1. I Don't Know (live)
People look to me and say
Is the end near, when is the final day
What's the future of mankind
How do I know, I got left behind
Everyone goes through changes
Looking to find the truth
Don't look at me for answers
Don't ask me - I don't know
How am I supposed to know
Hidden meanings that will never show
Fools and prophets from the past
Life's a stage and we're all in the cast
Ya gotta believe in someone asking me who is right,
Asking me who to follow, don't ask me, I don't know,
I don't know - I don't know - I don't know
Nobody ever told me I found out for myself
Ya gotta believe in foolish miracles
It's not how you play the game
It's if you win or lose you can choose
Don't confuse win or lose, it's up to you
It's up to you - it's up to you - it's up to you
SOLO
REPEAT
2. Mr. Crowley
Mr.Crowley, what went on in your head
Mr.Crowley, did you talk with the dead
Your life style to me seemed so tragic
With the thrill of it all
You fooled all the people with magic
You waited on Satan's call
Mr.Charming, did you think you were pure
Mr.Alarming, in nocturnal rapport
Uncovering things that were sacred
Manifest on this earth
Conceived in the eye of a secret
And they scattered the afterbirth
Mr.Crowley, won't you ride my white horse
Mr.Crowley, it's symbolic of course
Approaching a time that is classic
I hear the maiden's call
Approaching a time that is drastic
Standing with their backs to the wall
Was it polemically sent
I wanna know what you meant
I wanna know
I wanna know what you meant
3. Crazy Train
All aboard
Crazy, but that's how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe it's not too late
To learn how to love, and forget how to hate
Mental wounds not healing
Life's a bitter shame
I'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train
I'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train
Let's go
I've listened to preachers, I've listened to fools
I've watched all the dropouts who make their own rules
One person conditioned to rule and control
The media sells it and you live the role
Mental wounds still screaming
Driving me insane
I'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train
I'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train
I know that things are going wrong for me
You've gotta listen to my words, yeah
Heirs of a cold war, that's what we've become
Inheriting troubles, I'm mentally numb
Crazy, I just cannot bear
I'm living with something that just isn't fair
Mental wounds not healing
Who and what's to blame
I'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train
I'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train
4. Goodbye To Romance (live)
Yesterday has been and gone
Tomorrow will I find the sun or will it rain
Everybody's having fun
Except me I'm the lonely one
I live in shame
I said goodbye to romance
Goodbye to friends
Goodbye to all the past
I guess that we'll meet, we'll meet in the end
I've been the king I've been the clown
Now broken wings can't hold me down, I'm free again
The jester with the broken crown
It won't be me this time around to love in vain
I said goodbye to romance
Goodbye to friends
Goodbye to all the past
I guess that we'll meet, we'll meet in the end
And I feel the time is right
Although I know that you just might say to me
What ya gonna do
What ya gonna do
Cause I have to take this chance
Goodbye to friends and to romance
And to all of you
And to all of you
I said goodbye to romance
Goodbye to friends
Goodbye to all the past
I guess that we'll meet, we'll meet in the end
And the weather's looking fine
And I think the sun will shine again
And I feel I've cleared my mind
All the past is left behind again
