BE QUICK OR BE DEAD

(Dickinson/Gers)

Covered in sinners and dripping with guilt, making your money from slime and from filth
Parading your bellies in ivory towers, investing our lives in your schemes and your powers
You got to watch them - be quick or be dead
Snake eyes in heaven - the thief in your head
You've got to watch them - be quick or be dead
Snake eyes in heaven - the thief in your head
Be quick
Or be dead
Be quick
Or be dead
See...what's ruling all our lives
See...who's pulling the strings
See...what's ruling all our lives
See...who pulls the strings
I bet you won't fall flat on your face, your belly will hold you in place
The serpent is crawling inside of your ear, he says you must vote for what you want to hear
Don't matter what's wrong as long you're alright, pull yourself stupid and rob yourself blind
You got to watch them - be quick or be dead
Snake eyes in heaven - the thief in your head
You've got to watch them - be quick or be dead
Snake eyes in heaven - the thief in your head
Be quick
Or be dead
Be quick
Or be dead
You got to watch them - be quick or be dead
Snake eyes in heaven - the thief in your head
You've got to watch them - be quick or be dead
Snake eyes in heaven - the thief in your head
Be quick
Or be dead
Be quick

Settle down

She's got legs... like an airship, She's got an ass.... like (unintelligible)
She's got tits... just like hot air balloons... and I mean the Hindenburg!

She's the biggest girl, I'm gonna get there soon

Yeah you know what I mean
She's got love when you want it, but she never lets go when you get it
You disappear inside, you're never seen again... lost forever!
She's the biggest girl, I'm gonna get there soon
Alright, here we go...
Should be some kind of guitar solo here...
Well I met her in a bar, she was propping up the wall
I don't think she was available, she was made of concrete (unintelligible)
I met her in a bar, she was propping up the wall
In fact she was nailed to it
I gotta admit, (unintelligible) babe... lets get down to it baby
She had a brain like a sheep-dip
She got (unintelligible) like a shepherd (unintelligible)
She was a big girl, she was big
I mean she was big, she was fucking huge! Enormous!
Needed a sign overhead (unintelligible)
Never even had landing permission!
One more!
Oh we sailed across the ocean you and me
I looked like a flea on the back of a sperm whale
Oh yeah, I was waving a match inside the Albert Hall

SPACE STATION NO. 5

(Montrose/Hagar)

IM

Start with the sun

And move on out
The future's in the skies above

The heavens unfold

And a new star is born
Space and time makin' love
IM
Oh what a time we had
Living on the ground
I've moved to station #5
See you next time around
IM
Next time around
IM
As far you want, move on out
It's all in the mind, you know
This old world hasn't really seen it's day
It's here, time to go
IM
Oh what a time we had
Living on the ground
I've moved to station #5
See you next time around
IM
Remember when it was so clear
We were young, but the memory still remains
To pick fruit from a tree
Fish from the seas
Now nothing's left here, but the stains
Well I can't cry no more
Can only be glad
There's other places we can be
If the time suits you right
I'm leaving tonight
Come fly away
With me!
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Oh, yeah
IM
Start with the sun
And move on out
The future's in the skies above
The heavens unfold
A new star is born
Space and time makin' love
IM
Oh what a time we had
Living on the ground
I've moved to station #5
See you next time around
