Album: Kicked And Klawed

Nine Lives (save Me)

Born into sin with an apple in my hand
A devil of a kid, I made an early stand
Educated, medicated ain't part of my scene
I'm gettin' out tonight, I'm feelin' real mean

I've got a lover downtown
She never give me the shove
Only her love
From heaven above
I've been in and out, good to bad
Best to the worst
Sure I've been cursed
But it's a life
Woo! Mmm yeah

Hot tricks uptown, east side my crowd
Screamin' in the night with the fireflies
Oh, don't you know Gypsy Joe's got a heart of gold
With a jingle in the pocket and stars in his eyes, yeah!

Well I'm a first class hot top
Struttin' my stuff
Turnin' 'em on
Turnin' 'em down
I could have been a millionaire
Or a senator's son
But I'm a bum
I'm havin' some fun
Oh Mr. Minister administer
To me and my soul
I gotta come clean
Before I get old
You see I got a mean streak
From my head to my toes
Everyone knows
I'm a hopeless soul

Oh won't somebody save me
Won't anybody, somebody save me
If there's a God, oh my God
Why won't you save me
I'm goin' down, yes I am
I'm gonna lose my mind
Oh woo!

Ah-ah-ah-ow!
Oh
Oh, zhay, oh, zhay, ahh heh yeah heh!

Shoo wah
Wah bop-a-loo-bop
Sha-bop bam bam
Wah bop-a-loo-bop
Sha-bop bam bam!

I'm a wheeler
A double dealer
And I'm a sinful mother's son
Don't tread on me
Cuz baby I'll tear you a new one
Yes I will

Ow! Come on, come on!
And save me
Won't anybody, somebody save me
If there's a God, oh my God
Why won't you save me
I'm goin' down, yes I am
I'm gonna lose my mind

Ah yeah!
Anybody, somebody save me
Well I'm a captain of
A sinkin' ship
I'm goin' down, yes I am
I'm gonna lose my mind

Yeah yeah!
Come on, come on and save me baby
I'm goin' down, yes I am
I'm gonna lose my mind

Woo!
Oh yeah!
