Bilingual
Sold in a motel, engraved in the dark
The Hilfiger needle stabbed me twice in the back
Ooh, good night
A shadow crawls across my face
Blurring my vision in the usual way
Ooh, good night
Sold motel on the boulevard
Something for nothing in the inner mind
Ooh, get up
Beach blanket bourgeois sunning themselves
Miles of logic and nonsense
Ooh, get up
Send out the messenger, pick up the word
Wild Tchapoutoulas, have you heard?
Send out the messenger, pick up the word
Wild Tchapoutoulas, have you heard?
Make it a journey from here to there
Send back the mail from the ionosphere
Ooh, shut up
Mark down the laws that we broke tonight
The judge wants you back in court to fight
Ooh, shut up
Send out the messenger, pick up the word
Wild Tchapoutoulas, have you heard?
Send out the messenger, pick up the word
Wild Tchapoutoulas, have you heard?
Send out the messenger, pick up the word
Wild Tchapoutoulas, have you heard?
Send out the messenger, pick up the word
General Custer, have you heard?
I hear you calling
I hear you calling
I hear you calling
I hear you call
ย
Down that way, they see death every day
In one form or another
Ooh, give up
They're no different there than here
They're just learned to handle the fear
Ooh, give up
Send out the messenger, pick up the word
Wild Tchapoutoulas, have you heard?
Send out the messenger, pick up the word
Wild Tchapoutoulas, have you heard?
Send out the messenger, pick up the word
Wild Tchapoutoulas, have you heard?
Send out the messenger, pick up the word
General Custer, have you heard?
