Hanging Upside Down lyrics

Window shoppin', finger poppin'
Hangin' in our favorite shopping mall
Looky, looky a little cutie
A little kitten she deserves a home

Tell you dudes when I get old enough
You bet that I am gonna try some stuff

Twisted sister, don't you miss her?
There's a hundred more where she came from
Wiggle wiggle, jiggle jiggle
Jesus, how the babes are almost grown

And I don't need to watch the news at night
Anyone can see we're out of time

Hangin' on, hangin' out
Got my hundred dollar shoes
Hangin' round, hangin' free
And we got nothin' else to do

What goes up must come down
Oh, she took an overdose
Hangin' out, hangin' free
Till our mama takes us home

Shimmy shimmy, gimmie gimmie
Don't need you and we don't need love
I gotta have it, I'm gonna grab it
It ain't stealing, hey, it's only fun

When you live inside the pleasure dome
You don't ever wanna go back home

Hangin' on, hangin' out
Some are hangin' upside down
A perfect world, a perfect girl
Oh another year rolls by

I'm the king and you're my queen
When those zombies all awake
A broken heart, a broken home
Ain't no tears upon your face

Hangin' on, hangin' out
There's place for me and you
Hangin' round, hangin' free
We got nothin' else to do

Turn it up, fade it down
Yeah, that song it saved my life
Perfect teeth a perfect smile
Oh, she was a friend of mine

Let's go out to the place
Where the hands of time are slowed
No one walks, no one dies
No more hassles anymore
