Dead Ringer lyrics

Everyday of my life they say the same old thing
Hey boy!-(oh boy)- you better wait your turn
And everyday of my life I get the same old line
Hey boy!-(oh boy)- when are you going to learn
I wanna go on the red- I wanna go on the green
I wanna go on all colors that I see in between
I wanna run all the tolls- I wanna run all the signs
I wanna run all the way across a double white line

I can't stand to see it no more the way you're living with a Goddess
But you treat her like a slave and you can't hold her back anymore
She's like a dreamer in a dungeon or an Angel in a cave
And I'll be closer to you now than any other boy
So you know what I'm saying is true you're gonna break her up
And tear her down and fade her away
And then there's no telling what I'm gonna do

From the very first moment I saw you I knew our love would be so
strong
And the very first moment I kissed you I knew our joy would last so
long
And then I saw you making love to my best friend
I didn't kow whatever to say
I saw you making love to my best friend
So I looked him right in his eyes and I said
Listen boy
Won't you take some more, it's what you came for

From the minute I turned and laid eyes on you
I had no eyes of my own I was blind to the world
You were to good to be true but you were something to see
So very young and alone and still I don't believe
The way you turned on me now where's the girl that I knew?
I gave you somewhere to live and then somebody to love
You gave me nothing but trouble - man, I was such a fool

I've been trying for hours just to think of what exactly to say
I thought l'd leave you with a letter of firey speech
Like when an actor makes an exit at the end of a play

And l've been dying for hours trying to fill up all the holes with some sense
l'd like to know how you faded and you threw it away
l'd like to give you all the reasons and what everything meant

[Spoken]
The entire city is burning
You can see the flames like the inside of a mad jukebox
Lost boys stalk the streets with those jungle markings on their
chest
Barbarians prowl in shadows their heads rocking with rodents
Motorcycles reproduce in nocturnal alleys
Groaning with greasy pleasure
And they've blown up the YMCA like a giant balloon

Every night I grab some money and I go down to the bar
I got my buddies and a beer I got a dream - I need a car
You got me begging on my knees c'mon and throw the dog a bone
A man he doesn't live by rock 'n roll and brew alone

Baby baby
Rock 'n roll and brew
Rock 'n roll and brew
They don't mean a thing when I compare 'em next to you
Rock 'n roll and brew
Rock 'n roll and brew

Everything is permitted
Everything is allowed
And all our Gods we have outwitted
We are running with the crowd
And all the clocks are showing zero
And all our parents must have fled
And we just never had no hereos
And all our enemies will soon be stone cold dead
Everything is permitted
There is nothing out of bounds
There are no limits or no fences
There is always some way around
