Frankenstein

(альбом: New York Dolls - 1973)

Something must have happened
Over Manhattan
Who can expound
All the children this time?
Could they ever, could they ever
Expect such a Frankenstein?
A Frankenstein

I remember when you were children
You worked at 'em and any of them
There was never nothing
You would ever understand
But you know who was there to be your master
Making his demands and plans
As though he's making his friends
When those plans they don't fit your style
You get a feeling of your own ordeal

That's when he starts calling you out
But you just don't know what to do
So now you come around here
And you're trying to take over the town
Just because of back home baby
How he puts you down
Oh, baby, how he puts you down
I know they put you down

So now, you're off starting 'round here
Be your guest at your demands
In a place where they don't expect nothing
You're trying not to dirty your hands
When asking you as a person
Is it a crime?
Is it a crime
For you to fall in love with Frankenstein?

Is it wrong?
Could it be wrong?
Wrong, baby, don't you want a friend?
'Cause you're trying to be so selective
You never realize the whole time
Who's the one you're loving
Misunderstood like a Frankenstein
And down, down, down, just a bit less down
Like Frankenstein
Like a Frankenstein

So now you're telling me
What everytime you can get on home
Well don't you know this place, it is my home?
So where am I gonna go?
You know, when you don't expect nothing
No, you're not alone
You know you're not alone
But something must have happened over Manhattan

Who can expound all the children this time?
Could they ever, could they ever
Expect such a Frankenstein?
A Frankenstein
Frankenstein

And all this shoes are too big
And house jacket's too small
I'll show you a Frankenstein
Frankenstein of the night

We're asking you as a person
Is it a crime?
Is it a crime
For you to fall in love in with Frankenstein?
Is it wrong?
Could it be wrong?
Well baby, don't you want a friend?
Well, Frankenstein
Oh, Frankenstein

Frankenstein
Frankenstein
Frankenstein!
Frankenstein!
Frankenstein!
Frankenstein!
Well it's a Frankenstein!
Frankenstein!
Frankenstein!

You're gonna get it, you're gonna get it
You're gonna get it, from Frankenstein!
You're gonna get it, you're gonna get it
You're gonna get it

When Frankenstien get's home I'm gonna shout about it
I'm gonna scream about it
I'm gonna shout about it, bitch, I'm gonna scream about it
Shout about a Frankenstein
Frankenstein, Frankenstein, Frankenstein
Frankenstein, Frankenstein, Frankenstein
Frankenstein, Frankenstein, Frankenstein
Frankenstein!

I've gotta ask you one question
Do you think that
You could make it
With Frankenstein?
