I rode the highway to heartache
I took a trip on the ship of fools, woah yeah!
And I paid the price to have my way
Because money makes the rules, yeah!

Sing it!
Lay down!
I'm looking through you
Stay down!
You got what you should
Pay now!
All that you never would
It feels good!

Hell or hallelujah!
No matter what you do
I'm running through you
Yeah!

You said that love's never lasting
We surrender our hearts to lose, yeah
Time's up there's nobody asking
This time I get to choose

Let me hear you!
Lay down!
Don't say you're sorry
Stay down!
I knew that you would
Pay now!
Don't say you're misunderstood
It feels good

Hell or hallelujah!
No matter what you do
I'm running through ya
One more time!
Hell or hallelujah!
Come on, come on
The rest is up to you
It's overdue, yea

Listen!
One heart is breaking
One chance I'm taking
No lies, no faking
Goodbye, feels like it should!
It feels good!

Oh yeah!

Yeah, let me tell you how it feels?
It feels good!

The blood's getting hot
No matter what you've got
You can't stop the roll of the thunder (yeah)
You want to take a shot
So give me all you've got
Can't break the spell that I'm under (no)

And the battle never ends
And the soldiers never die
And you don't back down
And you don't pretend when you look them in the eye

And it all comes down
To the wall of sound
Yeah, and it all comes down

When it all goes wrong
You've got to be strong
The rest of the world's going to shatter
It doesn't matter
Let the floods go raging by
Let the sinners wash away
To the dark of man there's a ray of light
There begins another day

And it all comes down
To the wall of sound (ooh)

Yeah!
Yeah!

And we all bow down
To the wall of sound
Yeah, we all bow down
To the wall of sound
Bow down
Yeah, bow down
Bow down

I used to wonder why
When I was walking by
They talked about me
What could it be
They tried to break me
Never could make me

Out in the streets
Taking all the heat
Dancing in the sheets, oh yeah

All those streaks in my hair
People point at me and stare
If they ask me I'll say, "yeah!"
I'm a freak
And I love the clothes I wear
Where their life goes I don't care
It's my price I'm proud to pay
I'm a freak
The called me crazy
It doesn't faze me
I'm doing fine, they're doing time
They tried to break me
Never could make me
Live like a fire
Dancing with desire
Walking on the wire, oh yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah)

I'm a freak and love what I see
I'm a freak and I love being me (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

I pledge allegiance... to the state of... independence

I got streaks in my hair
People point at me and stare
If they ask me I'll say, yeah!
I'm a freak
And I love the clothes I wear
Where their life goes I don't care
It's my price I'm proud to pay
I'm a freak
I'm the freak and I love what I see
I'm the freak and I love being me
I'm a freak and that's all I can be
I'm a freak, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

In the beginning there was darkness and there was light
At the dawn of creation there was fear in the dead of night
There was thunder, there was flame
The whole wide world is driving me insane
Don't want to run, don't want to hide
I keep the fire buring deep inside
I howl at the moon, I pray to the sun
I've got a one-way ticket to kingdom come

I'm going back to the stone age
I'm going back where I belong
I'm going back to the stone age
Back where I come from

Telling the world I'm going back where I belong
To a place where the sky is clear, the wind is strong
Climb the mountains, cross the seas
Clear in my soul I want to be free
Sit on the throne, let them kiss the ring
Because I'm a stone age man (yeah)

(I'm the king) back to the stone age
Back where I belong
I'm going back to the stone age
Back where I belong

I like it
Yeah

Back to the stone age (I'm going back)[x2]
Back to the stone age (yeah)
Bye-bye, so long

Hey!
I don't want a lover's heartache
I don't need nobody's sympathy
So come on get the party started
All I need is lying next to me

We got our own situation
Ready, and steady, to go
Come out, put out, get out
That's what we're all about

I want to hear you shout mercy (whoo-hoo)
I want to get a little crazy (oh yeah)

Hey!

You got everything I'm after
Flesh and blood just like a fantasy (whoo-hoo)
Alright
So make my heart start beating faster
Never is and what can never be (whoo-hoo)
Mercy
You got to a line to keep waiting
How is it nobody sees
Come out, put out, get out
That's what we're all about

Yeah!

