Alive and Screaming
Live - 1986 - Debaser id 180952

Y'all know about sixty-nine
Burnin' bones and bedside time
Once again we meet tonight
Get that touch of a magical light

We're gonna hit it
We're gonna kick it
We're gonna break out through the ice
You give us fever
You give us sweat
You're gonna make us live it twice
Tonight long stick goes boom
Tonight long stick goes boom

The time is right for a ride tonight
To be with you I'd risk a fight
My stick is tight, my blood is hot
Let's do it here, right on the spot

We're gonna hit it
We're gonna kick it
We're gonna break out through the ice
You give us fever
You give us sweat
You're gonna make us live it twice
Tonight long stick goes boom
Tonight long stick goes boom

I've been down, I've been beat
I've been tossed into the street
Beggin' nickels, beggin' dimes
Just to get my bottle of wine

Some say life she's a lady
Kinda soft, kinda shady
I can tell you life is rich
She's no lady, she's a bitch

They suck my body out
But friend there is no doubt
I'm gonna pay the devil his dues
Cause I'm sick of being abused

Eat the rich, eat the rich
Don't you know life is a bitch
Eat the rich, eat the rich
Out of the palace and into the ditch

Steal my money, steal my car
Took my woman and my old guitar
Runnin' crazy, runnin' wild
Blind alley in my mind

Just can't fight the temptation
It's become my inspiration
Gonna get myself an axe
Break some heads, break some backs

They suck my body out
But friend there is no doubt
I'm gonna pay the devil his dues
Cause I'm sick of being abused

Eat the rich, eat the rich
Don't you know life is a bitch
Eat the rich, eat the rich
Out of the palace and into the ditch

Don't stop me

Eat the rich, eat the rich
Don't you know life is a bitch
Eat the rich, eat the rich
Out of the palace and into the ditch

Eat the rich, eat the rich
Don't you know life is a bitch
Eat the rich, eat the rich
Out of the palace and into the ditch

Out of the palace and into the ditch

They suck my body out

Sons of vengeance, can you rescue me
They got me tied up to a woe tree
They had me screamin' and alone in the night
I'm beginning to see what's wrong and what is right
What is wrong and what is right, oh, what is wrong and what is right

The gates was gettin' rusty, as we sailed into the dark
The stars were out and shinin' against the moonlit hour
The wolves were out and howlin', most of the time
And I was cold and shiverin' and bleedin' in the night
Bleedin' in the night, oh, bleedin' in the night

Screaming in the night, fighting for my life, I'd die for you
I knew it all along, headed for the sun, our love was true (our love was true)
Screaming in the night, fighting for my life, I'd die for you
I knew it all along, headed for the sun, our love was true, oh

In the corner of the valley, we took him by surprise
The sound of steel rang loud, above the battle cries
I found her lying lifeless, dagger through her heart
I picked her up, and held her high, and I swore to be avenged
Swore to be avenged, oh swore to be avenged, oh

Screaming in the night, fighting for my life, I'd die for you
I knew it all along, headed for the sun, our love was true (our love was true)
Screaming in the night, fighting for my life, I'd die for you
I knew it all along, headed for the sun, our love was true, oh
Screaming in the night, fighting for my life, I'd die for you, oh
I knew it all along, headed for the sun, our love was true (our love)
Screaming in the night, fighting for my life, I'd die for you, oh
I knew it all along, headed for the sun, our love was true, oh

Did you read it in the paper
'Bout the danger comin' your way
She'll tear you up at midnite
Killer on the loose get out of her way

Sex machine terrorizin' dream
Lock the door tonite
She's got it all she can walk thru a wall
Better run for your life

And in the light of day
In hidin' she will stay
Watch out at midnite
Feel her shadow on your face

Midnite maniac: she's a killer at large
Midnite maniac: lock your door
Cause she can't be far

Did you hear it on the radio
Crimes of passion makin' the news
It happened after midnite
In your neighborhood could've been you

Sex machine terrorizin' dream
Lock the door tonite
She's got it all she can walk thru a wall
Better run for your life

And in the light of day
In hidin' she will stay
Watch out at midnite
Feel her shadow on your face

Midnite maniac: she's a killer at large
Midnite maniac: lock your door
Cause she can't be far

Midnite maniac: she's a killer at large
Midnite maniac: lock your door
She knows where you are

Midnite maniac: she's a killer at large
Midnite maniac: lock your door
Cause she can't be far

Midnite maniac: she's a killer at large
Midnite maniac: lock your door
She knows where you are

The show is over you got to go home again
Late in the night you're dreamin' of the guitar man
The radio station plays his latest song
It says your way of life is kinda wrong

Do you hear your bedside radio
Do you hear your bedside radio

You wake up early in the morning to the radio news
But in your blood is still this dose of blues, yeah
The sound of the band has turned you upside down
Instead of going to the office you're leavin' town

Do you hear your bedside radio
Do you hear your bedside radio

Do you hear your bedside radio
Do you hear your bedside radio
Do you hear your bedside radio
Do you hear your bedside radio

Turn it on
Turn it on
Turn it on

Aaahhh

I am the animal
My god, I am the beast
I love to see you bleed
So welcome to my feast
We're serving human flesh
To keep you satisfied
With every bloody bite you eat
Another's going to die

Aaahhh

Don't give me politics
Don't give me public schools
Just keep the cops and t.v. police
From breaking all the rules
I am the raging bull
No fear, No Sympathy
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
That's my cup of tea

Ooohhh

Feel the heat
Throw your bodies into the fire
Time to feed
Headhunter
Headhunter
Headhunter
Headhunter aahh

My axe is clean and soft
and blade is shining bright
She's hungry for her midnight snack
And heads will roll tonight
I am the hunter
Not easy to please
Stand in line, she cures their lust
Victims on their knees aahh

Chorus

Headhunter
Headhunter
Headhunter
Headhunter
Headhunter
Aaaaaahhhhhh
Headhunter
