Diamond Head Lyrics

Lyrics

Calling Your Name (The Light)

Damnation Street

Don't You Ever Leave Me

I Can't Help Myself

I Need Your Love

In The Heat Of The Night

Knight Of The Swords

Let Me Down Easy

Lightning To The Nations

Shoot Out The Lights

Starcrossed (Lovers of the Night)

Streets Of Gold

Sucking My Love

Sweet And Innocent

To Heaven From Hell

To The Devil His Due

Waited Too Long

We Won't Be Back

Wild On The Streets

Am I Evil?
My mother was a witch, she was burned alive
Thankless little bitch, for the tears I cried
Take her down now, don't wanna see her face
Blistered and burnt, can't hide my disgrace
27 every one was nice, gotta see them,
Make them pay the price
See their bodies out on the ice, take my time
Am I evil, yes I am
Am I evil, I am man
As I watched my Mother die, I lost my head
Revenge now I sought, to break with my bread
Takin' no chances, you come with me
I'll split you to the bone
Help set you free.
27 every one was nice, gotta see them,
Make them pay the price
See their bodies out on the ice, take my time
Am I evil, yes I am
Am I evil, I am man
On with the action now, I'll strip your pride
I'll spread your blood around, I'll see you ride
Your face is scarred with steel, wounds deep and neat
Like a double dozen before you, smell so sweet.
27 every one was nice, gotta see them,
Make them pay the price
See their bodies out on the ice, take my time
Am I evil, yes I am
Am I evil, I am man
I'll make my residence, I'll watch your fire
You can come with me, sweet desire
My face is long forgotten, my face not my own
Sweet and timely whore, take me home.

Borrowed Time
On scorched earth return me to be a simple man
I am destined by the gods to walk this land
An embittered poet, a slave to this black blade
Oh, my heart still searches for truth, a lost age
I have loved, I have lost
I have killed those who have loved me so
I have loved, at what cost
Lord, I don't know
I'm living on borrowed time
I'm living on borrowed time
These robes, purple royal, claim me their own
From a city lost in dust, I stand alone
Evil thoughts; evil minds; must I live like I do?
Without fear, on borrowed time she helps me through
I have loved, I have lost
I have killed those who have loved me so
I have loved, at what cost
Lord, I don't know
I'm living on borrowed time
I'm living on borrowed time
On scorched earth return me to be a simple man
I am destined by the gods to walk this land
To search for love, to search for love
All in my heart, is this enough love...
As Satan's child, I stand alone in hand
I'm a nomad of this desert, barren lands
My time is short, wild gods of air and sea
Stand by your corruption, and thrive by sorcery
I have loved, I have lost
I have killed those who have loved me so
I have loved, at what cost
Lord, I don't know
I'm living on borrowed time
I'm living on borrowed time
I'm living on borrowed time
I'm living on borrowed time

Calling Out Your Name (The Light)
All that I see...in your eyes is truth,
All that I am...is because of you...oh
All that I have I will give to you my friend
All that there is, all that I am,
Until the very end
I'm calling out to the silent night
I'm calling out your name...oh
Calling out to the son and the light,
Calling out your name
Oh now, see what you see.
That you really love me
Oh my life is clear
To be near
How still is the night without your touch
Cold are my tears without your love
...without your love
You're all that I am all that I need
All that I can be
Something so strong to hold up my world so I can be free
I can be heard
Calling out to the silent night
I'm calling out your name...oh
Calling out to the son and the light,
Calling out your name
Oh now, see what you see.
That you really love me
Oh Lord my life is clear
But I'm out here in a field of dreams.
Dreams
Callin', callin' callin' out to the son
Callin' out 'til you come
Callin' out in my shame
Callin' your name

Call Me
Four O'clock in the morning now
Well I can't sleep for love
Been waiting for you to call
To say you love me enough
It clouds my head that unhappy night
Please forgive every word
I see it all much clearer now
It all seems so absurd
But my plane leaves at 10a.m.
We both know I must go
To return I must be told
That you know what I know
Call me, baby Call me
Call me, baby Call me
To tell the truth I don't want to go
So say you want me to stay
You are more than all to me
This is no game that I play
But my plane leaves at 10a.m.
We both know I must go
To return I must be told
That you know what I know
Call me, baby Call me
Call me, baby Call me
Call me, baby Call me
Call me, baby Call me
But my plane leaves at 10a.m.
We both know I must go
To return I must be told
That you know what I know
Say you love me, say you do
Let me tell you
Tell me that you want me to stay
baby, baby, baby

