The lights in the window is a crack in the sky
A stairway to darkness in the blink of an eye
And levee of tears to learn she'll never be coming back
The man in the dark will bring another attack
Your momma told you that
You're not supposed to talk to strangers
Look in the mirror, tell me
Do you think your life's in danger here?
No more tears
No more tears
No more tears
No more tears
Another day passes as the night closes in
The red light goes on to say, "It's time to begin"
I see the man around the corner, waiting
Can he see me?
I close my eyes and wait to hear
The sound of someone screaming here
No more tears
No more tears
No more tears
No more tears
{It's just a sign of the times
Going forward in reverse
Still he who laughs the last
Is just a hand in the bush}
So now that it's over, can't we just say goodbye?
I'd like to move on and make the most of the night
Maybe a kiss before I leave you this way
Your lips are so cold, I don't know what else to say
I never wanted it to end this way
My love, my darling
Believe me when I say to you in love
I think I'm falling here
No more tears
No more tears
No more tears
No more tears
{Is just a hand in the bush
In the, in the bush
In the, in the bush
In the, in the bush}
Oh yeah!
Some people say my love cannot be true
please believe me, my love, and I'll show you
I will give you those things you thought unreal
The sun, the moon, the stars all bear my seal
Oh yeah!
Follow me now and you will not regret
leaving the life you led before we met
You are the first to have this love of mine
forever with me 'till the end of time
Your love for me has just got to be real
before you know the way I'm going to feel
I'm going to feel
I'm going to feel
Oh yeah!
Now I have you with me, under my power
Our love grows stronger now with every hour
Look into my eyes, you will see who I am
my name is Lucifer, please take my hand
Oh yeah!
Follow me now and you will not regret
leaving the life you led before we met
You are the first to have this love of mine
forever with me 'till the end of time
Your love for me has just got to be real
before you know the way I'm going to feel
I'm going to feel
I'm going to feel
Oh yeah!
Now I have you with me, under my power
Our love grows stronger now with every hour
Look into my eyes, you will see who I am
instrumental
I watch it all change,
Take the news of the day
And throw it away
Time will kill all the pain,
Fate will cure the decay of all this blind ambition,
The greed brings us together
Stand strong,
Stay true,
Be brave,
It all comes down to you
Try to just let it go,
Know that justice moves slow,
But it comes in the end
Rise, the guilty will fall,
Stay, they can't take it all; they want the
unimportant,
It's love they leave behind
Stand up,
Aim true,
Keep heart,
The future looks to you
Every second you throw away,
Every minute of every day,
Don't get caught in a memory,
'Cause life won't wait for you,
No, life won't wait for you, my friend
I'm watching the change,
Who will carry the flame?
It all feels very strange
Dreams that men can be good,
Faith to live as we should and know we're all
connected,
We give ourselves the power
Stand strong,
Stay true,
Be brave,
It all comes down to you
Every day that you wait, you're falling faster,
No sleight of hand,
No twist of fate,
No ever after
When it's gone, it's gone,
A fight 'til the bitter end,
Life won't wait for you,
No, life won't wait for you, my friend
Life won't wait for you, my friend
Life won't wait for you, my friend
Life won't wait for you, my friend
No prayers left for heroes
The dead won't see the ending
War started by rich men
Won't stop the poor from dying
I'll grant you your death wish
It's not just time I'm killing
Blood's thicker than water
It's too late to surrender
This will be your last stand
I wash the blood from my hands
I am warrior, I'm fearless
No pain, no mercy, no weakness
I, I, I'm fearless
I answer no questions
You will obey my orders
I'll punish all sinners
This battle has no borders
No saving salvation
Your soul is stained and rusted
I follow no leader
My vigilante justice
I'd rather die on my feet
Than live a life on my knees
I am warrior, I'm fearless
No pain, no mercy, no weakness
I, I, I'm fearless
My skin and bones drip off of me
I'm more than man, more than machine
This will be your last stand
I wash the blood from my hands
I am warrior, I'm fearless
No pain, no mercy, no weakness
I, I
I am warrior, I'm fearless
No pain, no mercy, no weakness
Time after time
I guess that love is blind
I couldn't read your mind
Line after line
Line after line
It was written in your eyes
I guess it's no surprise
Time after time
I can hear them whispering
Shadows in the rain
Thinking how it might have been
Time after time
Line after line, you broke me
Day after day
I watched love fade away
I wanted love to stay
Day after day
The games we play
The foolish things we say
The pain won't go away
Day after day
Candlelight are shimmering
Shadows on the wall
Thinking how it might have been
Finished with my woman
Cause she couldn't help me with my mind
People think I'm insane
Because I am from another time
All day long I think of things
But nothing seems to satisify
Think I'll lose my mind
If I don't find something to pacify
Can you help me
Occupy my brain, oh yeah
I need someone to show me
The things in life that I can't find
I can't see the things that make
True happiness I must be blind
Make a joke and I will sigh
And you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I can not feel
And love to me is so unreal
And so as you hear these words
Telling you now of my state
I tell you to end your life
I wish I could but it's too late
Misty morning, clouds in the sky
Without warning, the wizard walks by
Casting his shadow, weaving his spell
Funny clothes, tinkling bell
Never talking
Just keeps walking
spreading his magic
Evil power disappears
Demons worry when the wizard is near
He turns tears into joy
Everyone's happy when the wizard walks by
Never talking
Just keeps walking
spreading his magic
Sun is shining, clouds have gone by
All the people give a happy sigh
He has passed by, giving his sign
Left all the people feeling so fine
Never talking
Just keeps walking
spreading his magic
Look In The Future
Look In To My Eyes And Tell Me
Everything's All Right
Tell Me Where We're Going
I'm So Afraid 'Cos I Don't Know
What's Going On With My Life
But It'll Be All Right Tonight
Will It Be All Right Tonight
Are We Doing All Right In Old L.A. Tonight?
Sitting By The Ocean
Mapping Out My Plans Of Action,
Baby They Include You
I Wish You'd Send A Message
Maybe I'm Just Better Off Not
Knowing Who Knew
But It'll Be All Right Tonight
I'm Gonna Be All Right Tonight
Are We Doing All Right In Old L.A. Tonight?
Those Summer Nights
When I Look In Your Eyes
I'm Falling To Pieces, Pieces
Out Of My Mind
And I'll Never Know Why
I'm Falling To Pieces, Pieces
Who Could Imagine Such A Thing
Could Happen To You?
It's Gonna Be All Right In Old L.A. Tonight
Those Summer Nights
When I Look In Your Eyes
I'm Falling To Pieces, Pieces
Out Of My Mind
And I'll Never Know Why
I'm Falling To Pieces, Pieces
It's Gonna Be All Right In Old L.A. Tonight
Like moths to a flame
Is man ever gonna change?
Time's seen untold aggression
And infliction of pain
If that's the only thing that's stopping war
Then thank God for the bomb
Thank God for the bomb
Thank God for the bomb
Thank God for the bomb
Nuke ya, nuke ya
War is just another game
Tailor made for the insane
But make a threat of their annihilation
And nobody wants to play
If that's the only thing that keeps the peace
Then thank God for the bomb
Thank God for the bomb
Thank God for the bomb
Thank God for the bomb
Nuke ya, nuke ya
Today was tommorow, yesterday
It's funny how time can slip away
The face of the doomsday clock
Has launched a thousand wars
As we near the final hour
Time is the only foe we have
When war is obsolete
I'll thank God for war's defeat
But any talk about hell freezing over
Is all said with tongue in cheek
Until the day the war drums beat no more
I'll thank God for the bomb
Thank God for the bomb
Thank God for the bomb
Thank God for the bomb
Nuke ya, nuke ya
Well she's a mean hard woman and she knows what she likes
She is my tattooed rock n roll dancer
I'm under her thumb and when she tells me jump
Oh hi is the only way I can answer
They're gonna put me away, put me away
God damn them
Well I can hear her moaning like a dog that's on heat
She never takes no for an answer
She's driving me mad, she makes it good to be bad
My little tattooed rock n roll dancer
They're gonna put me away, put me away
God damn them
They're gonna put me away, put me away
God soul's on fire
Tattooed dancer, dance for me bitch
I think I'm in grave danger, goin' over the top
There is no question only an answer, she can't give me love
I think I've fallen in lust with my tattooed rock n roll dancer
They're gonna put me away, put me away
God damn them
They're gonna put me away, put me away
God soul's on fire
They're gonna put me away
ALRIGHT NOW!!
Won't you listen?
When I first met you, didn't realize
I can't forget you, for your suprize
you introduced me, to my mind
And left me wanting, you and your kind
Oh yeah!
I love you, Oh you know it
My life was empty forever on a down
Until you took me, showed me around
My life is free now, my life is clear
I love you sweet leaf, though you can't hear
Oh yeah!
Come on now, try it out
Straight people don't know, what your about
They put you down and shut you out
you gave to me a new belief
and soon the world will love you sweet leaf
A psycho driver twisted in my head
Silence broken, but there's nothing said
I got a nightmare from a fantasy
Will the voices ever set me free
I can hear'em, I can hear'em
Someone wake me when it's over
I can see'em, I can see'em
I can see'em over and over again
I saw it happening like deja-vu
They tried to tell me, but they couldn't get through
In my head I hear the voices scream
I need someone to tell me what it means
Whoa - Who turned off the lights ?
Whoa - A shadow in the night
Whoa - It wasn't meant to be
I can't tak this alone
Don't leave me on my own tonight
Oh no I can't take it alone
Don't leave me on my own tonight
Shattered dreams lay next to broken glass
I wonder if tonight will be my last
I need an angel who can rescue me
To save me from my mental symphony
Whoa - Who turned off the lights ?
Whoa - A shadow in the night
Whoa - It wasn't meant to be
I can't tak this alone
Don't leave me on my own tonight
No, no I can't take it alone
Don't leave me on my own tonight
Now I'll find peace of mind
Finally found a way of thinking
Tried the rest, found the best
Stormy day won't find me sinking
I can't conceal it like I knew I did before
I got to tell you now, the ship is ready
Waiting on the shore
Dare to look, face the test
On the eve when you set sailing
What you've learned, what you've earned
Ship of joy will stop you failing
I can't conceal it like I knew I did before
I got to tell you now, the ship is ready
Waiting on the shore
Wind is high, so am I
As the shore sinks in the distance
Dreams unfold, seek the gold
Gold that's brighter than the sunlight
Sail away, see the day
Dawning on a new horizon
Gold's in sight, shining bright
Brighter than the sun that's rising
Three thousand sails on high are straining in the wind
A raging sea below
Is this voyage coming to an end?
On His Way To Dinner
When It Took Him By Surprise
And With One Pull Of The Trigger
He Would Vanish Overnight
Dancing By The Roadside
Holding On For Dear Life
Then A Gun From Out Of Nowhere
Made A Widow Of His Wife

Single File Down The Runway
Feelin' Fine

Who Can We Get On The Case?
We Need Perry Mason

Just Keep On Talking Baby
I've Been Doing This All Night
How Much Did You Give Me
Tell Me It'll Be All Right
Who Can We Get On The Case?
We Need Perry Mason
Someone To Put You In Place
Calling Perry Mason Again
Silver screen, such a disgrace
I couldn't look her straight in the face
A blue addiction I live in disgust
Degradation, being eaten by lust
No bone movies
Inspiration that's blue and uncut
Can't kick the habit, obsession of smut
Voyeur straining, in love with his hand
A poison passion, a pulsating gland
No bone movies
I shouldn't do it, the guilt tells me why
I just can't stop it, I try and I try
X-rated demon that lives in my head
Hungry for bodge, and he wants to be fed
Don't You Know I Love You More
Than Life Itself
Don't You Know That You're My Pride
And I Would Not Have You
Walking Through This World
Without Me By Your Side
Go To Sleep My Little Man
Don't You Weep My Little Man
I'd Like To Keep You With Me
All Your Life,
But I Know I Can't Do That
So I Must Try To Teach You
Wrong From Right,
To Keep The Vultures From
Your Back
Go To Sleep My Little Man
Don't You Weep My Little Man
And When You're Dreaming
You Can Talk To Angels
So Wipe The Tears From Your Eyes
And If There's Demons
That Try To Steal Your Breath Away
You Can't Believe That, Know,
My Spirit Will Be Standing By
Your Side
You Saved Me, You Gave Me
The Greatest Gift Of All
Believe Me, Believe
There Ain't No Mountain That's Too Tall
I Will Gladly Carry Your Cross
For You
To Take Your Pain Away
But What I Can't Carry Is My Love
For You,
Beyond My Dying Day
So Be Strong My Little Man
When I'm Gone My Little Man
You Got To Be My Little Man
So Don't You Weep My Little Man
Go To Sleep My Little Man
Don't You Weep My Little Man
You Got To Be My Little Man
So Don't You Weep My Little Man

I am iron man
Has he lost his mind
Can he see or is he blind or
Can he walk at all or if he moves will he fall
Is he alive or dead has he thoughts with in his head
Well just pass him there why should we even care
He was turned to steel in the great magnetic field
When he traveled time for the future of mankind
Nobody wants him he just stares at the world
Planning his vengeance that he will soon unfold
Now the time is here for iron man to spread fear
Vengeance from the grave kills the people he once saved
Nobody wants him they just turn there heads
Nobody helps him now he has his revenge
Heavy boots of lead fills his victims full of dread
{Yeah, its the world famous DJ Clue Desert Storm
Fabolous, the album 'Street Dreams', I mean we all street dream
The sometime or another you know, fast cars, cash, women, livin' the life
The introduction to his heartache began as a child
So it's no wonder that he grew up to be so wild
So he protected his feelings in walls he imagined
But castles crumble, exposing the frightened child
Fire in the sky
Can't you see that all my castles are burning?
Fire in the sky
Won't you help me now, my castles are burning
In solitude he couldn't deal with his own existence
The burning questions in the castles have still remained
God only knows how he searched in vain for the answers
Now castles crumble, exposing his naked flames, yeah
Fire in the sky
Can't you see that all my castles are burning?
Fire in the sky
Won't you help me now, my castles are burning
Fire in the sky
Can't you see that all my castles are burning?
Fire in the sky
Won't you help me now, my castles are burning
Fire in the sky
Can't you see that all my castles are burning?
Fire in the sky
Won't you help me now, my castles are burning
Fire in the sky
Can't you see that all my castles are burning?
Fire in the sky
Won't you help me now, my castles are burning
Goin' home, late last night
suddenly I got a fright
Yeah I looked throughout the window and surprised what I saw
Fairy boots were dancing' with a dwarf, all right now!
Fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me
yeah I saw it, I saw it, I tell you no lies
Yeah Fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me
I saw it, I saw it with my own two eyes, well all right now!
So I went to the doctor, see what he could give me
he said "Son, son, you've gone too far.
instrumental
Screaming at the window
Watch me die another day
Hopeless situation endless price I have to pay
Sanity now it's beyond me there's no choice
Diary of a madman
Walk the line again today
Entries of confusion
Dear diary I'm here to stay.
Manic depression befriends me
Hear his voice
Sanity now it's beyond me
There's no choice.
A sickened mind and spirit
The mirror tells me lies
Could I mistake myself for someone
Who lives behind my eyes
Will he escape my soul
Or will he live in me
Is he tryin' to get out or tryin' to enter me.
Voices in the darkness
Scream away my mental health
Can I ask a question
To help me save me from myself
Enemies fill up the pages
Are they me
Monday till sunday in stages
I feel unhappy
I feel so sad
I'v lost the best friend
That I ever had
She was my woman
I loved her so
But it's too late now
I've let her go
I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes
We shared the years
We shared each day
In love together
We found a way
But soon the world
Had its evil way
My heart was blinded
Love went astray
I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes
It took so long
To realize
That I can still hear
Her last goodbyes
Now all my days
Are filled with tears
Wish I could go back
And change these years
I'm going through changes

Crazy...babies...crazy babies never say die. born to
live on
A permanent high, flying high above the world below,
they'd
Better come down soon or everyone will know ? ? ?
Nobody's gonna change them, change them, they've gone
Over the top, nobody's gonna tame them, they're never
gonna stop.
Walk that walk, talk that talk, walk that walk, talk
that talk.
Crazy...babies...when they were born they were born to
Wild. some say I'm another devil's child. crazy babies
in a
World of thier own, I am a crazy babe you'd better
leave me
Alone tonight.
Nobody's gonna change me, change me, I'm gonna do this
'til
I die, nobody's gonna tame me, tame me, so you better
Try.
Walk that walk, talk that talk, walk that walk, talk
that talk.
Crazy...babies...no use talkin 'bout if they'll last,
where
They're goin' or about their past. they're just the
result of our
Society, so frustrated just like you and me.
Nobody's gonna change them change them, they've gone
over
The top. nobody's gonna tame them, tame them, they're
never
Gonna stop.
Walk that walk, talk that talk, walk that walk, talk
Bombs exploding, and tears are flowing, chasing rockets and gasping for air
You can call it justice or retribution, yet the reasons are never clear
Freedom is just man's invention and a soldier is just a slave
Self inflicted, so addicted, bad habits are hard to break
I'm alive
Watching better turn to worse
One more time
Try to civilize the universe
Without the righteous, without the faithful, we would never accept the obscene
A false confession, a priest's obsession gives the demon a light to be seen
Burn the witch and hang deserters, there's only one choice to be made
We're thought restricted, and herd afflicted, the truth is so hard to take
I'm alive
Watching better turn to worse
One more time
Try to civilize the universe
The righteous and the faithful
Give the deaf man to the blind
The world full of confusion
From a disease of the mind
I'm alive
Watching better turn to worse
One more time
Try to civilize the universe
I'm alive
Watching better turn to worse
One more time
Try to civilize the universe
What is this that stands before me?
