You hate it, you fight
Like a dog in the restless night
Can't sleep, can't scream
Lost in the throes of a dream
You wait, you wait
But you never wake
You grind your teeth
Claw another hole in your sheets
You shake, you quake
Like the ground beneath might slip away
You wait, you wait
But you never wake
Heatwave, Boil Brain
Bloodstain, Acid Rain
Band-Aid, Police Raid
Insane Masquerade
You fidget in your seat
Can't take the rising heat
You shiver, you sweat
But the ride's not over yet
Be bold, be brave
Doesn't make a damn difference, babe
These walls won't cave
For men who never got their way
You wait, you wait
But you never wake
Heatwave, Boil Brain
Bloodstain, Acid Rain
Band-Aid, Police Raid
Insane Masquerade
Man
You're never gonna wake
Man
You're never gonna wake
Never gonna wake no
You wait
You wait
But you never wake
No
You're never gonna wake
Man
You're never gonna wake

LIKE A HURRICANE

He can turn a rock into a diamond, what can I say?
Seems a little uptight to me these days
He was messin' with the matches
Trying to pick which one to make the fire burn
But he couldn't decide
Now in the grave he lies
And there was no lesson learned
He couldn't see one day
These thoughts would fade away
All he could hear was fear
So in one place he stayed
One day a storm was born
And it wouldn't leave his brain
All that was left was endless rain
Like a hurricane
Yeah
Like a Hurricane
Yeah
Like a Hurricane
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
One day he started messin' with the art of origami
Meddled with his craft every single day
He never made a thing he didn't throw away immediately
Still he fumbles along to this very day
Well
He couldn't see one day
These thoughts would fade away
All he could hear was fear
So in one place he stayed
One day a storm was born
And it wouldn't leave his brain
All that was left was endless rain
Like a hurricane
Yeah
Like a Hurricane
Yeah
Like a Hurricane
Yeah
Like a Hurricane
Yeah
Like a Hurricane

She finds a seat, takes a drag on a cigarette, leans back on the wall
She does her best to keep it hidden, not to be so conspicuous and all
He looks around for a ring or a man, sees neither and makes his move
Before he can speak, she puts her number in his hand and says
Baby, you know what to do
Low lights goin’ down
Nobody’s around
She went until the risin’ of the sun
And that was when his lonely heart was won
She wags her tail, slithers like a snail, over to the kitchen the next day
He’s sittin’ high n mighty, lookin’ at his Aphrodite, searchin’ for the words to say
But a pain strikes his chest as he looks to the west
And the words just fade away
The mighty king is stricken by a perilous condition
On a sunny summer day
Low lights goin’ down
Nobody’s around
She went until the risin’ of the sun
And that was when his lonely heart was won
Do it to me, baby, one more time, mama
Do it one more time
Do it to me, baby, one more time, mama
Do it one more time
Fuck me, baby, one more time, mama
Do it one more time
Low lights goin’ down
Nobody’s around
She went until the risin’ of the sun
And that was when his lonely heart was won