Canterbury
Blessed stand I, he has in fear
Yield to despair,
Four swords drawn, sworn to Kings,
A will that they share,
Oh to die for martyrdom,
Wash the wind martyrdom, with blood,
In Canterbury, oh, oh, in Canterbury.
She's settled as evil,
As a plague to destroy old Canterbury,
Bear witness to malady,
For here the chords that will make history,
Oh mystery.
They say 'strike him down!'
'strike him down!'
His 'strife stirred France' repaid by those
Who'll raise their hearts
To spite the people of Canterbury.
Ethereal Cathedral,
Your voice, the voice of Canterbury,
Resist your temptations
And look to the wind, for conspiracies, ooh Infamy!
They say 'strike him down!'
'strike him down!'
Let stone and oak decay the crown. Who'll raise their hearts
To spite the people of Canterbury.
When her dead breath has numbered the land,
And Barons will rule as they planned.
Oh Cathedral you've died!
Oh Cathedral you lied!
The sins of our Fathers,
You are here with me,
Can we forgive you?
For the fall of Canterbury.

Damnation Street
Ever since school days
I've walked a fool's way
With no love to find me
No dream to hide me
No kindness inside this heart with a stone's kiss
Just a short fall to the dawn, when you're walking on dead man's feet
Down on Damnation street
You got nobody's love
Down on Damnation street
We got nobody's love
Walkin', Walkin', Walkin' Down on Damnation Street
Did you ever have a chance of finding someone who needs you?
This world has got itself
And there's nothing for the likes of you and me
Without love
You'll try it, you'll buy it, you'll find it empty
As a stones kiss
Just like your date with Jesus
When you're walking on dead man's feet
Down on Damnation street
You got nobody's love
Down on Damnation street
We got nobody's love
Walkin', Walkin', Walkin' Down
Better get on your knees
Humility please
Gotta pray to be free
From the slavery of freedom
Free to be nothing
21st Century here and now
Then gone like a thief in the night
Walkin' Damnation Street walking
Walkin' Damnation Street walking
Just goin' down, down, just going
Down, just goin' down, down, just going
Down down down on Damnation Street

Dead Reckoning
New York City
New York time 2084
Business man makes a deal for a nuclear war
Time is right, split the atom, and the Berlin wall.
Bring your dead
Nuclear holocaust will fall
Dead reckoning
Dead reckoning
Make a deal
Time is right to start your fight
Friends are here, all are waiting for the night
Just reckon, to see if its alright
??? Dead reckoning
Dead reckoning
City weeps, children run to hide their skins
Time will stop, as the nuclear war begins
???? Children die, but I'm sure no-one can win
New York City
New York time 2085
Business man, he is dead no-one left alive
Saturn sky, a fire has just arrived
I can see, what a waste for the tears you cried
Dead reckoning
Dead reckoning
Dead reckoning
Dead reckoning
Dead reckoning
I reckon you're dead

Diamond Lights
I have just arrived the soundcheck gets underway
Three hours to go, then it's time to play
Check guitars now baby, everything looks fine
Now to do a number, take our time
I smile as I look around me
The band plays so tight
I look around me, I see and feel
Diamond lights, Diamond lights
Soundcheck's finished baby, time to tell a joke or two
Relax, can't let it get to you
The haunted theatre now has come to life
Time to tip you hat to the band
Curtain up, the people welcome you
Guess everything's alright
I see the people now, hypnotised by
Diamond lights, Diamond lights
Diamond lights, Diamond lights
Diamond lights, Diamond lights
Diamond lights, Diamond lights
Diamond lights, Diamond lights

Don't You Ever Leave Me
Oh Babe
I can recall the day
Close enough to make me feel bad
Seems like only yesterday
Still in my heart it makes me sad
Oh no, oh no
Don't you ever leave me baby
Oh no, oh no
Don't you ever leave me
Oh no, oh no
Don't you ever leave me baby
Oh no, oh no
Don't you ever leave me
I can remember that night I cried
The love we had, you said you don't give me no more
And as you kissed my lips goodbye
I called out to you now to close the door
Oh no, oh no
Don't you ever leave me baby
Oh no, oh no
Don't you ever leave me
Oh no, oh no
Don't you ever leave me baby
Oh no, oh no
Don't you ever leave me
Don't you leave me baby
Don't you leave me baby
Don't you leave me baby
Don't you leave me baby
Don't you leave me baby
Don't you leave me baby

