My heart is black, and my lips are cold
Cities on flame with rock and roll Three thousand guitars they seem to cry My ears will melt, and then my eyes Oh, let the girl, let that girl, rock and roll Cities on flame now, with rock and roll Gardens of nocturne, forbidden delights Reins of steel, and it's alright Cities on flame, with rock and roll Marshal will buoy, but Fender control Let the girl, let that girl rock and roll Cities on flame now, with rock and roll My heart is black, and my lips are cold Cities on flame with rock and roll Three thousand guitars they seem to cry My ears will melt, and then my eyes Let the girl, let that girl rock and roll Cities on flame now, with rock and roll |

Well I've opened up my veins too many times
And the poison's in my heart and in my mind Poison's in my bloodstream, poison's in my pride I'm after rebellion, I'll settle for lies Is it any wonder that my mind's on fire Imprisoned by the thoughts of what you do Is it any wonder that the joke's an iron And the jokes on you Experiments that failed too many times Transformations that were too hard to find Poison's in my bloodstream, poison's in my pride I'm after rebellion, I'll settle for lies Yes I know the secrets of the iron and mind They're trinity acts a mineral fire Yes I know the secrets of the circuitry mind It's a flaming wonder telepath Well I've opened up my veins too many times And the poison's in my heart and in my mind Poison's in my bloodstream, poison's in my pride I'm after rebellion, I'll settle for lies Is it any wonder that my mind's on fire Imprisoned by the thoughts of what you do Is it any wonder that the joke's an iron And the jokes on you And the joke's on you ( ad infinitum |

Clock strikes twelve and moon drops burst
Out at you from their hiding place Like acid and oil on a madman's face His reason tends to fly away Like lesser birds on the four winds Like silver scrapes in May And now the sand's become a crust Most of you have gone away, you have gone away Oh, come Susie, dear, let's take a walk Just out there upon the beach I know you'll soon be married And you'll want to know where winds come from Well it's never said at all On the map that Carrie reads Behind the clock back there you know At the Four Winds Bar Hey, hey Hey, hey Four winds at the Four Winds Bar Two doors locked and windows barred One door to let to take you in The other one just mirrors it Hey, hey Hey, hey Uh, hellish glare and inference The other one's a duplicate The queenly flux, eternal light Or the light that never warms Yes, the light that never, never warms Oh, the light that never Never warms Never warms Never warms The clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst Out at you from their hiding place Miss Carrie nurse and Susie dear Would find themselves at Four Winds Bar It's the nexus of the crisis And the origin of storms Just the place to hopelessly Encounter time and then came me... Hey, hey Hey, hey Hey, hey Hey, hey Call me Desdinova Eternal light These gravely digs of mine Will surely prove a sight And don't forget my doll Fixe the consequence Astronomy... a star... Astronomy... a star... Astronomy... a star... Astronomy... a star |

Feeling easy on the outside
But not so funny on the inside Feel the sound, pray for rain For this is the night we ride This ain't the garden of eden There ain't no angels above And things ain't like what they used to be And this ain't the summer of love |

All our times have come
Here but now they're gone Seasons don't fear the reaper Nor do the wind the sun or the rain (we can be like they are) Come on baby (don't fear the reaper) Baby take my hand (don't fear the reaper) We'll be able to fly (don't fear the reaper) Baby I'm your man La-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la-la Valentine is done Here but now they're gone Romeo and Juliet Are together in eternity (Romeo and Juliet) 40,000 men and women everyday (like Romeo and Juliet) 40,000 men and women everyday (redefine happiness) Another 40,000 coming everyday (we can be like they are) Come on baby (don't fear the reaper) Baby take my hand (don't fear the reaper) We'll be able to fly (don't fear the reaper) Baby I'm your man La-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la-la Love of two is one Here but now they're gone Came the last night of sadness And it was clear she couldn't go on Then the door was open and the wind appeared The candles blew then disappeared The curtains flew then he appeared (saying don't be afraid) Come on baby (and she had no fear) And she ran to him (then they started to fly) They looked backward and said goodbye (she had become like they are) She had taken his hand (she had become like they are) Come on baby (don't fear the reaper) |

That night her kiss told me it was over I walked out late into the dark The misty gloom seems to soak up my sorrow The further I went on I felt a spreading calm Then suddenly my eyes were bathed in a light And the lovely lady in white was by my side She said "Like me I see you're walking alone Won't you please stay?" I couldn't look away She said I love the night The day is OK and the sun can be fun But I live to see those rays slip away I love the night There's so much I can show and give to you If you will welcome me tonight If only you had been there my dear We could have shared this together No mortal was meant to see such wonder One look in the mirror told me so Come darkness I'll see her again Yes I'm gonna go 'cause now I know She said I love the night The day is OK and the sun can be fun But I live to see those rays slip away I love the night There's so much that I can show and give to you If you will welcome me tonight If only you had been there my dear We could have shared this together |

