Oh, I can't take another heartache Though you say you're my friend I'm at my wits' end You say your love is bonafide But that don't coincide With the things that you do And when I ask you to be nice, you say
You've gotta be cruel to be kind in the right measure Cruel to be kind, it's a very good sign Cruel to be kind means that I love you, baby (You've gotta be cruel) You've gotta be cruel to be kind
Well, I do my best to understand, dear But you still mystify And I want to know why I pick myself up off the ground To have you knock me back down Again and again And when I ask you to explain, you say
You've gotta be cruel to be kind in the right measure Cruel to be kind, it's a very good sign Cruel to be kind means that I love you, baby (You've gotta be cruel) You've gotta be cruel to be kind
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

I remember one night the kid cut off his right arm In a fit to save a bit of power He got fifty thousand watts In a big acoustic tower Security's so tight tonight Oh they're ready for a tussle Gotta keep your backstage passes 'Cause your promoter had the muscle
And so it goes and so it goes And so it goes and so it goes But where it's goin' no one knows And so it goes and so it goes And so it goes and so it goes But where it's goin' no one knows
In the tall building sit the head of our nations Worthy men from Spain and Siam All day discussions with the Russians But they still went ahead and vetoed the plan Now up jumped the U.S. representative He's the one with the tired eyes 747 put him in that condition Flyin' back from a peace keepin' mission
In the air there's after shave lotion in the wake of a snakey Persian On his arm there's a skin tight vision Wonder why she ain't mine shes his
We're in the heart of the city Where the alligator roams I'm a little lost lamb Ain't got no place to go I ain't got one penny Just got a shirt on my back I left home in a hurry I ain't never goin' back I'm lookin' for a lover in the heart of the city
Well I'm a standin' on the street And I'm a steppin' off the end Yeah I'm lookin' for a lover Lookin' lookin' everywhere Maybe I'm in with a chance I hear a clickety clack There's a girl my Lord I see her stop, check, turn and double back I'm lookin' for a lover in the heart of the city
I'm lookin' I'm lookin' I'm lookin' I'm lookin' I'm lookin' lookin' lookin' lookin' everywhere In the heart of the city
We're in the heart of the city We're in the heart of the stars I hear the crash of music And a thousand guitars And the boys are on the prowl And they're checkin' on me They know a bird up in the hand Is worth two out on the streets Checkin' on neat in the heart of the city
Heart heart of the city Heart heart oh yeah Heart heart of the city Heart heart oh yeah [repeat to fade]
Little Hitler, what you doin' Is the passion inflamed again, again Little Hitler, where you goin' Is it go go night again tonight Ever searchin' for the action But the action don't want to know I said all along you're a tough one (Little Hitler)
Little Hitler, what's the matter now Can't you settle for the center of attention Little Hitler, now I'm serious Let me guess why you knocked me Off your guest list
As the world turns At the edge of night And the seed is shot and sown I'll make a Little Hitler of my own (Little Hitler)
When the goin' gets tough The tough get goin' Every now and then l can see 'em runnin', runnin' You can talk with them You can be shot with them But you'll get no change Only shootin' at 'em long range
See you someday soon (Little Hitler) Selfish pleasure, yeah (Little Hitler) With the one I love (Little Hitler) Now you're not alone...yeah (Little Hitler) With the one I love (Little Hitler) Little Hitler of my own (Little Hitler)
Once I was a soldier I rode on a big white horse Silver pistols at my side Carryin' the flags of war And I Iost track of the men who fell In the canon's roar I never got over bein' a soldier
Once I was a tax man Collectin' dollars and dimes I heard the rich man grumble I heard the poor man cry Some few couldn't afford to pay Were put to a shackle and key I never got over bein' a tax man
Once I was a ruler About twelve inches long Three times me made a yardstick 36 inches high 36 inches high was I 36 inches high I never got over 36 inches high
Marie Provost did not look her best The day the cops bust into her lonely nest In the cheap hotel up on Hollywood West July 29
She'd been lyin' there for two or three weeks The neighbors said they never heard a squeak For hungry eyes that could not speak Said even little doggie's have got to eat
She was the winner That became the doggie's dinner She never meant that much to me Woe, poor Marie
Marie Provost was a movie queen Mysterious angel of the silent screen And run like the wind the nation's young men steam When Marie crossed the silent screen
Oh she came out west from New York But when the talkies came Marie just couldn't cope Her public said Marie take a walk All the way back to New York
She was the winner That became the doggie's dinner She never meant that much to me But now I see, poor Marie
Those twin balms didn't help her sleep As her nights grew long and her days grew bleak It's all downhill once you've passed your peak Mary got ready for that last big sleep
The cops came in and they looked around Throwing up everywhere over what they found The handywork of Marie's little dachshund That hungry little dachshund
She was the winner That became the doggie's dinner She never meant that much to me Woe, poor Marie
Poor Marie, poor Marie, poor poor Marie Poor Marie, poor Marie, poor Marie
I made an American squirm And it feel so right On the screen was the musical war Deep deep into the night
Yes i was spreading In the wonderful world Everything was fine Tried to mate in hot of the state Deep deep into the night
It goes on and on and on It goes on and on and on
But I thank you for the time Yes, I thank you for the time I killed the time
It goes on and on and on It goes on and on and on It goes on and on and on
But the funky for the time Yes, I thank you for the time I killed the time
I made an American squirm And it feel so right On the screen was the comical time Deep deep into the night Deep deep into the night Deep deep into the night
Cracking up, I'm getting ready to go Had enough, I can't take any more No pills that I can take This is too real and there ain't no escape
It scare the daylights It make a nightmare I'm tense and I'm nervous Everybody all around me Shakin' hands and sayin' howdie
I don't think it's funny no more
Cracking up, Like a worn out shoe Ain't wet, but the world leakin' through I'd run, but I find no pace I laugh, but it's wrecking me Wrecking me
It make a shiver, it make a shake It make a monster, just like an earthquake Everybody havin' fun I don't know how they can carry on
'Cause I don't think it's funny no more
At dead of night time, at crack of dawn It comes upon me without warning If I were a gunman I would shoot I'd tear the hair out by the root I'd make a knife out of a notion All at sea in an ocean of a emotion
I don't think it's funny no more I don't think it's funny no more Cracking up
I don't think it's funny no more Cracking up I don't think it's funny no more Cracking up I don't think it's funny no more Cracking up I don't think it's funny no more Cracking up

Heart, why are you pounding like a hammer Heart, why are you beating like a drum Heart, why do you make such a commotion When I'm waiting for my baby to come
Oh heart, don't do it if it's not the real thing Heart, I get so easily deceived Heart, there is no other I can turn to If not you, heart, then who can I believe
* Oh heart, there must be no mistake Beware, special care from the start Oh heart, though I'm glad For the first bit of love we've had Make certain or else you're gonna break Heart, you motor of emotion Heart, you've never been like this before Heart, at first I thought that you were joking But I know deep down in you that you're sure
* repeat
Oh heart, heart, heart I said heart (Repeat and fade)
