The Lyrical Chain Game

out my way
you know I won't pay your price

 

Stick a pony in your pocket
I'll fetch the suitcas from the van

 

becuase im seriously worried about ray

 

It takes a worried man to sing a worried song

 

I've sang your song
I've danced your dance
I gave your friends all a chance
Putting up with them wasn't worth never having you (sigh)

 

when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
Hope you dance

 

You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, diggin' the dancing queen

 

Why did everybody laugh
when I told them my dream
I guess they all were so far
from that kind of scene

 

Laughing and crying
You know it's the same release

 

Any day now, any day now,
I shall be released.

 

For five long years
I thought you were my man
but I found out I'm just a link in your chain
you got me where you want me
I aint nothin but your fool
you treat me mean you treat me cruel
chain chain chain

 

Please release me, let me go
For I don't love you anymore

 

And it's too late baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it

 

And the noise we thiought would never stop
died a death when the punks grew up

 

Whatever happened to you
Whatever happened to us
We missed the proverbial boat
And the plane and the train and the bus

 

They had a large barge with a radio antenna on it,
that they would charge up and discharge.
(brownie points to anyone who gets the reference!)

 

I'm charged up...Don't put me down
Don't feel like talking...Don't mess around
I feel mean...I feel O.K.
I'm charged up...Electricity

 

Electric woman waits for you and me
So it's time we take a ride,

 

But she's a day-tripper
One way ticket, yeh
