"Stay Vicious" lyrics

"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.
