Killing floor, SINGLE
Story of one strange night in Japan... In the smoky haze, she was dancing free Should've ordered one but I ordered three Then I watched the room, and it was dancing two So I ordered four and I hit the floor On the count of five, I was still alive At the stroke of six, I picked a drink to mix At the stroke of seven, I fell out of heaven As the clock struck eight, I felt the hand of fate BRIDGE: You're in the spotlight And I'm running out of time You're in the spotlight The wheels of your life starts now Tell me what sin was on your mind, yeah May I approach from behind, yeah Tell me what sin was on your mind, yeah Start confessing to your crimes, yeah Well, I tried to come but I was already there Did I arrive too soon? Well better late than never When I come again, you will know it's time Cause I have to go to catch another rhyme Things are getting tight, maybe one more stroke Any last words from the fiery folk REPEAT BRIDGE Tell me what sin is on your mind, yeah May I approach from behind, yeah Start confessing to your crimes, yeah Tell me what sin is on your mind, yeah Now the wheels of life goes rolling on, into the sun Now the wheels of life goes rolling on, we roll as one Tell me what sin is on your mind, yeah Start confessing to your crimes, yeah (x2)

Killing floor, Japan SINGLE
How many lifetimes, how many beginnings How many lovers, how many threats How many religions to keep us all guessing Give me a reason. Why? Hell is a reason. Why? The real world, you've got to fight to see it through The real world, it's like the cages in the zoo The real world, is there a lifelong there to be? The real world, the real world Too many people try to sell you their cages Killing the fox till the jailer arrives If living in zoos is your idea of outrageous Don't pick any animal, I'll be the wild one The real world, you've got to fight to see it through The real world, it's likes the cages in the zoo The real world can leave you hanging by a thread The real world, the real world (x2)

Bonus track, Japanese "The chemical wedding"
A 100 years of toil and pain to pull a stone upright again Up routed from it's mountain home Taken to this sacred circle Is there a secret in the stones? A message in the hills is there a secret in the stones? A message long ago CHORUS: I know the king will come again From the shadows of the sun Burning hillsides with the beltane fires I know tye king will come again When all that glitters turns to rust Uther Pendragon standing fast beside you I know the king will come again (x2) The sun, the moon, we worshipped here a calendar of fear' Gazing across the channel sea to see the beacon's burning brightly STICK: Is that a shadow on the hill or a phanton in the mere What is the meaning of the stones? Why do they stand alone? REPEAT CHORUS SOLO REPEAT STICK REPEAT CHORUS I know the king will come again (x2)
