Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, also known as MGM & Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc., is an American media company, involved primarily in the production and distribution of films and television programs. Once simply the largest and most glamorous of the film studios, MGM was founded in 1924 when the entertainment entrepreneur Marcus Loew gained control of Metro Pictures, Goldwyn Pictures Corporation and Louis B. Mayer Pictures. Its headquarters are in Beverly Hills, California.
On November 3, 2010, MGM filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. MGM emerged from bankruptcy on December 20, 2010, at which time the executives of Spyglass Entertainment, Gary Barber and Roger Birnbaum, became co-Chairs and co-CEOs of the holding company of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
The studio's official motto, "Ars Gratia Artis", is a Latin phrase meaning "Art for art's sake"; it was chosen by Howard Dietz, the studio's chief publicist. The studio's logo is a roaring lion surrounded by a ring of film inscribed with the studio's motto. The logo, which features Leo the Lion, was created by Dietz in 1916 for Goldwyn Pictures and updated in 1924 for MGM's use. Dietz based the logo on his alma mater's mascot—the Columbia University lion. Loew regarded its use for the consolidated studio as particularly appropriate, since "Löwe" is German for "lion". Originally silent, the sound of Leo the Lion's roar was added to films for the first time in August 1928. In the 1930s and 1940s the studio billed itself as having "more stars than there are in heaven", a reference to the large number of A-list movie stars under contract to the company. This second motto was also coined by Deitz, and was probably first used in 1932.

Make me love or fall apart
Come on make me
Talk to me tell me now tell me true
Tell me what you wanna do
Are we gonna go on one by one or do we go two by two
(chorus)
I need a place to lay my head
And take your wine onto my tongue
Pick me up and shake me shake me down
I need your heart to hear my song
Hold me now ~ see by me
Or let me go ~ open up your hand and set me free
Like a dandelion ~ like a hitcher on the wind
Set me free again set me free again
Set me free free free again
(chorus)
Make me fly ~ make me fall
Make me everything or make me nothing at all
I am hanging on your heart
Make me love or fall apart
I did it all for the money Lord
It's what it seems
But in the world of night terrors-it's
Hard to dream
They hollering cash rules everything
Let's call it cream
Cause when it rises to the top you get...
The finer things
Ocean fronts, rolling blunts
With model chick and saying grace over lobster and steak
Like please forgive us for riding Benzes with camera plates
Too busy looking backwards for jackers to pump my brakes
For help sign to symbolize the live that hunger takes
Addicted to the green if I don't ball I get the shakes
I'd give it all for a peace of mind for heaven sakes
My heart so heavy that the ropes that hold my casket break
Cause everything that wasn't for me I had to chase
I had to take
[Chorus:]
They told me that the ends would justify the means
They told me at the end, it would justify the dreams
That I've had since a child, maybe I'll throw in the towel
And make my, make my, make my, make my
Departure from the world
Tryna control the fits of panic
Unwritten and unraveled
It's the dead man's pedantic
Whatever...
See it's really just a matter of semantics
When everybody's fresh out of collateral to damage and...
My splayin got me prayin like a mantis
I begin to vanish feel the pull of the blank canvas
I'm contemplating that special dedication
To whoever it concern... My letter of resignation
Fading back to black... my dark coronation
The heat of the day... the long robe of Muerte
That soul is in the atmosphere like airplay
If there's a heaven I can't find the stairway
[Chorus]
Wake up, Maggie, I think I got something to say to you.
It's late September, and I really should be back at
school.
I know I keep you amused, but I feel I'm being used.
Oh Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more.
You led me away from home just to save you from being
alone.
You stole my heart, and that's what really hurts.
The morning sun when it's in your face really shows
your age,
But that don't worry me none. In my eyes you're
everything.
I laughed at all of your jokes; my love, you didn't
need to coax.
Oh Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more.
You led me away from home, just to save you from being
alone.
You stole my soul, and that's a pain I can do without.
All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand.
But you turned into a lover, and
mother, what a lover! you wore me out!
All you did was wreck my bed
and in the morning kick me in the head.
Oh Maggie, I couldn't have tried anymore.
You led me away from home 'cause you didn't want to be
alone
You stole my heart. I couldn't leave you if I tried.
I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to
school,
Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of
playing pool,
Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a
helpin' hand.
Oh Maggie, I wish I'd never seen your face.
You made a first-class fool out of me,
But I'm as blind as a fool can be.
You stole my heart, but I love you anyway.
Maggie, I wish I'd never seen your face.
