Simon Phillips [Drum]

Some people live their dreams
some people close their eyes
Some people's destiny passes by.
There are no guarantees.
There are no alibis.
That's how our love must be.
Don't ask why.
It takes some time God knows how long
I know that I can forget you
As soon as my heart stops breakin' anticipatin'
as soon as forever is through,
I'll be over you .
There are no time gone by
Promises we once made .
What are the reasons why
nothing stays the same?
There are the nights holding you close
someday I'll try to forget them
as soon as my heart stop breaking

Well it's two a. m. You're just getting in.
Soon you'll be ereepin' into bed.
Later you'll pretend you were out with a friend,
but I'm still inside your head.
I don't understand.
You say I'm your man,
when it's clear youre seein' another.
You can call me a fool for just loving' you.
But girl I'll never find another.
If you think he'll love you better,
your every wish is his command.
Baby he's your man.
Baby he's your man.
Well, you spoke your mind.
But I still can't find what's wrong with you and me.
I got something' to say and baby come what may.
Baby we were never meant to be.
So I want you to know,
I can't let him go, 'til find a love that's real.
I don't like this game.
I don't need this pain.
I'm just saying what I feel.
I know he can love me better.
My every wish is his command.
Baby he's your man.
Baby he's your man.
Baby he's your man.

They keep looking through the window
a cathode glaze across their eyes.
Now that I've been betrayed, I must be well behaved..
I'll drink corruption with their lies.

Why was I hiding out?
What am I running from?
Why are they waiting?
Have I always been the choosen one?

Drag him to the roof just push me over.
I've got no better place to be.
Drag hime to the roof, let's get it over..
it's a perfect day to punish me.

I wish that lady would defend me.
I can't abide by all the laws.
I'll but the magistrate, can't be a second late..
Ianxiously await his call.

Who made this jigsaw puzzle?
Who'll put the pieces back?
Who'll come and get me
when I have fallen through the cracks?

Drag him to the roof just push me over.
I've got no better place to be.
drag him to the roof let's get it over.

It's a perfect day to punish me.

All this pain surrounding me hopelessness is all that I see now.
Does it have to be this way?
Brouht up on hyoerisy, the seeds they sow don't last forever,
they just fade away...

Don't be confused by the lies of the fools and deceivers.
Hope and believe in the things that we need to survive.

We can make it if we'd only take the gift of faith.
We can change it if we'd just accept the gift of faith.

Take away my dignity.
Take away my hope and my freedom.
You got a world full of rage.
Don't cover me with apathy.
Don't buy and sell what I believe in.
Don't lock me in a cage.

In a world where no one's alone, trust should come aesily.
Just reach out your hand, and I'll give you mine.

We can make it if we'd only take the gift of faith.
We can chage it if we'd just accept the gift of faith.

Don't be confused be the lies of the fools and deceivers.
Hope and believe in the things that we need to survive.

We can make if if we'd only makte the gift of faith.
We can change it if we'd just accept the gift of faith.
We can make if if we'd only take the gift of faith.
It's yours to chooes but only fools refuse the gift of faith.

I was born in the land of the sun and the tall green grass,
and I don't understand how all this has come to pass
hwo we've come to surround ourselves in a sea of thieves,
ina a land without learning only the fools believe.

I went driving last night on a dark canyon road,
had the sky to myself but I wasn't alone,
had hte pain of my lifetime for my company.
How did it end up like this for you and me?

When love breaks the promise the heart has to keep,
it leaves only truth here to find.
When the spirit is crushed and the hurt is so deep,
between you and I.

Even when love has come and gone
and our hearts have moved along,
I will remember.
There was a time we had the trust,
and that always was enough.
I will remember.
I will remember you.

As I open my eyes to one more day,
the wind burns my face as it whispers your name,
as it's pulling me forward it tears me free,
and the only thing left is the tears for and me.

'Cause when love breaks the promise the heart has to keep,
it leaves only truth here to find,
when the spirit is crushed
and hurt is so deep between you and I.

Even when love has come and gone,
and our hearts have moved along.
I will remember...
there was a time we had thetrust
and that always was enough.
I will remember.

I will remember you.

I left you crying on that angry morning
You know I lied
I'll always run from anything that loves me
To my safe side

My world circles 'round a different sun
That's all burned away
I know that you're the only one
Now I'm walking down some distant street
And I know your touch is out of reach

Girl you belong to me I know
And it was wrong for me to ever let you go
Girl you belong to me I know

Everybody has a lonely moment
They can't explain
And everybody wants to feed their hunger
Without the pain

There's no shadows in my hiding place
I'm so locked away
Now I wish that I could see your face
I know I hurt you when you say we're through
I never really will get over you 'cause

Girl you belong to me I know
And it was wrong for me to ever let you go
Girl you belong to me I know

[Instrumental brake]

Girl you belong to me I know
And it was wrong for me to ever let you go
[Repeat with fade]

I'm driving' through the rain, just to talk to you again.
Please don't run away this time, until I say what's on my mind.
Tonight I need to stay with you.
This time I'm not passing throught.
Tear down the walls around your heart,
and though I know it's who you are
I just can't get to you girl.
Oh yeah, I just can't get to you.
If you won't let me through girl.
Oh no, I just can't get to you.


You say you really need me here, so I can't let you disappear.
Even though it's getting late, somehow I seem to hesitate.
'Cause I just can't get to you girl.
Oh yeah, I just can't get to you...
if you won't let me through girl.
Oh no, I just can't get to you.
You're afraid that you'll get hurt again.
Yes, I knew htat's how it feels.
Don't surrender, that's no way to win.
Let it go, let me in.
'Cause I just can't get to you.


Just can't get to you girl.
Oh yeah, just can't get to you.
If you won't let me through girl
oh no, I just can't get to you.
Just can't get to you girl.
Oh yeah, just can't get to you.
You won't let me thfrough girl...
oh no, I just can't get to you.

You're a soul with no religion there's ice in your embrace.
In your dance of indecision, I see the anger in yor face.
A little drink to help my vision. A little something for the pain.
There's no drug for my condition,
there's no sweetness in the taste.
Tell me where the ride's gonna lead you.
Do I have to pay to be your friend?
There's nothing left to say, when you slipped away.
I can see you fading fast. I won't let you take me.
When you slipped away. I can see your burning stare.
Nothing's gonna shake me, as you slip away.

