Well she's a mean hard woman and she knows what she wants
She is my tattooed rock n roll dancer
I'm under her thumb and when she tells me come, oh hi's the only way i can answer

They're gonna put me away
Put me away
God damn them

Well i can hear her meaning like a dog that's on heat
She never takes no for an answer
She's driving me mad, she makes it good to be bad, my little tattooed rock n roll dancer

They'll try to put me away
Put me away
God damn them

They'll never put me away
Put me away
God soul's on fire

Tattooed dancer
Dance for me bitch

I think i'm in grave danger, goin' over the top
There is no question only an answer
She can't give me love, i think i've fallen in lust with my tattooed rock n roll dancer

They'll never put me away
Put me away
God damn them

They'll never put me away
Put me away
God soul's on fire

They'll never put me away
God soul's on fire

Been around this world so many times
If you could only see my mind
I watch my secret heaven turn to hell

Faith alone has guided me
The ghost of my own destiny
I haven't even got a soul to sell

All the thing i put me through
I wouldn't wish my hell on you
You'll never know what's going on inside

Just another lonely broken hero
Picking up the pieces of my mind
Running out of faith and hope and reason
I'm running out of time
Running out of time

Trouble always seems find
A way to live inside my mind
My haunted head and me remain alone
Underneath my masqerade
A simple man who's so afraid
I try to find a light to guide me home

Momma please just hold me tight
Feeling so afraid tonight
Cause your the only one that really knows

Just another lonely broken hero
Picking up the pieces of my mind
Running out of faith and hope and reason
I'm running out of time
Running out of time

Fighting for my sanity
Many nights of tragedy
Got to leave my wretched ways behind

Just another lonely broken hero
Picking up the pieces of my mind
Running out of fate and hope and reason
I'm running out of time
Running out of time
I'm running out of time
Running out of time

[spoken:]
Underneath my masquerade
A simple who's still afraid

Won't you listen 'cos i'm at it again
Lightning striking and on that you can depend
They say that lightning never strikes the same place twice
Gods of thunder sit and watch the event

You know i take no prisoners
My back's to the wall
You know i must be going
When destiny calls
Until i feel that thunder shattering my brain
I won't stop

Rockin' all night rockin' all night
Until the lightning strikes again
Rockin' all night rockin' all night
Until the lightning strikes again

Tell your mama that you're gonna be late
But not to worry we'll just be rockin' all night
The lightning strikes before you hear the thunder roar
We're becoming the children of the night

I'm not apologizing
I am what i am
There is no compromising
I don't give a damn
Until i feel the thunder boiling in my veins
I won't stop

Rockin' all night rockin' all night
Until the lightning strikes again
Rockin' all night rockin' all night
Until the lightning strikes again

Oh no i've lost control
Here we got it's only rock 'n' roll

The silver light is flashing
As all turns to gold
In my head voices screaming
And i'm being told
If you will only listen you will hear them too
I won't stop

Rockin' all night rockin' all night
Until the lightning strikes again
Rockin' all night rockin' all night
Until the lightning strikes again

I'm looking for a miracle man
That tells me no lies
I'm looking for a miracle man
Who's not in disguise

I don't know where he'll come from
And i don't know where he's been
But it's not our jimmy sinner
Because he's so obscene

Miracle man got busted
Miracle man got busted

Today i saw a miracle man
On tv cryin'
Such a hypocritical man
Born again, dying

He don't know where he's goin'
But we know just where he's been
It was our little jimmy sinner
On the screen

Miracle man got busted
Miracle man got busted
Miracle man got busted
Miracle man

A devil with a crucifix
Brimstone and fire
He needs another carnal fix
To take him higher and higher

Now jimmy he got busted
With his pants down
Repent ye wretched sinner
Self righteous clown

Miracle man got busted
Miracle man got busted
Miracle man got busted
Miracle man got busted
Miracle man got busted
Miracle man got busted
Miracle man got busted

Hidden track on some versions of no rest for the wicked

I don't want to be a hero
I don't ever want to let you down
No i don't want to let you down

