New York Dolls - Frankenstein lyrics
rate meSomethin' must have happened over Manhattan
Who can expound all the children this time?
Did they ever, could they ever
Expect such a Frankenstein, a Frankenstein?
I remember when you were jam, jam, jammin'
You worked at 'em and any of them
There was never nothin' you would ever understand
But you know who was there to be your master
Making his demands and plans
As though he's making his friends
And when those plans they don't mix your style
You get a feeling of your own ordeal
That's when he starts calling you, wow
And you just don't know what to do
So now you come around here
And you're trying to take over the town
Just because of back home, baby
Oh, he puts you down
Oh, baby, how he puts you down
I know they put you down
So now, you're off starting 'round here
Here you ask and your demands
In a place where they don't expect nothing
You're trying not to dirty your hands
We're asking you as a person
Is it a crime? Is it a crime?
For you to fall in love with Frankenstein
Is it wrong? Could it be wrong?
Wrong, baby, don't you want a friend
'Cause you're trying to be so selective
You never realize the whole time
Who's the one you're loving
Misunderstood like a Frankenstein
And down, down, down, just go, just down
Like Frankenstein, like a Frankenstein
So now you're tellin' me
What everytime you can get down home
Well, don't you know there's place, it is my home
So where am I gonna go?
You know when you don't expect nothin'
Know you're not alone, you know you're not alone
'Cause something must have happened over them higher
Who can expound all the children this time?
Did they ever, could they ever
Expect such a Frankenstein, Frankenstein, Frankenstein
And all this shoes are too big
And house jacket's too small
How don't you know Frankenstein, a Frankenstein
We're asking you as a person
Is it a crime? Is it a crime?
For you to fall in love in with Frankenstein
Is it wrong, could it be wrong
Wrong baby, don't you want a friend
Well, Frankenstein, oh, Frankenstein, Frankenstein
Frankenstein, Frankenstein, Frankenstein
Frankenstein, Frankenstein, Frankenstein, Frankenstein
You're gonna get it, you're gonna get it
You're gonna get it, from Frankenstein
That's what I'm gonna shout about
You're gonna get it, you're gonna get it
You're gonna get it, from Frankenstein
That's what I'm gonna shout about
I'm gonna scream about, I'm gonna shout about, scream about
Scream about, shout about a Frankenstein
Frankenstein, Frankenstein, Frankenstein, Frankenstein
Frankenstein, Frankenstein, Frankenstein, Frankenstein
Frankenstein, Frankenstein
I've gotta ask you one question
Do you think that you could make it with Frankenstein?
