I was born in Chicago 1971 I was born in Chicago 1970 What my father told me, "Son, you'd better get a gun." My first friend went down When I was 16 years old Oh my first friend went down When I was 16 years old There's one thing I can say about that boy He gotta go My second friend went down When I was 17 years of age Oh my second friend went down When I was 17 years of age There's one thing I can say about that boy He gotta pray Oh life is a lie If you don't know how to play the game Oh life is a lie If you don't know how to play the game All my friends are going And everything's gonna stay the same(Transcribed by Dan Moss)

Corazon de diablo siempre me intentas rebajar,
Con las cosas que haces
Y las palabras que difundes contra mi.
Corazon de diablo seguiras engañadome,
Con tu falsa sonrisa
Y tus canciones de sirena,
Sonriendo engañando, coqueteas conmigo hasta que no hay esperanza,
Respondiendo degradando, de rodillas intento agradarte.
Pero te quiero sin embargo y te deseo piedad,
A mi lado y veras lo que significas para mi.
Corazon de diablo siempre me intentas rebajar,
Con las cosas que haces
Y las palabras que difundes contra mi, sobre mi.
Corazon de diablo siempre me intentas rebajar,
Con las cosas que haces
Y las palabras que difundes contra mi,sobre mi.
Que harias sin mi,sonriendo,engañando,
Coqueteas conmigo hasta que no hay esperanza.
TRANSLATION
Evil hearted you, you always try to lower me,
With the things that you do and the words you spread against me.
Evil hearted you, you will keep deceiving me,
With your false smile and your mermaid songs,
Smiling,deceiving,you flirt with me 'till there is no hope,
Responding degrading, on my knees I try to befriend you.
But I love you anyway and I wish you pity,
Beside me and you'll see what you mean to me.
Evil hearted you, you always try to lower me,
With the things that you do
And the words you spread against me, over me.
Evil hearted you, you always try to lower me,
With the things that you do
And the words you spread against me,over me.
What would you do without me,smiling,deceiving.
You flirt with me 'till there's no hope.

I know so many people who think they can do it alone They isolate their heads and stay in their safety zone What can you tell them? What can you say that will make them defensive? Hang on to your ego Hang on but I know that you're gonna lose the fight They come on like they're peaceful but inside they're so uptight They trip through the day and waste all their thoughts at night Now how can I say it? How can I come on when I know I'm guilty? Yeah, hang on to your ego Hang on but I know you're gonna lose the fight(Transcribed by Dan Moss)
I stumbled out of bed I got ready for the struggle I smoked a cigarette And I tightened up my gut I said this can't be me Must be my double And I can't forget And I can't forget I can't forget but I don't remember what I'm burning up the road I'm heading down to Phoenix I got this old address Of someone that I knew It was high and fine and free Oh you should've seen us And I can't forget And I can't forget Ican't forget but I don't remember who I'll be there today with a big bouquet of cactus I've got this rig that runs, runs on memory And I promise, cross my heart they'll never catch us But if they do just tell 'em it was me I've loved you all my life And that's how I want to end it The summer's almost gone And winter's tuning up The summer's gone but a lot goes on forever And I can't forget I can't forget I can't forget, but I don't remember what(Transcribed by Dan Moss)

All in a day
All for me
Trek across the space
It'll be just like they say
Oo, oo,
Oo, oo
Yeah
Since I am told
Month number three
He has no memory
Of flyers in the night
Oo, oo
Oo, oo
Yeah
They went away(2X)
My manta ray is all right(4X)
Police they say
My mother too
A fish from Mon Shamoo(?)
Above my head tonight
Oo, oo
Oo, oo
Yeah
There is a way(2X)
My manta ray is all right(7X)
(While Black Francis screams "All right!")
All right
