I WALKED GREEN MILES OF JUNGLE
I WALKED THROUGH YELLOW MILES OF PAIN
I CROSSED STARVATION'S DESERT
WATCHED DEAD RIVER SWELL WITH RAIN
THE SONG OF INSECTS FILLED THE AIR
NIGHTS IN CITIES OF DESPAIR
WHERE KILLER'S SONS SAID , SON BEWARE
AND ALL THE ROADS FROM HERE TO THERE
I SAILED THE SEA OF DESOLATION
DROPPED MY ANCHOR THERE
PLUMBED THE DEPTHS OF ISOLATION
WALKED ITS LENGTH AND WAS NOT SCARED
WENT FROM END TO END TO END
AND FROM THERE I WENT AGAIN
THE ROAD THAT ONLY THIS ONE KNOWS
OFF TO NOWHERE HERE I GO
ILLUMINATION COMES SO HARD
MAKES ME SEE BUT IT LEAVES ITS SCARS
AT TIMES I WISH THAT I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I KNOW NOW
THOUGHT AND THOUGHT UNTIL I LOST MY MIND
LOOKED AND LOOKED UNTIL I WENT NEAR BLIND
THE PATH IS FAIR BUT SO UNKIND
ILLUMINATION
AT NIGHT THE HIGHWAY'S DIESEL ROAR
SPEAKS TO ME AND TELLS ME MORE
THAN ANY BOOK I'VE EVER READ
OR ANYTHING YOU EVER SAID
WITH SILENT EYES INSIDE
I WATCH MYSELF AND WORLDS COLLIDE
THE SEASONS BURN AND CRACK MY SKIN
I STAY OUTSIDE AND LIVE WITHIN

One look in my eyes and you know what I came here for
One look in my eyes and you know what I came here for
Take a look at my eyes and you know what I came here for
Take a look at my eyes and you know what I came here for
I do a lot, I do a lot, I do a lot of stuff
I like it when, I like it when, I like it when it's tough
One look in my eyes and you know what I came here for
I don't live to please you, I just want to walk the line
I don't live to love you, I just want to walk the line
Man is just an animal underneath the sun
I'm nothing but an animal underneath the sun
Your woman looks good and I'm gonna see your blood tonight
Inspiration don't you tell me that you got none left
Inspiration don't you tell me that you got none left
I like it when it's over and another one's begun
I like it when it's over and another one's begun
I look at my watch and it always says it'stime to go go

I'm a monster
Walking these streets
Crawling these walls
Whatever it takes to get to you
It all starts and ends with you
Sometimes you hurt me but it's true
Don't want to love you but I do
I'm a monster
You touch me deep inside
Monster, monster from you I cannot hide
I'm a monster
No need to fear me
Crawl into my cave with me
Don't let this time go wasted
And I'm burning
Burning hard, burning real
Doing anything to feel
Something's gonna break before I'm done
Doing damage sounds like fun
Let's go out, let's go get some
. . .

I see you from across the room
Is there something on your mind?
I'm thinking about taking the round about route
I'm thinking about the straightest line
Is it me, or is me and you?
Give me some indication so I'll know what to do
Love's so heavy
Love's so heavy
Can you catch me as I'm falling past your window pane?
Love's so heavy
Catch me as I'm falling
Love is so heavy
There's always something that keeps us far apart
Seems like it's already over before it even starts
You said, she said, he said, I said
No one said a word
Is it something that I did or something that you heard?
Love's so heavy
Love's so heavy
I'm getting knotted up
Not again
Love's so heavy
Love's so heavy
Catch me as I'm falling
Love is so heavy
Look out
I never knew you like I wanted to
The things you said meant a lot to me
I wonder what they meant to you
So much I'd like to tell you
But I know you don't wanna know
Every time I want to be with you
Is the time that it's time to go
Oh well
Love's so heavy
Love's so heavy
Oh...ha...
Love's so heavy
Love's so heavy
Catch me as I'm falling
Love is so heavy
It's so heavy

Just took off my thinking cap
It got filled up with too much crap
Sat underneath the table and waited for the scraps
Morsels from the feast that you used to bait the trap, yeah
You set your sights to shoot me like a pigeon made of clay
You hit me but you missed me
You can't catch me, there's no way, no
Go on try it again
Na... ya missed me
All right stay with me son, we're working here
Ya ready, we'll see
I've watched you trash the mountain that was built before your time
You had to blow it up because you couldn't make the climb
You hide behind your money, it's too much for me to take
You and I both know you're just another junkie fake
Come on, burn out
Come on, burn out
Come on, burn out, burn out, burn out
The same way that it starts is the same way that it ends
You watch them going up and you see them falling down again
It's such a long way down
Lets' See multiple nose jobs, breast augmentation definitely, dyed hair, bleached teeth
They did something to your chin, don't know what that's about, it's intense though
It's like putting pearls on swine
You can dress up a pig but it's still a pig isn't it
Oink, Oink....Oink, Oink.... ha ha

You say your job is a pain
It's pulling you down the drain
I think you'd rather complain
Than quit it
He knocks you to the floor
But you go back for more when you could walk out the door
He's a loser honey, leave him
Win lose or draw
I want it all
Life's so short
No safety net
You get what you get
What you settle for
You say your town is too small, you live your life at the mall
You can't have it all until you leave it behind you
And you wait for the day when luck will come home to stay
You never get your way
You go out --you make it
Win lose or draw
I want it all
Life's so short
No safety net
You get what you get
What you settle for
Don't justify your complacency to me
That's not an adventure, that's a job
You say you lack what it takes
You say your face lacks a face
There's a fact you gotta face
They broke the mold when they made ya
Living under a cloud
Living quiet or loud
Another face in the crowd
Or one in ten million
Win lose or draw
I want it all
Life's so short
Win lose or draw
I want it all
Life's so short, life's so short, life's so short, life's to short man

