Stay Vicious

Now I feel just like a stranger, I don't sleep at all anymore.
And the arms that used to hold me
Well, now they've done me harm
And I feel just like a murder
And I feel just like a gun
I been shaking in the hands of somebody
Who's finally had enough
As you step out into the city
No one to find you or recognize
As your black heels kick out
The beat of my heart in perfect time
Singing, la la la la la la la la
Look at you saving my life.
Singing, la la la la la la la
Tonight you're saving my life, yeah
Now I've had the saints and patience
And I wait on the telephone.
I have pills for this, and tabs for that
And something that used to resemble a soul.
So won't anybody take my hand?
And won't anybody ease my ache?
I still love rock and roll, and I still call somebody baby
As you step out into the city
No one to find you or recognize
As your black heels kick out the beat
Of my heart in perfect time
Singing, la la la la la la la la
Look at you saving my life.
Singing, la la la la la la la
Tonight you're saving my life, yeah
As you step out into the city
No one to find you or recognize
As your black heels kick out the beat
Of my heart in perfect time
Singing, la la la la la la la la
Look at you saving my life.
Singing, la la la la la la la
Tonight you're saving my life
Singing, la la la la la la la
Leave it on the end of the knife
Singing, la la la la la la la
Tonight you're saving my life, yeah
