Rocky Mountain Way

[Joe Walsh cover]

Spent the last year
Rocky Mountain way
Couldn’t get much higher
Out to pasture
Think it’s safe to say
Time to open fire

And we don’t need the ladies
Cryin’ ’cause the story’s sad
‘Cause the Rocky Mountain way
Is better than the way we had.

Well he’s tellin’ us this
And he’s tellin’ us that
Changes it ev’ry day
Says it doesn’t matter
Bases are loaded
And Casey’s at bat
Playin’ it play by play
Time to change the batter

And we don’t need the ladies
Cryin’ ’cause the story’s sad
‘Cause the Rocky Mountain way
Is better than the way we had.

Yeah, yeah, yeah

In My Life

[The Beatles cover]

There are places I remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I’ve loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I’ll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I’ll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more

Though I know I’ll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I’ll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
In my life I love you more

Mississippi Queen

[Mountain cover]

Mississippi queen, if you know what I mean
Mississippi queen, she taught me everything
Way down around Vicksburg, around Louisiana way
Where lived the Cajun lady, aboard the Mississippi Queen
You know she was a dancer, she moved better on wine

While the rest of them dudes were gettin’ their kicks
Boy, I beg your pardon, I was gettin’ mine

Mississippi queen, if you know what I mean
Mississippi queen, she taught me everything
This lady she asked me, if I would be her man
You know that I told her, I’d do what I can
To keep her lookin’ pretty, buy her dresses that shine

While the rest of them dudes were makin’ their friends
Boy, I beg your pardon, I was losin’ mine

I was losin’ my mind, on the Mississippi Queen

Mississippi queen, if you know what I mean
Mississippi queen, she taught me everything

Way down around Vicksburg, around Louisiana way
Where lived the Cajun lady, aboard the Mississippi Queen
You know she was a dancer. she moved better on wine
While the rest of them dudes were gettin’ their kicks
Boy, I beg your pardon, I was gettin’ mine

I was gettin’ mine
I was gettin’ mine

No, you can’t have mine
No no, you can’t have mine
To keep a mississippi queen

Go Now

[Moody Blues cover]

We’ve already said goodbye
Since you gotta go, oh you better
Go now, go now, go now, go now
Go, before you see me cry
I don’t want you to tell me just what you intend to do now
’cause how many times do I have to tell you darlin’,
I’m still in love with you now
Whoa-oh-oh-oh

We’ve already said so-long
I don’t wanna see you go, oh you better
Go now, go now, go now, go now
Don’t you even try
Tellin’ me that you don’t want me to end up this way
’cause darlin’, darlin’, can’t you see I want you to stay, stay

We’ve already said goodbye
Since you gotta go, oh you better
Go now, go now, go now, go now
Go, go!

I don’t want you to tell me just what you intend to do now
’cause how many times do I have to tell you darling,
I’m still in love still in love with you now

Woman

[John Lennon cover]

Woman I can hardly express,
My mixed emotions and my thoughtlessness,
After all I’m forever in your debt,
And woman I will try to express,
My inner feelings and my thankfulness,
For showing me the meaning of success,
Oooh well, well, do do do do do do
Oooh well, well, do do do do do do

Woman I know you understand
The little child inside the man,
Please remember my life is in your hands,
And woman hold me close to your heart,
However distant don’t keep us apart,
After all it is written in the stars,
Oooh well, well, do do do do do do
Oooh well, well, do do do do do do

Woman please let me explain,
I never meant to cause you sorrow and pain,
So let me tell you again and again and again,
I love you (yeah, yeah) now and forever,
I love you (yeah, yeah) now and forever,
I love you (yeah, yeah) now and forever,
I love you (yeah, yeah) now and forever

21st Century Schizoid Man

[King Crimson cover]

Cat’s foot iron claw
Neuro-surgeons scream for more
At paranoia’s poison door.
Twenty first century schizoid man.

Blood rack barbed wire
Polititians’ funeral pyre
Innocents raped with napalm fire
Twenty first century schizoid man

Twenty first century
Twenty first century
Twenty first century
Twenty first century schizoid man

Death seed blind man’s greed
Poets’ starving children bleed
Nothing he’s got he really needs
Twenty first century schizoid man.

