About This Track

'Scream' by Billy Idol is a rock song from 'Devil's Playground'. Released in 2005, it drives forward with a swaggering, flirtatious energy, imagining a partner as a force that can take control while the narrator stays hungry for more. The lyrics turn on a mix of appetite and compulsion, with vivid, playful images like a “lemon tree” and repeated insistence on return and pursuit. It is the kind of romantic power play where the language stays bright and percussive, even when it leans darkly on stolen soul, lock and key, and an almost mechanical readiness to roll.

"Scream" is a single by Billy Idol, from the album Devil's Playground, released 21st March 2005. The track is 4:43 long. It's filed under Rock. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 2 articles about Billy Idol.

Lyrics

Scream

Ooh yeah
You can fill my cup
You can fill my bowl
This train is ready to roll
Your eyes of fire has stole my soul
Still coming back for more
You are the lock I am the key
Climb on my lemon tree
You are the one you're on your knees
You are my little queen
You know just what I mean
Climb on my lemon tree
Make me scream
All night, all night long
Gonna get extreme
All night, all night long
Make me scream
All night, all night long
Gonna get obscene
All night, all night long
All night, all night long
Pretty baby in the back of my car
Look now you've gone too far
Have a slice of my lemon pie
One more will get you high
You want to know, you want to see
How much you can squeeze
You are the one,
You are a tease
You love my demon seed
You know just what I mean
Climb on my lemon tree
Make me scream
All night, all night long
Gonna get extreme
All night, all night long
Make me scream
All night, all night long
Gonna get obscene
All night, all night long
All night, all night long
Suck it!
Mmm alright!
No!
Ah ah ah yeah!
Yeah!
You took me in the wild
No one around for miles
You ain't too proud to beg
Juice running down my leg
I want a chick who makes me feel
Mm, closer dear
I want you to be free
I want you lovin' me
I want to hear you scream
I want you just like me
Make me scream
All night, all night long
Gonna get extreme
All night, all night long
Make me scream
All night, all night long
Gonna get obscene
All night, all night long
All night, all night long
