Fair warning

At night I walk this stinkin' street

Past the crazies on my block

And I see the same old faces

And I hear that same old talk

And I'm searching for the latest thing

A break in this routine

I'm talkin' some new kicks

Ones like you ain't never seen



This is home

This is Meanstreet

It's our home

The only one I know



And we don't worry 'bout tomorrow

Cause we're sick of these four walls

Now what'd ya think is nothing

Might be something after all

Now you know this ain't no through street

The end is dead ahead

The poor folks play for keeps down here

They're the living dead



Come on down

Down to Meanstreet

They're dancing now

Out on Meanstreet



It's always here and now, my friend

It ain't once upon a time

It's all over but the shouting

I'll come and I'll take what's mine

We're searching for the latest thing

A break in this routine

Talkin' some new kicks

Ones like you ain't never seen



This is home

This is Meanstreet

It's our home

Only one I know



(This is home) See, a gun is real easy

(This is Meanstreet) In this desperate part of town

(This is home) Turns you from hunted into hunter

(This is Meanstreet) Go and hunt somebody down

(This is home) But hear me now, somebody said "Fair Warning, Lord !"

(This is Meanstreet) Lord, strike that poor boy down

Now who's that babe with the fabulous shadow?

It's only one scene, but to me it don't matter

Her movies get down like you won't find in my hometown

They won't believe it when they see what they're seein'

Go see baby now!



Pictures on the silver screen

Greatest thing you've ever seen

Now her name is up in lights

Everything turns out all right



Daddy's little sweetie after some damn rainbow

Got the big deal in the back of a limo

Now showbiz is so thrillin', the camera rolls she's willin'

They won't believe it when they see what they're seein'

Go see baby now!



Hey, you remember when that girl was prom queen?

Oh wow! Take it off! Take it all off!



Pictures on the silver screen

Greatest thing you've ever seen

Now her name is up in lights

Everything turns out all right



Now they believe it, now that they've seen it

Go see baby now!



Pictures on the silver screen

Greatest thing you've ever seen

Now my baby's up in lights

Everything turns out all right

Lights! Camera! Action!

All right, you sinners, swing!



Danger in the rearview mirror

There's trouble in the wind

Badness bringing up the rear

The menace's loose again

She looks so fuckin' good

So sexy and so frail

Something got the bite on me

I'm goin' straight to hell



And now we're wasting time

Same old pickup lines

And you keep trying

Don't waste time



Come back to your senses, baby

We can come to terms

I can almost taste it

It burns

You'd be sitting pretty

But you try to take the Fifth

Wearin' out my welcome

Guess I better say my prayers



And now we're wasting time

Same old pickup lines

And you keep trying

Don't waste time



Get, get, get, get, get out and push

Get, get, get, get, get out and push

Get, get, get, get, get out and push

Get, get, get, get, get out and push



Get, get, get, get, get out and push

Get, get, get, get, get out and push

Get, get, get, get, get out and push

Get, get, get, get, get out and push



Soon you'll see my silhouette

Darkenin' your door

I can almost taste it

I want more

No one's above suspicion

No one's got it wired

I'll eat with my fingers

Want my iron in that fire



And now we're wasting time

Same old pickup lines

And you keep trying

Don't waste time



Get, get, get, get, get out and push

Get, get, get, get, get out and push

Get, get, get, get, get out and push

Get, get, get, get, get out and push

Ain't got no money, got no house on the hill

Tell me, honey, will your lovin' pay my bills?

Neighbors gettin' crazy 'bout the noise next door

It's a major violation, carried away for sure

See, I've been tried and convicted, it's winner take all

I want a run for my money, that's all



I don't wanna hear about it later

I don't wanna, baby I don't wanna

I don't wanna hear about it later

I don't wanna, baby I don't wanna



Yeah, I'm walking, don't need no ride

No explanation, just wasting time, yeah

I've been tried and convicted, it's winner take all

I want a run for my money, that's all



I don't wanna hear about it later

I don't wanna, baby I don't wanna

I don't wanna hear about it later

I don't wanna, baby I don't wanna



You can try me at home, if it feels all right

But I ain't home at night



You can try me at home, if it feels all right

But I ain't home at night

I don't wanna, I'll do what I please

I don't wanna, I'll maybe do a look 'n move

Yeah, don't look at me baby

Yes, I better take my chances

I, I been dreaming 'bout tomorrow

I don't, I don't, I don't

I don't wanna hear about that, no

You said

I cannot get there from here, baby

And I don't care where I'm goin'

Here's to your thin red line

Hmmm... I'm stepping over



Thought you'd never miss me

'Til I got a Fat City address

Non-stop talker, what a rocker!

