Simply the Best lyrics

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

On a hot summer night.
Would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?
Will he offer me his mouth?
Yes
Will he offer me his teeth?
Yes
Wlll he offer me his jaws?
Yes
Will he offer me his hunger?
Yes
Again. Will he offer me his hunger?
Yes
And will he starve without me?
Yes
And does he love me?
Yes
Yes
On a hot summer night.

Hey Ricky, now mine is empty
How about one for you
We could set it out together
Seems tomorrow's overdue
Captain Video, done went home
One pilot laid to rest
And dragon ladies talk that talk
About who loves who - who loves best

Silver bullets in the jukebox
Spin another round
Everybody at the back of the line
It's midnight at the lost and found
Midnight at the lost and found

Never callin', unanswered letters
How you been, feelin' better?
Never lookin', but you're hearin'
Never speakin', but you're feeling
All the silence, and its wounding
You're not healing, just conceding
Play the game, play the game

Oh, brother to brother
All the blood runs red
Don't roll over, don't play dead
We're all livin' on the razor's edge
Oh, brother to brother

I took one look and something snapped I said I love your eyes --
You took my heart you took my breath away --
I felt my temperature rise you said you've never loved a man this
way
That it was heaven you were to stay
But now you're just another fallen angel
And I hope that the fall didn't do you no harm
And now you're just another fallen angel
Falling into -- somebody else's arms

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

You like ridin' around with your big brother
In your uncle's custom van
You wanna bleach your hair so bad
But your Mama don't understand
Hangin' around by the monument
Dancin' to the radio
You got a memory even shorter than your dress
But there's nothing you don't know
Priscilla
Priscilla
Nearly sixteen but they treat you like a kid
Priscilla
Priscilla

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

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

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

Two A.M. with the lost and the lonely
Walkin' past the kids comin' back from the party
Smiles on their faces you remember so well how it was
Nights in the back of that buick that you got runnin'
Your baby by your side told the whole world you're comin'
Work so hard to do what is right
Believed in what you're doin'
But so many fights
Trusted too many relieved to much