Dust
I've tried believin' even tried cheatin' myself
of almost everything just to fashion reason out of what
must have been nothin' at all
Now I can't when exactly I saw through the darkness and into the light
Fantastic as it was it was cool and bright
Like on a steely night of shadows
Still far from home
When I came round
I saw myself on a merry go round
With my heart on the ground
And there I see
The rains coming down to wash away the dream we found
Lyin' there for all to see in the dust of memories
Where the rain beats down to wash away the dream we found
Now there's nothing left for me
But you can set me free
I won't believe ya neither deceive ya when you say we gotta carry on
'Cos I know the dream is over
The one we shared so long...too long
When we could have been getting on just being friends
And not holding on to the past
Which is just sand
I guess we try to belong
'Cos we have to be strong just to get it done
But I was on the ground most of the time
On a merry go round looking up but going down
And there I see the rains comin' down to wash away the dream we found
Lyin' there for all to see in the dust of memories
Where the rain beats down to wash away the dream we found
Now there's nothing left for me
Can you see? The rain beat down, rain come down
But what can we do with a thing like you
A heart with a hard on for ignorance
A child of fools where nothing rings true
In a myth that's cruel, where I see the cross
You see the nail, where you see the mytsery I see the failure
And it's bringing me down, I'm just a clown
On a merry go round looking up but going down
And there I see the rains comin' down to wash away the dream we found
Lyin' there for all to see in the dust of memories
Where the rain beats down to wash away the dream we found
A spider fingered vice all sugar and spice
Runnin' down my face feelin' like black rain
Clawin' under my skin and running through my veins
Like a poison I must suck just to change my luck
Where the rain beats down to wash away the dream we found
Rain beat down...down...rain beat down
Down Down Down Down Down Yeah
Rain beat down...Dream come down

Only time will tell if I make it myself someday
The stage is mine, music is my destiny
Cannot squeeze the life from me
I can see the stars, I can see what's going on
Every night alone, I sing my songs just for fun
This business ain't for laughs, business men don't like it so

Helpless, helpless, oohh
Helpless, helpless, oohh

I Need Your Love
So here I am
The Class of seventy six
Worn, drawn and frayed
Not to wonder why at this.
The way of things to come
The beat has just begun
I need your love
I need so much - love
I need your love
I need your love, need you here.
So I can sleep
So I'll not dream of war
To reassure the me you've brought so far
The way of things to come
The beat has just begun
I need your love
I need so much - love
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
The way of things to come
The beat has just begun

In The Heat Of The Night
Steely eyes of a silvery people
Walk behind me, with evil intent.
Up to the tower, I stand alone
Stripped of rank before a throne I am sent.
What befalls us in the heat of the night?
What befalls us in the heat of the night?
Before long, behind adamantine doors,
I taste of the wine of their joy.
Through delirium of a tortured mind
Her face gave me strength to this day.
What befalls us in the heat of the night?
What befalls us in the heat of the night?
In the heat of the night
But love deceived me, and in my despair
I recalled the ring once again
Born of Sorrow my cunning revives me,
And I took them with me enchained
What befalls us in the heat of the night?
What befalls us in the heat of the night?
In the heat of the night

Ishmael
Search my heart for things i've done
when dragon's teeth are poised for war
can we be sure of peace at all,
when the spirit moves the world,
wo oh oh oh oh oh,
Ishmael, oh Ishmael
Ishmael, oh Ishmael
The prophets blood, we call our own
a pause for thought, come kingdom come,
will you be swords for Gideon,
when the spirit moves the world,
wo oh oh oh oh oh
What wrong have I done
Ishmael, oh Ishmael
Ishmael, oh Ishmael
So when the truth has come to pass,
and our misdeeds are in the past
will you again, be moved to ask,
when the spirit moves the world
ooh wo oh oh oh oh
waht wrong have I done
Ishmael, oh Ishmael
I hear you well, oh Ishmael....

