Vision Thing Lyrics:

Vision Thing

Twenty-five whores in the room next door

Twenty-five floors and I need more

I'm looking for the can in the candy store

Two thousand Hamburg four

And colours I ain't seen before

It's a small world and it smells funny

I'd buy another if it wasn't for the money

Take back what I paid

For another motherfucker in a motorcade

In a long black car

With the prettiest shit

From Panama

When the sirens wail

And the lights flash blue

My vision thing come

Slamming through

It's a small world and it smells bad

I'd buy another if I had

Back

What I paid

For another motherfucker in a motorcade

Slamming through

Slamming through

What do wee need to make our world come alive?

What does it take to make us sing?

While we're waiting for the next one to arrive?

One million points of light

One billion dollar Vision Thing

Another black hole in the killing zone

A little more mad in the methedrome

One blinding flash of sense

Just like the president's

Well, I don't mind

Out of my mind

Blizzard king

Bring it on home

It's a small world and it smells bad

I'd buy another if I had

Back

What I paid

For another motherfucker in a motorcade

And a vision thing

And a vision thing

And a ...

Sha la la la

What do we need to make our world come alive?

What do we need to make us sing?

While we're waiting for the next one to arrive?

One million points of light

One billion dollar Vision Thing

Sha la la la

Ribbons

I'm lying on my back now

The stars look all too near

Flowers on the razor wire

I know you're here

We are few

And far between

I was thinking about her skin

Love is a many splintered thing

Don't be afraid now

Just walk on in

(Flowers on the razor wire)

(Walk on in)

Her eyes were cobalt red

Her voice was cobalt blue

I see no purple light

Crashing out of you

So just walk on in

(Flowers on the razor wire)

(Walk on in)

Her lovers queued up in the hallway

I heard them scratching at the door

I tried to tell her

About Marx and Engels, God and Angels

I don't really know what for

But she looked good in ribbons

So just walk on in

She looked good in ribbons

So just walk on in

Tie a red red red red red red ribbon

Love is a many splintered thing

Tie a red red red red ribbon

Don't be afraid

Just walk on in

Just walk on in

(Incoming ...)

(Incoming ...)

Just walk on in

Just walk on in

Flowers on the razor wire

Just walk on in ...

Incoming!

Detonation Boulevard

On Detonation Boulevard ...

Through the angel rain

Through the dust and the gasolene

Through the cruelty of strangers

To the neon dream

Long distance information

Just tell me where the manholes steam

A little girl waits on my station

With a new machine

On Detonation Boulevard ...

I got wrecked out here

In a Eldorado

I got wired, white-walled

This hot-wired sedan

I caught something weird in Encenada

I've a brother of sorts in Torquemada

Long distance information

Disconnect me if you can

On Detonation Boulevard ...

Pink noise, white noise,

And a violet whining sound

It burns inside this car

No cops, no signs, no left, no right

No stops, no turning round

Well you can run but you can't ride

You won't get far

On Detonation Boulevard ...

Bang bang

On Detonation Boulevard ...

Through the angle rain

Through the rust and the gasolene

Through the cruelty of strangers

To the neon dream

Long distance information

I'll take the same

I got the fuel for the transformation

I'm a naked flame

On Detonation Boulevard ...

Bang bang

Something Fast

All the things

We never needed

I don't need them now

All the things

Were always confidential

And hidden from me anyhow

You can stand all night

At a red light anywhere in town

Hailing maries left and right

But none of them slow down

I seen the best of men go past

I don't want to be the last

Gimme something fast

God knows everybody needs

A hand in their decision

Some of us are not so sure

I seen his own held out

For a ride on television

I think he's still in Baltimore

You can stand all night

At a red light anywhere in town

Hailing maries left and right

But none of them slow down

I seen the best of men go past

I don't want to be the last

Gimme something fast

When You Don't See Me

When you don't see me ...

It's not a matter of going to grow

It's not a matter of time or how I feel

I'm throwing off the shadow of a better man now

What you see is what you never had

Get real

Get another

I don't exist when you don't see me

I don't exist when you're not here

What the eye don't see won't break the heart

You can make believe when we're apart

But when you leave I disappear

When you don't see me ...