You're a world of blind ambition,
staring through the looking glass.
You willmeet your own collision,
when your conscience comes to ask.
Steal the love from those around you,
help yourself to everything.
Take the shelter that surrounds you.
it leaves you standing in the rain.
Tell me if the money can heal you.
Do I have to pray to make it end?
There's nothing left to say when you slipped away.
I can see you fading fast.
I won't let you take me. When you slipped away.
I can see your burning stare. Nothing's gonna shake me.
As you slip away.

Sometimes it hurts clear to the core, when we lose all we've cared for. The hunger and thirst for love that endures is never ending.

What will I do with my life? Try to share it with somebody new? And how can I learn to disguise that I'm lost without you.

All Ihave left is a heart full of mirrors.
A heart full of voices reminding me that it's over...girl it's over.
I'll heart it echo deep inside 'til the other end of time.
The other end of time.

Left over dreams fade in my mind, and I'm counting on this love to die,
'cause all that I need is to give my whole life a new beginning.

But Something is holding me down,
like I'm under a mountain of stone,
and all I can hear is the sound of my own heart breaking.

'Cause all I have left is a heart full of mirrors a heart full of voices reminding me that it's over...girl it's over.
I'll hear it echo deep inside
'til the other end of time.
'Til the other end of time.

'Cause all I have left is a heart of mirrors.
A heart full of voices reminding me that it's over...girl it's over.
I'll hear it echo deep inside.

All I have left is a heart full of mirrors a heart full of voices reminding me that it's over...girl it's over.
I'll hear it echo deep inside
'til the other end of time.
'Til the other end of time.

Not by the way of an apology for the things that
I have done, do I set my boat upon the sea.


So like thunder, I am breaking free.
In the landscape of the heart it's hard
to tell what's really taken me.
Now I see it all through different eyes.
This emotion can't be wrong.
Past the mountains under empy skies,
and the road goes on and on.


I've been living through this poetry.
Tangled words and worn out porse.
Love is needing, love is bleeding me.
Now I see it all through different eyes.
This emotion can't be wrong.
Past the mountains under empty skies.
The road goes on.


Now I see it all through different eyes
where I'm going, where I've gone.
All I know - I'm still surprised that the road goes on and on.

I went down to the highway that runs between love and pride. And I tried to get sideways across the great divide. But my mind's eye's on the key ring crying in misery. 'Cause it won't spend one more evening staring back to me.

It may be by choice or a small inner voice I can't say. When you add up the cost we all have a cross. How do you write off the loss?

Where do I go from here?
How do I find my way?
When is it loud and clear,
that there's no turning back? No looking back.
Where do I go from here?
Nobody gets away.
It's a new kind of fix,
for hte poor and the rich.
You never know what's coming next...at the turning point.

The rules are unwritten and nobody knows the deal.
Where have I been driven are deamons behind the wheel?
Yeah, I know my days are numbered,
we're only flesh and bone,
and I've been left to wonder how it went so wrong.

Is it all tailor made,
can the sinner be saved, Ican'tsay.
So don't hang your hat on the knife im my back.

'Cause nobody treats me like that.

Where do I go from here?
How do I find my way?
When is it loud and clear,
that there's no turning back?
No looking back.
Where do I go from here?
Nobody gets away.
It's a new kind of fix,
for the poor and the rich.
You never know what's coming next...

At the turning point.

Those days we gave our all. Unaffected.
I bravely faced the fall. No refelction.
Freak armies of the night. Misdirected.
I fought the useless fight. Unprotected.
Don't cry for me. Time is the enemy.
Soon I'll be free. I surrender. S
weet moon, she marks the year. Unreflected.
How sad she has no tears. So neglected.

Don't cry for me.
Time is the enemy.
Soon I'll be free.

I surrender.

What have you achieved now you're old
Did you fulfill ambition, do as you were told
Or are you still doing the same this year
Should I give sorrow, or turn 'round and sneer

I know that the prospects weren't all that good
But they improved, and I'd have thought that you could
Have strived for that something we all have deep inside
Not let it vanish, along with your pride

Now with the aid of your new walking stick
You hobble along through society thick
And look mesmerized by the face of it all
You keep to the gutter in case you fall

I can't go on
I can't go on
I can't go on
I can't go on

I, I, I, I...

I'll be damned, here comes your ghost again
But that's not unusual
It's just that the moon is full
And you decided to call
And here I sit, hand on the telephone
Hearing the voice I'd known
A couple of light years ago
Heading straight for a fall
Well we both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust
Yes we both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust
Now I see you standing all around with snow in your hair
Now we're looking out the window
of a crummy hotel over Washington Square
Our breath comes in white clouds,
mingles and hangs in the air
Speaking strictly for me,
we both could've died then and there
Now you're telling me, your not nostalgic
Damn give me another word for it
You were so good with words
And at keeping things vague
Cause I need some of that vaugeness now
It's all come back too clearly, Yes I love you dearley
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust,
I've already paid
Well we both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust
Yes we both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust
Diamonds, Diamonds and rust

Grand Canyons of space and time universal
My mind is subjected, subjected to all!
Stab! Bawl! Punch! Crawl!
Hooks to my brain are well in.
Stab! Bawl! Punch! Crawl!
I know what I am, I'm Berlin.
Through cracked, blackened memories of unit dispersal,
I face the impregnable wall
Stab! Bawl! Punch! Crawl!
Hooks to my brain are well in
Stab! Bawl! Punch! Crawl!
I know what I am, I'm Berlin

Exploding, reloading, this quest never ending,
Until I give out my last breath!
I'm stabbing and bawling, I'm punching and crawling
I'm stabbing and bawling, I'm punching and crawling
I know what I am, I'm Berlin
Hooks to my brain are well in
I'm stabbing and bawling, I'm punching and crawling
I know what I am, I'm Berlin

Once I dreamed that love would come and sweep me up away
Now it seems life's passed me by, I'm still alone today
Here come the tears

Looks like it'll always be the same
No one here to comfort me
Here come the tears

All alone, no one cares.
So much to give to you all out there.

Take me now, in your arms.
Let me rest, safe from harm.