Knight Of The Swords
A jewelled sceptre plucked by order to serve their cause
To vanquish the swords of chaos and tip the scales again
The last of noble blood you know time must take its course
You blood red robe will never feel the same
For beyond the sea of fire
To embrace a fate you've known
To split the heart of destiny
Up to the bitter throne
Knight of the swords
Knight of the swords
Knight of the swords
Knight of the swords
At first his thirst for vengeance fuelled his bitter heart
As he scaled through time and beyond the learning tree
Ghostly ships trapped in mystic bands summon to play
Sorcerer of chain, come we'll set you free
For beyond the sea of fire
To where pain can call her home
To stir the rock of destiny
Up to the bitter throne
Knight of the swords
Knight of the swords
Knight of the swords
Knight of the swords
The curse of a cause
Knight of the swords
The knoght of the swords
A tear does fill this man
So beyond the sea of fire she calls, she calls
For beyond the sea of fire
And above the heart of man
To stir the rock alacrity
And strike her bonds again
Knight of the swords
Knight of the swords
Knight of the swords
Knight of the swords
The curse of the swords
Knight of the swords
The knight of the swords

Let Me Down Easy

When I want you
I don't need you
Oh babe
I don't need to know your name
Cos that's when I know
I got to run away, got to hide away
'Cos you are a world of wonderful things
A bonfire of vanities
Baby you, let me down easy
Oh girl you, let me down easy
Let me down
You're a shadow, your own illusion
And I'm not taken in by anything that you say or do
All that I know
I got to hide my face
'Cos you are a world of wonderful things
A bonfire of vanities
Baby you, let me down easy
Oh girl you, let me down easy
Oh baby you, let me down easy
Like a ring without a heart
Like a baby without some kind of love
Let me down easy
Let me down easy
Let me down easy
Let me down easy

Makin Music
One new heart, looking to learn it all from Rock n Roll,
so beat your drum from the start,
it was clear we had a lot to learn our souls to be won.
have we the faith for you for good and bad we're due.

I was fooled by what I do
Makin Music
don't you see
it ain't for me,
it's for you
it's for you.

One More Night
You're like a jewel, that burns into me well,
you are a school without the time for bells,
I am a wanderer looking out for warmth
only from you can I get what I want
so don't cut me loose for what's the use
that would be lies and goodbyes
All I want, a night with you
one night with you
one night with you
one more night with you
I walk on the wind, the future comes and goes,
I'll dance to a tune and with it all her wrongs.
And touch me again, silk caress my head,
wide eyed boy's makin' noise when being read.
so don't cut me loose for what's the use
that would be lies and goodbyes
All I want, a night with you
one night with you
one night with you
one more night with you
all I want, one night with you
wo oh oh oh oh
spend more time with you....

Out Of Phase
You never listen in to what they know
they only play the songs you've always known
can replace the roll of fifty nine
as you are and always were in love that time
You're unsure of the marriage vow
lived it once, and in it hide you now,
the morning ash the fire of sixty nine
will remain with you and hope for better times
Out of phase
will you always be
out of phase
getting back to me
out of phase, out of phase
Finding love, you go to memories
hold on tight, romantic hearts are near
going somewhere, is there anywhere
that smiles aloud, a place where all are proud.
Out of phase
will you always be
out of phase
getting back to me
out of phase, out of phase
Looking around me
you're not the only one
looking for something old
looking for something done
out of phase, out of phase
out of phase, out of phase
wo oh oh wo oh oh
Out of phase
will you always be
out of phase
getting back to me
out of phase, out of phase
Never seeing, never saying who you are
don't conform to them
you're better as you are,
out of phase, out of phase.....

Ah ah ah I'm screamin' now at the top of my head
Can't keep my silence in place full of dread
Just gotta hole in the ground for my bed
I don't eat, 'cause I ain't fed
Ain't there a new world for us in your head
'Cause we are here now and we ain't dead
We ain't gonna give it up
Tell it to the Lord above
We ain't gonna let you down 'til you come and get it done
And we got Paradise won
Paradise Paradise Paradise Paradise Paradise Paradise
We gonna tear down this house of your dreams
Kick it in till the enemas gone
Don't stop for nothin' 'til we dug our way out
Get it done, Paradise won
Ain't there a new world for us here instead
'Cause we are here now and we ain't dead
We ain't gonna give it up
Tell it to the Lord above
Paradise Paradise Paradise Paradise Paradise Paradise
Little monkey's on an elevator
Whores and pimps with teeth like alligators
Just putting junk on the funkin' table
Building up another Tower of Babel
We got a prison made from dreams and deceit
Gotta monkey on our back every week
Just gotta hole in the ground for my bed
I don't sleep 'cause I ain't dead
We ain't gonna give it up
Tell it to the Lord above
We ain't gonna let you down 'til you come and get it done
And we got Paradise won
In pretty little Paradise oh
In pretty little Paradise where they
See no evil. Speak no evil. Hear no evil
Paradise Paradise Paradise Paradise
Gonna rip it up and start again