Oh, it's kind of different when your there

You can lease the peace of mind

You bought a mask, I put it on

You never thought to ask me

If I wear it when you're gone

Get real

Get another

I don't exist when you don't see me

I don't exist when you're not here

What the eye don't see won't break the heart

You can make believe when we're apart

But when you leave I disappear

When you don't see me ...

You never learned

You bought me

Everything and less

I turned

You couldn't let me move

I guess, I don't deny, it don't disprove

What you see is what you lost

If I were you I wouldn't try

Get real

Get another

I don't exist when you don't see me

I don't exist when you're not here

What the eye don't see won't break the heart

You can make believe when we're apart

But when you leave I disappear

When you don't see me ...

Doctor Jeep

Everybody shouts on I Love Lucy

Pee Wee reads the evening news

A pre-owned song or a second-hand Uzi

Everybody got a job to lose

Here come the golden oldies

Here come the Hizbollah

Businessmen from South Miami

Humming AOR

Meanwhile ...

I like Cal and his dog Napalm

I like Ike and his itty-bitty A-bomb

Everybody got one, I want mine

You can order it up on Channel Nine

Meanwhile, in the Sheraton,

Doctor Jeep plays on and on and on

There was a time but it's long gone

Janie got a crush on the Viet Cong

Burning through downtown Saigon

Me, I'm sold - down the Mekong

Meanwhile, in the Sheraton,

Doctor Jeep plays on and on and on

Guns and cars and accidents

The threatened witness my defence

You can sell one another for fifteen cents

Well bye-bye mother, it's common sense

Meanwhile, in the Sheraton,

Doctor Jeep plays on and on and on

Everybody shouts on I Love Lucy

Pee Wee reads the evening news

A pre-owned song or a second-hand Uzi

Everybody got a job to lose

Here come the golden oldies

Here come the Hizbollah

Businessmen from South Miami

Humming AOR

Meanwhile, in the Sheraton,

Doctor Jeep plays on and on and on

More

Some people get by

With a little understanding

Some people get by

With a whole lot more

I don't know

Why you gotta be so undemanding

One thing I know

I want more

I want more

(and I need all the love that I can't get to)

(and I need all the love I can get)

(and I need all the love that I can't get to)

D'you get scared to feel so much?

To let somebody touch you?

So hot, so cold, so far so out of control

Hard to come by, and harder to hold

Some people get by

With a little understanding

Some people get by

With a whole lot more

I don't know

Why you gotta be so undemanding

I want more

(and I need all the love I can get)

(and I need all the love that I can't get to)

(and I need all the love I can get)

(and I need all the love that I can't get to)

There are parts of me that don't get nervous

Not the parts that shake

You won't get what you deserve

You are what you take

Learning to cry for fun and profit

I'm not done yet

Counterfeit dollars or the English zloty

Anything I can get

Some people get by

With a little understanding

Some people get by

With a whole lot more

I don't know

Why you gotta be so undemanding

One thing I know

I want more

(and I need all the love I can get)

(and I need all the love that I can't get to)

(and I need all the love I can get)

(and I need all the love that I can't get to)

All the love that you can get

All the love

That I can't get to ...

I Was Wrong

You say stay and never leave

You say meant for ever

I could believe you, but I don't

You say we're almost all alone together

All alone

You say

You say you will

I know you won't

CHORUS:

I was wrong

I was wrong to ever doubt

I can get along without

I can love my fellow man

But I'm damned if I'll love yours

In a bar that's always closing

In a world where people shout

I don't wanna talk this over

I don't wanna talk it out

I was quite impressed until I hit the floor

Isn't that what friends are for?

Pain looks great on other people

That's what they're for

CHORUS

[Repeat 1]

CHORUS

In a bar that's always closing

In a world where people shout

I don't wanna talk this over

I don't wanna talk it out

I was quite impressed until I hit the floor

Isn't that what friends are for?

Pain looks great on other men

That's what they're for

CHORUS
