25 Cents (The End is Near) lyrics

[Verse 1]
The end is near, the signs are clear
The alley cats have disappeared
They foresee the wrecking ball
Our sacred halls, they all will fall
All bid farewell to this noble booth
Take my headphones off and raise my glass to

[Chorus]
Hot spur, massacre, double pleasure
Twenty-five cents, twenty-five cents
My cup of coffee at the Howard Johnson's
Twenty-five cents, twenty-five cents
The peep show lovelies at the pus*ycat Palace
Twenty-five cents, twenty-five cents

[Verse 2]
They're coming here to cleanse our souls
With dynamite blasts leaving deep, deep holes
Say goodbye to your dealer, your pimps and freaks
There's real folks now coming through our streets
Say goodbye to:

[Chorus]
A world of fun, shocking violence
Twenty-five cents, twenty-five cents
Put a quarter in the slot and your dreams come true
Twenty-five cents, twenty-five cents
Live, live, live triple X
The boy on the corner with his Marilyn dress
The warmth in the subway is getting colder
This junk dog's heart beats a little slower
[Verse 3]
Now they're telling me which songs to play
It's time for me to just fade away

[Chorus]
Hot spur, massacre, double pleasure
Twenty-five cents, twenty-five cents
My cup of coffee at the Howard Johnson's
Twenty-five cents, twenty-five cents
The hot spur, massacre, double pleasure
Twenty-five cents, twenty-five cents
My cup of coffee at the Howard Johnson's
Twenty-five cents, twenty-five cents
The peep show lovelies at the pus*ycat Palace
Twenty-five cents, twenty-five cents
Live, live, live triple X
Twenty-five cents, twenty-five cents (Twenty-five cents)

[Outro]
Ah
Twenty-five cents, twenty-five cents
Put a quarter in the slot and your dreams come true
