Wonderful World Of Lyrics

Late night city casual wear

In a bar like this it's a sure thing

For a not so innocent man

She clings onto him

The booze was all right

She was a nom de plume

She was easy she got him right to the point

She was a heaven-sent omen

And a time well spent

A kiss on lips like fire

Drowning in endless desire

No time to waste in a parking lot

In the backseat of a strange car

Lightning blitz too good to be true

A time for no thought

And a time for lust in a strange car

Until the break of dawn

When he woke up

She was off and gone

She left a message in red

With her lipstick ink

And he would read it in shock

And begin to think

What a sick sense of humor

For an innocent thing

Welcome to the wonderful world of AIDS

He forgot all that jazz

And led a normal life

When he got sicker than sick

Than the usual norm

No pills could change the fact

Of the strange attacks

All these immeasurable pains

Until he fell on his back

Went to a doctor it wouldn't hurt anything

One test led to another

In sterile place of healers

Little Jesus Christs

With their miracle machinery

And biochemistry

It was a easy

Maybe a shot in the arm

Just a tiny operation

Not a life-and-death matter

He was out of his head

When the white suit spoke

He said: Your running out of time

And your life is short

He saw the lipstick in red

On the glass of a door

(bad ass guitar lead)

Welcome to the wonderful world of AIDS

Black tarred feathered

Stigmata to boot

He was a straight shooting cowboy

But that point is a mute

When you're a drummer boy rocking

The political scene

Or the "Reaganomic School"

With their religious cuisine

The band played on

With their never-ending song

And their homophobic mission

To believe it's a sin

To be honest and true

As a pandemic and ensues

They'd rather look the other way

And follow the fools

Blood transfusions

Pumping money and greed

There's no more time to check it

It's the color of green

And it's spreading taking innocent lives

No time to waste

We've got to stop this procreating

Abstinence and get those

Little Jesus Christs

With their miracle machinery

And biochemistry

So here's a message in red

With their blood-stained ink

When you stop all your denial

And start to think

It's just my sick sense of humor

With a cynical wink!

Welcome to the wonderful world of AIDS
