Double A-Side mixed in NYC by Mark Plati (Bowie, The Cure)
Maximum Rock & Roll with proto-punk occult soul leanings
lyrics
in leather & lace
as you come 'round my place
cover my eyes with veils
you're singing the praise
of the judge they will face
bleeding like your painted nails
the lipstick won't last
as you pour me a glass
fading like the dim streetlights
but, wherever you go?
you think that you know-
they're checkin' you out, it's alright
your parents act slick
so they keep you in sick
treat you like a ball & chain
just give 'em a toss
as you put on your gloss
melting in the autumn rain
take it in stride as they snicker behind,
fakers with their masks on tight
but whenever you go?
you think that you know-
they're checkin' you out, it's alright
JUDEX! JUDEX! JUDEX!
X, X, X !!!!
so they taketh, you gave
now it's balance we crave
your pumped fist gospel, spread
oh, your beauty defined
with your wounds so divine
immune to all the lies they've said
you know their culture can't last,
all the fiends fadin' fast
running when the verdict strikes
'cause wherever you go...?
them suckers all know-
The Judex has come, it's alright.
JUDEX! JUDEX! JUDEX!
X, X, X !!!
