Checking out Songtext

von Herman Brood

Spoken: Edit Piaf, Beethoven, Sid Vicious, Elvis, Marvin Gaye, Hitler, Jimmy Hendrix...
Hey Joe, where you gonna go
The gun in your hand?
Goin? downtown gonna shoot my little girl down
I caught her messi?n ?round with the wrong man

Check in early with my Rock & Roll band
Out in the backstreet lookin? for the man
I'm gettin? high like evry other time
How many more times can I walk that line?

Showtime comes
You're not around
Send someone up
To get you down
You're all alone
When you lock the door
You gonna end up on the bathroomfloor

Prepare, say farewell
Checkin? out in your last hotel
Couldn't get his finger on the roomservicebell
Checkin? out in your last hotel

You're all alone when you lock the door
You gonna end up on the floor, child

Showtime comes
You're not around
Send someone up
To get you on down, down

Checkin? early
Rock & Roll band
Out in the backstreet
Lookin? for the man
I'm gettin? high
Like any other time
How many more times
Can I walk that line

Prepare, say farewell
Checkin? out in your last hotel
I couldn't find the bell, mama
Checkin? out in your last hotel...