Play It Loud
Hey mom, what do you say
I've seen the lights more than what they say
The music's fine, I like it loud
I play my song, loud and proud
Yeah baby, it's alright
It's so late, I'll take my time
Light the lights and burn my brain
Sweeten me, it's just the same
Hey dad, what do you say, oh yeah
You gotta know, know, know what makes my day
You hit it good, you hit it right
I'm going on now, I'll be good tonight
Yeah baby, it's alright
It's so late, I'll take my time
Light the lights and burn my brain
Sweeten me, it's just the same
Play it loud...
Oh I want you to, I'll groove you too
Loud, oh, that's gotta be
You know it's gotta be

Run
The dogs are howling and the night is black enough to touch
So hold up that fire burning flame of love
And when the darkness comes like it does for us all
You'd better run to my world
And we'll never come down when we're up, we're up
And we'll never stop trying
Ooh baby when i's tough, it's tough
But what can I do when I'm loving you
And there's only need, the need for us too
I'm racing to you on the breath of fire
My lips are open with that sweet desire
So come running to me yeah
Run, like the wind to my heart
Don't stop, run to my world
Run, to my mountain top
Run, til you drop
And we've got nothing but time
In a world of lies
But when I see love right there in my baby's eyes
I can hold on to that something we've got
I can be strong, just strong enough for the two of us
Into the shadows of love we go
A familiar heartland at the edge of home
On a long road I'll see you there
Run, like the wind to my heart
Don't stop, run to my world
Run, to my mountain top
Run baby run baby run baby run baby
Run, don't stop, ooh run baby run, ooh run baby run
Hold on to that fire burning flame of love
Run yeah run
Run to my world
Run to my mountain top
Run 'til you drop

Shoot Out The Light
Let me tell you now, about a friend of mine
He tried to shoot them lights, with whiskey and the wine
He didn't get so far, ah his gun was wrong
Now my sweet friend, where's your song?
Shoot out the lights, shoot out the lights
Shoot out the lights, shoot out the lights
Now that friend of mine, he never made a day
Didn't know what to do, told him to get away
I ain't going yet he said, I'm gonna be a star
I got a gun my friend, sitting in the car
Shoot out the lights, shoot out the lights
Shoot out the lights, shoot out the lights
Let me tell you now, about a friend of mine
He tried to shoot them lights, with whiskey and the wine
He didn't get so far, ah his gun was wrong
Now my sweet friend, where's your song?
Shoot out the lights, shoot out the lights
Shoot out the lights, shoot out the lights

Starcrossed (Lovers of the Night)
Flyin' high, starcrossed lovers of the night
Flyin' high, starcrossed lovers of the night
You're flying high into a sky of screaming stars
Across a universe erected in your heart
Where tomorrow always comes from yesterday's departed
Crimes...Designs...Mischief on your mind
Venus in her chariot of fire draws her flame
Passion pours herself a drink and calls you by her name
Slippin'...Slidin'...Sacrificing love for something nameless
that seems a little nearer to your dreams are here
Take another cup of sin and fill it up
Take another sip of hemlock to your lips
Be deceived by lies and you're flying high
Flyin' high, starcrossed lovers of the night
Flyin' high, starcrossed lovers of the night
A kind of atrophy affected you at birth
So instead of living you decided you were dead
Lovers of the night in your confusion
You stand and then you fall
In your illusion
And you'll try flyin' high
You better come down, still flying high
You better come down, you're on the moon
You better come down