I said goodbye to romance
Goodbye to friends
Goodbye to all the past
I guess that we'll meet, we'll meet in the end
5. Suicide Solution (live)
Wine is fine but whiskey's quicker
Suicide is slow with liquor
Take a bottle drown your sorrows
Then it floods away tomorrows
Evil thoughts and evil doings
Cold, alone you hang in ruins
Thought that you'd escape the Reaper
You can't escape the master keeper
Cause you feel life's unreal and you're living a lie
Such a shame, who's to blame and you're wondering why
Then you ask from your cask is there life after birth
What you saw can mean hell on this earth
Now you live inside a bottle
The Reaper's traveling at full throttle
It's catching you but you don't see
The Reaper's you and the Reaper is me
Wine is fine but whiskey's quicker
Suicide is slow with liquor
Take a bottle drown your sorrows
Then it floods away tomorrows
6. Over The Mountain
Over the mountain take me across the sky
Something in my vision, something deep inside
Where did I wander, where d'ya think I wandered to
I've seen life's magic astral plane I travel through
Chorus:
I heard them tell me that this land of dreams was now
I told them I had ridden shooting stars
And I said I'd show them how
Over and over always tried to get away
Living in a daydream only place I had to stay
Fever of a breakout burning in me miles wide
People around me talking to the walls inside
Chorus
Don't need no astrology it's inside of you and me
You don't need a ticket to fly with me--I'm free
Over and under in between the ups and downs
Mind on a carpet magic ride goes round and round
Over the mountain kissing silver inlaid clouds
Watching my body disappear into the crowd
Don't need no astrology it's inside of you and me
You don't need a ticket to fly with me--I'm free
7. Flying High Again (live)
Got a crazy feeling I don't understand
Gotta get away from here
Feeling like I shoulda kept my feet on the ground
Waiting for the sun to appear
Mamma's gonna worry
I been a bad, bad boy
No use sayin sorry
It's somethin that I enjoy
Cause you can't see what my eyes see
(I can see it, I can see it)
And you can't be inside of me
Flying high again
I can see through mountains watch me disappear
I can even touch the sky
Swallowing colours of the sound I haer
Am I just a crazy guy, you bet
Mamma's gonna worry
I been a bad, bad boy
No use sayin sorry
It's somethin that I enjoy
If you could be inside my head
You'd see that black and white is red
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again, come on and join me
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again, come on and join me
Daddy thinks I'm lazy he don't understand
Never saw inside my head
People think I'm crazy but I'm in demand
Never heard a thing I said
Mamma's gonna worry
I been a bad, bad boy
No use sayin sorry
It's somethin that I enjoy
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again
8. You Can't Kill Rock And Roll
How many times
Can they fill me with lies
And I listen again
Twisting the truth
And they're playin' around with my head, O.K.
The things they will do and the things they will say
But they don't really understand
Tears fill my eyes when I hear all the cries
For the reason today
And they don't really know even what they're talkin' about
And I can't image what empty heads can achieve
Leave me alone, don't want your promises no more
'Cos rock & roll is my religion and my law
Won't ever change, may think it's strange
You can't kill rock & roll, it's here to stay
Lookin' through eyes of time
Mirrors reflecting their stories untrue
Promises, promises
Telling me all of my glories overdue
How many times have I heard it before
