Kill the ghost
That hides in your soul Rock 'n' Roll Rock 'n' Roll Rock Rock Wipe the blood from your Halo open wound that you hide your shadow's pride Spit in the face of the ugly clown Who'll hunt you down But you can't hide Exterminate the future Kill the ghost That hides in your soul Rock 'n' Roll Kill the ghost That hides in your soul Rock 'n' Roll Whispers of the future Broken meth in your skull with a hook in your smile Exterminate the future Kill the ghost That hides in your soul Kill the ghost That hides in your soul You can't run from the future You can't change the past You're not that fast You can't run from the future You can't change the past Not that fast Kill the ghost That hides in your soul Kill the ghost That hides in your soul Kill the ghost That hides in your soul Kill Rock 'n' Roll 02. Crucify the Dead
The fire started long ago
The flames burned out, still embers glow So charred and black There's nothing left to burn, to burn We had the same dream Lived life to extreme A loaded gun jammed by a rose The thorns are knots around your head Your ego cursed you till you bled You cannot crucify the dead To me you're dead, yeah The future is unset in stone Decisions past leave you alone Betrayed us all with your own selfish greed, your greed, yeah New soldiers now say That your beggars collect Re-crucified and paid by you The thorns are knots around your head Your ego cursed you till you bled You cannot crucify the dead To me you're dead, yeah We were like brothers with the world in our hands You always have too much to say Someday you look back and you wonder why You let it all slip away, yeah Crucify the dead Crucify the dead The thorns are knots around your head Your ego cursed you till you bled You cannot crucify the dead To me you're dead, yeah 03. Beautiful Dangerous
I don't know who you are now
Mystery drenches my brain I wanna jump deep into your cloud 'Cause something tells me it's gonna rain I hear the thunder thumping And my heart starts jumping And that's when I spin on the pole Now my head's exploding And your gun is loaded So I'm guessing I'm on a roll Well it's a fine time Looking for a wine time man And you said, "Baby, you ready to play? Well, come ride on this roller coaster 'Cause it ain't over, it ain't over" Rebel of this party I'm in love with all your danger, danger We can live forever I can be your naked angel, angel Beautiful Dangerous You like it smooth like brandy Savour the flavour with delight You can be Sid, I'll be Nancy 'Cause sometimes it's more fun to fight Rebel of this party I'm in love with all your danger, danger We can live forever I can be your naked angel, angel Beautiful Dangerous 04. Back from Cali
Woke up this morning all alone
I got a ringing in my head I couldn't take it anymore today She left me here for dead Ohh Woah yeah yeah... And it should come as no surprise I shoulda known it form the start The lights are faded and I can't deny This place ain't got no heart Oh if you can hear me tonight If you can hear me tonight You'll have to carry me back from Cali I'm tired and broken and I lost my way You'll have to carry me back to where I belong You'll have to carry me back from Cali I don't want money, I don't need no fame You'll have to carry me back to where I belong I got to leave this angel city But I can't do it by myself So if you please, mama, can you save me Before I blow this life to hell Oh Mama, grab me by the feet and just drag me home You'll have to carry me back from Cali I don't care if you think I'm to blame You'll have to carry me back to where I belong You'll have to carry me back from Cali The angel city where the devils play You'll have to carry me back to where I belong Yeah... If you can hear me tonight If you can hear me tonight If you can hear me tonight If you can hear me tonight I've lost my way, I'm so alone And all I want is to come home. 05. Promise
The first time I ever saw you
You had that far away look in your eyes And heaven's eyes shined down upon you And the whole room filled up with light Now the cruel world it's gonna try and change you Try to hang you up and mess with your pride Now the rich just try to chain you You got to keep your fire burning inside Promise me You won't let them put out your fire Put out your fire Promise me You won't let them put out your fire Put out your fire Now sometimes the world tries to slap you And it seems to love watching you fall I wont lie to you, it's gonna happen You got to pick yourself up and move on Promise me You won't let them put out your fire Put out your fire Promise me You won't let them put out your fire Put out your fire Which star will I be thinking of tonight Tonight Which star will I be thinking of tonight Tonight Promise me You won't let them put out your fire Put out your fire You won't let them put out your fire Put out your fire Promise me (Why don't you) Promise me (Why don't you) Promise me (Why don't you) Promise me (Why don't you) 06. By the Sword
