new york dolls - dance like a monkey

Your design's so intelligent
Ain't no way that was an accident
Come on shake your monkey hips
My pretty little creationist
Oh yeah
Ain't gonna anthropomorphize ya
Or perversely polymorphosize ya
Oh yeah

Little girl you look so sweet
(you got hips like a monkey, hips like a monkey)

You just started ten thousand years ago
Presto, Adam and Eve, but go man go
Abel died, Cain took his life
And headed straight for the jungle to find a wife.
(Wow)

Nonbelievers running out on apes
This monkey time I want to see you shake

Evolution is obsolete
(you gotta dance like a monkey, dance like a monkey, child)
Stomp your hands and clap your feet
(you gotta dance like a monkey, dance like a monkey, child)

Oh one more time, yo
It's monkey time!

Come on pretty baby won't you take a chance
Be my natural selection, dance dance dance
Exorcise your demons with that monkey friend
Because we're gonna inherit the wind

Let them fight it out in the Supreme Court
That's such a mad lame indoor sport
Wave your arms and legs in the air
Rock it like a monkey, like you just don't care

Evolution is so obsolete
Gotta stomp your hands and clap your feet
(you gotta dance like a monkey, dance like a monkey
you gotta dance like a monkey, dance like a monkey...)

new york dolls - dancing on the lip of a volcano

Been cravin' more life and more love
That lives in the soul of my heart
Don't wanna be no artist
I'm a dancin', singin' work of art

You lit my heart with fiery aggression and you showed me
The fury of love, sex and affection that ya owed me

(In danger)
But I ain't scared
(In danger)
I found the splendor there

(Dancin')
Atop a flamin' pit
(We're dancing)
We are creating it
(We're dancing)
Right on the lip of a volcano

Nature with its true voice cries out, undissembled, "Be as I am!"
Revealed in its wildest, most generous incarnation

(In danger)
Devil-may-care
(In danger)
The fire's everywhere

(We're dancing)
So let the fire lick
(We're dancing)
We are creating it
(We're dancing)
On the lip of a volcano
Let's dance!

In the center of action of my psyche's need for love
I want liberation and joy
In a paroxysm of intoxication, inspiration
Ain't no way to be coy

(In danger)
A blazing glare
(in danger)
I found the splendor there

(Dancing)
Won't letcha slip
(We're dancing)
Let the lava rip
(We're dancing)
On the lip of a volcano

(Dancing)
We are creating it
(We're dancing)
So let the fire rip
(We're dancing)
Right on the lip of a volcano
A volcano
A volcano

Thrown in the dance with the mystics
Burning me up with its music
Sensualistic
Ritualistic
Alchemistic
Polytheistic

new york dolls - don t start me talking

Goin' down to Rosie's

Her boyfriend say

But don't you start me talkin'
I'll tell ev'rything I know

Because somebody's gotta go

Jackie's wife two dollars

And gonna blackeen her eye
So when she gets back home
Tells her husband a lie

Don't you start me talkin'
'Cause I'll tell ev'rything I know
I'm breakin' this signifyin'
Because somebody's gotta go

She borrowed some money
Ran on down the beauty shop
You know when she honked the horn
You know she began to stop and said

Goin' down around the block
I'm goin' down the beauty shop
And get my hair styled

Don't you start me talkin'
'Cause I'll tell ev'rything I know

Because somebody's gotta go

An' I ain't goin' no further, no!

new york dolls - fishnets & cigarettes

I was sittin there all alone
I was praying you would come home
I was listening to an old Blues song

(Muffled lines)

Getting a little impatient
Smoking like a mental patient
Happiness. Fishnets and Cigarettes
I'll be a monkey in a dress
Tell me who can I impress?***
I might be snared by love

Im gonna get a friend of mine ***
Who is treating me so unkind
But in my heart it is an old Blues song

Being full an ambigous
Mischevious and perfect
Happiness. Fishnets and Cigarettes
I'll be a monkey in a dress
Tell me who can I impress?***
I might be snared by love

Talk about slaying a snake ???
You got my heart bound up in shame
But in my soul its an old Blues song

It's like life can be so tragic
Until you see the magic
Happiness. Fishnets and Cigarettes
I'll be a monkey in a dress

I'm talking about happiness
Fishnets and Cigarettes
I'll be a monkey in a dress
Tell me who can I impress?***
I might be snared by love