And I'll probably hear it again
King of a thousand knights, pawn in a table light
Losing to you
And they don't really know even what they're talkin' about
And I can't image what empty heads can achieve
Leave me alone, don't want your promises no more
'Cos rock & roll is my religion and my law
Won't ever change, may think it's strange
You can't kill rock & roll, it's here to stay
Even the rhymes that they
Give me in times of confession ain't true
Outcome is obvious
All for them, none for us
Meaning you too
The things they will do and the things they will say
When they don't really understand
Fear of rejection, I need their protection
I'm making a stand
'Cos they don't really know even what they're talkin' about
And I can't image what empty heads can achieve
Leave me alone, don't want your promises no more
'Cos rock & roll is my religion and my law
Won't ever change, may think it's strange
You can't kill rock & roll, it's here to stay
Leave me alone, don't want your promises no more
'Cos rock & roll is my religion and my law
Won't ever change, may think it's strange
I'm born to rock & roll, I'm here to stay, yeah
9. Diary Of A Madman
Screaming at the window
Watch me die another day
Hopeless situation
Endless price I had to pay
Sanity now it's beyond me, there's no choice
Diary of a madman
Walk the line again today
Entries of confusion
Dead diary I'm here to stay
Manic depression befriends me, hear his voice
Sanity now it's beyond me, there's no choice
A sickened mind and spirit
The mirror tells me lies
Could I mistake myself for someone
Who lives behind my eyes
Will he escape me soul
Or will he enter me
Is he trying to get out
Or trying to enter me
Voices in the darkness
Scream away my mental health
Can I ask a question
To help me save me from myself
Enemies fill up the pages, are they me
Monday to Sunday in stages, set me free
10. Bark At The Moon (live)
SCREAMS BREAK THE SILENCE
WAKING FROM THE DEAD OF NIGHT
VECENCE IS BOILING
HE'S RETURNED TO KILL THE LIGHT
THEY WHEN HE'S FOUND WHO HE'S LOOKING FOR
LISTEN IN AWE AND YOU'LL HEAR HIM
BARK AT THE MOON
YEARS SPENMT IN TORMENT
BURIED IN A NAMELESS GRAVE
NOW HE HAS RISEN
MIRACLES WOULD HAVE TO SAVE
THOSE THAST THIS BEAST IS LOOKING FOR
LISTEN IN AWE AND YOU'LL HEAR HIM
BARK AT THE MOON
THEY CURSED AND BURIED HIM
ALONG WITH SHAME
AND THOUGHT IS TIMELESS SOUL HAD GONE
IN EMPTY BURNING HELL - UNHOLY ONE
BUT NOW HE'S RETURNED TO PROVE THEM WRONG (OH NO)
HOWLING IN SHADOWS
LIVING IN A LUNAR SPELL
HE FINDS HIS HEAVEN
SPEWING FROM THE MOUTH OF HELL
AND WHEN HE FINDS WHO HE'S LOOKING FOR
LISTEN IN AWE AND YOU'LL HEAR HIM
BARK AT THE MOON.
11. Spiders
SPIDERS IN THE NIGHT
CREEPING ROUND THE WALLS
NOW YOU'LL FEEL HIM CRAWING OVER YOU
CREEPY CRAWLY THINGS
FILLING UP YOUR BED
SOON YOU'LL FEEL HIM CRAWING THROUGH YOUR
BRAIN
YOU THINK HE'S THERE
BEWARE HIS BITE
BUT WHEN YOU LOOK
THE SPIDERS NOT IN SIGHT
SPIDERS REAPPEAR
TAKING PEOPLES NAMES
EVERYTHING IS TAKEN DOWN IN SANE
THERE'S NO WAY OUT
AND THERE'S NO KEY
BUT HERE'S A CLUE
THE SPIDER'S REALLY ME
YOU'RE WRITTEN IN HIS BOOK
THE SPIDERS WON'T FORGET
YOU WON'T FORGET THE SPIDERS IN THE NIGHT
YOU THINK HE'S GONE
YOU THINK HE'S DEAD
THERE'S NO ESCAPE
THE SPIDERS IN YOUR HEAD
12. Rock And Roll Rebel
THEY COULDN'T SEE WHAT I THOUGHT WOULD BE SO
OBVIOUS
THEY HIDE BEHIND THE LAWS THEY MAKE FOR ALL OF
US.
THE MINISTRY OF TRUTH AT DEALS WITH PRETENSE
THE MINISTRY OF PEACE THAT SITS ON DEFENSE
I'M WASHING MY HANDS OF WHAT THEY'RE TRYIN' TO
DO
I'M BREAKING THE RULES AND ITS FOR ME AND FOR YOU.
I'M JUST A ROCK 'N' ROLL REBEL
I'LL TELL YOU NO LIES
THEY THINK I WORKSHIP THE DEVIL
THEY ONLY SEE THROUGH HIS EYES
I'M JUST A ROCK 'N' ROLL REBEL.