I aint goin nowhere, Ima be here til 2030 ya'll can bet that..

You know what it is.. ayo Fresh come on man , it's how we do it.. let's resurrect the hood ya heard?
The coke game is a regular, the stacks uneven
Pimp game's still cellular, but rap I'm eatin'
Used to pitch packs in streets
Took it to the next level hard face watch made by Patti Philipe
Jars of dro the chalk just added to beef
Bars stay hot with raps thats grabbin the beats
Double nickle deep down in the bucket seats
Yatch match the Rolli, where my fuckin freaks?
Flow fast and gawdy with chinchilla minx
Hoes trash they ? and cant barely ?
Ma we can take it to another life level
Somethin like whole diamond round ya ice bezel
I heard a few niggas hatin on your nice fellow

Now a dime later haters try n box me in
But like Iverson i skip hop to the rim back spin whip wop fake cock it again
It's understood I'm the hood Hitchcock with a grin
Came in the spot wit 6 bad brawds, lift Jag doors
Never too gawdy but my wrist wrapped raw
Flip packs of raw, slick black valor
Reacquainted with rap now we rip half of these tours
Pull up at the summer league games Ashton Mar's
Hopped out the whip prada shit straps and all
The crack game is back so its fresh to ball
330 hard top cherry red bar watch
I handle pop niggas CL split top
so listen up to whos runnin the game
You know its Fresh 50 bricks plus the shit on my chain
Polo mitts so sick they just stick in you're brain
And you could see Fresh livin good enjoyin my health
Now we runnin in the bars and we buyin the shelfs
M5 burn rubber we denyin the belts
Big bottles of that Don and we dyin for help
Niggas, shit back up when the Ashton dash up
So I see you' ve got a problem
Do you wanna take it outside
I' m not the fighting type
But go ahead make my day
You gonna fight me physically
I' m gonna fight you spiritually
I' m gonna fight you truthfully
If I tell the truth boy
You hate me for it
And if I tell you lies
You call me a good man
I' ve got news for you boy
Let me tell you this
Listen to me
Chorus:
This is my game
I' m gonna play it my way
You call yourself
The voice of the voiceless
But the only time you use your voice
Is when you criticise
What other people have done
We read in the Bible and
Understand what it says
They shall not judge yeah
But why do you do it Rasta
Call me a fake
Call me anything you wanna
Call me boy
But what I do is - Jah work
This is the people' s work boy
You want me to say
All the things that you believe in
I' m not your puppet
I' m not your puppet listen to me
I' ve got news for you
Music & Lyrics: John Popper
When you roll down your window
And ask for directions
Can you count on the answers
That you would receive
If you've ever been taken
By that passed along pay back
Why ask in the first place you might not believe
But I won't be confined to road maps
Or let assholes decide
And I'd rather be lost
Then afraid to take a ride
And if it's a sing
No place on earth will I ever fit in
And I don't mind
Someday I pray I just may
As I make my way
Well I might have been helpful
Or a mischievous bastard
But when I'm thinking about it
I do what I can
In the infinite halfway
Where everyone always meets me
And by the laws of pure error
Do we exchange and understand
I'm yelling as loudly
As my lungs will allow
I wish I could whisper
Can you hear me now
And if it's a sing
No place on earth will I ever fit in
And I don't mind
Someday I pray I just may
As I make my way
Could be no one has the meaning
Of what anybody says
But so we don't feel so lonely
We decide that we do
Well now we might be speaking English
But what does that mean
And can you honestly tell me
What color is blue
Well you could try an explanation
Or try to wonder why
But if I'm lost in your driveway
All I really can do is try
And if it's a sing
No place on earth will I ever fit in
And I don't mind
I've looked and searched her over countless times
And I'll do it again
Someday I may finally want to stay
Someday I pray I just may
As I make my way
As I make my way
As I make my way...
Here comes that boat floating down the river
The south bound channel on the west side
It looks like the captain's pulling over
And I'm bound to take a ride
Take a ride
Well down at the dock I paid my fare
I paid only one way not two
I don't know where but I'll get there
And on my way I'll sing this tune
And when the night falls down on the southern city
And there's nothing left to do but play
Well opportunity is beckoning to me
And I'll make my way back home some day
Don't you know my daddy was a real hard worker
For us he did all he could do
Worked all day for the white collar man
So he could send us off to school
But I feel just like cryin
Because I didn't play by all his rules
Well opportunity is beckoning to me
And I'll make my way back home some day
Here comes that boat floating down the river
The south bound channel on the west side
It looks like the captain's pulling over
And I'm bound to take a ride
Take a ride
And when the night falls down on the southern city
And there's nothing left to do but play
Well opportunity is beckoning to me
And I'll make my way back home some day

(Really long Guitar Improv Bit)
I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school.
