Feel so good, I feel so fine
Love that little lady, always on my mind
She gives me lovin' every night and day
Never gonna leave her, never goin' away

Someone to love me
You know she make me feel alright, yeah
Alright
Someone who needs me
Love me every single night, yeah

Feel so happy since I met that girl
When we're making love it's something out of this world
Feels so good to know that she's all mine
Gonna love that woman 'till the end of time

Someone to live for
Love me 'till the end of time
Hey, hey, hey, yeah
She makes me feel happy
It's good to know that she's all mine

I am the world that hides
The universal secret of all time
Destruction of the empty spaces
Is my one and only crime

I've lived a thousand times
I found out what it means to be believed
The thoughts and images
The unborn child that never was conceived

You've gotta believe me
Hey
I'm talking to you

Well, I know it's hard for you
To know the reason why
And I know you'll understand
More when it's time to die

I don't believe the life you have
Will be the only one
You have to let your body sleep
To let your soul live on
Ha ha

Whoa
Feel so happy since I met that girl
When we're making love it's something out of this world
Feels so good to know that she's all mine
Gonna love that woman 'till the end of time

Someone to live for
Love me 'till the end of time, yeah, oh
Ooh, she makes me feel happy
It's good to know that she's all mine
She's all mine, yeah
Yo, woh, yeah, yeah


Sad But True

Hey
I'm your life
I'm the one who takes you there
Hey
I'm your life
I'm the one who cares
They
They betray
I'm your only true friend now
They
They'll betray
I'm forever there

I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
Sad but true
I'm your dream, mind astray
I'm your eyes while you're away
I'm your pain while you repay
You know it's sad but true

Sad but true

You
You're my mask
You're my cover, my shelter
You
You're my mask
You're the one who's blamed
Do
Do my work
Do my dirty work, scapegoat
Do
Do my deeds
For you're the one who's shamed, oh

I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
Sad but true
I'm your dream, mind astray
I'm your eyes while you're away
I'm your pain while you repay
You know it's sad but true

Sad but true

I'm your dream
I'm your eyes
I'm your pain
I'm your dream (I'm your dream)
I'm your eyes (I'm your eyes)
I'm your pain (I'm your pain)
You know it's sad but true

Hate
I'm your hate
I'm your hate when you want love
Pay
Pay the price
Pay, for nothing's fair
Hey
I'm your life
I'm the one who took you there
Hey
I'm your life
And I no longer care

I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
Sad but true
I'm your truth, telling lies
I'm your reason, alibis
I'm inside, open your eyes
I'm you

Sad but true


Seek & Destroy

All right

Scanning the scene in the city tonight
We're looking for you to start up a fight
There's an evil feeling in our brains
But it's nothing new. You know it drives us insane

Running
On our way
Hiding
You will pay
Dying
One thousand deaths
Running
On our way
Hiding
You will pay
Dying
One thousand deaths

Searching
Seek and destroy
Searching
Seek and destroy
Searching
Seek and destroy
Searching
Seek and destroy

There is no escape and that's for sure
This is the end we won't take any more
Say goodbye to the world you live in
You've always been taking, but now you're giving

Running
On our way
Hiding
You will pay
Dying
One thousand deaths
Running
On our way
Hiding
You will pay
Dying
One thousand deaths

Searching
Seek and destroy
Searching
Seek and destroy
Searching
Seek and destroy
Searching
Seek and destroy

Our brains are on fire with the feeling to kill
And it won't go away until our dreams are fulfilled
There is only one thing on our minds
Don't try running away 'cause you're the one we will find

Running
On our way
Hiding
You will pay
Dying
One thousand deaths
Running
On our way
Hiding
You will pay
Dying
One thousand deaths

Searching
Seek and destroy
Searching
Seek and destroy
Searching
Seek and destroy
Searching
Seek and destroy
Ha, ha, ha, ha


The Shortest Straw

Suspicion is your name
Your honesty to blame
Put dignity to shame
Dishonor

Witchhunt, modern day
Determining decay
The blatant disarray
Disfigure

The public eye's disgrace
Defying common place
Unending paper chase
Unending

Deafening
Painstaking
Reckoning
This vertigo, it doth bring

Shortest straw
Challenge liberty
Downed by law
Live in infamy
Rub you raw
Witchhunt riding through
Shortest straw
This shortest straw has been pulled for you

Pulled for you
Shortest straw
Pulled for you
Shortest straw
Pulled for you
Shortest straw
Shortest straw has been pulled for you

The accusations fly
Discrimination, why?
Your inner self to die
Intruding

Doubt sunk itself in you
It's teeth and talons through
Your living catch two two
Deluding

A mass hysteria
A megalomania
Reveal dementia
Reveal

Secretly
Silently
Certainly
In vertigo you will be

Shortest straw
Challenge liberty
Downed by law
Live in infamy
Rub you raw
Witchhunt riding through
Shortest straw
This shortest straw has been pulled for you

Pulled for you
Shortest straw
Pulled for you
Shortest straw
Pulled for you
Shortest straw
Shortest straw has been pulled for you

Shortest straw
Pulled for you
Shortest straw
Pulled for you
Shortest straw
Pulled for you
Shortest straw
Shortest straw has been pulled for you

Behind you, hands are tied
Your being ostracized
Your hell is multiplied
Upending

The fallout has begun
Oppressive damage done
Your many turn to none
To nothing

You're reaching your nadir
Your will has disappeared
The lie is crystal clear
Defending

Channels red
One word said
Blacklisted
With vertigo make you dead

Shortest straw
Challenge liberty
Downed by law
Live in infamy
Rub you raw
Witchhunt riding through
Shortest straw
This shortest straw has been pulled for you
Pulled for you


Slither

Don't go lookin' for snakes
You might find them
Don't send your eyes to the sun
You might blind them
Haven't I seen you here before?

