I got a one track mind
My blinders up
Now all I gotta do is get up, go out, and get her
Got the first step down
Uh-know what I want
All seven senses tryin' to deliver

Now baby, let me fill you up inside (Up inside)
Spread your wings and (Open wide) open wide
So hot! So hot! So hot!

I'm a man on a mission
Straight ahead, less talk, more action
With no distractions
I'm all conditioned, thoroughbred
Go for the action, with no distractions yeah

You give every inch
Flesh, blood and bone
And it's all wrapped up in a tight little bundle
Got an open mind, do anything
I been aware the ball might roll or tumble

So, right down to the bottom of the top (Ooo-ooh)
I'm gonna do it all in one big pot (Big pot)

Only thing that's on my mind
Ah, she sure got my attention
Once you taste the real kind

song list next song previous song Van Halen: Fair Warning Mean Street
(...)
At night I walk this stinkin' street
Past the crazies on my block
And I see the same old faces
And I hear that same old talk
And I'm searching for the latest thing
A break in this routine
I'm talkin' some new kicks
Ones like you ain't never seen

This is home
This is Meanstreet
It's our home
The only one I know

And we don't worry 'bout tomorrow
Cause we're sick of these four walls
Now what'd ya think is nothing
Might be something after all
Now you know this ain't no through street
The end is dead ahead
The poor folks play for keeps down here
They're the living dead

Come on down
Down to Meanstreet
They're dancing now
Out on Meanstreet

 It's always here and now, my friend
It ain't once upon a time
It's all over but the shouting
I'll come and I'll take what's mine
We're searching for the latest thing
A break in this routine
Talkin' some new kicks
Ones like you ain't never seen

This is home
This is Meanstreet
It's our home
Only one I know

(This is home) See, a gun is real easy
(This is Meanstreet) In this desperate part of town
(This is home) Turns you from hunted into hunter
(This is Meanstreet) Go and hunt somebody down
(This is home) But hear me now, somebody said "Fair Warning, Lord !"
(This is Meanstreet) Lord, strike that poor boy down

(...)
Forgive me father
For I have sinned
I've been through hell and back again
Shook hands with the devil
Looked him in the eye
Looked like a long lost friend
Anything you want
Any dirty deeds
He's got everything
Except what I really need
Keepin' me temporarily satisfied
But not one thing I tried
Filled me up inside
Or felt like mine
Mine, all mine
Yeah, the search goes on
The more I look
My world keeps getting smaller
Staring at the sun
Searchin' for the light
Almost ended up blinded
Some only see
What they want to see
Claiming victory
Oh, but that's not me
Give me truth
Give me something real
I just want to feel
Like it's
Mine, all mine
Oh really mine, all mine
Come on give me something
Something that's mine, all mine, all mine
Mine, all mine
All the words on the wall
Look the same in the mirror
Every riddle
Every clue
You got Allah in the east
You got Jesus in the west
Christ, what's a man to do?
They'll find a cure for anything
Just kill the pain
Numb my brain
We see a man
Speaking the word of God
Provin' to be a fraud
His own church applauds
Stop lookin' out
Start lookin' in
Be your own best friend
Stand up and say
Hey!  This is mine
All mine, all mine, all mine
Baby, you got something
And I got something
And it's mine, all mine, all mine
Mine, all mine
Mine, all mine
Yes, I'm searching
Mine, all mine
Got to have it
Mine, all mine
Mine, all mine
