1. WILD FLOWER

Hey you
You're a wild honey child
I'm out of control
Every time you are near me
I'm a wolf child, baby
And I'm howlin' for you
My heart beats faster
Hey hey, and it's overpowered

I'm a wolf child, girl
Howling for you
Wild flower
Star of my dreams
The most beautiful thing

Yeah you
Sweet sensation of a nation
Oh, my soul
You're a perfect creation
You're an angel, baby
And I'm crying for you
My heart beats faster
Yea hey, and I'm overpowered

I'm a wolf child, girl
Howling for you
Wild flower
Star of my dreams
The most beautiful thing
Wild flower
I love you every hour
Wild flower
Burning down the night
Set the world alight, yeah

Wild flower
I'm a wolf child, girl
Howling for you
Wild flower
You're the star of my dreams
Most beautiful thing
Wild flower
I love you every hour
Wild flower
I love you every hour

Crazy about you
Crazy about you, girl
Crazy about you

2. PEACE DOG

Oh, peace is a dirty word
She used to be a painted bird
And war, she's a whore
Don't you know we love her more and more

Peace is a dirty word
She used to be a painted bird
War, she's a whore
Don't you know we love her more and more

B52 baby, way up in the sky
Come dropping your loving on me, child
B52 baby, way up in the sky
Drop your love on me tonight

Poor man, sad man, you should be a glad man
Stand up for your rights, peace, talking about peace
Good dog, bad dog, roll over and play dead
Do it again, baby, peace, peace dog

B52 baby, way up in the sky
Come dropping your loving on me, child
A B52 baby, way up in the sky
Drop your love on me

Oh, war, she's a loser
Peace dog user

Come dropping your loving on me child

3. LIL DEVIL

Living in a shack in a one-horse town
Trying to get to heaven 'fore the sun goin' down
Lizard in a bottle, yeah

Dizzy in a haze for 40 days
Hey there, little devil

Come on little devil
Be my little angel
Come on little devil
Be my, yeah, angel

Oh, she came on with an alligator smile
Dynamite lover, scorpion child
Trying to get to heaven 'fore the sun goes down

She came on with a cyclone kiss
Hey there baby, you don't never miss
Lizard in a bottle

Come on little devil
Be my little angel
Come on little devil
Be my little angel, angel

Come on little devil
Be my little angel
Come on little devil
Be my, oh be my, angel


4. APHRODISIAC JACKET

Sitting on a mountain, looking at the sun
Plastic fantastic lobster telephone

Drive on baby, through the electric night
All the way sister, in the taxi of life

Cooking in the kitchen, insects on the bone
Hazy, lazy, dream world dripping on
Waiting for a time bomb, yeah, tick, tick, tick away
Something on the radio, yeah, yeah, drip, drip, drip, all day

Drive on baby, through the electric night
All the way sister, in the taxi of light
The sunshine glows, but nobody knows
The nighttime's gone, keep driving on

Aphrodisiac jacket
Napoleon machine gun
Living on a subway
From dusk till dawn

Push baby, push, push, push

Sitting on a mountain, we're looking at the sun
Plastic fantastic lobster telephone, yeah

Drive on baby, through the electric night
All the way sister, in the taxi of light
The sunshine glows, but nobody knows
The nighttime's gone, keep driving on


5. ELECTRIC OCEAN

Standing at the shore
A hurricane calls my name
Beyond all I dream
The electric ocean

The spirit is free
Where the wild things roam
Next to the sea
The electric ocean

Ocean of love, ocean of love
I'm thinking of, I'm thinking of
The place to be, the place to be
Electric sea

Ocean of love, ocean of love
I'm thinking of, I'm thinking of
The place to be, the place to be
Electric, electric sea

Standing at the shore
A velvet song calls my name
Beyond all I feel
The electric ocean

Ocean of love
I'm thinking of
The place to be
The electric sea

Ocean of love, ocean of love
I'm thinking of, I'm thinking of
The place to be, the place to be
The electric, the electric sea


6. BAD FUN

Bad fun sister, time to go
Life's too short, on with the show
I said, get your kicks on the razor's edge
Atomic bomb overhead

Set controls for the sun
Bad fun baby just begun
Rhythm like a rumbling train
Hit those skins, explode my brain