Ohhh I want to be loved
I need to be loved
Won't somebody love me


Here they come, here come the tears
Here they come, here come the tears

Throughout the soft and timeless days of August
'Til now the shadows begin to grow much longer
The sunset's fire has deepened blood red
I give you this, the last rose of summer
A token of my unyielding love
So when the winter's mantle stills the earth
And all around seems dead and cold
This rose reminds you of a time when all was warm and living
Do not despair, mother nature simply rests
In sleep she has well earned
'Til one day not so very far from now
With the opening of the first rose buds I shall return
A token of my unyielding love
So that when winter's mettle steals the earth
And all around seems dead and cold
This rose reminds you of a time when all was warm and living
The last rose of summer

You'd better run
You'd better run
You'd better run from the Devil's gun
The race is on
The race is on
Now you'd better run from the Devil's gun

Strange things happen
If you stay
The Devil will catch you anyway
He'll seek you here
He'll seek you there
The Devil will seek you everywhere

And when he finds you
You'll soon find out
The Devil's fire just won't go out
He burns you up
From head to toe
The Devil's grip just won't let go

I made a spike about nine o'clock on a Saturday
All eyes hit me as I walked into the door
Then and then the guys were fooling in the demin dudes
A couple cards played rough stuff, New York, fire island

I cased the joint, straining at the scenes

I moseyed up to the counter and the tender came a-grinnin'
I snapped the smile off his face and scowled "Give me a bourbon"
The mirror on the wall was collecting and reflecting
All the heavy bodies ducking, stealing eager for some action
The scene screwed me up, I saw some contact
Then the big boys, saw me and knew that

I'd had too much, floating around
Statues alive, seconds are hours

Sacks like a hurricane, wrapped in and shattered
I was barely holding on to this flying body symphony
I guess I dream in pictures, not colors
The true free expression I demand is human rights - right

I gave my life, I am immortal

I'm going, no loss
I'm going, no loss
I'm going, no loss
I'm going, no loss

Nightmare, just a bunch of goddamn, rotten, steaming, raw
Deal

Sinner rider, rides in with the storm
The devil rides beside him
The devil is his god, God help you mourn
Do you, do you hear it, do you hear the thunder
Deafen every living thing about
Can you, can you see it, can you
See the mountains darken yonder
Black sun rising, time is running out
Sacrifice to vice or die by the hand of the
Sinner! Sinner! Sinner! Sinner!
His steed of fury,
Eyes of fire and mane ablaze
Demonic vultures stalking
Drawn by the smell of war and pain
He roams the starways
Searching for the carcasses of war
But if it's hungry then its very presence
Disrupts the calm into the storm
Curse and damn you all you'll fall by the hand of the
Sinner! Sinner! Sinner! Sinner!
God of the Devils, God of the Devils
Won't you help them pray
God of the Devils, God of the Devils
Is there no other way
Can't you hear their souls calling out in their plight
Can't you see their blood is boiling setting them alight

Thirty years now sleeping, so sound
War raises its head, and looks slowly around
The Sinner is near, sensing the fear
And the beast will start movin' around
Can't you see their souls calling out in their brain
Can't you hear their blood is boiling setting them alight

Sinner! Sinner! Sinner! Sinner!
Sacrifice to vice or die by the hand of the
Curse and damn you all you fall by the hand of the
Sinner!

You could find a way to ease my passion
You listen to the blood flow in my veins
You hear the teaching of the wind
Tell her why I'm alive within
I can't find the words
My mind is dead
It's better by you better than me

Guess you'll have to tell her how I tried
To speak up thoughts I've held so inside
Tell her now I got to go
Out in the streets and down the shore
Tell her the world's not much living for
It's better by you better than me

Everybody

Tell her not to wait until

He had enough
He couldn't take anymore
He'd found a place
In his mind and slammed the door
No matter how they tried
They couldn't understand
They washed and dressed him
Fed him by hand

Yeah! I've left the world behind
I'm safe here in my mind
Free to speak with my own kind
This is my life, this is my life
I'll decide not you

Withdrawn he'd sit there
Stare blank into space
No sign of life
Would flicker on his face
Until one day he smiled
It seemed as though with pride
The wind kissed him
Goodbye - and then he died

Yeah! I've left the world behind
I'm safe here in my mind
Free to speak with my own kind
This is my life, this is my life
I'll decide not you

Keep the world with all its sin
It's not fit for livin' in
Yeah! I will start again
It can take forever, and ever, and ever
And ever, but I'll still win.

How many like him,
Are there still
But to us, all
Seem to have lost the will
They lie in thousands
Plagued and lost
Is nothing worth this bitter cost

Yeah! I've left the world behind
I'm safe here in my mind
Free to speak with my own kind
This is my life, this is my life
I'll decide not youKeep the world with all its sin
It's not fit for livin' in

Beyond the realms of death.

Racing' cross the heavens
Straight into the dawn
Looking like a comet
Slicing through the morn
Scorching the horizon
Blazing to the land
Now he's here amongst us
The age of fire's at hand
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation is his task
Stand by for Exciter Salvation bids to ask
Everything he touches
Fries into a crisp,
Let him get close to you
So you're in his trip,
First you'll smoke and smoulder
Blister up and singe
When ignition hits you
the very soul of your being will cringe.
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation is his task
Stand by for Exciter
Here he comes now
Fall to your knees and repent if you please


Who is this man?
Where is he from?
Exciter comes
For everyone
You'll never see him
But you will taste the fire upon your tongue


He's come to make you snap out
Of the state that you are in
Looks around and make you
See the light again
So much self-indulgence
Results in shattered eyes
Predominant complacency
Leads to beguiling lies.
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation is his task
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation bids to ask
When he leaps amidst us
With combustive dance
All shall bear the branding
Of his thermal lance,
Cauterising masses
Melting into one
Only when there's order
Will his job be done.
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation is his task
Stand by for Exciter
Here he comes now
Fall to your knees and repent if you please


Who is this man?
Where is he from?
Exciter comes
For everyone
You'll never see him
But you will taste the fire upon your tongue
Racing past the heavens
Straight into the dawn
Looking like a comet
Slicing through the morn
Scorching the horizon
Blazing to the land
Now he's here amongst us
The age of fire's at hand
Stand by for Exciter
Stand by for Exciter
Stand by for Exciter
Stand by for Exciter

Stand and face each other
Don't know what to say
But that look in your eyes
Give it all away

You say you've got these feelings
You can't put into words
But you don't have to say a thing
'Cause I've already heard

Give me one good reason
Why this has to be
That's all I'm asking for

Don't say that it's over
When you and I both know
You can't put out this love
The fire burns below

We've been through so much together
We've laughed and we've sometimes cried
To say our love ain't working, well we
Haven't really tried

But why let's talk things over
Love can't be bought and sold
One more night together's what the future holds
What the future holds

Well, give me one good reason
Why this has to be
I said that's all I'm asking for
Can't you see I said

