The Dead Line

[Verse 1] Welcome to the riot, it's saturday night I'm workin' on red eyes but I'm feeling alright Ain't it like a living end, and burning like a flame I take it to the limit before the glory fades You say our music's brainless-boring punk rock A psychedelic nightmare, but when they gonna stop Andrew's on Daniel's, Toody's on Bliss It's all I ever wanted, the best it ever gets [Refrain] My head's a little scattered 'cause I'm working on the dead line [Verse 2] There's a panic going backstage, something just broke Edwin's got a flashlight, looking through the smoke Monitors squeeling and I just broke a string And Andrew's got beer sprayed all over everything Someone tripped the power, the lights are going dim People hanging outside trying to get in Toody's yelling something, I must be out of tune That's the least of my problems, can't hear nothing in this room [Refrain] My head's a little scattered 'cause I'm working on the dead line [Verse 3] Yeah, my life's a broken wire but I'm getting my kicks Another night of chaos with Edwin on the mix Time to load equipment, where the hell did Andrew go ? Weeden's got the t-shirts, and records on the floor Hans and Ruud are talking, man, I need a cigarette They say we're playing Vera, if we don't get in a wreck Toody holds the lighter, when someone has to ask "So why's the candle burning?" 'Cause nothing ever lasts [Refrain] My head's a little scattered 'cause I'm working on the dead line [Spoken Outro] Hey Toody did you see where I put my guitar chords? They were up on my case but I can't find 'em anywhere I can't believe this crap You've got to kidding Edwin?
