Steel Claw - Tina Turner

A night in television wonderland

Just one more

Fairytale about some rich bitch

Lying by the swimming pool

Its golden school

Livings easy when you make the rules

Last friday was the first time

It took only about half a minute

On the stairway

It was childs play

The odds turn out even

When you give up believing in the

Cold law steel claw

Try to get on board you find the lock is on the door

Well I say no way

Dont try to keep me out or therell be hell to pay

I dont know whos right or whos wrong

But it doesnt really matter when youre lying in the gutter

Its a see saw

A long hot battle with the cold law

Is what you get for messing with the steel claw

The politicians have forgotten this place

Except for a flying visit in a black mercedes

No election time

They cross the line

And everybody runs to watch the pantomine

If they could see whats going on around here

So many people hanging on the edge

Crying out for revolution

Retribution

The odds turn out even

When you give up believing in the

Repeat chorus

Sometimes I think Im going crazy

Sometimes I do a line

Makes me laugh

Makes me want to take a joyride

On the high tide

Sometimes Im contemplating suicide

Meanwhile eddys on the west coast

Hes making out with some sweet senorita

Up in frisco you and I know

The odds turn out even

When you give up believing

Repeat chorus