Twenty first century
Twenty first century schizoid man
Twenty first century schizoid man

Welcome to the twenty first century

All The Young Dudes

[Mott the Hoople cover]

Billy rapped all night about his suicide
How he’d kick it in the head when he was 25
Sweet guy, don’t wanna stay alive when you’re 25

Wendy’s stealing clothes from marks and sparks
Freddy’s got spots from ripping off stars from his face
Funky little boat race
The television man is crazy
Saying we’re juvenile delinquent wrecks
Oh man I need tv when I’ve got t. rex

All the young dudes (hey dudes)
Carry the news (where are ya)
Boogaloo dudes (stand up come on)
Carry the news
All the young dudes (I want to hear you)
Carry the news (I want to see you)
Boogaloo dudes (and I want to talk to you all of you)
Carry the news

Now jimmy looking sweet though he dresses like a queen
He can kick like a mule
It’s a real mean team
We can love
We can love
And my brother’s back at home
With his beatles and his stones
We never got if off on that revolution stuff
It was such a drag, too many snags
Well I drunk a lot of wine
And I’m feeling fine
Gonna race some cat to bed
Is this concrete all around me, or is it in my head?

All the young dudes (hey dudes)
Carry the news (where are ya)
Boogaloo dudes (stand up)
Carry the news
All the young dudes (I want to hear ya)
Carry the news (I want to see you)
Boogaloo dudes (and I want to relate to you)
Carry the news

The television man is crazy
Saying we’re juvenile delinquent wrecks
Oh man I need tv when I’ve got t. rex

Carry the news (let’s hear the news come on)
Boogaloo dudes (I want to kick you)
Carry the news
All the young dudes (hey you there with the glasses)
Carry the news (I want you)
Boogaloo dudes (I want you at the front)
Carry the news (now you all his friends)
All the young dudes (now you bring him down cause I want him)

Boogaloo dudes (I want him right here bring him come on)
Carry the news (bring him here you go)
All the young dudes (I’ve wanted to do this for years)
Carry the news (there you go)
Boogaloo dudes (how do you feel)
Carry the news

For What It’s Worth

[Buffalo Springfield cover]

There’s something happening here
What it is ain’t exactly clear
There’s a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware

I think it’s time we stop, children, what’s that sound
Everybody look what’s going down

Battle lines being drawn
Nobody’s right if everyone’s wrong
People speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind

Yeah, stop children, what’s that sound
Everybody look what’s going down

What a field-day for the heat
Ten thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side

I think it’s time we stop, children, what’s that sound
Everybody look what’s going down

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you’re always afraid
Step out of line, the man come and take you away

Stop, children, what’s that sound
Everybody look what’s going down
Stop, hey, what’s that sound
Everybody look what’s going down

You better stop!
Stop
You better stop!
Stop
You better stop!

Good Times

[Eric Burdon cover]

When I think of all the good times that I’ve wasted having good times
When I think of all the good times that ‘s been wasted having good times

When I was drinking
I should’ve been thinking
When I was fighting
I could’ve done the right thing
All of that boozing
I was really losing
Good times
Good times

When I think of all the good time that’s been wasted having good times
When I think of all the good time that we wasted having good times

All of my lying
I remember her crying
All of the talking
I could’ve been walking
Instead of complaining
I could’ve been gaining
Good times

Useless talking
All that walking
All of my sinning
I could’ve been winning
I have it too easy
And its a beginning of a good time
Good times

When I was drinking
I should’ve been thinking
When I was fighting
I could’ve done the right thing
All of that boozing
When I was really losing
All of my sinning
I could’ve been winning

Oh yeah, I am ready for a good time

Cheers!

Sunshine Of Your Love

[Cream cover]

It’s getting near dawn
When lights close their tired eyes
I’ll soon be with you my love
To give you my dawn surprise
I’ll be with you darling soon
I’ll be with you when the stars start falling

I’ve been waiting so long
To be where I’m going
In the sunshine of your love

I’m with you my love,
The light’s shining through on you
I’m with you my love
It’s the morning and just we two

I’ll be with you darling now
I’ll be with you till my seas are dried up

I’ve been waiting so long
To be where I’m going
In the sunshine of your love

I’m with you my love,
The light’s shining through on you
I’m with you my love
It’s morning and just we two

I’ll be with you darling now
I’ll be with you till my seas are dried up… dried up

I’ve been waiting so long
I’ve been waiting so long
I’ve been waiting so long
To be where I’m going
In the sunshine of your love

Fire

[Arthur Brown cover]

I am the god of hell fire and I bring you…
Fire, I’ll take you to burn.
Fire, I’ll take you to learn.
I’ll see you burn!
You fought hard and you saved and learned,
But all of it’s gonna burn.
And your mind, your tiny mind,
You know you’ve really been so blind.
Now’s your time burn your mind.
You’re falling far too far behind.
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, you gonna burn!
Fire, to destroy all you’ve done.
Fire, to end all you’ve become.
I’ll feel you burn!

