Girl on the loose in the Motor City
Got the top down aw yeah she looks alright
Inside she's feeling shitty
Ask her why and she'll punch you in the eye
These are the best times of her life
Yeah right
Yeah right
These are the best times of her life
Yeah right
Yeah right
I nearly made it in the back of a car one time
I nearly made it in the back but
I couldn't get it up
I never lived it down
And you don't get a second chance
Not with a girl like that
Oh no she's a woman that needs romance
Prom night in the Motor City
High school girls'll really make you feel alright
If you're a high school boy with money
If you're not you might as well say goodnight
These are the best times of your life
Yeah right
Yeah right
These are the best times of your life
I nearly made it in the back of a car one time
I nearly made it in the back but
I couldn't get it up
High school boy in the Motor City
I had a woman, had a woman to get me tight
I'd ride my bike to see her
She was 26 I was 17 alright
Those were the best times of my life
Yeah right
Yeah right
These are the best times of your life
This is the best night of your life

Sharky's Got My Back
02:10
|

|
Sharky's got my back
She got my front as a matter of fact
And when she's by my side
You know I don't got nothin' to hide
I run around with whoever I like to
And it might or might not be love
They can say whatever they like to
He's just a dirty little
He's just a dirty little.. what?
Sharky's got my back
She got my front as a matter of fact
And as we walk along
I hum the melody of this little song
I run around with whoever I like to
And it might or might not be love
They can say whatever they like to
He's just a dirty little
He's just a dirty little.. what?
It surprises me
How much her touch seems to matter to me
She looked so pretty when
She had just broken up with her boyfriend
I run around with whoever I like to
And it might or might not be love
They can say whatever they like to
She's just a dirty little
She's just a dirty little.. what?
So how is your pizza?
Does it have jalapeños?
Oh it's pepperoni
That's cute
It's kinda like you're just 8 years old

New DNA
02:33
|
|||
|
Here we are in a brand new millennium
The old way doesn't matter any more
We need to mutate
We need to survive
Our DNA says
FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT
Man on the TV is clearly insane
Man on the TV says Bla Bla Bla Bla
New DNA for a new generation
New generation
New DNA
Down from the trees and into the cars
Only 3 million years so far
Maybe never should have stood upright
All we seem to do is
FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT
We can speak but what do we say?
Ten billion lips are flapping
Bla Bla Bla Bla
New DNA for a new generation
New generation
New DNA

Sexy (Jon Erickson mix)
03:34
|

|
Sexy in the city tonight
Subway rolls around underground
And the headlights are too many to count
Ass pocket keeps me feeling right
Ass pocket keeps my budget tight
Some girls I know they like it rough
Some girls don't want none of that stuff
Some girls do it all all night long
Some girls only dance to this song
Some guys they judge a book by its cover
That's not me
Girl I wanna know what's inside
Is it sexy?
Bumpin' in all of the clubs
The bouncers are just doin' their jobs
Don't mess with the guy at the door or he will rearrange your face for free

LA Girls
03:06
|
|||
|
Is there any magic in the world
Are there any LA girls
That dream like I do
When I sleep the day through
When the cul-de-sacs have wrapped themselves around your heart
And you can't escape no matter how you fall apart
Give it up
Do you really let your feelings go
Tell me is it all for show
Will you entertain us
Or will you liberate us
When the ones who held you down are now your servants
And the world is giving you what you're deserving
Give it up
Sometimes I'm scared that I can't go on
That I won't make it though to the end of the song
Then I look out and I see you there
And I feel ok and I don't really care
That I am just one insignificant dot
Alone in a crowd of insignificant dots
Living upon an insignificant dot
Lost in a sea of insignificant dots