Hey baby, Hey baby

Hey baby, Hey baby

new york dolls - frankenstein

Something must have happened over Manhattan
Who can expound all the children this time
Could they ever, could they ever
Expect such a Frankenstein, Frankenstein
I remember when you were jammin'
You worked at 'em and any of them
There was never nothing you would ever understand
But you know who was there to be your master
Making his demands and plans
As though he's making his friends
And when those plans they don't mix your style
You get a feeling of your own ordeal
That's when he starts calling you, wow
Bud, you just don't know what to do
So now you come around here
And you're trying to take over the town
Just because of back home, baby
Oh, he puts you down
Oh, baby, how he puts you down
I know they put you down

So now, you're off starting 'round here
Here you ask and demand
In a place where they don't expect nothing
You're trying not to dirty your hands
When asking you as a person
Is it a crime, is it a crime
For you to fall in love with Frankenstein
Is it wrong, could it be wrong
Wrong, baby, don't you want a friend
Cause you're trying to be so selective
You never realize the whole time
Who's the one you're loving
Misunderstood like a Frankenstein
And down, down, down, just go just down
Like Frankenstein, like Frankenstein

So now you're telling me
What everytime you can get down home
Well don't you know there's place, it is my home
So where am I gonna go
You know, when you don't expect nothing
You know, when you're not alone, you know you're not alone
Cause something must have happened over them higher
Who can expound all the children this time
Could you ever, could you ever
Expect such a Frankenstein, Frankenstein, Frankenstein

And all this shoes are too big
And house jacket's too small
How you don't know Frankenstein, a Frankenstein
We're asking yu as a person
Is it a crime, is it a crime
For you to fall in love in with Frankenstein
Wrong, could it be wrong
Baby, don't you want a friend
Well, Frankenstein, oh, Frankenstein, Frankenstein
You're gonna get it, you're gonna get it
You're gonna get it, from Frankenstein
That's what I'm gonna shout about
Gonna scream about, I'm gonna shout about, scream about
Scream about, shout about a Frankenstein
Frankenstein, Frankenstein, Frankenstein

I've gotta ask you one question
Do you think that you could make it with Frankenstein?

new york dolls - gimme luv and turn on the light

Something has shot me through
Just like the livin' truth
Gimme luv and turn on the light

How long has it been dark
Without the slightest spark
Gimme luv and turn on the light

All light shines in darkness
Where else could it shine?
Could it?

We're the proper troglodytes
Everybody loves a fight
Gimme luv and turn on the light

This is infinity
This is eternity
This is my destiny!

Foolishness and wisdom are practically the same
Different two opinions of the world
Of the world
Of the world!

Jumpin' out of room and life (?)
It's all struggle and strife
Gimme luv and turn on the light

When I come over the hill
With a folded dollar bill
It's "Baby where you been so long?"

Our shortcomings may be more
Than merely human after all
After all... after all... after all...

After all.

new york dolls - gotta get away from tommy

Tommy's got a brother named Thomas
And another brother named Tom.
His father is a professional fighter
And I think so is their Mom.

Gotta get away, Gotta get away
Get away from Tommy
One time and won't get away
Won't stay away from me, get away from me, Tommy

Tommy gets his wisdom through excess
Tommy don't hold no scorn
Transcends limits of his culture
The very one from where I was born

Gotta get away, Gotta get away
Get away from Tommy
One time and won't get away
Won't stay away from me, get away from me, Tommy

Tommy don't follow no tradition
The song that he sings is his own
I can hear the machine(?) bells ringing
I don't wanna die alone.

Gotta get away, Gotta get away
Get away from Tommy
One time and won't get away
Won't stay away from me
Gotta get away, Gotta get away
Get away from Tommy
One time and won't get away
Won't stay away from me, Get away from me, Tommy!

new york dolls - i ain t got nothing

When I come down and all my money is spent
Try as I may I don't know where it went.
For the good times and all the fun that I had
Just can't remember when I felt so bad.
It don?t make no sense and it seems so odd
And it makes me wonder if there's a god...

I ain't got nothing, After the fall
I ain't got nothing, I got no one to call
I ain't got nothing, Feeling so small
I ain't got nothing, nothing, nothing at all

This is not how the end should have come
Who could have imagined this when I was young?
Where is everybody? It's not the way I wanted it to be.
But the paths I took, they are all outgrown.
The party's over, I?m all alone.

I ain't got nothing, After the fall
I ain't got nothing, Feeling so small
I ain't got nothing, I got no one to call
I ain't got nothing, nothing, I got nothing at all

All the magic, it's all that I knew
Just disappearing hasn't left a clue
No one's talking on my behalf
Hearing the silence as I pour some laughs.
There was a time, I could have cried
Heeded my feelings, crawled up and died.

I ain't got nothing, After the fall
I ain't got nothing, I got no one to call
I ain't got nothing, Against the wall
Now ain't that something, nothing, I got nothing at all.
