Minus Zero

Ula models for top magazines
See her smile in her pink limousine
Queen of lipstick, shampoo and suncreams,
She's the fun of every man's dreams
She thinks she's ooh-la-la,
But she's just la-de-da

Minus zero

Flies to Rio when Rio is sunny
Never sweats,'cause she stands in the shade
She's a honey, and brings in the money
Works for pleasure, but always gets paid
She oozes sex appeal,
But she just isn't real

Hustler

You could scratch my itch
If you were a little bolder,
You could be my bitch
If you were a little older,
I could make you rich
If you had a warmer shoulder.
First I turned the switch,
And then I rock and rolled her

Hustler,
I'm just a hustler, I'm just a hustler,
I'm just a hustler.
Did you think I would stay 'til tomorrow ?
Did you think I'd repay what I borrowed ?

You could be my key
If you knew my combination,
You could come with me
If you knew my destination,
I could set you free if you had imagination.
I didn't let her see my cold premeditation.

Hustler,
I'm just a hustler, I'm just a hustler,
I'm just a hustler.
Did you think I would stay 'til tomorrow ?
Did you think I'd repay what I borrowed ?
Did you think I would care
About your sorrow ?

I'm just, I'm just a hustler.

Hero

You are a hero, you are a god;
The crowd is always with you,
Waiting for your nod.
The morning papers always
Have something to say,
The stakes are very high
In the game you want to play.

You touch the button
With your trembling hand;
The castles you are building
Are made of sand.

You walk on water,
You play with fire;
You'll lose the game you're playing,
Unless the stakes go higher.
You know exactly when
Things could go too far,
But no one seems to wonder
Who you really are.

You touch the button
With your trembling hand;
The castles you are building
Are made of sand.
They're made of sand.

Records that you play
Go on without you;
Things are moving fast,
What can you do ?
Give the wheel another spin
In your tower
Make it look like things are still
In your power.

You touch the button
With your trembling hand;
The castles you are building
Are made of sand.
They're made of sand.

The Zoo that Has No Keeper

My throat is bare, there's a sense of danger;
I feel a hand,
And the hand is strange.
The hand is dead,
Red blood on my hand;
And as you die,
I don't feel your pain.

Where am I now ?
What is this crowd -
Of creatures all around me ?
What can I do inside the zoo
The zoo that has no keeper ?

The dogs of war score and reassemble;
Their fangs go deep;
Sleep is blind to pain.
I feel their breath,
Death is no stranger;
The vulture soars,
Claws tear out my eyes.

Where am I now ?
What is this crowd -
Of creatures all around me ?
What can I do inside the zoo
The zoo that has no keeper ?

There's no way out of this jungle
Just no way out of this jungle.

Outside my door four men are waiting;
They have the same names,
But no one knows;
The light goes out,
I shout, but no one hears me;
I feel a hand,
And the hand is strange.

Where am I now ?
What is this crowd -
Of creatures all around me ?
What can I do inside the zoo
The zoo that has no keeper ?

Be Good

Didn't want to make trouble,
I just wanted to try and see
If I could burst your bubble;
'Cause you looked so nice to me.
When I touched you, you shivered,
But I thought things would be OK
Thought I'd drown in your river,
But you had something else to say:

"You shouldn't be naughty,
You shouldn't be so bad"
"You shouldn't be naughty,
You shouldn't get up to no good"

Didn't think that you meant it,
So i gave you another squeeze
Didn't think you'd resent it,
But you kept on saying to me:

"You shouldn't be naughty,
You shouldn't be so bad"
"You shouldn't be naughty,
You shouldn't get up to no good"

"You're so bad" is all you can tell me
"Be a good boy" is all you can say
"Don't be wicked" is all you keep saying
"Don't be naughty that way!"

Didn't want to make trouble,
I just wanted to play some games
Needed someone to cuddle,
But you kept on saying the same:

"You shouldn't be naughty,
You shouldn't be so bad"
"You shouldn't be naughty,
You shouldn't get up to no good"

Do, Do

You take no notice of the words I say
Of the words I say
Whose generation is it anyway ?
Just because the words that you hear
Come from yesterday
Doesn't mean that they don't mean the same,
They still mean the same, still the same

Do, do, do you realize that things just haven't changed ?
Do, do, do you recognize Jumping Jack Flash in pain ?

It doesn't matter if the cap won't fit, wear it anyway
Simple things that you used to say
Didn't fade away
Times are changing, but they're still the same
I still can't explain
Twenty years or more have come and gone
Life is still a pain, still a pain

Do, do, do you realize that things just haven't changed?
Do, do, do you recognize Jumping Jack Flash in pain?

Someone's 'round the Corner

Someone's 'round the corner
Someone's dying in the garden
Someone's turning on the heat
Someone's life is getting shorter
I can touch, but I can't see

Stranger

Sometimes I've just had enough
And I feel that life is kinda tough
Maybe I could work it out
But there's nothing that I care about

I'm just a stranger
I'm just a stranger here; no one near
I'm just a stranger
I'm just a stranger here; I live in fear

Sometimes someone says to me
You need love and maybe sympathy
Maybe I could find my way
But there's no one that I love today

I'm just a stranger
I'm just a stranger here; no one near
I'm just a stranger
I'm just a stranger here; I live in fear

My Kilimanjaro

The lights go down again
The end of one more show
Groupies gather 'round again
I wonder what they want
Someone says "let's have a party"
I guess I'll have to go
The things that I do for
The sake of Rock'n'Roll

This life is killing me
Kilimanjaro is where I'd like to be
Kilimanjaro - the air is cool and sweet
Kilimanjaro - no one to bother me
Kilimanjaro

I wake up feeling bad
In some new stranger's arms
Who are you ? What's your name ?
Do you like to dance ?
Last night is hanging over
Right into today
She says she used to pray,
But someone stole her pants!

This life is killing me
Kilimanjaro is where I'd like to be
Kilimanjaro - the air is cool and sweet
Kilimanjaro - no one to bother me
Kilimanjaro
