They say that the tree of loving
Shine on me again
They say it grows on the bank of the river of suffering
Shine on me again
Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there’s a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Black hole sun, won’t you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun, won’t you come
Won’t you come?
From my laboratory in the castle east
To the master bedroom, where the vampires feast,
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
To get a jolt from my electrodes
Now that I know what I’m without
You can’t just leave me
Breathe into me and make me real, bring me to life
Wake me up, wake me up inside I can’t wake up,
Wake me up inside, save me,
Call my name and save me from the dark, wake me up
Bid my blood to run, I can’t wake up
Before I come undone, save me
Save me from the nothing I’ve become
Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where’s the streetwise Hercules to fight the rising odds?
Isn’t there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and I turn
And I dream of what I need
I need a hero
I remember, when you were down
And you needed a helping hand
I came to feed you
But now that I need you
You won’t give me a second glance
Now I’m calling all citizens from all over the world
This is captain America calling
I bailed you out when you were down on your knees
So will you catch me now I’m falling
He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother…
Brother will kill brother
Spilling blood across the land
Killing for religion
Something I don’t understand
Fools like me, who cross the sea
And come to foreign lands
Ask the sheep for their beliefs
Do you kill on God’s command?
Along this way outside the prison gates
I love the romance of crime and I wonder
Does anybody feel the same way I do
And is evil just something you are
Or something you do
Sister, I’m a
Sister, I’m a
All over this town
Evil woman how you done me wrong,
But now you’re tryin’ to wail a different song,
Ha ha funny how you broke me up,
You made the wine now you drink the cup.
Witchy Woman see how high she flies…
She’s just a devil woman,
With evil on her mind.
Beware the devil woman,
She’s gonna get you from behind.
I hear your mother was the talk of the sticks
Nothin’ that your daddy wouldn’t do for kicks
Never done a thing worth-while
You’re just an evil woman-child.
I wasn’t expecting this
Now everything is destroyed
Underneath us are the nothings
Underneath them is a void
Beyond that void is a place
Where figments from bad dreams are banished
Childhood nightmares all come seeking
And adult logic nearly vanished
Chaos
Welcome to my nightmare Welcome to my breakdown
I hope I didn’t scare you
That’s just the way we are when we come down
We sweat and laugh and scream here
'cause life is just a dream here
You know inside you feel right at home here
Grandma, welcome home
You have been gone for far too long
Is this a dream, are you really back?
Let me help you out of the chair
Grandma…
Let me touch you, let me feel… ahhh
Never hit your Grandma with a shovel
It makes a bad impression on her mind
(On her mind)
In a better way impart
All the love things in your heart
For it’s possible she may retort in kind
(Retort in kind)
And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blind,
And you know that you can trust her,
For she’s touched your perfect body with her mind.
But she was blinded by the light.
Revved up like a deuce,
Another runner in the night.
