I was standing on the mountain back against the world. Left it all behind me, how my life had turned. Seen so much destruction the fear upon your skin.
Is there anyone in this city?. Anyone who isn't asleep?. I'm feeling lost counting steps between street lights.. Still drawing triangles on my wrists..
We hope for so much more. With your shock and awe. But the writing's on the wall. But we don't hide, we're not your kind. See your golden temple fall.
All my friends are drunk. Their innocence a flame. Will I see them again?. I dream of dreams to come. And temples built with love. Im not a slave. . This city lights of fame.
Black hearts and devils in the night. Mean streets raised me up to fight. Im a lover but Ive been known quick to strike. You think you know me, oh, but youre never right.
So you finally found your rhythm, man. Got your funky ass out of the can. Well, a girl is coming to you. Gonna show you what is true. The witch, she need a lover, boy.
Hail the guitar all tuned down. In a power circle obey the crowd. All ride a wave, crash right in. Lovers and fighters, adrenaline. . The singer spits our hearts all rise.
Yeah. Oh, dig this. . Like the heat from a thousand suns that burns on. Rising ever higher. A phoenix from a pyre. My eternal desire. . I'm on fire, I'm on fire.
You love it, you need it. You taste it an' you breathe it. You want it, you feel it. You gotta receive it. You hate it, can't leave it. You shoot it, you cheat it.
Na na na. Na na na. Na na na. Na na na. . All the hip young things trying to make a scene. Living out forbidden dreams. Star spangled banner flutters in the sky.
This isn't what it used to be.. Like folded corners of worn pages trying to hold their place,. Because no one fucking cares anymore,. I'm peeling back finger nails to hold you..
Oh, ask the dust, no harm will come between us. Oh, beautiful, radiant child, eyes azure, vow to me. Your golden heart. Ooh, she moves in silence then whispers to me.