You can't put out the fire down below

I heard a human voice who sang like no one else
I heard a proud lady singing loud
Lived her life as she liked, didn't give a damn
But soon she found she was underground and wasted

I watched her hitting notes as she strutted stage
Her body shook oh, she did her stuff
She screamed and quake, give and take, maybe took too much
If you take the smooth you gotta take the rough

Why do you have to die to be a hero
It's a shame a legend begins at its end
Why do you have to die if you're a hero
When there's still so many things to say unsaid

I heard a man's guitar electrify a crowd
I felt the sound shower 'round
And he would take you with him where no music's been before
As you merged the power surge together

His music knew no limits if you were in it's wake
You had no choice, no, but hear its voice
And you would listen hypnotised, and in a dream
But once so strong survive or become weak

Why do you have to die to be a hero
It's a shame a legend begins at its end
Why do you have to die if you're a hero
When there's still so many things to say unsaid

If you gaze across timeless years you'll find them always there
And many gods will join the list compiled with dying care
Hungry mouths are waiting to bite the hand that feeds
And so the living dead carry on immortal deeds

I saw on silver screen an actor's rise to fame
But fast car user lose
That legend's born from death and that is such a shame
'cos every year new ones appear

Why do you have to die to be a hero
It's a shame a legend begins at its end
Why do you have to die if you're a hero
When there's still so many things to say unsaid.

I came across a smoking field, pulsating afterglow
I saw a searing flash of light erupt and skyward go
I staggered back in dazed surprise
What was it I had seen?
And as I stood there mesmerised I heard my spirit scream

Invader invader nearby
Invader, invader is nigh

This is the first of more to come in carefully planned attacks
If it is so we must prepare defences to fight back
The call is out throughout the world
United we must stand
To build a line, strategic force, they will not take a man

Invader invader nearby
Invader, invader is nigh

When they come to take control every man must play his role
They won't take our world away when the children we leave
Will have to believe in today

We warn you now you things out there
Whatever you may send
We won't give in without a fight, a fight until the end
With vigilance by day and night our scanners trace the sky
A shield is sealed upon this earth, a shield you won't get by

Invader invader nearby
Invader, invader is nigh

They laughed at their god
And fought him in vain
So he turned his back on them
And left them in pain
Now here come the saints
With their banners held high
Each one of them martyrs
Quite willing to die

Wake the dead, the saints are in Hell
Wake the dead, they've come for the bell

Cover your fists
Razor your spears
It's been our possession
For eight thousand years
Fetch the scream eagles
Unleash the wild cats
Set loose the king cobras
And blood sucking bats

Wake the dead, the saints are in hell
Wake the dead, they've come for the bell

We are saints
In hell
We are saints
In hell
We're going down
Into the fire
We're going down
Into the fire

The streets run with blood from the mass mutilation
As carnage took toll for the bell

Abattoir, abattoir, mon Dieu quelle horreur
For a time is was like second hell

Saints in Hell
Saints in Hell

The battle is over, the saints are alive
How can we all thank you, we felt so despised

Saints in Hell
Saints in Hell
Saints in Hell
Saints in Hell
Saints in Hell
Saints in Hell

Who gives you the right to come here and tell me
I have to leave this place, my home?
To you it's a jungle, to me it's a kingdom
Where (my) people are free there to roam
Born with the stars we are happy and peaceful
Till now we were left undisturbed.
But you rupture the forests -- our gardens and fill them
With filth from your cities, unheard

Savage, who is savage?
Leave your morals, stake your claim
Savage, you are savage!
Modern man can take the blame.

You poisoned my tribe with civilized progress
Baptizing our blood with disease
You christened our bodies with sadness and suffering
Saying then that your god is well-pleased
What have we done to deserve such injustice
Explain to us please if you can
But you can't! You can't! I can see it in your eyes
Of us both who's the primitive man?

Wild-eyed and tight fisted, I'm fused to the bone
I stand contemplating, reacting alone
Impaled with betrayal
The tourniquet turns
Society's creation
Pole-axed out and burnt

Long ago when man was king, his heart was clean now he's stained class
Time has slashed each untouched thing, so now he's just a stained class king

Transfixed at deliverance, is this all there is
Faithless continuum, into the abyss
Fierce is my conviction, absolute my belief
I spit at you apathy, and seducer deceit

Long ago when man was king, his heart was clean now he's stained class
Time has slashed each untouched thing, so now he's just a stained class king

Lethal, deadly, hung, drawn and quartered
He slaughtered and faltered and altered the world
But by doing so smashed all his hopes and utopian dreams
Whipping, stripping, peeling the flesh off, relentless and senseless
His lust snapped like vipers whose fangs sank in deep
To infest and decay from the core

Impaled with betrayal, the tourniquet turns
Society's creation, pole-axed out and burnt

Long ago when man was king, his heart was clean now he's stained class
Time has slashed each untouched thing, so now he's just a stained class king

Stained class king

The father's son, thy kingdom come, electric ecstasy,
Deliver us from all the fuss and give us sanctuary.
Lead us all into arena, magnificent in death.
Well let us serenade the sinner, we'll follow in his step.

White heat, red hot burns deep, white heat red hot.

The fury songs, venomous wrongs so rich in tragedy,
An overture forever more to senseless victories.
Give to us this day of glory the power and the kill
So we avoid the wrath and all the almighty fire of

White heat, red hot burns deep, white heat red hot.
The heat's hot burns a lot.
Who are not cut out to fight this day will surely fall.
The few who stand to take command forever and ever are men.

Prepare to fight, unsheathe your scythe a ghastly beam of ill
To slice the life with blinding light and seventh dimensional skill.
The centuries of dedication inherited till at last
For years of solar gladiation can only end in

White heat, red hot burns deep, white heat red hot.
The heat's hot burns a lot.
Who are not cut out to fight this day will surely fall.
The few who stand to take command forever and ever are men.

White heat
Red hot

Before the dawn
I hear you whisper in your sleep
Don't let the morning take him

Outside the birds begin to call
As if to summon up my leaving

I've spent a life time
since I found someone
since I found someone who would stay

I've waited too long
And now you're leaving
Oh please don't take it all away

You stitch me up good, and you cut me down
So I string you up to keep you hanging around
You dish the hot stuff up but you keep me waiting
So I'll play it dirty 'til your body is breaking

We've got to make love, the time is right
We've got to make love tonight
'Cause we're burnin' up

You make me greedy, you won't feed me my food
But I'll make out easy, 'cause I see straight through you
You cool me off and hot me up and that's not right
'Cause you'll get hungry in the heat of the night

And then we'll make love, just when it's right
And when we make love tonight
We'll be burnin' up

I know you feel the same
I know you feel the flame
Staring deep inside of you
Burnin' you up, breaking you down
Breakin' you out in a cold sweat
And as you lose control, of your very soul
Your desire takes over
You'll feel the heat sway
You're round to my way

I traveled to a distant shore,
I felt I had to go.
An inner voice had called me there,
But why I did not know.
I saw the evening star rise up,
Shining out to sea,
And now I understand at last what it means,
What it all means!