You’ve been living like a little girl,
In the middle of your little world.
And your mind, your tiny mind,
You know you’ve really been so blind.
Now’s your time burn your mind,
You’re falling far too far behind.

Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no,

Fire, I’ll take you to burn.
Fire, I’ll take you to learn.
You’re going to burn!
You’re going to burn!
You’re going to burn!
You’re going to burn! burn! burn! burn!

Fire, I’ll take you to burn.
Fire, I’ll take you to learn.
Fire, to end all you’ve become.
Fire, I’ll watch you burn

I am the god of hell fire, ha ha ha ha ha!

Working Class Hero

[John Lennon cover]

As soon as your born they make you feel small,
By giving you no time instead of it all,
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all,
A working class hero is something to be,

They hurt you at home and they hit you at school,
They hate you if you’re clever and they despise a fool,
Till you’re so fucking crazy you can’t follow their rules,
A working class hero is something to be,

When they’ve tortured and scared you for twenty odd years,
Then they expect you to pick a career,
When you can’t really function you’re so full of fear,
A working class hero is something to be,

Keep you doped with religion and sex and tv,
And you think you’re so clever and you’re classless and free,
But you’re still fucking peasants as far as I can see,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.

There’s room at the top they are telling you still,
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill,
If you want to be like the fool on the hill,
A working class hero is something to be.
A working class hero is something to be.
If you want to be a hero, well just follow me

Sympathy For The Devil

[Rolling Stones cover]

Please allow me to introduce myself
I’m a man of wealth and taste
I’ve been around for a long, long time
Stole many a man’s soul and faith
And I was around when jesus christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
But what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

I stuck around st. petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank
Held a general’s rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank

Oh, pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
But what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made
I shouted who killed the kennedys?
After all it was you and me
Let me introduce myself
I’m a man of wealth and taste
I laid traps for the troubadours
Who get killed before they reached bombay

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name
But what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah

Every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners are saints
Heads is tails
Just call me lucifer
I’m in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I’ll lay your soul to waste

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name
But what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

What’s my name?
What’s my name?
What’s my name?
I am lucifer
Wooooooo
Alright you mother fucker’s
What’s my name?
What’s my name?
Come on baby, come on baby, come on baby, come on baby,

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

Gets Me Through

I’m not the kind of person you think I am
I’m not the anti-christ or the iron man
I have a vision that I just can’t control
I feel I’ve lost my spirit and sold my soul
Got no control

I try to entertain you the best I can
I wish I’d started walking before I ran
But I still love the feeling I get from you
I hope you’ll never stop cause it gets me through yeah
It gets me through yeah

The feelings that I hide behind
Sometimes reality’s unkind
The nightmares stalk for me at night
I dread the long and lonely nights

I’m not the kind of person you think I am
I’m not the anti-christ or the iron man
But I still love the feeling I get from you
I hope you’ll never stop cause it gets me through yeah

I’m just trying live yeah
I’m just trying live yeah
I’m just trying live yeah
I’m just trying live yeah

Facing Hell

You make promise of protection
To a future after life
To the final resurrection
And to eternal paradise

But then I’m blinded with temptation
And to every mortal sin
Is it God that sits there waiting?
Or will the darkness suck me in

Let’s wake up the dead
Oh yeah
It’s better that never you know
More tears are shed
Oh yeah
I’m praying that you’ll never know
That I’m facing hell

Oh the children sit and listen
The belief was in their eyes
In a land without tomorrows
Through the night you hear their cries

But then your eyes just skip the pages
Of a book that never ends
Is it God that sits there waiting?
Do you hear the call again?

Let’s wake up the dead
Oh yeah
It’s better that never you know
More tears are shed
Oh yeah
I’m praying that you’ll never know
That I’m facing hell

It’s just crazy world we live in
And I’m out of my mind
You pray tomorrow but your leaving today
Evil one is coming and he’s knocking your door
Cause todays the day you’ll pay

Let’s wake up the dead
Oh yeah
It’s better that never you know
More tears are shed
Oh yeah
I’m praying that you’ll never know

Let’s wake up the dead
Oh yeah
It’s better that never you know
More tears are shed
Oh yeah
I’m praying that you’ll never know

That I’m facing hell
That I’m facing hell
That I’m facing hell
That I’m facing hell

Dreamer

Gazing through the window at the world outside
Wondering will mother earth survive
Hoping that mankind will stop abusing her sometime

