SAIGON KICK LYRICS album: "The Lizard" (1992)


1. Cruelty

[Instrumental]

2. Hostile Youth

I can feel you now

Deep inside of me
I was blind but now

All the pain I see

We don't like our homes
It's nothing but a joke
We won't do what we're told
Leave us all alone

God is dead, you see
All you need is me
Kill off those who deny
You are king tonight

We don't like our homes
It's nothing but a joke
We won't do what we're told
Leave us all alone

I can feel you falling faster
Your life is on the wall
No more laughter, no more rules
Catch me if I fall

3. Feel The Same Way

Saw the fire light

Had the same dream tonight
Felt the fears of the endless night in the middle of the morning light
(in the middle of the morning light)

We have disease gone crazy thoughts of revolution hazy
Computer days are lazy
I'm on the side of the man who's wiser
I'm on the side with the gun that fires

Feel the same way

Lost a life tonight

Caused a little fright tonight
Stole a dream of right
Call me a man with a view that's wild
Call me a man with a mind like a child's

Can you feel the power?

Watch them build the biggest tower
Cry a little shower all in the site of a race that's leaving
All for the right of a man you're killing

Feel the same way

4. Freedom

She talks to me, Outside she screams
But somewhere there's a little child

locked up inside your alibis
So take a bow for what you've done

Freedom

They light the sky, So many die

For what they see is wrong or right
Your world it seems a puzzle piece

So close but we never see

Freedom

Life goes by but the pain you'll never see from the scars your world has put on me
Our statue reads the words of peace

Those written before my time
She holds the light for those who died, so die for me and pray for me

5. God Of 42nd Street

I am the god of 42nd street

You may not love me but I'm hard to beat
I am the lord of all you see and feel

You may not want me but I'm oh so real
You cannot feel me when the light is on

So come the darkness, I won't be very long

Close your eyes my darling and you'll find the light
Close your eyes my friend and they'll be no fright
Close your eyes my darling and you'll find the way

All the fire and all the hate

Won't change the feelings, won't change your fate
So stop your crying and feed my faith

I'll kill your god and take his place
Kill the leaches in your little dream

The bloods not spilling, It's not what it seems

Close your eyes my darling and you'll find the light
Close your eyes my friend and they'll be no fright
Close your eyes my darling and you'll find the way

Hey, have you ever walked beneath the rain in hope of washing away the pain and all your tears?
Hey, have you ever talked of all the shame within your everlasting fear of me?

6. My Dog

Oh no
Oh god no
He's dead

He's dead

My dog was walking down the street, minding his own business
Then this fucking car came and ran him over
Have you seen my dog playing round and round?

And he was looking up at me with those big brown eyes
And he started shaking and shaking
There I was I didn't know what to do,
And the blood was just pouring out of his mouth into a puddle

Oh god

He's dead, no!
Have you seen my dog playing round and round your town?

7. Peppermint Tribe

Yes, I come from the Peppermint Tribe where people come and then they die
To hail me

To hail me
With tomahawks of candy cane we split their heads and eat the brains
Hail me

Oh, hail me

All the while I see your face is turning

Hold the fire while the clock keeps ticking
Talk of Jesus, still your pain won't end

Ask forgiveness though your mind is lying

Slippin' through, time's slippin' through your hands

With guns of chalk we write our names

We wrote the book. We author pain
Hail me

Hail me
The T.V. speaks in murderous rhymes.

The clues we leave and hope you'll find.
Hail me

Oh hail me

All the while I see your face is turning

Hold the fire while the clock keeps ticking
Talk of Jesus, still your pain won't end

Ask forgiveness though your mind is lying

Slippin' through, time's slippin' through your hands

Yes, we come from the Peppermint tribe where losers come to fix their mind
Hail me

Oh, hail me
With giant walls are sugar made we close you in and build the grave
Hail me

Oh, hail me

All the while I see your face is turning

Hold the fire while the clock keeps ticking
Talk of Jesus, still your pain won't end

Ask forgiveness though your mind is lying

Slippin' through, time's slippin' through your hands

The witches dancing inside their caves

The people all go insane from the Peppermint Tribe

8. Love Is On The Way

Lonely sidewalks
Silent night
Bring the evenin'
Deep inside
Hold me darling
Touch me now
Let the feelings
Free tonight

Love is one the way
I can see it in your eyes
Let's give it one more try tonight baby
Love is one the way
I can see it in your eyes
Let's give it one more try tonight

Time of season
Wipes the tears
No rhyme or reason
No more fears
All the dreamin'
Is far behind
You are here now
Everything's alright

Love is one the way
I can see it in your eyes
Let's give it one more try tonight baby
Love is one the way
I can see it in your eyes
Let's give it one more try tonight

