Lyrics

Oh you, you walk on past  
Your lips cut a smile on your face  
Your scalding face  
To the cage, to the cage  
She was a beauty in a cage  
  
Too, too high a price  
To drink rotting wine from your hands  
Your fearful hands  
Get me to a doctor's I've been told  
Someone's back in town the chips are down  
I just cut and blackout  
I'm under Japanese influence  
And my honor's at stake  
  
The weather's grim, ice on the cages  
Me, I'm Robin Hood and I puff on my cigarette  
Panthers are steaming, stalking, screaming  
  
If you don't stay tonight  
I will take that plane tonight  
I've nothing to lose, nothing to gain  
I'll kiss you in the rain  
Kiss you in the rain  
Kiss you in the rain  
In the rain  
Get me to the doctor  
  
Get me off the streets (get some protection)  
Get me on my feet (get some direction)  
Hot air gets me into a blackout  
Oh, get me off the streets  
Get some protection  
Oh get me on my feet (wo-ooh!)  
  
While the streets block off  
Getting some skin exposure to the blackout (get some protection)  
Get me on my feet (get some direction, wo-ooh!)  
Oh get me on my feet  
Get me off the streets (get some protection)