With the horses that you ride,
And the feelings left inside, Comes a time you need to leave all that behind, Well they claim they'd like to know, And they'll fight you there to go, And they're gatherin' around for all the show, Well there is a reward, To live and die by the sword, Well they tried to complicate you, But you left it all behind, All the worldly possessions, Are left for recollections, And finally it's all gone! They're releasing all the hounds, What is lost can still be found, When you're walking with your fear down on the ground, Well there's those who choose to run Following the setting sun, And now it seems the journey's has begun, Well there is a reward, To live and die by the sword, Well they tried to complicate you, But you left it all behind, All the worldly possessions, Are left for recollections, And finally it's all gone! With the horses that you ride, And the feelings left inside, there's a time you need to leave it all behind, Well there is no reward, To live and die by the sword, Well they tried to complicate you, But you left it all behind, All the worldly possessions, Are left for recollections, And finally it's all gone! 07. Gotten
So nice to see your face again
Tell me how long has it been Since you've been here (since you've been here) You look so different than before But still the person I adore Frozen with fear I'm out of love but I'll take it from the past I'll let out words cause I'm sure It'll never last And I've been saving These last words for one last miracle But now I'm not sure I can't save you if You don't let me You just get me like I never Been gotten before Maybe it's the bitter wind A chill from the Pacific rim That brought you this way (that brought you my way) Do not make me think of him The way he touch your fragile skin That hunts me everyday I'm out of love but I can't forget the past I'm out of words but I'm sure it'll never last And I've been saving These last words for one last miracle But now I'm not sure I can't save you if You don't let me You just get me like I never Been gotten before Like I never been gotten before So nice to see you face again But tell me will this ever end? Don't disappear And I've been saving These last words for one last miracle But now I'm not sure I can't save you if You don't let me You just get me like I never Been gotten before Like I never been gotten before 08. Doctor Alibi
I went to see the doctor
He said you're pretty sick You got some real bad habits You'd better stop right quick I said doctor that's real bad news Don't know what I'm gonna do Doctor There's nothin' wrong with me Doctor doctor Can't you see Doctor I ain't gonna die Just write me an alibi I went to see a shaman He said you'll be alright Just keep doin' what you love Every single night I said that's what I need to hear Took away my childish fears Doctor You're a stand up guy Doctor doctor My oh my Doctor You're the one for me That's the mojo that I need Don't you know that I feel alright Doin' what I do I ain't gonna tow the line Not till' I turn blue All I got is one short life That's what people say And I ain't gonna waste a second Doin' what you say I won't be the one you like I won't be the boy next door I won't be the chosen one That's not what I'm here for I don't like the way you are I despise what you hold dear Don't you try to make me change I'll haunt you for a thousand years Doctor Don't you talk that way Doctor Don't you mess my day Doctor Stay away from me Sick is what I'd rather be Doctor Doctor doctor death Doctor Doctor out of breath Doctor I ain't gonna die Just write me an alibi 09. Watch This
(instrumental)
10. I Hold On
I feel your comfort in my dreams
Unprotected silent screams A light beyond your shadow beams Still I don't know what it means When seasons change Memories remain I hold on because I won't let go Even though I know there's solitude below I hold on because I can't let go And I refuse to let the hands of fate unfold I hold on And when the darkness turns to day I won't let you drift away Conscience fades and some let go But I hang on cause I know When seasons change Memories remain I hold on because I won't let go Even though I know there's solitude below I hold on because I can't let go I refuse to let the hands of fate unfold No, no I refuse to let the hands of fate unfold I hold on I hold on I refuse to let the hands of fate unfold Oh, I hold on 11. Nothing to Say