Evening star: I can see the light!
Evening star guiding me so bright!

I used to tempt fate, I couldn't see straight.
I faltered through my younger days.
Never knowing where I was going,
Then something helped me penetrate the haze.

Evening star: I can see the light!
Evening star guiding me so bright!

Now I am stronger: the haze no longer
Ruins my future destiny.
Such inspirations and new sensations
Pull up these string ties chasing me.

SOLO (Glenn/both)

Evening star: I can see the light!
Evening star guiding me so bright!

I'm home once more, much better for
The things that I have found.
Much wiser now, so simple how
Each time I turn around.
I see the evening star rise up,
Shining out on me,
And now I understand at last what it means,
What it all means!

We turn and face each other
My fingers pull your hair
You wince and jerk my wrist off
I bite my lip and stare
Your stance at once defiant
I'm rigid to your pose
You clench your teeth in anger
My loving swells and grows

You give me evil fantasies
I wanna get inside your mind
Come on and live my fantasies
I'll show you evil you can't hide

You're dragged into my vision
Trapped, serving to my need
Maybe imagination
Is where my dark side feeds
You slide your nails down in me
I raise my structure high
You pout, I snarl, you whimper
And wave compassion by

Push for all that you're worth

It goes against the grain
So Defying

Seek him here, seek him on the highway
Never knowing when hell appear
All await, engines ticking over
Hear the roar as they sense the fear

Wheels! a glint of steel and a flash of light!
Screams! from a streak of fire as he strikes!

Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Hell bent, hell bent for leather

Black as night, faster than a shadowcrimson flare from a raging sun
An exhibition, of sheer precision
Yet no one knows from where he comes

Fools! self destruct cannot take that crown
Dreams! crash one by one to the ground

Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Hell bent, hell bent for leather

Theres many who tried to prove that theyre faster
But they didnt last and they died as they tried

I never give no answers, I never tell no lies,
I never walk a straight line so I never get surprised.
I don't ask no favors, so I won't get abused.
I learned to win when I was young,
So I'm never ever gonna lose!

They pay me the money and I'll do the job
I got a contract on you
I got a contract on you!

I never ask no questions, I never speak my mind:
I always found that silence helps to keep me and my kind alive.
I take care of business. It takes care of me.
I look after myself and do it well
'Cause somebody's always looking for me.

They pay me the money and I'll do the job
I got a contract on you
I got a contract on you!

What manner of man am I?
A gun, lump sum and then I move on
What manner of man are you?
Stab a friend's back to jump a queue

I -- do what I do 'cuz I can't do nothing better.
You -- do what you do, just defending yourself,
'Cause you ain't got nothing better to do!

SOLO (Glenn)

I got no place, no name, I'm just a killing machine.
I kept the population down, if you know what I mean.
I never stop in one place, I move about the cities.
Got expensive tastes, but I hasten to add that:
I'm the best that there is!

They pay me the money and I'll do the job
I got a contract on you

Glowin god of Mars
Body burning bright

Well I'm ridin', ridin' on the wind
Yes I'm ridin', ridin' on the wind

Tearing up through life
Million miles an hour
Blinding all in sight
Surging rush of power

Well I'm ridin', ridin' on the wind
Yes I'm ridin', ridin' on the wind

Thunderbolt from hell
Shattering aloud
Screamin' demons yell
Bursting through the clouds

Well I'm ridin', ridin' on the wind

When the day is over,
I like to ease my mind
By jucin' up my system,
With the beat of a heavy kind
I smack a bottle open,
I crank the hi-fi high
I'm in-a seventh heaven
Ooh I can touch the sky

I'm in love, so in love
And I can't stop talking 'bout my rock forever

It's got the movin' to me,
just that I can't explain,
It's like a brilliant sunshine,
After standing in the pouring rain
My skin begins to tingle,
Ooh right on down my back.
It's really got me fevered,
Pounding my senses flat.

I'm in love, so in love
And I can't stop talking 'bout my rock forever

Rock - rock - rock forever (I love my)
Rock - rock - rock forever (my fever)
Rock - rock - rock forever (always gonna) Rock - rock - rock
forever
I can't stop talkin' about...rock...
Now get it right, boys...

I move as fast as I can
I like to get around
I'm crazy like a madman
My feet don't touch the ground
I move amongst the night life
And they just step aside
Cause when they see me coming
They know I'm running wild

Dead or alive there's nothing
That bothers me at all
I take on all comers
They back off or they fall
They raise their hands to stop me
I laugh and I defy
Cause what's the point in living
Unless you're living wild

No chains can hold me down
I always break away
I never hear society
Tell me what to do or say
I taste the life that pleases me
And raise a storm for all the world to see I never stumble, never fall
Never stop for rest
I rebell but I walk tall
And I demand respect

I move amongst the nightlife
And they just step aside
Cause when they see me coming
They know I'm running wild

I'm running wild
I'm running wild
Get outta my way
I'm running wild
I'm running wild
You better believe it
Wild...

I like to get around
I'm crazy like a madman
My feet don't touch the ground

And they just step aside
'Caus when they see me coming
They know I'm running wild

Said you're a little nothing
But butlers we have all
I take on all comers
They back up or they fall

They raise their hands to stuff me
I laugh and I defy
'Caus what's the point in living
Unless you're living wild

GUITAR SOLO (Glenn)

No chains can hold me down
Always break away
There's no use to sell me
Tell me what to do or say

I taste the life that pleases me
I raise the style for all the world to see

I never stumble no more
Never stop for breath
I looked back but I walked home
And I just step aside

2 REPEAT

I'm running wild
I'm running wild
Get them away, I'm running wild
I'm running wild
You'd be living wild
Wild...

