Raw Deal

[Verse 1]

I made The Spike about nine o'clock on a Saturday

All eyes hit me as I walked into the bar

Them steel and leather guys were fooling with the denim dudes

A couple cops playing rough stuff, New York, Fire Island

[Chorus]

I cased the joint, straining at the seams

[Verse 2]

I moseyed up to the counter and the tender came a-grinnin'

I snapped the smile off his face and snarled "Give me a bourbon"

The mirror on the wall was collecting and reflecting

All the heavy bodies ducking, stealing eager for some action

The scene screwed me up, I saw some contact

[Chorus]

Then the big boss saw me and knew that

[Post-Chorus]

I'd had too much, floating around

Statues alive, seconds are hours

[Guitar Solo: Glenn Tipton]

[Verse 3]

Sex like a hurricane, it's ravaging and shattering

I was barely holding on to this flying body symphony

I guess I dream in pictures, not colours

The true free expression I demand is human rights, right?

[Chorus]

I came alive, I am immortal

[Bridge]

I'm going, no loss

I'm going, no loss

I'm going, no loss

I'm going, no loss

Love, love

Love

Love, love

Love

[Outro]

Nightmare, just a bunch of goddamn rotten, steaming

Raw, Deal!