After all there’s only just the two of us
And here we are still fighting for our lives
Watching all of history repeat itself
Time after time

I’m just a dreamer
I dream my life away
I’m just a dreamer
Who dreams of better days

I watch the sun go down like everyone of us
I’m hoping that the dawn will bring a sign
A better place for those Who will come after us …
This time

I’m just a dreamer
I dream my life away oh yeah
I’m just a dreamer
Who dreams of better days

Your higher power may be God or Jesus Christ
It doesn’t really matter much to me
Without each others help there ain’t no hope for us
I’m living in a dream of fantasy
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

If only we could all just find serenity
It would be nice if we could live as one
When will all this anger, hate and bigotry …
Be gone?

I’m just a dreamer
I dream my life away
Today
I’m just a dreamer
Who dreams of better days
Okay
I’m just a dreamer
Who’s searching for the way
Today
I’m just a dreamer
Dreaming my life away
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

No Easy Way Out

Looking to the mirror
From the other side
Seeing her reflection
And it blows my mind
Trying to deny it
But damage is done
I’ll just run as always
But the race is run

You’ve got to tell me it’s over now
I’m trapped inside of a dream
The crushing weight on my shoulders now
Is bearing down and it seems
There’s just no easy way out
No easy way out

Read the daily fiction, Superman is dead
Crushing coins of silver, imitating lead (?)
Then if you will fix the children of the past (?)
I guess their’s isn’t welcome, doesn’t time move fast (?)

You’ve got to tell me it’s over now
I’m trapped inside of a dream
The crushing weight on my shoulders now
Is bearing down and it seems
There’s just no easy way out
No easy way out

Night in the shadow of man
This is the dawn of the dead
Don’t let it live in your head
And then now as the sabbath begins
It wakes your nightmare again
So run away if you can
So just run
Run as fast as you can

You’ve got to tell me it’s over now
I’m trapped inside of a dream
The crushing weight on my shoulders now
Is bearing down and it seems
There’s just no easy way out

Too late too tell me it’s over now
Falling apart at the seams
No angel sits on my shoulders now
I hold my head and it screams
There’s just no easy way out
No easy way out

That I Never Had

All these tears I cry
Don’t you wonder why
Is it all a dream
Never what it seems
Gets under my skin
Should I let you in
Don’t you think it’s bad
To give me something that I never had

Every word I say
Everytime I pray
Look into my eyes
Distant voices cry
Is there light in me
Tell me what you see
You are what I have
Can’t get something that I never had
Can’t get something that I never had

Should I think about tomorrow oh
Should I live for just today
Take the light that burns inside you
Let it burn away
Let it burn away
Let it burn away

Will I see the day
Will I have to pay
What’s inside of me
You will never see
Won’t you let me in
Don’t you let me see
Do you think I’m bad
Cause I want something that I never had
Cause I want something that I never had

Give me something that I never had
Give me something that I never had

You Know…(Part 1)

Tried to be your father
Things just made it harder
Sorry if I made you cry

Years turned you against me
Heart was always aching
And I never thought you’d say goodbye

I could have been wrong
You know
I should have been strong
You know

That’ll do …. ha ha ha

Junkie

You’re coming down badly
You’re crippled inside
A rat in your sewer
You’ve no place to hide
A gut wrenching fever
Addicted to death
You don’t give a fuck
If it means your last breath

You try so hard to quit
But you’ll never admit
You’re the junkie
There’s no reasoning why
Cause the mirror don’t lie
You’re the junkie

You crave for the needle to stick in your vein
Can’t wait for the poison to kill all the pain
You buy your cheap ticket to take a short ride
That beautiful flower is eating your mind

You try so hard to quit
But you’ll never admit
You’re the junkie
There’s no reasoning why
Cause the mirror don’t lie
You’re the junkie

Your name means nothing
You don’t know the score
Body is aching you still crave for more
Sometimes you wish that you’d never been born
Tormenting came with a crown full of thorns

You’re chasing the dragon
You’re chasing the high
A bird with one wing
Who’s still trying to fly
You’re all out of spirit
A dead man alive
A born again junkie
You’ll never survive

You try so hard to quit
But you’ll never admit
You’re the junkie
There’s no reasoning why
Cause the mirror don’t lie
You’re the junkie

Junkie
Junkie
Junkie
Junkie

Running Out Of Time

Been around this world so many times
If you could only see my mind
I watch my secret heaven turn to hell

Faith alone has guided me
The ghost of my own destiny
I haven’t even got a soul to sell

