A night in television wonderland. Another fairytale about some ritch bitch. Lying by the swimming pool. It's the golden school. Living's easy when you make the rules. Last friday was the first time. It only took about a half a minute. On the stairway. It was child's play. The odds turn to even. When you gie up believing in the. [chorus]. Cold law steel claw. Try to get on board. You find the lock is on the door. Well i say 'no way... '. Don't try to keep me out or there'll be hell to pay. I don't know who's right or who's wrong. But it doesn't really matter when you're lying in the gutter. It's a see saw. A long hot battle with the cold law. Is what you get for messing with the steel claw. The politicians have forgotten this place. Except for a flying visit in a black mercedes. No election time. They cross the line. And everybody runs to watch the pantomime. If they could see what's going here around there. So many people hanging on the edge. Crying out gor revolution. Retribution. The odds turn out even. When you give up believing in the. [chorus]. Sometimes i think i'm going crazy. Sometimes i do a line. Makes me laugh. Makes me want to take a joyride. On the high tide. Sometimes i'm contemplating suicide. Meanwhile eddy's on the west coast. I heard he's shacking up with some sweet senorita. Up in frisco you and i know. The odds turn out even. When you give up believing in the. [chorus]
