Everywhere I go, everyone I see,
knows the secret languishing down inside of me.
A change of scene could be the key,
go to the cupboard, take out the bottle and splash it all over me.
But it's Transylvanian Perfume swirling round,
release the beast that hides behind your brow.
Transylvanian Perfume drink it in,
it's the musk of lust as it'll take you up where you've never ever been.
It's duty free,
it's real scary.
It's a magnet glue,
it's the stuff for you .. this stuff is tough !
Ply 'em with a drink to get 'em hooked,
I'm an evil essence, no odour clone, I can't be overlooked.
Watch 'em for a while I gotta' choose,
the night is young, the moon is bright an' I got my blue suede shoes.
You were twenty five when you split the scene,
why did you have to go away ?
Prospects were good, you had money to burn,
but you had the curse of the 'J'.
Now the skulls they're piling up,
and it's sure bad evidence.
Just use your head when you're getting wrecked,
and do it with elegance.
You're hearing screams,
you're hearing screams,
living dreams for the last time.
A lizard man with an arctic soul,
and a skin of leather hide.
Drank himself into the ground,
rotted from the inside.
Now Johnny B he was real good,
sounded like a thunder clap.
Lived too fast died too young,
just another in that trap.
You're dancing to the death,
you're dancing to the death.
Taking your last breath,
dancing to the death.
I've been guilty too, I ain't so pure,
you get a little bit, you just want more.
Go on destroying what little we got,
two steps forward three steps back.
In this crazy world you get no chances,
no-one bothers with the new dances.
Gotta get on with the pain of living,
don't look for handouts there's none been given.
It's easier to hate than to understand,
it's easier to hate than to understand.
A clenched fist or an open hand,
it's easier to hate than to understand.
Confusion reigns in vicious circles,
too much violence too many hurdles.
Peace of mind isn't much to ask for,
hangs in the air like burnin' sulphur.
There's carrots dangling everwhere,
the price you pay for a livin' nightmare.
The stench of death in every nation,
decay, disillusion and desperation.
.. sanity's just a state of mind
You're getting under my skin,
the places that you've been.
You're dishing out the dirt,
and sure know how to hurt.
But you're going nowhere ya missing the whole damn point,
lighten up, lighten up and we'll rip the joint.
You're makin' whips, makin whips for your own back,
makin' whips, makin' whips you're gonna' crack,
makin' whips, makin whips.
Your empty headed dreams,
just like an old smoke screen.
You stand behind your spite,
don't know what's wrong or right.
Now it's grating on my nerves,
your twisting body swerves.
Got a self-inflicted bruise,
got rubber bumper blues.
Remove the thorns from your crown,
feel it when the whip comes down.
Feel depressed, walking home,
could have used a megaphone.
Inanimate objects getting me down,
mechanical failures all around.
I shot the Marshall,
in self-defence.
I shot the Marshall,
got no regrets.
It shouldn't look at me that way,
yeah, killed that amp.
Only works when I'm close to it,
walk away it'll have a fit.
Hand pocket, pull out a fiver,
pay the guy with a screwdriver.
But it did it once too often,
put that amp in a coffin.
Got my Walther P.P.K,
"Go ahead amp make my day".
The judge was fair on my case,
Said "Go home boy get back to base".
"Don't smash things up just be cool ..
learn electronics at night school".
Sittin' in my darkened room, got nothing else to do.
Tune into my radio, but there's nothing coming through.
Luxemburg has lost the call, Brussels is nowhere.
Moscow's just a crackle now, I guess they're not on air.
All my life I've been listening,
now I wanna' shout.
Electricity through space,
Electricity through space.
Electricity through space,
.. saving grace of the human race.
My speakers need some maintenance, the wires are all messed up,
but my operating manual says "Give it back to us".
I turn it up to maximum, still my ears don't bleed,
it can't put out the power with no signal to receive.
It's a vital source of communication, exploit it to the full.
Compared with foreign counterparts, I find it rather dull.
It's not for the minorities, the heads will never sway.
The only decent radio is in the U.S.A.
