Motley Crue The Dirt Album Lyrics

The Dirt (Est. 1981)

(Motley Crue)

(feat. Machine Gun Kelly)

The sex, the cash, the fame
Living out a life you can't deny
The drugs, the lies, the pain
Will never get enough to satisfy

They never found a way to break us down
That's why we're still around

Gimme the dirt, just gimme the dirt
Just gimme what I want 'til it hurts
Just gimme the dirt, gimme the dirt
Let's take it to the top and watch it burn

The fight, the hate, the game
Not afraid to stab you from behind
The years, the months, the days
Never gave a f*ck about the time

They never found a way to break us down
That's why we're still around

Gimme the dirt, just gimme the dirt
Just gimme what I want 'til it hurts
Just gimme the dirt, gimme the dirt
Let's take it to the top and watch it burn, burn, burn

More sex, more tats, more blood, more pain
More threats, more theft, torn jeans, cocaine
Midnight ride down the Sunset Strip
New bike with the plate, read the 666

Give me more sex, more tats, more blood, more pain
More threats, more theft, torn jeans, cocaine
More pretty strippers with the big red lips
Making big tips, showing off their nice big tits, ha

Gimme the dirt, just gimme the dirt
Just gimme what I want 'til it hurts
Gimme the dirt, just gimme the dirt
Just gimme what I want 'til it hurts
Just gimme the dirt, gimme the dirt
Let's take it to the top and watch it burn

Give me more sex, more tats, more blood, more pain
More threats, more theft, torn jeans, cocaine
More pretty strippers with the big red lips
Making big tips, showing off their nice big tits, ha

Red Hot

(Motley Crue)

Fight for the black shark
See what evil brings
Can't you see we're out for blood?
Love from a shotgun
License to kill
Can't you see we're out for blood?

The kids scream in fright through the night
Loving every bite with delight
And we blow out our minds with your truth
And together we stand for the youth

Red Hot, red hot
To the top, we are
Red hot, shout at the devil
We've laughed at your wars
Can't you see we're out for blood?
Run with the pack, now
Always ask for more
Can't you see we're out for blood?

The kids scream in fright through the night
Loving every bite with delight
And we blow out our minds with your truth
And together we stand for the youth

Red Hot, red hot
To the top, we are
Red hot, shout at the devil
We've laughed at your wars
Can't you see we're out for blood?
Run with the pack, now
Always ask for more
Can't you see we're out for blood?

Red Hot, red hot
To the top, we are
Red hot, shout at the devil
We've laughed at your wars
Can't you see we're out for blood?
Run with the pack, now
Always ask for more
Can't you see we're out for blood?

On With The Show

(Motley Crue)

Frankie died just the other night
Some say it was suicide
But we know
How the story goes

With his six string knife and his street wise pride
The boy was a man before his time
And she knew all their dreams would come true

But you see, Frankie was fast, he was too fast to know
He wouldn't go slow until his lethal dose
And she knows he'll finally come too close

Well, on with the show, going on with the show
Come on, baby, no, no, no
Oh my, my, my, my, my, oh my
Well, on with the show, going on with the show
Come on, baby, no, no, no
Oh my, my, my, my, my, oh my

He was bad, he was never good
But one thing that he understood
And she knew all those lies would come true

The time has come and he's paid his dues
Suzy finally got the news
She always knew this day would come soon

Well, on with the show, going on with the show
Come on, baby, no, no, no
Oh my, my, my, my, my, oh my
Well, on with the show, going on with the show
Come on, baby, no, no, no
Oh my, my, my, my, my, oh my

He was stopped on a dime with a switchblade knife
Some damn punk went and took Frankie's life
And she knew she'd have to pull through

Broken down, with his broken dreams
With a wink of an eye said, "Suzy, listen to me
You must go on with the show"

Well, on with the show, going on with the show
Come on, baby, no, no, no
Oh my, my, my, my, my, oh my
Well, on with the show, going on with the show
Come on, baby, no, no, no
Ooh my, my, my, my, my, oh my

Go on with the show, going on with the show
Come on, baby, no, no, no
Ooh my, my, my, my, my, oh my
Ooh baby

Live Wire

(Motley Crue)

