Alive in Hell lyrics

The waves are poundin' on the sand tonight
I want to take your hand and make it feel so right
I know I'm ready and I'll never be like this again
And the sky is trembling and the moon is pale
We're on the edge of forever and we're never gonna fail
I know you're ready and we're runnin' on the back of the wind

And my body is burnin' like a naked wire

They say you never come home
Boy you been driving too fast
When you gonna shape up
How long is this gonna last
You may be laughin' today
But listen to some good advice
Take a look at tomorrow in a workin' man's weary eyes
You gotta pick a career
Go for the gold
Smile for the camera
Do what you're told
Well you can take away the ladder cuz I ain't gonna climb it

The sirens are screaming and the fires are howling,
way down in the valley tonight.
There's a man in the shadows with a gun in his eye,
and a blade shining oh so bright.
There's evil in the air and there's thunder in sky,
and A killer's on the bloodshot streets.
Oh and down in the tunnel where the deadly are rising,
Oh I swear I saw a young boy down in the gutter,

Baby we can talk all night
But that ain't getting us nowhere
I told you everything I possibly can
There's nothing left inside of here

And maybe you can cry all night
But that'll never change the way that I feel
The snow is really piling up outside
I wish you wouldn't make me leave here

I poured it on and I poured it out
I tried to show you just how much I care

Talking, talking - wealth, talking - money, talking - power
Talking - horses, talking - fun, talking - self, talking - power
Talking - diamonds, talking - ego,
talking - man, talking - wealth
And talking - power (repeats)
Money is power, power is fame
Talking about rock 'n' roll mercenaries
Soldiers of fortune by some other name
I'm talking about rock 'n' roll mercenaries

I'll go blind before I stop
And I'll go blind before I stop,
They're gonna have to come in and lock me up
And I'll go blind before I stop,
'cause this boy mama just wanna rock
There's a two ton fireball burnin' through the headphones
Cuttin' up my heart, makin' ashes of my soul
A lightning bolt petition, tonight I'm gonna sign
Trouble out my window and I'm gonna find it

Somewhere a red-eyed waitress glances
At another movie magazine
Down on the corner there's a grocery boy
Stuffin' boxes fulla hungry dreams
Someone is cleanin' up the offices
One window burnin' in the dark
Somebody's cryin' is there any way in hell
To light a comet from a single spark
Workin' so hard I can't remember much
About the freedom I been workin' for

On a hot summer night.
Would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?
Will he offer me his mouth?
Yes
Will he offer me his teeth?
Yes
Wlll he offer me his jaws?
Yes
Will he offer me his hunger?
Yes
Again. Will he offer me his hunger?
Yes
And will he starve without me?
Yes
And does he love me?
Yes
Yes
On a hot summer night.

Once a beautiful Miss America,
married Mr. Right.
Had a little baby girl,
born on a stormy night.

But that was once upon a time,
now it's a brand new world.
Gimmee the future, gimmee the future,
gimmee the future with a modern girl.

Somewhere just between the past
and somethin' dawnin' new.
There's a break in the chain,
there's a skip in the clock,
girl that's where I'm gonna find you.

Hey Ricky, now mine is empty
How about one for you
We could set it out together
Seems tomorrow's overdue
Captain Video, done went home
One pilot laid to rest
And dragon ladies talk that talk
About who loves who - who loves best

Silver bullets in the jukebox
Spin another round
Everybody at the back of the line
It's midnight at the lost and found
Midnight at the lost and found