Figure in black which points at me
Turn around quick, and start to run
Find out I'm the chosen one
Oh nooo!
Big black shape with eyes of fire
Telling people their desire
Satan's sitting there, he's smiling
Watches those flames get higher and higher
Oh no, no, please God help me!
Is it the end, my friend?
Satan's coming 'round the bend
people running 'cause they're scared
The people better go and beware!
I have fallen from grace, and my ashes are scattered
No longer of passion and flesh
My flame is alive, though my wings have been shattered
They lay my body to rest
My spirit is breathing, my senses are pure
Like reincarnation, my soul will endure
Back on earth
Back on earth
Back on earth
The spirit, it never lets go
Like fountains of sorrow, the faces are crying
I'm witnessing all of their pain
Death is so final, for only the living
The spirit will always remain
Bury me deep, just to cover my sins
My soul is redeemed, as the journey begins
Back on earth (you feel me)
Back on earth (reveal me)
Back on earth, the spirit it never lets go
Another dimension, a river of life
I'm twisting, I'm turning, my soul is in flight
Back on earth (you feel me)
Back on earth (reveal me)
Back on earth (still breathing)
Back on earth (reliving)
Back on earth (you feel me)
Back on earth (reveal me)
Back on earth (still breathing)

Pictures building in my head
Nothing done and nothing said
Talking to me with your eyes
What they say is no surprise
Things are so much different now
But nothing lasts forever
You, looking at me, looking at you
I wanna talk to you
You, looking at me, looking at you
Carry on from day to day
Even when we touch it seems miles away
I know you know I know too
Is it me or is it you?
Things are so much different now
But nothing lasts forever
I had a dream that we were through
I can't imagine nights without you, yeah
Looks and fixes can we repair
Talking good and we just stare
Waste of love is waste of life
Save our love from the final knife
Things would be so different then
Our love would last forever
I met a magic man
Who had a daughter
She learned her lessons well
But still I taught her
She followed willingly
As lambs to slaughter
We shared forbidden fruit
And things I brought her
You may say I'm a miracle man again
Here I come with my mystical plan again
I know you think I can
I'm just a man
I don't walk on water
(Oh no)
I don't walk on water
(Oh no)
I followed willingly
Her sweet temptation
She had me hypnotized
But still I'm waiting
My drowned and buried dreams? (My dromedary dreams?)
As wet as oceans
We set the bearing seas? (With sand dunes bearing seeds?)
She set emotion? (She set in motion?)
You may say I'm a cynical charlatan
There I go with my whimsical ways again
Although you think I can
I'm just a man
That I don't walk on water
(Oh no)
I don't walk on water
(Oh no)
I don't walk on water
(Oh no)
I don't walk on water
(Oh no)
(Here's two options for the bridge.
Not at all sure which one's right, his voice is all messed up) I-
The light is guiding eyes
As I look in on you
And the light is getting shorter
I suppose I'm you
II-
Kaleidoscopial eyes
As you look in the mirror
And the long is getting shorter
As the far is now nearer
Are you just a mirror
Standing in front of me
In my mind? (Am I blind?)
Can my eyes really see
I gave you all that you wanted
and still you come back for more
You say that you're brokenhearted
but then you walk out the door
Maybe it is time for us to say goodbye
Where are the tears you never cried?
Hey baby what you got on your mind
are you looking for some sympathy?
I can tell you if it's a truth or a lie
'Cos it's just like living,
living with the enemy
You got me going in circles,
I'm slowly loosing my head
What did I do to deserve this,
you make me wish I was dead
Tell me I'm wrong and I'll be on my way
See you around another day
Hey baby what you doin' tonite?
Are you giving me the perfect dream
I'm so tired and I don't wanna fight
'Cos it's just like living,
living with the enemy, enemy
Living with the enemy, living with the enemy, enemy
Living with the enemy,enemy
Living with the enemy, living with the enemy, enemy

I leave my son the legacy of dangers
The tragedy of synthesizing rhymes
The genocide that comes from total strangers
Apocalyptic dreams to kill mankind
I see the mystery unwind
My spirit's telling me
The sky is dying
And the whole world's falling down
Don't buy your fate
From media messiahs
God gave you breath
Don't blow it all away
I see the misery unwind
You must be stupid or be blind
My spirit's telling me that
The sky is crying
Burning holes into the ground
The sky is dying
And the whole world's falling down
What did you see or don't you know?
You only reap the seeds you sow
Oh no
The sky is crying
Burning holes into the ground
Messiah's coming
But will he hang around
Cause the sky is dying
And the whole world's falling down
When I look up to the sky
I see your eyes in a funny kind of yellow
I rush to bed I soak my head
I see your face underneath my pillow
I wake next morning tossed and yawning
I see your face come peeping through my window
Oh no
Pictures of matchstick men and you
Images of matchstick men and you
All I ever see is them and you
Windows echo your reflection
When I look in their direction
Gone, yeah they're gone
When will this haunting stop
Your face just won't leave me alone
Oh no
Pictures of matchstick men and you
Images of matchstick men and you
All I ever see is them and you
You're in the sky, you're with this guy
You make men cry, you lie
You're in the sky, you're with this guy
You make men cry, you lie
You're in the sky, you're with this guy
You make men cry, you lie
Pictures of matchstick men
Pictures of matchstick men
Pictures of matchstick men
Pictures of matchstick men
Pictures of matchstick men
Pictures of matchstick men
I can see those matchstick men
I can see those matchstick men
I can see those matchstick men
I can see those matchstick men
I can see those matchstick men
I can see those matchstick men
Get it up, keep it up,
As good as you can,
The change is good as the rest is,
To be or not to be when shit hits the fan,
This is the ultimate test
One up the b-side(x2)
Sing it out or shout it out,
The bent overture,
Let me hear it at my request,
You may think it's funny but I don't know why,
It gets it all off your chest
One up the b-side(x2)
(after solo)
One up the b-side(x2)
I gotta do it
Just another time or else I'll lose my mind,
The answer's simple and straight to the point,
You can see it coming from behind
One up the b-side(x3)
When I was young I was the nicest guy I knew
I thought I was the chosen one
But time went by and I found out a thing or two
My shine wore off as time wore on
I thought that I was living out the perfect life
But in the lonely hours when the truth begins to bite
I though about the times when I turned my back and stalled
I ain't no nice guy after all
When I was young I was the only game in town
I thought I had it down for sure
But time went by and I was lost in what I'd found
The reasons blurred the way unsure
I thought that I was living life the only way
But as I saw that life was more than day to day
I turned around, I read the writing on the wall
I ain't no nice guy after all,
I ain't no nice guy after all
In all the years you spent between your birth and death
You know there's lots of times when you should have saved your breath
It comes as quite a shock when your trip leads to a wall
I ain't no nice guy after all,
I ain't no nice guy after all
Hey Slasher?
When I was young I was the nicest guy I knew
I thought I was the chosen one
But time went by and I found out a thing or two
My shine wore off as time wore on
I thought that I was living out the perfect life
But in the lonely hours when the moons the only light
I thought about the times when I turned my back and
stalled
I ain't no nice guy after all,
I ain't no nice guy after all
Everybody knows all the highs and all the lows
And in that nothing ever goes right
It's not up to me if you look but you don't see
What could obviously be alright
Like goin' nowhere
Like goin' nowhere baby
Nowhere baby
Like goin' nowhere, like goin' nowhere
It's a vision, not religion
And the truth is plain to see
It's a feeling, it's revealing
Nowhere you can hide
So don't blame me
There's no guarantee, what you get is what you see
Don't try to find it, just don't try
Don't try living in the past if you want your dreams to last
Don't hide behind the mask of lies
Like goin' nowhere
Like goin' nowhere baby
Nowhere baby
Like goin' nowhere, like goin' nowhere
It's a vision, not religion
And the truth is plain to see
It's a feeling, it's revealing
So don't blame me
Don't blame me
Don't blame me
Don't blame me
Deep inside of me lives a hunger to be free
I know I'll have to pay the price
I may never know when it comes or when it goes
I guess it's just a part of life
Baby, I get so scared inside,
And I don't really understand,
Is it love that's on my mind,or is it fantasy
Heaven,
Is in the palm of my hand,
and it's waiting here for you,
What am I supposed to do with a childhood tragedy
(Chorus)
If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain unchanged
If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain the same...
Sometimes, it's hard to hold on
So hard to hold on to my dreams
It isn't always what is seems
When you're face to face with me
You're like a dagger
And stick me in the heart
And taste the blood from my blade
And when we sleep, would you shelter me
In your warm and darkened grave
(repeat chorus)
Will you ever take me
No, I just can't take the pain
But would you ever trust me
No, I'll never feel the same...
Ohh...
I know I've been so hard to you
I know I've told you lies
If I could have just one more wish
I'd wipe the cobwebs from my eyes
(back to chorus)
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
You gotta close you eyes for me
Listen my son
One thing I've learned
And I know it
Bombers can open bomb bays
Love all you can
This precious thing
Called your own life
Remember bombers can open bomb bays
Might you meet somebody
That has your mothers eyes and smile
Might you meet them
Don't blow them away
Don't hurt them
Just hold me
Make someone happy
The things you do
It's up to you
Try being happy
And I say I can believe it
And I do
I do believe there's hope for you
(Bridge)
You, there's hope for you (2x)
(Solo)
Listen my son
I'm in a war and I know it
Remember bombers can open bomb bays
Complimentary worship
May close your many open doors
Might you be cool
Don't get blown away
Don't hurt you
Just hold you
And make you happy
The things you do
It's up to you
Try being happy
And I say I can believe it
And I do
I do believe there's hope for you
It's in the lives that we lead
Setup for money and greed
A little isn't enough we have to use it all up
Success, excess, the truth is inconvenient
Oh hang your head
Pillaged and left us for dead
You kept us blind and mislead
How could you think nothing's wrong
You won't be smiling for long
When it's all gone, gone
We can never go back
Burn into the air and atmosphere
Watching the rain come down
Turn your head away ignore the fear
Watching the ice crash down
Our father's justice gets closer
How could you screw us all over
Rape, steal and murder
God bless the almighty dollar
The almighty dollar
Poison the air that we breathe
Chained to industrial need
Destroy the souls that you steal, the radiation is real
Debate, too late, you've built our funeral pyre
You kill my faith
Mother earth, desecrate
Deceive the whole human race
I know you think nothing's wrong
We won't be breathing for long
When it's all gone, gone
We can never go back
Burn into the air and atmosphere
Watching the rain come down
Turn your head away ignore the fear
Watching the ice crash down
Our father's justice gets closer
How could you fuck us all over
Rape, steal and murder
God bless the almighty dollar
Death, doom and disaster
The point of no return
No earthly life ever after
Is it too late to learn?
Burn into the air and atmosphere
Watching the rain come down
Turn your head away ignore the fear
Watching the ice crash down
Our father's justice gets closer
How could you fuck us all over
Rape, steal and murder
God bless the almighty dollar
Don't tell me I'm wrong
Don't tell me that you knew all along
I won't roll over dead
Only I know what goes on in my head
I've got nothing to hide
I'm not guilty inside
I won't give up
After all I'm still crazy
I'm not going away, I'm not going
Try so hard to break me but all your diamonds turn to sand
I'm not going away, I'm not going
Say goodbye forever, I'll wait for you in no man's land
Get out of my way
There's nothing you can do to change what I say
I won't ever let go
I got the answer but you'll never know
I got my eyes open wide
Ain't gonna slip up or slide
Can't take me down
After all I'm still crazy
I'm not going away, I'm not going
Try so hard to break me but all your diamonds turn to sand
I'm not going away, I'm not going
Say goodbye forever, I'll wait for you in no man's land
I'm not going away
I'm not going away
I'm not going away
I'm not going away
I'm not going away
I'm not going away
I'm not going away
I'm not going away
I'm not going away, I'm not going
Try so hard to break me but all your diamonds turn to sand
I'm not going away, I'm not going
Say goodbye forever, I'll wait for you in no man's land
I'm not going away
I'm not going away
I'm not going away, I'm not going
Thoughts about you just won?t let me sleep at night
Blinded by obsession and despair
All you are is just synthetic paradise
Steal my love from me without a prayer
The euphoria rushes through my veins
The eternal possession driving me insane
I must be dreaming
I?m running fast but getting nowhere
I see the light but I never get there
I hope I wake when the morning gets here
Your love is like a nightmare
Feed me lies and cover with a smile of grace
Promise me the truth and I'll be saved
Take away the pain and make my heart be brave
Comfort me forever, I?m your slave
I know there will be a price to pay
I'll feel the guilt tomorrow but I'm numb today
I'm dreaming
I?m running fast but getting nowhere
I see the light but I never get there
I hope I wake when the morning gets here
Your love is like a nightmare
I'm running fast but getting nowhere
I see the light but I never get there
I hope I wake when the morning gets here
Your love is like a nightmare
I?m running fast but getting nowhere
I see the light but I never get there
I hope I wake when the morning gets here
Your love is like a nightmare
Watching blood stained windows
He must just love the pain
See the children crying
His mother's died again
Dig her grave much deeper
The fatal price she paid
I hope I'm here to hold her
When she comes back again
I see the death and the disaster
There is no happy ever after
The time has come
Countdown's begun
Countdown's begun
Is the armageddon
Finally here at last?
You may see the mushroom
But you won't hear the blast
Don't need a self made prophet
Don't need a holy war
Don't need another leader
To even up the score
I'm cursed with living on a fault line
The doomsday clock was made by mankind
No place to run
Countdown's begun
Countdown's begun
Countdown's begun
I see the death and the disaster
There is no happy ever after
The time has come
Countdown's begun
Countdown's begun
Countdown's begun
Countdown's begun
Countdown's begun
The black rain is falling
Contaminating the ground
The human race is dying
The dead are scattered around
What is the price of a bullet?
Another hole in the head
A flag draped over a coffin
Another soldier is dead
How many victims have fallen?
How many more have to die?
People dying in masses
Angel of Death standing by
We've got our marching orders
Defenders of our home and our pride
We've crossed too many borders
Military suicide
War killing sons and daughters
Another failed attack, there is no turning back
Blood running down like water
You?ll think you got away until the Judgment Day comes
Politicians confuse me
I watch the body count rise
Why are the children all marching
Into the desert to die?
The human psyche is twisted
The madness rising again
Another empire falling
I watch them dying in vain
We've got our marching orders
Defenders of our home and our pride
We've crossed too many borders
Military suicide
War killing sons and daughters
Another failed attack, there is no turning back
Blood running down like water
You?ll think you got away until the Judgment Day comes
Black rain, black rain
Black rain, black rain
War killing sons and daughters
Another failed attack, there is no turning back
Blood running down like water
You?ll think you got away until the Judgment Day comes
Your words, they go right through me
They circle round my head, yeah
I can't believe I'm still here
I know I should be dead, yeah
This desperation makes me feel so filthy
But I know if I don't stop I won't feel guilty
Take me higher
Crank me faster
Help me get the thrill I'm after
One time to take away all pain
One more to turn myself insane
One shot to keep me high all day
Makes my reality fade away
There is no future waiting
There is no morning after
Can't stop obsessive craving
An itch I just can't scratch, yeah
This paranoia stops my mind from sleeping
I don't know if I'm awake or if I'm dreaming
Take me in
You won't deny me
Spit me out, all bright and shiny
One time to take away all pain
One more to turn myself insane
One shot to keep me high all day
Makes my reality fade away
One time to take away all pain
One more to turn myself insane
One shot to keep me high all day
As soon as your born they make you feel small,
By giving you no time instead of it all,
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all,
A working class hero is something to be,
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school,
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool,
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules,
A working class hero is something to be,
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years,
Then they expect you to pick a career,
When you can't really function you're so full of fear,
A working class hero is something to be,
Keep you doped with religion and sex and tv,
And you think you're so clever and you're classless and free,
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
There's room at the top they are telling you still,
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill,
If you want to be like the fool on the hill,
A working class hero is something to be.
A working class hero is something to be.
It's getting near dawn
When lights close their tired eyes
I'll soon be with you my love
To give you my dawn surprise
I'll be with you darling soon
I'll be with you when the stars start falling
I've been waiting so long
To be where I'm going
In the sunshine of your love
I'm with you my love,
The light's shining through on you
I'm with you my love
It's the morning and just we two
I'll be with you darling now
I'll be with you till my seas are dried up
I've been waiting so long
To be where I'm going
In the sunshine of your love
I'm with you my love,
The light's shining through on you
I'm with you my love
It's morning and just we two
I'll be with you darling now
I'll be with you till my seas are dried up... dried up
I've been waiting so long
I've been waiting so long
I've been waiting so long
To be where I'm going
Spent the last year
Rocky mountain way
Couldn't get much higher
Out to pasture
I think it's safe to say
Time to open fire
And we don't need the ladies
Crying 'cause the story's sad, oh yeah
'cause the rocky mountain way
Is better than the way we had
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Rocky mountain way, ooooh
Well he's tellin' us this,
He's tellin' us that,
Changin' it everyday
Say's it doesn't matter
Bases are loaded and casey's at bat
Playin' it play by play
It's time to change the batter
And we don't need the ladies
Crying 'cause the story's sad, so sad
'cause the rocky mountain way
Is better than the way we had
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Rocky mountain way
And we don't need the ladies
Crying 'cause the story's sad, so sad
'cause the rocky mountain way
Is better than the way we had
It's better than the way we had
It's better than the way we had
So much better
So much better
It's so much better
It's so much better
There are places I remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
We've already said goodbye
Since you gotta go, oh you better
Go now, go now, go now, go now
Go, before you see me cry
I don't want you to tell me just what you intend to do now
'cause how many times do I have to tell you darlin',
I'm still in love with you now
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
We've already said so-long
I don't wanna see you go, oh you better
Go now, go now, go now, go now
Don't you even try
Tellin' me that you don't want me to end up this way
'cause darlin', darlin', can't you see I want you to stay, stay
We've already said goodbye
Since you gotta go, oh you better
Go now, go now, go now, go now
Go, go!
