Subhuman Race

My Enemy (Affuso, Bolan, Hill) Play the fence, one way you're gonna fall Sometimes I don't know who you are at all Your opinion is something that you've got inside But I see the loyalty has up and died Your skeletons My skeletons Life is only getting shorter You can be my enemy and I don't care Keep throwin' stones at yourself Stories run in circles that have no end I hit on luck, then you bum me out again There's a way that you keep the truth in check Scratch the surface and treat it like a broken neck Keep the peace when face to face with the scene Got a hunch that ain't what you really mean Weather's fair, does that change where you stand? My back is turned and the knife is in your hand Your genocide My genocide Life is only getting shorter You can be my enemy and I don't care Keep throwin' stones at yourself You can be my enemy and I don't care You try too hard and I can tell © Skid Row

Firesign (Bach, Bolan, Hill, Snake) Sailing ships go through my mind Past wreckage on the way Glory seekers fall in line Getting closer Summer laugh, some will cry What will summer bring! Some will take her by the reins And ride the suffering (bridge) On a carousel through my yesterdays Doubt sees the obstacles Faith sees the way (repeat 2x) (chorus) All the ways you kill me They've begun to thrill me Nothing there fulfills my firesign Brotherhood betrayal, Sabotage to no avail Nothing there can kill my firesign Beaten, burned, I'll take the fall And get up right in your face Walk all over what I believe But I'm still here, you disappear Without a trace No need to follow, no need to lead No need to beg or borrow I just need to be me (repeat bridge 2x) (repeat chorus 2x) © Skid Row

BONEHEAD Is there a problem? The laugh of the rich man Has got you crying poor Are you as heavy as hell in a handbag Or just a virgin whore? If the weight of the world is on your shoulders Then carry it for a day Do you cry for peace or peace of mind Is reality in the way Enter the martyr out through the in door The savior has arrived? Is all your anger force of habit And keeping you alive? An empty shotgun shooting your mouth off Something’s on your mind The cheap messiah of persecution Alive and doing fine I won’t leave if you stay, I don’t buy what you say If you’re a new God let me see a miracle I won’t leave if you stay, I don’t buy what you say I can’t say that you’re a fool, but if you’re a new God let me see a miracle I won’t leave if you stay, I don’t buy what you say If you’re a new God let me see a miracle I won’t leave if you stay, I don’t buy what you say I can’t say that you’re a fool, but if you’re a new God let me see a miracle If you’re a new God let me see a miracle If you’re a new God let me see a miracle If you’re a new God let me see a miracle

Beat Yourself Blind (Bach, Bolan, Hill, Snake) Give me a minute 'cause I'm wrapped in superstition Pour me a chemical to take away the edge Don't make up anything that's breaking all your fingers Just slap around a bit of what it takes to pledge Carry out another stone as a slave Ask general-know-it-all "Who's juggling the earth?" Tease all the natives that will walk across your grave And shove aside your nation all for what it's worth (chorus) Beat yourself blind (repeat 6x) An open eyes and a closed mind Look at the suit in suspended animation A faded outline that used to be a man A piece of paper that's fallen out a window Has got a better chance to know where it will land (repeat chorus) To bleed in vain, to bleed in vain--under my eyes are painted skies Down at the boneyard, they're diggin' up the relics Handfuls of parasites thrown into machines I got the phone call they're tearin' down the mission The zombies had a ball, but don't know what it means Beat yourself blind © Skid Row

Eileen (Affuso, Bach, Bolan, Snake) There are things we cannot see that hang Within her sight There are people we won't remember that Dance with her at night (chorus) Eileen's calling me To sit awhile and talk to trees Eileen can't you see The songs you sing are scaring me Eileen, Eileen She romances with the moon Full and alone It's really a street light It's something we all know (repeat chorus) © Skid Row