Now when the day goes to sleep
and the full moon looks
And the night is so black that the darkness cooks
And you come creeping around,
making me do things I don't want to do

Can't believe that she needs my love so bad
Come sneaking around, trying to drive me mad
Busting in all my dreams,
making me see things I don't want to see

'Cause you're the Green Manalishi
with the two-pronged crown
All night dragging us up,
or you're bringing us down
Just taking my love, and slip away
Leaving me here,
trying to keep from following you

Now when the day goes to sleep and the full moon looks
And the night is so black that the darkness cooks
And you come creeping around, making me do things I don't want to do

Can't believe that she needs my love so bad
Come sneaking around, trying to drive me mad
Busting in all my dreams, making me see things I don't want to see

'Cause you're the Green Manalishi with the two-pronged crown
All night dragging us up, or you're bringing us down
Just taking my love, and slip away
Leaving me here, trying to keep from following you

Feeling like we're, ready to kick tonight
No hesitating, my bodies aching
Looking for some action,
satisfaction all right
Charging, vein faced,
as active as one-hundred solid proof
Mega town, Leviathan,
we're ready to hit the roof

You better watch out and hold on tight
We're heading your way like dynamite
Delivering the goods
Delivering the goods

Shake down, rock 'em boys,
crack that whip strap mean
Pulse rave, air waves,
battle lies in every place we've been
Stealing your hearts all across the land
Hot blood doing good,
we're going to load you with our brand

You better watch out and hold on tight
We're heading your way like dynamite
Delivering the goods
Yeah, Delivering the goods

Have your way
Stealing your hearts
Well we don't pull no punches,
we aim where the crunch is
The bound to do most damage to your brain
If you're looking for it mellow
You're nothing more than yellow
Gonna do it again and again
We'll beat you to submission
So you might as well surrender
You do gotta learn your lesson
'Cause there ain't nobody here to defend your heart

Faster, higher
'Til it seems that we're gonna break
Ohh shootin' further,
giving more than you're ever gonna take
Weaving with your heads
Crushed out on the floor
Begging for mercy
Be careful or we'll do it some more

You better watch out and hold on tight
We're heading your way like dynamite
Delivering the goods
Delivering the goods

I'll be damned, here comes your ghost again
But that's not unusual
It's just that the moon is full
And you decided to call

And here I sit, hand on the telephone
Hearing the voice I'd known
A couple of light years ago
Heading straight for a fall

Well we both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust
Yes we both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust

Now I see you standing
all around with snow in your hair
Now we're looking out the window
of a crummy hotel over Washington Square
Our breath comes in white clouds,
mingles and hangs in the air
Speaking strictly for me,
we both could've died then and there

Now you're telling me, your not nostalgic
Damn give me another word for it
You were so good with words
And at keeping things vague

Cause I need some of that vaugeness now
It's all come back too clearly,
Yes I love you dearley
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust,
I've already paid

Well we both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust
Yes we both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust

Diamonds, Diamonds and rust
Diamonds, Diamonds and rust
Diamonds, Diamonds and rust
Diamonds, Diamonds and rust

Racing' cross the heavens
Straight into the dawn
Looking like a comet
Slicing through the morn
Scorching the horizon
Blazing to the land
Now he's here amongst us
The age of fire's at hand
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation is his task
Stand by for Exciter Salvation bids to ask
Everything he touches
Fries into a crisp,
Let him get close to you
So you're in his trip,
First you'll smoke and smoulder
Blister up and singe
When ignition hits you
the very soul of your being will cringe.
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation is his task
Stand by for Exciter
Here he comes now
Fall to your knees and repent if you please


Who is this man?
Where is he from?
Exciter comes
For everyone
You'll never see him
But you will taste the fire upon your tongue


He's come to make you snap out
Of the state that you are in
Looks around and make you
See the light again
So much self-indulgence
Results in shattered eyes
Predominant complacency
Leads to beguiling lies.
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation is his task
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation bids to ask
When he leaps amidst us
With combustive dance
All shall bear the branding
Of his thermal lance,
Cauterising masses
Melting into one
Only when there's order
Will his job be done.
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation is his task
Stand by for Exciter
Here he comes now
Fall to your knees and repent if you please


Who is this man?
Where is he from?
Exciter comes
For everyone
You'll never see him
But you will taste the fire upon your tongue
Racing past the heavens
Straight into the dawn
Looking like a comet
Slicing through the morn
Scorching the horizon
Blazing to the land
Now he's here amongst us
The age of fire's at hand
Stand by for Exciter
Stand by for Exciter
Stand by for Exciter
Stand by for Exciter

Mercenary batalions
Are poised to strike us down
Terminations conquest
Upon us now full grown

Save me, my heart's open wide
Help me, no question of pride
Save me, my people have died
Total genocide

Devastation hungers
She waits to leap to earth
Imminent liquidation
Before the grand rebirth

Save me, my heart's open wide
Help me, no question of pride
Save me, my people have died
Total genocide

Sin after sin I have endured
Yet the wounds I bear are the wounds of love

Frantic mindless zombies
Grab at fleeting time
Lost in cold perplexion
Waiting for the sign

Generations tremble
Clinging face to face
Helpless situation
To end the perfect race

Flashing senseless sabers
Cut us to the ground
Eager for the life blood
Of all who can be found

Save me, my heart's open wide
Help me, no question of pride
Save me, my people have died
Total genocide

Slice to the left, slice to the right
None to retaliate, none will fight
Chopping at the hearts, snuffing out the lives
This race departs, no one will survive
Heads to the feet, feet to the air
Souls in the soil, heavy in despair
End of all ends, body into dust
To greet death friends, extinction is a must

Seek him here, seek him on the highway
Never knowing when hell appear
All await, engines ticking over
Hear the roar as they sense the fear

Wheels! a glint of steel and a flash of light!
Screams! from a streak of fire as he strikes!

Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Hell bent, hell bent for leather

Black as night, faster than a shadowcrimson flare from a raging sun
An exhibition, of sheer precision
Yet no one knows from where he comes

Fools! self destruct cannot take that crown
Dreams! crash one by one to the ground

Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Hell bent, hell bent for leather

Theres many who tried to prove that theyre faster
But they didnt last and they died as they tried

Theres many who tried to prove that theyre faster
But they didnt last and they died as they tried

Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Hell bent, hell bent for leather

1 I move as fast as I can
I like to get around
I'm crazy like a madman
My feet don't touch the ground

2 I move amongst the night life
And they just step aside
'Caus when they see me coming
They know I'm running wild

Said you're a little nothing
But butlers we have all
I take on all comers
They back up or they fall

They raise their hands to stuff me
I laugh and I defy
'Caus what's the point in living
Unless you're living wild

GUITAR SOLO (Glenn)

No chains can hold me down
Always break away
There's no use to sell me
Tell me what to do or say

I taste the life that pleases me
I raise the style for all the world to see

I never stumble no more
Never stop for breath
I looked back but I walked home
And I just step aside

2 REPEAT

I'm running wild
I'm running wild
Get them away, I'm running wild
I'm running wild
You'd be living wild
Wild...

