Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
From where we're standing we can feel the heat What I'm saying to you now you don't never repeat Everybody on the rocks tonight They do a thing without a name you know it just ain't right. (I say) The lights are going out now ten at a time See you floating like a fish washed away in the tide Gonna sizzle like fat burning up in the fire You know the Devil Himself getting over the wire. Well all God's children got their dubious side And it's deep and dirty and it's real real wide Well the Alligator Woman and her sister made three I tell you Johnny Weissmuller is the man for me (I say) The lights are going out now ten at a time See you floating like a fish washed away in the tide Gonna sizzle like fat burning up in the fire You know the Devil Himself getting over the wire. Well all of them bitching as the coffin goes down "He didn't do nothin' special did He, this time around?" Then John Paul Getty in the form of a dove Says you only ever answer to the Butcher of Love (I say) The lights are going out now ten at a time See you floating like a fish washed away in the tide Gonna sizzle like fat burning up in the fire You know the Devil Himself getting over the wire.
