Picked you up when you were down Moved you right out of town Cleaned and fed you, healed your scars Did I maybe go too far? All an act, you dirty rat Two-faced - that's a fact Back in the gutter, no more to give This ain't how I want to live Tears in my eyes, my head in a vice Oh, I took your advice Tears in my eyes, my head in a vice Oh, you didn't think twice Rot in your vomit, sleep on the ground I was fooled, you lying cow You said you loved me, I asked you how? Not such a bright spark now Shaking, trembling, not sleeping at night Why didn't you treat me right? Cheated, lied - messed with my head I gave you love, I gave you my bed Tears in my eyes, my head in a vice Oh, I took your advice Tears in my eyes, my head in a vice Oh, you skinned me alive Over you now, can't help you no more Back in your hole, you dirty Goodbye to you, have a good time As for me, I'll be just fine Tears in my eyes, my head in a vice Oh, I took your advice Tears in my eyes, my head in a vice Oh, you didn't think twice Tears in my eyes, my head in a vice Oh, you bled me dry Tears in my eyes, my head in a vice Oh, you skinned me alive

The jury's out Eyes are all on me Bargain or plea They cut me down Given the third degree They still don't believe The deal is done, no turning back Heading fast down a one way track Boned and rolled Waiting on a lifeline Boned and rolled Deeper than the last time Boned and rolled Habit of a lifetime Boned and rolled Boned and rolled Never took a warning Boned and rolled Innocent till proven Boned and rolled Fell for the illusion Boned and rolled Boned and rolled Exit the fray I've been set free Pressure released Your tale grows old and time goes by Don't back down when the stakes are high Boned and rolled Heading for the big time Boned and rolled Dancing on a landmine Boned and rolled Everything a reason Boned and rolled Boned and rolled Shelter drawing nearer Boned and rolled Things are looking clearer Boned and rolled Falling into rapture Boned and rolled Boned and rolled All my demons They're the reasons I'm this way Boned and rolled Yes I'm tired Always wired, every day I've been found out but I won't leave Clinging on by the skin of my teeth Boned and rolled Boned and rolled Boned and rolled Boned and rolled Boned and rolled Boned and rolled Boned and rolled Boned and rolled Boned and rolled Running through a red light Boned and rolled Always feeling uptight Boned and rolled Spoiling for a fist fight Boned and rolled Boned and rolled Waiting for the payback Boned and rolled Purpose now I don't lack Boned and rolled A target I can aim at Boned and rolled Boned and rolled Boned and rolled Boned and rolled

Well, that's the chance you take The longer life makes you wait Before you're over the hill Move in for the kill When the sun don't shine You'll be the first in line Ooooh, oooh, oooh, oooh Ooooh, oooh, oooh You chose this life for yourself And now you beg for my help Wipe away the sweat Each bead might help you forget When the stars align You'll be the first in line Ooooh, oooh, oooh, oooh Ooooh, oooh, oooh Can you feel it? Pouring down the drain You don't know where you're going, don't know what you're fighting for Can you feel it? No one else to blame And nowhere left to go There's nowhere left to go All this song and dance Yes, you had your chance Now your future is set Time to lie in your bed When the crown is mine When the crown is mine When the crown is mine You'll be the first You'll be the first in line You'll be the first in line

You say you won't and then you will Your time is up - I can't stand still Now I've got my thinking straight It's a simple tale of fate I cannot lie, I do not know I stayed high - you sunk so low And you know we can't pretend That now's the same as then And the walls are closing in It may be time to start again I cannot lie, I do not know I stayed high - you sunk so low And you know we can't pretend That now's the same as then Always something Coming round again Always something Just a case of when I cannot lie, I do not know (Now's the same as then) I stayed high - you sunk so low (Now's the same as then) And you know we can't pretend (Now's the same as then) That now's the same as then I cannot lie, I do not know (Now's the same as then) I stayed high - you sunk so low (Now's the same as then) And you know we can't pretend (Now's the same as then) That now's the same as then The same as then The same as then The same as then, as then, as then, as then Now's the same as then Now's the same as then

Feel the heat burning down Dig in deep, no hanging around Every morning, a shot in the arm Flames are flying, you come to no harm, no, no The bells are ringing, you can't hear a sound Eyes open, an ear to the ground Friendly fire, hit on the head End of the road, still seeing red In the heat things can get out of hand No-one will win so you take what you can Mother Mercy looks up to the sky Soldiers on, a tear in her eye He watches Ripken hitting for home Standing ovation, he runs alone In the heat things can get out of hand No-one will win so you take what you can What you saying? Stringing me along I can't write no protest song What you doing? Making me mad The last chance was the best that you had Take it to your grave now Lying down, feeling blue Nothing to live for, nothing to do Go out, feeling fine Made a move, way out of line In the heat things can get out of hand No-one will win so you take what you can Take what you can Take what you can Take what you can Take what you can Take what you can Take what you can Take what you can
