The Grinding Wheel

Somewhere out where no one knows Runs a cool evolution fight Way out there where no one goes And it's got to keep moving Got to keep getting it right Sphere's to the piston charged Ombustable delight The single minded supercharged That' got to get moving Got to keep getting it right A call to arms, A call right through the dream, A call to action Blow up the in between Feed, feed your engine Feed, feed your Wolverine Feed, feed the tension Mean green killing machine C'mon, c'mon and say what my name is Mean green killing machine The clock, your only friend As time leaves it's debris Your soul is on the mend But time is killing me I gave you everything But a machine I'll always be They got nothing more to add to the conversation They drink gasoline from a dirty glass They got nothing but a sad–sad situation With nothing more to ad to the damnation Nuts & bolts & screws with no social class They got nothing but a sad–sad situation It's a sad, sad, sad situation Nuts & bolts & screws, balls of brass If you're out where no one goes Where no one cares to lie Keep 'em open don't you blink I'm talking 'bout, talking 'bout your eyes It's faster than the speed of light And sonically disguised There comes the mean green motherfucker blazing 'cross the sky A call to arms, A call right through the dream, A call to action Blow up the in between Feed, feed your engine Feed, feed your Wolverine Feed, feed the tension Mean green killing machine Killing machine Killing machine Mean green killing machine

I felt a little better when the sun went down I felt a little taller when I got up off the ground Think I hurt my back when reaching for the top This goddamn trouble Ain’t never gonna stop I waited all day ‘till they finally called my name Right to the front of the line, and I brought my A-game I was eye to eye with a two-wheeled cop This goddamn trouble Ain’t never gonna stop, never gonna stop You see it didn’t look good for your hero at large He was stuck in them mud, stuck in the charge Then they sent him away up the mountain top Never gonna stop Pushing the envelope, pull out the rug Pushing the button, pulling the plug Too, too much trouble, there goes the rug I like my trouble tight, who’s to say I’m right Too much, goddamn trouble All day all night long, who’s to say I’m wrong Too much, goddamn trouble Made my escape it was child’s play I was back in the race, I was winning the day Yeah spitting gravel as I passed the cop Goddamn trouble, just might stop But I needed a plan and I needed it fast I was winning the race but losing my ass A siren blast and my heart did drop Goddamn trouble, ain’t never gonna stop Never gonna stop I grabbed a tape from the floor of the car Jammed it in the dash and it played Highway Star With a foot of lead and that Chevy hop Never gonna stop You can’t give it away, selling trouble by the light of day And I won’t give it a thought, what you’ve sold and what I’ve bought We all went down to the river, we all down to the race We all went down where dead men float, down the river on their face We all got into some trouble, with a hair not out of place We all went down to the lazy old river, I tell ya gone without a trace Goddamn Trouble, it ain’t never gonna stop

Someone left the cat out in the rain Some one left us waiting here to deal with all the pain Someone else was caught upon the wire Someone else's life changed when he left the fire We got no patience but we get through We got no patience but we got you All of the complainers shout no fair All the hurricanes with their fists up in the air Someone gave the order, kill the pain Someone else ignored her, left the cat out in the rain One more fire, 'fore I die, one more fire get me high Come on down to the fire Come on down to the flame Leave you problems behind ya Shine on doomsday, c'mon on down The circle closed in tight around the ring When eagle takes to flight, the scorpion to sting Someone panicked, someone threw the switch We all covered up, took shelter in the ditch We got no patience but we get through We got no patience but we got you All of the complainers weren't there All the hurricaners, took the flight by sea and air They all panicked, melted in the rain Someone left the cat out Put a bullet in her brain One more fire, 'fore I die, one more fire get me high I'm losing myself in the rain, I'm losing myself in the pouring pain I'm going in, I'm not coming out It's where I've been, I'm not coming out I'm losing myself in the rain I'm losing myself in the pouring pain

Let's all go to gay Paris and lay a rose at the Bataclan We'll sing "Killed by Death" as we stand arm in arm Then we'll head to Istanbul on the Orient Express Wear your biker leather, you're not overdressed Let's all go, take everyone we know Jam them all inside the black Mercedes Let's all ride, 'till everyone is fried Let's have a ball, let's all go to Hades The sleeper cars are quite affordable, clean They're on the hot side, if you know what I mean Our staff is trained, to be the finest and well Last stop, all get off.. . see you in hell All you motherfuckers check your guns at the door Let's all go to hades, on a tricked out bullet train Let's all go to hades, just the same Let's all go to paradise on a supersonic jet Let's all go to paradise, not yet.