Or steal my daddy's cue - make a living out of playing pool.
Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helpin' hand.
Oh Maggie I wished I'd never seen your face.
You made a first class fool out of me
But I'm as blind as a fool can be
You stole my heart, but I love you anyway.
(guitar bit again, this time with mandolins too!)
Maggie I wished I'd never seen your face
I'll get on back home one of these days
The noise pumping through your insides
Makes you wanna scream in pain
Visions get incomprehensible
You loose the touch with your brain
As the blood runs thick and warm
You're melting down inside
The music's hammering never ends
Realization si denied
You can't run you can't hide
Not this time
You're trapped in my game
Filled with pain
I'm to blame
Now I've got you on your knees in front of me
You're so little you never were shit and you'll never be
You can't run you can't hide
Not this time
You're trapped in my game
Filled with pain
I'm to blame
You're mine until the music stops
Your temperature raises your body drops
And now you'll never forget me
Now I've got you on your knees in front of me
You got my strength
You send my self
You are the reason
When I prevail
You are my song
You are my seen
You are the You
Who isn't me
Bridge:
(Ohh You Make Me)2
You are my stage
I stand upon
You are my fortress
Where I belong
When all I am
Is not enough
I'm incomplete
Without your touch
Bridge
Broken is come fold me down
I'm left standing
My eyes and ears are open wide
My cup of denial which I sip
Runneth over me
And I am nothing to no one
Love you can't have it
Roll another habit
Your life's gone static
Roll another habit
Such a fucking addict
Roll another habit you roll
Another habit
All your golden schemes
All your broken dreams
All those wasted words that
No one hears
I'm still waiting
For a light from above to come
Burning down on me
I am hungry for all information
Yet I'm nothing to no one to
Everybody
Love you can't have it
Roll another habit
Your life's gone static
Roll another habit
Such a fucking addict
Roll another habit you roll
Another habit
All your golden schemes
All your broken dreams
All those wasted words that
No one hears
I'm here holding
This great bag of guilt and
My hands are tired
A confusion in my brain and
A hole in my soul
I have nothing in my pocket
Yet I'm bearing the toll
Love you can't have it
Roll another habit
Your life's gone static
Roll another habit
Such a fucking addict
Roll another habit you roll
Another habit
Oh your wasted soul
Oh your wasted soul
I wanted to remember my mica
You helped me again to think of the unthinkable things.
Made my arms hurt so bad I would happily forget.
You're surprised at what you go through.
As if no one ever told you.
(On your own feet, your own feet stand.
Not to wallow in heart ache).
I've done more than I would like to.
But it's not all that I can do.
(You gotta get out of bed, into it).
When even your bad luck runs out,
not to wallow in self-pitying pathetic dreams.
You know what I mean.
She worked hard to be his novice and then broke into his office.
(With her clothes off, her clothes off still.
Not to wallow in heart ache)
Amor, settle for a small dart if you can't find it in your heart.
But there's a big noise from her chest.
Let me do the talking, now that I'm here.
You'll steal all the attention anyway.
'cause something about you compels me to feel
that a glued together vase is still a vase.
