  1. Welcome to the Jungle (4:31)
    Welcome to the jungle
    We've got fun 'n' games
    We got everything you want
    Honey, we know the names
    We are the people that can find
    Whatever you may need
    If you got the money, honey
    We got your disease
    
    CHORUS:
    
    In the jungle
    Welcome to the jungle
    Watch it bring you to your
    knees, knees
    I wanna watch you bleed
    
    Welcome to the jungle
    We take it day by day
    If you want it you're gonna bleed
    But it's the price you pay
    And you're a very sexy girl
    That's very hard to please
    You can taste the bright lights
    But you won't get them for free
    In the jungle
    Welcome to the jungle
    Feel my, my, my serpentine
    I, I wanna hear you scream
    
    Welcome to the jungle
    It gets worse here everyday
    Ya learn ta live like an animal
    In the jungle where we play
    If you got a hunger for what you see
    You'll take it eventually
    You can have anything you want
    But you better not take it from me
    
    CHORUS
    
    And when you're high you never
    Ever want to come down, YEAH!
    
    You know where you are
    You're in the jungle baby
    You're gonna die
    In the jungle
    Welcome to the jungle
    Watch it bring you to your
    knees, knees
    In the jungle
    Welcome to the jungle
    Feel my, my, my serpentine
    In the jungle
    Welcome to the jungle
    Watch it bring you to your
    knees, knees
    In the jungle
    Welcome to the jungle
    Watch it bring you to your
    It' gonna bring you down-HA!
    
  2. It's so Easy (3:21)
    I see your sister in her
    Sunday dress
    She's out to please
    She pouts her best
    She's out to take
    No need to try
    She's ready to make
    
    It's so easy, easy
    When everybody's tryin' to
    please me, baby
    It's so easy, easy
    When everybody's tryin' to
    please me
    
    Cars are crashin' every night
    I drink n' drive
    everything's in sight
    I make the fire
    But I miss the firefight
    I hit the bull's eye every night
    
    It's so easy, easy
    When everybody's tryin' to
    please me, baby
    Yeah it's so easy, easy
    When everybody's tryin' to please me
    So easy
    But nothin' seems to please me
    It all fits so right
    When I fade into the night
    See me hit you
    You fall down
    
    I see you standin' there
    You think you're so cool
    Why don't you just
    Fuck off
    
    Ya get nothin' for nothin'
    If that's what you do
    Turn around bitch I got a use for you
    Besides you ain't got nothin' better to do
    And I'm bored
    
    It's so easy, easy
    When everybody's tryin' to
    please me, baby
    It's so easy, easy
    When everybody's tryin' to please me
    So easy
    But nothin' seems to please me
    It all fits so right
    When I fade into the night
    So come with me
    Don't ask me where cause I don't know
    I'll try to please you
    I ain't got no money
    But it goes to show
    It's so easy
    
  3. Nightrain (4:26)
    Loaded like a freight train
    Flyin' like an aeroplane
    Feelin' like a space brain
    One more time tonight
    Well I'm a west coast struttin'
    One bad mother
    Got a rattlesnake suitcase
    Under my arm
    Said I'm a mean machine
    Been drinkin' gasoline
    And honey you can make my motor hum
    I got one chance left
    In a nine live cat
    I got a dog eat dog sly smile
    I got a Molotov cocktail
    With a match to go
    I smoke my cigarette with style
    An I can tell you honey
    You can make my money tonight
    
    Wake up late
    Honey put on your clothes
    Take your credit card
    to the liquor store
    That's one for you and
    two for me by tonight
    I'll be loaded like a freight train
    Flyin' like an aeroplane
    Feelin' like a space brain
    One more time tonight
    
    I'm on the nightrain
    Bottoms up
    I'm on the nightrain
    Fill my cup
    I'm on the nightrain
    Ready to crash and burn
    I never learn
    I'm on the nightrain
    I love that stuff
    I'm on the nightrain
    I can never get enough
    I'm on the nightrain
    Never to return-no
    
    Loaded like a freight train
    Flyin' like an aeroplane
    Speedin' like a space brain
    One more time tonight
    I'm on the nightrain
    And I'm lookin' for some
    I'm on the nightrain
    So's I can leave this slum
    I'm on the nightrain
    And I'm ready to crash and burn
    Nightrain
    Bottoms up
    I'm on the nightrain
    Fill my cup
    I'm on the nightrain
    
    Whoa yeah
    I'm on the nightrain
    Love that stuff
    I'm on the nightrain
    An I can never get enough
    Ridin' the nightrain
    I guess I
    I guess, I guess, I guess
    I never learn
    
    On the nightrain
    Float me home
    Ooh I'm on the nightrain
    Ridin' the nightrain
    Never to return
    Nightrain
    
