Prime Cuts lyrics

Once a beautiful Miss America,
married Mr. Right.
Had a little baby girl,
born on a stormy night.

But that was once upon a time,
now it's a brand new world.
Gimmee the future, gimmee the future,
gimmee the future with a modern girl.

Somewhere just between the past
and somethin' dawnin' new.
There's a break in the chain,
there's a skip in the clock,
girl that's where I'm gonna find you.

She thought she had the only key
She thought you only opened up to her,
Well you see I don't know why you call it love
She thought she was the brightest light
But someone else was lighting up your life,
What I think I don't know why you call it love
I'm not suspicious, no not me,
But I'm not blind And I'd have to be not to see
Gettin' away with murder,
You can love a girl and hurt her

The sirens are screaming and the fires are howling
Way down in the valley tonight
There's a man in the shadows with a gun in his eye
And a blade shining oh so bright
There's evil in the air and there's thunder in the sky
And a killer's on the bloodshot streets
Oh and down in the tunnel where the deadly are rising
Oh I swear I saw a young boy
Down in the gutter

The waves are poundin' on the sand tonight
I want to take your hand and make it feel so right
I know I'm ready and I'll never be like this again
And the sky is trembling and the moon is pale
We're on the edge of forever and we're never gonna fail
I know you're ready and we're runnin' on the back of the wind

And my body is burnin' like a naked wire

I'll go blind before I stop
And I'll go blind before I stop,
They're gonna have to come in and lock me up
And I'll go blind before I stop,
'cause this boy mama just wanna rock
There's a two ton fireball burnin' through the headphones
Cuttin' up my heart, makin' ashes of my soul
A lightning bolt petition, tonight I'm gonna sign
Trouble out my window and I'm gonna find it

They say you never come home
Boy you been driving too fast
When you gonna shape up
How long is this gonna last
You may be laughin' today
But listen to some good advice
Take a look at tomorrow in a workin' man's weary eyes
You gotta pick a career
Go for the gold
Smile for the camera
Do what you're told
Well you can take away the ladder cuz I ain't gonna climb it

Heaven blesses those who wait
Patience is a virtue son
Keep your toe on the line
Keep your foot on the brake
No sense jumpin' the gun
Girl I'm tired of waitin' you know life's too short
Lemme kiss ya 'til the night is done
Ain't no doubt about it you're my favorite sport
God I wanna jump the gun

Feel like, jumpin' the gun
Tonight I'm gonna jump the gun
No crime in havin' some fun

Baby we can talk all night
But that ain't gettin us nowhere
I told you everything I possibly can
There's nothing left inside of here
And maybe you can cry all night
But that'll never change the way I feel
The snow is really piling up outs
I wish you wouldn't make me leave here
I poured it on and I poured it out
I tried to show you just how much I care

PARADISE BOY:
I remember every little thing
As if it happened only yesterday
Parking by the lake
And there was not another car in sight
And I never had a girl
Looking any better than you did
And all the kids at school
They were wishing they were me that night
And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right

Talking, talking - wealth, talking - money, talking - power
Talking - horses, talking - fun, talking - self, talking - power
Talking - diamonds, talking - ego,
talking - man, talking - wealth
And talking - power (repeats)
Money is power, power is fame
Talking about rock 'n' roll mercenaries
Soldiers of fortune by some other name
I'm talking about rock 'n' roll mercenaries
