Dirty Livin' Lyrics
I can't get enough of what I need
People all around me lettin' me bleed
Waitin' for the darkness to blind the heat
I make my livin' out on the streets
Dirty livin', ahh, dirty livin'
I can't wait any longer to set myself free
Flashin' lights keep runnin' through my brain
Someone find the doctor to ease all the pain
Traffic in the city is burnin' me out
She makes me want to jump up and shout
Dirty livin', ahh, dirty livin'
I can't wait any longer to set myself free, ahh
I can't wait any longer to set myself free, ahh
No more, no more
I've gotta get away
Dirty livin', dirty livin'
Ahh, dirty livin'
Mainline outta China is due in tonight
Mother, sister, brother are lyin' uptight
I can hear the jukebox poundin' out loud
I take my fury out on the crowd
Dirty livin', ahh, dirty livin'
I can't wait any longer to set myself free, ahh
I can't wait any longer to set myself free, ahh
No more, no more
I've gotta get away
Dirty livin', dirty livin'
It's gettin' to me, it's gettin' to me
I can't wait, I can't wait
Dirty livin', dirty livin', yeah
Why don't you set me free
People all around me lettin' me bleed
Waitin' for the darkness to blind the heat
I make my livin' out on the streets
I can't wait any longer to set myself free
Someone find the doctor to ease all the pain
Traffic in the city is burnin' me out
She makes me want to jump up and shout
I can't wait any longer to set myself free, ahh
I can't wait any longer to set myself free, ahh
I've gotta get away
Ahh, dirty livin'
Mother, sister, brother are lyin' uptight
I can hear the jukebox poundin' out loud
I take my fury out on the crowd
I can't wait any longer to set myself free, ahh
I can't wait any longer to set myself free, ahh
I've gotta get away
Dirty livin', dirty livin'
It's gettin' to me, it's gettin' to me
I can't wait, I can't wait
Dirty livin', dirty livin', yeah
Why don't you set me free
This is a really cool song! I get so happy when I listen to it. Rock on, Peter!
It makes me wanna dance, even considering that I don't like dance. =D
The correct lyric is "Mainline outta China is due in tonight," not "Last night outta China is due in tonight," which also doesn't make any sense. It's a reference to the Kiss song "Mainline" sung by Peter Criss, similar to other Criss-sung song references throughout the song, like "Getaway" and "Waitin' for the darkness to blind the heat, I make my livin' out on the streets" allusion to "Black Diamond."