Remains To Be Seen (Bolan, Hill, Snake) Shy a quarters headroom I saw the Half-moon was burning down Play with your reflection 'cause And infection is going around Dive head-on into me, Dive head-on into me Dive head-on into me, Dive head-on into me Meet my neighbor's widow, a black and Bluedoe, she's up a tree Trip, the lightning spastic Captain Fantastic. The nineteen seventies Dive head-on into me, Dive head-on into me Dive head-on into me, Dive head-on into me Bury the news with the views from behind the door Rattle the bones with the drones at the Corner store--see them for myself Commies, kinks and masochists Weirdos, love and homicide Witches, freaks and 45s Kick a painted pony let the spinning wheel ride © Skid Row

Subhuman Race (Bolan, Hill, Snake) Jesus knows my story, he knows the position that I'm in A hooker knows the feeling to get fucked the way I've been Turn my insides out; your mouth drank my water (chorus) You look at me like I'm subhuman You talk to me like I'm subhuman You're treating me like I'm subhuman You're jumping into the subhuman race Brothers hear my story, but don't you take no pity out on me A soldier knows the feeling to get pushed out in a field Taking liberties; burned by your dictation (repeat chorus) © Skid Row

Frozen (Bolan, Snake) As a stare into the fire All my thoughts go up in flames Here I stare into the fire I'll be waiting on the rain The box I keep myself in, closes out my air So I build a fire, so I can sit and stare (chorus) Can it be I'm frozen Can it be I'm frozen Can it be I'm frozen Can it be I'm frozen As I stare into the weather My eyes drying from the cold As I stare into the weather I sense my thoughts growing old (repeat chorus) I listen to the prophets predict the stem of tides I stare into the weather that's keeping me inside (repeat chorus) As I stare into the fire Will the prophets change my mind While I stare into the fire All the colors treat me kind I'll dust away the fallings the winter leaves for me I'll stare into the fire and set tomorrow free (repeat chorus) © Skid Row

Into Another (Bolan, Snake) Slowly I heal the love that's found its way Onto another path in times of change Crossing a bridge unknown Hoping our strength will hold Should they both let go then let me lay ...Let me lay (chorus) Show me a sign To a light that shines One direction into another Sheltered peace of mind Somewhere I lost a piece of memory Somehow I know my legs will carry me Searching for circles end Hoping the wounds will mend Should this scar, then it was meant to be (repeat chorus 3x) © Skid Row

Face Against My Soul (Affuso, Bach, Bolan, Snake) How can I see tomorrow if you keep me in the dark When will I see forever if you damn me from the start There must be a way to get through to your Blackened heart You build a wall inside a wall and there's no door (chorus) Lay your body by the water Press your face against my soul Wading through all your convictions We can come in from the cold Searching greener pastures, finding desert sands Cycles on the treadmill turn up empty hands Do I have to bloodlet just to get another chance Inside of you there's a view that sees me there (repeat chorus) © Skid Row

Medicine Jar (Bolan, Hill, Snake) Caught the mother jack knifin' A little bit low lifin' Goin' twenty paces with the medicine man Runnin' from the girl in pigskin A little gun shy but shootin' Hidin' in the kitchen with his head in his hand Bleed, me--why can't you say what you mean? (chorus) How far has it gone, it didn't take you long To put your hand in the medicine jar In your private hell, now you've found yourself In the hands of the medicine jar Sittin' here with all your bitchin' Cookin' up a new addiction Prayin' that the light of day ain't wakin' the dead Droppin' like a bomb on Hiro Shakin' like San Francisco Only to be diggin' out to do it again Bleed, me--why can't you say what you mean? (repeat chorus) Make it go away, make it go a--way Caught the mother jack knifin' A little bit low lifin' Goin' twenty paces with the medicine man Droppin' like a bomb on Hiro Shakin' like San Francisco Hidin' in the jungle with your head in the sand (repeat chorus 2x) One step from bein' free, what did you think You'd see at the bottom of the medicine jar © Skid Row