I like the feeling of the morning sun I like the rain on my face in the fall I come heavy not to be outdone Come on heavy or don't come at all I like the scent of a woman's hair And the way on her shoulder it falls I come heavy because life ain't fair I come heavy or I don't come at all Get you ticket, don't be late To the great psychotic ball Don't you stick it, get it straight Or don't you come at all I like the beauty of a fresh red rose And a sip of the fine alcohol I come heavy from my head to toes I come heavy like a wrecking ball All God's angels, give your pain All my madness, know my name We made our choices then a steady pulse or fast You took the higher road, I took the psychopath The age old question persecutes the good in me And my relief comes in what will be, will be Give me all your money. 'till my cup overflow My mouth is full of honey, my shirt soaked in Bordeaux

I'm part of the plan, a real live wire I'm part of the plan and part electrics corps Born to die, not to lose There's a light in the eye, it reflects fire It has the right to apply to what's needed, hearts to soar Don't mean to imply the light is higher Nor mean to imply we can be answered for Another down, another death on you Others that ignore you hate, doing what they do Another clown leads the band of fools Another broken heart, bleeds red, white and blue I'm part of the plan, a real live wire I'm part of the plan and part electric sun Born to die, not to lose I'm lost in the gone and taking fire I'm waiting for dawn these colors just won't run In honor's embrace no harder nor undone And who'll be the first man to stand in the dark of the night And who is the last of the last men to make it all right, damn right A complicated problem and the question is the answer You can give me liberty or I can give you death Damn right And if this man falls who will carry this flag to the flight And if this man falls who will carry him out of his night, damn right It's a simple answer to a brotherhood in blood You can give us liberty or we can give you death Damn right, you can give us liberty or we can give you death

I got a real bad feeling about where you're coming from I got a real good sense of evil and it tell me you're the one And I'd love to sit to have a drink to feel And I'd love to quit the war and think, but I must grease the wheel I don't meet what's called you kind everyday I have spun across the universe, on the funeral highway And I love to sit, to lick my wounds and heal Or soar around the blue moon, but I must fix the wheel I am the wheel, a turbine that is spinning in the night, and I'm all right Of stone and steel, yes a reflection what you think about me Yes but can you live without me, yes I feel, I am the wheel Turn like a spinning top, burn and you never stop, I got the fever and feel for the wheel Here comes Mr. Wonderful, with his new magnetic deal There goes Mr. Kiss My Ass with everything he steals Turn like a spinning top, burn and you never stop, I got a feel for the wheel I'd love to sit to have a drink to feel And I'd love to quit this war and think, but I must grease the wheel And I love to sit, to lick my wounds and heal Or soar around the blue moon, but I must fix the wheel

A bed of nails, cold dark deep refrigeration I hear it calling me A broken rail as he drools over the congregation I hear it calling me Now I won't tell you how to live your life I never saw the point in thinking twice I turn the wheel by day, by night Raise your flag Here's to the liberation Day by day I move in time Turn the wheel, pay for my crimes The miller's horse is wearing down He bangs his heart on Halloween ground The Miller hears a single sound The sound of the grinding wheel goes round and round The ship has sailed to dark sea destinations the gods are hailed for their absentee observations I feel it holding me Now I can't tell you where integrity hides It showed it's face, you struck it down and it died I turn my wheel with a seamless pride Raise your flag Here's to the revolution The pain is all you ever feel A concrete will, and a back of steel I give my soul unto the wheel Get it done Eye off of the needle, in the heart of the sun Stuck in the middle, Whit the blazing one This weathered hand, has a grip of steel These eyes have seen it all; catch your spirit on the grinding wheel Say you prayers, say what you feel Count your blessings, make a deal What you borrow, what you steal Crush it all, on the grinding wheel
