"Freaks On This Side / 18 & Over" LIVE
Philadelphia
April 21st, 1998
lyrics:
Freaks on this side, the freaks on this side
When you can't find the reason for the smoke
There's probably water in the fire
When everything you know ain't enough to float your boat
And you're lookin' for somethin' that'll take you higher
You got to get down (Freaks on this side, the freaks on this side)
To a brand new sound (Freaks on this side, the freaks on this side)
In the water you'll drown (Freaks on this side, the freaks on this side)
But the lost is found (Freaks on this side, the freaks on this side)
Come on, baby
When confusion tries to tear your world apart
And the demons fight for power
That's the time you got to listen to your heart
No one knows the final hour
You got to get down (Freaks on this side, the freaks on this side)
To a brand new sound (Freaks on this side, the freaks on this side)
In the water you'll drown (Freaks on this side, the freaks on this side)
But the lost is found (Freaks on this side, the freaks on this side)
When you see an illusion everywhere you look
When you know the process of creation
When you understand everything in every book
Congratulations - you're in the New Power Generation!
Freaks on this side, the freaks on this side
Freaks on this side, the freaks on this side
Freaks on this side, the freaks on this side
Freaks on this side, the freaks on this side
The freaks on this side
The freaks on this side
The freaks on this side
When everybody calls the truth by a different name
And the indifference between us still remains
God is Love, Love is God - simple and plain
Party in this way, there's so much more to gain
Freaks on this side, the freaks on this side
Freaks on this side
We drownin' (Get on down, down, down, down, down)
Yeah, yeah
You got to get down
You got to get down
It's New Power Generation
And you're groovin' to another jam of the year
Think it ain't when it is
And we be drownin'
Glug, glug like a mug
Looka here - freak on this side
The freaks on this side
Looka here - on this side
On this side
The freaks on, Â you got it on this side
Eighteen and over
Eighteen and over, I wants to bone ya (Yeah, baby)
Eighteen and over (Oh yeah, this is gonna be good)
Eighteen and over, I wants to bone ya (Yeah, baby)
Eighteen and over (Oh yeah, this is gonna be good)
Now wait a minute
This ain't nothin' but a little funky mac song
All I'm sayin' is that I wanna smack it all night long
On and on until the early morn'
Givin' up all you need so you can get your groove on
And as long as I got your attention (Yeah)
There's a couple of new positions that I'd like to mention
Did you ever hear the one about the pinwheel? (No)
That's the one where I put your legs behind your head
And real dirty like, I'ma spin you around
And grab you by the waist and pump you 'til I hear my baby say
"Oww!"
That's what I know you like
I'm your nigga now about to read your rights
And as sure as I'm a nasty boy (What?)
My girl, you know you got the right to make plenty noise (Oh!)
Cuz this is your night and I'm gonna do you real good
Just like a Kimosabi, Bone Ranger should
Come
Eighteen and over, I wants to bone ya
Eighteen and over (Oh yeah, this is gonna be good)
Come
Eighteen and over, I wants to bone ya
Eighteen and over (Oh yeah, this is gonna be good)
And [arrive]
That's what we layin' for in the nine five
As long we know it's safe, we ain't riskin' no lives (Yeah)
My Doctor's name is Feelgood, makin' it so I do
And if your name is "Healthy" then it's cool with me and you
Just come - Yeah baby, you should do all that
Come - Yeah baby
Eighteen and over, I wants to bone ya
Eighteen and over
Hi yo Silver, it's the Bone Ranger, I'll freak you to the marrow
With a little somethin' that I call the wheelbarrow
Walkin' up on your hands while I straddle your thighs
In goes the truth and out goes the lie
And before the beach gets to sandy (Uh oh)
We'll call a wet towel, W.C. is Handy
And it's all nice, comin' one, comin' twice
And if the Johnny's sick, we'll have to take the trip to Electricity
And check out the sights (Check out the sights)
And check out the sights
When I blow that mind, baby (All night, alright)
I'm gonna drive you crazy (All night, alright)
Eighteen and over, I wants to bone ya
Eighteen and over
Electricity
Plug it in if you dare, plug it in if you dare
This motherfucker's so fast, it eats underwear
So there, my little sweet sugar bear
If that ain't enough to make you throw your hands in the air
Then I'm all gone like the horns in this song
Cuz I gots to keep you comin' 'til the early morn'
And if you like that, then you can come back
And if you don't smack and I'm out
Eighteen and over, I wants to bone ya
When I blow that mind, baby (All night, alright)
I'm gonna drive you crazy (All night, alright)
Eighteen and over, I wants to bone ya
Eighteen and over (Oh yeah, this is gonna be good)
Eighteen and over, I wants to bone ya
Eighteen and over (Oh yeah, this is gonna be good)
