sing me a sign, tell me the tune
sing me a sign, play me the news
sing me a sign, major key or blues
throw me a line, sing me the truth
shall we power down the glass
make our peace with the past?
i hear the future at last
SING ME A SIGN, TELL IT TO ME STRAIGHT
SING ME A SIGN, WHISPER MY FATE
make me a melody, spare me the tricks
sing it strong and true
love is perfect pitch
sing me a sign, major key or blues
sing me a sign, play me the news
shall we power down the glass
make our peace with the past?
i hear the future at last
SING ME A SIGN, TELL IT TO ME STRAIGHT
SING ME A SIGN, WHISPER MY FATE
drag those bones out of bed
let's go paint the town dead
it's only life in the way
(don't forget a copy...for the DJ)

Viva of South 2nd St
Got 2 make the ends meet
she wicked and she sweet
and nothin' is for free
she takin' out the knees
of every man she see
from Metro to Flushing
she rock the fake ID
u want some trouble son?
just go and get it done
she put you in her phone
and you do what you're told
the nights are getting long
she got a nose for fun
u take the setting sun and
light her cigarette
VIVA, THE DIAMOND OF THE STREET-A
LA GHETTO FASHIONISTA
THE BUZZ IS GETTING SWEETER ALL THE TIME
SHE-A, THE FLAVOR OF THE BEAT-A
ON UNION AND MEEKER
THE DRUGS ARE GETTING CHEAPER ALL THE TIME
suck that hooch from paper bag and a straw
yr look is highly criminal
dead parties in yr head but
nothin's on yr mind
5 o'clock already it's dark
it's time 2 check the park
so lonely and so beautiful for the holidaze
VIVA, THE DIAMOND OF THE STREET-A

ON UNION AND MEEKER
THE DRUGS ARE GETTING CHEAPER ALL THE TIME
VIVA, MY BODY GETTIN' WEAKER
THE STOCKINGS AND THE SNEAKERS
STEPPIN' ON MY SAD OL' SELF-CONTROL
SHE-A, LOLITA SO UNIQUA
SO DEADLY, SO PETITA
SHE GOT THE OLDEST STORY EVER TOLD
so now yer on the floor and
the speakers jammin' hardcore
the 2 and 3 and 4 and
someone knockin' at the door and
yr phone is blowin' up now
it's 9 and 1 and 1 and
somethin' is very fucked up
you run right outta luck
(CHORUS)

yr head is high so use it

tired of the scene? just end it
if you hate the truth, pretend it

kicked in the eye by the guy with the shiny shoe

pushed to the line
pushed to the fine line,
i see a target on yr back and i'm crawlin' up yr avenue
sick to the teeth
sick to the teeth
hey my name is so-and-so
and i got a score to settle
wicked and weak, safe in yr seat,
yeah YOU
but a hard rain's comin'
and cleanin' out yr gutters
AND NOW I DARE YOU
TO SPEAK OUT LOUD THIS TIME
AND DON'T U DROP THOSE EYES
AND NOW I DARE YOU
TO MAKE YR MOUTH SING TRUTH
OR WOULD YOUR TONGUE FALL OUT
TO SAY IT WITHOUT LIES?
kicked in the fly
kicked in the fly by
kicked in the fly by the sucker with the house in the sky
did ya have a good time?
do you love a surprise?
this time, you
chickenshit mothers
be hangin' by yr ties

(they) got u runnin' like a dog
and i don't blame ya
though it ain't particular-ly courageous
as you stagger into what now awaits ya
will they see the naked fear just behind yr faces
so you gone legitimate but can ya fake it?
will u cradle the remains of a long-lost dream?
now the guilt knocks on yr door, can u take it?
behind the choir of the liars, a steady rising scream
(they) got u runnin' like a dog
and i don't blame ya
though it ain't particular-ly courageous
as you stagger into what now awaits ya
will they see the naked fear just behind yr faces
--
do ya think the history books are gonna name ya?
when you pass yr final hour, ya think they'll look back, proud?
now the cage is open wide but will u leave it?
now the cage is open wide but you don't believe it
there's an eagle in the sky, flying higher
past the steeples and the spires
up away she goes
so you drink yr bitter wine but u can't taste it
for all the days that passed u by
that u damn well wasted
preacher at the podium
promises for everyone
broken legs will never run
see it clearly
windows on the setting sun
all the voices overcome
sing "the end is just begun, la la la...."
(they) got u runnin' like a dog
and i don't blame ya
though it ain't particular-ly courageous
as you stagger into what now awaits ya
will they see the naked fear just behind yr faces
