My lifestyles crazy, I’m luxury lazy So much gold that jewelry don’t phase me Coroless phone, eight or nine homes Girlies on my Jammie with an Ice-T jones Bank account boomin’, fast lane zoomin’ Known around the world for my high post groomin’ Mac like a preacher, love like a teacher Got a girl who lives in Paris, when I want her I beep her Too many clothes, gotta rag top rolls 1.000 Watt system and my speakers are Bose I kick it like a champ, I throught you knew it But pimpin’ ain’t easy But somebody gotta do it My thumbs are tired just from countin’ cash No more room in my diamond stash Filin’ my nails is such a tirin’ task Gold knobs on my benzo dash Five freaks just to comb my hair Monograms on my underwear Bodyguards around so please don’t dare You’re takin’ a chance if you just stop and stare Livin’ my life is just so hard to do Makin’ deals a million one or two Buyin’ new cars for my entire crew Matching Ferraris - E’s black, mine’s blue Can’t swim a lap in my pool because it’s just too long Could never go broke because my bank’s too strong No matter what I do I simply can’t go wrong And I’ll make money, I don’t need this damn song But somebody’s gotta do it When I walk in a joint, punks always look at me hard Because I wear enough gold to tie a dog in a yard Cold maxin’ in my mansion so big it’s silly Got a butler named Humphry and a maid named Milly Mink sheets on my bed, that’s what I said Gourmet chefs in my kitchem so that I can get fed So tired of sailin’ on my boat I might just helicopter To my jet and catch a midnight flight So many girls in my book, it weighs a tom Gotta leave the damn country just to have some fun Private suite at the track to watch the ponies run And there ain’t nothin’ in the word that me an “E” ain’t done But somebody’s gotta do it **– “Somebody Gotta Do It (Pimpin’ Ain’t Easy!!!)”, Ice-T** (1987) ---

Well I hear you went up to Saratoga and your horse naturally won. Then you flew your Learjet up to Nova Scotia To see the total eclipse of the sun. Well you’re where you should be all the time, And when you’re not you’re with Some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend. ---

On the first part of the journey I was looking at all the life There were plants and birds and rocks and things There was sand and hills and rings The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz And the sky with no clouds The heat was hot and the ground was dry But the air was full of sound I’ve been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can remember your name 'Cause there ain’t no one for to give you no pain ---

Full moon is rising The sky is black I heed your call, I’m coming back The road is straight cast Wind’s in my eyes The engine roars between my thighs From desert plains I bring you love From desert plains I bring you love Wild mountain thunder Echoes my quest My body aches, but I’ll not rest Quartz light to guide me Till sunrise leads My passion screams, my heart it bleeds From desert plains I bring you love From desert plains I bring you love **– “Desert Plains”, Judas Priest** (1981) ---

Is this the little girl I carried? Is this the little boy at play? I don’t remember growing older When did they? When did she get to be a beauty? When did he grow to be so tall? Wasn’t it yesterday When they were small? Sunrise, sunset Sunrise, sunset Swiftly flow the days Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers Blossoming even as we gaze Sunrise, sunset Sunrise, sunset Swiftly fly the years One season following another Laden with happiness and tears ---

Listen as the syllables of slaughter cut with calm precision Patterned frosty phrases rape your ears and sow the ice incision Adjectives of annihilation bury the point beyond redemption Venomous verbs of ruthless candour plagiarise assassins fervour Apocalyptic alphabet casting spell the creed of tempered diction My friend, my friend - assassin My friend, my friend - assassin A friend in need is a friend that bleeds A friend in need is a friend that bleeds Let bitter silence infect the wound Let bitter silence infect the wound I am the assassin I am the assassin I am the assassin Assassin! You were a sentimental mercenary in a free fire zone Parading a Hollywood conscience You were a fashionable objector with a uniform fetish Pavlovian slaver at the cash till ring of success A non com observer I, assassin, the collector - defector So you resigned yourself to failure, my friend And I emerged the chilling stranger, my friend To eradicate the problem, my friend Unsheathe the blade within the voice Within the voice - within the voice… And what do you call assassins who accuse assassins anyway, my friend? ---

She can kill with a smile She can wound with her eyes She can ruin your life without telling a lie And she’s only noticed when she wants to be seen She hides as a child But she’s always a ninja to me She can drop from above And annoy her — they’ll grieve you Has a cyanide tooth She can always deceive you And she’ll kill whom she wants and then hide in a tree She can stand on a leaf But she’s always a ninja to me Oh–she takes care of herself She can hide if she wants And she’s always on time Oh–and I’ll never find out Just when did she get in? She is so hard to find ---

Prof., did you write that one yourself? Because Google only returns this thread. 😃 In play: Now listen up, she’s razor sharp If she don’t get her way, she’ll slice you apart Now she’s a cool, cool black Moves like a cat If you don’t get her game You might not make it back She’s got the looks that kill - that kill She’s got the looks that kill - that kill She’s got the looks that kill She’s got the looks that kill Now she’s bulletproof, keeps her motor clean And believe me you, she’s a number thirteen The church strikes midnight She’s lookin’ louder and louder She’s gonna turn on our juice, boy So she turns on the power She’s got the looks that kill - that kill She’s got the looks that kill - that kill She’s got the looks that kill She’s got the looks that kill ---

