1. Jesus Mary And The Holy Ghost

Prime time Nursery rhyme Did you see the teacher Sister Black and white What she’s gonna to do

They say eye for eye, tooth for tooth But don’t hurt your brother Crossroad overload

Oh, I, I testify They just showed me Mary She was stoned stoned danger zone There was nothing in her eyes

And then there there in the air Nailed to the cross was Jesus Crossroad overload

Now I lay me down to sleep Pray my soul to keep away From the holy spirit holy ghost They’re hiding in the dark

Oh nightmare electric chair You might not get to heaven Bad boys shout for joy Watch him to cry

Prime time Nursery rhyme Love just needs religion Crossroad overload

2. Firehead

Who’s that angry man I see Is he coming closer Well I’ll just make believe That I’ve never been afraid

Crackle, Crackle You’re all dead Feel the heat from firehead

From spooky stories that he’s read They put pictures on his body Living out a fantasy To be the last one left alive hah

Crackle Crackle You’re all dead Feel the heat from firehead He’s lost the instruction No control Suicide fever he won’t be much older I know, won’t go away

What’s that smoke that I can see Rising from the ashes Well, it seems that there will always be Someone just like you Crackle Crackle And you’re all dead Feel the heat from firehead firehead firehead!

3. Strange Highways

It’s a crazy world we live in And I’m leaving it today For another institution We crazy people play Every time I climb the mountain And it turned into a hill I promised me that I’d move on And I will

I, I, good for nothing Going nowhere so they say Hey, someone give me blessings For they say that I have sinned That when I crawl inside myself And ride into the wind On Strange Highways On Strange Highways

Hey you I want your number Don’t even wonder We do things our way here Questions These are forbidden We got no answers Believe us anyway So here is my confession It’s the only broken rule Sometimes I crawl inside of me Where I can be the fool On Strange Highways On Strange Highways

Oh

You can see the other side And you shall come over You can’t leave the other side If you say I will

Every time I climb the mountain And it turned into a hill Well I promised me I’d disappear And now I know I will

So someone give me blessings For the times you say I’ve sinned So I can crawl inside myself And ride into the wind On Strange Highways On Strange Highways

Questions They’re forbidden Hey you what’s your number Oh we’ve got no answers Don’t you even wonder

Oh Strange Highways Ooh

4. Hollywood Black

Came to the sunset scene To find out who’s inside of me Some lies I’ve never seen But this one lies on the silver screen In between real and dream Like a scream

Hollywood black I’m caught in the middle Hollywood black

Same story different eyes Here’s where the hero never never dies Can’t you tell That all the wishes you’ve made Have filled up the well

Hollywood black Caught in the middle Hollywood black Yeah Oh Hollywood black Right in the middle Too late to little

Back to the street again Or was that yesterday Another yesterday’s gone gone

Back in the jungle Running with the animals Howling at the sign of the spotlight Ooh

Those dreams are made of glass You throw just one stone And then there goes your last window Can’t you tell That every wish that you made Filled up the well Hollywood black Caught in the middle Hollywood black

Hollywood black Right in the middle Ah, Hollywood black Hollywood black Caught in the middle Too late to little And only the fools come back Cause Hollywood is black

5. Evilution

Good night we’re closing again Come back we’re open tomorrow We’ve finished today I’m just staying away We know what’s good for the brain

Oh plastic dreams and fast machines Pushing it to the limit Girls and boys who think that noise Is music in the air Twisted felon stay awhile Here’s your invitation Dirty rags and body bags Evilution

Hello we’re open once more Come in you need no appointment We’re thinking in time That you’ll move down the line And represent the business in hell Well well

Tell her hope is gone but you carry on We can set the soul free All is lost so what’s it costs To listen anyway The world upstairs where no one cares Is just about to crumble See it through we’ll burn for you Evilution company

Oh neon names play neon games Showing it to the public I hate you and you hate me And everybody smiles So money talks and no one walks But everybody’s crawling Golden rags and body bags Evilution Hello good night it’s me I’m open again Come back come in good bye We’re closed

6. Pain

Give me a choice between pleasure and pain I choose pain

Another day without a heartbeat How can your heart beat If they’ve taken it away For the first time just don’t think about it Take the water and wash your face with pain

You can take away the power Your finest hour It’s when you laugh in their faces For the first time just forget about it Take a hammer and pound yourself with pain

Ooh

Bury my bones on the moon If they never should find me it would be too soon Give me a choice between power and pain I choose pain