Streets of Gold
Well I know what I want, I know how to get it
These streets in my mind, needing more
I long to survive, I call for yesterday
Feel all this passion, love some more
Streets of gold
I gotta make my stand
Streets of gold, oohh
Well I know what I need, when Ma wrote me a note
Said come home to stay, I said no
Can you see the light, long to her far away
Streets of gold
I gotta make my stand
Streets of gold, oohh
Well I know what I want, I know how to get it
These streets in my mind, needing more
I long to survive, I call for yesterday
Feel all this passion, love some more
Streets of gold
I gotta make my stand
Streets of gold, oohh

Sucking my Love
Over and under, do you go down to the sea
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Sweet and timely caress, dear babe fulfillin' me
I can feel her heart, it is beating down inside
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Tasty, tasty, tasty, tasty
Into her valley, all her charms taste of love
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Fragrance of my dreams, yeah go down, take my love
Oh yeah, yeah

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Tasty, tasty, tasty, tasty

Oh Lord, sucking my love

Sweet And Innocent
You live it good girl
And baby you live it high
You reach it easily, makes me wanna cry
You look so fine girl
I suppose you always do
So fine and so sweet
It's good to look at you
Sweet and innocent
And settled down
Sweet and innocent
I'll pass around, yeah
You ain't in fashion
Baby you're as one
It's not long before - it's much more than fun
Yes it's taking chances, but they don't want to know
And since your fine baby left you
Don't know which way to go
Sweet and innocent
And settled down
Sweet and innocent
I'll pass around, yeah
You live it good girl
And baby you live it high
You reach it easily, makes me wanna cry
You take it good girl
I don't know who will bring you down
Who will bring you down
Sweet and innocent
And settled down
Sweet and innocent
I'll pass around, yeah

The Kingmaker
At risk of traitors gate he'll raise,
The seed of power now, has grown in size,
intent to crown his bloody prize,
ooh, resolute as a King to soar,
The sword of lies he takes to war
To breach the wall and nations fall.
The quick of steel, betrays his fear,
Ambition plays her part, that's clear,
Betrayed is how he'll die,
Dismayed by anguish, cries,
Enslaved by desperate crfimes
Oh betrayed by time.

The Prince
Now I see his face, I've seen him smile
Such in a lonely place, no golden mile
His eyes tell morbid tales, of his black heart
His deeds through ages past, tell of his part
See his face, see his smile
Time to die An angel from below, change my dreams
I want for glory's hour, for wealth's esteem
I wish to sell my soul, to be reborn
I wish for earthly riches, don't want no crown of thorns
See his face, see his smile
Time to die I was born a fool, don't want to stay that way
Devil take my soul, with diamonds you repay
I don't care for heaven, don't you look for me to cry
And I will burn in Hell, from the day I die
See his face, see his smile
Time to die

To Heaven From Hell
Lonely moor, sky is grey
Moon acroos the waves
See the steely shafts of light reflect across the bay
Towards the tower
The coach prepares
To shed its load of life
I'm prepared for what they see
For what they meet tonight
To Heaven form Hell
I've been there before
To Heaven from Hell
Sweet I'm Sure
To Heaven form Hell
I've been there before
To Heaven from Hell
Lock my door
On we go, up to the castle
Death waits for our call
left unkempt, but quietly praying
Remembers when to call
Alone for now
But soon not so
As we return to reclaim
The home of my generations
lost but now remain
To Heaven form Hell
I've been there before
To Heaven from Hell
Sweet I'm Sure
To Heaven form Hell
I've been there before
To Heaven from Hell
Lock my door
Oh Lord now help
Its entrance falling down
The madness of our fathers law
The pain of retribution
The house brought down to ground
Sins of my ancestors
The judgement day's at hand
Yeah
The creeping voice of fire
Screams out for bloody war
Send out the grave

To The Devil His Due
Don't ya hide away from the bad things coming to you,
Don't ya hide your face from the things that don't ring true,
Good times, bad times, that may be so,
you're just part of the game and they never stop letting you know
but we hold the key to the future game,
we live in hope, she'll stay the same,
hold on there just a little longer,
ooh baby, good times, bad times.
Ah ah ah ah, to the devil his due
Ah ah ah ah, to the devil his due
Ah ah ah ah, to the devil his due
You stay good baby and don't you get bad at all,
and I might tell you now what I see in my crystal ball,
good times, bad times, coming your way,
ooh now watch out baby, the devil's gonna have his day.
but we hold the key to the future game,
we live in hope, she'll stay the same,
hold on there just a little longer,
ooh baby, good times, bad times.