Plug me in
I'm alive tonight
Out on the streets again
Turn me on
I'm hot to stop
Something you'll never forget
Take my fist
Break down walls
I'm on the top tonight

No no
You better turn me loose
You better set me free
'Cause I'm hot young running free
A little bit better than I use to be

'Cause I'm alive
Live wire
'Cause I'm alive
I'm a live wire
'Cause I'm alive
Live wire
'Cause I'm alive
I'm a live wire

I'll either break her face
Or take down her legs
Get my ways at will
Go for the throat
Never let loose
Goin' in for the kill
Take my fist
Break down walls
I'm on top tonight

No no
You better turn me loose
You better set me free
'Cause I'm hot young running free
A little bit better than I use to be

'Cause I'm alive
Live wire

'Cause I'm alive
Live wire
'Cause I'm alive

Well be mine tonight

'Cause I'm alive
Live wire

Merry-Go-Round

(Motley Crue)

You know he's gotta get away
To the merry-go-round and round
Count the times that he laid awake at night thinkin'
Am I goin' down now
Am I goin' down
Am I goin' down now, oh!

It's not easy puttin' on a smile
You're alone, lost and found
She waits at home just to love him through the night thinkin'
He's been gone so long now
Is he comin' home?
He's been gone so long now, oh!

Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round

Take Me To The Top

(Motley Crue)

Don't you know, know, know
It's a violation
I still hear you saying
Such a perfect, perfect night
No, no, no fight all temptation
Well, in a black-hearted alley fight
I'm screaming
Take me to the heights tonight

Take me to the top
Take me to the top

Too many times
Victim accusation
No, you don't have to take it like that
A sheer, sheer heart attack
No, no, no, it's no realization
I never had a way with you
But I still hear you saying

Take me to the top
Take me to the top
Take me to the top
Take me to the top

Piece Of Your Action

(Motley Crue)

Yeah, ooh, hey, oh

I want you, I need you
I want you to be mine tonight
You need me, you tease me
Use you up, throw you away

You're fire, taking me higher
Don't burn me, don't let me down
You need me now, I'll teach you how
Come on, let's go all the way

Get a piece of your action
Get a piece of your action

Tight action, rear traction
So hot, you really blow me away
Fast moving, wet and ready
Time is right so hang on tight

Live wire, night prowler
Lay back and take me inside
You need me now, I'll teach you how
Come on, let's go all the way

Get a piece of your action
Get a piece of your action

Oh, I want you, I need you
I want you to be mine tonight
You need me, you bleed me
Use you up, throw you away

You're fire, taking me higher
Don't burn me, don't let me down
You need me now, I'll teach you how
Come on, let's go all the way

Get a piece of your action
Get a piece of your action
I get a piece of your action
Get a piece of your action

Look out

Shout At The Devil

(Motley Crue)

Shout, shout, shout
Shout, shout, shout
Shout at the devil

He's a wolf screaming lonely in the night
He's the bloodstain on the stage
He's the tear in your eye
Been tempted by his lie
He's the knife in your back, he's rage
Well he's the razor to the knife
Oh, lonely is our lives
My head's spinning 'round and 'round
But in the seasons of wither
You stand and deliver
Be strong and laugh and

Shout, shout, shout
Shout at the devil
Shout, shout, shout

He'll be the love in your eyes
He'll be the blood between your thighs
And then he'll have you cry for more
He'll put strength to the test
He'll put the thrill back in bed
I'm sure you've heard it all before
He'll be the risk in the kiss
Might be anger on your lips
Might run scared for the door
But in the seasons of wither
We'll stand and deliver
Be strong and laugh and

Shout, shout, shout
Shout at the devil
Shout, shout, shout
Shout at the devil

He's a wolf screaming lonely in the night
He's the bloodstain on the stage
He's the tear in your eyes
Been tempted by his lie
He's the knife in your back, he's rage
Well, he's the razor to the knife
Oh, lonely is our lives
My head's spinning 'round and 'round
But in the seasons of wither
We'll stand and deliver
Be strong and laugh and

Shout, shout, shout
Shout at the devil
Shout, shout, shout
Shout at the devil
Shout, shout, shout
Shout at the devil
Shout, shout, shout
Shout at the devil
Shout, shout, shout
Shout at the devil
Shout, shout, shout
Shout at the devil

