Let's Go Out 2nite - Alabama 3

I had a call the other night,

it was hot, it was october,

the weather wasn’t right,

everybody was uptight.

my friend called at night

and he said:

«hey, there’s an emergency here at home,

you got to come away from whatever

you’re doing and get back here.»

i said «ooh… what’s the matter dear?»

he said «we got bug infestation!

we got a whole nation of bugs

crawling all over the house.»

i said «well, what kind of louse?»

he said «every kind of louse that you can describe.

i mean, man, the vibe is just wild.

they’re crawling around the walls,

they’re having their own parties.

they’re taking out my apple sauce from the fridge,

they don’t know what they did,

they’re just crazy bugs.»

i said «man look, get your head on straight…

it’s an indian summer,

those little bugs parents

what got laid back in july,

their eggs is just hatchin',

now that is why

we got bug infestations at home.

just you leave those little suckers alone

and everything’ll be alright.»

but my friend said that he didn’t feel right

and that i had to get straight back home.

but i said «look man, a similar thing happened to me

way back in july…»

«i was in belfast

i can’t remember why,

and i met these two beautiful people

and we went out on the downs

and we took a photograph together

and when i got back their image

seemed to have diminished

when i looked at the photograph,

and my friend said:

«why, that’s strange.»

and i said «hmm… i wonder why?»

then i got a phone call…

those two people had just died.

so oj the grand scheme of things,

it don’t mean a thing

if you got bug infestation in the house.

now, hush your little head and don’t you cry.

those little bugs are gonna leave in the by and by,

and when they get up to heaven

they’ll still have eight legs only…

there won’t be any bodies left.

she checks his che guevara style

some old school revival behind that smile

his blood shot eyes tell another story

commendments and 12 step plan,

arrangements, programmes

a tell tale sign and a doctor’s warning

she says «hey babe, are you feeling alright?

why don’t we stay in tonight?

get a chinese takeaway,

watch a black and white movie.»

he says «hey honey i feel alright

if you just put on that red dress tonight

take me out one more time

blazing like glory.»

let’s go out

let’s go out

let’s go out 2nite

blazing like glory.

the needle done the damage back in 88

big big disease such a little name

took eazy e from nwa

no one to blame

and we can’t complain

the sun’s still gonna set

and the moon’s gonna shine

c’mon baby hit me one more time

and take me out tonight

blazing like glory.

yeah

let’s go out

we got married in a fever

i got a feelin'

i got a feelin' right now

we’re from the sputh of the bridge,

where the guns and the violence

and the cannabis live

we’re from the sputh of the bridge,

so you better step up and level kick
