Motley Crue

Look inside the mirror
But i don't know who i see
Smoke another cigarette
A smile holds back the tears
These contradictions
Seem to be the story of my life
A simple man with memories
Of those long lost golden days
I close my eyes and slowly driftaway

Mistakes i've made remind me
Of the roads i shouldn't choose
Never comes that easy
When you've nothing left to lose
I can't see the answers
Tell me why am i so blind?
A tired man who'll make the best
Of another lonely day
I close my eyes and slowly driftaway

Never thought i'd make it
Just from playin' my guitar
Just a little smile
Always shelters me from pain
Everytime i start to slide
I wish upon a star
The sun comes out
And dries up all the rain

I'm an honest man
Who refused the shade
On a hot and lonely day
I close my eyes and dream my life away
Now i know that i can stop the rain
Close my eyes and slowly driftaway

Act like jesus crucified again
These four walls are closing in
Who and what do you think you are
A rich mother-fucker in a fancy car?
Concrete jackal sucking on the past
Gold card junkie kissin' money's ass

(chorus)
You're the monkey on my back
And it's time for you to go
Hammered!
You're more harm than my advice
And i don't wanna know

Hey, mr. big time hollywood
Tell your story walkin'
If you think you could
Your money's runnin' low
On your cocaine whores
Nothin' but a rat scratchin' at my door
Now i've said all i'm gonna say
Times will judge, see who fades away

(chorus)

Now you're feelin' low, tired, and beaten
Razor blades and daggers pierce your soul
You're six feet in the hole
Get down on your knees in hollywood
Time to kiss some ass
You're the monkey on my back
And it's time for you to go
Hammered!

She's a revolution, anarchy in hell
On high heels
I get called the villain
Washin' down my love with her pills
Lips are speakin' chaos, but her eyes are
As blue as the sea
She carries mother's bible
Mixes valium with her beliefs
And you know she gets me high
I've see flowers and razors in her hair
She's walkin' trouble with an innocence
I'll just sit here thinkin' on my window sill
She keeps me high, miss babykills
She's sugar but she's spicy, licks the
Venom off her lips
Dressed like a school girl
Loves her poisoned fingertips
I just know i love her, she sent
From above for me
And you know she gets me high
I've see flowers and razors in her hair
She's talkin' trouble with an inner sense
I'll just sit here thinkin' on my window sill
She keeps me high, miss babykills

Are you ready for suicide?
Let me run a razor across your throat
You took a child for a ride
Led them down a long and shameful road
It rips my heart out to see you livin'
You gave them money in exchange for pain
You're the monster in the closet
They'll take your secrets with them to their graves

Locked you away behind cast iron doors
Rather see you dead on the floor
I hope that you're feeling so much pain now

Uncle jack
Can you hear them still screamin'?
Broken hearts, broken dreams
Uncle jack
Is your evil still creepin'?
Never comin' back here again
What were you thinkin', are you human?
Took their innocence and made them slaves
You want forgiveness, you're so sorry
I'd rather put you in an unmarked grave

Locked you away behind cast iron doors
Rather see you dead on the floor
I hope that you're feeling so much pain now

Uncle jack
Can't you see them still bleedin'?
Broken hearts, broken dreams
Uncle jack
Tell me how are you sleepin'
Never comin' back here again

Uncle jack
Can't you hear them still screamin'?
Broken hearts, broken dreams
Uncle jack
Is your evil still creepin'?

Why? tell me why

When you look into my eyes
Tell me what you see
I don't think you even realize
The pride inside of me
I've walked my walk, talked my talk
Lived and died in my songs
Temptation cuts so deep
It's fires still burn so strong
You know i've lived a few mistakes
And i stand by them
It's me, myself, and i
'til death do us part
If you want to criticize
Then you can't believe anything you read
What you see is all of me...
I've talked the talk and walked the walk
Who thought i'd live this long?
This life's been hard
Like a switchblade, blind fate, suicide
And i stand by them
It's me, myself, and i
'til death do us part
Sometimes my words may cut too deep
And i step on a toe or two
Well i'm half dead and barely half alive
But i live by the truth
'til death do us part

A war zone in the streets
It's anarchy and siege
We hope it goes away
Graffiti on the walls in modern babylon
Nothing left to save
Feel the rebel's heed
Revolution undermines belief
My eyes have seen this shit before
We're barely hangin' by the skin of our teeth

We've all raped it
The future's wasted
We can't save it now
We're droppin' like flies
Bye, bye, your droppin' like flies

Hate is growing fast
In a haze cloud of crack
But it helps us fade away
Some inner city queen french kisses his disease
With one foot in the grave
And the junkyard we call home
Is primed and ready for another war
My, my, my, the children have no chance
These eyes have seen this all go down before

We've all raped it
The future's wasted
Can we take it?
Is nothing sacred?
We can't save it now

Woke up late in a fresh dug grave
With a conscience on my brain
I'm not here to save your world
But mine won't stay the same
We're droppin' like flies
Bye, bye, your droppin' like flies

Took a greyhound bus down heart attack and vine
With a fistful of dreams and dimes
So far out i didn't know that i was in
Had a taste for a life of slime
When push came to shove
Music was the drug
And the band always got to play
Sex, smack, rock, roll, mainline, overdose
Man, we lived it night and day
We love our mott the hoople
It kept us all so enraged
And you loved us, and you loved us, and you loved us
We're so fucking beautiful
Pretty little poison apples
See the scars tattooed on our face
It's our disgrace
Pretty little poison apples
Mama said now don't ya walk this way
Just find some faith
Tabloid sleaze just maggots on their knees
Diggin' in the dirt for slag
Moonshine, strychnine, speedball, shootin' lines
Anything to push their rags
Still we love our mott the hoople
It keeps us so enraged
And you love us, then you hate us, then you love us
We're so fucking beautiful
Pretty little poison apples
See the scars tattooed on our face
It's your disgrace
Pretty little poison apples
Mama said now don't you walk this way
Just find some faith
Blueprints for disaster
Better not push me cause i'll bring you to your knees
Blueprints for disaster
Better not love me cause i'll bring you to your knees
Pretty little poison apples