Shout, shout, shout
Shout, shout, shout
Shout, shout, shout
Shout, shout, shout
Shout, shout, shout
Shout, shout

Looks That Kill

(Motley Crue)

Now listen up
She's razor sharp
If she don't get her way
She'll slice you apart
Now she's a cool, cool black
She moves like a cat
If you don't get her name
Well you might not make it back

She's got the looks that kill, that kill
She's got the looks that kill, that kill
She's got the look

(She's got looks that kill)
(She's got looks that kill)

Now she's bulletproof
She keeps her motor clean
Oh, and believe me, you
She's a number thirteen
The clock strikes midnight
She's lookin' louder and louder
She's gonna turn on her juice, boy
Well then she'll turn on her power

She's got the looks that kill, that kill
She's got the looks that kill, that kill
She's got the look

(She's got looks that kill)
(She's got looks that kill)

She's got looks that kill

Hey

Now listen up
She's razor sharp
If she don't get her way

Well she's a cool, cool black
Moves like a cat

Too Young To Fall In Love

(Motley Crue)

You say our love
Is like dynamite
Open your eyes
It's like fire and ice
Well, you're killing me
Your love's a guillotine
Why don't you just set me free?

(Too young to fall in love) I'm too young
(Too young to fall in love) I'm too young
(Too young to fall in love) too young to fall in love
But I'm too young
(Too young to fall in love) I'm too young
(Too young to fall in love) ooh, I'm too young
(Too young to fall in love) too young to fall in love

Run for the hills
We're both sinners and saints
Not a woman, but a whore
I can just taste the hate
Well, now I'm killing you
Watch your face turning blue
Not yet a man, just a punk in the street

(Too young to fall in love) I'm too young
(Too young to fall in love) I'm too young
(Too young to fall in love) to fall in love
Oh, I'm too young
(Too young to fall in love) much too young
(Too young to fall in love) I'm too young
(Too young to fall in love) too young to fall in love

You say our love
Is like dynamite
It's no surprise
you've got one-way eyes
Well, you're killing me
Your love's a guillotine
Not yet a man, just a punk in the street

(Too young to fall in love) Oh, I'm too young
(Too young to fall in love) I'm too young
(Too young to fall in love) to fall in love
Oh, I'm too young
(Too young to fall in love) much too young
(Too young to fall in love) I'm too young
(Too young to fall in love) too young to fall in love

Too young to fall in love
Too young to fall in love
Too young to fall in love

Too young to fall in love
Too young to fall in love
Too young to fall in love

Too young to fall in love
Too young to fall in love
Too young to fall in love

Too young to fall in love

Home Sweet Home

(Motley Crue)

You know I'm a dreamer
But my heart's of gold
I had to run away high
So I wouldn't come home low
Just when things went right
It doesn't mean they were always wrong
Just take this song and you'll never feel left all alone
Take me to your heart
Feel me in your bones
Just one more night
And I'm comin' off this long and winding road

I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Home sweet home

Tonight, tonight
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Home sweet home

You know that I've seen
Too many romantic dreams
Up in lights, fallin' off the silver screen

My heart's like an open book
For the whole world to read
Sometimes nothing keeps me together at the seams

I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Home sweet home
Tonight tonight
I'm on my way
Just set me free
Home sweet home
Home sweet home
Home sweet home
Home sweet home

Ooh, I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Home sweet home
Yeah
I'm on my way
Just set me free
Home sweet home

Girls, Girls, Girls

(Motley Crue)

Friday night and I need a fight
My motorcycle and a switchblade knife
Handful of grease in my hair feels right
But what I need to get me tight are those

Girls, girls, girls
Long legs and burgundy lips
Girls, girls, girls
Dancin' down on the Sunset Strip
Girls, girls, girls
Red lips, fingertips

Trick or treat, sweet to eat
On Halloween and New Year's Eve
Yankee girls you just can't be beat
But you're the best when you're off your feet

Girls, girls, girls
At the dollhouse in Ft. Lauderdale
Girls, Girls, Girls
Rocking in Atlanta at Tattletails
Girls, girls, girls
Raising hell at the Seventh Veil

Have you read the news
In the Soho Tribune?
Ya know she did me
Well then she broke my heart
I'm such a good good boy
I just need a new toy
I tell ya what, girl
Dance for me, I'll keep you over-employed
Just tell me a story
You know the one I mean