I construct a mechanical smile
And face the solid wall, with pride
Loosing, falling, tears in our eyes
Swirling like diordered flies
Ceased and torn
Ravaged and forlorn
Ten times the horror
A thousand times the scorn
Pleaasures of the flesh
Are left behind the door
We rise in deadly lust
Maggie May Maggie May
I thought about you on Saturday
Had more life to live but you passed away
She was beautiful but she lost her way
Maggie May Maggie May
I thought about you on Saturday
Once was alive but she passed away
The pulsation of my blood
The pressure splits my skin
Magma floats
Burns feeble flesh into ashes
Sulphurous screams in my head
In a petrified soul
You look so confident the way you work the room
Like you're heaven sent, everybody checking you
Something about it, baby, keeping me amused
Hate to admit it but I kind of like your attitude
Things that you do and the things that you say
Gotta be for real if you want me to stay
Think that I'll jump if you want me to play
Well, you gotta do better than that
Make me give you everything I've got
A reason to let you in my private thoughts
Take me to a higher place where I've never been
The way that no one else can make me
I see the wheels are turning, you've always been the best
You think you're the first, you better second guess
Before we get to that you gotta go like this
Show me I'm on top of your most wanted list
Things that you do and the things that you say
Gotta be for real if you want me to stay
Think that I'll jump if you want me to play
Well, you gotta do better than that
Make me give you everything I've got
A reason to let you in my private thoughts
Take me to a higher place where I've never been
The way that no one else can make me
Make me give you everything I've got
A reason to let you in my private thoughts
Take me to a higher place where I've never been
The way that no one else can make me
No easy come, no easy go
The way to my heart is through my soul
I'm giving you this simple fact
Think that I'll jump if you want me to play
Well, you gotta do better than that
Make me give you everything I've got
A reason to let you in my private thoughts
Take me to a higher place where I've never been
The way that no one else can make me
Make me give you everything I've got
A reason to let you in my private thoughts
Take me to a higher place where I've never been
The way that no one else can make me
Make me give you everything I've got
A reason to let you in my private thoughts
Take me to a higher place where I've never been
The way that no one else can make me
Make me give you everything I've got
A reason to let you in my private thoughts
Rainbows, I can't find them
Past the raindrops where the light bends
Where the stories tell of people
Finding beauty where the dark's hold lets go
If you want to smile with me
Hold me close and lie with me
If you want to die with me
Handle my heart carefully
Make me believe you
I've been searching dreary weather
For a cloud that's line in silver
But the rain keeps on falling
And my love, I am calling for you
If you want to smile with me
Hold me close and lie with me
If you want to die with me
Handle my heart carefully
Make me believe you
You can't change the hurt you've done
Please don't let us come undone
Make me forget
Make me forgive
Make me believe you
If you want to smile with me
Hold me close and lie with me
If you want to die with me
Handle my heart carefully
Make me believe you
I always get so jumbled
When my humanness takes hold
It's so hard to remember
Just to let go
God, You gave me wisdom
But I've used it sparingly
And like a fool I fall
My pride keeps tripping me
Tomorrow seldom changes
The way my mind revolts
All the inspirations
Seem to sit unpeeled
Waiting for their moment
To shine beneath the sun
Waiting for a day
That hasn't yet begun
Make me holy
Make me pure
Make me clean
Make me Yours
Make me humble
Make me see
All that You've
Made me to be
Oh, Father, make me
My mind becomes entangled
Beneath a web of doubt
Questioning the question
Of what I am about
Slow to make decisions
Slower yet to change
Stuck under a blanket
You look so confident
The way you work the room
Like you're heaven sent
Everybody checking you
Something about it baby
Keepin' me amused
Hate to admit it but I
Kind of like your attitude
Things that you do and the things that you say
Gotta be for real if you want me to stay
Think that I'll jump if you want me to play
Well, you gotta do better than that
Make me
Give you everything I've got
A reason to let you in my private thoughts
Take me
To a higher place where I've never been
The way that no one else can
Make me
I see the wheels are turning
You've always been the best
You think you're the first
You better second guess
Before we get to that
You gotta go like this
Show me I'm on top of
Your most wanted list
Things that you do and the things that you say
Gotta be for real if you want me to stay
Think that I'll jump if you want me to play
Well, you gotta do better than that
Make me
Give you everything I've got
A reason to let you in my private thoughts
Take me
To a higher place where I've never been
The way that no one else can
Make me
No easy come
No easy go
The way to my heart is through my soul
I'm giving you
The simple fact
Think that I'll jump if you want me to play
Well, you gotta do better than that
Make me
Give you everything I've got
A reason to let you in my private thoughts
Take me
To a higher place where I've never been
The way that no one else can
Make me
Una solucion
una solucion,
una solucion
que cure, lo que me envenena
y es mi condena
es mi condena
Otro corazon
otro corazon
otro corazon
que a mi me quite las cadenas
de tus polleras
de tus polleras
Y me pierdo cada vez que me miras
me desespera
(Estribillo)
Me quema, me atrapa
me desarman tus ojos de gata
me quema, me atrapa
esos besos que ya te robe me matan
Alguna cancion
alguna cancion
alguna cancion
que cure todas las heridas
de tus caricias
de tus caricias
Otro corazon
otro corazon
otro corazon
que me quite las cadenas
de tus polleras
de tus polleras
(Estribillo)
Si me dejas cada vez que me abrazas,
me desespera...