I don't want you to tell me just what you intend to do now
'cause how many times do I have to tell you darling,
I'm still in love still in love with you now
I am the god of hell fire and I bring you...
Fire, I'll take you to burn.
Fire, I'll take you to learn.
I'll see you burn!
You fought hard and you saved and learned,
But all of it's gonna burn.
And your mind, your tiny mind,
You know you've really been so blind.
Now's your time burn your mind.
You're falling far too far behind.
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, you gonna burn!
Fire, to destroy all you've done.
Fire, to end all you've become.
I'll feel you burn!
You've been living like a little girl,
In the middle of your little world.
And your mind, your tiny mind,
You know you've really been so blind.
Now's your time burn your mind,
You're falling far too far behind.
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no,
Fire, I'll take you to burn.
Fire, I'll take you to learn.
You're going to burn!
You're going to burn!
You're going to burn!
You're going to burn! burn! burn! burn!
Fire, I'll take you to burn.
Fire, I'll take you to learn.
Fire, to end all you've become.
Fire, I'll watch you burn
Tried to be your father
Things just made it harder
Sorry if I made you cry
Years turned you against me
Heart was always aching
And I never thought you'd say goodbye
I could have been wrong
You know
I should have been strong
You know
That'll do .... ha ha ha
I'm not the kind of person you think I am
I'm not the Anti-Christ or the iron man
I have a vision that I just can't control
I feel I've lost my spirit and sold my soul
Got no control
I tried to entertain you the best I can
I wish I started walking before I ran
But I still I love the feeling I get from you
I hope you'll never stop cause
It gets me through...yeah
It gets me through...yeah
The feelings that I hide behind
Sometimes reality's unkind
The nightmare starts for me at night
I dread the long and lonely nights
I'm not the kind of person you think I am
I'm not the Anti-Christ or the iron man
But I still I love the feeling I get from you
I hope you'll never stop cause
It gets me through...yeah
I'm just tryin' to live...yeah (Repeat)
There are no unlockable doors, there are no unwindable wars
There are no unrightable wrongs or unsingable songs
There are no unbeatable odds, there are no believable Gods
There are no unnameable names, shall I say it again, yeah?
There are no impossible dreams, there are no invisible seams
Each night when the day is through
I don't ask much
I just want you
I just want you
There are no uncriminals crimes there are no unrhymable rhymes
There are no identical twins or forgivable sins
There are no incurable ills there are no unkillable thrills
One thing and you know it's true
I don't ask much
I just want you
I just want you
I just want you
I just want you
I'm sick and tired of begin' sick and tired
I used to go to bed so high and wired, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I think I'll buy myself some plastic water
I guess I should have married Lennon's daughter, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
There are no unachievable goals there are no unsaveable souls
No legitimate Kings or Queens do you know what I mean, yeah
There are no indisputable truths and there ain't no fountain of youth
Each night when the day is through
I don't ask much
I just want you
I just want you
I just want you
I just want you
I just want you
I just want you
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I just want you
I just want you
Hey, yeah
I just want you
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I just want you, hey
I just want you
I just want you
The light in the window is a crack in the sky
A stairway to darkness in the blink of an eye
A levee of tears to learn she'll never be coming back
The man in the dark will bring another attack
Your momma told you that you're not supposed to talk to strangers
Look in the mirror tell me do you think your life's in danger here
No more tears
Another day passes as the night closes in
The red light goes on to say it's time to begin
I see the man around the corner waiting, does he see me?
I close my eyes and wait to hear the sound of someone screaming here
No more tears
So now that it's over, can't we just say goodbye?
I'd like to move on and make the most of the night
Maybe a kiss before I leave you this way
Your lips are so cold I don't know what else to say
I never wanted it to end this way my love my darling
Believe me when I say to you in love I think I'm falling here
No more tears
Standing on the crossroads, world spinning round and round
Know which way I'm going, you can't bring me down
Don't you try and teach me no original sin
I don't need your pity for the shape I'm in
I don't wanna change the world
I don't want the world to change me
Tell me I'm a sinner I got news for you
I spoke to God this morning and he don't like you
You telling all the people the original sin
He says he knows you better than you'll ever know him
I don't wanna change the world
I don't want the world to change me
You know it ain't easy
You know it ain't fair
So don't try to please me
Because I really don't care
Don't tell me stories 'cause yesterday's glories
Have gone away, so far away
I've heard it said there's a light up ahead
Lord I hope and pray I'm here to stay
Tell me I'm a sinner I got news for you
I spoke to God this morning and he don't like you
Don't you try and teach me no original sin
I don't need your pity for the shape I'm in
I'm looking for a Miracle Man
That tells me no lies
I'm looking for a Miracle Man
Who's not in disguise
I don't know where he'll come from
And I don't know where he's been
But it's not our Jimmy Sinner
Because he's so obscene
Miracle Man got busted
Miracle Man got busted
Today I saw a Miracle Man
On TV cryin'
Such a hypocritical man
Born again, dying
He don't know where he's going
But we know just where he's been
'Twas our little Jimmy Sinner
That I saw on the screen
Miracle Man got busted
Miracle Man got busted
Miracle Man got busted
Miracle Man
A Devil with a crucifix
Brimstone and fire
He needs another carnal fix
To take him higher and higher
Now Jimmy, he got busted
With his pants down
Repent ye wretched sinner
Self righteous clown
Miracle Man got busted
Miracle Man got busted
Miracle Man got busted
Miracle Man got busted
Miracle Man got busted
Miracle Man got busted
Miracle Man got busted
Well, I know where you live
I know you live alone
I'll pay a visit in your darkest hour
I've got a treat in store
Won't be the same no more
And I will demonstrate my holy power (ha ha)
I see through
What it is inside you
I'll make you breakdown (breakdown)
Breakdown and cry
Devil's daughter
You don't want a holy war
Devil's daughter
You don't want a holy war
You know what I'm about
I'll cast the demons out
And I'll persist until the battle's won
I'll feel your creeping flesh
If you're to be possessed
Then I will desecrate what you've become
I see through
What it is inside you
I'll make you breakdown (breakdown)
Breakdown and cry
Devil's daughter
You don't want a holy war
Devil's daughter
You don't want a holy war
Devil's daughter
You don't want a holy war
Devil's daughter
The time has come at last
Your future days have past
No use in fighting battles you can't win
The final conflict's lost
You can't afford the cost
Don't try to expiate your father's sins
I see through
What it is inside you
I'll make you breakdown (breakdown)
Breakdown and cry
Breakdown (breakdown)
Breakdown and cry
[Instrumental]
Trapped in a lonely body, I'm losin' control
Can't show my emotions and I'm losing my soul
Could it be that I'm obsessed with feeding my disease
I couldn't make it know that hidden things that no one sees
Yeah loser, I'm a secret loser
Loser, I'm a secret loser
Fighting a losing battle pretending to win
Repenting to holy unknowns pretending to sin
All I do is hide the wounds where blood just won't congeal
Couldn't ever take my soul 'cause isn't there to steal
Yeah loser, I'm a secret loser
Loser, I'm a secret loser now
Though I'm the loser, there is no winner
There's nothing left to win
The hidden reasons now in deletion are lost in sin
So heed my warning, the time is dawning
I'll tell you here's the twist
The truth is lying below the surface I don't exist
Loser, I'm a secret loser
Loser, I'm a secret loser now
Seeing is not believing, it don't mean a thing
Although it appears to be that the loser is king
I can understand that what you see you think is real
But underneath the surface is a wound that cannot heal
Yeah loser, I'm a secret loser
Lose, I'm a secret loser
Lose, I'm a secret loser
Lose, I'm a secret loser
Lose, I'm a secret loser
If we're offensive and pose a threat
You fear what we represent is a mess
You've missed the message that says it all
And you'll never know why
Oh no, you'll never know why
We rock
It's just a feeling how we excite
You cannot rule everybody in sight
But you condemn, don't understand
And you'll never know why
Oh no, you'll never know why
We rock, rock, rock
We rock, rock, rock
We rock, rock, rock
You'll never know why
We rock
I leave you cold and in disgust
Don't try to tame me, you'll eat my dust
I know that you know not what you do
That's why you'll never know why
Oh no, you'll never know why
We rock, rock, rock
We rock, rock, rock
We rock, rock, rock
You'll never know why
We rock, rock, rock
We rock, rock, rock
We rock, rock, rock
You'll never know why
We rock
It is the voice of your laughter that echoes in vain
In the vessel of your sorrow and pain
It is the beat of a heart that you hear in your mind
Something's missing, but you cannot explain
You've searched your soul for feeling
Over and over now, over and over now
There is no use in dreaming
Over and over now, over and over now
It is the chain that you're dragging that was once your relief
That's like everything that's born to die
And the birth of a doubt that was once your belief
Is drowning in the tears that you cry
It all remains a mystery
Forever and ever now, ever and ever now
The things that were are history
Forever and ever now, ever and never now
It's never too late to cry
It's never too late for goodbyes
It's never too late to cry
You know you were born to die
Oh, God
If the Messiah is coming, will he be too late
To reconcile our tears with our hate?
And the memory of freedom that imprisons our heart
As we're greeted by the cold hand of fate
It's never too late to cry
It's never too late for goodbyes
It's never too late to cry
You know you were born to die
Screams break the silence
Waking from the dead of night
Vengeance is boiling
He's returned to kill the light
Then when he's found who he's looking for
Listen in awe and you'll hear him
Bark at the moon
Years spent in torment
Buried in a nameless grave
Now he has risen
Miracles would have to save
Those that the beast is looking for
Listen in awe and you'll hear him
Bark at the moon
They cursed and buried him
Along with shame
And thought his timeless soul had gone
In empty burning Hell-unholy one
But now he's returned to prove them wrong
Howling in shadows
Living in a lunar spell
He finds his heaven
Spewing from the mouth of hell
And when he finds who he's looking for
Misty morning, clouds in the sky
Without warning, the wizard walks by
Casting his shadow, weaving his spell
Funny clothes, tinkling bell
Never talking
Just keeps walking
spreading his magic
Evil power disappears
Demons worry when the wizard is near
He turns tears into joy
Everyone's happy when the wizard walks by
Never talking
Just keeps walking
spreading his magic
Sun is shining, clouds have gone by
All the people give a happy sigh
He has passed by, giving his sign
Left all the people feeling so fine
Never talking
Just keeps walking
What you get and what you see
Things that don't come easily
Feeling happy in my vein
Icicles within my brain
(cocaine)
Something blowing in my head
Winds of ice, it soon will spread
Death would freeze my very soul
Makes me happy, makes me cold
My eyes are blind but I can see
The snowflakes glisten on the tree
The sun no longer sets me free
I feel there's no place freezing me
Let the winter sun shine on
Let me feel the frost of dawn
Fill my dreams with flakes of snow
Soon I'll feel the chilling glow
Don't you think I know what I'm doing
Don't tell me that it's doing me wrong
You're the one that's really a loser
This is where I feel I belong
Crystal world with winter flowers
Turns my day to frozen hours
Lying snowblind in the sun
Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind
people think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time
All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy
Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify
Can you help me
Occupy my brain
Oh yeah
I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find
I can't see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind
Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I cannot feel and love to me is so unreal
And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state
Mr. Crowley, what went on in your head
(Oh) Mr. Crowley, did you talk to the dead
Your lifestyle to me seemed so tragic
With the thrill of it all
You fooled all those people with magic
(Yeah)You waited on Satan's call
Mr. Charming, did you think you were pure
Mr. Alarming, in nocturnal rapport
Uncovering things that were sacred, manifest on this earth
(Oh)Conceived in the eye of a secret
Yeah, they scattered the afterbirth
Solo
Mr. Crowley, won't you ride my white horse?
Mr. Crowley, it's symbolic of course
Approaching a time that is classic
I hear that maidens call
Approaching a time that is drastic
Standing with their backs to the wall
(Solo)
Was it polemically sent?
I wanna know what you meant
I wanna know
I wanna know what you meant, yeah!
Over the mountain take me across the sky
Something in my vision, something deep inside
Where did I wander, where d'ya think I wandered to
I've seen life's magic astral plane I travel through.
I heard them tell me that this land of dreams was now
I told them I had ridden shooting stars
And said I'd show them how.
Over and over always tried to get away
Living in a daydream only place I had to stay
Fever of a breakout burning in me miles wide
People around me talking to the walls inside
I heard them tell me that this land of dreams was now
I told them I had ridden shooting stars
and said I'd show them how.
Don't need no astrology it's inside of you and me
You don't need a ticket to ride with me - I'm free.
Over and under in between the ups and downs
My mind's carpet magic ride goes round and round.
Over the mountain kissing silver inlaid clouds
Watching my body disappear into the crowd.
Don't need no astrology it's inside of you and me
Wine is fine but whiskey's quicker
Suicide is slow with liquor
Take a bottle, drown your sorrows
Then it floods away tomorrows
Away tomorrows
Evil thoughts and evil doings
Cold, alone; you hang in ruins
Thought that you'd escape the reaper
You can't escape the master keeper
'Cause you feel life's unreal
And you're living a lie
Such a shame, who's to blame
And you're wondering why
Then you ask from your cask
Is there life after birth
What you sow can mean hell on this earth
Hell on this earth
Now you live inside that bottle
The reaper's travelling at full throttle
It's catching you but you don't see
The reaper's you and the reaper is me
Breaking laws, knocking doors
But there's no one at home
Made your bed, rest your head
But you lie there and moan
Where to hide, suicide is the only way out
Don't you know what it's really about
Wine is fine but whiskey's quicker
Suicide is slow with liquor
Take a bottle, drown your sorrows
Tried to be your father
Things just made it harder
Sorry if I made you cry
Years turned you against me
Heart was always aching
And I never thought you'd say goodbye
I could have been wrong
You know
I should have been strong
You know
That'll do .... ha ha ha
Well I got a funny feelin'
But I'm gonna stay cool
Something's tellin' me I'm gonna break all the rules,
Let me tell ya I'm not insecure,
But I got an empty felling that you've got the cure
(chorus)
You said it all, you've got to stay
Too proud to fall, no more to say
Well I'm feeling sober but I'm high on the throne,
Like a demon sick and sick and tired of being alone,
I've made a bed that is hard to lie in,
But if lovin' you is wrong,
I can't do nothing but sin
(repeat chorus)
Let them hang me
They would if they knew
Even half the things I've been doing with you
Walk me to the gallow and drop me to the floor
Watch me swingin' and I still want you more
(repeat chorus)
Pictures building in my head
Nothing done and nothing said
Talking to me with your eyes
What they say is no surprise
Things are so much different now
But nothing lasts forever
You, looking at me, looking at you
I wanna talk to you
You, looking at me, looking at you
Carry on from day to day
Even when we touch it seems miles away
I know you know I know too
Is it me or is it you?
Things are so much different now
But nothing lasts forever
I had a dream that we were through
I can't imagine nights without you, yeah
Looks and fixes can we repair
Talking good and we just stare
Waste of love is waste of life
Save our love from the final knife
Things would be so different then
Our love would last forever
How many times
Can they fill me with lies
And I listen again
Twisting the truth
And they're playin' around with my head, O.K.
The things they will do and the things they will say
But they don't really understand
Tears fill my eyes when I hear all the cries
For the reason today
And they don't really know even what they're talkin' about
And I can't image what empty heads can achieve
Leave me alone, don't want your promises no more
'Cos rock & roll is my religion and my law
Won't ever change, may think it's strange
You can't kill rock & roll, it's here to stay
Lookin' through eyes of time
Mirrors reflecting their stories untrue
Promises, promises
Telling me all of my glories overdue
How many times have I heard it before
And I'll probably hear it again
King of a thousand knights, pawn in a table light
Losing to you
And they don't really know even what they're talkin' about
And I can't image what empty heads can achieve
Leave me alone, don't want your promises no more
'Cos rock & roll is my religion and my law
Won't ever change, may think it's strange
You can't kill rock & roll, it's here to stay
Even the rhymes that they
Give me in times of confession ain't true
Outcome is obvious
All for them, none for us
Meaning you too
The things they will do and the things they will say
When they don't really understand
Fear of rejection, I need their protection
I'm making a stand
'Cos they don't really know even what they're talkin' about
And I can't image what empty heads can achieve
Leave me alone, don't want your promises no more
'Cos rock & roll is my religion and my law
Won't ever change, may think it's strange
You can't kill rock & roll, it's here to stay
Leave me alone, don't want your promises no more
'Cos rock & roll is my religion and my law
Won't ever change, may think it's strange
I'm born to rock & roll, I'm here to stay, yeah
What kind of person lives behind that face?
Inside your midnight eyes I'm staring into space
I don't understand
What kind of man do you think I am?
