

(Billy Idol/Steve Stevens)

Cocaine and innocence
And Romeo's waiting
Candies and sugar daddies
They never stop wasting your time
Time to dance to the top
With champagne indifference
And I sit salivating
If I could touch you there
Would you be liberated?
Ah yeah

[Chorus:]
I don't wanna be
Another enemy
Even though you make be bleed
Like a Kennedy

Not when my body's so exciting
Sometimes you make me
LyricsSo frustrated
How come it's me I end up hating?
Romeo's waiting
Romeo's waiting
Romeo's waiting
Romeo's waiting
And he don't wanna lose tonight

Blood on the dance floor
And Romeo's fainting
Showing pink and leather tonight
She's dancin' with fear in her eyes
Zero's no hero
But in his mind
He's Lancelot the Knight
And if his lady calls
It'll be so good
'Cos she'll be liberated

[Chorus]

Touch my body and it's so exciting
Sometimes you make me
So frustrated
How come it's me I end up hating?
Romeo's waiting
Romeo's waiting
Romeo's waiting

And he don't wanna lose tonight

Well the senses overload
To an L.A. strobe
Yeah, now you got him
Sweatin' he's the
Rebel that you know
Said I love that thing
God, I love ya heave-ho
Now you got him sweatin'
He's the rebel that you know
The rebel that you know
The rebel that you know
The rebel that you know

Sometimes you make me
So frustrated
How come it's me I end up hating?
Romeo's waiting

[Chorus]

Touch my body and it's so exciting
Romeo's waiting

[Chorus]

Touch my body and it's so exciting
Romeo's waiting
Romeo's waiting
Romeo's waiting now

(Billy Idol/Steve Stevens)

Full moon glow
Steals the light
When headless horsemen ride
In the distance hellhounds cry
And banshee wails arise
Turn your fear into fantasy
Concealing all the pain
You the victim of perfection
The dark side gets its way
The dark side gets its way

Ain't no use singing the blues
Ain't to one finding no clues
And you can't walk away
No stopping, no escape

[Chorus:]
Tired eyes you cannot fight
The body snatcher comes tonight
LyricsWired mind embraced the sight
The body snatcher comes tonight

Creeping shadows cross the walls
What are they trying to say?
Lucy Love died in this place
I've come to take you away
Turn the spirit when you sleep
And leave an empty space
I'm the demon of destruction
The gods have now been swayed
The gods have now been swayed

Ain't no use singing the blues
Ain't no one finding no clues
And you can't walk away
No stopping, no escape

[Chorus]

Well you cannot run you cannot hide
'Cos evil has its dark design
You cannot run you cannot hide
'Cos evil has its dark design

I have reason to believe
There's power in the signs
Look she turns ghostly grey
The dark one has arrived

[Chorus]

Well you cannot run you cannot hide
'Cos evil has its dark design

The body snatcher comes tonight
Yeah yeah yeah

Yeah you cannot run you cannot hide

Cos evil has its dark design

The body snatcher comes tonight

Ain't to use singing the blues
Ain't no one finding no clues
And you can't walk away
No stopping, no escape

(Billy Idol/Brian Tichy)

There wasn't a thing to say
As we drove past to the desert way
Through silent seas of sand
Feel time running through my hands
And the sun is burning bright
And the air says life is tight
And my brain says that someone dies
When she shows me the endless lies

[Chorus:]
And if you're asking why
She said look into the evil eye again
And if you're asking why
She said look into the evil eye again

When are you coming down?
Yes the world you see
Is spinning round
Days are short and lost and found
LyricsAnd the night is long
At the burial ground

[Chorus]

It's all the same
It's all for nothing?

It's all to blame
It's all for nothin'

In my mind the day is dry
The car of chrome reflects the sky
When she flies all I know my insides hear me cry

Skulls can grin
Vultures spin
Engines whirl
Life begins
Snakes to skin
Blood to drink
And all I know is life begins

[Chorus]

It's all the same
It's all for nothin'

It's all to blame
It's all for nothin'

It's all the same
It's all for nothin'

It's all to blame
It's all for nothin'

We stood on the ancient bones
With our sacrifice we atoned

For a world now lost in stone
Please come alive for us alone

There wasn't a thing to say
As we drove past to the desert way
Through silent seas of sand
Feel time running through my hands

(Billy Idol/Brian Tichy)

What it takes
It takes a dog to cry
What it takes a boy must die
What it takes sometime
Before midnight
What it takes
It takes a life

'Cos I was o' so young
Misshaped before my time
Ride metallic monsters
And there's mud in your eye
For lady do or die

It makes a woman bleed
Can't give her all her needs
Close the door before you leave
Can almost hear her breath
It's a shame "what you've become"
LyricsThe things I do for love
On this road tonight
Looking for her candlelight
For lady do or die
For lady do or die

Tumbleweed, passing by
Train whistle start to cry
More people start to die
I don't know why
God knows why

I wonder what it takes
To free someone
I wonder what it takes
Free you from your prison

Kings of the road keep travelin' on
Every mile a ragged woe
Kings on the road keep smiling on
Play the guitar and sing the blues and cry
Play the guitar and sing the blues and cry
Play the guitar and sing the blues and cry

For lady do or die
For lady do or die
For lady do or die
For lady do or die

For lady do or die
Play the blues and cry
For lady do or die
Play the guitar
For lady do or die
Sing, sing the blues and cry
For lady do or die...

(Billy Idol/Brian Tichy)

Like the moon moves the tides
You influence my mind
Like the planets and the stars
Keep the rhythm to your time
Are you happy with him?
Yes I let you go

[Chorus:]
Girl I love you
Cherie I love you so
Girl I love you
I was a fool to let you go

Like the alchemist
Who couldn't resist the devil's kiss
Base metal into gold
And the psychiatrist
Who's battling deep within his own soul
I was like them down the hole
Lyrics
[Chorus]

All the memories of your life
Like Venice in the spring
New York City summers
Paris, London winters' chill

[Chorus]

I love you so
Want you to know
I love you so

As the apples fall, the leaves turn
Make it too autumn's call
But you still know your way
Never be outdone at all
And if I falter I see it in our child

Girl I love you
Cherie I love you so
Girl I love you
No I won't let go

Girl I love you
Cherie I love you so
Girl I love you
No I can't let go

Girl I need your sunshine to feel alright
Girl I need your sunshine to feel alright

[Chorus]

We spent the summer running
Scared of what they might do
After we spent the winter crying
In the mist we came all unglued
Sometimes back to school
It seems so sad
And nothing’s new
Until I spent the summer running
Just we two
Just we two

I followed you to Zion
The four corners and the redwoods too
The Mesa in Arizona
The Grand Canyon and Las Vegas too
All the bad-brained people
One of these days we’ll run over you
And spend the summer running
Just we two
Just we two

LyricsI don’t walk
I run
Ridin’ into the sun
On my motorcycle
We can just blow
I don’t know
What’s ahead
We don’t talk of the dead
On my motorcycle
C’mon let’s go

‘Cos there’s always
There’s always
The world you know
The world you know

Well I wear a grim
Smile day after day, baby
As I’m working into our future

Oh yeah

And I take a quick drink
In a world that stinks, baby
‘Cos I’m standing up against the furies

Oh yeah

I can escape
I’ve got a Batman’s cape
And I can cover myself, and baby
Yes I’m flying
I’m flying
I’m flying tonight

Oh yeah

Just we two
Runnin’ down the highway
Smilin’ at the problems
‘Cos there’s always
There’s always
The world you know
The world you know

We spent the summer running
Just we two
Just we two
Just we two