And in the morning
I'll be gone away
All the things are left behind
If you need me
I'll come night and day
Let's stop the hands of time

Love is one the way
I can see it in your eyes
Let's give it one more try tonight baby
Love is one the way
I can see it in your eyes
Let's give it one more try tonight baby

Love is one the way
I can see it in your eyes
Let's give it one more try tonight baby
Love is one the way
I can see it in your eyes
Let's give it one more try tonight

9. The Lizard

When I tell you people to do the lizard,
Pull yourself together and take a listen
Take my flask and sip the liquid
Forgive me now for what I might deliver

Look around

All around

Lick your friends until they start to quiver
I ask myself if to give is richer

Look around

All around

Save yourself from falling down, all around
There's no chance you can be found underground

The Lizard....

There's a thing we say about the foolish wisher
Just do the dance and become the Lizard

Look around

All around

Save yourself from falling down, all around
There's no chance you can be found underground

The Lizard....

10. All Alright

That's what I want is a blood in your eye
That's all I need is a reason to die
Put it in your vein, It will ease the pain
So talk your shit to someone else cause I ain't got the time

Don't ask me things you don't wanna hear

Turn your heart to stone in the blink of an eye
You're all I want, You can take me higher
Lady of my soul, You can't change my mind
Suicide Jones ain't got shit on me

Don't ask me things you don't wanna hear

We're all alright, whether it's wrong or right
Baby it's all alright from here

11. Sleep

[Instrumental]

12. All I Want

I have danced in the finest ballrooms
I have loved, never loosing sight
I have sighed at the sight of Paris
All I want is you

All I need is you

I would die from a soldiers bullet
I would wait in the noon day sun
I would cry from the highest mountain
All I want is you

All I need is you

All I want is you....

I can run with the bulls in Spain
I can have the finest jewels
I could climb the Himalayas
All I want is you

All I need is you

All I want is you....

I am the one who kneels down, don't you know?
I want the things only you could ever show
You need a man who loves you more than his life
Zero's the price for the ride into life

I never thought the sun would rise on a day as fine as this
All my life, I would dream it happened
All I want is you

All I need is you....

13. Body Bags

Look into the eyes of the government liars
Listen to the sound of the guilty choir
Blood stains on the sacred pyre
Under the book the breathing fire

Social Nags, body bags

Make you gag
What a drag, drag, drag
Cyanide and suicide

Don't you try

You're gonna bleed some more

Come and let me tell you about social giants
Heard about the news but no one buys it
Killing is no secret science

Politics are fixing all defiance

Social Nags, body bags

Make you gag
What a drag, drag, drag
Cyanide and suicide

Don't you try

You're gonna bleed some more

Marilyn was the finest sleeper

J.F.K was the youngest bleeder
Luther died the bravest dreamer

So kill me know cause I'm a believer

14. Miss Jones

Miss Jones knows what the dogs like

And the dogs know what they like about her
In the fields of grass where the young boys run away from,

away from, away from...

Hey, hey Miss Jones, when you get down there will you let us know?
Father John is worried
Hey, hey Miss Jones, when you get down there will you let us know?
Flames of war are burning

The hills wish they were mountains

And the weeds, to be trees
In the years to come, we all run away from,

away from, away from...

Hey, hey Miss Jones, when you get down there will you let us know?
Father John is worried
Hey, hey Miss Jones, when you get down there will you let us know?
Flames of war are burning

15. World Goes Round

In the light of day I can still see the light, see the light
Veins of red and blue dance on tracks in the night, in the night

Once upon a dream I had she came and said OK [x2]
The world goes round [x2]

She will come to you with a scream for her life, for her life
Act of god, part two, Her life bleeds off the knife, off the knife

Once upon a dream I had she came and said OK [x2]
The world goes round [x2]

16. Chanel

If you see me in the pouring rain,

no I'm never coming back again for you,
My beloved Chanel

Walk along my dear hand and hand

No, not a tear, not a grain of sand for you,
My beloved Chanel

Dancing on the moonlit sky, Glancing in each others eye

Oh, my heart does swell
Believe me when I say to you, you really ring my bell

Walking in the park the other day,

My heart skipped as I heard him say for you,
My beloved Chanel

Crying, screaming, ranting, raving mad
If you were dead, boy would I be glad for you,

My beloved Chanel

Dancing on the moonlit sky, Glancing in each others eye

Oh, my heart does swell
Believe me when I say to you, you really ring my bell

Laughing as your grave is built

Not an ounce of shame or guilt for you,
My beloved Chanel

I never cried, I never could

All the blame would do no good for you,
My beloved Chanel