I want to hear you shout mercy (whoo-hoo)
I want to get a little crazy (oh yeah)
We're going to make a little ecstasy, you and me (whoo-hoo)
That's what we're all about
Mercy (mercy)

Yeah!

Come on (whoo-hoo)
Alright, alright (oh yeah)
Mercy (whoo-hoo)
Mercy

Listen!

I don't want a lover's heartache
I don't need nobody's sympathy
I don't want it
And I don't need it
Mercy
Oh yeah!

Gypsy, has eyes that hide the secrets no one sees
Easy, you smile until she brings you to your knees
Stick around until you get the truth
Taste blood when you get your proof (oh yeah)
Find that you've never understood
Give it all, but it's meant for good (oh yeah)
And I know this life makes fools of wise men, thieves, and kings (yeah)
When we lose we live our lives like puppets on a string
Close your eyes and you'll lose your soul
Do your time, but there's no parole from here
No chance when the end is near
Hear the words that you never thought you'd hear (yeah)
Life whispers in your ear

It's a long way down
When ground starts coming
I tried to tell you, but you would not listen
It's a long way when you fall from the top

Yeah!

Build it all on a bed of lies
Standing tall until you realize you're here
Look away, but you can't pretend
Going to pray for a way when the end is near
Life whispers in your ear

It's a long way down
When ground starts coming
I tried to tell you
But you would not listen
It's a long way
Such a long, long way
It's a long way down
When the ground starts coming
I tried to tell you
But you would not listen
It's a long way
Such a long, long way
A long way down[x2]
When you fall from the top

Eat your heart out baby
Oh, won't you get me something sweet
Eat your heart out baby (yeah)
A hot mess is just what I need (uh, yeah)

Yeah, give me a kiss I'll bite your lip
Come on baby let your backbone slip
You've got that something that gets me jumping
I got something want to talk about
I ain't lying there's no denying
There ain't no doubt about that

You got big trouble crawling up your spine (yeah, yeah)
If you want double trouble stop wasting time (yeah, yeah)
Sparks fly, my blood runs high
I want to show you what it's all about
Grease lightning at my feet
And now I feel the heat

You're my pleasure
You're my pain
I'm coming back again
It feels right
It feels good
You give me pleasure like a big girl should

Oh, yeah!
Ooh!

I want to eat your heart out baby
Oh, won't you get me something sweet
Eat your heart out baby (yeah)
A hot mess is just what I need
What I need
Eat your heart out baby
You've got something sweet
Sweet!
Eat your heart out baby
I want to
Eat your heart out baby
Oh yeah

I ran from temptation
I prayed for salvation (yeah)
I screamed at God
Save me from my own damnation (yeah)
My eyes were cold and blinded
I held the page I could not read
Drew up my blood inside him
I woke up in a sweat
And heard the Lord's decree

The Devil is me
I fought myself to be set free
Because the Devil is me (yeah)

I lived in confusion
Choked on my past illusions
I sinned a thousand times
And drank the wine
While screaming out for absolution (yeah)
I stood on mountain broken
I woke up in a sweat
And heard the Lord's decree

Take a look at yourself and tell me what you see
The Devil is me

My eyes were cold and blinded
I held the page I could not read
Drew up my blood inside him
I woke up in a sweat
And heard the Lord's decree

Yeah!

The Devil is me

Ah yeah!
I was born to the human race
Living life feeling out of place
People said I was wasting my time
Looking to find my kind
I saw you and I realized
You got the fire burning in your eyes
Let's get away, leave it all behind
I'm ready to blow your mind

I'll take you out of this world (to the other side)
On a midnight rocket ('til the morning light)
Going up, going down (it's going to be alright)
I'll take you out of this world tonight

You and me we're like TNT
Light the fuse that's inside of me
You get your ticket when you understand
I'm ready to be your man
You got a hunger baby there's no doubt
You got desire - got to get it out
I'll free your body, if you free your soul
If you're ready to rock
I'm ready to roll