Oh bury my bones on moon If they never should find me it would be too soon For the first time just forget about Take the water and wash your face with pain Pain Oh just forget about pain Forget about the pain Pain, pain, pain, pain, pain {

7. One Foot In The Grave

Here we go again, must be delirious Can’t close my eyes Sleep is just a drug this must be serious This must be serious Does this go on and on forever

Sometimes in the dark I feel invincible I wonder why I hear voices out of shadows And shadows never lie Helter skelter Now give me shelter Use the children like toys Eat your lover Then find an another There be good little boys Boys will be boys

I got two hands to hold you Two arms around you The master and the slave Two eyes to watch you Two hands to help you Put one foot in the grave

Here we go again must be delirious Can’t close my eyes no Sleep is just a drug this must be serious This must be serious

Helter skelter Now, give me shelter My brain is twisting again I could be dreaming this No I’m screaming this No more no

I got two hands to hold you Two arms around you The master and the slave Two eyes to watch you Two hands to help you Put one foot in the grave

8. Give Her The Gun

She heard this song before Daddy’s at the door Just to say I love you

Please please don’t let him in Is it all beginning again tonight? Somebody make it right

I say Give her the gun Look at him run away Give her the gun Before the next one comes along And doesn’t pay

He dragged into the cold Momma sold her soul For one more ride to heaven

Please someone let him in Is it all beginning again tonight Can anyone make it right?

I say Give him the gun Look at her run away Oh, give him the gun Before the next one comes along And doesn’t pay

Simply unforgivable destruction of the heart Does anybody tell Make yourself invisible Be blinded by the light We’re hiding away what would they say Yeah

She played this song before Daddy’s at the door Just to say hello ahh

Now in a different world Is it all beginning again tonight Oh I got to make it right I say give her the gun Look at him run away Oh give her the gun Before the next one comes along

Give her the gun Look at him falling down Oh give her the gun Before the next one comes along

’Cause it goes round and round and round

9. Blood From A Stone

Oh you’ve been surprised again Pulled like a leaf to the waterfall Everybody’s just pretending I thought that you’d learn by now

Ooh think about it one more time What have you got when the god is gone Clouds don’t have a silver lining And all you ever get is rain

Cause you can’t get blood from a stone You can’t open the door if there’s nobody home They’ve taken it all so just leave me alone You can’t get blood from a stone

It isn’t once upon a time When nobody falls and the hero flies That victims got to fit the crime And nobody goes down with you You you

Cause you can’t get blood from a stone You can’t open the door if there’s nobody home They’ve taken it all so just leave me alone You can’t get blood from a stone No no

Cause you can’t get blood from a stone You can’t open the door if there’s nobody home They’ve taken it all so just leave me alone No you can’t get blood from a stone

No blood from a stone Go on and leave me alone And I know it’s a shock To learn that you can’t You can’t you can’t get blood from a rock

10. Here’s To You

Here’s to you Here’s to you! Here’s to me! Masters of the universe The curse of destiny

All for one it’s one for all Now you can pull the trigger As we’re knocking down on the wall When you finally shoot too high The lie will always bring it down

You resurrection angels Look what we found That the wheel goes around So here’s to you!

Come on raise the dead Heads will roll Cancel the infection We can purify the soul

Do the crime Then write the law There’s no wrong you can change it where A change you’ve never saw

Hey you desperation angels Here we found That they all fell down So Here’s to me! Here’s to you!

Here’s to you! Here’s to me! Here’s to reason! Oh Here’s to me! Here’s to you! Raise the dead! Here’s to freedom!

11. Bring Down The Rain

Did you ever believe in your dreams before Were you always afraid of the dark Is the edge of the world always in your head Does the gun point straight at your heart

It used to come just when you sleep But now it’s only a shout away

You always seem to find the sun But this time the sun is a fire Bring down the rain This house is burning again Put out the flame Bring down the rain

You were told that the storm would just roll on by That the thunder was made in your mind And the heat in the night was to keep you warm And the truth could be told by a liar now You always seem to find the light But this time the light is a fire Bring down the rain This house is burning again Put down the flame Bring down the rain

Shake up break up everybody make up Everything’s always the same Trapped down trapped down everybody back down Bring down the rain

You always seem to find the light But this time, the light is a fire Bring down the rain This house is burning again Don’t play the game Bring down the rain Put out the flame Bring down the rain It’s the shake up break up everybody make up Well it’s always the same Trapped down cracked down everybody back down Won’t you bring down all the rain