We seem so lost and jaded
Well what a price to pay Fear can be overstated, and you seem infatuated with finding who's to blame. While it can seem so hard now, I got a feeling we ain't meant to live this way. Don't tell me it's too late, cause I feel it too, we all love to hate and let others lead the way. Some searching to find That love with a new piece of mind. And still we push further away, Singing our songs of yesterday. While so much still stands in our way, Voices with nothing to say. Some feel that life's a favour, While some don't have the time. Wash up and kiss the alter, All hail the mighty father, but love will keep you blind. Same questions we keep asking, Won't hear the answers cause we're scared of what we'll find We try and compensate through our troubled faith that should keep us safe and keep searching for a sign. Some searching to find That love with a new piece of mind. And still still we march further away, Singing our songs of yesterday. While so much still stands in our way, Voices with nothing to say. There won't be another day, no changing of the seasons, And no one's gonna save us from the lies. The greatest story ever told, Is only what you make it. There will be struggle and fear, All by design And still we march further away (We've been so logicated) Singing our songs of yesterday (Nothing's got all the blame) While so much still stands in our way (Yeahhhh!) Voices with nothing to say 12. Starlight
In the distance light years from tomorrow
Far beyond yesterday She is watching, heart aching with sorrow She is broken is broken, as she waits Hoping when all is said and done we can learn to love and be as one Oh Starlight, don't you cry we gonna make it right before tomorrow Oh Starlight, don't you cry we're gonna find a place where we belong (where we belong) And so you know, we'll never shine alone There are shadows sleeping on the horizon Leave us scared and so afraid As the fall out of a world divided It brings her tears and so much pain And so we take cover from the dark Hoping to find where we can start Oh Starlight, don't you cry we gonna make it right before tomorrow Oh Starlight, don't you cry we're gonna find a place where we belong (where we belong) And so you know, you'll never shine alone Starlight we'll find a place where we belong You will see when the mountains fall and turn to dust There's one thing that can't change I believe there's something within each over us that always says That will always remain as long as love never pains Oh Starlight, don't you cry we gonna make it right before tomorrow Oh Starlight, don't you cry we're gonna find a place where we belong (where we belong) And so you know, you'll never shine alone Starlight we'll find a place where we belong (we belong) She is watching, heart aching with sorrow She is broken is broken, as she waits 13. Saint Is a Sinner Too
Hold my hands down
So they don't In case you don't know A saint is a sinner too Blind my eyes so they So I can't see What coming for you Is coming for me I hear the choir sing Calling me on back to you And I forget now just what I'm supposed to do When a saint is a sinner too I hear the choir sing Calling me on back to you And I forget now just what I'm supposed to do When a saint is a sinner too A saint is a sinner too Hold hold my hands down Hold my hands down I don't reach I don't reach So I don't reach for you Oh oh A saint is a sinner too 14. We're All Gonna Die
Gee, I really like your tits
I'll say anything that fits We carry our vision Wherever we go If you keep your mouth shut It's still gonna show We're all gonna die So let's get high We're all gonna die So let's be nice I'm in the mood So let's intrude Pee on the ground And jump around I'm getting sick of paying bills I need my doctor, I need my pills We carry our women Wherever we go If you keep their mouth shut They're gonna moan (Mhm) We're all gonna die So let's get high We're all gonna die So let's be nice I'm in the mood So let's intrude Pee on the ground (heh heh) And jump around Life is demanding But I'm just a bum And if I respect it, boy I feel dumb! We're all gonna die So let's get high We're all gonna die So let's be nice I'm in the mood So let's intrude Pee on the ground And jump around We're all gonna die! (We're all gonna die) (We're all gonna die) (I wanna, I wanna, I wanna whip it out and pee on the ground!) (We're all gonna die) 15. Sahara
(Hey Hey Hey....)
