 Sixteen and a son of a bitch!
 Got a gun and a strychnine twist
 Little girl on the graveyard shift
 Out of control and doesn't give a shit
I  don't wanna go down. I  don't wanna go down.
I  don't wanna go down. I  don't wanna go down.
 At the same time, this is sung:
 Gonna lose control!
 So stop, drop, and roll.
So,  baby-doll, don't you lose  your touch.
You  take it all cause it's never  gonna take too much.
 Dirty mouth and the look of death.
 My tequila coming' from your breath.
 Your lips are like a cherry bomb with teeth
 Losing control, break my sanity.
 So, baby-doll, don't you lose your touch.
 You take it all cause you're never gonna take too much.
 I don't wanna go down. I don't wanna go down.
 I don't wanna go down. I don't wanna go down.
 Gonna lose control!
 So stop, drop, and roll.
 So, baby-doll, don't you lose your touch.
 You take it all 'cause you're never gonna take too...
 Losing control and you lose your touch.
 You take it all, 'cause you're never gonna take too much.
 2. Mother Mary
Do  you want to elope  tonight
Getting  lost in the shadows
All  dressed up like a switchblade  knife
Let's  hang in love from the gallows
Or  we can take a walk around  the lake
There's  a garden in the park  there
Under  the stars next to the fireside
Anywhere  is better than  here
Oh  Mother Mary,  take my hand
I'll  be a saint,  I'll be your man
I'll  do most anything,  'cause I don't care  ...
Oh  Mother Mary,  take my hand.
 Take a ride on the midnight train
 We'll fall asleep at the station
 Too much wine, driving me insane
 And then we'll miss our destination
 Oh well, too bad, who cares, it's all right.
 As long as we will stick together
 In hell we’ll rain a rose (could be arrows) of sunshine
 We'll watch it rise and shine forever
 Oh Mother Mary, take my hand
 I'll be a saint, I'll be your man
 I'll do most anything, 'cause I don't care ...
 Oh Mother Mary, take my hand.
 3. Ruby Room
 Fourteenth  street, booze and swallow
 I'm gonna drown my sorrow.
 Dirty  floors and sticky tables.
 For  the willing and the able.
 All the zombies on a hot  Friday night.
Going down  to the Ruby Room.
I'm gonna meet  my doom.
By  the name  of Rosie May.
She's  the night  pick of  the day,  yeah.
 Lucky Strike and I will travel.
 As a Pabst Blue Ribbon unravels.
 Gonna drink my hard earned pay.
 'Cause it doesn't matter anyway, yeah.
 Seeing double on a one last one night stand.
 Goin' down to the Ruby Room.
 I'm gonna meet my doom.
 By the name of Rosie May.
 She's the midnight pick of the day, yeah!
 Going down to the Ruby Room.
 Going down to the Ruby Room.
 I'm gonna meet my doom.
 By the name of Rosie May.
 She's the midnight pick of the day, yeah, yeah!
 Going down to the Ruby Room.
 Going down to the Ruby Room.

Mary's  in her hour of darkness.
Everything  she feels is hopeless.
Disconnected  from the dancehall.
Tripping  on her heart of purple.
 Is this passion or...
 Or your red tide?
Faces  of her bleak expression.
Taking  on her town's impression.
Tis'  the season's witching hour.
As  the summer loses power.
 Is this passion or...
 Or your red tide?
Mary's  breaking your kiss goodnight.
This  is where her heart will not die.
 Is this passion or...
 Or your red tide?

 I'm on a midnight death trip.
 I'm on a mission from God.
 A stolen car and a death wish.
 To hell on Highway 1
Four  on the floor,  a hundred miles  per hour.
I'm  gonna fly til  the tires  can't fly no  more.
I've  got my blues, gonna make  a racket.
Nothing  to lose but this straight jacket on too tight.
 As the wind comes off the ocean.
 And my hair is combed just right.
 I'm in a stolen locomotion.
 Straight out of 1965.
 So, pass the bottle, a hundred miles per hour.
 I'm gonna fly 'til the tires can't fly no more.
'mon!
 I've got my friends and a shark skin jacket.
 Nothing to lose, gonna live it up 'til I die.
 Well, on the night before the supper.
 And I'm gonna smash the glass just right.
 So, give me one good dose of thunder.
 Before I fall on my ass tonight.
 Four on the floor, a hundred miles per hour.
 I'm gonna fly 'til the tires can't fly no more.
'mon!
 I've got my blues, gonna make a racket.
 Nothing to lose but this straight jacket on too tight.
