Evil Woman

I feel like skeleton without any bones
Just like a dog without a home
I woke up with nightmare tattooed in my brain
You got possession of my soul

Cry at the moon
Cry over you

I feel like a vampire who can’t get any blood
Just like a dead pig in the mud
I woke up with zombies dancin’ in my skull
Life like a razor never dull

Cry at the moon
Cry over you

Evil woman comin’ over me
Gotta spell that I can’t break free
Evil woman runnin’ outta time
Can’t break these chains
Evil woman

I feel like a wolfman on a saturday night
I’m out lookin’ for a bite
I woke up with zombies dancin’ in my brain
I’m still feelin’ alright
I wouldn’t piss on you if you were on fire
Your horns are pokin’ on thru
I said that’s live spelled blackwards

Ha ha ha ha …

Heaven & Hell
(Written by Circus Of Power & Jerry Cantrell [additional vocals and guitar])

I want to make myself complete
I want to hold it in my arms
I want this blow to scar your eyes
I want this pain to go away
I want to shake this stinkin’ fear
I wish there was a heaven

Born to live, live to die… yeah…were livin’
Give to try, try to give, like this is heaven & hell

You want to write my name in blood
You want to carve it in my arms
You want to make yourself a dream
You want this world under your thumb
You want to make me shoot and scream
We know there ain’t no heaven

Break down my blues, my fucked up blues
It goes so hard sometimes with all the shit
Goin’ down around you, but you gotta surround your
heart with steel and bust These blues right out the Aiaahgghh…! *

Born to live, live to die… yeah…were livin’
Give to try, try to give, like this is heaven & hell .

*…or the “hymn of Bluebeard & Blackbeard”.

Circles

Autumn came again and blow my mind away
I watched another year go by
Good times gone and all the friends we used to know
A man got close to me and died

Watch your life go round in circles
See it all go and watch it turn around

Winter snow reminds me of when I was young
And all the things we used to do
All the heroes, well, it seems they’ve come & gone
They don’t leave nothin’, not a clue

Watch your life go round in circles
See it all go and watch it turn around

See your life go round in circles
See it all go and watch it turn around

Summer brings me back to where I’d like to be
Lookin’ at the sky and dreamin’
Thinkin’ about the one I’d really love to see
I wonder where she is this evening

Springtime brought the rains to wash away the blues
A black-haired woman and a son
I’ve done some things I said that I would never do
I never meant to hurt no one

Watch your life go round in circles
See it all go and watch it turn around

See your life go round in circles
See it all go and watch it turn around

See your life go round and around …

Poison Girl

Oh yeah
I’m runnin’ round like a rat on crack and
I’m pushin’ metal till I break my back and
When I chase you, you run away
I hear the trash comin’ from you lips now
You move the world with a shake ‘o’ your hips now
Live in plastic dollhouse haze Yeah
Do me a favor baby get out of my way

Poison girl, they’re makin’ fun of you
In this world, look what they’ve done to you
Poison girl, can’t live without you
In this world, I run

I saw your face when I look in the fire
I made this rhyme with a burning desire
Just like the song the angels sing Alright
You came to play with the devils thing
You had your fun

Poison girl, now you can’t run away
In this world, no matter what they say
Poison girl, can’t live without you
In this world, we run Yeah!

The intensity of true animal
Instinctual beast lambastes any king
And his civilization, his wife and her jewels
Leave me drowning in this sea of endless love
Won’t you please rescue me?

Oh yeah
I look at you and I turn to stone, yeah
Medusa leave me all alone
Just like this song the sirens sings …
Yeah …
You came to play with the devils thing
You had your fun

Poison girl, they’re makin’ fun of you
In this world, look what they’ve done to you
Poison girl, can’t live without you
In this world, I run

Poison girl, now you can’t run away
In this world, no matter what they say
Poison girl, can’t live without you
In this world, we run .

Shine
(Additional vocals by Ian Astbury)

Can ya see me?
She said as this guns fired deep inside her
Under the grey skies
Can ya hear me?
Listen to the music comin’ on down around you
In a world gone wild

She is rising
The ground are shaking and the fires are burnin’
Down in the bad streets
He is cryin’
He stood on the hill with tears in his eyes
Under the poisoned skies
“Don’t cry” the mother said she will shine today
And though the wind will blow and show us the way

Shine
Down on me
Shine
Set me free
Shine
Let the rivers run down among these people
Shine!
Yeah

She is sayin’ hush little baby don’t you cry tonight
It’ll be alright
He is rising
Listen to the beast cry out in the middle of all
And then watch it fall
They killed the water and destroyed the air
All done by a people that I said they just don’t care

Shine
Down on me
Shine
Set me free
Shine
Let the rivers run down among these people
Shine!
Yeah

Slicing reptilian rhythms
Warships on the horizon of my dream drunken beach lay
with a witch whore
Who had all of my friends but hadn’t eaten me as of
yet (I haven’t danced cos it ain’t the end)
Look at those guns I told her as she took her clothes
off and said
(Shine … shine …)
Tonight I will leave and spin onto twister like plains
infernal plateau bein’ alone past enzombied creatures
like breathing waxed manicans
Experiencing eternity for the very first time
Rise! Rise! Yeah …
All of the flames are dancin’ strong blood red
candles and my blood red wine
I cannot walk back to my home in defeat I want victory Yeah
I am the advent of no one
This world is run by devils
Wrapped in angels wings
We will rise .