Sinner rider, rides in with the storm
The devil rides beside him
The devil is his god, God help you mourn
Do you, do you hear it, do you hear the thunder
Deafen every living thing about
Can you, can you see it, can you
See the mountains darken yonder
Black sun rising, time is running out

Sacrifice to vice or die by the hand of the
Sinner!
Sinner!
Sinner!
Sinner!

His steed of fury,
Eyes of fire and mane ablaze
Demonic vultures stalking
Drawn by the smell of war and pain
He roams the starways
Searching for the carcasses of war
But if it's hungry then its very presence
Disrupts the calm into the storm

Curse and damn you all you'll fall by the hand of the
Sinner!
Sinner!
Sinner!
Sinner!

God of the Devils, God of the Devils
Won't you help them pray
God of the Devils, God of the Devils
Is there no other way

Can't you hear their souls calling out in their plight
Can't you see their blood is boiling setting them alight

Thirty years now sleeping, so sound
War raises its head, and looks slowly around
The Sinner is near, sensing the fear
And the beast will start movin' around

Can't you see their souls calling out in their brain
Can't you hear their blood is boiling setting them alight

Sinner!
Sinner!
Sinner!
Sinner!
Sinner!

Sacrifice to vice or die by the hand of the
Curse and damn you all you fall by the hand of the
Sinner!

Look out, here's Starbreaker
Cruisin' into town
Set his mind to stealin'
Every little heart around
Step out on the sidewalks
If you're feeling game
He comes but once a lifetime
Never seen again

Starbreaker
Glides in from the sky
Starbreaker
Takes you up so high

Paradise is waiting
For the chosen few
Let's hope maybe this time
He picks me and you
Star voyage to a new world
Light-year miles away
Cross your fingers, here he is,
Take us now this day

Starbreaker
Glides in from the sky
Starbreaker
Takes you up so high

Starbreaker, take my hand
Starbreaker, understand
Starbreaker, you're the one
Starbreaker, lead us on, and on

SOLO (K.K./Glenn/both)

Look out, here's Starbreaker
Cruisin' into town
Set his mind to stealin'
Every little heart around
Step out on the sidewalks
If you're feeling game
He comes but once a lifetime
Never ever seen again

Starbreaker
Glides in from the sky
Starbreaker
Takes you up so high

Now when the day goes to sleep
and the full moon looks
And the night is so black that the darkness cooks
And you come creeping around,
making me do things I don't want to do

Can't believe that she needs my love so bad
Come sneaking around, trying to drive me mad
Busting in all my dreams,
making me see things I don't want to see

'Cause you're the Green Manalishi
with the two-pronged crown
All night dragging us up,
or you're bringing us down
Just taking my love, and slip away
Leaving me here,
trying to keep from following you

You're in for surprise
You're in for a shock
In London town streets
When there's darkness and fog
When you least expect me
And you turn your back
I'll attack

I smile when I'm sneaking
Through shadows by the wall
I laugh when I'm creeping
But you won't hear me at all

All hear my warning
Never turn your back
On the ripper

You'll soon shake with fear
Never knowing if I'm near
I'm sly and I'm shameless
Nocturnal and nameless
Except for "The Ripper"
Or if you like "Jack The Knife"

Any back alley street
Is where we'll probably meet
Underneath a gas lamp
Where the air's cold and damp
I'm a nasty surprise
I'm a devil in disguise
I'm a footstep at night
I'm a scream of the fright

All hear my warning
Never turn your back
On the ripper...the ripper....the ripper

Behold -- 'tis I, the commander
Whose grip controls you all!
Resist me not, surrender!
I'll no compassion call.

Tyrant -- Capture of humanity
Tyrant -- Conqueror of all
Tyrant -- Hideous destructor
Tyrant -- Every man shall fall

Your very lives are held within my fingers
I snap them, and you cower down in fear
You spineless things who belly down to slither
To the end of the world you follow to be near.

Tyrant -- Capture of humanity
Tyrant -- Conqueror of all
Tyrant -- Hideous destructor
Tyrant -- Every man shall fall

SOLO (KK)

Mourn for us oppressed in fear.
Chained and shackled, we are bound
Freedom choked; in dread we live
Since Tyrant was enthroned.

I listen not to sympathy
Whilst ruler of this land.
Withdraw your feeble aches and moans,
Or suffer smite from this my hand!

Tyrant -- Capture of humanity
Tyrant -- Conqueror of all
Tyrant -- Hideous destructor
Tyrant -- Every man shall fall

SOLO (Glenn)

Mourn for us oppressed in fear
Chained and shackled we are bound
Freedom choked in dread we live
Since Tyrant was enthroned

My legions faithful unto death
I'll summon to my court
And, as you perish, each of you
Shall scream as you are sought!

Tyrant -- Capture of humanity
Tyrant -- Conqueror of all
Tyrant -- Hideous destructor
Tyrant -- Every man shall fall

Whiskey woman don't you know that you are drivin' me insane
The liquor you give stems your will to live and gets right to my brain
Don't you know you're driving me insane
You're tryin' to find your way through life
You're tryin' to get some new direction
Another woman got her man
She won't find no new connection


Takes another drink or two, things look better when she's through

Takes another look around, you're not goin' anywhere
You've realized you're gettin' old and no one seems to care
You're tryin' to find your way again
You're tryin' to find some new...
Another woman's got her man
But she won't find a new...


