I'll start your day with a shock
See one of these days 'bout 12 o'clock
The world will turn into a little rock
And it's going to fall down with the sound of a knock
See I'm one of these guys who's nice to know
`Cause I know a place to go
It's just down the generation gap
I'll take you there in a red hot cab
And if you want
I mean you really, really want
I'll show you my hometown
And it's down
Yeah, you can tell by the smell
So close you can hear them yell
(They throw the best damn parties at the rim of hell)
Oh lord, let me live to tell
(They throw the best damn parties at the rim of hell)
And meet your host lift your glass for a toast..
Don't be afraid of the colors he wear
Look around, all your friends are here
Now don't say you've had enough
Stay a while, stay tough
Grab his horns like you just don't care
We'll eat his fire and drink what's there, yeah
'Cause if you want (I'll take you down down, down)
I mean you really, really want (I'll show you my home town)
Lets stay until the end, the very end
And to be saved by the bell
So close we almost fell
(They throw the best damn parties at the rim of hell)
Yeah, you can tell by the smell
(They throw the best damn parties at the rim of hell)
To the edge and back and to the edge again
Too hot for the D.J. and too hot for his friends
C'mon party
(They throw the best damn parties at the rim of hell)
Yeah
(They throw the best damn parties at the rim of hell)
Oh lord, let me live to tell
(They throw the best damn parties at the rim of hell)
Please, I can't stand the smell
(They throw the best damn parties at the rim of hell)