I see the glow
Burning down the midnight sky
I feel the flow
I'm going to take you high

Yeah!
I'll take you out of this world
Take you out of this world
On a midnight rocket
I'll take you out of this world tonight


Out to this world
Out to this world tonight
Out to this world
Out to this world tonight
Out to this world
Out to this world tonight

Yeah, yeah
I was just another child going wild in the city
Just getting by on a dream
I was thinking life was going to be so pretty
It was pretty mean
Yeah
I hit the road with no expectations
Just sleeping where I'd been
I didn't care about the fame or the money
Show me a place to play and I'm going to go

Because it's all for the love of rock and roll
In my music, in the air, and I'm losing control
I don't care what you heard, I don't care what you're told
Because it's all for the love of rock and roll

I hitched a ride on a trip going nowhere
Got fifty bucks in a fight
Isn't a lot you know when it's over
You know the feeling, well it feels alright, alright
When you're finished with the band and some honey grabs your hand, yeah
You get to thinking you might
That's when you notice there's a ring on her finger
That's when she tells you that she's single tonight

I've got it made when I hit the stage at quarter to nine (yeah)
Watch them dancing in the haze and the band's really pumping
You feel the rush and that's all it's about
I'm in for life and there's no getting out of the way

Yeah
All I want
All I need

I saw her standing there across the room
A glass of wine and some sweet perfume
Next thing I knew
She was standing right next to me (oh, yeah!)
I told her that I had a submarine
She said, "I know exactly what you mean"
I told that my ship was ready to ride
She touched my heart when she touched my thigh

She said, take me down below
Doesn't matter where we go
Yeah, I understand
Lead me by the hand
Won't you take me down below

I took an elevator late one night
This lady by my side looked like she might
The doors were closing
When I asked her to take a ride with me (come here baby!)
She took my finger, here's a button to press
I raised my flag and she dropped her dress
I'll take you on a cruise you'll never forget
She said, "we better move because I'm already wet"

I took a flight at night from east to west
I asked the hostess for my flying test
She threw the covers and we started to rock
She whispered, "you can take me bottom or top" (yeah)

Come on, come on

Take me down below (come on down below)
It doesn't matter where we go (it doesn't matter where we go)
Yeah, I understand
Lead me by the hand
Won't you take me down below (oh yeah)
Take me down below (yeah, yeah)
Won't you take me down below (you know you wanted it)
Take me down below (oh yeah)
Won't you take me down below

Open the door and let the night come crawling in
Take a bite of the core of the original sin
Yeah, you're ready for more
But you just don't know where to begin (yeah you do)

This is your last chance to get it right
Do your dance on the edge of the knife
It's your last chance so just roll the dice
Because nobody here is getting out alive

You want it, you need it so get on the ride
Yeah, you heard you'll be sorry but you know that they lied
Yeah, there's so much here that you want to see
You'll give it up eventually, yeah, yeah
So come on and open your eyes
You got to live or you die

Hey!
Your last chance

This is your last chance to get it right
Do your dance on the edge of the knife
Do your dance, dance, dance on the edge of the knife
Let's go!

This is your last chance, yeah
This is your last chance, right
This is your last chance
Yeah!

I can see in your eyes
That you're tired of the talk
You're tired of the lies
Every time you let a day pass you by
A part of you dies
Take a chance, win or lose
Don't ever give up on the life that you choose

You've got to hit them like a freight-train coming
You drop the pedal with the motor running

Right here right now
Yesterday's gone, tomorrow's always in doubt
Right here right now
The only time that matters anyhow

You were born, got it all
The rest is all up to you
You stand or you crawl
Got to chase to break
And run with the fall
Get up when you fall
Yeah
There's one thing (there's one thing)
You can bet (you can bet)
I'll take them something
That they'll never forget

Right here, right now
Yesterday's gone, tomorrow's always in doubt
Right here, right now
The only time, the only time
That matters is now

Live out every day
Doing whatever's right for you
Live out every day
Any way that you dare
Is anyone ready to fight for you?
Hell yeah
You're on your own
Hell yeah
But not alone
Hell yeah
Anywhere that you go