Blue eyed murder in a size 5 dress



Change, nothing stays the same

Unchained, yeah you hit the ground running

Change, and nothing stays the same

Unchained, yeah you hit the ground running



No, I don't ask for permission

This is my chance to fly

Maybe enough ain't enough for you

But it's my turn to try



Thought you'd never miss me

'Til I got a Fat City address

Non-stop talker, what a rocker!

Blue-eyed murder in a side-swiped dress



Change, nothing stays the same

Unchained, and ya hit the ground running

Change, and nothing stays the same

Unchained, yeah ya hit the ground running



Change, nothing stays the same

Unchained, and ya hit the ground running

Change, and nothing stays the same

Unchained, yeah ya hit the ground running



Take a look at this!

Hey, man, that suit is you!

You'll get some leg tonight for sure!

Tell us how you do!

(Come on, Dave, give me a break.)

Hey, hey, hey, hey, one break coming up!



Change, and nothing stays the same

Unchained, yeah ya hit the ground running

Change, and nothing stays the same

Unchained, yeah ya hit the ground running

Change, and nothing stays the same

Unchained, yeah ya hit the ground running

Change, and nothing stays the same

Unchained, yeah ya hit the ground running

Does it seem cold in here to you?

What's there to do tonight, anything?

Give me another cigarette

Is there anything left in that bottle?

Yeah-Give it here



Some people live apart;

They break your heart so damn easy

And then one night in sunny victory

She decides and you agree, she's leaving



Will you ever be the same?

Will you ever be the same?



That's when push comes to shove

I believe it was inevitable

That's when push comes to shove

Could this be the one that got away?

I get the message

Guess I knew it all along



Says you're a stranger

Here in paradise, you fool

Seems like forty days and forty nights

Since someone used my first name

Including you



Will you ever be the same?

Is this the one that got away?



Now I'm ahead of the game

Driving me insane

It's a small change

Ooh, I'm just a pushover

Over and over

Oh, yeah

Check me out on the good side here



Well, my baby's on the corner and she's lookin' so fine

Put one and one together and it blowed my mind

A man needs love to live, I'm the living proof

Catch that smile and I hit the roof



We'd double check but you keep on walking

I'm in love

Once over

I'm overdone



So this is love?

Ooh, I need your lovin'

Come on baby, take me home

So this is love?

Ooh, I need your lovin'

I'm just skin and bones



Goin' out my way, knowin' my way around

The grass is never greener and there's plenty around

All other girls, they'd be put to shame

Over the edge and here I'll stay



Got me on pins and needles

And she knows she's mine and ain't lettin' go



So this is love?

Ooh, I need your love

Baby, take me home

So this is love?

Ooh, I need your lovin'

I know



Got me on pins and needles

Yes, she knows she's mine and ain't lettin' go



So this is love?

Ooh, I need your love

So this is love?

Ooh, I need your love

Baby, got to have your love

Ooh, I--Ooh I need, got to have that love

Baby, baby, still love

So this is love?

So this is love?

I grabbed that telephone

I thought we were alone

Telling me there's company

Your husband's comin' home



I've been thinking about this Saturday night with you

I've been thinking about it all week long

And now I'm gonna lose it 'cause that

Son-of-a-bitch got me singin' that same old song



Got one foot out the door

Tryin' to hit the road

Ain't no match for your mean old man

I think it's time to roll

Got one foot out the door

Got one foot out the door

Think I'm gonna fight him?

Don't you let him put down

Put that to the floor

Put the pedal to the metal

And you beat it out of town

No comin' back, back for more
