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.
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.
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.
Peace of mind is so hard to find. How I wonder. As we try to reach the sunrise. . Sittin' on the other side of the sky. How I wonder. As we try to reach the sunrise.
This is where it all ends. And the kinda dream that you've never seen. Well, yeah. . Hot damn, ooh, mercy ma'am. What the hell you doing to me?. Ah, strutting round with your head held high.
I see you from across the room. My eyes tied and ever so consumed. Oh girl, you know you've got me. I wish you all the best of luck. To catch a careless thief that broke your heart.
I believe in freedom. Freedom is a vision. Her found religion. I humble myself. Just to get some respect. Get some respect, yeah. . I kiss her sandaled foot.
My face is buried in your hands. And I'm falling to my knees tonight. Wishing to be more than what I am. Just trying to find my place in life. . Am I stuck here waiting on you?.
i have chosen to abandon my post. become a refugee of this fantastic life. . and all are moved moved by feelings of love. become a refugee of this fantastic life.
Have we forgotten. Exactly where we are at this moment in time. You put on a false face, conclusion to this case. It will never be certain. . Let's kill the irony and let this be.
Ah ah ah. Let it be beautiful when I sing the last song. I will give you even my body, spirit walker. Let all the children kiss the sun before they sing their last song.
This Godforsaken little town. Well it's got me on the noose. I guess I'll lose what I will lose. What should I say?. I'm just a boy with lots to see. Wearing his whole heart on his sleeve.
Black California. Crush the innocent mind. Girl, I oughta warn you. My reputation's unkind. But you knew that anyway. . Black California. Black California.