I'm falling out of control
You took my body and you tore out my soul
I don't understand
I'm just a simple man I am
I am
I don't really give a damn
You take me just the way I am
And only I have the answer
I'm not owned by Uncle Sam
And you're still guessing who I am
I'm your voodoo dancer
Voodoo dancer
Consider my feelings just one time
I've done my sentence even though there was no crime
I'm an innocent man
I should have learned to walk before I ever ran
I'm still running
You never know the secrets that I have inside my head I'm clever
My crystal ball it tells me all the things I wanna know forever
Now I'm feeling the emptiness inside still concealing
All the things I tried to hide forever
I don't understand
I don't really give a damn
You take me just the way I am
And I have the ultimate answer
I'm not owned by any man
And now you know just who I am
Yes I'm your voodoo dancer
Would you like to come and play in my fantasy?
There'll be no one there baby, just you and me
Now I feel the time is right
Love will flow like wine tonight
Give your love and it will come to you, yeah
If you feel that you and me
Could escape and hold the key
To a paradise that's true and free, yeah
Steal away
Steal away
Steal away the night
Now I've met your honesty
You are here and I am free
Broken chains have fallen all around, yeah
Point my finger at the fools
Broken chains and broken rules
Let it be rebellion rules tonight, yeah
Steal away
Steal away
Steal away the night
Could it be a dream come true
Now that I am here with you?
Tearful eyes of joy is something new, yeah
Run away with me tonight
Dream the dream and light the light
Happiness is what you give to me, yeah
Steal away
Steal away
Steal away the night
Steal away
Steal away
Steal away the night
Steal away
Steal away
Steal away the night
'Are you feeling the fire
Are you ready to explode
Are your dreams and desires
Running down an open road'
'I'm like a runaway
A heart without a home
I'll fight for every inch I take
I'm desperate to the bone'
Stay hungry-- feel the fire
Stay hungry-- don't explode
Stay hungry-- with desire
Stay hungry-- you're alone
Be the hunter and the hunted
Keep your target in your sight
Don't be sidetracked or shunted
Let pretenders feel your bite
Never show you're weak
Don't feel you've got to hide
Remember what you're fighting for
Remember what you seek
If your fire is faded
And you can't feel it no more
If you're tired and overrated
Let me show you to the door
Expect no sympathy
There's none to be had
Open your eyes and see
There's no room for wanna-be's, the has-been's or the bad
Spiders in the night
Creeping round the walls
Now you'll feel him
Crawling over you
Creepy crawly things
Filling up your bed
Soon you'll feel him
Crawling through your brains
You think he's there
Beware his bite
But when you look
The spider's not in sight
Spiders reappear
Taking peoples names
Everything is taken down insane
There's no way out
And there's no key
But here's a clue
The spider's really me
You're written in his book
The spider won't forget
You won't forget
The spiders in the night
The end is going night
Itsy witsy friends
The spiders disappearing from the night
You think he's gone
You think he's dead
There's no escape
The spiders in your head
All the spiders in the night
All the spiders in the night
All the spiders in the night
All these tears I cry
Don't you wonder why
Is it all a dream?
Never what it seems
Get under my skin
Should I let you in?
Don't you think it's bad
To give me something that I've never had
Every word I say
Everytime I pray
Look into my eyes
Distant voices cry
Is the light in me
Tell me what you see
You weren't what I had
Can't get something that I've never had
Can't get something that I've never had
Should I think tomorrow?
Ohhhh
Should I live for just today?
Take the light that burns inside you
Let it burn away
Let it burn away
Let it burn away
Will I see the day?
Will I have to pay?
What's inside of me?
You will never see
Won't you let me in?
Don't you let me see?
Do you think I'm mad?
Cause I want something that I've never had
Cause I want something that I've never had
Give me something that I've never had
Give me something that I've never had
Mother please forgive them
For they know not what they do
Looking back in history's books
It seems it's nothing new
Oh, let my mother live
Heaven is for heroes
And hell is full of fools
Stupidity, no will to live
They're breaking God's own rules
Please let my mother live
Father of all creation
I think we're all going wrong
Because their taking
Seems to be breaking
And it won't take too long
Children of the future
Watching empires fall
Madness, the cup they drink from
Self destruction, the toll
I had a vision, l saw the world burn
And the seas had turned red
The sun had fallen, the final curtain
In the land of the dead
Mother, please show the children
Before it's too late
To fight each other, there's no one winning
We must fight all the hate
Overbearing woman makin' it so hard for me
Now you've laid it down for all to see, yeah
Can I ask a question, d'ya think that you can take a blow
This is why I always come and go, yeah
Now you see it, now you don't, yeah
Careful of words that get caught in your throat
Face the music, take it like a man, yeah
Givin' it to me anyway that you can, yeah
Everybody's feeling everything you've got to feel
I've got something that you can't conceal
Now you see it, now you don't, yeah
Careful of words that get caught in your throat
Face the music, take it like a man, yeah
Givin' it to me anyway that you can
Now you see it, now you don't
Now you see it, now you don't
Now you see it, now you don't
Now you see it, now you don't
Now you see it, now you don't
Now you see it, now you don't
Give me central heating, hope that I can pay the bill
Making me forget my fear of hell, yeah
Must be luck in odd numbers, now you face me upside down
I'm so far up, I'm afraid to come back down, yeah
Now you see it, now you don't, yeah
Careful of words that get caught in your throat
Face the music, take it like a man, yeah
Givin' it to me anyway that you can
You must seduce me, the ties with fire
My one addiction, your sweet desire
Is living in a world of hate and dreams
Standing at the end of time
We had paradise but that was lost
Forever to mankind
No place for angels, for you and me
No place for angels, I'm lost in your reality,
Where life seems so unreal
I feel the madness, the jesus liar
The one creation, obsessed by fire
We're, living in a world of hate and dreams
Standing at the end of time
We had paradise but that was lost
Forever to mankind
No place for angels, for you and me
No place for angels, I'm lost in your reality
Where life seems so unreal
You may think that I'm just a crazy guy
And I wear the madman's masks
Do I live my life in a fake disguise?
Is my world just caving in (ahhhhh)
No place for angels, for you and me
No place for angels, I'm lost in your reality
Where life seems so unreal
Wrything and screaming
The pain just won't go
He'll show you no mercy
Your image in his hands
It's useless to try
Escaping his curses
The pins and needles prick the skin of little dolls
Tortured and flaming
You give birth to hell
Living a nightmare
Feelings of pity
You'll pray for your death
But he's in no hurry
The pins and needles prick the skin of little dolls
Nowhere to run
Your fate is in his hands
Your time has come
You'll live to his command
I'm warning you
The worst is yet to come
The killer who
Remains a mystery
I that believe in
The stories of old
Would never fight it
Vengeance and curses
That play on your soul
Like something ignited
You never imagined
Such a fate could follow you
(You never thought it was true)
And when it's your time
I wonder how you'll do
Your kind of troubles
Running deeper than the sea
You broke the rules
You've been a fool
The little doll is you, yeah
Nowhere to run
Your fate is in his hands
Your time has come
You'll live to his command
I'm warning you
The worst is yet to come
The killer who
Remains a mystery
Wrything and screaming
The pain just won't go
He'll show you no mercy
Your image in his hands
It's useless to try
Escaping his curses
Nowhere to run
Your fate is in his hands
Your time has come
You'll live to his command
I'm warning you
The worst is yet to come
The killer who
Remains a mystery
Stop the night, the night
My thoughts get louder after dark
Oh the lies
The crazies tell me this much
Aha!
It's a simple enough task boys
To find a living miracle
But the living ain't easy
I need a shot of medicine
Start the day, the day
My head denies I'm breathing
It likes to say
Am I here or leaving me?
There's a want I ask all the time
Possession of my right mind
You're not deaf but I still have to shout
Watch out there's a lot of thieves about
All along the way
I stand beside myself
And look at all my world
No need to tell me
I see dead men playing
I hear cries from many
I hear tears and then some
I hear hop I'm hoping
I'm caught with all the shutters down
Who's looking through my window?
I had to close the saddest eyes
You've got to be a winner
You've got to be cool
I see me inside you
I hear fear and then some
I see children playing
I see hope I'm hoping
Far away
I hear a memory calling me
I'd like to stay
But my obsession wants to play
[Iron Man]
Has he lost his mind?
Can he see or is he blind?
Can he walk at all,
Or if he moves will he fall?
Is he alive or dead?
Has he thoughts within his head?
We'll just pass him there
Why should we even care?
He was turned to steel
In the great magnetic field
Where he traveled time
For the future of mankind
Nobody wants him
They just turn their heads
Nobody helps him
So he waits his revenge
Now the time is here
For Iron Man to spread fear
Vengeance from the grave
Kills the people he once saved
Nobody wants him
They just turn their heads
Nobody helps him
Now he has his revenge
[Children of the Grave]
Revolution in their minds - the children start to march
Against the world they have to live in
Oh! the hate that's in their hearts
They're tired of being pushed around
and told just what to do
They'll fight the world until they've won
and love comes flowing through. Yeah!
Children of tomorrow live in the tears that fall today
Will the sunrise of tomorrow bring in peace in any way
Must they live in constant shadow of atomic fear
Can they win the fight for peace or will they disappear? Yeah!
So you children of the world listen to what I say
If you want a better place to live in spread
the world today
Show the world that love is still alive you must be brave
Or your children of today are children of the grave. Yeah!
don't know what they're talking about
I'm making my own decisions
This thing that I found
Ain't gonna bring me down
I'm like a junkie without an addiction
Mama don't cry
I just wanna say hi
Like playing with danger or fear
Everybody's walking but nobody's talking
It looks a lot better from here
All my life I've been over the top
I don't know what I'm doing,
All I know is I don't wanna stop
All fired up, I'm gonna go to the top
I'm as real as the world will make me
I don't wanna stop
Why don't they ever listen to me?
Is this a one-way conversation?
Nothing they say is gonna set me free
Don't need to make no reservations
To make me religious for only one god
I don't need another saviour
Don't try to change my mind
You know I'm one of a kind
Ain't gonna change my bad behaviour
All my life I've been over the top
I don't know what I'm doing,
All I know is I don't wanna stop
All fired up, I'm gonna go to the top
I'm as real as the world will make me
I don't wanna stop
All my life I've been over the top
I don't know what I'm doing,
All I know is I don't wanna stop
All fired up, I'm gonna go to the top
I'm as real as the world will make me
I don't wanna stop
I don't wanna stop
I don't wanna stop
I don't wanna stop
I don't wanna stop
All my life I've been over the top
I don't know what I'm doing,
All I know is I don't wanna stop
All fired up, I'm gonna go to the top
I'm as real as the world will make me
I don't wanna stop
All my life I've been over the top
I don't know what I'm doing,
All I know is I don't wanna stop
All fired up, I'm gonna go to the top
I'm as real as the world will make me
I don't wanna stop
Standing at the crossroads, world spinning round and round
Know which way I'm going, you can't bring me down
Don't you try and teach me no original sin
I don't need your pity for the shape I'm in
I Don't Wanna Chaneg The World
I don't want the world to change me
I Don't Wanna Chaneg The World
I don't want the world to change me
Tell me I'm a sinner I got news for you
I spoke to God this morning and he don't like you
You telling all the people the original sin
He says he knows you better that you'll ever know him
You know it ain't easy
You know it ain't fair
So don't try to please me
Because I really don't care
Don't tell me stories 'cause yesterday's glories
Have gone away, so far away
I've heard it said there's a light up ahead
Lord I hope and pray I'm here to stay
Tell me I'm a sinner I got news for you
I sspoke to God this morning and he don't like you
Don't you try and teach me no original sin
I don't need your pity for the shape I'm in
I hear you breathing though you're so far away
Can you just go where you're going to?
I couldn't give a damn or two about a fool like you
That's true
Are you just too cool? No, you're just perfectly cold
And what goes 'round still comes around
I think it's all summed up and down in a fool like you
That's true
Today is just another day
You hold your ticket into nowhere
It's up to you if you'll stay
And turn your day into a nightmare
You think you know it, you think you know it all
But you don't even have a clue
And control is still in view for a fool like you
That's true
Is there a reason for the way that you are
Or does it just come naturally?
To have an idiosyncrasy and be a fool like you
That's true
You're hearing what you want to hear
Misunderstanding all you see
An attitude in all of us
Is it really you and me
He's hiding, residing deep within the crowd
A hand out, he'll pull you down
You've been found guilty, committed every crime
But still they say you must go free
Looks like haunted I will be by a fool like you
That's true
By a fool like you, by a fool like you
Looks like haunted I will be by a fool like you
That's true
By a fool like you, by a fool like you
Looks like haunted I will be by a fool like you
That's true
What happend, to all of us,
The things we say, our evil ways,
Who can we, really trust,
Our lives and betrayal, it's why we pay.
Can you believe in love, lost in this world,
Can you believe in love, and it's not too late.
End of days, and there's a full moon rising,
End of days, and there's a full moon rising, again.
Who are you,
Do you really know,
What you've become, hollow and numb,
Thickness, it eats away,
All of your dreams,
Left sided dreams.
Can you believe in love, lost in this world,
Can you believe in love, and it's not too late.
End of days, and there's a full moon rising,
End of days, and there's a full moon rising.
Can you believe in love, lost in this world,
Can you believe in love, and it's not too late,
Can you believe in love, lost in this world,
Can you believe in love, and it's not too late,
End of days, and there's a full moon rising,
End of days, and there's a full moon rising,
End of days, and there's a full moon rising,
End of days, and there's a full moon rising.
Can you believe in love.
I'm sick and tired of your excuses
Can't deal with living anymore
I'll give you reasons to continue
While you lie writhing on the floor
I'll wash away your lies
And have you hypnotized
There'll be no compromise today
I'll share your life of shame
I think you know my name
I'll introduce myself today
I'm the demon alcohol
Demon alcohol
I'll get you
If you could deal with your reflection
I'm sure you'd see into my eyes
There'll be no need for resurrection
Let's drink to people of the lies
Although that one's too much
You know ten's not enough
There'll be no compromise today
I'll watch you lose control
Consume your very soul
I'll introduce myself today
I'm the demon alcohol
Demon alcohol, ha ha
Demon alcohol
Demon alcohol
Let's party
I'm the demon alcohol
I'm the demon alcohol
I'm sick and tired of resolutions
You've quit me time and time again
Don't speak of suicide solutions
You took my hand I'm here to stay
This time it's you or me
I'll never set you free
There'll be no compromise today
So satisfy your lust
Too much can't be enough
I'll introduce myself today
I'm the demon alcohol
The demon alcohol, ha ha
Demon alcohol
Demon alcohol
Revolution in their minds - the children start to march
Against the world in which they have to live
and all the hate that's in their hearts
They're tired of being pushed around
and told just what to do
They'll fight the world until they've won
and love comes flowing through
Children of tomorrow live in the tears that fall today
Will the sun rise up tomorrow bringing peace in any way?
Must the world live in the shadow of atomic fear?
Can they win the fight for peace or will they disappear?
So you children of the world,
listen to what I say
If you want a better place to live in
spread the words today
Show the world that love is still alive
you must be brave
Or you children of today are
Your comin' home
There's blood on the walls
When charlie and the family made house calls
If you're alone
Then watch what you do
'cos charlie and the family might get you, yeah
Chorus:
Can you hear them
In the darkness
Helter skelter
Spiral madness, yeah
Bloodbath in paradise, but there's no where you can run
to baby
Bloodbath in paradise - forever sleep in Paradise.
California sun
But you're still in bed
And the California rain is turning red
No sign of life
Or the keepers of doom
In charlie and the keeper's scarlet room, yeah
Chorus
They'll summon you
To wake from the dead As you lie bleeding, murdered in
your bed
The sweetest dreams are all in your mind
But no one wakes when charlie creeps behind, yeah
Execution
Halts your breath
Helter skelter
Spiral death, yeah
Bloodbath in paradise, but there's no way you can wake
now, baby
Times have changed and times are strange
Here I come , But I ain't the same
Mama, I'm Coming Home
Times gone by seems to be
You could have been a better friend to me
Mama, I'm Coming Home
You took me in and you drove me out
Yeah, you had me hypnotized
Lost and found and turned around
By the fire in your eyes
You made me cry, you told me lies
But, I can't stand to say goodbye
Mama, I'm Coming Home
I could be right, I could be wrong
It hurts so bad, it's been so long
Mama, I'm Coming Home
Selfish love yeah we're both alone
The ride before the fall
But I'm gonna take this heart of stone
I just got to have it all
I've seen your face a hundred times
Everyday we've been apart
I don't care about the sunshine, yeah
'Cause Mama, Mama, I'm Coming Home
I'm Coming Home
You took me in and you drove me out
Yeah, you had the hypnotised
Lost and found and turned around
By the fire in your eyes
I've seen your face a thousand times
Everyday we've been apart
And I don't care about the sunshine, yeah
'Cause Mama, Mama, I'm Coming Home
I'm Coming Home
Billy rapped all night about his suicide
How he'd kick it in the head when he was 25
Sweet guy, don't wanna stay alive when you're 25
Wendy's stealing clothes from marks and sparks
Freddy's got spots from ripping off stars from his face
Funky little boat race

With his beatles and his stones
We never got if off on that revolution stuff
It was such a drag, too many snags
Well I drunk a lot of wine
And I'm feeling fine

Woman I can hardly express,
My mixed emotions and my thoughtlessness,
After all I'm forever in your debt,
And woman I will try to express,
My inner feelings and my thankfulness,
For showing me the meaning of success,
Oooh well, well, do do do do do do
Oooh well, well, do do do do do do
Woman I know you understand
The little child inside the man,
Please remember my life is in your hands,
And woman hold me close to your heart,
However distant don't keep us apart,
After all it is written in the stars,
Oooh well, well, do do do do do do
Oooh well, well, do do do do do do
Woman please let me explain,
I never meant to cause you sorrow and pain,
So let me tell you again and again and again,
I love you (yeah, yeah) now and forever,
I love you (yeah, yeah) now and forever,
I love you (yeah, yeah) now and forever,
Waiting for darkness
Why doesn't anybody see now?