I can try to take you higher
But i don't want to wear your broken crown
You know it brings me down

Don't think you'll ever understand me
I don't even understand me
Don't have the power to anoint you
And i don't want to disappoint the fools no more
The fools no more

I couldn't answer all your questions
And if you're lost i couldn't find the way
I couldn't find your way

You know you'll have to face the music
You change your tune, you don't know what to play
So don't you run away

Everybody's talkin' crazy
So think i am a ____ maybe
I don't want to hear about it
Don't want to have to scream and shout it

Fools no more
The fools no more

So i don't want to be a hero
Don't want to sit upon your crippled thrown
I've got a life of my own

I am not your destination
Or a road that's gonna lead you home
So baby please don't go

Please don't go
Please don't go
Please don't go...

There is person living in my head
She comes to visit every night in bed
I fight the demon, but it just won't fall
The voices in my dungeon starting to call

The spiders dancing on the wall
Suicide of love we could have had it all
And it is you, you are the ghost behind my eyes
The ghost that tells me lies

The princess of the dark has made my mind home
My haunted head and her won't leave me alone
She dances on my heart with fire in my soul
I hate that feeling when i'm losing control

The spiders dancing on the wall
Suicide of love we could have had it all
And it is you, you are the ghost behind my eyes
The ghost that tells me lies

I wish to god that i could sleep
Again, oh peace again
And wake up from this nightmare
Free again
Free again, oh me again

There is a woman in my head
She comes to visit every night in bed

The spiders dancing on the wall
Suicide of love we could have had it all
And it is you, you are the ghost behind my eyes
You, you are the ghost behind my eyes
You, you are the ghost behind my eyes
Behind my eyes
The ghost behind my eyes

You're coming down badly
You're crippled inside
A rat in your sewer
You've no place to hide
A gut wrenching fever
Addicted to death
You don't give a fuck
If it means your last breath

You try so hard to quit
But you'll never admit
You're the junkie
There's no reasoning why
Cause the mirror don't lie
You're the junkie

You crave for the needle to stick in your vein
Can't for the poison to kill all the pain
You buy your cheap ticket to take a short ride
That beautiful flower is eating your mind

You try so hard to quit
But you'll never admit
You're the junkie
There's no reasoning why
Cause the mirror don't lie
You're the junkie

Your name means nothing
You don't know the score
Body is aching you still crave for more
Sometimes you wish that you'd never been born
Tormenting came with a crown full of thorns

You're chasing the dragon
You're chasing the high
A bird with one wing
Who's still trying to fly
You're all out of spirit
A dead man alive
A born again junkie
You'll never survive

You try so hard to quit
But you'll never admit
You're the junkie
There's no reasoning why
Cause the mirror don't lie
You're the junkie

Junkie
Junkie
Junkie
Junkie

Well i know where you live
I know you live alone
I'll pay a visit in your darkest hour
've got a treat in store
Won't be the same no more
And i will demonstrate my holy power

Chorus:
I see through
What is it inside you
I'll make you
Breakdown, breakdown
Breakdown and cry

Devil's daughter
You don't want a holy war.
Devil's daughter
You don't want a holy war

You know what i'm about
I'll cast the demons out
And i'll persist until the battle's won
I'll feel your creeping flesh
If you're to be possessed
Then i will desecrate what you've become

Chorus
Devil's daughter
You don't want a holy war
Devil's daughter

The time has come at last
Your future days have past
No use in fighting battles you can't win
The final conflict's lost
You can't afford the cost
Don't try to expiate your father's sins

Chorus
Breakdown, breakdown
Breakdown and cry
D...d...d...devil's daughter (i'm watching you watching you)
D...d...d...devil's daughter (i'm watching you watching you)
D...d...d...devil's daughter (i'm watching you watching you)
D...d...d...devil's daughter aaahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Have you read the message, the writing on the wall
Could it be the answer, the answer to it all
What's going down in heaven, i'm playing with your head
Don't believe them when they tell you, you'd be better off dead

Living in the thunder driving me insane
Can i get a witness to take away the pain
Walking on the water going nowhere fast
Feeling like i'm walking with no shoes on broken glass
You know it