Spirit like a rumbling train
Spirit of the thundering rain
Vibrations got you on the run
Electric child on bad fun

Mayhem children take no lip
Rev your engine from the hip
Yeah nighttime, she's calling you
Ghetto star you'll go far

Dress up in your fancy clothes
Set good times to overload
Rhythm like a rumbling train
Hit those skins, explode my brain

Spirit like a rumbling train
Spirit of the thundering rain
Vibrations got you on the run
Electric child on bad fun

Spirit like a rumbling train
Spirit of the thundering rain
Vibration got you on the run
Electric child on bad fun, get up

Spirit like a rumbling train
Spirit of the thundering rain
Vibrations got you on the run
Electric child on bad fun

Spirit like a rumbling train
Spirit of the thundering rain
Vibration got you on the run
Electric child on bad fun


7. KING CONTRARY MAN

I saw the devil
The contrary man
I saw the devil down the long, long road
He said to me, boy
He said to me, boy
He said to me, boy
I want your soul
I said no
I said no
I said no
You can't take my soul
No
I said no
I said no, no
You can't take my soul

I took a while and thought about it
Down at the crossroads tempting fate
I took a while and thought about it
Down at the crossroads tempting fate
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You can take my soul
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You can take my soul
Take my soul
I want it all

Play it, baby

Zany antics of a beat generation
In their wild search for kicks
Fighting, drinking, scorning convention
Making wild love, making wild love

I saw the devil
The contrary man
I saw the devil down the long, long road
He said to me, boy
He said to me, boy
He said to me, boy
I want your soul
I said yeah
I said yeah
I said yeah

I want it all
I want it all


8. LOVE REMOVAL MACHINE

Fell to the red room because she was there
A scarlet woman, she got me in fear
She said, do all those things that you do to me
You know what I mean, boy
Do all those things that you do to me

Talking about love
Love remover
Talking about love
Love remover machine
Talking about love
Gimme love, soul shaker

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, I fell from the sky
Yesterday, you blew my mind
Having trouble with my direction
Upside-down, psychotic reaction

9. BORN TO BE WILD

Get your motor running
Head out on the highway
Looking for adventure
And whatever comes our way

Yeah darling, gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racing with the wind
And the feeling that I'm under

Yeah darling, gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

Like a true nature's child
We were born
Born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die

Born to be wild
Born to be wild

Get your motor running
Head out on the highway
Looking for adventure
And whatever comes our way

Yeah darling, gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

Like a true nature's child
We were born
Born to be wild
We can climb so high
And I never wanna die

Born to be wild
Born to be wild


10. OUTLAW

Terrorise, prophesize
Small town any place
Prodigal son, hey loyal to none
He had it all to say
Renegade from another world
Child, he was the wild one

Outlaw
From the badlands baby, badlands baby
Outlaw
Tomorrow will never come

Jimi was a boogie man
Took a shotgun in his hand
Turned on dude candyman
He walked into the wrong town
Deputy dog man wait inside
Jimi thought he'd better hide
Suddenly changed his mind
Shot them all on sight

Outlaw
From the badlands baby, badlands baby
Outlaw
Dizzy in the head and feeling bad
Bandito
Fallen angel, out of time
Outlaw
Tomorrow will never come

Renegade from another world
Child, he was the wild one

Outlaw
From the badlands baby, badlands baby
Outlaw
Dizzy in the head and feeling bad
Bandito
Fallen angel, out of time
Outlaw
Tomorrow will never come


11. MEMPHIS HIP SHAKE

You got a perfect way
All the things that you play
Cut clearly like a knife to the bone
Mama's calling you
You'll never get back home
Never get back home
Never get back home

Cool operator with a rattlesnake kiss
Angelic poses that never miss
Reverberation shuffle to the bone

Shake the world to the ground
Memphis hip swinging to the guitar sound

All the time, baby
All the time
Baby, get it while it's real good
All around the world
Sure do need guitar

You'll never get back home, no, no, no
You'll never get back home

Cool operator with a rattlesnake kiss
Angelic poses that never miss, no they don't
Reverberation shuffle to the bone

Shake the world to the ground
Memphis hip swinging to the guitar sound
