Lets go out tonight

I had a call the other night,
it was hot, it was october,
the weather wasn't right,
everybody was uptight.
my friend called at night
and he said:
"hey, there's an emergency here at home,
you got to come away from whatever
you're doing and get back here."
i said "ooh... what's the matter dear?"
he said "we got bug infestation!
we got a whole nation of bugs
crawling all over the house."
i said "well, what kind of louse?"
he said "every kind of louse that you can describe.
i mean, man, the vibe is just wild.
they're crawling around the walls,
they're having their own parties.
they're taking out my apple sauce from the fridge,
they don't know what they did,
they're just crazy bugs."
i said "man look, get your head on straight...
it's an indian summer,those little bugs parents
what got laid back in july,
their eggs is just hatchin',
now that is why
we got bug infestations at home.
just you leave those little suckers alone
and everything'll be alright."
but my friend said that he didn't feel right
and that i had to get straight back home.
but i said "look man, a similar thing happened to me
way back in july..."

"i was in belfast
i can't remember why,
and i met these two beautiful people
and we went out on the downs
and we took a photograph together
and when i got back their image
seemed to have diminished
when i looked at the photograph,
and my friend said:
"why, that's strange."
and i said "hmm... i wonder why?"
then i got a phone call...
those two people had just died.
so oj the grand scheme of things,
it don't mean a thing
if you got bug infestation in the house.
now, hush your little head and don't you cry.
those little bugs are gonna leave in the by and by,
and when they get up to heaven
they'll still have eight legs only...
there won't be any bodies left.

she checks his che guevara style
some old school revival behind that smile
his blood shot eyes tell another story
commendments and 12 step plan,
arrangements, programmes
a tell tale sign and a doctor's warning
she says "hey babe, are you feeling alright?
why don't we stay in tonight?
get a chinese takeaway,
watch a black and white movie."
he says "hey honey i feel alright
if you just put on that red dress tonight
take me out one more time
blazing like glory."

let's go out
let's go out
let's go out 2nite
blazing like glory.

the needle done the damage back in 88
big big disease such a little name
took eazy e from nwa
no one to blame
and we can't complain
the sun's still gonna set
and the moon's gonna shine
c'mon baby hit me one more time
and take me out tonight
blazing like glory. yeah

let's go out

we got married in a fever

i got a feelin'
i got a feelin' right now

we're from the sputh of the bridge,
where the guns and the violence
and the cannabis live
we're from the sputh of the bridge,
so you better step up and level kick