Stuborness
I learned from the best
As did you
From his father too
No more tradition
Under this condition
Not while im in line
This trait wont be mine,
No more for sure
Im breakin this chain
Aint no shame in my game
Everything seems fine to me
Got no reason to complain
Aint no shame in my game
Fallin in love
That depends
First time i was there
I couldnt make ends meet
Its a two way street
Thought i found defeat
But victory came to me
Threw water on the fire
And sparked a new flame
Aint no shame in my game
Dissin on myself
What no that's unheard of
All i need now is nothing
But your love
Nothing but the best
The best without greed
Simplicity in numbers
Your all i need
Support from the fans
And my girls who's
Bringin me no pain
I don't wanna change
I wanna know
I wanna do
I don't wanna wait
I wanna know
I wanna see
'Cuz there's no way I'll stay
No way I'd pray on my knees
Ooh, Baby please
No way I'd be fading
And loosing my game
And loosing my game
I don't wanna change
It's a picture of me: I'm insane but I'm happy
I don't wanna wait
This is where I wanna be - Call me vain, call me crazy
(x2)
I don't wanna change
I don't wanna wait (x2)
I don't wanna change
I wanna see (x2)
There's no way I'll stay
No way I'll stay
It's a picture of me: I'm insane but I'm happy
This is where I wanna be - Call me vain, call me crazy
Call me crazy
I don't wanna change
It's a picture of me: I'm insane but I'm happy
I don't wanna wait
This is where I wanna be - Call me vain, call me crazy
I don't wanna change
Call me crazy, crazy
I don't wanna wait
Call me crazy, crazy
Make me guess what your thinking
Make it hard for me to figure you out
The rush of love and you together
Are making me fall so quickly
So don't forget me.
Will you fall asleep in my arms tonight?
Who's gonna make me leave?
Who's gonna make me stay?
Who's gonna walk away?
And.. who's gonna make my day?
And how is gonna be?
And who's in the game to play?
If you want you will find me
But you don't wanna see...
How does it feel?
What do you know?
Is it the end?
I will tell you what it is..
How does it start?
Isn't it clear?
That I'll never be allright..
How do you know?
What does it mean?
That I'll never be alone..
That I'll never be alone.. wow oh oh oh..
You want to pressure me
You want to make me crazy!
You wanna rescue me
I thing that's pretty funny..
But you don't wanna see..
How does it feel?
What do you know?

This is my own game
and my will is to decay
this is my own life
and I end it my own way
what I see here
means nothing to me
you gotta see clear
that treadin' on me
means I'll tread on thee
means I'll tread on thee
on thee
deny myself
and my existence
compel my soul
there's no resistance
what I am told
means shit to me
a freak so bold
that's fuckin' with me
means I'll tread on thee
means I'll tread on thee
on thee
my heart my soul
in your hands
my life my game
as you demand
this is all I can give
you oughtta know
the new morality
O quê se espera de uma nação
que o herói é a televisão?
Que passa todos os seus meses mal,
Melhora tudo no Natal!
Até presente dá pra dar
Só não se sabe o que vai receber.
pano de prato ou dedal.
escolha o mais caro que eu quero ver!
Mucama... (Mucama!)
Na cama do patrão.
Me chama... (me chama!)
Me chama de negão.
Me paga... (me paga!)
Salário de bufão.
Mas come... (Mas come!)
O que a população não come!
Não come!
O quê se espera de uma nação
que o herói é a televisão?
Que passa todos os seus meses mal,
Melhora tudo, no carnaval!
Dá pra brincar, dá pra comemorar!
Só não se sabe muito bem por quê.
Entrou de cara na realidade,
Na quarta-feira que eu quero ver!
Gabriel, o Pensador):
Na quarta-feira volta pra realidade!
Que arde,
Acaba a comemoração, apaga a televisão pra não gastar eletricidade!
Como na Cinderela a carruagem volta a ser abóbora
Na favela o carro alegórico some!
E volta às sobras:
sobra de feira,
sobra de chão,
sobra de terra,
sobra de bala perdida
e sobra de comida
pra Mucama,
Mucama que nada exclama,
que não se inflama,
que não reclama!
Se acalma vendo novela, pois na tela todo mundo ama todo mundo
Mas na vida real todo mundose odeia!
E ódio gera ódio, um sobe no pódio enquanto o outro serve a ceia!
Ceia no Natal
Seu luxo no carnaval
Mucama deitando na cama
Beijim, beijim, pau, pau
Tchau!
Eu só vou te usar
Você não é nada pra mim
Já teamos outra pra botar no seu lugar
Pirlimpimpim!
Abra-cadabra, mas não é Abre-te-Sésamo!
