On my way on the wrong street
I'm in my car
You're behind in my backbeat
Don't look now, I'm not waiting
You're degrading
Don't think I'm wrong
With your face you kill millions
You're a disgrace to your race and your minions
It's not fair calling on me
Take it from me
I'm counting down

Mission to destroy
You're a boy
I'll do anything it takes to make your black heart sting
I'll take you on the side anytime
It's a lot to ask of you
But I'll do it


Backyard

Over there
I've seen it
You wouldn't dare
For the downside
It would leave you forsaken
Whole head shaking
Body aching
Daughter moonraking now

Are you reeling 'round the curve
Are you losing your nerve
Your motor's running out
And you're looking like a star
In your ruby red bra
It's not enough to leave your boots untied
But darling it's your time

Are you making it your scene
Do your mom and dad scream
'cos leather's on your back
And your boyfriend's on a roll
With his broken glass soul
And hackneyed little resonating lines
But trust me you'll be fine

Over there
I've seen it
You wouldn't dare
For the downside
It would leave you forsaken
Whole head shaking
Body aching
Daughter moonraking now

All the time
I needed some little sign
Just to kick me in the head
And send me one way
Back today
Don't want to play in your backyard anyway

Are you tearing at the seams
Are you having hoop dreams
And ah what dreams they are
And it's breaking my heart
How these things fall apart
Just concentrate on one freak at a time
This world is yours and mine

Over there
I've seen it
You wouldn't dare
For the downside
It would leave you forsaken
Whole head shaking
Body aching
Daughter moonraking now

All the time
I needed some little sign
Just to kick me in the head
And send me one way
Back today
Don't want to play in your backyard anyway