THEY LIVE THEIR LIVES IN FEAR AND INSECURITY
AND ALL YOU DO IS PAY FOR THEIR PROSPERITY
THE MINISTRY OF FEAR THAT WON'T LET YOU LIVE
THE MINISTRY OF GRACE THAT DOESN'T FORGIVE
DO WHAT YOU WILL TO TRY AND MAKE ME CONFORM
BUT I'LL MAKE YOU WISH THAT YOU HAD NEVER BEEN
BORN
CAUSE I'M A ROCK 'N' ROLL REBEL
I'LL DO AS I PLEASE
I'M A ROCK 'N' ROLL REBEL
I'M A FREE AS THE BREEZE
I'M A JUST ROCK 'N' ROLL REBEL
THEY'LL TRY PLAYIN WITH YOUR HEART
THEY KNOW IT RULES YOUR HEAD
THEY ONLY FEEL WHAT BIGOTRY FEELS
THEY WON'T FOOL ME AGAIN (OH NO) (SOLO)
GOD ONLY KNOWS WHY THEY COULDN'T SEE THAT
OBVIOUS
IS IT BECAUSE THEY MANIFEST THE INCUBUS
THE MINISTRY OF WAR THAT GOT CAUGHT IN THE DRAUGHT
THE MINISTRY OF JOY THAT STILL HASN'T LAUGHED
WHEN ITS ALL BOILD DOWN AND THE DAYS AT THE END
I'LL GIVE YOU NO BULLSHIT AND I'LL NEVER PRETEND
CAUSE I'M A ROCK 'N' ROLL REBEL
I'LL TELL YOU NO LIES
THEY SAY I WORKSHIP THE DEVIL
WHY DON'T THEY OPEN THEIR EYES...I'M JUST
13. You're No Different
How many times can you put me down
'Till in your heart you realize
If you chose to criticise you choose your enemies
Everything that I say and do
In your eyes is always wrong
Tell me where do I belong in a sick society
Your're no different to me, yeah
Your're no different, no different to me
Look at yourself instead o' looking at me
With accusation in your eyes
Do you want me crucified for my profanity
Concealing your crimes behind a grandeur of lies
Tell me where do I begin
If you think you're without sin be the first to cast the stone
Your're no different to me, yeah
Your're no different, no different to me
Your're no different to me, yeah
Your're no different, no different to me
Can't you see, can't you see
Your're no different to me
Won't you see, won't you see
You're no different to me
Living my life in a way that I choose
You say I should apologize
Is that envy in your eyes reflecting jealousy
Tell me the truth and I'll admit to my guilt
If you'll try and understand
Is that blood that's on your hand from your democrocy
Your're no different to me, yeah
Your're no different, no different to me
Your're no different to me, yeah
Your're no different, no different to me
14. Gets Me Through (live)
I'm not the kind of person you think I am
I'm not the anti-christ or the iron man
I have a vision that I just can't control
I feel I've lost my spirit and sold my soul
Got no control
I try to entertain you the best I can
I wish I'd started walking before I ran
But I still love the feeling I get from you
I hope you'll never stop cause it gets me through yeah
It gets me through yeah
The feelings that I hide behind
Sometimes reality's unkind
The nightmares stalk for me at night
I dread the long and lonely nights
I'm not the kind of person you think I am
I'm not the anti-christ or the iron man
But I still love the feeling I get from you
I hope you'll never stop cause it gets me through yeah
I'm just trying live yeah
I'm just trying live yeah
I'm just trying live yeah
I'm just trying live yeah
15. Dreamer
Gazing through the window at the world outside
Wondering will mother earth survive
Hoping that mankind will stop abusing her sometime
After all there's only just the two of us
And here we are still fighting for our lives
Watching all of history repeat itself
Time after time
I'm just a dreamer
I dream my life away
I'm just a dreamer
Who dreams of better days
I watch the sun go down like everyone of us
I'm hoping that the dawn will bring a sign
A better place for those Who will come after us ...
This time
I'm just a dreamer
I dream my life away oh yeah
I'm just a dreamer
Who dreams of better days
Your higher power may be God or Jesus Christ
It doesn't really matter much to me
Without each others help there ain't no hope for us
I'm living in a dream of fantasy
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
If only we could all just find serenity
It would be nice if we could live as one
When will all this anger, hate and biggotry ...
Be gone?
I'm just a dreamer
I dream my life away
Today
I'm just a dreamer
Who dreams of better days
Okay
I'm just a dreamer
Who's searching for the way
Today
I'm just a dreamer
Dreaming my life away
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
