[instrumental]

You took your risk and then you tried
Hell ain't far, beware of this game
It seems nice, seems cool, it's your favorite pie
It's alright, it's okay, it relieves your pain

Reverse your pain into hate
Reverse your pain into hate

The streets you live on are your reign
You proved some friends crime sometimes pays
The night crawls deep into your mind
From dust to dust, it's the story of your life

Reverse your pain into hate
Reverse your pain into hate

You rolled the dice and now won the game
Hell's your prize, too late to cry
It was nice, it was cool, was your favorite pie
But the slice you ate had a stain

Reverse your pain into hate
Reverse your pain into hate

Tell those stories to me
I'm dying to hear the things you've done and seen
Farfetched as they may be
You strike a smile in me
Your stories ring of perjury
Constructed of self empowering theme

Sucking on my brain
You're the teacher, I'm the student
Turning things around
You story's not congruent
Tabloid decoys
Pitiful excuses
Turning things around
You're turning things around!

A manic stunning scene
I'm taking notes
You're taking me away
Into your false reality
I know your comfort lies in lying
To try to make your life make sense
But you're not making sense

Sucking on my brain
You're the teacher, I'm the student
Turning things around
You story's not congruent
Tabloid decoys
Pitiful excuses
Turning things around
You're turning things around!

I'd say it aloud
But I'm not allowed
I see your head
Spin round and round
Broken record talk tonight
Skip that needle back and forth on your mind
Wearing out unconvincing lies

Like a seedling dropped from and old oak tree
Your shade don't hide no sun from me
Fake stories humor me
It's graduation time
I love you like a mother

Sucking on my brain
You're the teacher, I'm the student
Turning things around
You story's not congruent
Tabloid decoys
Pitiful excuses
Turning things around
You're turning things around!

My angel is leaving me
I'm ready to fall
Heat now is haunting me
To annihilate my soul
The flames are growing
Just 'cause of you
The ground is burning
I'll burn for you

The story's not over
Gonna exhale in air
The story's not over
Gonna exhale in air

Remember one day you're gonna fall
Your power is gonna fall
Your power is torn

Sulphur invades the air
Nothing is clear
Injection of fear for me
Please say a prayer

The flames are growing
Just 'cause of you
The ground is burning
I'll burn for you

The story's not over
Gonna exhale in air
The story's not over
Gonna exhale in air

Remember one day you're gonna fall
Your power is gonna fall
Your power is torn

Million things to say, million brains to waste
Million my mistakes, million things never change
Millions make you talk, millions make you walk
Millions heal your pain, millions and a life can change

Within your life, can't live without 'em
Within your mind, you're addicted

Can't exchange a coin for life

When you're feeling sick, when you need a brick
To wash away a stain, or if there's something in your brain
The need to change a gear, or maybe disappear
Just only for a beer, money! and everything is clear

Within your life, can't live without 'em
Within your mind, you're addicted

Can't exchange a coin for life

Losing faith day after day
Thinking of what the wise man said to me
I'm too shy to tell the truth
Better turn to another page

And in the night, my darkened sight
Can imagine you

Come to me
With your brand new pair of wings

Day by day people say I'm sick
I don't believe, but someone can create you now
I'm afraid to stir the phial
But you're afraid to spread your wings...

And in the night, my darkened sight
Can imagine you

Come to me
With your brand new pair of wings

Now I'm here waiting for a sign
Wasted time, I know that you'll never show
My opinion doesn't count much
But no one ever saw your face

And in the night, my darkened sight
Can imagine you

Come to me
With your brand new pair of wings

I'm in mood for breaking some rules
I'm in shape for beating my ghosts
I will bend but never will break
Living in the maximum level of pain
Part of me, part of my soul
Will never cry, never let go

And the dark is now descending
My inner strength is bending
This torture's everlasting
And part of my soul is torn apart

Trying to appease this sense of hate
This monkey on my back is tough to beat
Friends now help me to find my way
This dishonour is my bundle to bring

Part of me, part of my soul
Will never cry, never let go

And the dark is now descending
My inner strength is bending
This torture's everlasting
And part of my soul is torn apart

[originally performed by The Knack]

Ooh, my little pretty one, my pretty one
When you gonna give me some time, Sharona
Ooh, you make my motor run, my motor run
Got it coming off o' the line, Sharona

Never gonna stop, give it up, such a dirty mind
I always get it up, for the touch of the younger kind
My, my, my, aye-aye, whoa!
M-m-m-my Sharona

Come a little closer, huh, a-will ya, huh?
Close enough to look in my eyes, Sharona
Keeping it a mystery, it gets to me
Running down the length of my thigh, Sharona

Never gonna stop, give it up, such a dirty mind
I always get it up, for the touch of the younger kind
My, my, my, aye-aye, whoa!
M-m-m-my Sharona
M-m-m-my Sharona

When you gonna give to me, a gift to me
Is it just a matter of time, Sharona?
Is it d-d-destiny, d-destiny
Or is it just a game in my mind, Sharona?

Never gonna stop, give it up, such a dirty mind
I always get it up, for the touch of the younger kind
My, my, my, aye-aye, whoa!
M-m-m-m-m-m-m-my, my, my, aye-aye, whoa!

M-m-m-my Sharona
M-m-m-my Sharona
M-m-m-my Sharona
M-m-m-my Sharona

Ooooooo-ohhh, my Sharona
Ooooooo-ohhh, my Sharona
Ooooooo-ohhh, my Sharona

Toys left on the shelf
The pillow on the floor
A squeak comes from the door
Believe me, please ignore
This image in your mind
Just leave your grief behind

So tell me why you look behind
Irwin!

Image of disgrace
Don't look behind
Blood on your face
Flood in your mind

"Them" whisper to you
This torment never ends
A scar deep in your brain
Gotta wash this filth away

So tell me why you look behind!
Irwin!

Image of disgrace
Don't look behind
Blood on your face
Flood in your mind

Don't look behind
Blood on your eyes

So tell me why you look behind!
Irwin!