Rocket Science
04:06
|

|
There's a cold wind
Blowin' through these ivory hallways
Can you feel it?
Cos I can feel it
Do you really know
Do you even care
What goes on downstairs
Or who's in charge upstairs
This is rocket science
It's our job to kill
And if that makes you queasy
We make a special pill for that
Look at it this way
These bombs and guns are gonna get made
If not by us then someone else
And we've got mouths to feed
Look behind the flag
Look and you will see
Military minds and aristocracies
Regarding your opinion
Please keep it to yourself
I'd hate to see you disappear
Replaced by someone else
For years you've been my colleague
And we've worked side by side
But if it comes down to you or me
I think we both know who'd...
Do you really know?
(there's a cold wind)
Do you even care?
(blowing through these ivory hallways)
What goes on downstairs
(can you feel it?)
Or who's in charge upstairs
(cos I can feel it)
This is rocket science
It's our job to kill
And if this makes you queasy
We make a special pill for that

Man From Detroit
02:40
|

|
I'm just a man from Detroit
But I've been around the world
Without leaving my bed
Because I put it in
P.U.T.I.T.I.N.
Put it in
Put it in
I'm just a regular guy
But I'll give it to you straight now
You wanna go for the brass ring
Well if you wanna win it
You've got to put it in it
P.U.T.I.T.I.N.
Put it in
Put it in
I'm just a man from Detroit
I'm just a man!

I'm a go-getter
I go get 'em
and I smoke 'em
and I drink 'em
I'm a go-getter
I go get her and we go out
I'm looking at you
I don't like what I see
You cannot have the personality B
You must not have the personality C
You need to have the kind of personality that gets you where you want to be
What kind of girl are you?
TYPE A
What kind of girl are you?
TYPE A
Are you the kind of girl who gets an A on every kind of test you take?
I'm a go-getter
I go get her
and we get some of the good stuff
Ooh and we do it
We do it all night long
You say that viciousness is very uncouth
I say that nature's red in claw and tooth
I say that nature's balls are turning blue
You need to see that what benefits the many is what benefits the few
What kind of boy are you?
TYPE A
What kind of boy are you?
TYPE A
Are you the kind of boy who gets ahead while all the rest stay in their beds?
I'm a go-getter
I go get her
and we go out

You can never go back to the past
You can never go back home
Cos yesterday's gigs are yesterday's news
but the mistakes that you made are following you
They keep you awake at night
Long after you turned out the light
And you cry yourself to sleep in an empty room
Night after night it's the same old woeful tune
Oh me oh my
You can never undo what you've done
You're forever on the run
You're running around with this weight on your head
Sometimes you think that you're better off dead
That sorrow belongs to you
But something else does too
Oh remember
The good times
The good times that we had
Come on baby,
Darling
Things ain't all that bad!

Eye of the Night
03:14
|
|||
|
Creeping up the stairs
She hides it in her room
She thinks that no one knows
But I do
I won't tell a soul
So there's nothing to fear
There nothing to fear from the
Eye of the night
Always on my mind
Eye of the night
Eye of the night
Never satisfied
Eye of the night
La-di-da-di-da
That's what all the girls say
But when they lift their skirts up
I run away
There's something sinister about plaid these days
But there's nothing to fear from the
Eye of the night
Always on my mind
Eye of the night
Eye of the night
Always satisfied
Eye of the night
Eye of the night!
They caught me with my pants down
They said you'll work in this town again
And so I never stopped
And that's how I got where I am today
with a little help
Eye of the night
Always on my mind
Eye of the night
Eye of the night
Never satisfied
Eye of the night

If you wanna be my girl
You gotta tell the whole wide world
If you wanna stay true child
You gotta hold on to the love in your heart
Oh no sometimes love can go bad
It's true
But if you wanna make an omelette
You gotta break a few eggs
No one makes me feel like you do
Oh it might sound like a cliche
But I swear to god it's true
You can take me home
You can do it tonight
But if we're gonna do this thing
We're gonna do it right
I get it now.

Nice To See You Again
02:38

Where is your girl
Where is your girlfriend
She's over there
As you can see
Wow all this music
It's really loud
I said, this music
It's really loud
At the club I must say
That I find your lamé
apron top to be in the finest taste
We met a while ago
And it's so nice to see you again
Last time we hung out
We did mushrooms with my ex-girlfriend
Nice to see you again
Lust runneth over in my cup
Always seems like you show up
Have you met my new girlfriend?
Nice to see you again
