Heard of a van that is loaded with weapons Packed up and ready to go Heard of some gravesites out by the highway A place where nobody knows The sound of gunfire off in the distance I'm getting used to it now Lived in a brownstone, lived in the ghetto I've lived all over this town This ain't no party, this ain't no disco This ain't no fooling around No time for dancing, or lovey-dovey I ain't got time for that now Transmit the message to the receiver Hope for an answer some day I got three passports, a couple of visas Don't even know my real name High on a hillside, the trucks are loading Everything's ready to roll Sleep in the daytime, I work in the nighttime I might not ever get home This ain't no party, this ain't no disco This ain't no fooling around This ain't no Mudd Club, or C.B.G.B. I ain't got time for that now Heard about Houston? Heard about Detroit? Heard about Pittsburgh, P. A.? You gotta know not to stand by the window Somebody'll see you up there I got some groceries, some peanut butter To last a couple of days But I ain't got no speakers, ain't got no headphones Ain't got no records to play Why stay in college? Why go to night school? Gonna be different this time Can't write a letter, can't send no postcard I can't write nothin' at all This ain't no party, this ain't no disco This ain't no fooling around I'd love you hold you, I'd love to kiss you I ain't got no time for that now Trouble in transit, go through the roadblock We blended in with the crowd We got computers, we're tapping phone lines We know that that ain't allowed We dress like students, we dress like housewives Or in a suit and a tie I changed my hairstyle so many times now Don't even know what I look like You make me shiver, I feel so tender We make a pretty good team Don't get exhausted, I'll do some driving You ought to get you some sleep Burned all my notebooks, what good are notebooks? They will not help me survive My chest is aching, burns like a furnace The burning keeps me alive
