A                                             
Another night out on the street 
F
Stopping for my usual seat 
G                  
Oh, bartender, please


Dacqari tonic's my favorite drink 
I don't like anything colored pink
That just stinks...it's not for me         ***


                 A             F         G            E 
   It feels like somebody put something somebody put something in my drink
                 Somebody put something somebody put something


Blurred vision and dirty thoughts 
Feel out of place, very distraught
Feel something coming on

Kick the jukebox, slam the floor 
Drink, drink, drink, drink some more
I can't think Hey! What's in this drink?   ***

   It feels like somebody put something somebody put something in my drink
                 Somebody put something somebody put something in my drink
                 
                 Somebody put something somebody put something in my drink
                 Somebody put something


       G    E                  
In my drink
In my drink
In my drink
       A      F      G  
In my drink


[ A  F  G ] 


So you think it's funny a college prank
Goin' insane for something to drink 
Feel a little dry

Oh, I couldn't care what you think of me 
Cause somebody put something in my drink
I can't think Hey! Give me a drink

   It feels like somebody put something somebody put something in my drink
                 Somebody put something somebody put something in my drink

LOVE KILLS


[ G  E  C  D ]  x2

[ G  F# ] x2 

 
G         E              C            D 
Sid was a punk rock king Nancy was a broken queen
Their lives were so glamorous Sid and Nancy were a mess
When you're hooked on heroin don't you know you'll never win
Drugs don't ever pay you really did it your way


     G    B  C  D
   Love kills
   Love kills
   Love kills


We still believe in anarchy it makes me so damn angry
Sid and Nancy meant a lot to me you may be dead but your souls are free
Like Romeo and Juliet you two made a pact of death
Like the needle that ya used Sid and Nancy were born to lose

   Love kills...


[ G  E  C  D ]  x2

[ G  F# ] x2 


Sid never meant any harm he shot some dope into his arm
All he wanted was some fun now she's lying in a pool of blood
Always loaded, always high why did you have to die?
I'll say one thing is it leaves me with a bitter taste
   
   Love kills...

   Love kills...
   
   Love kills...

He's go so many problems you can count them one by one
He's a filthy, stupid apeman he never has any fun
He lives in the jungle in a cave by a hill 
Plays an old loud drum he's primitive, barely human


   A           G      A                     
   Ooohh-ooohh apeman hop
   Ooohh-ooohh apeman hop


Paint the face of a demon, glowing by the fire light 
Hoppin' like an elephant thunderin' like me tonight 
He's the world's worst recycler the iceman comes a lot 
He's the devil's apprentice he's a prehistoric man

   Ooohh-ooohh apeman hop...

At night he's gonna sacrifice his beloved apeman girl
Tie her to the alter, pull out her heart and eat her flesh

   Ooohh-ooohh apeman hop...

   Ooohh-ooohh apeman hop...

Ain't gonna be easy 'cause I get real mean
Get out of here, get out of my life 
You're gonna be sorry if we have to fight
Stay away from her, 'cause it's making me angry

   Drank in all the bars in town for an extended foreign policy
   F
   Pick up the pieces


C            G                  F

No no-no-no, I need something to slow me down
No no-no-no, my brain is hanging upside down
C            G
No no-no-no, and I need something to slow me down


Shouldn't wish you happiness, wish her the very best 
Fifty thousand dollar dress shaking hands with your highness 
See through you like cellophane you watch the world complain, but you do it 
anyway who am I, am I to say

   Bonzo goes to Bitburg and goes out for a cup of tea...

No no-no-no, my brain is hanging upside down...

D
If there's one thing that makes me sick 
A                                 G 
It's when someone tries to hide behind politics
D
I wish that time could go by fast 
A                      G
Somehow they manage to make it last


D            A                  G
No no-no-no, my brain is hanging upside down
No no-no-no, I need something to slow me down
No no-no-no, my brain is hanging upside down
No no-no-no, and I need something to slow me down

You don't want to share with anyone else 
You got all the money, you got all the wealth
You got all the buildings and the factories 
You got all the power and the ceremonies


[ A  Bb  C ] x2


You wanna play a game of cat and mouse 
With the President in the White House
This is a hungry world, there are months to feed 
There are millionaires with more than they need

Don't believe what you've been told 
You can't change a turd into gold
Somehow we get all these creeps in control 
It makes me throw up in the toilet bowl


[ A  Bb  C ] x2


You thieving whore, you hustle for bucks 
You take the money and you shoot it up
That's the breaks, it's the chance you take 
Get it together for your children's sake