With a purpose full of grimace and a terrible sound
He pulls the spitty/spitting/splitting (?) high tension wires down. Helpless people on subway trains Scream to God as he looks in on them. He picks up a bus and he throws it back down As he wades through the buildings toward the centre of town. CHORUS (×2): Oh no, they say he's got to go: Go, go, Godzilla! (yeahh) Oh no, there goes Tokyo: Go, go, Godzilla! (yeahh) Godzilla-zilla-zilla-zilla... Rinji news o moshiagemasu! Rinji news o moshiagemasu! Godzilla ga Ginza hoomen e mukatte imasu! Daishkyu hinan shite kudasai! Daishkyu hinan shite kudasai! [Chorus] History shows again and again How nature points up the folly of men. Godzilla! (×4 |

Maybe I'll see you again baby And maybe I won't Maybe you've bought your ticket Gone back to Detroit Airplanes make strangers of us all Give us distance Much too easily. Jim says some destinies Should not be delivered But you and I seen now baby That still they are Winning it makes losers of us all 'Cause the dice roll So indifferently. CHORUS: Well, I'll wrap myself in cities I travel I'll wrap myself in dreams I'll wrap myself in solitude ("stranger's arms" FOR 3RD CHORUS) But I wish I could wrap myself In thee. Tonight it's hot, without you Tomorrow'll be cold Winter will come along Driven by snow Love it makes strangers of us all When we part Oh so thoughtlessly CHORUS Once we breathed the breath Of sweet surrender Pure, pure Arab air filled our Atmosphere But pride it makes stars of us all Until we fall For everyone to see.

I have this feeling that my luck is none too good This sword here at my side don't act the way it should Keeps calling me its master, but I feel like its slave Hauling me faster and faster to an early, early grave And it howls, it howls like hell I'm told it's my duty to fight against the law That wizardry's my trade and I was born to wade through gore I just want to be a lover, not a red-eyed screaming ghoul I wish it'd picked another to be its killing tool Black blade! Black blade! Forged a billion years ago Black blade! Black blade! Killing so its power can grow There's death from the beginning to the end of time And I'm the cosmic champion and I hold a mystic sign And the whole world's dying and the burdens mine And the black sword keeps on killing 'til the end of time Black blade! Black blade! Bringing chaos to the world we know Black blade! Black blade! And its using me to kill my friends Black blade! Black blade! Getting stronger so the world will end Black blade! Black blade! Forcing my mind to bend and bend The black blade Forged a million billion years ago My cosmic sword goes on for eternity Carving out destiny Bringing in the lords of chaos Bringing up the beasts of Hades Sucking out the souls of heroes Laying waste to knights and ladies My master is my slave Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha |

Junkies down in Brooklyn are going crazy
They're laughing just like hungry dogs in the street Policemen are hiding behind the skirts of little girls Their eyes have turned the color of frozen meat No, no no no, no no no no no no no no, Joan Crawford has risen from the grave Joan Crawford has risen from the grave Catholic schoolgirls have thrown away their mascara They chain themselves to the axles of big Mack trucks The sky is filled with hurt and shivering angels The fat lady lives! Children, start your trucks! No, no no no, no no no no no no no no, Joan Crawford has risen from the grave Joan Crawford has risen from the grave (Christina... Mother's home! No, no... Christina... No, no - no, no... Come to Mother... No, no - no, no, no no no no no no Christina...)

Home in the valley
Home in the city Home isn't pretty Ain't no home for me Home in the darkness Home on the highway Home isn't my way Home will never be Burn out the day Burn out the night I can't see no reason to put up a fight I'm living for giving the devil his due And I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you Time is the essence Time is the season Time ain't no reason Got no time to slow Time everlasting Time to play besides Time ain't on my side Time I'll never know Burn out the day Burn out the night I'm not the one to tell you what's wrong or what's right I've seen signs of what (freezing their eyes) went through Well I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you Burn out the day Burn out the night I can't see no reason to put up a fight I'm living for giving the devil his due And I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you |

Well I'm up there beside the magic man And he layed some tricks for me He said you do need help my friend I whispered, obviously He laid a spread of Jacks and Queens And he begged me take my pick But every face that had your face I cried out, I am sick Chorus: Sick of hauling your love around Want to run my train alone But the engine tracks straight through your heart And weighs me like a stone Oh it's a hard love to love you it takes up all my time Having you so familiar like past lives and nursery rhymes So I gave away the pictures and your golden ring And the phone calls you sent me and the silver birds that sing Then the man he told me something that really brought me down Your things were blown away it's true but you were still in town Chorus: The magician left a message, it flashes when I hide Accept the chains of loving, Accept the rails remove yourself from her side Do without her love As I lay back in the speeding train, I keep it by my side I could mail a letter to you but I still have my pride Chorus Three times I've sent you back from me three times my boat's gone dry And three times I've seen the shooting shark lighting up the sky Oh it's a hard love to love you babe it takes my breath away The fourth time round is the last time round there's nothing else to say |

Strange shapes light up the night.
Never see ?em though I hope I might. Don?t ask if they are real. The men in black, their lips are sealed. Fantasy fills my mind To leave this place before my time, Release myself from earthly care. My dream may be your nightmare. I turn my hopes up to the sky I?d like to know before I die Memories will slowly fade I lift my eyes and say, ?Come on, take me away! Come on, take me away!?br /> Come here girl close to me A thousand stars your eye can see First one we see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might. Chorus Guitar solo Chorus |