Deafened by silence
Why doesn't anybody hear?
I'm waiting for darkness
Playing with fire
But they're screaming
When they're burned, yeah
Out of the sunlight
Hasn't anybody learned
I know what they'll find
It's in their mind
It's what they want to see
Spare me from the light
Here comes the night
And here I'll stay
Waiting for darkness
I'm waiting for darkness
I'm waiting for darkness
I'm waiting for darkness
Promise me rebirth
And then you tear me from the womb
Give me my freedom
And then you lock me in a tomb
I know what they'll find
It's in their mind
It's what they want to see
Spare me from the light
Here comes the night
And here I'll stay
Waiting for darkness
I'm waiting for darkness
You gotta believe, you gotta believe its true
I'm waiting for darkness
I just can't conceive why darkness is overdue.
I'm waiting for darkness
I'm waiting for darkness
I'm waiting for darkness
Who knows the answers
Is it friend or is it foe?
Don't ask me questions
There are things you should not know
I know what they'll find
It's in their mind
It's what they want to see
Spare me from the light
Here comes the night
And here I'll stay
Waiting for darkness
I'm waiting for darkness
I'm waiting for darkness
I'm waiting for darkness
I'm waiting for darkness
I'm waiting for darkness
I'm waiting for darkness
Can you see your reflection
False strength, hollow protection
Run from pain and rejection
The truth stabs again
Till the skin is broken
And the cut is open
And the words once spoken
Just fade away
Too late, standing on the trap door
Too late, standing on the trap door
Too late, standing on the trap door
Too late, standing on the trap door
Big head leads to confusion
Strong heart pumps up delusion
Tough talk, one voice communion
Medicate the pain
Justify your ego
Living with denial
And the thoughts so vile
Won't fade away
Too late, standing on the trap door
Too late, standing on the trap door
Too late, standing on the trap door
Too late, standing on the trap door
It's coming
You're falling
You're on your own with no one left to blame
Can't sleep? 'cause you've made your own bed
The sentence of the helpless
Sink deep to the trial in your head
The court of the selfish
Why? Tell me why? Can't evade or escape the reality
A true lie and a broken promise
A Judas and a doubting Thomas
A tragedy just to keep you honest
Guilty always fall
Through the trap door
Fear the trap door
Through the trap door
The trap door, the trap door
No fear, too scared to look up
Can't win, nothing but bad luck
Clock ticks, your time to face up
You can't run for long
When your world is broken
Your trap door is open
The very words you choke on
Just fade away
Too late, standing on the trap door
Too late, standing on the trap door
Too late, standing on the trap door
Your thoughts are compromising
Self-centered patronizing
Your image supersedes your soul
You find me mystifying
Subhuman, so annoying
You can't have me under control
You think you live forever
You don't find that profound
You won't think you're so clever
When you hear thunder underground
All right now
Your morbid fear of losing
Destroys the lives you're using
You only have one point of views
The stigma of delusion
Confirms your self illusion
And after all this could be you
You think you live forever
You don't find that profound
You won't think you're so clever
When you hear thunder underground
Here we go now
Could it be that I have found my mind or have I gone insane?
Roller coaster of the madness and there's only me to blame
The ever faithful hand of doom will take the pain away
I'll never know the answer to it all 'til my dying day
Your bullshit culture licking
Can't stop the deathwatch ticking
You're only mortal after all
Your appetite for power
Subvert your every hour
But every time the mighty fall
You think you live forever
You don't find that profound
You won't think you're so clever
When you hear thunder underground
Overkill enough is enough
There's nothing left of me to devour
You've had your fill I'm all I have left
What can stop your hunger for power
'Cos you took advantage of things that I said
Now the feeling is dead
And that's the ultimate sin
And that's the ultimate sin
Anyway I look at it now
The doors are closed and cannot be opened
Bury your anger and bury your dead
Or you'll be left with nothing and no one
There's no point in screaming 'cos you won't be heard
Now that tables have turned
It was the ultimate sin
It was the ultimate sin
It was the ultimate sin
I warned you then and I'm warning you now
If you mess with me you're playing with fire
Winds of change that are fanning the flames
Will carry you to your funeral pyre
It's pulling you down
It's your final descent
It's too late to repent
When it's the ultimate sin
When it's the ultimate sin
When it's the ultimate sin
Well she's a mean hard woman and she knows what she wants
She is my tattooed rock 'n' roll dancer
I'm under her thumb, tells me to come
Oh 'Hi' is the only way I can answer
They're gonna put me away
Put me away
God damn them
Well I can hear her comin' like a dog that's on heat
She never takes no for an answer
She's drivin' me mad she makes it good to be bad
My little tattooed rock 'n' roll dancer
They'll try to put me away
Put me away
God damn them
They'll never put me away
Put me away
God soul's on fire
Tattooed dancer
Dance for me bitch
I think I'm in great danger goin' over the top
There is no question, only an answer
She can't give me love, I think I've fallen in lust
With this tattooed rock 'n' roll dancer
They'll never put me away
Put me away
God damn them
They'll never put me away
Put me away
God soul's on fire
They'll never put me away
Been around this world so many times
If you could only see my mind
I watch my secret heaven turn to hell
Faith alone has guided me
The ghost of my own destiny
I haven't even got a soul to sell
All the thing I put me through
I wouldn't wish my hell on you
You'll never know what's going on inside
Just another lonely broken hero
Picking up the pieces of my mind
Running out of faith and hope and reason
I'm running out of time
Running out of time
Trouble always seems find
A way to live inside my mind
My haunted head and me remain alone
Underneath my masqerade
A simple man who's so afraid
I try to find a light to guide me home
Momma please just hold me tight
Feeling so afraid tonight
Cause your the only one that really knows
Just another lonely broken hero
Picking up the pieces of my mind
Running out of faith and hope and reason
I'm running out of time
Running out of time
Fighting for my sanity
Many nights of tragedy
Got to leave my Wretched ways behind
Just another lonely broken hero
Picking up the pieces of my mind
Running out of fate and hope and reason
I'm running out of time
Running out of time
I'm running out of time
Running out of time
Underneath my masquerade
Spiders in the night
Creeping 'round the walls
Now you'll feel him
Crawling over you
Creepy crawly things
Filling up your bed
Soon you'll feel him
Crawling through your brains
You think he's there
Beware his bite
But when you look
The spider's not in sight
Spiders reappear
Taking peoples names
Everything is
Taken down insane
There's no way out
And there's no key
But here's a clue
The spider's really me
You're written in his book
The spider won't forget
You won't forget
The spiders in the night
The end is going night
Itsy witsy friends
The spiders disappearing
From the night
You think he's gone
You think he's dead
There's no escape
The spider's in your head
All the spiders in the night
All the spiders in the night
All the spiders in the night
I'll never bother keeping up with you
Burning the candle at both ends it's true
You know the writing's on the wall
Why do you ride to take a fall
Slow down you're moving way too fast
(Your feet don't ever touch the ground)
Slow down you know you'll never last
(You're seeking that which can't be found)
Slow down your haste is making waste
(Your feet don't ever touch the ground)
Slow down and join the human race
(You're seeking that which can't be found)
I tried to tell you time and time again
You know you'll have to pay the consequence
Now you're obsessed with such a pace
But slow and steady wins the race
Slow down you're moving way too fast
(Your feet don't ever touch the ground)
Slow down you know you'll never last
(You're seeking that which can't be found)
Slow down your haste is making waste
(Your feet don't ever touch the ground)
Slow down and join the human race
(You're seeking that which can't be found)
You seem to run around and round in vain
People are saying that you've gone insane
Tell me just what you're running from
One day you're here and the next you're gone
Slow down you're moving way too fast
(Your feet don't ever touch the ground)
Slow down you know you'll never last
(You're seeking that which can't be found)
Slow down your haste is making waste
(Your feet don't ever touch the ground)
Slow down and join the human race
Out on the street
I'm stalking the night
I can hear my
heavy breathing
Paid for the kill but
it doesn't seem right
Something there
I can't believe in
Voices are calling
from inside my head
I can hear them
I can hear them
Vanishing memories of
things that were said
They can't try to hurt me now
But a shot in the dark
one step away from you
Just a shot in the dark
always creeping up on you
Taught by the powers
that preach over me
I can hear their empty reason
I wouldn't listen
I learned how to fight
I opened up my mind to treason
But just like the wounded
and when it's too late
They'll remember
they'll surrender
Never a care for
the people who hate
Underestimate me now
But a shot in the dark
one step away from you
Just a shot in the dark
nothing that you can do
Just a shot in the dark
always creeping up on you
Alright
(instrumental)
But just like the wounded
and when it's too late
They'll remember
they'll surrender
Never a care for
the people who hate
Underestimate me now
But a shot in the dark
one step away from you
Just a shot in the dark
nothing that you can do
Just a shot in the dark
always creeping up on you
Alright
It's just a shot in the dark
It's just a shot in the dark
It's just a shot in the dark
I'm a rock star, I'm a dealer
I'm a servant, I'm a leader
I'm a savior, I'm a sinner, I'm a killer
I'll be anything you want me to be
Silent as a witness
Make your heart race with a death kiss
I'm a soldier in a blood war
In the peace corp I am everything you'll ever be
Loser number zero
Play the victim, end up a hero
I'm a teacher, preacher
Liar, I am anything, everything
I'm a mover and a shaker
The oppressor, stimulator
I'm a coward, I'm a fighter
I'm everything
You are me, I am you
Everything is breaking, no mistaking, it's all changing
Tear it down, watch it all start burning
All that's done is done, just let it lie
It's a revelation, celebration, graduation
Times collide, watch the world awaken
All the past regrets from days gone by
Let it go, let it die
It's a new day for the faceless
Take the torches from the useless
First amendment second guesses
All dependent, I'll do anything to help you
Fallen crosses, new alliance
Deeper thinkers, modern science
(Android)
Open guest list, all inclusive
No one loses everything you always wanted
Honest answers for the bruises
Full disclosure, no excuses
Open handshake, clean slate
No hate, living history
Misery, information, revolution
Loading up for execution
Push the button, pull the trigger, I'm everything
Another day, another full seizure,
Another pill, you spiral down deeper,
Another cut by a surgical butcher,
It's just a way of prolonging the torture
I won't say I don't know what I'm doing,
I won't say that I'm sorry (I'm sorry)
I can't bring you back,
I can't leave you helpless (helpless),
I'll make the pain rest in peace (rest in peace)
I'll turn off the lights,
Swallow your last breath (last breath),
So close your eyes, fall asleep (close your eyes)
I'll never hurt you (hurt you),
I'll never hurt you (hurt you)
The sun shines on this deadly new morning,
The church bells ring an early warning,
Your eyes shine as I turn on the motor,
The tears fall as the mercy gets closer
I won't say I don't know what I'm doing,
I won't say that I'm sorry (I'm sorry)
I can't bring you back,
I can't leave you helpless (helpless),
I'll make the pain rest in peace (rest in peace)
I'll turn off the lights,
Swallow your last breath (last breath),
So close your eyes, fall asleep (close your eyes)
I'll never hurt you (hurt you),
I'll never hurt you (hurt you)
I can't bring you back,
I can't leave you helpless (helpless),
I'll make the pain rest in peace (rest in peace)
I'll turn off the lights,
Swallow your last breath (last breath),
So close your eyes, fall asleep (close your eyes)
I'll never hurt you (hurt you),
If none of us believe in war
Then can you tell me what the weapon's for?
Listen to me everyone
If the button is pushed there'll be nowhere to run
Giants sleeping giants winning wars within their dreams
Till they wake when it's too late and in God's name blaspheme
Killer of giants threatens us all
Mountains of madness standing so tall
Marches of protest not stopping the war
Or the killer of giants, the killer of giants
Mother nature people state your case without it's worth
Your seas run dry your sleepless eyes are turning red alert
Killer of giants threatens us all
Mountains of madness standing so tall
Rising so proudly it has nowhere to fall
This killer of giants, this killer of giants, yeah
Killer of giants threatens us all
Mountains of madness standing so tall
Marches of protest not stopping the war
Oh the killer of giants, oh the killer of giants
We all must stand together now
A one by one we fall
For all these years you stood by me
God bless
I don't know what they're talking about
I'm making my own decisions
This thing that I found ain't gonna bring me down
I'm like a junkie without an addiction
Mama don't cry I just wanna stay high
Like playing with danger or fear
Everybody's walking but nobody's talking
It looks a lot better from here
All my life I've been over the top
I don't know what I'm doing
All I know is I don't wanna stop
All fired up, I'm gonna go till I drop
You're either in or in the way
Don't make me, I don't wanna stop
Why don't they ever listen to me?
Is this a one way conversation?
Nothing they say is gonna set me free
Don't need no mental masturbation
Too many religions for only one god
I don't need another savior
Don't try to change my mind, you know I'm one of a kind
Ain't gonna change my bad behavior
All my life I've been over the top
I don't know what I'm doing
All I know is I don't wanna stop
All fired up, I'm gonna go till I drop
You're either in or in the way
Don't make me, I don't wanna stop
All my life I've been over the top
I don't know what I'm doing
All I know is I don't wanna stop
All fired up, I'm gonna go till I drop
You're either in or in the way
Don't make me, I don't wanna stop
I don't wanna stop
I don't wanna stop
I don't wanna stop
All my life I've been over the top
I don't know what I'm doing
All I know is I don't wanna stop
All fired up, I'm gonna go till I drop
You're either in or in the way
Don't make me I don't wanna stop
All my life I've been over the top
I don't know what I'm doing
All I know is I don't wanna stop
All fired up, I'm gonna go till I drop
You're either in or in the way
*People look to me and say
Is the end near, when is the final day
What's the future of mankind
How do I know, I got left behind
*Everyone goes through changes
Looking to find the truth
Don't look to me for answers
Don't ask me--I don't know
How am I supposed to know
Hidden meanings that will never show
Fools and prophets from the past
Life's a stage and we're all in the cast
Ya gotta believe in someone asking me who is right
Asking me who to follow, don't ask me, I don't know
I don't know--I don't know--I don't know
Nobody ever told me I found out for myself
Ya gotta believe in foolish miracles
It's not how you play the game
It's if you win or lose, you can choose
Don't confuse win or lose, it's up to you
It's up to you--It's up to you--It's up to you
Solo
don't want to be a hero
I don't want to ever let you down
No, I don't want to let you down
I could try to take you higher
But I don't want to wear a broken crown
You know it brings me down
Don't think you'll ever understand me
I don't even understand me
Don't have the power to anoint you
And I don't want to disappoint
The fools no more
The fools no more
I couldn't answer all your questions
And if you're lost I couldn't find your way
I couldn't find your way
You know you have to face the music
You changed your tune and don't know what to play
So don't you run away
Everybody's talking crazy
Some think I am a devil maybe
I don't want to hear about it
Don't want to have to scream and shout
At fools no more
The fools no more
So, I don't want to be a hero
Don't want to sit upon your crippled throne
I've got a life of my own
I am not your destination
Or a road that's gonna lead you home
So, baby please don't go
Please don't go
Please don't go
Please don't go
Please don't go
Please don't go
Please don't go
Please don't go
I remember all the good times
Sometimes I'd wonder would it last
I used to dream about the future
But now the future is the past
I don't wanna live in yesterday
Cross my heart until I die
Don't wanna know just what tomorrow may bring
Because today has just begun
No matter whatever else I've done
I'm here for you
I'm here for you
So now I sit here and I wonder
What ever happened to my friends?
