I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go
Walkin' with a dead man over my shoulder Waiting for an invitation to arrive Goin' to a party where no one's still alive CHORUS I was struck by lighting Walkin' down the street I was hit by something last night in my sleep It's a dead man's party Who could ask for more Everybody's comin', leave your body at the door Leave your body and soul at the door . . . (Don't run away it's only me) All dressed up with nowhere to go Walkin' with a dead man Waitin' for an invitation to arrive With a dead man . . . Dead Man . . . Got my best suit and my tie Shiny silver dollar on either eye I hear the chauffeur comin' to my door He Says there's room for maybe just one more . . . CHORUS Don't run away it's only me Don't be afraid of what you can't see Don't run away it's only me . . . |

When the lights go out
Everybody has fun, baby, baby, baby When the lights go out Everybody runs to a safe place When the lights go out Everybody's afraid When the lights go out Everybody starts to pray Starts to pray.... Monsters and madmen All come alive When the dead start walking There's no place to hide There's no place to hide Hey?let's turn the night into day Let's start a fire in an alleyway Let's all go crazy by and by And let's all pray to the cat's eye No one can be trusted when the lights go out People act real crazy; people start to shout People huddle together; try and hide their fear People party down, but they ain't goin' nowhere They ain't goin' nowhere Gonna run outside What's there to see? Just one big shadow there to comfort me There to comfort me...there to comfort me Hey?let's turn the night into day Let's start a fire in an alleyway Let's all go crazy by and by And let's all pray to the cat's eye Just common folks, like you and me Turn into mobs that get so crazy Prowl the streets like cats Out for the hunt Breaking all the windows, just because it's fun Just because it's fun, just because it's fun Hey?let's turn the night into day Let's start a fire in an alleyway Let's all go crazy by and by And let's all pray to the cat's eye |

Life's been so good to me
Has it been good to you? Has it been everything That you expected it to be? Was it as good for you As it was good for me? And was it everything That it was all set up to be? (Now, is that gratitude?) Now, is that gratitude? Or is it really love Some kind of reality That fits just like a glove Now, is that gratitude For everything I've done Or is it something else That's got me on the run? In the middle of a big tornado On the tip of everyone's tongue In the belly of a giant whale All the girls just wanna have fun In the look of a frightened neighbor In a big, warm bed at night In a broken elevator In the teeth of a dog that bites In the middle of a revolution In the look of a child's face In the silence of the dinner table In the stillness of disgrace I used to eat little girls I knew For breakfast I used to fly high up in the sky I used to chew up rocks and Spit out gravel I had a heart as cold as ice But when I think of you And what you've done to me You took away my hope You took away my fantasy I once had lots of pride The world was in my hands I lived way at the top Of castles made of sand Ooh... I dream of you sometimes |

This is someone else's story
Someone that I never knew This is someone else's body Am I getting through to you? If you peel away the armor, is something underneath? If you look below for hidden treasure, Underneath another layer Are you hiding underneath the skin? If you peel away the skin, is there anybody there? If you peel away the skin, is there anybody there? If you peel away the armor, is it too late to begin? Is there anybody hiding if you peel away the skin? Now a spark has passed between us, now A momentary recognition Something lost and something gained And something shared that feels so strange Something cold that will not go away There's a heart as cold as ice In a vault that's made of stone Over years, the walls got higher Over years, the walls have grown Is there anybody in there in this self-inflicted tomb? If you peel away the layers, is there someone in this room? If you peel away the skin, if you peel away the skin This is someone else's story Someone that I never knew This is someone else's body Am I getting through to you? |

With sadness in my heart and joy in my mind
I thought about the ghosts that we left behind With everyone around telling us what to do With deafening sound, whisper, "I love you" With fire in your eyes, may it never go out The sweetness of your tears makes it feel like night I see no escape from the roles we always play What do we have to prove on this judgment day? You're mine now, but you're not my sister You're mine now, but you're not my slave You're mine now, but you're not my child You're mine now, but you're not my slave You're missing the whole point; you're not my little pet Don't throw away your life; the game's not over yet I do not own your soul; don't want you in a cage I only want your heart to find a special place You're mine now, but you're not my sister You're mine now, but you're not my slave You're mine now, but you're not my child You're mine now, but you're not my slave With sand in my heart and clouds in my head I thought about us both and the life we led From pages in a book and pictures on a screen We make ourselves like clay from someone else's dream One second, you are cast just like stones at my feet But I am not a king; please, don't worship me With everyone around telling us what to do With deafening sound, whisper, "I love you" You're mine now, but you're not my sister You're mine now, but you're not my slave You're mine now, but you're not my child You're mine now, but you're not my slave |

This is not the first time?you tried to get away
This is not a party?where people know your name This is not a classroom?with teacher at the board This is not a cat show?with prizes at the door Go?don't you go Won't you stay with me one more day? If we get through one more night If we get through one more night This is not a horserace?where winners beat the time This is not a funeral?with mourners in a line This is not a sitcom?where everything's all right This is not a prison?with terror through the night Go?don't you go Won't you stay with me one more day? If we get through one more night If we get through one more night |

