"Hot Spot" lyrics - PHIL MANZANERA

PHIL MANZANERA
"Hot Spot"
(Manzanera-B. MacCormack-I. MacCormack)

I just drove in to town today
To sample the flesh pots
And all the girls I talk to say
"We need help at the hot spot"
I said "Well I think I got the help you seek"
Been deep-fishing all through the week
And I've never been no radio freak
So you can teach me the latest dancing, darling
Come on, let's go where the night sky breaks
We've got the noise at a 1000 watts
Where the bass vibrations make the building shake
And everybody's dancing, dancing at the hot spot
It's a wildfire sensation
You just got to know
The neon radiation
Makes your body glow

My pickup told me I'm a lazy dog
Coz I dig to go cruising
And I was riding high on a hog
Until I saw what she was using
I said hey
Baby what do you need a needle for
She said, it used to be illegal
And now it's the law
We are shooting atropine
To make damn sure
Everyday since they started up a the third world war
Let's go where the night sky breaks
With your flame and your bear-skin rugs
Where the mounting vibes make the building quake
And everybody's burning, burning at the hot spot
It's a hellfire creation
Nobody wants to know
The neutron radiation
Makes your body glow

I said man,
I read about this in a magazine
But I'm not prepared
I can't stand what I'm seeing
There's no fun on the disco scene
And there's no future in America's dream
Oh no, don't go where the night sky breaks
Where the white sun rises at midnight
And there's a heatwave coming makes the building shake
And everybody's dying, dying at the hot spot
It's a wildfire sensation
You don't need to know
The neon radiation
Makes your body glow.
