Turner Tina - Steel Claw Lyrics

It's just a television wonderland
just one more fairytale about a rich bitch lyin' by the swimming pool
Life is so cool
Easy living when you make the rules
Last Friday was the first time, it only
took about half a minute on the stairway
It was child's play
The odds come out even
when you give up believing in the

[chorus:]
Cold law
Steel claw
Try to get on board you'll find the lock is on the door
and I say no way... no way...
don't try to get out, or there'll be hell to pay!
I don't know who's right, who's wrong
It really doesn't matter when you're lying in the gutter
it's a see-saw
A long hard battle with the cold law
is what you get for messing with the steel claw

The politicians have forgotten this place, except for
flying visits in a black Mercedes on election time
they cross the line
and everybody runs to miss the pantomime
If you could see what's going on around here,
so many people hanging on the edge
crying out for revolution, retrobution
The odds come out even
when you give up believeing in the

[chorus]

Sometimes I think I'm going crazy
Sometimes I do a line, makes me laugh,
makes me wanna take a joy ride
on the high tide
Sometimes I'm contemplating suicide
Meanwhile, Eddy's on the west coast
I hear he's making out with some sweet senorita up in Frisco
You and I know
The odds come out even
when you give up believing in the

[chorus
