Drop dead beauties Stompin' up a storm Lines of Hell on our face Bruised bad apples Crawling through the night Busted loose runaway Always always Thrill without a motive 30 days just a haze (Chorus) Everybody wants a piece of the action Everybody wants a piece of the pie We're on a holiday hooligan's holiday I'm on a holiday hooligan's I gotta get away Hooligan's holiday We're on a holiday, hooligan's Cross-eyed derelict comin' An iron horse between our legs Tattoos and black manes flowin' Every day's a holidaze (Chorus) Modern times and new blood's pumpin' Only the strong survive (Chorus)
