We Are the Hungry Ones On a Lightning Raid

Posted on 2021/11/26 by Chad Philip

Animal (track 03 from the Hysteria LP by Def Leppard )

A wild ride over stony ground
Such a lust for life
The circus comes to town
We are the hungry ones on a lightning raid
Just like a river runs—like a fire needs flame—I burn for you

I’ve got to feel it in my blood
I need your touch
I need your love

And I want
And I need
And I lust
Animal

I cry wolf to feel the mouth to mouth
Like a moving heartbeat in the witching hour
I’m running with the wind
I’m a shadow in the dust
And like the driving rain—like the restless rust—I never sleep

I’ve got to feel it in my blood
I need your touch
I need your love

And I want
And I need
And I lust
Animal

Cry wolf
Cry tough
Gonna hunt you like an animal
Gonna take your love and run

I’ve got to feel it in my blood
I need your touch
I need your love

And I want
And I need
And I lust
Animal

So Sad They Had to Fade

Everyone Wants to Rule the World (track 03 from the Songs from the Big Chair LP by Tears for Fears )

Welcome to your life
There is no turning back
Even while we sleep we will find you
Acting on your best behavior
Turn your back on mother nature
Everybody wants to rule the world

It’s my own desire
It’s my own remorse
Help me to decide
Help me make the most of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world

There is a room where the light won’t find you
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
When they do, I’ll be right behind you

So glad we have almost made it
So sad they had to fade
Everybody wants to rule the world

I can’t stand this indecision married with a lack of vision
Everybody wants to rule the world

Say that you will never need it
One headline, why believe it?
Everybody wants to rule the world

All for freedom and for pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world

Nothing is Worth the Sleep that I’ve Lost

War Nerve (track 02 from The Great Southern Trendkill LP by Pantera )

Truly, fuck the world—for all it’s worth—every inch of planet Earth
Fuck myself—don’t leave me out—but don’t get involved, don’t corner me

Inside ulcer
Unjust bastards
File out face first
Meet the lies and see what you are

It’s forcing you down and it’s grinding against you
Let the war nerve break

For every second the pathetic media pisses on me and judges what I am in one paragraph—look here—fuck you all

Expect the worse—you bleeding heart—but kill me first before it starts
Yes, my cock is getting hard
We are born different after all

Invite mayhem
Produce weapons
Shoot out
Burn down
No CNN or media now

It’s forcing you down and it’s grinding against you
Let the war nerve break

All the money in the world couldn’t buy me one second of trust, or an ounce of faith in anything you’re about
Fuck you all

Nothing is worth the sleep that I’ve lost
Apologies are unacceptable now
A blistered revenge awaits in me
This is loveless

Hate

Hate mail is not read
In jail instead

Hate

The Lord knows there is worse
Ignore this curse

Hate

Won’t You Come In From The Rain?

Absentee (track 05 from the Maps of Non-Existent Places LP by Thank You Scientist )

Waiting for someone to show me, but I won’t hold my breath
Nothing left, no control, only pictures of someone I used to know
I gave it all away and I can’t take it back
Here I am: tornado

Every perfect day yet to come I would sacrifice for one more moment with you
I don’t want to waste another day, won’t you come in from the rain?
Because you could be the most beautiful thing to me

You’re worried now with this hurt in your hand
So strange here, I don’t know the meaning
But who cares to know?
All I can say is you know that it’s true

I said all I could say
Would you do it again?
Would you stand on your own leaving me right there, would you?
That’s my rolling stone
Come on, let’s do it again—you have had enough on your own—because maybe there’s something left to find
I have been searching for something left behind
Would you do it again?
Could you do it again?
Would you do it again?

You and I are taking off

You’re worried now with this hurt in your hand
So strange here, I don’t know the meaning
But who cares to know?
All I can say, you know that it’s you who means all the world to me

I know this is where I belong
Forget the warning signs, I know who you are and I’m fine

Waiting for someone
I know we are wrong
You know we are wrong

You’re worried now with this hurt in your hand
So strange here, I don’t know the meaning
But who cares to know?
Can you hear me calling you home?

You’ve got to know that I’ve been calling you home