All the thing I put me through
I wouldn’t wish my hell on you
You’ll never know what’s going on inside

Just another lonely broken hero
Picking up the pieces of my mind
Running out of faith and hope and reason
I’m running out of time
Running out of time

Trouble always seems find
A way to live inside my mind
My haunted head and me remain alone
Underneath my masquerade
A simple man who’s so afraid
I try to find a light to guide me home

Momma please just hold me tight
Feeling so afraid tonight
Cause your the only one that really knows

Just another lonely broken hero
Picking up the pieces of my mind
Running out of faith and hope and reason
I’m running out of time
Running out of time

Fighting for my sanity
Many nights of tragedy
Got to leave my Wretched ways behind

Just another lonely broken hero
Picking up the pieces of my mind
Running out of fate and hope and reason
I’m running out of time
Running out of time
I’m running out of time
Running out of time

[spoken:]
Underneath my masquerade
a simple who’s still afraid

Black Illusion

You load the dice and paint the smile upon your face
With fingers crossed you switch the perfume with the mace
What kind of dreams to you enjoy inside your bed
I’ll face the lies and shake the evil from your head

Black Illusion
Is all I ever see
Black Illusion
I bring you misery
oh yeah
yeah

You always seem to know the answer to it all
You seem to cheat the truth and never take the fall
Your life is hollow and you simply the rules
The time will come when you will join the other fools

Black Illusion
Is all I ever see
Black Illusion
I bring you misery
oh yeah
yeah

I load the dice and fake a smile upon my face
With fingers crossed I switch the perfume with the mace
What kind of dreams do I enjoy inside my bed
You’ll face the lies and shake the evil from my head

Black Illusion
Is all I ever see
Black Illusion
I bring you misery
oh yeah

Alive

A child of a broken mind
The fear that I hide behind
I hate rejection
It’s the worst
It gravely hurts me

Living inside my head
I feel like the living dead
I need your affection
It’s the best
It greatly helps me

With my back against the wall
Trying so hard not to fall
I’m so tired of sleeping around
Hopeless, in despair
Don’t know if I’m here or there
Feeling like I’m up and I’m down

But I’m still alive
I don’t have any plans to go anywhere
You know I’m alive
I know I’m crazy but I still like it here
But I’m still alive
I don’t have any plans to go anywhere
I don’t want to die

A head full of tragic schemes
what keeps me alive is dreams
I dream that someday
I’ll find the key that sets my mind free
You may think I’ve lost control
The man with the broken soul
I’m not here to try and make excuses
Just believe me

With my back against the wall
Trying so hard not to fall
I’m so tired of sleeping around
Hopeless, in despair
Don’t know if I’m here or there
Feeling like I’m up and I’m down

But I’m still alive
I don’t have any plans to go anywhere
You know I’m alive
I know I’m crazy but I still like it here
I don’t have any plans to go anywhere
I don’t want to die
yeah

But I’m still alive
I don’t have any plans to go anywhere
You know I’m alive
I know I’m crazy but I still like it here
But I’m still alive
I don’t have any plans to go anywhere
You know I’m alive
I know I’m crazy but I still like it here
But I’m still alive
I don’t have any plans to go anywhere
You know I’m alive
I know I’m crazy but I still like it here
But I’m still alive
I don’t have any plans to go anywhere
You know I’m alive
I know I’m crazy but I still like it here
I don’t want to die
You know I’m alive
You know I’m alive

Can You Hear Them?

So sick and tired of living
And so afraid to die
I’ve lived so many lives
And still I wonder why
The way the world perceives me
Is not the way I am
The one half thinks I’m crazy
The other thinks I’m mad

I spent a long long time alone in my room
I need your help to get me out of this gloom

Can you hear them
All the voices in my head
They freak me out
Can you hear them
They won’t be happy ’till I’m dead
They freak me out

Ten thousand million nightmares
Temptation by the score
I used to get so high
And still I wanted more
You think my time is wasted
In search of who I am
I tried to so hard to kill
The boy inside the man

I spent a thousand years one night in my room
I’ve lived so many lives and that is my doom

Can you hear them
All the voices in my head
They freak me out
Can you hear them
They won’t be happy ’till I’m dead
They freak me out

Can you hear them
All the voices in my head
They freak me out
Can you hear them
They won’t be happy ’till I’m dead
They freak me out

I never thought I’d smile again
Always thought I’d be here on my own
Sometimes when I’m down
You come and save me again
And again
And again
And again

I’ll never understand it
It makes no sense at all
Just look at what I’ve done
It’s time to count the score

