Album Lyrics

1. Intro / Wasted Time

You’re out hunting if I’m the prize – so roll the ball
I’m like a mad dog, keep fighting – back against the wall
Against the wall

Come on I’ll show you the world you never seen
Come on I’ll teach you – good fight is when you win!

Wasted time, like a poison in my wine, I call it…
The perfect crime – like a bullet in the back it search you
Time is running out it hurts you
Going down because of wasted time…

I’ll keep on trying
(No one allowed)
I’m out too late, too late!
See losers crying – the sort of things I use to hate…

Come on I’ll show you the world you never seen
Come on I’ll teach you – good fight is when you win!

Wasted time, like a poison in my wine, I call it…
The perfect crime – like a bullet in the back it search you
Time is running out it hurts you
Going down because of wasted, wasted time…
Wasted time… oh…

Wasted time, like a poison in my wine, I call it…
The perfect crime – like a bullet in the back it search you
Time is running out it hurts you
Going down because of wasted time…

2. Ten to Life

Sun’s coming up and news starts spreading around.
Yesterday’s gone, and you man I had to gun down, down, down

Hey mister “know it all”, what the hell you gonna do?
When a jerk like that takes a swing at you
You’ll run for cover, you’ll spit him in the eye
You’ll pull the trigger (don’t tell me lies)

My mother said straight way’s build on pride, yeah
If wishes were horses then beggars would be ride, and ride, ride, ride
Hey mister “know it all”, what the hell you gonna do?
When a jerk like that takes a swing at you
You’ll call it even, you’ll desperately weep
You’ll pull the trigger (and nail that creep)

(Ten to life) and the crime is done
So long – I’m too far gone…
(Ten to life) from a judge so fine
Best man that your money can buy

Took a shot but I’ve failed
Now I’m dying in jail
And it cuts like a knife
I’m getting ten to life…

Just like a dream – they busted me and put me away
Over the hills – and down to the slammer to stay, yeah, yeah

Hey mister “know it all”, what the hell you gonna do?
When a jerk like that takes a swing at you
You’ll turn another cheek, take living in disgrace
You’ll pull the trigger (so get off of my face)

(Ten to life) and the crime is done
So long – and I’m too far gone…
(Ten to life) from a judge so fine
Best man that your money can buy
(Ten to life) and the crime is done
So long – and I’m too far gone…
(Ten to life) from a judge so fine
Best man that your money can buy, oh…
I’m living ten to life…

3. On the Run

I got those wheels for nothing, yeah, some cash to burn
Talk of the town keep moving (no excuses, no return)
Too dumb to steal, too proud to beg – don’t shake my tree
I’ve been around the block, where (money’s tight and nothing’s free)

An angels face and butcher eyes, a quiet prayer, a pack of lies
They call you fate – I call you pain and here I go again

(On the run) my journey’s just begun
(On the run) oh God, what have I done?
(On the run) like a unforgiving son
(On the run) like a night I’m chasing down…

I won’t take any crap and I’m not coming back
(I gonna give you kind of peace of mind, no)
(Shadow’s right behind your back)
I’ve pumped it up, you’ve called me bad news, now I’m gone
No pity, no regrets ‘bout (things I’ve said and things I’ve done)

An angels face and butcher eyes, a quiet prayer, a pack of lies
They call you fate – I call you pain and here I go again

(On the run) my journey’s just begun
(On the run) oh God, what have I done?
(On the run) like a unforgiving son
(On the run) like a night I’m chasing down…

Look all around the place – law’s gone, there’s no respect
Don’t get too close I’ve got my reputation to protect
So check it out the place is dead – no life, no fun
You listen up, and listen good – I’m better off just living…

(On the run) my journey’s just begun
(On the run) oh God, what have I done?
(On the run) like a unforgiving son
(On the run) like a night I’m chasing down…

(Run…) I’m on the run (run…)
(Run! Run! Run!)
I’m on the run…

4. Clown in the Mirror

Our circus closed, and the midnight ghost
Coming out as light’s gone down
Old and tired clown, no one is around
Staring at the mirror

Listen, oh, the show must go on
Lived in the crowd, but dying all alone…

Clown in the mirror – glitter and scars
Here’s pleasure and pain looks as one…
Clown in the mirror – touching the stars
He’s flying his dream to the sun…

What a mask can say?
Cry the night away!
Asking mirror – “tell me how long?”…
Wriggling all those years, through the laugher’n’tears
Don’t believe in hearts of stone…

Listen, oh, the show must go on
Lived in the crowd, but dying all alone… oh

Clown in the mirror – glitter and scars
Here’s pleasure and pain looks as one, yeah…
Clown in the mirror – touching the stars
He’s flying his dream to the sun…

But the sun will rise…
Evil took the prize…
Something will remind you…
Sign of disgrace
This paint on your face…

Oh, the show must go on
Lived in the crowd, but dying all alone…

Clown in the mirror – glitter and scars
Here’s pleasure and pain looks as one, as one…
Clown in the mirror – touching the stars
He’s flying his dream… to the sun…

5. Third Stage

(Instrumental)

6. Bodyguard

Tell me more, all about your class
Wasted days – used to watch your ass
Make your move, ‘cause you’re in – I’ll pass
Let’s clear the air
Hearts of stone and one track mind
Making bread on an easy ride
Cover up for a heavy crime
You call it fair?

You’ll never start learning
Just keep those wheels turning
My heart goes on burning!

(What’s you gonna do when your world goes down?)
Small time player on the big time ground
(Making up a dream it falls apart)
I don’t wanna be your bodyguard

Listen up – here’s something new
Now I’m quit protecting you
Fuck yourself till your black and blue
Get off my side
I don’t care if you’re in or out,
Make believes what it’s all about
Be a part of the faceless crowd
I’ll be alright!