Sweat!
Born for trouble; poised for action Ready to spring at a moment's notice Nerves like a trigger waiting to be pulled Covered with sweat; it ain't nice Sweat! Help me, please?I'm burning up I got this fire in my heart Won't let me sleep; can't concentrate Even when it's cold, I'm dripping sweat It ain't nice Sweat! Rivers running down my back Makes me slippery, like a fish If I don't stop, I might drown Falling down, down, down, down; not dead yet Covered with Sweat The cool boys bit the dust They couldn't take the pressure The cool girls got knocked up They only wanted to have fun (Where did they go?) They fell in love and suffer (Where did they go?) They picked up guns and hammers (Where did they go?) Without friction, there's no heat Without heat, there can't be fire Without fire, there's no desire You're making me hot, hot, hot, hot! Sweat! Sweat! Take my baby, Saturday night It's 110; it's all right Close the door to my little room Starting to sweat; fun starts soon Sweat! Principal caught me after school Gave me hell; called me a fool Pointed his finger at my face Started to sweat all over the place Flowed like rivers onto the floor I can take it?give me some more Sweat! War breaks out throughout the land Dodging bullets in the sand Enemy's getting much too close Sun beats down on the back of my neck Fingers twichin'; covered with sweat Covered with sweat The cool boys bit the dust They couldn't take the pressure The cool girls got knocked up They only wanted to have fun (Where did they go?) They fell in love and suffer (Where did they go?) They picked up guns and hammers (Where did they go?) Without friction, there's no heat Without heat, there can't be fire Without fire, there's no desire You're making me hot, hot, hot, hot! |

(What is the law?)
(What is the law?) Animals came from miles around So tired of walking so close to the ground They needed a change; that's what they said Life is better walking on two legs But they were in for a big surprise 'Cause they didn't know the law! (What is the law?) No spill blood What is the law? (No spill blood) (Who makes the rules?) Someone else Who makes the rules? (Someone else) The rules are written in the stone Break the rules and you get no bones All you get is ridicule, laughter And a trip to the house of pain! (Who makes the rules?) Someone else Who makes the rules? (Someone else) (What is the law?) No spill blood What is the law? (No spill blood) We walk on two legs, not on four To walk on four legs break the law What happens when we break the law? What happens when the rules aren't fair? We all know where we go from there: To the house of pain! To the house of pain! (What is the law?) What is the law? (Who makes the rules?) Who makes the rules? We walk on two legs, not on four To the house of pain To the house of pain To the house of pain To the house of pain To the house of pain (No spill blood) |

Everyone says, sooner or later,
You'll reach the end of the line When things get rough Some think it's easy to jump the ship... You decide I say, don't throw it away There's about a million reasons why Though you've heard them all before And you're getting very tired Lay your head on my lap And I'll sing you this lullaby: Don't you know That everyone around you Has felt the pain you feel today? You're out of control, yeah? And you want someone to tell you When you wake up in the morning, it'll only be a dream You're out of control.... There's a cloud rollin' overhead And it seems to rain on no one else There's a black sun casting a black shadow And I know you feel so all alone You're out of control?and you want the world to love you Or maybe you just want a chance to let them know Yeah, that you live and breathe and suffer And your back is in the corner And you've got nowhere to go Nothing for nothing?everything's right at your fingertips?for a price Who ever said that life on this planet would ever be paradise? I say, don't throw it away; you've got too many things to say If you throw away your life?if you throw away your life If you throw away your life, the world will never be the same Don't you know That everyone around you Has felt the pain you feel today? You're out of control, yeah?it'll only be a dream You're out of control?and you move without direction And people look right through your soul You're out of control?and you want someone to tell you: When you wake up in the morning, it'll only be a dream And I wish that I could tell you it'll only be a dream |

(Bits of) My creation?is it real? It's my creation?I do not know No hesitation?no heart of gold Just flesh and blood?I do not know From my heart and from my hand, Why don't people understand My intentions...ooh, weird.... Weird science! (Weird science) Magic and technology Voodoo dolls and chants Electricity We're makin' (Weird science) Fantasy and microchips Shooting from the hip Something different We're makin' (Weird science) Pictures from a magazine Diagrams and charts Mending broken hearts (and makin') (Weird science) Something like a recipe Bits and pieces.... Bits and pieces.... |

You worry too much
You make yourself sad You can't change fate But don't feel so bad Enjoy it while you can It's just like the weather So quit complaining, brother... No one lives forever! Let's have a party There's a full moon in the sky It's the hour of the wolf And I don't want to die I'm so happy dancin', while the grim reaper... Cuts, cuts, cuts But he can't get me (I'm as) clever as can be, and I'm very quick, but don't forget: We've only got so many tricks No one lives forever! You think you got it rough? What about your darling doggy? Ten short years And he's getting old and groggy I don't think it's very fair Cold, chop, low, but it's all relative, my friend, 'cause No one lives forever! Let's have a party There's a full moon in the sky It's the hour of the wolf and I Don't wanna die, (but).... No one beats him at his game For very long, but just the same Who cares; there's no place safe to hide Nowhere to run?no time to cry So celebrate while you still can 'Cause any second, it may end And when it's all been said and done... Better that you had some fun Instead of hiding in a shell Why make your life a living hell? So have a toast and down the cup And drink to bones that turn to dust ('cause)... No one, no one, no one... No one lives forever! Hey! |