You don't have to leave me lights on
I'm so used to being blind
No more goodbyes or yesterdays
So it's i'll see you tomorrow, i'll see you tomorrow

Welcome to the sideshow, i'll cut to the chase
Yeah i can hear you thinking it's going all to waste
I don't mean to offend you when i look you in the eyes
What's all this commotion? it leaves me mystified

Chasing all the rainbows falling from the sky
I know your intentions are all a bunch of lies
I'm running out of patience, falling off track
You better start to worry, 'cause i may not make it back
All right now

You don't have to leave me the lights on
I'm so used to being blind
One good reason to blow me away
So it's, i'll see you tomorrow, i'll see you tomorrow

Can it wait 'til tomorrow?
'cos tomorrow never comes...

Living in the big house, dying by the rail
If i wanted your opinion i'd call you in hell
Could that be the mailman knockin' on the door
Or just another lightweight finally evening the score
You know it

You don't have to leave me the lights on
Now i'm so used to being blind
No more goodbyes or yesterdays
So it's, i'll see you tomorrow
No more good reasons to blow you away
So it's i'll see you tomorrow

Now i'm back on the street again
It never rains unless it pours
Try to get back on my feet again
I hear the raging thunder as it roars

Chorus:
Tonight tonight is it just a rhapsody
Or am i right
Tonight tonight is it all a mystery
I just can't fight no more

I hear the questions surface in my mind
Of my mistakes that i have made
Times and places i have left behind
And am i ever going to make the grade

Chorus

As i beat my head against the wall
Running round in circles in vain
I'm feeling three feet tall
You don't understand i'm fading away

Don't want your pity or your sympathy
It isn't gonna prove a thing to me
Good intentions pave the way to hell
Don't you worry when you hear me sing

Chorus

I'm sick and tired of your excuses
Can't deal with living anymore
I'll give you reasons to continue
While you lie writing on the floor

I'll wash away your lies
And have you hypnotized
There'll be no compromise today
I'll share your life of shame
I think you know my name
I'll introduce myself today

I'm the demon alcohol
Demon alcohol
I'll get you

If you could deal with your reflection
I'm sure you'd see into my eyes
There'll be no need for resurrection
Let's drink to people of the lies

Although that one's too much
You know ten's not enough
There'll be no compromise today
I'll watch you lose control
Consume your very soul
I'll introduce myself today
I'm the demon alcohol
Demon alcohol
Ha ha
Demon alcohol
Demon alcohol, let's party

(demon alcohol)
(i'm the demon alcohol)

I'm sick and tired of resolutions
You've quit me time and time again
Don't speak of suicide solutions
You took my hand, i'm here to stay

This time it's you or me
I'll never set you free
There'll be no compromise today
So satisfy your lust
Too much can't be enough
I'll introduce myself today

I'm the demon alcohol
The demon alcohol
Aha
Demon alcohol
Demon alcohol
Let's party

Tried to be your father
Things just made it harder
Sorry if i made you cry

Years turned you against me
Heart was always aching
And i never thought you'd say goodbye

I could have been wrong
You know
I should have been strong
You know

That'll do .... ha ha ha

The introduction to his heartache began as a child
So it's no wonder that he grew up to be so wild
So he protected his feelings in walls he imagined
But castles crumble exposing the frightened child

Chorus:
Fire in the sky
Can't you see that all my castles are burning
Fire in the sky
Won't you help me now my castles are burning

In solitude he couldn't deal with his own existence
The burning questions in the castles have still remained
God only knows how he searched in vain for the answers
Now castles crumble exposing his naked flames, yeah

Chorus

Chorus

Chorus

Chorus

Chorus

You've seen life through distorted eyes
You know you had to learn
The execution of your mind
You really had to turn
The race is run the book is read
The end begins to show
The truth is out, the lies are old
But you don't want to know

Nobody will ever let you know
When you ask the reasons why
They just tell you that you're on your own
Fill your head all full of lies

