L.A. LYRICS
"Demo 1" (1984 Demo)
1. Gates to the Sky
2. Death or Liberty
3. Winners and Sinners
4. Get me the World
5. The End
1. Gates to the Sky
Sixty-nine
Some years gone by
Since that night
When man broke the chains
That bound us to Earth
We found the way
To the sky
Ancient dreams
Jules Verne should have seen
Them come true
His heroes of then
Were born again
But this time they win
Gates to the sky
We entered them at night
Gates to the sky
One night in ‘69
Counting down
Down to the sound of ignition
Time was standing still
As the countdown hit ten
Last check on frequency
Restless breath
Your nerves on their knees
As they fly
The eyes of the world
Were watching them go
And I saw the show
Gates to the sky
We entered them at night
Gates to the sky
One night in ‘69
2. Death or Liberty
3. Winners and Sinners
Sitting playing poker in a dirty backstreet bar
Sweat is running down your neck and further down your arm
Hiding aces everywhere and cheating when you can
Hating every cheated, beaten poker playing man
Winners and sinners
Winners and sinners
Winners and sinners are sent to Hell
Winners and sinners, I wish you well
It’s five o’clock in the morning
You’ve had a heavy night
Bitter after you’ve lost your game
You’re beating up your wife
The kids are crying
Their mama’s lying on the greasy floor
You see the emptiness in their eyes
Before you slam the door
Winners and sinners
Winners and sinners
Winners and sinners are sent to Hell
Winners and sinners, I wish you well
Winners and sinners
Winners and sinners
Winners and sinners are sent to Hell
Winners and sinners, I wish you well
Why didn’t you listen
To what the old preacher said
For those who win, and thee who sin
Shall remain captured in chains
In the fires of hell
Winners and sinners
Winners and sinners
Winners and sinners are sent to Hell
Winners and sinners, I wish you well
4. Get me the World
5. The End