  4. Out ta Get Me (4:20)
    Been hidin' out
    And layin' low
    It's nothin' new ta me
    Well you can always find
    a place to go
    If you can keep your sanity
    They break down the doors
    And they rape my rights but
    They won't touch me
    They scream and yell
    And fight all night
    You can't tell me
    I lose my head
    I close my eyes
    They won't touch me
    'Cause I got somethin'
    I been buildin' up inside
    For so fuckin' long
    
    CHORUS:
    
    They're out ta get me
    They won't catch me
    I'm innocent
    They won't break me
    
    Sometimes it's easy to forget where you're goin'
    Sometimes it's harder to leave
    And everytime you think you know just what you're doin'
    That's when your troubles exceed
    They push me in a corner
    Just to get me to fight but
    They won't touch me
    They preach and yell
    And fight all night
    You can't tell me
    I lose my head
    I close my eyes
    They won't touch me
    'Cause I got somethin'
    I been buildin' up inside
    I'm already gone
    
    Chorus
    
    Some people got a chip on their shoulder
    An some would say it was me
    But I didn't buy that fifth of whisky
    That you gave me
    So I'd be quick to disagree
    
    Chorus
    
    They're out to get me
    They won't catch me
    I'm innocent
    So you can
    Suck me
    Take that one to heart
    
  5. Mr. Brownstone (3:46)
    I get up around seven
    Get outta bed around nine
    And I don't worry about nothin' no
    Cause worryin's a waste of my...time
    
    The show usually starts around seven
    We go on stage around nine
    Get on the bus about eleven
    Sippin' a drink and feelin' fine
    
    Chorus:
    
    We been dancin' with
    Mr. Brownstone
    He's been knockin'
    He won't leave me alone
    
    I used ta do a little
    but a little wouldn't do
    So the little got more and more
    I just keep tryin'
    ta get a little better
    Said a little better than before
    I used ta do a little
    but a little wouldn't do
    So the little got more and more
    I just keep tryin'
    ta get a little better
    Said a little better than before
    
    Chorus
    
    Now I get up around whenever
    I used ta get up on time
    But that old man
    he's a real muthafucker
    Gonna kick him on down the line
    
  6. Paradise City (6:46)
    Just a' urchin
    livin' under the street
    I'm a hard case
    that's tough to beat
    I'm your charity case
    So buy me somethin' to eat
    I'll pay you at another time
    Take it to the end of the line
    
    Ragz to richez or so they say
    Ya gotta-keep pushin'
    for the fortune and fame
    It's all a gamble
    When it's just a game
    Ya treat it like a capital crime
    Everybody's doin' their time
    
    Chorus:
    
    Take me down
    To the paradise city
    Where the grass is green
    And the girls are pretty
    Take me home
    
    Strapped in the chair
    of the city's gas chamber
    Why I'm here I can't quite remember
    The surgeon general says
    it's hazardous to breathe
    I'd have another cigarette
    but I can't see
    Tell me who you're gonna believe
    
    Chorus
    
    So far away
    So far away
    So far away
    So far away
    
    Captain America's been torn apart
    Now he's a court jester
    with a broken heart
    He said-
    Turn me around and
    take me back to the start
    I must be losin' my mind-
    "Are you blind?"
    I've seen it all a million times
    
    Chorus
    
  7. My Michelle (3:39)
    Your daddy works in porno
    Now that mommy's not around
    She used to love her heroin
    But now she's underground
    So you stay out late at night
    And you do your coke for free
    Drivin' your friends crazy
    With your life's insanity
    
    Well, well, well you just can't tell
    Well, well, well my Michelle
    
    Sowin' all your wild oats
    In another's luxuries
    Yesterday was Tuesday
    Maybe Thursday you can sleep
    But school starts much too early
    And this hotel wasn't free
    So party till your connection call
    Honey I'll return the key
    
    Chorus:
    
    Well, well, well you just can't tell
    Well, well, well my Michelle
    Well, well, well you never can tell
    Well, well, well my Michelle
    
    Everyone needs love
    You know that it's true
    Someday you'll find someone
    That'll fall in love with you
    But oh the time it takes
    When you're all alone
    Someday you'll find someone
    That you can call your own
    But till then ya better...
    