Ah ah ah ah, to the devil his due
Ah ah ah ah, to the devil his due

to the devil, his due....

Trick Or Treat
I'd give her a chance, but she'd spit back in my face
Sweet little girl, don't you know you're a disgrace
You don't know what's right from wrong
You ain't got no god damn soul
Flames eat my heart can you feel my desire
I want to take you higher and higher
You don't know what's right from wrong
You ain't got no god damn soul
You don't know what's right from wrong
And still to you I give this song
Trick or Treat, Trick or Treat ( I can't say no)
Trick or Treat, Trick or Treat
You don't know what's right from wrong
You ain't got no god damn soul
Trick or Treat, Trick or Treat (you're just what I need)
Trick or Treat, Trick or Treat (I need your soul)
ad lib....

Truckin'
Black clouds in a red sky. No light but the war fires
No time, like the time of our lives.
It's the crime of our lives, Flashing by
Too much affectation, no love in your frustrations
so we fail, how can we sit and just sit while this world goes to shit
Hide. Think you can hide yourself away?
Hide. When there ain't no peace on earth today.
Get runnin', it's comin'
Wheel goin' round round.
World comin' down down
Black bell rings out the old ways
Death comes to steal the new day
All secrets to be revealed. After all these years
It shall be fulfilled. No time for you to hide
It's gonna run you into the ground.
Hide. When there ain't no peace on earth today.
It's comin', get runnin'.
Look through the darkness and see it come.
You can't escape, you gotta face it head on.
No time to burn, no time to slide
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
What have we done now?
No time to burn, no time to slide
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Truckin' Truckin'
Feel the weight bearing down, down
Truckin' Truckin'
When there ain't no peace on earth to be found.
No time, in a stop sign
No light, on the dark side
No fight, in the man who can't live with the self that he learned how to.
Hide. Think you can hide yourself away?
Hide. When there ain't no peace on earth today.
Truckin' Truckin'
Looking to run you into the ground
It's comin', get runnin'
All our souls goin' down down.
Wheels goin' round round.

Waited Too Long
Now I feel I must say goodbye, I wanted you to see
It's not over between you and I, I'm sure you must agree
I gave you time but not enough it seems
I'm saying baby
Waited too long, waited too long for you to see
Waited too long, I've waited too long
Waited too long, waited too long
Waited to long for you to be
Waited too long, waited too long
Ooh baby, I must be moving on
Cos now I know we're not in love
And soon I will be gone
The times that we've had, good and bad
I'm saying baby
Waited too long, waited too long for you to see
Waited too long, I've waited too long
Waited too long, waited too long
Waited to long for you to be
Waited too long, waited too long
I will be moving on, I've waited so long
Soon I will be gone, oh don't you see

We Won't Be Back
O.K. No surrender, I've got fear running down my spine
And back to sender, this may be my last time
I get the gun now, over the top to death
Watch them cry, Watch them die
We won't be back again
No no, we won't be back
No no, we won't be back
No no, we won't be back
Please remember, remember me from my past
Please be tender, Momma, this letter may be my last
I get the gun now, over the top to death
Watch them cry, Watch them fly
We won't be back again
No no, we won't be back
No no, we won't be back
No no, we won't be back
Oh no we won't be back again
No no we won't be back again
No no we won't be back again
No no we won't be back again
I've been telling you
We won't be back
We won't be back

Wild On The Streets
The words of freedom on the tongue of a snake
With a democratic face bought and paid for by the lies of the state
Without a human trait well under the heels of a tyranny waits
A long forgotten voice
And revolution is the ultimate fate of the whip and the gun
Nowhere to run is nothing like fun
Out in the heat, Wild on the streets
Wild on the streets, wild on the streets
People listen to the words of a friend
To lie you have to breath
Television hey tell it again
The people pay no heed
We want equality but what do we get
Bullets and ballots again
Roll in your grave Beethoven and the death beat marches on
Nowhere to run is nothing like fun
Out in the heat, Wild on the streets
Wild on the streets, wild on the streets
On leather jackets and broken chain
In walls of mortar and ties
These are the words of our fate inscribed
Standing twelve feet high
Here are the free men who inherit the earth
Here are the words that died
Buried under six feet of dirt and the death beat marches on
Nowhere to run is nothing like fun
Out in the heat, Wild on the streets
Wild on the streets, wild on the streets
