Headlines

(album: Eye Of The Zombie - 1986)

Yeah, hey! What you talking about?

I read it in the paper today,
Two cats howling 'til the break of day.
Up on the back fence, they're making a play;
One stepped across the line, the other blew him away.

Up in the morning, down the road 'n I'm gone;
Been with my sweetie, we was up all night long.
My head is throbbing, man I gotta find a song,
The radio depress me, tell me what's going on?

[CHORUS:]
Headlines, screaming everywhere I go;
Headlines, like I really want to know;
Headlines, gotta million ways to say,
Another crazy day, Headlines.

I saw it on the 6:30 news,
Some freaking deacon wearing military shoes;
He's mad at me, buddy, he's mad at you,
He's gonna drop the Big One and there's nothing I can do.

[CHORUS]

Oh! Just another crazy day.
Do, do, do, do.

Up on the mountain, man I'm feeling alright,
Been to the temple and I'm sleeping at night.
Here come a stranger, need a paper to light,
Man, he's busting with the news about the fighting tonight.

[CHORUS]
[CHORUS]

Oh! Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah!
Whoa! Think I'll play all night!