Dreams Tonight

You could be far away somewhere in Paris or in Spain
Under the roman skies or walking thru the English rain

But I can feel you near
Your spirit floats thru here
And keeps my mind form fear

And I got wings and I can fly
The kind of things into your dreams tonight

You could be far away somewhere in New York or L.A.
Under the northern skies or walkin’ down New Orleans way

But I can feel you near
Your spirit floats thru here
And keeps my mind form fear

And I got wings and I can fly
The kind of things into your dreams tonight
Oh yeah …

Into your dreams tonight
Oh yeah …

Mama Tequila

I’m sittin’ up here on sunset
As the workin’ girls go by
I’m just a dollar away from dyin’
If I could sell my tears I’d cry
Yeah!

My loves on a bird of silver
She left here yesterday
The last time that I kissed her
She blew my head away

And then I know I’ll end up dyin’ in her broken dreams
I guess it’s time to call momma tequila Mama tequila

I’m goin’ down to the road house
To see what I can find
I got a buzz on like a king bee
I’m gonna ride into the night

And then I know I’ll end up dyin’ in her broken dreams
I guess it’s time to call momma tequila Mama tequila
Yeah …

I see you’re your skin is shinin’ underneath the desert sun
Feel my body burnin’
Baby could you be the one?
To whisper all your secrets
Tell me all your lies
I see your skin is shinin’
Water fallin’ from your eyes
No, no, no, no, no, no …

And then I know I’ll end up dyin’ in her broken dreams
I guess it’s time to call momma tequila
Mama tequila
Wow-wow!
Oh …
Yeah …
Mama tequila

Oaah … I see your brown skin is shinin’ in the light
Outta …
Wash your dreams away makes me crazy
No, no, no, no, no, no …
Woof …

Black Roses

Well I met her down in a love struck town
I was just about dead from bein’ turned around
Then she took my hand, she made me understand
That I didn’t have to try to show her I’m a man

Oh, everywhere, everywhere black roses
Comin’down, no, comin’ down around me
In the rain

Oh, baby come on …

She wore burnin’ red slept on a golden (?) bed
And she drank my wine and she soothed my achin’ head ,p> Oh, everywhere, everywhere black roses
Comin’down, no, comin’ down around me
In the rain

I was dressed in black
Hung at a road house shack
And when we left that day
We knew we were never comin’ back
I gave you black roses for the very last time
And as we looked out upon the grand highway
The sky began to cry .

Waitin’ For the Wizard

Like the wolf
Like the eagle
I am a symbol of this dyin’ land

I ain’t lonely, I got my brothers
I got my sisters
I got the rising sun

And every nite we come to play
And all the children pray

Waitin’ for the wizard
Yeah, waitin’ for the wizard

Like the lizard
Like the snake
I am crawling, just to stay alive

And every nite we come to play
And everybody prays

Waitin’ for the wizard
Yeah, waitin’ for the wizard

When the wizard comes down
Lord he’s gonna heal you
He’s really gonna steal you child
Really gonna feel you
I’m bathin’ in the waters of sin
I’m drownin’, please, won’t you come on in?
Bathin’ in the waters of sin
I’m drownin’, please, won’t you come on in?
Come on in, the waters fine
Oh, won’t you come on in?
Yeah, yeah, yeah …
I’m drownin’ baby
Ya gotta come on in
Yeah, yeah, yeah …

And every nite we come to play
And everybody prays

Waitin’ for the wizard
Yeah, waitin’ for the wizard .

Outta My Head

Everywhere I look I see a bad situation
There’s trouble in the streets all across this nation

Waitin’ for the godsend
Waitin’ for the one
Waitin’ for the wild girl
Knowin’ that she’ll never come

Don’t wanna be a part of a dead generation
Don’t wanna be a member of an uptight nation

Feelin’ like a dead man
Lookin’ for some fun
Try to find an answer
Know she is the only one

Lie of the man in the blackroom (?)
Spinnin’ around I’m goin’ to
Just take it anyway

I’m gonna out, I’m goin’ out of my head
I’m gonna out, I’m goin’ out of my head

Don’t wanna be a part of a dead generation
Don’t wanna be a member of an uptight nation

Waitin’ for the godsend
Waitin’ for the one
Waitin’ for the wild girl
Knowin’ that she’ll never come

Lie of the man in the blackroom (?)
Spinnin’ around I’m goin’ to
Just take it anyway

I’m gonna out, I’m goin’ out of my head
I’m gonna out, I’m goin’ out of my head .

Slip Away

Down inside the darkness
You don’t know it feels
A warm hand on your shoulder
The cold under your heels they run

Moon lights up the highway
That wanders thru my head
Some friends I’ve come to know
Have disappeared or they’re gone

Slip away
Slip away
Where did you go, I just don’t know
Slip away
Slip away
I need you here, don’t disappear
All these things we love don’t let them slip away

The mysteries of living
The wonder of a child
The shadows of the evening
The ghosts of days gone by they run

Slip away
Slip away
Where did you go, I just don’t know
Slip away
Slip away
I need you here, don’t disappear
All these things we love don’t let them slip away

And I’d love to see you just one time before I have to go
And I’d love to hold you but it seems it is my time to go
And all these things we have, don’t let them slip away

Down inside the darkness
You don’t know it feels
A warm hand on my shoulder
The cold under my heels they run .
