ROOMS FULL OF CRAZY PEOPLE
PARTYING EVERY DAY
INSANELY LOOKING LIKE EACH OTHER
FITTING IN SO THEY CAN PLAY
THE HEDONISTIC GAMES
THEY’RE ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT
TRYING TO PASS THEM OFF AS NORMAL
YOU NEVER HAVE A DOUBT
YOU’RE ALL FIRED UP AND HOT FOR THE NIGHT
YOU’RE EYES ARE BLINDED BY THE SIGHT
YOU’RE ALL FIRED UP
YOU NEED TO HAVE THIS SELF RELEASE
ARMS IN THE AIR YOU SHOUT “BELIEVE”
YOU’RE ALL FIRED UP
TAKE SOME FUNNY PILLS
TO HELP YOU THROUGH THE DAY
AND IN THE NIGHT TIME TOO
IT’S JUST THE SAME OLD WAY
YOU CAN’T GO ON LIKE THIS
YOUR BODY CAN’T TAKE MUCH MORE
YOUR HEAD’S ABOUT TO BURST
YOU’RE HEADING FOR THE FLOOR
YOU’RE ALL FIRED UP AND HOT INSIDE
YOU’RE EYES STILL. BLINDED BY THE SIGHT
YOU’RE ALL FIRED UP
YOU NEED TO HAVE THIS SELF RELEASE
ARMS IN THE AIR YOU SHOUT “BELIEVE”
YOU’RE ALL FIRED UP INSIDE SIGNED UP FOR THE RIDE
GOT NOWHERE BETTER TO GO WITH NO ONE YOU KNOW
ALL FIRED UP
HOW LONG CAN YOU EXPECT
TO DO THIS EVERY DAY
YOU’VE ONLY GOT ONE LIFE
YOU’RE THROWING YOURS AWAY
LOOK IN THE MIRROR TELL ME
WHAT DO YOU REALLY SEE
THE COST OF WHAT YOU’VE DONE
NOTHING IS FOR FREE
YOU’RE ALL FIRED UP AND HOT FOR THE NIGHT
YOU’RE EYES STILL. BLINDED BY THE SIGHT
YOU’RE ALL FIRED UP
YOU NEED TO HAVE THIS SELF RELEASE
ARMS IN THE AIR YOU SHOUT “BELIEVE”
YOU’RE ALL FIRED UP INSIDE SIGNED UP FOR THE RIDE
LIFE’S JUST ANOTHER THRILL TAKE ONE MORE PILL
YOUR HEAD IT STARTS TO SPIN DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’VE DONE
THE LIGHTS HAVE ALL WENT OFF
(YOU’VE HAD ENOUGH) X3
YOU’RE ALL FIRED UP

Broken
It’s come to this the end of your days
Your life’s journey at an end
No tears or fear you’re strong in your faith
No emotion No regrets
You worked SO hard for many years
Holding on to your beliefs
Now you’re passing you don’t seem to care
You’re not the one who’s left to grieve
You feel like you’re broken
The only way is down
Your time is nearly over
You’re friends have gathered ‘round
Cast your mind back NOT TOO long ago
You were always on the case
It didn’t bother you who went before
Someone still gains for someone’s loss
You feel like you’re broken
The only way is down
Your time is nearly over
Your friends have gathered ‘round
Your body’s all twisted
Contorted by the sense of pain
You’re haunted by your bad luck
You’ve nothing left to gain
YOUR MIND STARTS PLAYING TRICKS ON YOU
THE DRUGS ARE KICKING IN
YOU FEEL EUPHORIC - YOU START TO GRIN
IF THIS IS THE END YOU’RE GONNA WIN
You feel like you’re broken
The only way is down
Your time is nearly over
Your friends have gathered ‘round
Your body is all twisted
Just like your mind has always been
You speak but no words are heard
IT’S TIME FOR YOU TO DREAM

Midnight

IT’S MIDNIGHT THE STREET LAMPS ARE OFF
SOMETHING STRANGE IS GOING DOWN - DOWNTOWN
THERE’S MOVEMENT FROM THE DEALER IN THE ALLEY
I LOOK TO THE RIGHT
THERE’S A DUDE WITH A KNIFE - COMING MY WAY
NO TIME TO RUN - OR FIND A PLACE TO HIDE
AT MIDNIGHT
AT MIDNIGHT THE STREETS ARE EMPTY
‘CEPT FOR THE DOGS N’ DOWN-AND-OUTS
THERE’S NO SOUND FROM THE BODY IN THE ALLEY
IN FULL FLIGHT
I LOOK AT MY OPTIONS - BUT THERE AIN’T NONE
HE’S GOT A KNIFE AND I AIN’T GOT A GUN
IT’S MIDNIGHT
THINK I’LL STOP RIGHT HERE
SHOW HIM NO FEAR - AND WAIT
STAND MY GROUND
AND MAYBE HE WILL HESITATE
‘COS IT’S MIDNIGHT
WHEN MIDNIGHT COMES - YOU BETTER BE CAREFUL
THERE’S DEALERS, PIMPS, HOOKERS AND JOHNS
MUGGERS AND FENCES AND POLICE IN THEIR CARS ON EVERY CORNER
DON’T LET THEM FOOL YOU - THEY’RE OUT ON THE TAKE TOO
I WARN YA
JUST KEEP AWAY - GET INSIDE
BEFORE MIDNIGHT
I’LL BE STANDING HERE
SELLING MY GEAR AND WATCHIN’
READY TO RUN
AT THE SIGHT OF A GUN - OR A KNIFE
BIDIN’ MY TIME
TAKIN’ A LINE AND WAITIN’
MAKING A MARK
FADE INTO THE DARK - AND GET AWAY
AT MIDINGHT

Up On The Ridge

LOOKING DOWN AT ALL THE PEOPLE
GOING ABOUT THEIR DAILY LIVES
SCURRYING ABOUT LIKE INSECTS
WATCHING THEM OUR ONLY VICE
UP ON THE RIDGE
WE WORRY ABOUT THE SPEED
THEY’RE DESTROYING WHAT WE MADE
DOWN THERE IN THEIR HOME
THEY THINK THEY ARE ALONE
SOON THE TABLES WILL TURN
THEY DON’T KNOW THAT WE LISTEN
TO EVERY WORD THEY HAVE TO SAY
CHEATING, STEALING FROM OUR PLANET
KILLING IT MORE, DAY BY DAY
UP ON THE RIDGE
SAFE FROM THE HATE,
FEAR AND VIOLENCE OF THEIR WAYS
WE’VE BEEN HERE SINCE LONG BEFORE THEIR TIME
WE’LL BE HERE AFTER THEIR DAYS
UP ON THE RIDGE
UP ON THE RIDGE
OUR HAVEN FROM THE STORM
NO-ONE’S EVER SEEN OUR FACE
ANCIENT FOLKLORE WE SPREAD TO KEEP US SAFE
WE CANNOT LEAVE, WE’RE HERE TO STAY
UP ON THE RIDGE WE ARE WATCHING -
LOOKING DOWN ON THEM BELOW
THEY’RE LIVING OUT THEIR FINAL HOURS
THE PROBLEM IS THEY’LL NEVER KNOW
WE SIT UP HERE, PATIENTLY WAITING
FOR OUR HOUR TO ARRIVE
ALWAYS READY TO TAKE OUR PLACE
WE’LL BE WHAT’S LEFT WE WILL SURVIVE
