  Deaf Forever

Stoneface dog, swirling fog,
Gates open on the dark, dark night
Standing stone, skull and bone
Dead witness to an unseen fight

Beat the drum, beat the drum
Beat forever on the endless march
Stricken dumb, cut and run
Someone's screaming and sky is dark

Chorus:
Sword and shield,
Bone and steel,
Rictus grin
Deaf forever to the battle's din
Deaf forever to the battle's din

March or croak, flame and smoke,
burn forever in eternal pain
Charge and fall, bugel call,
Bones splinter in the driving rain

Horses scream, Viking dream
Drowned heroes in a lake of blood
Armored fist, severed wrist
Broken spears in a sea of mud

Chorus

Deaf forever
Stone deaf forever

Mother earth, mother earth
Enfold you in her cold embrace
Sinking down, killing ground
Worm crawling on your cold white face

Win or lose, nought to choose
All men are equal when their memory fades
No one knows, friends or foes,
If Valhalla lies beyond the grave

Chorus

Deaf forever to the battle's din
Deaf forever to the battle's din

Built For Speed

You know the rules
You all know the game
Try to do what's right
And I swear I can't complain
If I die tonight
But I don't think it's in the stars
For me to go that way
I'll be here for a long, long time, babe
I'm here to stay

Chorus:
I was born to rock 'n' roll
Everything I need
I was born with the hammer down
I was built for speed

Bet your life it ain't no easy money
But you won't hear me bitch
Spent a long time wrecked and funny
I've got the ten year itch

See me runnin' all around the world
Tryin' to make some time
A million miles, a million girls,
A million real good times.

Chorus

That's right!

Don't you listen to a single word
Against Rock and Roll
And the religion the Electric Church []
The only way to go

I don't give a good goddamn
My life's been alright
I'm goin' crazy, out of my mind
Every single time

Chorus

Ridin' With The Driver

Iron child out of Vulcans forge
Metal scream and thrash
Red steel in the driving wheel,
hear the pistons clash
Black dragon breathin' big black smoke
Howlin' up the tracks

Chorus:
I'm riding on the Thunderchief
Spit in the devil's eye
No force on earth can stop me now
I'd like to see 'em try
Hey, hey, ridin' with the driver

Juggernaught comin' down the line
Hear the banshee cry
Engineer like to lose his mind,
Glory in his eye
Too fast to live this way,
Too young to die

Chorus

Hold tight, feel the drivers bite
Hear the whistle moan
Engine rockin' to the left and right
Vibrating in my bones
Once your locomotive steal your soul
You got a Casey Jones

Chorus

I'm ridin' on the Thunderchief
Spit in the devil's eye
No force on earth can stop me now
Kiss your ass goodbye

I'm ridin' on the Thunderchief
Spit in the devil's eye
No force on earth can hurt me now
I'd like to see 'em try

Hey, hey, ridin' with the driver
Hey, hey, ridin' with the driver
Hey, hey, ridin' with the driver
Hey!

Ain't My Crime

I don't believe a word
I know you tell me lies
Just watch me flip the bird
Right in your lying eyes

You just can't figure out
Why I'm the way I am
I'm low-life born and bred
And I don't give a damn

I've had enough
Stepping out of line
Ain't gonna stop me, babe
You ain't worth a dime

You nearly had me fooled
Waistin' all my time
You might've broke my heart
And if you broke my heart
I know it ain't my crime

I'm here to tell you, babe
Was here and now I'm goin'
You need a wages slave
But I sure ain't the one

I'm moving off the lot
Just hire another act
I don't need what you got,
That ain't where I'm at

I've had enough
Stepping out of line
Ain't gonna stop me, babe
You ain't worth a dime

You nearly had me fooled
Waistin' my time
You might've broke my heart
And if you broke my heart
I know it ain't my crime

Just show me to the door
Here I go again
I seen it all before
Happens now and then

No tears in your eyes
Sure ain't none in mine
Two people in disguise
Frozen in time

I've had enough
Stepping out of line
Ain't gonna stop me, babe
You ain't worth a dime