I’ve spent a long long time alone in my room
I need your help to get me out of this gloom

Can you hear them
All the voices in my head
They freak me out
Can you hear them
They won’t be happy ’till I’m dead
They freak me out

Can you hear them
All the voices in my head
They freak me out
Can you hear them
They won’t be happy ’till I’m dead
They freak me out

No Place For Angels

[Bonus track]

You must seduce me, the ties with fire
My one addiction, your sweet desire
Is living in a world of hate and dreams
Standing at the end of time
We had paradise but that was lost
Forever to mankind

No place for angels, for you and me
No place for angels, I’m lost in your reality,
Where life seems so unreal

I feel the madness, the Jesus liar
The one creation, obsessed by fire
We’re, living in a world of hate and dreams
Standing at the end of time
We had paradise but that was lost
Forever to mankind

No place for angels, for you and me
No place for angels, I’m lost in your reality
Where life seems so unreal

You may think that I’m just a crazy guy
And I wear the madman’s masks
Do I live my life in a fake disguise?
Is my world just caving in (ah)

No place for angels, for you and me
No place for angels, I’m lost in your reality
Where life seems so unreal

Black Sabbath

What is this that stands before me
Figure in black which points at me
Turn ’round quick and start to run
Find out I’m the chosen one
Oh, no

Big black shape with eyes of fire
Telling people their desire
Satan sitting there, he’s smiling
Watches those flames get higher and higher
Oh, God–please help me
Oh, no–no

Child cries out for its mother
Mother screaming in the fire
Satan points at me again
Opens the door to push me in
Oh, no
Oh, God

Is it the end my friend
Satan’s coming ’round the bend
People running ’cause they’re scared
You people better go and beware
No, no
Please, God, no

War Pigs

Witches gather at black masses
Bodies burning in red ashes
On the hill the church in ruin
Is the scene of even doing
Is the place for all bad sinners
Watch them eating dead rat cinder
I guess it’s the same
Wherever you may go
Oh, Lord yeah

Carrying banners which denounce the Lord
See me rocking in my grave
See devil anoint my head with their black blood
See them stick the stake through me
Don’t hold me back ’cause I just gotta go
Satan’s got a hold on my soul now
Look in my brain and there was blood and seed
Look in my eyes and there I go

On the scene a priest appears
Sinners falling at his knees
Satan sends out funeral pyres
Casts the priest into the fire
It’s the place for all bad sinners
Watch them eating dead rat cinder
I guess it’s the same
Wherever you may go
Oh, Lord yeah

Goodbye To Romance

Yesterday has been and gone
Tomorrow will I find the sun or will it rain
Everybody’s having fun except me I’m the lonely one
I live in shame

I say goodbye to romance
Goodbye to friends, I tell you
Goodbye to all the past
I guess that we’ll meet, we’ll meet in the end

I’ve been the king, I’ve been the clown
Now broken wings can’t hold me down
I’m free again
The jester with a broken crown
It won’t be me this time around to love in vain

I say goodbye to romance
Goodbye to friends, I tell you
Goodbye to all the past
I guess that we’ll meet, we’ll meet in the end

And I feel the time is right although I know
That you just might say to me
What ya gonna do…what ya gonna do
But I have to take this chance
Goodbye to friends and true romance
And to all of you…and to all of you

I say goodbye to romance
Goodbye to friends, I tell you
Goodbye to all the past
I guess that we’ll meet, we’ll meet in the end

And the weather’s looking fine and I think the sun will shine again
And I feel I’ve cleared my mind all the past is left behind again

Crazy Train

All aboard! Hahaha

Crazy, but that’s how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe. it’s not too late
To learn how to love, and forget how to hate

Mental wounds not healing
Life’s a bitter shame
I’m goin’ off the rails on a crazy train
I’m goin’ off the rails on a crazy train

I’ve listened to preachers,
I’ve listened to fools
I’ve watched all the dropouts
Who make their own rules
One person conditioned to rule and control
The media sells it and you live the role

Mental wounds still screaming
Driving me insane
I’m goin’ off the rails on a crazy train
I’m goin’ off the rails on a crazy train

I know that things are going wrong for me
You gotta listen to my words, yeah, yeah

Heirs of a cold war,
that’s what we’ve become
Inheriting troubles,
I’m mentally numb
Crazy, I just cannot bear
I’m living with something that just isn’t fair

Mental wounds not healing
Who and what’s to blame
I’m goin’ off the rails on a crazy train
I’m goin’ off the rails on a crazy train