    Now you're clean
    And so discreet
    I won't say a word
    But most of all this song is true
    Case you haven't heard
    So c'mon and stop your cryin'
    'Cause we both know money burns
    Honey don't stop tryin;
    An you'll get what you deserve
    
    Chorus
    
  8. Think About You (3:50)
    Say baby you been lookin' real good
    I remember when we met
    Funny how it never felt so good
    It's a feelin' that I know
    I know I'll never forget
    Ooh it was the best time
    I can remember
    Ooh and the love we shared-
    is lovin' that'll last forever
    
    There wasn't much
    in this heart of mine
    There was a little left
    and babe you found it
    It's funny how I never felt so high
    It's a feelin' that I know
    I know I'll never forget
    Ooh it was the best thing
    I can remember
    Ooh and the love we shared-
    is lovin' that'll last forever
    
    I think about you
    Honey all the time
    my heart says yes
    I think about you
    Deep inside I love you best
    I think about you
    You know you're the one I want
    I think about you
    Darlin' you're the only one
    I think about you
    
    Somethin' changed
    in this heart of mine
    An' I'm so glad that ya showed me
    Funny how I never felt so high
    It's a feelin' that I know
    I know I'll never forget
    Ooh it was the best time
    I can remember
    Ooh and the love we shared-
    is lovin' that'll last forever
    
  9. Sweet Child O' Mine (5:55)
    She's got a smile that it seems to me
    Reminds me of childhood memories
    Where everything
    Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
    Now and then when I see her face
    She takes me away to that
    special place
    And if I stared too long
    I'd probably break down and cry
    
    Sweet child o' mine
    Sweet love of mine
    
    She's got eyes of the bluest skies
    As if they thought of rain
    I hate to look into those eyes
    And see an ounce of pain
    Her hair reminds me
    of a warm safe place
    Where as a child I'd hide
    And pray for the thunder
    And the rain
    To quietly pass me by
    
    Sweet child o' mine
    Sweet love of mine
    
    Where do we go
    Where do we go now
    Where do we go
    Sweet child o' mine
    
  10. You're Crazy (3:25)
    I been lookin' for a trace
    Lookin' for a heart
    Lookin' for a lover in a world
    that's much too dark
    You don't want my love
    You want satisfaction
    You don't need my love
    You gotta find yourself another
    Piece of the action, yeah
    
    Said where you goin'
    What you gonna do
    I been lookin' everywhere
    I been lookin' for you
    
    You don't want my love
    You want satisfaction
    You don't need my love
    You gotta find yourself another
    Piece of the action
    'Cause you're crazy
    You're fuckin' crazy
    Ya know you're crazy
    I said you're crazy
    
    Say boy where ya comin' from
    Where'd ya get that point of view
    When I was younger
    Said I knew someone like you
    And they said
    
    You don't want my love
    You want satisfaction
    You don't need my love
    You gotta find yourself another
    Piece of the action
    'Cause you're crazy
    You're fuckin' crazy
    Ya know you're crazy
    I said you're crazy
    Ooh you're crazy
    You know you're crazy
    Well you're crazy
    You know you're crazy
    
    You know you are
    Bring it down
    You're fuckin' crazy
    
  11. Anything Goes (3:25)
    I been thinkin' 'bout
    Thinkin' 'bout sex
    Always hungry for somethin'
    That I haven't had yet
    Maybe baby you got somethin' to lose
    Well I got somethin',
    I got somethin' for you
    
    My way-your way
    Anything goes tonight
    My way-your way
    Anything goes
    
    Panties 'round your knees
    With your ass in debris
    Doin' dat grind
    with a push and squeeze
    Tied up, tied down,
    up against the wall
    Be my rubbermade baby
    An' we can do it all
    
    My way-your way
    Anything goes tonight
    
  12. Rocket Queen (6:13)
    If I say I don't need anyone
    I can say these things to you
    'cause
    I can turn on anyone
    Just like I've turned on you
    I've got a tongue like a razor
    A sweet switchblade knife
    And I can do you favors
    But then you'll do whatever I like
    
    Chorus
    
    Here I am
    And you're a Rocket Queen
    I might be a little young
    But Honey I ain't naive
    Here I am
    And you're a Rocket Queen oh yeah
    I might be too much
    But honey you're a bit obscene
    
    I've seen everything imaginable
    Pass before these eyes
    I've had everything that's tangible
    Honey you'd be suprised
    I'm a sexual innuendo
    In this burned out paradise
    If you turn me on to anything
    You better turn me on tonight
    
    Chorus
    
    I see you standin'
    Standin' on your own
    It's such a lonely place for you
    For you to be
    If you need a shoulder
    Or if you need a friend
    I'll be here standing
    Until the bitter end
    No one needs the sorrow
    No one needs the pain
    I hate to see you
    Walking out there
    Out in the rain
    So don't chastise me
    Or think I, I mean you harm
    Of those that take you
    Leave you strung out
    Much too far
    Baby-yeah
    
    Don't ever leave me
    Say you'll always be there
    All I ever wanted
    Was for you
    To know that I care