Crazy Horse, Paris, France
Forget the names, remember romance
I got the photos, a menage et trois
Musta broke those Frenchies laws with those

Girls, girls, girls
Body Shop and the Marble Arch
Girls, girls, girls
Tropicana's where I lost my heart

Girls, girls, girls
(Hey Tommy, check that out, man)
(What, Vince, where?)
(Hey right there, hey)
Hey baby, you wanna go somewhere? (girls, girls, girls)
Girls, girls, girls
Girls, girls, girls
Girls, girls, girls

Girls, girls, girls (whoa)

Same Ol' Situation (S.O.S.)

(Motley Crue)

Come on girls, ha ha ha I got something to say
She's got an alligator bag
Top hat to match
Dressed in black on black
She's got a Philipino girlie
She claims is her friend
I tell you boys you just gotta laugh
Now I used to call her Cindy
She changed her name to sin
I guess that's the name of her game
I really used to love her
Then the kitty she discovered
It's got to be a sexual thing

Now all around the world
Girls will be girls

It's the same ol', same ol' situation
It's the same ol', same ol' ball and chain

I say no, no, no
No, no, no

Introduced me to her lover
In a cellophane dress
Then they bid me a sweet farewell
Last time I saw them
They were kissing so softly
To the sound of wedding bells

Well, all around the world
Girls will be girls

It's the same ol', same ol' situation
It's the same ol', same ol' ball and chain
It's the same ol', same ol' situation
It's the same ol', same ol' ball and chain

Kickstart My Heart

(Motley Crue)

When I get high I get high on speed
Top fuel funny car's a drug for me
My heart, my heart

Whoa, yeah, baby, whoa, yeah
Kick start my heart, hope it never stops
Whoa, yeah, baby

When we started this band
All we needed, needed was a laugh
Years gone by, I'd say we've kicked some ass
When I'm enraged or hittin' the stage
Adrenaline rushing through my veins
And I'd say we're still kickin' ass

I say, ooh ah, kick start my heart
I hope it never stops
And to think, we did all of this to rock

Crash and Burn

(Motley Crue)

If you wanna kiss the ring
Just admit that we were kings
Looking out through the devil's eyes
We would just take everything
Shot off like a firework, every night was the 4th of July
Did it hard until it hurt
Thank God for alibis

I'm so alive, I don't know why
I had to crash and burn
I fell from the sky
I thought I had died the moment I hit dirt

Get down
Everybody get down in the dirt
Get down
Everybody get down in the dirt

Looking back, had it all to gain
With the power shooting through our veins
Wanna fight on a Friday night
Didn't care about the pain
Blackout every single time
Getting high at the scene of the crime
Blast off, it's a fire fight
Hit you right between the eyes

I'm so alive, I don't know why
I had to crash and burn
I fell from the sky
I thought I had died the moment I hit dirt

Get down
Everybody get down in the dirt
Get down
Everybody get down in the dirt

Hey, I'm going down the road
Trying to find a home
To find a love that won't rip my heart out
Remember what I say
I might be back some day
Don't be afraid, I might rip your heart out

I'm so alive, I don't know why
I had to crash and burn
I fell from the sky
I thought I had died the moment I hit dirt
I'm so alive, I don't know why
I had to crash and burn
I fell from the sky
I thought I had died the moment I hit dirt
I'm so alive, I don't know why
I had to crash and burn
I fell from the sky
I thought I had died the moment I hit dirt

Like a Virgin

(Motley Crue)

I made it through the wilderness
Somehow I made it through
Didn't know how lost I was until I found you
I was beat, incomplete, I'd been had
I was sad and blue, oh, your love thawed out
Yeah, your love thawed out what was scared and cold

Like a virgin
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
When your heart beats next to mine

Gonna give you all my love, girl
My fear is fading fast
Been saving it all up for you, 'cause only love can last
You're so fine and you're mine
Make me strong, yeah, you make me bold
Oh, your love thawed out
Yeah, your love thawed out what was scared and cold

Like a virgin (hey)
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
With your heartbeat next to mine

Woah, woah, woah, yeah

Like a virgin (hey)
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
With your heartbeat next to mine
