Can't Kill The Boogieman
Crazy lazy days back in The UK Art school we wore a gang sweatshirt Guess what it said My political stance was to get people to dance And still stand by it today John Lee Hooker for president When I was 25 and so full of life John Lee took me by the hand In a GTO we did go into the fiery heart of a ghetto land Living in a land where a man is no man Until he's been to hell and back One thing you've got to understand You can't kill the boogieman They're placing bets on John but don't listen I tell everybody as long as you're around The blues will always be living Can't kill the boogieman Can't kill the boogieman Can't kill the boogieman No Lord his ever shaking hand a buzz around the room The power of a serpent in his finger Relax release and let your mind drift away SongtexteYou've got to be saved Boogie the night away Can't kill the boogieman You know what they're talking about John Your birthday I get to play I tell everybody as long as you're around The blues will be living that's what's coming down Can't kill the boogieman So I got down the road and that's my tale Nobody knows me but they all know John Healing hand one thing you've got to understand Can't kill the boogieman Boogie boogie all night long All night blues and this is what the boogie can do for you Can't kill the boogieman (Eric Burdon) Aus Songtexte Mania
