Lust For Life
Here comes Johnny Yen again
With the liquor and drugs and a flesh machine
He's gonna do another strip tease 

Hey man, where'd you get that lotion
I've been hurting since I bought the gimmick
About something called love 
Yeah, something called love
Well, that's like hypnotising chickens

Well, I'm just a modern guy
Of course, I've had it in the ear before
Cos of a lust for life
Cos of a lust for life

I'm worth a million in prizes
With my torture film, drive a G.T.O.
Wear a uniform all on government loan
I'm worth a million in prizes
Yeah, I'm through with sleeping on the sidewalk
No more beating my brains
No more beating my brains
With the liquor and drugs
With the liquor and drugs

Well, I'm just a modern guy
Of course, I've had it in the ear before
Cos of a lust for life
Cos of a lust for life
I got a lust for life
Got a lust for life
Oh, a lust for life
Oh, a lust for life
A lust for life
I got a lust for life
Got a lust for life 

Well, I'm just a modern guy
Of course, I've had it in the ear before
Cos of a lust for life
Cos of a lust for life

Well, here comes Johnny Yen again
With the liquor and drugs and a flesh machine
I know he's gonna do another strip tease 

Hey man, where'd ya get that lotion
Your skin starts itching once you buy the gimmick
About something called love 
Oh love, love, love 
Well, that's like hypnotising chickens

Well, I'm just a modern guy
Of course, I've had it in the ear before
And I've a lust for life
Cos I've a lust for life
Got a lust for life
Yeah, a lust for life 
I got a lust for life
Oh, a lust for life
I got a lust for life
Yeah, a lust for life
I got a lust for life
A lust for life
Lust for life
Lust for life
Lust for life

Nightclubbing
Nightclubbing, we're nightclubbing
We're what's happening
Nightclubbing, we're nightclubbing
We're an ice machine

We see people, brand new people
They're something to see
Nightclubbing, we're nightclubbing
Oh, isn't it wild

Nightclubbing, we're nightclubbing
We're walking through town
Nightclubbing, we're nightclubbing
We walk like a ghost

We learn dances, brand new dances
Like the nuclear bomb
When we're nightclubbing
Bright, white clubbing
Oh, isn't it wild

The Passenger
I am a passenger and I ride and I ride
I ride through the city's backsides
I see the stars come out of the sky
Yeah, the bright and hollow sky
You know it looks so good tonight

I am the passenger, I stay under glass
I look through my window so bright
I see the stars come out tonight
I see the bright and hollow sky
Over the city's ripped backsides
And everything looks good tonight
Singing la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la

Get into the car, we'll be the passenger
We'll ride through the city tonight
We'll see the city's ripped backsides
We'll see the bright and hollow sky
We'll see the stars that shine so bright
Stars made for us tonight

Oh the passenger - how, how he rides
Oh the passenger - he rides and he rides
He looks through his window - what does he see
He sees the sign and hollow sky 
He sees the stars come out tonight
He sees the city's ripped backsides
He sees the winding ocean drive
And everything was made for you and me
All of it was made for you and me
Cos it just belongs to you and me
So let's take a ride and see what's mine
Singing la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la

Oh the passenger, he rides and he rides
He sees things from under glass
He looks through his window side
He sees the things that he knows are his
He sees the bright and hollow sky
He sees the city sleep at night
He sees the stars are out tonight
And all of it is yours and mine
And all of it is yours and mine
So let's ride and ride and ride and ride

Oh, oh, singing la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
Singing la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