Mr. Crowley

Mr. Crowley, what went on in your head
Mr. Crowley, did you talk with the dead
Your lifestyle to me seemed so tragic
With the thrill of it all
You fooled all the people with magic
You waited on Satan’s call

Mr. Charming, did you think you were pure
Mr. Alarming, in nocturnal rapport
Uncovering things that were sacred
Manifest on this earth
Conceived in the eye of a secret
And they scattered the afterbirth

Mr. Crowley, won’t you ride my white horse
Mr. Crowley, it’s symbolic of course
Approaching a time that is classic
I hear the maidens call
Approaching a time that is drastic
Standing with their backs to the wall

Was it polemically sent
I wanna know what you meant
I wanna know

Over The Mountain

Over the mountain take me across the sky
Something in my vision, something deep inside
Where did I wander, where do you think I wandered to
I’ve seen life’s magic astral plane I travel through
I heard them tell me that this land of dreams was now
I told them I had ridden shooting stars
And said I’d show them how

Over and over always tried to get away
Living in a daydream only place I had to stay
Fever of a breakout burning in me miles wide
People around me talking to the walls inside
I heard them tell me that this land of dreams was now
I told them I had ridden shooting stars
And said I’d show them how

Don’t need no astrology, it’s inside of you and me
You don’t need a ticket to fly with me, I’m free

Over and under in between the ups and downs
Mind on a carpet magic ride goes round and round
Over the mountain kissing silver inlaid clouds
Watching my body disappear into the crowd

Paranoid

Finished with my woman cause she couldn’t help me with my mind
People think I’m insane because I am frowning all the time

All day long I think of things, but nothing seems to satisfy
Think I’ll lose my mind if I don’t find something to pacify
Can you help me… occupy my brain

I need someone to show me the things in life that I can’t find
I can’t see the things that make true happiness I must be blind

Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I can not feel and love to me is so unreal

And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy your life, I wish I could but it’s too late

Bark At The Moon

Screams break the silence
Waking from the dead of night
Vengeance is boiling
He’s returned to kill the light

Then when he’s found who he’s looking for
Listen in awe and you’ll hear him
Bark at the moon

Years spent in torment
Buried in a nameless grave
Now he has risen
Miracles would have to save

Those that the beast is looking for
Listen in awe and you’ll hear him
Bark at the moon

They cursed and buried him along with shame
And thought his timeless soul had gone
In empty burning hell, unholy one
But now he’s returned to prove them wrong, so wrong

Howling in shadows
Living in a lunar spell
He finds his heaven
Spewing from the mouth of hell

Those that the beast is looking for
Listen in awe and you’ll hear him
Bark at the moon

Shot In The Dark

Out on the street I’m stalking the night
I can hear my heavy breathing
Paid for the kill but it doesn’t seem right
Something there I can’t believe in
Voices are calling from inside my head
I can hear them, I can hear them
Vanishing memories of things that were said
They can’t try to hurt me now

But a shot in the dark one step away from you
A shot in the dark always creeping up on you

Taught by the powers that preach over me
I can hear their empty reason
I wouldn’t listen I learnt how to fight
I opened up my mind to treason
But just like the wounded and when it’s too late
They’ll remember, they’ll surrender
Never a care for that people who hate
Underestimate me now

But a shot in the dark one step away from you
A shot in the dark not a thing that you can do
A shot in the dark always creeping up on you

But just like the wounded and when it’s too late
They’ll remember, they’ll surrender
Never a care for the people who hate
Underestimate me now

But a shot in the dark one step away from you
A shot in the dark not a thing that you can do
A shot in the dark always creeping up on you

Just a shot in the dark

Crazy Babies

Crazy…babies
Crazy babies never say die
Born to live on a permanent high
Flying high above the world below
They’d better come down soon or everyone will know just why
Nobody’s gonna change them, change them
They’ve gone over the top
Nobody’s gonna tame them, tame them
They’re never gonna stop

Walk that walk… talk that talk

Crazy…babies
When they were born they were born to be wild
Some say I’m another devil’s child
Crazy babies in a world of their own
I am a crazy babe you’d better leave me alone tonight
Nobody’s gonna change me, change me
I’m gonna do this ’til I die
Nobody’s gonna tame me, tame me
So you better not try

Walk that walk… talk that talk

Crazy…babies
No use talkin ’bout if they’ll last
Where they’re goin’ or about their past
They’re just the result of our Society
So frustrated just like you and me, that’s right
Nobody’s gonna change them, change them
They’ve gone over the top
Nobody’s gonna tame them, tame them
They’re never gonna stop

No More Tears (Edit)

