You can dance through the night Rock n roll music itching to fight Makin' love drunk or stoned Lookin' for dollars Get broken-boned It's a game too tough to tame Ends up the same Sweatin' out the rain I was trapped like a fly on the wall I was caged like a zoo animal No escape from the fate that you make You're a snake, I've had all I can take Watch out, there's a fly on the wall Take a chance, take a bite Rock n roll devil, take me tonight Like a bitch makin' heat Beatin' on my chest Lickin' at my feet It's a game too tough to tame Ending up the same Sweatin' in the rain So watch out, there's a fly on the wall I was trapped like a fly on the wall I was caged like a zoo animal No escape from the fate that you make You're a snake, I've had all I can take There's a fly on the wall
