Can t Kill The Boogieman (My Secret Life 2004)

Текст песни Eric Burdon - Can t Kill The Boogieman (My Secret Life 2004)

Crazy lazy days back in the UK
At school we wore a gang sweatshirt
Guess what it say?
My political stance was to get people to dance
Still stand by it today and this is what it say
John Lee Hooker for President
Yeah baby, hey, alright

When I was 25 and so full of life
John Lee took me by the hand
The GTO we did go
To the fiery heart of the ghetto land
Living in a land where a man ain't no man
Till he's been to hell and back
One thing you gotta understand
Can't kill the boogie man, yeah
Can't kill the boogie man
Can't kill the boogie man

They're placing bets on you, John, don't listen
I tell everybody, as long as you're around
The blues will always be living
Can't kill the boogie man
Can't kill the boogie man
Can't kill the boogie man, no

Lord, it's every second hand
A buzz around the room
The power of a serpent in his finger
Relax and leave and let your mind drift away
You gotta be saved, boogie the night away, lord

Can't kill the boogie man
Can't kill the boogie man
Can't kill the boogie man
Can't kill the boogie man
Can't kill the boogie man
Yeah, you know what they talkin' about, John

Your birthday, I get to play
I tell everybody as long as you're around
The blues will be living
That's what's coming down

You can't kill the boogie man
Can't kill the boogie man
You can't kill the boogie man
Can't kill the boogie man
Can't kill the boogie man
Can't kill the boogie man
Can't kill the boogie man
Can't kill the boogie man

So I go down the road, that's my tale
Nobody knows me, but they all know John
Heaving hand, one thing you gotta understand
You can't kill the boogie man

Boogie, boogie
All night long, all night long
All night long, all night too
And this is what the boogie can do for you
You can't kill the boogie man
Can't kill the boogie man
Can't kill the boogie man