The light in the window is a crack in the sky
A stairway to darkness in the blink of an eye
A levee of tears to learn she’ll never be coming back
The man in the dark will bring another attack

Your momma told you that you’re not supposed to talk to strangers
Look in the mirror tell me do you think your life’s in danger here
No more tears

Another day passes as the night closes in
The red light goes on to say it’s time to begin

I see the man around the corner waiting, does he see me?
I close my eyes and wait to hear the sound of someone screaming here
No more tears

So now that it’s over, can’t we just say goodbye?
I’d like to move on and make the most of the night
Maybe a kiss before I leave you this way
Your lips are so cold I don’t know what else to say

I never wanted it to end this way my love my darling
Believe me when I say to you in love I think I’m falling here
No more tears

Mama, I’m Coming Home

[Ozzy Osbourne, Zakk Wylde, Lemmy Kilmister]

Times have changed and times are strange
Here I come, but I ain’t the same

Mama, I’m coming home

Times gone by, seems to be
You could have been a better friend to me

Mama, I’m coming home

You took me in and you drove me out
Yeah, you had me hypnotized
Lost and found and turned around
By the fire in your eyes

You made me cry, you told me lies
But, I can’t stand to say goodbye

Mama, I’m coming home

I could be right, I could be wrong
It hurts so bad, it’s been so long

Mama, I’m coming home

Selfish love, yeah, we’re both alone
The ride before the fall, yeah.
But I’m gonna take this heart of stone
I just got to have it all.

I’ve seen your face a hundred times,
Everyday we’ve been apart
I don’t care about the sunshine, yeah
’cause mama,

Mama, I’m coming home
I’m coming home

You took me in and you drove me out
Yeah, you had the hypnotised, yeah.
Lost and found and turned around
By the fire in your eyes

I’ve seen your face a thousand times
Everyday we’ve been apart
And I don’t care about the sunshine, yeah
’cause mama,

Mama, I’m coming home
I’m coming home

I Don’t Want To Change The World (Live)

Standing on the crossroads, world spinning round and round
Know which way I’m going, you can’t bring me down
Don’t you try and teach me no original sin
I don’t need your pity for the shape I’m in

I don’t wanna change the world
I don’t want the world to change me

Tell me I’m a sinner I got news for you
I spoke to God this morning and he don’t like you
You telling all the people the original sin
He says he knows you better than you’ll ever know him

I don’t wanna change the world
I don’t want the world to change me

You know it ain’t easy
You know it ain’t fair
So don’t try to please me
Because I really don’t care

Don’t tell me stories ’cause yesterday’s glories
Have gone away, so far away
I’ve heard it said there’s a light up ahead
Lord I hope and pray I’m here to stay

Tell me I’m a sinner I got news for you
I spoke to God this morning and he don’t like you
Don’t you try and teach me no original sin
I don’t need your pity for the shape I’m in

I Just Want You

There are no unlockable doors
There are no unwinnable wars
There are no unrightable wrongs or unsingable songs
There are no unbeatable odds
There are no believable gods
There are no unnameable names
Shall I say it again, yeah

There are no impossible dreams
There are no invisible seams
Each night when the day is through
I don’t ask much
I just want you

There are no uncriminal crimes
There are no unrhymable rhymes
There are no identical twins or forgivable sins
There are no incurable ills
There are no unkillable thrills
One thing and you know it’s true
I don’t ask much
I just want you

I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired
I used to go to bed so high and wired, yeah…
I think I’ll buy myself some plastic water
I guess I should have married Lennon’s daughter, yeah…

There are no unachievable goals
There are no unsaveable souls
No legitimate kings or queens
Do you know what I mean?
There are no indisputable truths
And there ain’t no fountain of youth
Each night when the day is through,
I don’t ask much
I just want you

Back On Earth

I have fallen from grace, and my ashes are scattered
No longer of passion and flesh
My flame is alive, though my wings have been shattered
They lay my body to rest

My spirit is breathing, my senses are pure
Like reincarnation, my soul will endure

Back on earth…
The spirit, it never lets go

Like fountains of sorrow, the faces are crying
I’m witnessing all of their pain
Death is so final, for only the living
The spirit will always remain

Bury me deep, just to cover my sins
My soul is redeemed, as the journey begins

Back on earth (you feel me)
Back on earth (reveal me)
Back on earth, the spirit it never lets go

Another dimension, a river of life
I’m twisting, I’m turning, my soul is in flight

Back on earth (you feel me)
Back on earth (reveal me)
Back on earth (still breathing)
Back on earth (reliving)
