Sex And Violence
recorded live at CBGBs in 1987
written by Brazelton / Scarperia
lyrics
all i wanna do
is dance until I'm dizzy
beat my feet and twist my vision
sex and violence
sex and violence
will do
too much minor harmony
too much teenage self-pity
never wrote the song
i could listen to for long
but
sex and violence
good ol' sex and violence
will do
if i can't have you
sex and violence will do
maybe you think it's pretty
for women to come and go
talk about their losses and
Michelangelo
cuz babies and men i've lost
but no one wants to hear
the tenderness of tragedy
trickle in their ear