What do you know?
Same as I know
How do you feel?
Same as I feel
Same old talk is going round and round
All the smiles are turning into frowns
When they say low and I say high
When they tell me that I better
I know it's all a lie
I know it's all a lie
I know it's all a lie
I know it's all a lie
I know it's all a lie
See them lined up
Bus stop wind up
Same day same time
Time to change up
Same old talk is dragging round and round
Pulls the smiles down into frowns
Look in the mirror, see your shining eyes
You know right then that you will never die
You'll never die
You'll never die
Will never die
Will never die
Ah look out man
Like I said
Brain like halo
I go day glo
They say go slow
I say hell no
Same old talk is going round and round
All the smiles are turning into frowns
Off to the races
On with the show
Show me the next place
I really wanna go
I wanna go
I wanna go
I wanna go
I wanna go

Are you ready to rock
Are you ready to rip it up
Do you know what I'm talking about
Are you ready to give it up
Are you ready to dance
Are you ready to hit the floor
Are you ready
Are you ready
If you're read I'm ready man
Are you ready to shake it up
Are you ready to tear it down
Are you ready to rip it up
Do you think I'm messing around
Are you ready to rock
Are you ready to hit the floor
Are you ready
Are you ready
If you're read I'm ready man
Are you ready to rip it up
Are you ready to tear it down
Are you ready to ......
Now you're finished messing around
Are you ready to rock
Are you ready to hit the floor
Are you ready
Are you ready
Since you're read I'm ready

Here you come again
Crucifixion mind
Got a hammer in your hand
You've got the look in your eye
But do you have what it takes?
You've got to ask yourself
Can you break me?
It's one thing to hold the hammer in your hand
But do you have it in you to pound the nail?
So many live infear of what only a few can do
What lives inside of you?
I see you staring
But you see me see right through
Now what are you gonna do? Can you kill me?
As you confront yourself
The hammer becomes so heavy
Your eyes are mine
Now you see me
It's one thing to hold the hammer in your hand
But do you have it in you can you pound that nail?
So many of you line up but so few of you cross the line
Talk is talk - kill is kill
Here I am
And there you are
With threats you only get so far
Take a look at yourself
You can't break me
Nothing to my name but I have so much more than you
Do what you're gona do
You can't kill me
It's one thing to hold the hammer in your hand
But do you have it in you can you pound that nail?
So many of you line up but so few of you cross the line
Talk is talk - kill is kill
Talk is talk - kill is kill
. . .

I remember when you told me that you had it all nailed down
I remember when you told me that you had it all sewn up
You said you'd go all night long
All night long
All night long
You said you'd go all night long
You let yourself down
Let yourself down
You let yourself down again
You let yourself down
Let yourself down
Let yourself down
Let yourself down
Let yourself down
Let yourself down
Hang like hang man, junk like junk yard
Live off girlfriend, say how life's hard
All night long
All night long
You said you'd go all night long
Let yourself down
You let yourself down again
You let yourself down
Let yourself down
Let yourself down
Let yourself down
Let yourself down
Let yourself down
You used to date porno, now you just rent
Do you really wonder where the good times went?
Everyone around you saying you're the man
Now you're standing in the mirror saying I'm the man
All night long
All night long
You said you'd go all night long
Let yourself down
Let yourself down
You let yourself down again
You let yourself down
Let yourself down
Let yourself down
Let yourself down
Let yourself down
Let yourself down

The lonely path I walk
To the end of the line
Let all my dreams be yours
Your nightmares mine
I call your name out
So I know I'm not alone
The brother interior
Inside my soul you're sewn
I won't be calling for long
Deep in my coma
Darkness is all I see
In the shadow of death
You light a way for me
My only brother
Why did you have to die?
You're always shining
The brightest star in the sky
I won't be crawling for long
Every day is a blessing
Every day I learn
Every night is a mission
And every time it's a lesson that burns
I now something better waits for me
Till then I live in memories
I won't be burning for long
. . .

Yea I'm running hot
I'm running hot
I'm running hotter and hotter and hotter
As the years go by I can't deny the flame that burns inside me
Many times I wonder why I still act the same way
Something burning inside, I get hotter and hotter
Got green lights standing in my way
Hotter and hotter, hotter and hotter, hotter and hotter, oh Yeah I refuse, I refuse
To standing around being abused
I'm already gone when you turn your head
Don't point your finger of blame
You see me burning like the sun in your eyes
And you want to slow down but I just have to fly
I'm hotter and hotter and hotter and hotter as the days go on, man
Hotter and hotter
As the days go on
Year after year after year after year
I'm on fire
You can't stop me
No need, no need to ever burn out. I'm scorching and torching no time for front porching.
Hotter and hotter and hotter and hotter and hotter... and hotter
Hotter and hotter and hotter and hotter and hotter and hotter and hotter and hotter
The days go on and the years go by and I'm hotter and hotter and flying on by
Better looking less of same I'm on my way to up the road to the next thing
You see me burning hotter and hotter and the years go by
You wonder to yourself how come that man hasn't burned out
Don't ask me why
Got green lights in front of me
Getting hotter and hotter you see
Hotter and hotter and hotter and hotter and hotter...oh yea
Hotter and hotter and hotte and hotter and hotter you see
Hotter and hotter and hotte and hotter and hotter you see
Gasoline for breakfast, Napalm for lunch
Hotter and hotter and hotte and hotter and hotter... yea ... yea ... yea
