Your temperature's too hot for taming

Empire Burlesque

if every bone in his body was broken he would never admit it

Hard Rain

Wiggle 'til you're high, wiggle 'til you're higher,;
Wiggle 'til you vomit fire

Good as I Been to You

I've been walking through the middle of nowhere;
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door

Still capture the minutes I'm in.

Gonna sleep down in the parlor;
