Theatre of Pain

Fireflies and dogfights Runnin' hot in the heat Street noise, another bribe Things too hard to believe- so head out My heart's in the country My feet's in the city with you All my friends are eaten' sushi Talkin' bad about you know who who who My tongue's talkin' riddles But I just can't seem to find a clue So I take a swig of whiskey And jump into the saddle with you you you And I just can't seem to break the shackles of the city boy blues I got the city boy blues I got the city boy blues I got the city boy blues I got the city boy blues And I just can't seem to break the shackles of the city boy blues Cats in the alley Rats in my snakeskin boots All my neighbors think I'm crazy And my girl thinks I'm losin' my cool cool cool And I just can't seem to break the shackles of the city boy blues I got the city boy blues I got the city boy blues I got the city boy blues I got the city boy blues And I just can't seem to break the shackles of the city boy blues Don't look to Jesus to change your seasons It's the American dream Souls of gypsies, road of stone Can't seem to find no peace so head out And I just can't seem to break the shackles of the city boy blues I got the city boy blues I got the city boy blues I got the city boy blues I got the city boy blues And I just can't seem to break the shackles of the city boy blues I got the blues, I got the blues, I got the blues, I got the blues I got the blues, I got the blues, I got the blues, I got the blues

Black jack roulette Losing high and low She's cold as ice Turn a young man old Comedy and tragedy Entertainment or death Like sister morphine Hooked on her game Time to place your bets If it wasn't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all Keep your eye on the money Keep your eye on the dealer's hand Keep your eve on the money Keep your eye on the lady's hand Queen of hearts Or Ace of spades I'm dancing on the blade Freak show, goin' broke The crowd screams on for more Electric shock won't bring ya back You've gone over the boards Can't beat the clock the deck is stacked The crowd looks on in horror If it wasn't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all Keep your eye on the money Keep your eye on the dealer's hand Keep your eve on the money Keep your eye on the lady's hand

You know I'm a dreamer But my heart's of gold I had to run away high So I wouldn't come home low Just when things went right It doesn't mean they were always wrong Just take this song and you'll never feel Left all alone Take me to your heart Feel me in your bones Just one more night And I'm comin' off this Long & winding road I'm on my way Well I'm on my way Home sweet home Tonight tonight I'm on my way I'm on my way Home sweet home You know that I seem To make romantic dreams Up in lights, fallin' off The silver screen My heart's like an open book For the whole world to read Sometimes nothing-keeps me together At the seams I'm on my way Well I'm on my way Home sweet home Tonight tonight I'm on my way Just set me free Home sweet home

Black Angels laughing in the city streets Street toys scream in pain and clench their teeth The moonlight spotlights all the city crime Got no religion, Laugh while they fight Save our souls for the heavens For a life so good it sure feels bad Save our souls for the heavens Save our souls for the promised land Sweet tarts play the game and shoot to thrill Runnin free through the trash, dressed to kill The midnight show-stoppers, it's a funny money game A hundred thousand bleeding hearts, put us in our graves Save our souls for the heavens For a life so good it sure feels bad Save our souls for the heavens Save our souls for the promised land It s been the hard road, edge of an overdose No matter how high you re still too low I've been the dancer, the wicked romancer It's a never-ending nightmare, edge of disaster

Sometimes I feel turned around And upside down And sometimes maybe I drink too much But my heart's still in touch I remember standing tall telling you I'm gonna be a rock n roll star When someone said Sit down, boy "You already are" So Raise your hands to rock (rock) Uh-huh Summertime was always right Just me and you Sixteen and dealing with Those summertime blues I was Young and restless Living on the edge of a dream When someone somewhere said Ya just gotta believe And raise your hands to rock (rock)

Can't break the chains Can't solve the pain Can't rhyme problem with reason Not taking sides Just asking why Does the pain eat the children Who wrote the Bible Who set the laws Are we left to history's flaws And if you're out there Then let me hear (hey) And take a look in the mirror Fight fight for your rights Fight fight for your rights Can't name no names Of who's to blame For cries out in the sky We're all slaves to time No color's right Throw our hate into the fire Martin Luther Brought the truth The color of our blood's the same So break the chains And solve the pains And we all become one race Fight fight for your rights Fight fight for your rights Oh people people Is the scar too deep You can't hold a man's soul By the color of his keys A tear o' blood runs from my eye But somehow I can never Make you...cry...