Ooh, watch the puppets dancin'
Yeah, see the clowns fall down
Hey, tie your tap shoes tightly
Yeah, and wear them into town

See you crawlin'
See you crawlin' in

Don't go lookin' for snakes
You might find them
Don't send your eyes to the sun
You might blind them
Haven't I seen you here before?
There ain't no heroes here
No, no more

Hey, hey, hey
Ooh, play the game so nicely
Oh, check, it's your move now
Yeah, we're standin' in this jungle
Yeah, with serpents I have found

See you crawlin'
See you crawlin' in

Don't go lookin' for snakes
You might find them
Don't send your eyes to the sun
You might blind them
Haven't I seen you here before?
Have your heroes disappeared?

See you crawlin'
See you crawlin' in

So don't go lookin' for snakes
You might find them
Don't send your eyes to the sun
You might blind them
Haven't I seen you here before?
No, there ain't no heroes here
No, no

Haven't I seen you here before?
No, there ain't no heroes here

Don't go lookin' for snakes
You might find them

Yeah, haven't I seen you here before?
And have your heroes disappeared?

Don't send your eyes to the sun
You might blind them


The Small Hours

Look out at the darkness
And you will see
Just call my name and I'll be there

You cannot touch me
You would not dare
I am the chill that's in the air

And I try to get through to you
In my own special way
As the barriers crumble
At the end of the day
Ha, ha

Dark rivers are flowing
Back into the past
You are the fish for which I cast

And what of the future
What is to be
As the rivers flow into the sea

And I try to get through to you
In my own special way
As the barriers crumble
At the end of the day

Do not take for granted
Powers out there
Don't step into the demon's lair

Time is an illusion
Rising from time
Steep is the mountain which we climb

And I try to get through to you
In my own special way
As the barriers crumble
At the end of the day

Stone Cold Crazy

Sleeping very soundly on a Saturday morning
I was dreaming I was Al Capone
Rumour going round, gotta clear outta town
Smell like a dry fishbone
Here come the law, gonna break down the door
Carry me away once more
Never, never, never want it any more
Gotta get away from this stone cold floor

Crazy
Stone cold crazy, ya know

Rainy afternoon, on a killer typhoon
And she's playing with my slide trombone
Anymore, anymore, cannot take it anymore
Gotta get away from this stone cold floor

Crazy
Stone cold crazy, ya know, hey

Ooh, yeah

Walking down the street shooting people that I meet
Fully loaded Tommy gun
Here come the deputy, he try fuckin' gettin' me
Gotta fuckin get up and run
They got the sirens loose
I'm runnin' right outta juice
They're gonna put me in a cell
If I can't go to heaven, let me go to hell

Crazy
Stone cold crazy, ya know, yeah


Stone Dead Forever

Get on

Did you see me
In the glass
Did you hear me
Better listen fast
Think I see you
Gone to seed
Only reasons
Were your guilt and greed

Out there on your own
Your face turned to stone
Whatever happened to your life?
Stone dead forever
All right

You're a financial wizard
Yeah, a top tycoon
You're a sweet lounge lizard
With a silver spoon
You know you never had it
Quite so good
'Cause you didn't know
That you even could

But the time has come to pay
Your touch turned to gold
Whatever happened to your life?
Stone dead forever
All right

Been a long time
Been a long, long wait
And you've caught your fingers
At the Pearly Gates
Better leave your number
And we'll call you
Do you know your problems
Ain't exactly new

The time has come today
Turns out to have been a play
Whatever happened to your life?
Stone dead forever
That's right

Yo


The Struggle Within

Reaching out for something you've gotta feel
You're clutching to what you had thought was real

Kicking at a dead horse pleases you
No way of showin' your gratitude
So many things you don't wanna do
What is it, what have you got to lose?

(What the hell?)
What the hell?
What is it you think you're gonna find?
(Hypocrite)
Hypocrite
Boredom sets into the boring mind

Struggle within
It suits you fine
Struggle within
Your ruin
Struggle within
You seal your own coffin
Struggle within
The struggling within

Home is not a home, it becomes a hell
Turning it into your prison cell
Advantages are taken, not handed out
While you struggle inside your hell, ow

(Reaching out)
Reaching out
Grabbing for something you've got to feel
(Closing in)
Closing in
The pressure upon you is so unreal

Struggle within
It suits you fine
Struggle within
Your ruin
Struggle within
You seal your own coffin
Struggle within
Struggling within

Struggle

Go

Reaching out for something you've got to feel
While clutching to what you had thought was real

What the hell?
What is it you think you're gonna find?
Hypocrite
Boredom sets into the boring mind, ah

Struggle within
It suits you fine
Struggle within
Your ruin
Struggle within
You seal your own coffin
Struggle within
Struggling within
