Backstreet Loner Lyrics - Singles - U. D. O.

I lit another cigarette 

She did a little pirouette 

No friend of mine - a dollar's fine 

A cruel world - when you cross this line 

The masquerade is over 

The mask - it fades away 

Like a backstreet loner 

No need to be afraid 

In johnny nofinger's bar 

I travelled so far 

I've been to all those places 

Just a shot on the bar 

A cheap cigar 

And all the dead-eyed faces 

Hold down the fever 

Don't you cross the line 

Hold down the fever 

Stop yourself in time 

Never step on the ride 

Just take my advice 

I've suffered all the seasons 

Feel it coming again 

I paid the price 

There's no rhyme - no reason 

Hold down the fever, ... 

When masquerades are over 

The show will fade away 

You'll be a backstreet loner 

You better be afraid 

Hold down the fever, ...