Too many bought a one way ticket
But I'll be with you 'til the end
I don't wanna live in yesterday
Cross my heart until I die
Don't wanna know just what tomorrow may bring
Because today has just begun
No matter whatever else I've done
I'm here for you
You're my religion, you're my reason to live
You are the heaven in my hell
We've been together for a long long time
And I just can't live without you
No matter what you do, I'm here for you
I don't wanna live in yesterday
Cross my heart until I die
Don't wanna know just what tomorrow may bring
Because today has just begun
No matter whatever else I've done
I'm here for you
I'm here for you
I'm here for you
The fire started long ago
The flames burned out, still embers glow
So charred and black there's nothing left to burn
To burn
We had the same dream lived life to extreme
A loaded gun jammed by a rose
The thorns are not around your head
Your ego cursed you till you bled
You cannot crucify the dead
To me you're dead, yeah
The future is unset in stone
Decisions past leave you alone
Betrayed us all with your own selfish greed
Your greed, yeah
New soldiers now say that your beggars collect
Re-crucified and paid by you
The thorns are not around your head
Your ego cursed you till you bled
You cannot crucify the dead
To me you're dead, yeah
We were like brothers with the world in our hands
You always have too much to say
Someday you look back and you wonder why
You let it all slip away, yeah
guitar solo
Crucify the dead, crucify the dead
The thorns are not around your head
Your ego cursed you till you bled
You cannot crucify the dead
All aboard
Crazy,but that's how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe it's not too late
To learn how to love
And forget how to hate
Mental wounds not healing
life's a bitter shame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I've listened to preachers
I've listened to fools
I've watched all the dropouts
Who make their own rules
One person conditioned to rule and control
The media sells it and you live the role
Mental wounds still screaming
Driving me insane
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I know that things are going wrong for me
You gotta listen to my words
Yeah
Heirs of a cold war
That's what we've become
Inheriting troubles I'm mentally numb
Crazy, I just can not bare
I'm living with something that just is't fair
Mental wounds not healing
Who and what's to blame

Title: Centre Of Eternity
There's no present there's no future
I don't even know about the past
It's all timeless and never ending
To take it in it's all too vast
It goes--forever and ever
You thought you knew but you never
There goes
Tomorrow
Journey to the centre of eternity
Journey to the centre of eternity
The time is coming but also going
And it's leaving never to return
Maybe forever it could be heaven
But if it's hell then you can watch me burn
It goes--forever and ever
You thought you knew but you never
There goes
Tomorrow
I got to travel forever
It's all within my mind
An endless path to endeavour
But forever is a long long time
There's no secrets and no corruption
In the centre of infinity
There's no limits in non-existence
And no beginning to my destiny
It goes--forever and ever
You thought you knew but you never
There goes
Tomorrow
Journey to the centre of eternity
I don't need a doctor
But I need something to kill the pain
Don't know what I'm after
But the pressure's driving me insane
Searching for a different role
Had a funny feeling I can't hide
Hey, hey, do the Zombie Stomp
Why can't they just let me be
Alone without the misery
Hey, hey, do the Zombie, Zombie Stomp
Hey, hey, do the Zombie Stomp
Hey, hey, do the Zombie Stomp
Flirting with disaster
Morning after killing me again
Hiding from the laughter
And the demons dancing round my brain
Always dancing on thin ice
I guess I'll have to pay the price
Hey, hey, do the Zombie Stomp
Thinkin' how it could have been
If I had never let them in
Hey, hey, do the Zombie, Zombie Stomp
Hey, hey, do the Zombie Stomp
Hey, hey, do the Zombie Stomp
Hey, hey, do the Zombie Stomp
Hey, hey, do the Zombie Stomp
Take me to the doctor
'Cause I feel it coming on again
Don't know where I'm going
'Cause I guess I don't know where I've been
Looking for a different ride
Always dancing on thin ice
Hey, hey, do the Zombie Stomp
Thinking how it could have been
If I had never let them in
Hey, hey, do the Zombie, Zombie Stomp
Hey, hey, do the Zombie Stomp
Hey, hey, do the Zombie Stomp
Hey, hey, do the Zombie Stomp
How many times can you put me down
'Til in your heart you realize,
If you choose to criticize
You choose your enemies
Everything that I say and do
In your eyes is always wrong,
Tell me where do I belong
In a sick society
You're no different to me yeah
You're no different,
No different to me
Look at yourself instead of looking at me
With accusation in your eyes,
Do you want me crucified for my profanity
Concealing your crimes behind a Grandeur of lies
Tell me where do I begin
If you think you're without sin
Be the first to cast the stone
You're no different to me yeah
You're no different, no different to me
You're no different to me yeah
You're no different, no different to me
Can't you see, can't you see
You're no different to me
Won't you see, won't you see
You're no different to me
Living my life in a way that I choose
You say I should apologize,
Is that envy in your eyes
Reflecting jealousy
Tell me the truth and I'll admit to my guilt
If you'll try and understand,
Tried to be your father
Things just made it harder
Sorry if I made you cry
Years turned you against me
Heart was always aching
And I never thought you'd say goodbye
I could have been wrong
You know
I should have been strong
You know
How many times can they fill me with lies and I listen, again
Twisting the truth and they're playin' around with my head O.K.
The things they will do and the things they will say
But they don't really uunderstand
Tears fill my eyes when I hear all the cries
For the reason today
And they don't really know even what they're talkin' about
And I can't imagine what empty heads can achieve
Chorus:
Leave me alone don't want your promises no more
'Cause rock n' roll is my religion and my law
Won't ever change, may think it's strange
You can't kill rock n' roll it's here to stay
Lookin' through eyes of time mirrors reflecting their stories
Untrue
Promises, promises, telling me all of my glories overdue
How many times have I heard it before
And I'll probably hear it again
King of a thousand knights, pawn in a table light
Losing to you
And they don't really know even what they're talkin' about
And I can't imagine what empty heads can achieve
Chorus
Even the rhymes that they give me in times of confession
Ain't true
Outcome is obvious all for them none for us meaning you too
The things they will do and the things they will say
When they don't really understand
Fear of rejection I need their protection
I'm making a stand
And they don't really know even what they're talkin' about
And I can't imagine what empty heads can achieve
Chorus
Generals gathered in their masses
just like witches at black masses
evil minds that plot destruction
sorcerers of death's construction
in the fields the bodies burning
as the war machine keeps turning
death and hatred to mankind
poisoning their brainwashed minds, oh lord yeah!
Politicians hide themselves away
they only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor
Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait 'till their judgement day comes, yeah!
Now in darkness, world stops turning
ashes were the bodies burning
No more war pigs of the power
Hand of god has struck the hour
Day of judgement, god is calling
on their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
OH LORD YEAH!
Generals gathered in their masses
Just like Witches at Black Masses
In the fields their bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerer of death's construction
It's the same wherever you go
To the War Pigs people know
OH LORD YEAH!
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait till their judgement day comes ... Yeah!
People running like they're sheep in fields
People blowing out their minds
Say that you're dying here ... I know it now
Hey, you're the goner at the end ... Yeah!
On the scene a priest appears
Hell is falling at his knees
Satan sends out funeral pyre
Cast the priest into the fire
It's the place for all bad sinners
Watch them eating dead rat cinders
It's the same wherever you go
To Black Masses people go
now i'm back out on the street again
it never rains unless it pours
try to get back on my feet again
i hear the raging thunder as it roars
tonight, tonight, is it just a rhapsody,
or am i right,
tonight, tonight, is it all a mystery
i just cant fight no more
i hear the questions surface in my mind
of my mistakes that i have made
times and places have left behind
and am i ever gonna make the grade
tonight, tonight, is it just a rhapsody
or am i right
tonight, tonight is it all a mystery
i just cant fight no more
as i beat my head against the wall
running round in circles in vain
i'm feeling 3 foot tall
you dont understand, im fading away
dont want your pity or your sympathy
it isn't gonna prove a thing to me
good intentions pave the way to hell
dont you worry when you hear me sing
tonight, tonight, is it just a rhapsody,
or am i right,
tonight, tonight, is it all a mystery
Have you read the message the writing on the wall?
Could it be the answer, the answer to it all?
What's going down in heaven? I'm playing with your head
Don't believe them when they tell you, you'd be better off dead
Living in the thunder, driving me insane
Can I get a witness to take away the pain?
Walking on the water going nowhere fast
Feeling like I'm walking with no shoes on broken glass
You know it
You don't have to leave the lights on
I'm so used to being blind
No more goodbyes or yesterday's, so it's
I'll see you tomorrow
I'll see you tomorrow
Welcome to the sideshow, I'll cut it to the chase
Yeah, I can hear you thinking it's going all to waste
I don't mean to offend you when I look you in the eyes
What's all this commotion? It leaves me mystified
Chasing all the rainbows, falling from the sky
I know your intentions are all a bunch of lies
I'm running out of patience, falling off track
You better start to worry 'cause I may not make it back
Alright, now
You don't have to leave the the lights on
I'm so used to being blind
One good reason to blow me away, so it's
I'll see you tomorrow
I'll see you tomorrow
Can wait till tomorrow?
'Cos tomorrow never comes
I never killed anybody
It was a gun
Living in the big house, dying by the rail
If I wanted your opinion I'd call you up in hell
Could that be the mailman knocking on the door?
Or just another lightweight finally evening the score
You know it
You don't have to leave the the lights on
Now I'm so used to being blind
No more goodbyes or yesterday's, so it's
I'll see you tomorrow
No more reasons to blow you away, so it's
The time has come for you
To make up your own mind (mind),
Stop looking for the answers
That you'll never find
Save all your tears for when you
Really need to cry,
Don't wish your life away,
Just spread your wings and fly
Time waits for no one, yeah,
It's never what it seems,
Stop waiting for tomorrow,
Stop living in your dreams, yeah
This life fading away,
This life ticking like a time bomb
Ready to blow your tortured mind
I know it's wasting away,
We don't plan for when it goes wrong,
The time that we lose,
We will never find time
(Time, time, time, time, time, time...)
Can't hide the clock
When every line shows on your face (face),
So take it slow,
You'll never win the human race
Time waits for no one, yeah,
Everything must change,
Stop running to the future,
Stop living for today
This life fading away,
This life ticking like a time bomb
Ready to blow your tortured mind
I know it's wasting away,
We don't plan for when it goes wrong,
The time that we lose,
We will never find time
Just live every moment of each day,
'Cause death is the price we all must pay
(This life fading away),
This life ticking like a time bomb
Ready to blow your tortured mind
I know it's wasting away,
We don't plan for when it goes wrong,
The time that we lose,
We will never find time
This life fading away,
This life ticking like a time bomb
Ready to blow your tortured mind
I know it's wasting away,
We don't plan for when it goes wrong,
The time that we lose,
We will never find time
You ask me the time of day
I tell you I don't know
In darkness I'm light years away
The voices come and go
Save me
All my life I've been a liar
Save me
All my life I've been a liar
Burning bridges in the rain
The crying embryo
I seem so blissfully insane
But still the pain won't go
Save me
All my life I've been a liar
Save me
All my life I've been a liar
Sacred words
The Angels wait for me
They'll set me free
But I can't see, the joke's on me
Babies crying
Other people's tears
And in their eyes
They have reflected wasted years
You ask me who I really am
I still say I don't know
The doors have all been tightly slammed
The poison seeds are sewn
Save me
All my life I've been a liar
Save me
All my life I've been a liar
Dying Angels
Falling from above
I've had enough
I cannot laugh the joke's on me
Shattered dreams you cannot realize
Won't sympathize, it's in your eyes
Why can't you see?
All these tears I cry
Don't you wonder why
Is it all a dream
Never what it seems
Gets under my skin
Should I let you in
Don't you think it's bad
To give me something that I never had
Every word I say
Everytime I pray
Look into my eyes
Distant voices cry
Is there light in me
Tell me what you see
You are what I have
Can't get something that I never had
Can't get something that I never had
Should I think about tomorrow ohh
Should I live for just today
Take the light that burns inside you
Let it burn away
Let it burn away
Let it burn away
Will I see the day
Will I have to pay
What's inside of me
You will never see
Won't you let me in
Don't you let me see
Do you think I'm bad
Cause I want something that I never had
Cause I want something that I never had
Give me something that I never had
Take me through the centuries to supersonic years
Electrifying enemy is drowning in his tears
All I have to give you is a love that never dies
The symptom of the universe is written in your eyes
Yeah!
Mother mooch is calling me back to her silver womb
Father of creation takes me from my stolen tomb
Seventh night the unicorn is waiting in the skies
A symptom of the universe, a love that never dies
Yeah!
Yeah!
Take my hand, my child of love come step inside my tears
Swim the magic ocean I've been crying all these years
When our love will ride away into eternal skies
A symptom of the universe, a love that never dies
Yeah
Yeah!
Oh my child of love's creation, come and step inside my dreams
In your eyes I see no sadness, you are all that loving means
Take my hand and we'll go riding through the sunshine from above
Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long time
Stole many a man's soul and faith
And I was around when jesus christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
I stuck around st. petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank
Held a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
Oh, pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made
I shouted who killed the kennedys?
After all it was you and me
Let me introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I laid traps for the troubadours
Who get killed before they reached bombay
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
Every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners are saints
Heads is tails
Just call me lucifer
I'm in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
What's my name?
What's my name?
What's my name?
I am lucifer
Wooooooo
Alright you mother fucker's
What's my name?
What's my name?
Come on baby, come on baby, come on baby, come on baby,
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzling you
times have changed and times are strange
here I come but I aint the same
mama I'm comin' home
Times go by it seems to be
you could have been a better friend to me
Mama i'm comin' home
You took me in and you drove me out
you had me hypnotized yeah
lost and found and turned around by the fire in your eyes
you made me cry you told me lies
but I can't stand to say goodbye
mama I'm comin' home
I could be right I could be wrong
It hurts so bad it's been so long
mama I'm comin' home
selfish love yeah were both alone
the ride before the fall yeah
but I'm gonna take this heart of stone I just got to have it all
I've seen your face a hundred times
every day we've been apart
I don't care about the sunshine yeah
CHORUS x2: 'cause mama mama I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
you took me in and you drove me out
you had me hypnotized yeah
lost and found and turned around
by the fire in your eyes
I've seen your face a thousand times
every day we've been apart
Soul, soul sucker
Soul, soul sucker
Soul, soul sucker
Soul, soul sucker
Soul, soul sucker
Soul, soul sucker
Your cold words deafen
And silence long forgotten
The logic never reclaimed
The anger rises
Sometimes there's no surrender
No white flag flies
You won't like me when I'm angry
Stop talking to me
Just like I don't even bleed
This cross is heavy
When you're my soul sucker
Get out of my face
The past is running in place
The slivers cut me
As you suck the soul right out of me
Soul sucker
Soul, soul sucker
Soul, soul sucker
You bite down deeper
Your tongue can cut my heart out
You've passed the point of return
The storm lightens
Get ready for the whiplash
Don't think, don't speak, don't
My patience turns to violence
Stop talking to me
Just like I don't even bleed
This cross is heavy
When you're my soul sucker
Get out of my face
The past is running in place
The slivers cut me
As you suck the soul right out of me
Soul sucker
I'm just a solitary man who wants to live
A quiet life before when I cease to exist
I don't need resistance for the things I can't control
Just turn away and let it go, yeah
Soul, soul sucker
Soul, soul sucker
Stop talking to me
Just like I don't even bleed
This cross is heavy
When you're my soul sucker
Get out of my face
The past is running in place
The slivers cut me
As you suck the soul right out of me
Soul sucker
Soul, soul sucker
Time has come to say goodbye
I know it's gonna make you cry
But you belong to another my love
And half a love there just isn't enough
I am so tired
And I just can't wait around for you
I am so tired
And I always thought we'd see it through yeah
I've waited all this time for you
Believed your promises were true
I keep believing that you mean what you say
Be mine tomorrow, now tomorrow's today
I am so tired
And I just can't wait around for you
I am so tired
And I always thought we'd see it through yeah
And I often sit and wonder why
You're not with me tonight
I stayed at home remaining true
While you do what you wanna do
And I often sit and wonder why oh
You're not with me tonight
And I stay at home remaining true
While you do what you wanna do
I am so tired
And I just can't wait around for you
I am so tired
And I always thought we'd see it through yeah
So tired, so tired
So tired, so tired
Voices, A thousand thousand voices
Whispering, the time has passed for choices
Golden days are passing over, Yeah
I can't seem to see you baby
Although my eyes are open wide
But I know I'll see you once more
When I see you, I'll see you on the other side
Yes I'll see you, I'll see you on the other side
Leaving, I hate to see you cry
Grieving, I hate to say goodbye
Dust and ash forever
Though I know we must be parted
As sure as stars are in the sky
I'm gonna see when it comes to glory
And I'll see you, I'll see you on the other side
Yes I'll see you, I'll see you on the other side
Never thought I'd feel like this
Strange to be alone Yeah
But we'll be together
Carved in stone, carved in stone, carved in stone
Hold me, hold me tight I'm falling
Far away, distant voices calling
I'm so cold I need you darling Yeah
I was down but now I'm flying
Straight across the great divide
I know you're crying
You've seen life through distorted eyes
You know you had to learn
The execution of your mind
You really had to turn
The race is run the book is read
The end begins to show
The truth is out, the lies are old
But you don't want to know
Nobody will ever let you know
When you ask the reasons why
They just tell you that you're on your own
Fill your head all full of lies
The people who have crippled you
You want to see them burn
The gates of life have closed on you
And now there's just no return
You're wishing that the hands of doom
Could take your mind away
And you don't care if you don't see again
The light of day
Nobody will ever let you know
When you ask the reasons why
They just tell you that you're on your own
Fill your head all full of lies
Where can you run to
What more can you do
No more tomorrow
Life is killing you
Dreams turn to nightmares
Heaven turns to hell
Burned out confusion
Nothing more to tell
Everything around you
What's it coming to
God knows as your dog knows
Bog blast all of you
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
Nothing more to do
Living just for dying
They couldn't see what I thought would be so obvious
They hide behind the laws they make for all of us
The ministry of truth, that deals with pretense
The ministry of peace, that sits on defense
I'm washing my hands of what they're trying to do
It's for me, It's for me, It's for you, It's for you
I'm just a rock n' roll rebel
I'll tell you no lies
They say I worship the devil
They must be stupid or blind
I'm just a rock n' roll rebel
They live a life of fear and insecurity
And all you do is pay for their prosperity
The ministry of fear, that won't let you live
The ministry of grace, that doesn't forgive
Do what you will to try and make me conform
I'll make you wish that you had never been born
'Cause I'm a rock n' roll rebel
I'll do what I please
Yes I'm a rock n' roll rebel
And I'm as free as the breeze
I'm just a rock n' roll rebel
They'll try playin' with your hearts
They know it rules your head
If they could read between the lines
You know they'd see the real face
God only knows why they couldn't see the obvious
Is it because they manifest the incubus?
