25 Cents (The End is Near)
View ArtistLyrics
[Verse 1] The end is near, the signs are clear The alley cats have disappeared They foresee the wrecking ball Our sacred halls, they all will fall All bid farewell to this noble booth Take my headphones off and raise my glass to [Chorus] Hot spur, massacre, double pleasure Twenty-five cents, twenty-five cents My cup of coffee at the Howard Johnson's Twenty-five cents, twenty-five cents The peep show lovelies at the Pussycat Palace Twenty-five cents, twenty-five cents [Verse 2] They're coming here to cleanse our souls With dynamite blasts leaving deep, deep holes Say goodbye to your dealer, your pimps and freaks There's real folks now coming through our streets Say goodbye to: [Chorus] A world of fun, shocking violence Twenty-five cents, twenty-five cents Put a quarter in the slot and your dreams come true Twenty-five cents, twenty-five cents Live, live, live triple X The boy on the corner with his Marilyn dress The warmth in the subway is getting colder This junk dog's heart beats a little slower [Verse 3] Now they're telling me which songs to play It's time for me to just fade away [Chorus] Hot spur, massacre, double pleasure Twenty-five cents, twenty-five cents My cup of coffee at the Howard Johnson's Twenty-five cents, twenty-five cents The hot spur, massacre, double pleasure Twenty-five cents, twenty-five cents My cup of coffee at the Howard Johnson's Twenty-five cents, twenty-five cents The peep show lovelies at the Pussycat Palace Twenty-five cents, twenty-five cents Live, live, live triple X Twenty-five cents, twenty-five cents (Twenty-five cents) [Outro] Ah Twenty-five cents, twenty-five cents Put a quarter in the slot and your dreams come true