You nearly had me fooled
Waistin' my time
You might've broke my heart
And if you broke my heart
I know it ain't my crime

Doctor Rock

All right, all right
I hope you sons of bitches see the light
You again, you again
I know you got a mental age of ten
Listen up, listen up
I wouldn't swap you for a thousand bucks
Come on, you're the one
I think I'm gonna switch the laser on

Chorus:
I've got the medicine you need
I've got the power, I've got the speed
I'll find out how to stop your clock
We sure ain't talking Doctor Spock
Hear me talking Doctor Rock

Lie down, turn around
Here comes the sister gonna strip you down
Shut up, breathe in
Let's have the address of your next of kin
Chin up, shoulders back
You got a body like a Marshall stack
Keep still, take your pill
Or I'm gonna make you really ill

Chorus

Next please, next please
Try to seperate those cowardly knees
X-ray, you gotta pay
The only chance you've ever got of getting away
Here we are, what's that star
I don't like anything I've seen so far
Pay me, pay me
I ain't no doctor of philosphy

Chorus

Orgasmatron

I am the one, Orgasmatron
The outstreched, grasping hand
My image is of agony
My servants rape the land

Obsequious and arogant,
Clandestine and vain
Two thousand years of misery
Of torture in my name

Hypocrisy made paramount
Paranoia the law
My name is called religion
Sadistic, sacred whore

I twist the truth, I rule the world
My crown is called deceit
I am the emperor of lies
You grovel at my feet

I rob you and I slaughter you
Your downfall is my gain
And still you play the sycophant
And revel in your pain

And all my promises are lies
All my love is hate
I am the politician
And I decide your fate

I march before a martyred world
An army for the fight
I speak of great heroic days
Of victory and might

I hold a banner drenched in blood
I urge you to be brave
I lead you to your destiny
I lead you to your grave

Your bones will build my palaces
Your eyes will stud my crown
For I am Mars
The god of war
And I will cut you down

Claw

Watching you watching me
I was hoping you'd be here tonight
Watching him watching you
He'd better watch out too
Keeps getting in my light

I think he's going overload
Don't know what you're running for
He thinks he's got you where he wants you, babe
Then he don't understand

The power of the claw
The claw
The claw
The claw

You know me, I know you
We both know what we came here for
And he thinks he knows you
He thinks he's got you too
Gonna make him cry for sure

He's going to have to make his own way home
I don't know what he's smiling for
He thinks you're gonna keep your promise , babe
But he don't understand

The power of the claw
The claw
The claw
The claw

Me walking up to you
And whisper in your eager ear
You whisper back to me
And he begins to see
He feels the claw is near

And so the ballet starts again
Exit stage left through the door
And we begin the horizontal dance
And he begins to know

Just what the claw is for
The claw
The claw
The claw

Nothing Up My Sleeve

You're playing tricks, babe, and that's a fact
Your magic circle ain't where it's at
One moment you are here
And then you disappear
This ain't the first time I've caught your act

Chorus:
Nothing up my sleeve, babe
Watch out, watch out
Magic's what you need, babe
Just like that

You know your sleight of hand is messing up my life
Maybe this time, babe, you're gonna get it right
One moment you were there
Now just an empty chair
This ain't the first time you've shot out my lights

Chorus

Saw me in half, babe, that's quite a trick
You make me laugh, babe, you make me sick
I'm gone but now you lack
The spell to bring me back
This ain't the first time I've seen your magic slip

Chorus

Mean Machine

Midnight runaway
Know you're running scared
Bright lights, big city
Nobody seems to care

Open your eyes
Who's there, who's there
Open your eyes
Nightmare

Unclean
Fever dream
On the high side
In the Mean Machine

Black bomber in the night
Can you take the pain
Better call the FBI
Better change your name

Open your eyes
Oh no, oh no
Open your eyes
Creepshow

Unclean
Fever dream
On the wild side
In the Mean Machine

Unclean
Fever dream
Take a ride
Mean Machine

Wet dream
Bad scene
We don't care
Where you been

On the scene
Movie queen
Things ain't always
What they seem

Stay clean
Crazy dream
On the high side
In the Mean Machine
