Kiss The Motherlode

(album: Hold On To Me - 1988)

It's always after midnight
Inside the killing yard
Hot steam and grime, they're doing time
I believe they do it hard

They're sinking at the gold mine
It's always touch and go
They'll hit the roof, when they see the proof
Out on missionary row

Don't get nervous
Pretend you're doing fine
Don't get nervous
It's not the end of the line

Going down heartache road
You really kiss the motherlode
Going down heartache road
You really kiss the motherlode

They're swinging in the death-house
Twisting in their tombs
Three secret knocks and Satan rocks
Into the powder room

They're making big decisions
They won't leave us alone
One last dance, a blind shot chance
Trouble on the phone

Don't get nervous
Pretend you're doing fine
Don't get nervous
It's not the end of the line

Going down heartache road
You really kiss the motherlode
Going down heartache road
You really kiss the motherlode