Takes another drink or two, things look better when she's through


You 'bin foolin' with some hot guy
I want to know why is it why
Get up get out you know you really blew it
I've had enough, I've had enough, good God pluck me

He never felt that she cared
Turning to leave
Feeling her lonely stare
If only a secret love

Left more than a broken heart
Like a fool thnks he felt the start
Of what he hoped for so long

He waits though he knows she's gone
Alone he climbs
Until he falls

Only a secret love brings more than a broken heart

Like a fool I have played the part
Of what I hoped for so long
The need to belong...
In love

He never felt that she cared
Turning to leave
Feeling her lonely stare
If only a secret love

Left more than a broken heart
Like a fool thnks he felt the start
Of what he hoped for so long

He waits though he knows she's gone
Alone he climbs
Until he falls

Only a secret love brings more than a broken heart

Like a fool I have played the part
Of what I hoped for so long
The need to belong..
In love

All us boys like to drink and smoke
Pull off a joke
Blow your minds and leave
Hot tires behind

All us boys like to fight and kick
Carry a stick
We're getting older
And acting bolder

Chorus:
Mothers tell your daughters
To stay away from rock and roll
'Cause it may entice them
And mesmerize them
Even satisfy their soul

I'm sure mama told you 'bout making love
AnAnd the skies above
With its fallen angels
Diet pills
Female thrills
But mama never told you 'bout
All us boys

Chorus

All us boys just want to play
All us boys won't run away

All us boys like to drink and smoke
Pull off a joke
Blow your minds and leave
Hot tires behind

All us boys like to fight and kick

We're getting older
And acting bolder

Chorus:
Mothers tell your daughters
To stay away from rock and roll

Hydra

There was a man
He walked around
Searching for the girl who had just caught his eye
"I was a fool!" he cried
His mind had wandered
He blinked and the sky moved e'er so slightly
He searched the city and she was nowhere to be found
Meanwhile she was floating downward, downward

Chorus:
Do you want your freedom
Do you want my love
Do you want your freedom
From the one you're thinking of

There lies a lady
Naked and yet not knowing
A spell, it goains her heart forever
Preyed upon by the wolves in Time Square
Fell into an abyss of dead air
Innocence caged in sanctuary
There sat the Dragon Lord
Playing solitairy
Defying the rules the holy boys leap Hell's Kitchen

Chorus:
Do you want your freedom
Do you want my love
Do you want your freedom
From the man who lives above

Suddenly a voice was heard
Ina a flash the brave young man appeared
The Dragon will cut him with his tail
Chased him to the stairway
Caught him halfway to the top
Sent him whirling down
Fireball, summer solstice
Dragon Lord descended down on him
She turned to look but saw only darkness, silence

Chorus:
You don't want your freedom
You don't want my love
You don't want your throat cut
By the same I'm thinking of

There was a man
Who walked alone
Searching for the girl who had just caught his
"I was a fool!" he cried
His mind had wandered
He blinked and the sky moved ever so slightly
He searched the city
She was nowhere to be found
Meanwhile she was floating downward, downward

Do you want your freedom
Do you want my love
Do you want your freedom
From the one you're thinking of

There lies a lady
Naked and yet not knowing it
A spell had chained her heart forever
Pray upon by the wolves in Times Square
Feel into an abyss of thin air
Innocence caged in sanctuary
There sat the Dragon Lord
Playing solitairy
Defying the rules the holy boys leap Hell's Kitchen

Do you want your freedom
Do you want my love
Do you want your freedom
From the man who lives above

Suddenly a voice was heard
In a flash the brave young man appeared
The Dragon Lord will cut him with his tail
Chased him to the stairway
Caught him halfway to the top
Sent him whirling down
Fireballs, summer solstice
The Dragon Lord descended down on him
She turned to look but saw only darkness silence

You don't want your freedom
You don't want my love
You don't want your throat cut
By the same I'm thinking of

I've heard a lot of stories
So tell me if they're true
Oh I would die for you
Knowing that you're mine
You tell me that you're sorry
You say your heart is new
Oh I will cry for you
Call me and we'll dine
Chorus:
It's almost over Lorraine
Can you still feel the pain
Do you still want me to love you
It's such a funny day
Whoah oh oh
It's such a funny day

Tonight we sail for Paris
Where the streets are paved with gold
Your eyes have blessed my soul
Your lips, they've blessed the wine

We'll tame the Gulf of Lyons
I'll wed thee in Marseilles
We'll turn the moon to blood
If only there were time

Chorus

I've heard a lot of stories

Mama
I don't love you anymore
Money's
Got me crawlin' on the floor

Lover
I'm so ashamed that I must go
Funny
Somehow I thought by now you'd know

CHORUS
Girl you'd better take my hand
And say what you mean to say
(And she said)
"Stay as long as you can
But don't wait till you're thrown away."

Mama
Please throw me out in the cold
Woman
The love you bought waas never sold

CHORUS

Mama
I don't love you anymore
Sorry
I'm not the boy you're looking for

(See the girl with they eyes on fire
Now he know she's the one he desires)

Mama

Can you tell me where I might find the Hydra
Is he wearing a familiar face
Does he still live below Seventh Avenue
With the princess dipped in lace

Does he know that I'm a soldier of fortune
And not a victim of circumstance
We drew lots for his soft underbelly
Now his fate is sealed with my lance

CHORUS
I can tell by the look in your eye
You've never seen the man with nothing to say
I can tell by the look in your eye
You'd better watch yourself
St. George is on his way

Is it true that he's a mighty warrior
And a viper of the first degree
I've been sentenced here to slay the giant
Geld this fear I cannot see

Can you tell me where I might find the Hydra
Is he wearing a familiar face
Does he still live below Seventh Avenue
In the slums of Satan's grace

CHORUS

How can you say you love me
When you don't even love yourself
You live your life like a jagged knife
Just waiting on the shelf

How can you live for tomorrow
When you curse the night and day
The minutes pass through the hour glass
As you let them slip away

Chorus:
Do you love me
White sister
Do you love me when I play your game
Do you love me
White sister
Do you love me
When I call your name

How can you touch the sorrow
With a leather gloved hand
When you summon the winds of anger
Just as fast as you can

You crucify an orphan
With the rainbow in your eyes
Then you send out invitations
And address them with his cries

I don't even know what's right
I can say
That you put up some kind of fight
I've been branded
I've been stranded
I'm so thankful for what I've been handed
I wish I could say that you're mine
Such a card game

Chorus

How can you say you love me
When you don't even love yourself
You live your life like a jagged knife
Just waiting on the shelf

How can you live for tomorrow
When you curse the night and day
The minutes pass through the hour glass
As you let them slip away

Chorus:
Do you love me
White sister
Do you love me when I play your game
Do you love me
White sister
Do you love me
When I call your name

How can you touch the sorrow
With a leather gloved hand
When you summon the winds of anger
Just as fast as you can

You crucify an orphan
With the rainbow in your eyes
Then you send out invitations
And address them with his cries

I don't even know what's right
I can say
That you put up some kind of fight
I've been branded
I've been stranded
I'm so thankful for what I've been handed
I wish I could say that you're mine
Such a card game
