She’s the Fire and the Fallout

Break the Man icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 (track 04 from The Tipping Point LP by Tears for Fears icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 )

This was never what I thought it was
This is not who we are
This is where someone was meant to say, “Enough is enough”
This is nothing like they said it would be
This has all gone too far
When everything is running out, this is love

She’s the fire and the fallout
She reminds you of the things we never talk about
She’s the lover with the best-laid plan to break the man
She’s a sinner in a side show
She feels at home when there’s nowhere left to go
She’s the devil you understand
Break the man

No more tearing the bandages off
No more living a lie
No more chewing the scenery
No more rain, no more rain
No more wondering what happens now
No more holding your feet to the fire
When everything is running down, no more pain

She’s the fire and the fallout
She reminds you of the things we never talk about
She’s the lover with the best-laid plan to break the man
She’s the trouble in the headline
She’s the mother who turns back Father Time
She’s the devil you understand
Break the man

No more wondering what happens now
No more holding your feet to the fire
When everything is running down, this is love

She’s the fire and the fallout
She reminds you of the things we never talk about
She’s the lover with the best-laid plan to break the man
She’s the trouble in the headline
She’s the mother who turns back Father Time
She’s the devil you understand
Break the man

Poisoning Their Brainwashed Minds

War Pigs icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 (track 01 from the Paranoid LP by Black Sabbath icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 )

Generals gathered in their masses just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction: the sorcerer of Death’s construction
In the fields are bodies burning as the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind—poisoning their brainwashed minds
Oh Lord!

Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why shouldn’t they go out to fight?
Leave that role to the poor

Time will tell on their power-mad minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait until their judgment day comes

Now in darkness the world stops turning
With ashes where there were bodies burning
No more War Pigs have the power
The hand of God has struck the hour
Day of judgment, God is calling
On their knees the War Pigs are crawling and begging mercy for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
Oh Lord!

Crash to the Other Shore or Swim to the Ocean Floor

Madonna's "Ray of Light" album cover. [Formatted]

Put your head on my shoulder, things can’t get any worse
The night is getting colder
Sometimes life feels like it’s a curse

I can’t carry these sins on my back
I don’t want to carry any more
I’m going to careen this train off the tracks
I’m going to swim to the ocean floor

Crash to the other shore or swim to the ocean floor

Children killing children
Students rape their teachers
Comets fly across the sky
Churches burn their preachers

We can’t carry these sins on our backs
We don’t want to carry any more
We’re going to careen this train off the tracks
We’re going to swim to the ocean floor

Crash to the other shore or swim to the ocean floor

Let the water wash over you—wash it all over you
Swim to the ocean floor
So that we can begin again
Wash away all our sin
And crash to the other shore

I can’t carry these sins on my back
I don’t want to carry any more
I’m going to careen this train off the tracks
I’m going to swim to the ocean floor

Crash to the other shore or swim to the ocean floor

We can’t carry these sins on our backs
We don’t want to carry any more
We’re going to careen this train off the tracks
We’re going to swim to the ocean floor
Crash to the other shore or swim to the ocean floor

We Are the Hungry Ones On a Lightning Raid

Animal icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 (track 03 from the Hysteria LP by Def Leppard icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 )

Def Leppard's "Hysteria" album cover. [Formatted]

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