The ministry of war, that got caught in the draft
The ministry of joy, that still hasn't laughed
When it's boiled down and the day's at an end
I'll give you no bullshit and I'll never pretend
'Cause I'm a rock n' roll rebel
I'll tell you no lies
They say I worship the devil
Why don't they open their eyes?
I'm just a rock n' roll rebel
A rock n' roll rebel
I was looking back on my life
And all the things have come to me
I'm still looking for the answers
I'm still searching for the key
The wreckage of my past keeps haunting me
It just won't leave me alone
I still find it all a mystery
Could it be a dream?
The road to nowhere leads to me
Through all the happiness and sorrow
I guess I'd do it all again
Live for today and die tomorrow
It's still the road that never ends
The wreckage of my past keeps haunting me
It just won't leave me alone
I still find it all a mystery
Could it be a dream?
The road to nowhere leads to me
Ahhhh, ahhh
The road to nowhere's gonna pass me by
Ahhhh, ahhh
I hope we never have to say goodbye
I never wanna live without you, yeah
The wreckage of my past keeps haunting me
It just won't leave me alone
I still find it all a mystery
Could it be a dream?
Into the night I've gotta go
That's when the juices start to flow
Everything will be alright
I might be blind but I can see
I got the power inside of me
Everything will be alright
I'm never gonna crack under a witch's spell
Never put her chains on me
I'm never gonna break it, no I'll never tell
I know she'll never let me be
Party, party with the animals
Party, no dogs allowed
Party, party with the animals
Party, no dogs allowed, no more
I like it fast, I like it slow
There's no direction I couldn't go
Everything will be alright
I like it loud, I like it mean
I got the thunder in my machine
Everything will be alright
Dancing with disaster is a part of me
I'm never gonna let it go
Don't know what I'm after I'm deserting me
The secret that I'll never know
Party, party with the animals
Party, no dogs allowed
Party, party with the animals
Party, no dogs allowed, no more
No more, no more, yeah, baby, I like it girl
No more, no more, no more, yeah, baby, I like it girl
Party, party with the animals
Party, no dogs allowed
Party, party with the animals
Party, no dogs allowed
Party, party with the animals
Party, no dogs allowed
Party, party with the animals
Looking to the mirror
From the other side
Seeing her reflection
And it blows my mind
Trying to deny it
But damage is done
I'll just run as always
But the race is run
You've got to tell me it's over now
I'm trapped inside of a dream
The crushing weight on my shoulders now
Is bearing down and it seems
There's just no easy way out
No easy way out
Read the daily fiction, Superman is dead
Crushing coins of silver, imitating lead (?)
Then if you will fix the children of the past (?)
I guess their's isn't welcome, doesn't time move fast (?)
You've got to tell me it's over now
I'm trapped inside of a dream
The crushing weight on my shoulders now
Is bearing down and it seems
There's just no easy way out
No easy way out
Night in the shadow of man
This is the dawn of the dead
Don't let it live in your head
And then now as the sabbath begins
It wakes your nightmare again
So run away if you can
So just run
Run as fast as you can
You've got to tell me it's over now
I'm trapped inside of a dream
The crushing weight on my shoulders now
Is bearing down and it seems
There's just no easy way out
Too late too tell me it's over now
Falling apart at the seams
No angel sits on my shoulders now
I hold my head and it screams
There's just no easy way out
People going nowhere, taken for a ride
Looking for the answers that they know inside
Searching for a reason, looking for a rhyme
Snow White's mirror said: partners in crime!
Don't they ever have to worry?
Don't you ever wonder why?
It's a part of me that tells you
Oh, don't you ever, don't ever say die
Never, never, never say die again
Sunday's satisfaction, Monday's home and dry
Truth is on the doorstep, welcome in the lie
All dressed up in sorrow, got no place to go
Hold back, `till it's ready, taking it slow
Don't they ever have to worry?
Don't you ever wonder why?
It's a part of me that tells you
Oh, don't you ever, don't ever say die
Never, never, never say die again
Don't you ever say die
Don't you ever say die
Never say die
Panic, silver lining, writing's on the wall
Children get together, you can save us all
Future's on the corner, throwing us a die
Slow down, turn around, everything's fine
There's no need to have a reason
There's no need to wonder why
It's a part of me that tells you
Oh, don't you ever, don't ever say die
Would you like some sweeties little girl?
Come a little closer
I'm gonna show you a brand new world tonight
I've got a palace full of fantasy
Ready made just for you and me
Once you're there I'm gonna take you for a ride
CHORUS
I've got a one way ticket
To take you to the other side
I got a one way ticket
So come along and don't be shy
They call me Mr. Tinkertrain
That's how I got to get my name
They call me Mr. Tinkertrain
So come along and play my game
You'll never be the same
Close the curtains and turn out the lights
Beneath my wing it's gonna be alright
A little secret just for you and me
I've got the kind of toys you've never seen
Manmade and a bit obscene
Little angel come and sit upon my knee
CHORUS
Mr. Tinkertraain
Never be the same
Mr. Tinkertrain
Can you say Mr. Tinkertrain?
No use crying 'cause you can't go back
Now you're here to stay
You can't run, you can't hide
You can't tell me what I feel inside
Mr. Tinkertrain
That's how I got to get my name
They call me Mr. Tinkertrain
So come along and play my game
That's why they call me Mr. Tinkertrain
Mississippi queen, if you know what I mean
Mississippi queen, she taught me everything
Way down around Vicksburg, around Louisiana way
Where lived the Cajun lady, aboard the Mississippi Queen
You know she was a dancer, she moved better on wine
While the rest of them dudes were gettin' their kicks
Boy, I beg your pardon, I was gettin' mine
Mississippi queen, if you know what I mean
Mississippi queen, she taught me everything
This lady she asked me, if I would be her man
You know that I told her, I'd do what I can
To keep her lookin' pretty, buy her dresses that shine
While the rest of them dudes were makin' their friends
Boy, I beg your pardon, I was losin' mine
I was losin' my mind, on the Mississippi Queen
Mississippi queen, if you know what I mean
Mississippi queen, she taught me everything
Way down around Vicksburg, around Louisiana way
Where lived the Cajun lady, aboard the Mississippi Queen
You know she was a dancer. she moved better on wine
While the rest of them dudes were gettin' their kicks
Boy, I beg your pardon, I was gettin' mine
I was gettin' mine
I was gettin' mine
No, you can't have mine
No no, you can't have mine
When I think of all the good times that I've wasted having good times
When I think of all the good times that 's been wasted having good times
When I was drinking
I should've been thinking
When I was fighting
I could've done the right thing
All of that boozing
I was really losing
Good times
Good times
When I think of all the good time that's been wasted having good times
When I think of all the good time that we wasted having good times
All of my lying
I remember her crying
All of the talking
I could've been walking
Instead of complaining
I could've been gaining
Good times
Useless talking
All that walking
All of my sinning
I could've been winning
I have it too easy
And its a beginning of a good time
Good times
When I was drinking
I should've been thinking
When I was fighting
I could've done the right thing
All of that boozing
When I was really losing
All of my sinning
I could've been winning
Oh yeah, I am ready for a good time
Another day and more bad news
I wonder who died today
I feel so numb I might as well be dead
I live on hope and legal dope
Addicted to the system
Is it real or does it just live within my head
I guess they lied to make me feel afraid
I can’t believe a single word they say
Cry another tear
'Cause the devil will not wait
Living in fear
Why do people love to hate
Love to hate
Desensitized and victimized
The action never stops
Could it be a smokescreen to keep us satisfied
Insecure and paranoid
I’m trying to survive
I can’t tell if I’m hearing truth or lies
I’ll never make it to the Holy Gates
No ones gonna matter, the fire of hell awaits
Cry another tear
'Cause the devil will not wait
Living in fear
Why do people love to hate
Another day and more bad news
I wonder who died today
I can’t tell if I’m hearing truth or lies
I guess they lied to make me feel afraid
I can’t believe a single word they say
Cry another tear
'Cause the devil will not wait
Living in fear
Why do people love to hate
Cry another tear
'Cause the devil will not wait
Living in fear
Why do people love to hate
Won't you listen? 'Cos I'm at it again
Lightning striking and on that you can depend
They say that lightning never strikes the same place twice
Gods of thunder sit and watch the event
You know I take no prisoners, my back's to the wall
You know I must be going when destiny calls
Until I feel that thunder shattering my brain
I won't stop, rockin' all night, rockin' all night
Until the lightning strikes again
Rockin' all night, rockin' all night
Until the lightning strikes again
Tell your mama that you're gonna be late
But not to worry, we'll just be rockin' all night
The lightning strikes before you hear the thunder roar
We're becoming the children of the night
I'm not apologizing, I am what I am
There is no compromising, I don't give a damn
Until I feel the thunder boiling in my veins
I won't stop, rockin' all night, rockin' all night
Until the lightning strikes again
Rockin' all night, rockin' all night
Until the lightning strikes again
Oh no, I've lost control
Here we go, it's only rock 'n' roll, oh yeah baby
The silver light is flashing as all turns to gold
In my head voices screaming and I'm being told
If you will only listen you will hear them too
I won't stop, rockin' all night, rockin' all night
Until the lightning strikes again
Rockin' all night, rockin' all night
Until the lightning strikes again
You gotta rock it all night, rock it all night
Until the lightning strikes again
You gotta rock it all night, rock it all night
Let me hear you scream
I'm black and bruised, beat up but still I take their blows
'Cause all I need is blood and sweat and skin and bones
I'll take this rage, rattle your cage, nobody said it's easy
It's do or die, only the strong survive
Get ready for the last stand
Get ready, I'm your hangman
Let me hear you scream like you want it
Let me hear you yell like you mean it
If you're gonna go down, go loud, go strong
Go proud, go on, go hard or go home
Let me hear you, let me hear you
Let me hear you, let me hear you
Let me hear you scream
I'll pull you up then push you right back in your place
I'll take you down and wipe that smile right off your face
I'll watch you break, you're mine to take
Don't blink, you just might miss it
It's all or nothing, nowhere left to run
Are you ready for the last fight?
Get ready with the war cry
Let me hear you scream like you want it
Let me hear you yell like you mean it
If you're gonna go down, go loud, go strong
Go proud, go on, go hard or go home
Let me hear you, let me hear you
Let me hear you, let me hear you
Let me hear you scream
Let me hear you scream like you want it
Let me hear you yell like you mean it
If you're gonna go down, go loud, go strong
Go proud, go on, go hard or go home
Let me hear you scream like you want it
Let me hear you yell like you mean it
If you're gonna go down, go loud, go strong
Go proud, go on, go hard or go home
Let me hear you, let me hear you
Let me hear you, let me hear you
I know you think you're all alone
I haven't been there when you've needed me
I didn't deserve the love you gave
But now I'm telling you I'm here if you need a friend
Give me your pain
Give me your anger
Let me be your rock
I can be the pillar of strength that you need
I'll help you keep it all together
It's better late than never
Lay your world on me
I can take the weight
Don't let it twist you up inside
Time never fails to make the heartache stop
You've got to let those feelings go
I'll give you everything I can if you say the word
Give me your pain
Give me your anger
Let me be your rock
I can be the pillar of strength that you need
I'll help you keep it all together
It's better late than never
Lay your world on me
I can take the weight
We all laugh and we all cry
We all hurt the same inside
We all fall down and we lose faith in who we really are
But if we bend instead of break
The choice for us is to make it together
Lay your world on me
I'll help you keep it all together
It's better late than never
Lay your world on me
Lay your world on me
Lay your world on me
You're coming down badly, you're crippled inside
A rat in your sewer, you've no place to hide
A gut wrenching fever, addicted to death
You don't give a fuck if it means your last breath
You try so hard to quit but you'll never admit
You're the junkie
There's no reasoning why 'cause the mirror don't lie
You're the junkie
You crave for the needle to stick in your vein
Can't wait for the poison to kill all the pain
You buy your cheap ticket to take a short ride
That beautiful flower is eating your mind
You try so hard to quit but you'll never admit
You're the junkie
There's no reasoning why 'cause the mirror don't lie
You're the junkie
Your name means nothing
You don't know the score
Body is aching, you still crave for more
Sometimes, you wish that you'd never been born
Tormenting came with a crown full of thorns
You're chasing the dragon, you're chasing the high
A bird with one wing who's still trying to fly
You're all out of spirit, a dead man alive
A born again junkie, you'll never survive
You try so hard to quit but you'll never admit
You're the junkie
There's no reasoning why 'cause the mirror don't lie
You're the junkie
Junkie
Junkie
Junkie
A Monday morning earthquake
Another weak tooth, backache
Keep him alive for god's sake
Higher, liar when the will is the vice
I broke a mirror in his dolls house
An all night soldier of love
He swallowed down another fantasy pill
To give himself a push and a shove.
(Chorus)
Tonight's the night he's gonna jump the moon
I hope he'll never crash and burn too soon.
He's just lit another live wire
It's just the bread we borrow
Here today like it'll be gone tomorrow
Another daylight foreigner
He's just a weekend warrior
Come on he plays life anymore
Love for pound and turned around
He only listens to the voice in his head
Than separate the truth from the lies
A wounded creature that just won't slow down
You can tell by the look in his eyes
(Chorus)
He's flying high with his silver spoon
He's really gonna try and jump for jump yeah
Jump the moon
(Chorus)
Tonight's the night he's gonna jump the moon
He's just lit another live wire
It's just the bread we borrow
Life is not eternal,
It's sane and then a freak show,
It's all we have until it's all gone (all gone)
A split second can last forever,
No fortune can make it better,
One heartbeat just until the last one (last one)
Rung by rung on the ladder (ladder),
Don't slow down, only faster,
Knock yourself out; doesn't matter,
Anything to get what you want
How much can you get now?
What's the cost?
Tell me, was it everything you wanted,
Everything you wanted?
How much is enough now?
What was lost?
Tell me, was it everything you wanted?
Everything you want, I want it more
I want it more
Our destiny connected,
Invited, unexpected,
Life isn't fair, but still it goes on (goes on)
We all live and we all die,
Say hello then say goodbye,
The sun will set until the next dawn (next dawn)
Inch by inch over old bones,
Shaking hands with the dead souls,
You make your deal and the weight grows,
Anything to get what you want
How much can you get now?
What's the cost?
Tell me, was it everything you wanted,
Everything you wanted?
How much is enough now?
What was lost?
Tell me, was it everything you wanted?
Everything you want, I want it more
Rung by rung on the ladder (ladder),
Don't slow down, only faster,
Knock yourself out; doesn't matter,
Anything to get what you want
How much can you get now?
What's the cost?
Tell me, was it everything you wanted,
Everything you wanted?
How much is enough now?
What was lost?
Tell me, was it everything you wanted?
You think you're special
You think you're cool
You're so invincible
You're nobody's fool
Dead man walking
Your ego's high
No matter who you are
We're all gonna die
Your time is coming
Your soul is burning
Your future's fading
I Can't Save You
Your demon's waking
Your will is breaking
Your body's shaking
I Can't Save You now, now, now, now...
(You’ve got to save yourself)
I can’t save you now, now, now, now…
(You’ve got to save yourself)
I can’t save you now, now, now, now…
The years are passing
The time goes fast
You’re in denial
With your head up your ass
Can’t take it with you
Leave it behind
So many ways to live
There’s one way to die
Your god is calling
Your tears are falling
You’re head’s exploding
I can’t save you
No use in trying
You can’t stop crying
You feel like dying
I can’t save you now, now, now, now…
(You’ve got to save yourself)
I can’t save you now, now, now, now…
(You’ve got to save yourself)
I can’t save you
Tempted by your twisted mind
You destroyed your self-control
For fame and fortune you gave it all
No one said you had to sell your soul
Your time is coming
Your soul is burning
Your future's fading
I can't save you
Your demon's waking
Your will is breaking
Your body's shaking
I can't save you
Your god is calling
Your tears are falling
Your head’s exploding
I can’t save you
No use in trying
You can’t stop crying
You feel like dying
I'm living on an endless road
Around the world for rock and roll
Sometimes it feels so tough
But I still ain't had enough
I keep saying that it's getting too much
But I know I'm a liar
Feeling all right in the noise and the light
But that's what lights my fire
Hellraiser, in the thunder and heat
Hellraiser, rock you back in your seat
Hellraiser, and I'll make it come true
Hellraiser, I'll put a spell on you
Walking out on another stage
Another town, another place
Sometimes I don't feel right
Nerves wound up too damn tight
People keep telling me it's bad for my health
But kicking back don't make it
Out of control, I play the ultimate role
But that's what lights my fire
Hellraiser, in the thunder and heat
Hellraiser, rock you back in your seat
Hellraiser, and I'll make it come true
Hellraiser, I'll put a spell on you
I'm living on an endless road
Around the world for rock and roll
Sometimes it feels so tough
But I still ain't had enough
Feeling all right in the noise and the light
But that's what lights my fire
Hellraiser, in the thunder and heat
Hellraiser, rock you back in your seat
Hellraiser, and I'll make it come true
Send "Goodbye to Romance" Ringtone to your Cell
Yeasterday has been and gone
Tomorrow will I find the sun or will it rain
Everybody's having fun except me I'm the lonely one
I live in shame
Chorus:
I said goodbye to romance
Goodbye to friends
Goodbye to all the past
I guess we'll meet, we'll meet in the end
I've been the king, I've been the clown
Still broken wings can't hold me down
I'm free again
The jester with a broken crown
It won't be me this time around to love in vain
Chorus...
