Reluctantly crouched at the starting line,
Engines pumping and thumping in time.
The green light flashes, the flags go up.
Churning and burning, they yearn for the cup.
They deftly maneuver and muscle for rank,
Fuel burning fast on an empty tank.
Reckless and wild, they pour through the turns.
Their prowess is potent and secretly stearn.
As they speed through the finish, the flags go down.
The fans get up and they get out of town.
The arena is empty except for one man,
Still driving and striving as fast as he can.
The sun has gone down and the moon has come up,
And long ago somebody left with the cup.
But he's driving and striving and hugging the turns.
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns.
He's going the distance.
He's going for speed.
She's all alone
In her time of need.
Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course,
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse,
He's going the distance.
No trophy, no flowers, no flashbulbs, no wine,
He's haunted by something he cannot define.
Bowel-shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse,
Assail him, impale him with monster-truck force.
In his mind, he's still driving, still making the grade.
She's hoping in time that her memories will fade.
Cause he's racing and pacing and plotting the course,
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse.
The sun has gone down and the moon has come up,
And long ago somebody left with the cup.
But he's striving and driving and hugging the turns.
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns.
Cause he's going the distance.
He's going for speed.
She's all alone
In her time of need.
Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course,
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse.
He's racing and pacing and plotting the course,
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse.
He's going the distance.
He's going for speed.
He's going the distance.
Twelve men broke loose in '73
From Milhaven maximum security
12 pictures lined up across the front page
Seems the mounties had a summertime war to wage
Well the chief told the people they had nothing to fear
‘Cause the last thing they’d want to do is hang around here
Mostly came from towns with long French names
But one of the dozen was a home town shame.
Same pattern on the table same clock on the wall
Been one seat empty 18 years and all
Freezing slow time away from the world
He’s 38 years old never kissed a girl
He’s 38 years old never kissed a girl
We're sitting at the table heard the telephone ring
Father said he’d tell him if he saw anything
Heard the tap on the window in the middle night
Held back the curtains for my older brother mike
See my sister got raped. some man got killed
Local boy went to prison, Man’s buried on the hill
Folks went back to normal when they close the case
They still stare at their shoes when they pass our place
My mother cried “the horror has finally ceased”
He whispered “yeah for the time being at least”
And over his shoulder from a squad car megaphone
Said “lets go Michael son we’re taking you home”
Same pattern on the table same clock on the wall
Been one seat empty 18 years and all
Freezing slow time away from the world
He’s 38 years old never kissed a girl
He’s 38 years old never kissed a girl
Rejected since day 1
My name is, Bastard Son
I've been dead so many times I've lost count
Blue collar working man
Defaceless masterplan
But go work with a mental side on
I'm sinking, I'm twisted
I'm broke and you can't fix it
Don't make me, cause I'll do it
Red blood and then we'll all go
Into the river below
I'm running from the inferno
They'll think I'm insane
But you'll all know my name
Into the river below
I'm running from the inferno
I'll take all the blame
The frontpage and the fame
Contraption
Made of bones
Nuts and bolts
Creates them
New monster
Brought your family tree down
Tick tocking
Times up now
Split second
Though it fell
Lonley hearts
Never had nobody
I'm sicking, I'm twisted
I'm broke and you can't fix it
Don't make me cause I'll do it
Red blood and then we'll all go
Into the river below
I'm runnig from the inferno
They'll think I'm insane
But you'll all know my name
Into the river below
I'm running from the inferno
I'll take all the blame
The frontpage and the fame
I'll take all the blame
The frontpage and the fame
Into the river below
Into the river below
Into the river below
Into the river below
Into the river below
I'm running from the inferno
They'll think I'm insane
But you'll all know my name
Into the river below
I'm running from the inferno
I'll take all the blame
The frontpage and the fame
Yeah I'll take all the blame
The frontpage and the fame
But you'll all know my name
And they'll think I'm insane
But you'll all know my name
But they'll think I'm insane
Hello, how are you doing today?
I hope I find you feeling healthy
I'm so glad our paths crossed this time today
On our way into the night
I say it's love, it's hiding deep, deep down inside us all
So maybe, we'll shed a little love from deep inside
Love, it's not so tough if you come admit it too
Well, baby, you're hearts into a thousand pieces dashed
Stop only the old and wise, with clouded eyes
You can't see what I can
'Cause I blindly throw my faith to the face
Of the next pretty girl that comes my way
Here we are all of us stand around
We're leaning heavy on each other
Always wondering what is it lies behind
The worried eyes of the woman that I love
I believe it's love, it's hiding there in the shadows, in the darkness
Maybe we'll shed a little light and it will shine
So love, when I approach my tears they fall like rain
'Cause you know maybe, my heart into a thousand pieces dashed
Stop only old and wise, with clouded eyes
You can't see what I can
'Cause I blindly throw my faith to the face
Of the next good thing that comes my way
I say it's love, so share it out, share it fair, but share it now though
Maybe the things a better world that could be loved
But love, when I approach the tears they fall like rain
You tell me baby, your heart into a thousand pieces dashed
Stop only old and wise, with clouded eyes
You can't see what I can
I blindly throw my faith to the face
Of the next good thing that comes my way
I wish I would've met you
Now it's a little late.
What you could've taught me
I could've saved some face
They think that your early ending
Was all wrong
For the most part they're right
But look how they all got strong
That's why I say hey man, nice shot
What a good shot man.
A man
Has gun
Hey man
Have fun
Nice shot
Now that the smoke's gone
And the air is all clear
Those who were right there
Got a new kind of fear
You'd fight and you were right
But they were just to strong
They'd stick it in your face
And let you smell what they consider wrong.
That's why I say hey man, nice shot
What a good shot man.
A man
Has gun
Hey man
Have fun
Nice shot
I wish I would've met you
I wish I would've met you
I'd say
Nice shot.
