The telephone is ringing
You got me on the run
I'm driving in my car now
Anticipating fun
I'm driving right up to you, babe
I guess that you couldn't see, yeah yeah
But you under my wheels
Why don't you let me be
'Cause when you call me on the telephone
Saying "take me to the show"
And then I say, honey, I just can't go
Old lady's sick and I can't leave her home
The telephone is ringing
You got me on the run
I'm driving in my car now
I got you under my wheels
I got you under my wheels
I got you under my wheels
I got you under my wheels
Yeah yeah
I got you under my wheels
Telephone is ringing
You got me on the run
I'm driving in my car now
Anticipating fun
I'm driving right up to you, babe
I guess you that couldn't see, yeah yeah
But you were under my wheels, honey
Why don't you let me be, yeah yeah
I got you under my wheels, yeah
I got you under my wheels, wheels, wheels
Got you, got you got you....

She struts into the room, wellI don't know her
But with a magnifying glance I just sort of look her over
We have a drink or two, well, maybe three
And then suddenly she starts telling me her life story
She says
Baby, if you wanna be my lover
You better take me home
'Cause it's a long, long way to paradise
And I'm still on my own
Told her that I came from Detroit City
And I played guitar in a long-haired rock and roll band
She asked me why the singers name was Alice
I said listen, baby, you really wouldn't understand
And I said
Baby, if you wanna be my lover
You better take me home
'Cause it's a long, long way to paradise
And I'm still on my own
On my own
Oh baby, if you wanna be my lover
You better take me home
'Cause it's a long long way to paradise
And I'm still on my own
Ooooooh
I've got the answers to all of your questions
If you've got the money to pay me in gold
I will be living in old Monte Carlo
And you will be reading the secrets I sold
Daggers and contacts and bright shiny limos
I've got a watch that turns into a lifeboat
Glimmering nightgowns, poisonous cobras
Silencer under the heel of my shoe
The elegance of China
They sent her to lie here on her back
But as she deeply moves me
She'd rather shoot me in my tracks
And while a Middle Asian lady
She really came as no surprise
But I still did destroy her
And I will smash
Halo of flies
I cross the ocean where no one could see
And I put a time-bomb in your submarine
Goodbye to old friends, the secret's in hand
With phonyed up papers and counterfeit plans
You never will understand
I'm a gambler and I'm a runner
But you knew that when you lay down
I'm a picture of ugly stories
I'm a killer and I'm a clown
Step into the street by sundown
Step into your last goodbye
You're a target just by living
Twenty dollars will make you die
I wear lace and I wear black leather
My hands are lightning upon my gun
My shots are clean and my, my shots are final
My shots are deadly and when it's done
You're as stiff as my smoking barrel
You're as dead as a desert night
You're a notch and I'm a legend
You're at peace and I must hide
Tell me where the hell I'm going
Let my bones fall in the dust
Can you hear that ghost that's calling
As my Colt begins to rust
In the dust
I'm a killer, I'm a clown
I'm a priest that's gone to town
Yeah, you seem so civilized
Your mama's tryin' to run your life
Your daddy's tryin' to pick your wife
Oh no
Yeah, you run around with all that hair
They just don't like those rags you wear
You say I'm gonna pack up my stuff
I'm gonna run away
And then you say
You drive me nervous, nervous
And then I said
You drive me nervous, nervous, nervous, oh
Nervous, nervous, nervous, nervous, whoa-oh-oh
Aaah
You're out of state, you're thrown in jail
You ain't got the bread to pay the bail
Your mom and papa come up and said
"Honey, where did we fail?"
And then you scream
You drive me nervous, nervous
And then I screamed
You drive me nervous, nervous, nervous, oh
Nervous, nervous, nervous, nervous, whoa-oh-oh
You drive me ne-ne-ne-nervous
Ne-ne-ne-nervous
You drive me nervous
Whoa
You can be my slave and I'll be a stranger
We could be in passion, we could be in danger
Take you off the streets, put you under my wings, yeah,
You could pull my leg or anything
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh yeah
You could be the devil, you could be the saviour
Well I really can't tell by the way that your behavior
I'll take you off the boat put you under my wing
Yeah, you could pull my leg or anything
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh yeah
I don't know what you're playin'
Don't even know what you're sayin'
You gotta leave me alone
I'm gonna go on home
Aaoh, the things are gettin' tougher
Yeah, the things are gettin' rougher
This is Alice speakin'
(Suffer!)
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You could be the devil, you could be the saviour
Well I really can't tell by the way that your behavior
Take you off the streets, put you under my wings, yeah
Yyou could pull my leg or anything
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Little Betty ate a pound of aspirin
She got them from the shelf upon the wall
Betty's mommy wasn't there to save her
She didn't even hear her baby call
(Waaah!)
Dead babies can take care of themselves
Dead babies can't take things off the shelf
Well we didn't want you anyway
Lalala-la, lalala-la, la la la
Daddy is an agrophile in Texas
Mommy's on the bar most every night
Little Betty's sleeping in the graveyard
Living there in burgundy and white
Dead babies can take care of themselves
Dead babies can't take things off the shelf
Well we didn't love you anyway
Lalala-la, lalala-la, la la la
Goodbye, Little Betty
Goodbye, Little Betty
So long, Little Betty
So long, Little Betty
Betty, so long
Dead babies can take care of themselves
Dead babies can't take things off the shelf
Well we didn't need you anyway
Lalala-la, lalala-la, la la la
Goodbye, Little Betty

Order! Order in the court! Order! Will you have order!...)
What did I do to deserve such a fate
I didn't really want to get involved in this thing
Someone handed me this gun and I
I gave it everything
Yeah, I gave it everything
I came into this life
Looked all around
I saw just what I liked and took what I found
Nothing came easy
Nothing came free
Nothing came all until they came after me
Yeah, yeah
Aaahhhhhhhh, aaahhhhhhhhhhhhh
( What did I do to deserve such a fate
I didn't really want to get involved in this thing
Someone handed me this gun and I
I gave it everything
I gave it everything - sigh)