The people who have crippled you
You want to see them burn
The gates of life have closed on you
And now there's just no return
You're wishing that the hands of doom
Could take your mind away
And you don't care if you don't see again
The light of day

Nobody will ever let you know
When you ask the reasons why
They just tell you that you're on your own
Fill your head all full of lies

Where can you run to
What more can you do
No more tomorrow
Life is killing you
Dreams turn to nightmares
Heaven turns to hell
Burned out confusion
Nothing more to tell

Everything around you
What's it coming to
God knows as your dog knows
Bog blast all of you
Sabbath bloody sabbath
Nothing more to do
Living just for dying
Dying just for you

What is this that stands before me
Figure in black which points at me
Turn 'round quick and start to run
Find out i'm the chosen one

Oh, no

Big black shape with eyes of fire
Telling people their desire
Satan sitting there, he's smiling
Watches those flame get higher and higher

Oh, god--lease help me
Oh, no--no

Child cries out for its mother
Mother screaming in the fire
Satan points at me again
Opens the door to push me in

Oh, no
Oh, god

Is it the end my friend
Satan's coming 'round the bend
People running 'cause they're scared
You people better go and beware

No, no
Please, god--no

Wine is fine but whiskey's quicker
Suicide is slow with liquor
Take a bottle and drown your sorrows
Then it floods away tomorrows

Evil thoughts and evil doings
Cold, alone you hang in ruins
Thought that you'd escape the reaper
You can't escape the master keeper

'cause you feel like you're living a lie
Such a shame who's to blame and you're wondering why
Then you ask from your cask us there life after birth
What you sow can mean hell on this earth

Now you live inside a bottle
The reaper's traveling at full throttle
It's catching you but you don't see
The reaper is you and the reaper is me

Breaking laws, knocking doors
But there's no one at home
Made your bed, rest your head
But you lie there and moan
Where to hide, suicide is the only way out
Don't you know what it's really about

Repeat 1st verse

All these tears i cry
Don't you wonder why
Is it all a dream
Never what it seems
Gets under my skin
Should i let you in
Don't you think it's bad
To give me something that i never had

Every word i say
Everytime i pray
Look into my eyes
Distant voices cry
Is there light in me
Tell me what you see
You are what i have
Can't get something that i never had
Can't get something that i never had

Should i think about tomorrow ohh
Should i live for just today
Take the light that burns inside you
Let it burn away
Let it burn away
Let it burn away

Will i see the day
Will i have to pay
What's inside of me
You will never see
Won't you let me in
Don't you let me see
Do you think i'm bad
Cause i want something that i never had
Cause i want something that i never had

Give me something that i never had
Give me something that i never had

Goin' home, late last night
Suddenly i got a fright
Yeah i looked throught the window and surprised what i saw
Fairy boots were dancin' with a dwarf, all right now!

Fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me
Yeah i saw it, i saw it, i tell you no lies
Yeah fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me
I saw it, i saw it with my own two eyes, well all right now!

So i went to the doctor, see what he could give me
He said "son, son, you've gone too far.
'cause smokin' and trippin' is all that you do."

Well i know
I could be just another stranger
But to you
I guess i'm just another fool
And you swear
You like to live your life in danger
Then you hide
Behind a wall of silly lies

Nobody thinks the way i do
I guess that nobody cares
Your head's so full of things, so set your mind free of them
I'm breaking the rules

Did you know
That in the truth, there's nothing stranger
I suppose
You think i think i know it all

Chorus:
Nobody hears the things i say
I guess that nobody cares
My head's so full of things i set my mind free of them i'm breaking the rules
Breaking all the rules
Can't you see they're nothing without you
Empty heads full of fools
Now you see
I'm breaking all the rules, breakin' all the rules

Well i know
That you would love to go to heaven
But you know
That you're just too afraid to die
And i know
That you would love to know the answers
But to you
The truth is just another lie

Chorus

Breaking all the rules
Why don't you tell them
Breaking all the rules, a come on, a come on
Breaking all the rules, why don't you get it on,
Breaking all the rules, a come on, a come on
Breaking all the rules, aaaallll right
Breaking all the rules, a come on, a come on...
