lyrics

SWINGIN' FROM THE RAFTERS

JT : Ah Ha! Having too much fun!
Donna Bach : Ohhhh, There she's goes…
JT : I could do this all day.
DB : You do do this all day.

Look at all these people
Look at all these faces
Nothing much on my mind
I'm another creep with another pretty fool
Lookin' for a super special fine time

Dress me up and take me for a ride out on the town
(Wah! Ricky!)

Wear your big shoes - leave your bad news home
We're going the way of the wayward clowns

SWINGIN' FROM THE RAFTERS
RUBBERIZED IN FLIGHT
ANYTHING YOU'RE AFTER
IS YOURS WITH OUT A FIGHT

WITHOUT A FIGHT MY FRIENDS

Technicolor motion swirlin' in an ocean
A childhood of memories
Caught up in the middle
Figure out the riddle
A tiger singing Japanese?
(Jap, Japanese)

Dress me up and take me out to dance on the wire
(Watch your step)
Wear your top hat - lose the rift raff now
We're crusin' like a cannon ball on fire

SWINGIN' FROM THE RAFTERS
RUBBERIZED IN FLIGHT
ANYTHING YOU'RE AFTER IS YOURS WITH OUT A FIGHT
SWINGIN' FROM THE RAFTERS
CRYSTALLIZED IN FLIGHT...

DB : This is it you know. I'm falling….
JT : It's coming around again - what's that?

(solo)
DB : Is anyone patrolling the area? FIRE!

SWINGIN' FROM THE RAFTERS
RUBBERIZED IN FLIGHT
ANYTHING YOU'RE AFTER IS YOURS WITH OUT A FIGHT
SWINGIN' FROM THE RAFTERS
RUBBERIZED IN FLIGHT
ANYTHING YOU'RE AFTER IS YOURS WITH OUT A FIGHT

JT : 'Cause fightings out of style now.
DB : Good thing isn't it?
JT : Woo! Have a little love. Have a little wine.
DB : Oh yeah!
JT : There's nothing much on my mind!
DB : Place is burning up. What are you looking at? What are you looking at?
JT : Look at all these people. Good God, look at all these faces.
DB : Look at all these people.
JT : Swinging from the rafters.
DB : Walking through disasters.
JT : All the different races.
DB : All the different places.
JT : Look at all these people.
DB : Look at all these people.
JT : Just wanna have a good time.
DB : Just wanna have a WHAT!?
