Vigilantes of Love
Tokyo Rose (Live at Cornerstone 1995)
[Verse 1]
Well, am I defecting?
Well, I don't know
I fell under the spell
Yeah, of Tokyo Rose
All those hot nights in the jungle
With the rockets’ red glare
And alll of those bombs
They're bursting everywhere
[Chorus]
Come and check out my condition
I'm in love with your transmission
I waited up for you every night
I hear your voice, and my jungle’s bright
[Verse 2]
I once bought a magic marker
The kind with permanent ink
I wrote down all my bad thoughts
I got them all, I think
In every bathroom stall
On every vacant wall
Highly classified information
Yeah, I exposed it all
[Chorus]
Come and check out my condition
I'm in love with your transmission
I waited up for you every night
I hear your voice, and my jungle's bright
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
When my discharge papers came in
I did what I should
I got in my car
Headed for Hollywood
And those celluloid bodies
They throw off all restraint
Yeah, her breathing's faint
All those sad complaints
[Chorus]
Come and check out my condition
I'm in love with your transmission
I waited up for you every night
I hear your voice, and my jungle's bright
[Verse 4]
Well now, everybody wants
To be unopposed
We leave the straight and narrow
For the lowest of roads
I guess we need someone
To lie to us, I suppose
That's why everybody needs
Yeah, a Tokyo Rose
[Chorus]
Come and check out my condition
Honey, I'm in love with your transmission
I waited up for you every night
I hear your voice, and my jungle’s bright
[Outro]
Jungle’s bright
Jungle's bright
Jungle’s bright
[Spoken Outro]
Thanks. We'll keep that one