And I feel the time is rightalthough I know
That you just might say to me
What ya gonna do
What ya gonna do
'Cause I have to take this chance
Goodbye to friends and true romance
And to all of you
And to all of you
Solo
Chorus...
And the weather's lookin fine and I think the sun willshine again
And I feel I've cleared my mind all the past is left behind again
There is a person living in my head
she comes to visit every night in bed
I fight the demon, but it just won't fall
They voices in my dungeon starting to call
The spiders dancing on the wall
Suicide of love we could have had it all
And it is you,
You are the ghost behind my eyes
I can't see through you,
You are the ghost behind my eyes
The ghost that tells me lies
The princess of the dark has made my mind home
My haunted head and her won't leave me along
She dances on my heart with fire in my soul
I hate that feeling when I'm losing control
The spiders dancing on the wall
Suicide of love we could have had it all
And it is you,
You are the ghost behind my eyes
I can't see through you,
You are the ghost behind my eyes
The ghost that tells me lies
I wish to God that I could sleep again,
Oh peace again
And wake up from this nightmare free again
Free again,
Oh me again
There is a woman in my head
She comes to visit every night in bed
The spiders dancing on the wall
Suicide of love we could have had it all
And it is you,
You are the ghost behind my eyes
You, you are the ghost I behind my eyes
You, you are the ghost I behind my eyes
The ghost behind my eyes
Behind my eyes
The ghost behind my eyes
I'm not the kind of person you think I am
I'm not the anti-christ or the iron man
I have a vision that I just can't control
I feel I've lost my spirit and sold my soul
Got no control
I try to entertain you the best I can
I wish I'd started walking before I ran
But I still love the feeling I get from you
I hope you'll never stop cause it gets me through yeah
It gets me through yeah
The feelings that I hide behind
Sometimes reality's unkind
The nightmares stalk for me at night
I dread the long and lonely nights
I'm not the kind of person you think I am
I'm not the anti-christ or the iron man
But I still love the feeling I get from you
I hope you'll never stop cause it gets me through yeah
I'm just trying live yeah
I'm just trying live yeah
I'm just trying live yeah
There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everyone's wrong
People speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
Yeah, stop children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
What a field-day for the heat
Ten thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side
I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line, the man come and take you away
Stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
You better stop!
Stop
You better stop!
Stop
Got a crazy feeling I don't understand
'Gotta get away from here
Feelin' like I shoulda kept my feet on the ground
Waitin' for the sun to appear
Mamma's gonna worry
I been a bad bad boy
No use sayin' sorry
It's something that I enjoy
'Cause you can't see what my eyes see
(I can see it, I can see it)
And you can't be inside of me, flying high again
I can see through the mountains watch me disappear
I can even touch the sky
Swallowing colours of the sound I hear
Am I just a crazy guy. (You bet).
Mamma's gonna worry
I been a bad bad boy
No use sayin' sorry
It's something that I enjoy
If you could be inside my head
You'd see that black and white is red
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again come on and join me.
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again come on and join me.
Daddy thinks I'm lazy he don't understand
Never saw inside my head
People think I'm crazy but I'm in demand
Never heard a thing I said.
Mamma's gonna worry
I been a bad bad boy
No use sayin' sorry
It's something that I enjoy
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again
You make promise of protection
To a future after life
To the final resurrection
And to eternal paradise
But then I'm blinded with temptation
And to every mortal sin
Is it God that sits there waiting?
Or will the darkness suck me in
Let's wake up the dead
Oh yeah
It's better that never you know
More tears are shed
Oh yeah
I'm praying that you'll never know
That I'm facing hell
Oh the children sit and listen
The belief was in their eyes
In a land without tomorrows
Through the night you hear their cries
But then your eyes just skip the pages
Of a book that never ends
Is it God that sits there waiting?
Do you hear the call again?
Let's wake up the dead
Oh yeah
It's better that never you know
More tears are shed
Oh yeah
I'm praying that you'll never know
That I'm facing hell
It's just crazy world we live in
And I'm out of my mind
You pray tomorrow but your leaving today
Evil one is coming and he's knocking your door
Cause todays the day you'll pay
Let's wake up the dead
Oh yeah
It's better that never you know
More tears are shed
Oh yeah
I'm praying that you'll never know
Let's wake up the dead
Oh yeah
It's better that never you know
More tears are shed
Oh yeah
I'm praying that you'll never know
That I'm facing hell
That I'm facing hell
That I'm facing hell
Gazing through the window at the world outside
Wondering will mother earth survive
Hoping that mankind will stop abusing her sometime
After all there's only just the two of us
And here we are still fighting for our lives
Watching all of history repeat itself
Time after time
I'm just a dreamer
I dream my life away
I'm just a dreamer
Who dreams of better days
I watch the sun go down like everyone of us
I'm hoping that the dawn will bring a sign
A better place for those Who will come after us ...
This time
I'm just a dreamer
I dream my life away oh yeah
I'm just a dreamer
Who dreams of better days
Your higher power may be God or Jesus Christ
It doesn't really matter much to me
Without each others help there ain't no hope for us
I'm living in a dream of fantasy
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
If only we could all just find serenity
It would be nice if we could live as one
When will all this anger, hate and biggotry ...
Be gone?
I'm just a dreamer
I dream my life away
Today
I'm just a dreamer
Who dreams of better days
Okay
I'm just a dreamer
Who's searching for the way
Today
I'm just a dreamer
Dreaming my life away
You're saving the saved,
Men and women enslaved,
Propagating the messiah conception
The rich getting richer,
Paint you into the picture,
Give the poor immaculate deception
Where are you Father?
Why don't you save us?
The fallen are dying alone
How can you shut off their cries?
Ignore a new genocide?
So come on, Jesus,
We're all here waiting just for you
How long must we keep on waiting?
The faithful and blind are keepin' me, keepin' me down
How long? 'Cause my faith is breaking,
The pure and divine are diggin' me, diggin' me down
Do you live in the light
Or in the dead of the night?
Sanctimonious promises broken
Hypocritical sin,
Dying slowly within,
Is the sacred truth forever unspoken?
Life ever after,
Bohemian rapture,
Beware the dark side of the Son.
You're just a self-made messiah,
Selling brimstone and fire
So come on, Jesus,
Don't keep us waiting here for you
How long must we keep on waiting?
The faithful and blind are bringin' me, bringin' me down
How long? 'Cause my faith is breaking,
The pure and divine are diggin' me, diggin' me down
[Guitar Solo]
How will I know you, Mr. Jesus Christ?
Have you already been here once or twice?
The son of man are obsolete fade,
How will I know that you're the son of God?
I always knew what I wanted to be
I knew for sure, I knew for sure
Always knew it was them or me
I wanted more, more and more
And it's all right, it's okay
None of them people gonna take it away
They don't know, they don't know
And I can't stop 'cause it drives them crazy
It drives them crazy, 'cause I won't be cool
It's too late baby
It's the same old desire
Nothing has changed, nothing's the same
Burning like fire
Don't you ever take my name in vain, oh yeah
Always moving, somewhere else to be
Moving on, moving on
Scream at you and you scream at me
Right or wrong, right or wrong
It's all right, it's okay
No one's ever gonna take us away
'Cause they don't know like I know
I gotta keep rockin' 'cause it makes me crazy
It makes me crazy, who needs to be cool
Life's amazing
It's the same old desire
Crazy train, crazy train
Burning like fire
Don't you ever take my name in vain
It's the same old desire
Nothing has changed, nothing's the same
Burning like fire
Don't you ever take my name in vain, oh yeah
It's the same old desire
Nothing has changed, nothing's the same
Burning like fire
Don't you ever take my name in vain
Same old desire
Crazy train, crazy train
Burning like fire
Don't you ever take my name in vain
Same old desire
Nothing has changed, nothing's the same
Burning like fire
You are my only daughter, I guess I made you twice
You look inside my other, he'll give you bad advice
I will tell you I'm OK, but deep inside I'm afraid
I don't drink Holy water, I'm not a son of Christ
I ain't no black Messiah, and I don't load my dice
You can tell me you're all right, but why are you so afraid?
You're in denial, you never will believe it's you
Denial, you always hide behind the truth
You'll never believe it, you never believe it's you
I don't think I'm amazing, in fact I'm quite insane
To live inside my bucket, with all my plastic chains
People tell me every time, I look at the wrong all right
You're in denial, you never will believe it's you
Denial, you always hide behind the truth
You'll never believe it, you never believe it's you
You'll never believe it, you never believe it
Secrets told you, dreamland holds you, secrets told you
You wouldn't believe it, you couldn't conceive it
Secrets told you
You wanna receive it, you gotta believe it's you
You're on a trip already, I'm tripping out alright
I'll get there slow and steady, just sit and hold on tight
Denial, you never will believe it's you
Denial, you always hide behind the truth
Denial, you never will believe it's you
Denial, you always hide behind the truth
Yeah, yeah
Behind the truth
Yeah, yeah
It's true
Yeah, yeah
Behind the truth
Yeah, yeah
It's you
Yeah, yeah
Behind the truth
Yeah, yeah
It's gonna be alright, just hold on tight
Give me your money,
I'll sell you my vote,
I promise I'll save you,
While I'm cutting your throat
You want to feel pleasure,
Look into my eyes,
I'm gonna swear on the bible
While I'm feeding you lies
My touch thickens your blood,
I know the things that you love,
My voice swallows the purest heartbeat
I'm your counterfeit friend,
I'll still be here 'til I crucify you,
I crucify you again
Give me your heroes,
Your sinners and saints,
A little temptation
Is all that it takes
I've been here forever,
I'm your oldest friend,
Until I pull on the trigger,
The fun never ends
My touch thickens your blood,
I know the things that you love,
My voice swallows the purest heartbeat
I'm your counterfeit friend,
I'll still be here 'til I crucify you,
I crucify you again
I've been around here for a long, long time,
I'll be around until your soul is mine,
Until your soul is mine
My touch thickens your blood,
I know the things that you love,
My voice swallows the purest heartbeat
I'm your counterfeit friend,
I'll still be here 'til I crucify you,
So sick and tired of living
And so afraid to die
I've lived so many lives
And still I wonder why
The way the world perceives me
Is not the way I am
The one half thinks I'm crazy
The other thinks I'm mad
I spent a long long time alone in my room
I need your help to get me out of this gloom
Can you hear them
All the voices in my head
They freak me out
Can you hear them
They won't be happy 'till I'm dead
They freak me out
Ten thousand million nightmares
Temptation by the score
I used to get so high
And still I wanted more
You think my time is wasted
In search of who I am
I tried to so hard to kill
The boy inside the man
I spent a thousand years one night in my room
I've lived so many lives and that is my doom
Can you hear them
All the voices in my head
They freak me out
Can you hear them
They won't be happy 'till I'm dead
They freak me out
Can you hear them
All the voices in my head
They freak me out
Can you hear them
They won't be happy 'till I'm dead
They freak me out
I never thought I'd smile again
Always thought I'd be here on my own
Sometimes when I'm down
You come and save me again
And again
And again
And again
I'll never understand it
It makes no sense at all
Just look at what I've done
It's time to count the score
I've spent a long long time alone in my room
I need your help to get me out of this gloom
Can you hear them
All the voices in my head
They freak me out
Can you hear them
They won't be happy 'till I'm dead
They freak me out
Can you hear them
All the voices in my head
They freak me out
Can you hear them
They won't be happy 'till I'm dead
Well I know
I could be just another stranger
But to you
I guess I'm just another fool
And you swear
You like to live your life in danger
Then you hide
Behind a wall of silly rules
Nobody thinks the way I do
I guess that nobody dares
Your head's so full of things, so set your mind free of
them
I'm breaking the rules
Did you know
That in the truth, there's nothing stranger
I suppose
You think I think I know it all
Chorus:
Nobody hears the things I say
I guess that nobody cares
My head's so full of things I set my mind free of them
I'm breaking the rules
Breaking all the rules
Can't you see they're nothing without you
Empty heads full of fools
Now you see
Yes, I'm breaking all the rules, breakin' all the rules
Well I know
That you would love to go to heaven
But you know
That you're just too afraid to die
And I know
That you would love to know the answers
But to you
The truth is just another lie
Chorus
Breaking all the rules
Why don't you tell them
Breaking all the rules, a come on, a come on
Breaking all the rules, why don't you get it on,
Breaking all the rules, a come on, a come on
Breaking all the rules, aaaallll right now
You load the dice and paint the smile upon your face
With fingers crossed you switch the perfume with the mace
What kind of dreams to you enjoy inside your bed
I'll face the lies and shake the evil from your head
Black Illusion
Is all I ever see
Black Illusion
I bring you misery
oh yeah
yeah
You always seem to know the answer to it all
You seem to cheat the truth and never take the fall
Your life is hollow and you simply the rules
The time will come when you will join the other fools
Black Illusion
Is all I ever see
Black Illusion
I bring you misery
oh yeah
yeah
I load the dice and fake a smile upon my face
With fingers crossed I switch the perfume with the mace
What kind of dreams do I enjoy inside my bed
You'll face the lies and shake the evil from my head
Black Illusion
Is all I ever see
Black Illusion
I bring you misery
oh yeah
Watching the time go and feeling belief grow
Rise above the obstacles
People beseech me but they'll never teach me
Things that I already know (I know)
Dreams that have shattered may not have mattered
Take another point of view
Doubts will arise though like chasing a rainbow
I can tell a thing or two (That's true)
You've got to believe in yourself or no one
Will believe in you
Imagination like a bird on the wing
Flying, free for you to use (O.K. baby)
I can't believe they stop and stare
And point their fingers doubting me
Their disbelief suppresses them
But they're not blind it's just that they won't see
I'm a believer, I ain't no deceiver
Mountains move before my eyes
Destiny planned out I don't need no handout
A child of a broken mind
The fear that I hide behind
I hate rejection
It's the worst
It gravely hurts me
Living inside my head
I feel like the living dead
I need your affection
It's the best
It greatly helps me
With my back against the wall
Trying so hard not to fall
I'm so tired of sleeping around
Hopeless, in despair
Don't know if I'm here or there
Feeling like I'm up and I'm down
But I'm still alive
I don't have any plans to go anywhere
You know I'm alive
I know I'm crazy but I still like it here
But I'm still alive
I don't have any plans to go anywhere
I don't want to die
A head full of tragic schemes
what keeps me alive is dreams
I dream that someday
I'll find the key that sets my mind free
You may think I've lost control
The man with the broken soul
I'm not here to try and make excuses
Just believe me
With my back against the wall
Trying so hard not to fall
I'm so tired of sleeping around
Hopeless, in despair
Don't know if I'm here or there
Feeling like I'm up and I'm down
But I'm still alive
I don't have any plans to go anywhere
You know I'm alive
I know I'm crazy but I still like it here
I don't have any plans to go anywhere
I don't want to die
yeah
But I'm still alive
I don't have any plans to go anywhere
You know I'm alive
I know I'm crazy but I still like it here
But I'm still alive
I don't have any plans to go anywhere
You know I'm alive
I know I'm crazy but I still like it here
But I'm still alive
I don't have any plans to go anywhere
You know I'm alive
I know I'm crazy but I still like it here
But I'm still alive
I don't have any plans to go anywhere
You know I'm alive
I know I'm crazy but I still like it here
I don't want to die
You know I'm alive
Tell me what do I do about it?
When you break down and cry
I try to give you all my love and affection
Please believe me I tried
Oh Aimee, I know I've been unkind
I guess I wasn't much of a friend
Oh Aimee, let's leave it all behind
'Cause I'm gonna love you, I'm gonna love you
I'm gonna love you 'til the end
Aimee, there is so much you gave me
So much to live for
When I'm feeling down you just turning around
And the pain isn't there anymore
Oh Aimee, I know I've been unkind
I guess I wasn't much of a friend, oh yeah
Aimee, let's leave it all behind
'Cause I'll always love you, I'll always love you
I'll always love you 'til the end
(Angel in the night)
Gonna be my angel in the night
(Angel in the night)
Gonna be my angel in the night
(Angel in the night)
Gonna be my angel in the night
(Aimee)
Don't ever tell me lies
'Cause I'll always be your friend
And I'm gonna love you, I'm gonna love you
I'm gonna love you 'til end
So tell me what do I do about it?
When you break down and cry
And I try to give you all my love and affection
Please believe me I tried
Oh Aimee, I know I've been unkind
I know I wasn't much of a friend, oh yeah
Aimee, let's leave it all behind
'Cause I'm gonna love you, I'm gonna love you
I'm gonna love you 'til the end
(Angel in the night)
Gonna be my angel in the night
(Angel in the night)
Gonna be my angel in the night
(Angel in the night)
Gonna be my angel in the night
(Aimee)
I get up and I get down
I don't know how to take it
All the pain makes me scream and shout
I wonder if I'll make it
I love the feeling when the magic is just right
There's no revealing what is hidden in the night
Riding on a train I can't control
No one else to blame I can't let go
In the darkness I can feel
The things tht makes me crazy
Hands of madness cold as steel
I find it quite amazing
Never forsaking what a dreamer needs to know
Rules meant for breaking and the seeds I have to sow
CHORUS
Riding on a train that I can't control
No one else to blame but I can't let go
It's calling me, it's calling me
It's calling me, it's calling me
I'm riding on a train that I can't control
See no evil, fear no fright
Never lose the feeling
Keep the targets in your sight
Know the cards you're dealing
Never forsaking what a dreamer needs to know
Rules meant for breaking and I gotta let, I gotta let go