I work so hard trying to make a few buck
I pass the hours in a dream The sweat keeps rolling off the tip of my nose There's only one thing keeps me on my feet Bridge I may be greasing the wheels in a noisy factory I may be hunched over metal machines Watching the gears as they move Just reminds me Of bodies in motion The sweat and the sound Wild sex in the working class After five it's a gas Wild sex in the working class Counting minutes gonna get home fast Thinking of your warm skin While i touch cold steel The days go by to the pounding beat My back is aching so bad But i'm grinning inside Thinking of you keeps me on my feet Bridge I work so hard i'm thinking of you I work so hard but i'm thinking of you I work so hard |

(There's life underground)
I feel it all around I feel it in my bones My life is on the line When I'm away from home When I step out the door The jungle is alive I do not trust my ears I don't believe my eyes I will not fall in love?I cannot risk the bet 'Cause hearts are fragile toys?so easy to forget It's just another day There's murder in the air It drags me when I walk I smell it everywhere It's just another day Where people cling to light To drive away the fear That comes with every night It's just another day.... It's just another day It's just another day.... It's just another day.... It's just another day when people wake from dreams The voices in their ears that will not go away I had a dream last night: The world was set on fire And everywhere I ran There wasn't any water The temperature increased The sky was crimson red The clouds turned into smoke And everyone was dead (But) There's a smile on my face...for everyone There's a golden coin...that reflects the sun There's a lonely place...that's always cold There's a place in the stars...for when you get old There's razors in my bed That come out late at night They always disappear Before the morning light I'm dreaming again Of life underground It doesn't ever move It doesn't make a sound And just when I think?that things are in their place The heavens are secure?the whole thing explodes in my face It's just another day.... It's just another day It's just another day.... It's just another day.... |

Who do you want to be today?
Who do you want to be? Who do you want to be today? Do you want to be just like someone on TV? Oh, boredom is so terrible; it's like a dread disease Nothing could be worse Than when there's nothing on TV I'd rather be a cowboy than to stare blank at the walls I've been reborn so many times I can't remember them all (And I say) Who do you want to be today? Who do you want to be? Who do you want to be today? Do you want to be just like someone on TV? Just like somebody on TV! I think I'll be a teddy boy; I think I'll be a hunk I think I'll be a tough guy and I think I'll be a punk I might just be a fashion star All dressed in frilly rags Or perhaps I'll cross the other side And walk around in Drag! Who do you want to be today? Who do you want to be? Who do you want to be today? Do you want to be just like someone on TV? Just like somebody on TV! Do you like to be just like a rock In the middle of the sea? Do you want to suffer by yourself In a pool of blissful misery? Do you feel like a saint in artists' clothes With a rosary in your hand? Do you wanna be crazy like Van Gogh, like A stranger in a Strange, strange land Would you rather push the buttons And be feared by all humanity? Or perhaps you'd like to be a bum? Do you wanna be stupid, just like me? Who do you want to be today? Who do you want to be? Who do you want to be today? Do you want to be just like someone on TV? Just like somebody on TV! Who do you want to be...? |

Johnny was bad, even as a child
Everybody could tell Everyone said, "If you don't get straight, "You'll surely go to hell" But Johnny didn't care He was an outlaw by the time that he was Ten years old He didn't wanna do what he was told Just a prankster, juvenile gangster His teachers didn't understand They kicked him out of school At a tender early age Just because he didn't want to learn things (Had other interests:) He liked to burn things The lady down the block She had a radio that Johnny wanted, oh, so bad So he took it the first chance he had Then he shot her in the leg And this is what she said: Only a lad You really can't blame him Only a lad Society made him Only a lad He's our responsibility Only a lad He really couldn't help it Only a lad He didn't want to do it Only a lad He's underprivileged and abused Perhaps a little bit confused His parents gave up They couldn't influence his attitude Nobody could help The little man had no gratitude And, when he stole the car, Nobody dreamed that he would Try to take it so far He didn't mean to hit the poor man Who had to go and die It made the judge cry Only a lad He really couldn't help it Only a lad He didn't want to do it Only a lad He's underprivileged and abused Perhaps a little bit confused It's not his fault that he can't behave Society made him go astray Perhaps if we're nice, he'll go away Perhaps he'll go away He'll go away Only a lad He really couldn't help it Only a lad He didn't want to do it Only a lad He's underprivileged and abused Perhaps a little bit confused Hey there, Johnny, you really don't fool me You get away with murder And you think it's funny You don't give a damn if we live or if we die Hey there, Johnny boy I hope you fry! |

About the ways of loving And I tell you, baby, That something's wrong Look to the sky above and the mud below Something drives me crazy; got to, got to get away Goodbye Without a doubt, I'm telling you I'm burnt out My tank is running on empty for far too long Whoa!
