NO EXIT
There's no sin in this getting dressed to kill laughing down the sun like a jackal will with his eyes ablaze and his lips apart he's gonna fill his cup with the love in your heart and drink it up til the morning starts circulate the red light vistas get the girls and get their sisters pinch em up and give em blisters kiss em fierce with all his might forever
Bye bye to another life bye bye to another life bye bye to another life bye bye to another life
Standing on the verge of the edge of the ledge waiting for me to fall but then I got a call it said wait hold up homie you must be trippin you can't be putting that simpin and whimpin up in your pippin you better stand tall fool you was born to ball took a little fall and now you wanna end it all you've been chasing dreams like a hound dog on the hunt take your place in the front put your hand on the pump and it's right in your grasp man I know they're laughing but you'll be laughing later cuz time's are gonna get greater you's a player and when I say player I mean player cuz your daddy and your uncle was a player
Who's gonna cry for ya who's gonna cry over you who's gonna cry for ya who's gonna cry over you
Put yourself in your position you ain't wishin for no food and no warmth and no light so you must be doing all right
But wait a minute something's wrong it's lunatic it's mad insane busted like a water main indulgence in another vein
What they're saying round the neighborhood is what he's drinking's not aged in wood
He's filling out he's all growed up he's all blowed up he's gotten fat he's filling out he's all growed up he's all blowed up he's gotten fat
Sure enough at the midnight lounge there's a dent in the seat where the vampire sat
Bye bye to another life bye bye to another life
Living dead is doing time like drowning on the Circle Line
Who's gonna cry for ya who's gonna cry over you who's gonna cry for ya who's gonna cry over you who's gonna cry over you cry over you
Tell me would they lie for you die for you you're hoping that it's true for you do for you fool but who's gonna cry |
COMMENTS
quoted from the book 'Deborah Harry: Platinum Blonde - A Portrait By Cathay Che' - 1999
"How did the song 'No Exit' come together? - "That's a real combo effort - it was Jenuny and Chris and Romy and me. Jimmy wrote a couple of verses of a gangsta rap and I said Jimmy, I can't be a gangsta rapper! That would really be tasteless and unethical. So he says, OK, let's make it a Gothic rap about a vampire on the scene. That worked a lot better. Then we made it like, the monster ain't doing too well. He gets fat, he's gluttonous."

"The track is a fusion of Classical, Rock and Hip-Hop music, using an interpolation of Johann Sebastian Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor. It features rapper Coolio exchanging raps with Debbie Harry." |