Apparently a riff on Billy Joel’s “She’s Always a Woman”-I know because I’ve already uploaded it here myself. 😃 Tho the “ninja” thing appears to be either a mondegreen, or a joke on the part of **El Professorio** … Andre has a red flag, Chiang Ching’s is blue They all have hills to fly them on except for Lin Tai Yu Dressing up in costumes, playing silly games Hiding out in tree-tops shouting out rude names -Whistling tunes we hide in the dunes by the seaside -Whistling tunes we’re kissing baboons in the jungle It’s a knockout If looks could kill they probably will In games without frontiers-wars without tears If looks could kill they probably will In games without frontiers-war without tears Games without frontiers-war without tears Jeux sans frontieres… **–Peter Gabriel, "Games Without Frontiers"** ---

But putting the new lyrics in Google only returns this thread, the Billy Joel original, and a bunch of quotes about ninjas. 😉 In play: Searching for certainty When it’s such an unstable world Searching for something good And I’m looking for the real McCoy Blueprint: That says that boy meets girl Picture: Girl meets boy A blueprint that says that the boy meets the girl Picture in a magazine Yes you’ve shown your feelings Yes you’ve shown you’re tough Said things worth believing Tears are not enough Tears are not enough Tears are not enough Slam that door, slap my face But I don’t love you anymore Dry your eyes, sink or swim You surmise you can’t win We all make great mistakes Blueprint: That says that boy meets girl Picture: Girl meets boy A blueprint that says that the boy meets the girl Picture in a magazine Yes you’ve shown your feelings Yes you’ve shown you’re tough Said things worth believing Tears are not enough Tears are not enough Tears are not enough Would I lie Should I lie Could I lie to you?

All of the seasons and all of the days All of the reasons why I’ve felt this way So long… So long Then lost in that feeling I looked in your eyes I noticed emotion and that you had cried For me I can see What would touch me deeper… Tears that fall from eyes that only cry? Would it touch you deeper Than tears that fall from eyes that know why? A lifetime of questions, tears on your cheek I tasted the answers and my body was weak For you The truth What would touch me deeper… Tears that fall from eyes that only cry? Would it touch you deeper Than tears that fall from eyes that know why? –Rush, _ **Tears** _ ---

One more night To bear this nightmare What more do I have to say Crying for me was never worth a tear My lonely soul is only filled with fear Long hours of loneliness Between me and the sea Losing emotion Finding devotion Should I dress in white and search the sea As I always wished to be One with the waves Ocean Soul Walking the tide line I hear your name It’s angels whispering Something so beautiful it hurts **–Nightwish, "Ocean Souls"** ---

Hello, Mirror So glad to see you my friend, it’s been a while Searching, Fearless Where do I begin to heal this wound of self-denial? “Face yourself man!” “Brace yourself and trace your hell back!” You’ve been blinded, living lie A one way cold existence all the while Now it’s time to stare the problem right between the eyes You long lost child I wanna feel your body breaking Wanna feel your body breaking and shaking and left in the cold I want to heal your conscience Making a change to fix this dying soul This dying soul **– “This Dying Soul”, Dream Theater** (2003) ---

With every sun that sets I am feeling more Like a stranger on a foreign shore With an eroding beach disappearing from underneath And when my mirror speaks it never minces words Because these eyes don’t shine half as bright As they used to do and they haven’t for quite a while Because I’m a man who hides from all that binds And a mess of fading lines And there’s a tangled thread inside my head With nothing on either end I always fall in love with an open door With a horizon on an endless sea As I look around the ones who were standing right in front of me And then my mirror speaks with irreverence Like a soldier I can’t command It sees a child in the body of a full-grown man And he’s a man who hides from all that binds And a mess of fading lines And there’s a tangled thread inside his head With nothing on either end There’s nothing on either end A new position for a different view And nothing changes but the slightest hues And I am standing face to face With a man who hides from all that binds And a mess of fading lines And there’s a tangled thread inside his head With nothing on either end I’m a man who hides from all that binds And a mess of fading lines And there’s a tangled thread inside my head With nothing on either end **–Death Cab for Cutie "My Mirror Speaks"** ---

That night Cutie called a cab. Baby, don’t do it She left her East Side room so drab. Baby, don’t do it She went out alone in town Knowing it would make her lover frown. Death cab for Cutie Death cab for Cutie Someone’s going to make you pay your fare. The cab was racing through the night. Baby, don’t do it His eyes, they were keeping Cutie in sight. Baby, don’t do it When he saw Cutie it gave him a thrill Don’t you know that baby cabs can kill? Death cab for Cutie Death cab for Cutie Someone’s going to make you pay your fare. Cutie, don’t you play with fate. Don’t you leave your love alone. If you go out on this date His heart will turn to stone. Bad girl Cutie, what have you done? Baby, don’t do it Slipping, sliding down on Highway 31. Baby, don’t do it The traffic lights change from green to red. They tried to stop but they both wound up dead. Death cab for Cutie Death cab for Cutie Someone’s going to make you pay your fare. Someone’s going to make you pay your fare. Someone’s going to make you pay your fare Someone’s going to make you pay your fare. **- Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, "Death Cab for Cutie"** [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/game-speak-to-me-only-in-song-lyrics/658502.md?page=231) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/game-speak-to-me-only-in-song-lyrics/658502.md?page=233)