Noises from the street Stains on the wall Secretly meeting behind it all Voices from the heart Heat on the velvet skin Classic dancer's sign Lighting up the sky Sorry, I don't remember anything about you (anything about you) Everything is gone now And I'll set you free (I'll set you free) (Oh) What I made of Just looking like a loser to me (Hey Hey Hey....) I know it was you who fell asleep first There was nothing new breaking the silent peace You know it was me all talking no action I just wonder why you stayed with me Sorry, I don't remember anything about you (anything about you) Everything is gone now What am I gonna do? (What can I do?) (Oh) This time it's got me down Baby I've gotta see you through (Ohhh Yeah!!) (Ahh Ahh Ahh) Some kind of jealous guy but I was never losing my mind (losing my mind) Whatever it took inside, I wanted to tie you down and make you mine (HEY!! YEAH!!) (Oh) Sorry, I don't remember anything about you (anything about you) Blown up and gone now Ain't nothing new (Ain't nothing new) (Oh) Can't do this anymore Lying to myself I can't let go... about anything about you (anything about you) Everything is ruined Got nothing to lose (nothing to lose) (Uh) Gotta let you know You're the only one to save my soul (Hey Hey Hey....) 16. Paradise City
Just an urchin living under the street
I'm a hard case, real tough to beat I'm your charity case So buy me something to eat I'll pay you at another time Take it to the end of the line Rags to riches or so they say You got to keep pushing for the fortune and fame you know it It's all a gamble when it's just a game You treat it like a capital crime Everybody's doing their time Take me down To the Paradise City Where the grass is green And the girls are pretty Oh, won't you please take me home Take me down To the paradise city Where the grass is green And the girls are pretty Take me home Strapped in the chair of the city's gas chamber Why I'm here I can't quite remember The surgeon general says it's hazardous to breathe I'd smoke another cigarette but I can't see Tell me who you're going to believe Take me down To the Paradise City Where the grass is green And the girls are pretty Take me home Take me down To the Paradise City Where the grass is green And the girls are pretty Oh, won't you please take me home So far away So far away So far away So far away Captain America's been torn apart now he's a court jester with a broken heart He said - "Turn me around and take me back to the start" I must be losing my mind - "Are you blind?!" I've seen it all a million times Take me down To the Paradise City Where the grass is green And the girls are pretty Take me home Take me down To the Paradise City Where the grass is green And the girls are pretty Oh, won't you please take me home I want to go I want to know Oh, won't you please take me home I want to see Oh, look at me Oh, won't you please take me home Take me down To the Paradise city Where the grass is green And the girls are pretty Take me home Take me down To the Paradise City Where the grass is green And the girls are pretty Oh, won't you please take me home Take me down Beat me down Oh, won't you please take me home I want to see Oh, look at me Oh, won't you please take me home I want to see Boy, I'm going to be mean Oh, oh take me home Take me down To the Paradise City Where the grass is green And the girls are pretty Oh, won't you please take me home I want to go I want to know Oh, won't you please take me home Yeah, baby Yeah 17. Mother Maria
For everyone I loved and every road I've known
For all the trash I won I celebrate... alone Sit up straight, stupid, bite your tongue The best that I am is said and done Screams and whispers Tell her I no longer hear her! Mother Mary, she don't talk to me Mother Mary, she don't talk to me "Give her my apologies" "And tell her not to cry" Mother Maria I holler like a king trying to keep his throne But chewing on a stone is the only thing I own Drugs and lovers Nothing left under the covers Mother Mary, she don't talk to me Mother Mary, she don't talk to me "Give her my apologies" "And tell her not to cry" Mother Maria Anything you want Anything you need I give it all I got Your attention please! You never want it me You never wanted me! Sleep with me Just for the bitter part About me Living's hardly Living's hardly Tell her I no longer want it Mother Mary, she don't talk to me Mother Mary, she don't talk to me "Give her all apologies" It's Mother Mary, she don't talk to me! I still don't hear her voice I still can't hear her voice I don't deserve her So tell her not to cry Tell her not to cry Tell her not to cry! Mother Maria 18. Baby Can't Drive
My Baby's fixin' her face,
Doing her hair, Runnin' red lights in her underwear. She likes to step on the gas, Put her foot to the floor, Music to her ears when the engines roar. There ain't much she can't do; Anything I wanna do But when I turn my back I'm a mean speed demon heart attack Baby Can't Drive, Baby Can't Drive I'm a million miles away Doin' a hundred and five If you wanna survive, Try and get there alive Baby Can't Drive, Baby Can't Drive I got my red lips on, Makin' the stereo bleed. Texting my girls While I'm driving with my knee I'm doing my nails, I'm paintin' them black Cause baby's hit the road And there's no goin' back My knuckles turning white Cause baby wants to drive all night My Hair is turning grey Cause baby wants to drive all day Baby Can't Drive, Baby Can't Drive I'm a million miles away Doing a hundred and five If you wanna survive, Try and get there alive Baby Can't Drive, Baby Can't Drive Yeah, yeah Baby can't drive, Baby can't drive Yeah, yeah yeah Baby Can't Drive, Baby Can't Drive I'm a million miles away Doin' a hundred and five If you wanna survive, Try and get there alive Baby Can't Drive, Baby Can't Drive Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby can't drive You know I love you baby, But baby can't drive You just can't drive I never said I could Uh-uh, not my car.... |