Porque aqui as portas só se fecham: BUM!
É menos uma oprtunidade, não é só a quarta-feira que é de cinzas
Na verdade é a semana inteira:
Quinta, sexta, sábado e domingo e segunda!
E o povo-Mucama continua sorrindo, levando nas coxas, levando na bunda!
Mas não faz mal!
Porque depois melhora tudo(hen!)
No carnaval...
Mucama... (Mucama!)
Na cama do patrão
Me chama... (me chama!)
Me chama de negão
Me paga... (me paga!)
Salário de bufão
Mas come... (Mas come!)
O que a população não come!
Não come!
Here comes that boat floating down the river
The south bound channel on the west side
It looks like the captain's pulling over
And I'm bound to take a ride
Take a ride
Well down at the dock I paid my fare
I paid only one way not two
I don't know where but I'll get there
And on my way I'll sing this tune
And when the night falls down on the southern city
And there's nothing left to do but play
Well opportunity is beckoning to me
And I'll make my way back home some day
Don't you know my daddy was a real hard worker
For us he did all he could do
Worked all day for the white collar man
So he could send us off to school
But I feel just like cryin
Because I didn't play by all his rules
Well opportunity is beckoning to me
And I'll make my way back home some day
Here comes that boat floating down the river
The south bound channel on the west side
It looks like the captain's pulling over
And I'm bound to take a ride
Take a ride
And when the night falls down on the southern city
And there's nothing left to do but play
Well opportunity is beckoning to me
I don't think you understand
I'm livin' in a dyin' land
in the basement hellfires fume
death's sittin' in my livin' room
I try, try, try to make my way
I try, try, try to make my way
Make my way!
Some contition I been in
vermin underneath my skin
gonna go meet my old friend
and shake a hand with grief again
I try, try, try to make my way
I try, try, try to make my way
Make my way!
I been walkin' all around this hollow town
I seen people sink on down into the ground
Some folks wonder what lies underneath
Well I seen cannibals that got rotten meat between the teeth
Hey! Hey! Hey!
When the friendship becomes some kind of past
Turns me weak and make me lose interest
Gotta stay and play the prize of the last
These are the rules of my game ooooh!
I don't have my friends to take or to blame
Turns me mad because it's hard to explain
Gotta understand the reasons of my game
Those that make me feel alive ooooh!
I divide my life in sections (oooh!)
Then I shoot some my directions (oooh!)
Matter of fact I feel always the same (oooh!)
These are the rules of my game ooooh!
Breaking rules is not a hard thing to do
I made this game to spend some time over you
Doesn't matter if you try something new
These are the rules of my game ooooh!
I don't have my friends to take or to blame
Turns me mad because it's hard to explain
Gotta understand the reasons of my game
Those that make me feel alive ooooh!
I divide my life in sections (oooh!)
Then I shoot some my directions (oooh!)
Matter of fact I feel always the same (oooh!)
These are the rules of my game ooooh!
I divide my life in sections (oooh!)
Then I shoot some my directions (oooh!)
Matter of fact I feel always the same (oooh!)
These are the rules of my game ooooh!
Chove lá fora e aqui faz tanto frio
Chove lá fora e aqui faz tanto frio
Me dá vontade de saber
Aonde está você me telefona, me chama, me chama, me chama
Nem sempre se vê, mágica no absurdo
Mágica no absurdo, mágica, cadê você?
Nem sempre se vê, lágrimas no escuro
Lágrimas no escuro, lágrimas, cadê você?
Tá tudo cinza sem você, tá tão vazio
Que a noite fica sem por que ...
There the shade
Above the land
Screaming lightning, roaring thunder
Black clouds befogs the sky
Breathing storms escorts your fly
Seeking, bleeding, raging eyes
Burning head, uproarious cries
fogging tail swallowes the tracks
running fast, I bite your neck
I’m watching
Your run down
There in the
Scanty land
You’re lost there
In my game
of hate
go down to die
Seeking, bleeding, raging eyes
Burning head, uproarious cries
fogging tail swallowes the tracks
running fast, I bite your neck
You will never come out
You will never sleep there
You’ll never get a hideout from my cruelest hate
You will never laugh again
You will never feel save
You know the only way out here of my game
I’m watching
Your run down
There in the
Scanty land
You’re lost there
In my game
of hate
go down to die
for me
In my game
Go down on your knees and pray
Give your live
To the new
Cruelest God
I'm your god
Now were together here my love
Your sorrow grows to my personal war
Not to decide about mankind