You’ll never start learning
Just keep those wheels turning
My heart goes on burning!

(What’s you gonna do when your world goes down?)
Small time player on the big time ground
(Push it to the limit but the moment’s gone)
Now I’m out
(Money for the blow and you think you’re big?)
Build your muscles but your heart gets weak
(Making up a dream but falls apart)
I don’t wanna be your bodyguard

You’ll never start learning
Just keep those wheels turning
My heart goes on burning!

7. Legion of the Damned

I’m back in town where I was born
Where street’s so cold and heart’s of stone

They told me – kid, you’ll see the sun
I did! Through the barrel of the gun…

Day one I understood the game
So much to lose, so much to gain

I’m not the one to leave behind, oh…
I know I’ll make it through the night…

(Somebody’s gonna die in a desperate fight)
No use to hide away the light
Get paid to go so far – no matter who you are
(Nobody’s gonna run and there’s no one to blame)
We’re under the gun and feel no shame
It’s never gonna end – the legion of the damned…

I’ve listened to preachers, I’ve listened to fools
So many saints, so many rules…

It’s gonna be – cold day in hell
If ever reason’ll break the spell…

They don’t understand…
I know who I am… (oh… oh… oh…)

…

8. Here Today, Gone Tomorrow

(Hey! Oh! Hey! Oh!)

Call it a day, close down the front
What you don’t own, that’s you don’t want
Hitching a ride to the land of “a lot”
Please everyone (feel like a slot)
You gonna choose, from a pack of lies (yeah)
Which one will close somebody’s eyes?

(You gotta jump) over somebody’s head
(You better watch it every step)
It’s kind of tricky without safety net

(Here today, gone tomorrow)
From time to time it changes the state of mind
(Here today, gone tomorrow)
If you could get another life, your tears will dry?
You’ll see it passing by…

Claim to the top, make it all real (make it, make it, make it)
Crash everyone under your wheel
Give it a shot, come on, do it at your best (shake it)
Conscience is clear, just put it to rest

Something is wrong, something won’t flow (no!)
Feel like dressed up and no place to go
Stop bugging me, now when you’ve failed
(You’re talking fair and out on bail)
But every coffin needs a nail…

(Here today, gone tomorrow)
From time to time it changes the state of mind
(Here today, gone tomorrow)
If you could get another life, your tears will dry?
You’ll see it passing by…

(Hey! Oh! Hey! Oh! Hey! Oh! Hey!)

(Here today, gone tomorrow)
From time to time it changes the state of mind
(Here today, gone tomorrow)
If you could get another life, your tears will dry?
You’ll see it passing by…
(Here today, gone tomorrow)
From time to time it changes the state of mind
(Here today, gone tomorrow)
If you could get another life, your tears will dry?
You’ll see it passing by…

(Oh!)
(Oh!)

9. Bad Blood

I used to be kind of an easy guy
I tell you now you’ve sort of crossed the line
I’ve been in town and you’ve called the names
You better run back home and get brand new face

(Bad times lost and good times won)
Things will get ugly, you’ve all alone
(You will never see the dawn)
I don’t care, ‘cause I’m bad to the bone…

(Bad blood breaking your heart)
I’m gonna track you down
You knew it right from the start
(Bad blood breaking your heart)
All we got is just a (bad, bad blood) oh…
(Bad blood breaking your heart)
Because you’re trapped in the middle
Now you’re falling apart
(Bad blood breaking your heart)
All we got is just a (bad, bad blood) bad, bad blood…

You want me down crawling on my knees
You wanna watch me suffer slowly by degrees
Hard hitting stuff, but it won’t make me crack
You wanna fight, you’ll get a bang for the buck

(Bad times lost and good times won)
Things will get ugly, you’ve all alone
(You will never see the dawn)
I don’t care, ‘cause I’m bad to the bone…

10. Epilogue

Sailing away, alone in the ships of time
Wandering ‘bout the past – I’m lost in line
Never ending story of both night and day
Everything I’ve lost along the way…

Over the years all the friends I’ve had
Rushed to settle down before they’re dead
In the darkest hour – screams into the night
Everyone’s who never seen the light, yeah…

Minute by minute, hour by hour’s gone
Left me alone, twisting me ‘round and ‘round and ‘round and ‘round
Every single piece of me will cry for help
Do I have to take that final step? Yeah, oh…

Someone’s lost and someone’s found
Someone’s moving in the ‘round
Someone’s pushing all the way and hits the ground, yeah
Someone’s came and someone’s gone
Someone’s living on the run
Someone’s made it, someone’s not – to see the dawn… yeah!…
(Someone’s lost and someone’s found)
Someone’s moving in the ‘round
(Someone’s pushing all the way)
Yeah, someone’s pushing all the way
(Someone’s came and someone’s gone)
Living on the run
(Someone’s made it, someone’s not) to see the dawn…

Someone’s lost…
Someone’s moving in the ‘round
Someone’s pushing all the way…
Someone’s came and someone’s gone
Oh… to see the dawn…

Someone’s lost and someone’s found
Someone’s moving in the ‘round
Someone’s pushing all the way and hits the ground
Someone’s came and someone’s gone
Someone’s living on the run
Someone’s made it, someone’s not – to see the dawn…
Someone’s lost and someone’s found
Someone’s moving in the ‘round
Someone’s pushing all the way and hits the ground
Someone’s came and someone’s gone
Someone’s living on the run
Someone’s made it, someone’s not – to see the dawn…
