Gimme Fuel, 
Gimme Fire, 
Gimme that which I desire, 
Ooh! 

Turn on...I see red 
Adrenaline crash & crash my head 
Nitro Junkie, Paint me dead 
And I see red 

One hundred plus through Black and White 
War Horse, Warhead 
Fuck 'Em Man, white knuckles tight 
Through Black & White 

Ohhh, On I Burn, 
Fuel is pumping engines, 
Burning hard, loose & clean 

And I burn, 
Churning my direction, 
Quench my thirst with Gasoline 

So Gimme Fuel, 
Gimme Fire, 
Gimme that which I desire, 

Hey 

Turn on beyond the bone 
Swallow future, spit out home 
Burn your face upon the crome 
Yeah! 

Take the corner, join the crash, 
Headlights, Headlines 
Another Junkie lives too fast 
Yeah lives way too fast, fast, fast, oohh-aye 

Ohhh, On I Burn 
Fuel is pumping engines 
Burning hard, loose & clean 

And On I burn 
Churning my direction, 
Quench my thirst with Gasoline 

So Gimme Fuel 
Gimme Fire 
Gimme that which I desire 

Yeah-Heah 

White Knuckle Tight! 
(solo) 

Gimmie Fuel.... On I burn, on and on 
Gimmie Fire.... On I burn, on and on 
My Desire.... 

Ohhh, On I Burn 
Fuel is pumping engines 
Burning hard, loose & clean 

And I burn 
Churning my direction 
Quench my thirst with Gasoline 

Gimme Fuel 
Gimme Fire 
Gimme that which I desire 
Ooh 

On I Burn!

(Hetfield, Ulrich)

Fortune, fame 
Mirror vain 
Gone insane 
But the memory remains 

Heavy rings on fingers wave 
Another star denies the grave 
See the nowhere crowd, cry the nowhere tears of honor 

Like twisted vines that grow 
That hide and swallow mansions whole 
And dim the light of an already faded prima donna 

Fortune, fame 
Mirror vain 
Gone insane... 
Fortune, fame 
Mirror vain 
Gone insane... 
But the memory remains 

Heavy rings hold cigarettes 
Up to lips that time forgets 
While the Hollywood sun sets behind your back 

And can't the band play on? 
Just listen, they play my song 
Ash to ash 
Dust to dust 
Fade to black 

Fortune, fame 
Mirror vain 
Gone insane... 
Fortune, fame 
Mirror vain 
Gone insane... 
Dance little tin goddess 

na-na-na 

Drift away 
Fade away 
Little tin goddess 

Ash to ash 
Dust to dust 
Fade to black 

Fortune, fame 
Mirror vain 
Gone insane... 
Fortune, fame 
Mirror vain 
Gone insane... 
But the memory remains 

Ash to ash 
Dust to dust 
Fade to black... 
But the memory remains 

Yeah 
Faded prima donna yeah, yeah 

(solo) 
Dance little tin goddess dance

. . .



Yeah, I feel you too 
Feel, those things you do 
In your eyes I see a fire that burns 
To free the you 
That's wanting through 
Deep inside you know, 
The seeds I plant will grow 

One day you will see 
And dare to come down to me 
Yeah c'mon, c'mon now take the chance 
That's right 
Lets dance 

Snake, I am the snake 
Tempting, that bite you take 
Let me make your mind 
leave yourself behind 
Be not afraid 
I've got what you need 
hunger I will feed 

One day you will see 
And dare to come down to me 
Yeah c'mon, c'mon now take the chance 
That's right 
Lets dance 

Yeah Come dancin' 

(solo) 

One day you will see 
And dare to come down to me 
Yeah c'mon, c'mon now take the chance 
That's right 
Lets dance 

Yeah, I feel you too 
Feel, those things you do 
In your eyes I see a fire that burns 
To free the you 
That's running through 
Deep inside you know 
seeds I plant will grow 

One day you will see 
And dare to come down to me 
Yeah c'mon, c'mon now take the chance 
That's right 
Let's dance! 

It's nice to see you here

. . .



Lay beside me, tell me what they've done 
Speak the words I wanna hear, to make my demons run 
The door is locked now, but it's open if you're true 
If you can understand the me, than I can understand the you 

Lay beside me, under wicked sky 
The black of day, dark of night, we share this paralyze 
The door cracks open, but there's no sun shining through 
Black heart scarring darker still, but there's no sun shining through 
No, there's no sun shining through 
No, there's no sun shining... 

What I've felt, what I've known 
Turn the pages, turn the stone 
Behind the door, should I open it for you.... 

What I've felt, what I've known 
Sick and tired, I stand alone 
Could you be there, 'cause I'm the one who waits for you 
Or are you unforgiven too? 

Lay beside me, this won't hurt I swear 
She loves me not, she loves me still, but she'll never love again 
She lay beside me, But she'll be there when I'm gone 
Black heart scarring darker still, yes she'll be there when I'm gone 
Yes, she'll be there when I'm gone 
Dead sure she'll be there... 

What I've felt, what I've known 
Turn the pages, turn the stone 
Behind the door, should I open it for you.... 

What I've felt, what I've known 
Sick and tired, I stand alone 
Could you be there, 'cause I'm the one who waits for you 
Or are you unforgiven too? 

Lay beside me, tell me what I've done 
The door is closed, so are you're eyes 
But now I see the sun, now I see the sun 
Yes now I see it 

What I've felt, what I've known 
Turn the pages, turn the stone 
Behind the door, should I open it for you.... 

What I've felt, what I've known 
Sick and tired, I stand alone 
Could you be there, 'cause I'm the one who waits, 
The one who waits for you.... 

Oh what I've felt, what I've known 
Turn the pages, turn the stone 
Behind the door, should I open it for you.... (So I dub thee unforgiven....) 

Oh, what I've felt.... 
Oh, what I've known.... 

I take this key (never free...) 
And I bury it (never me...) in you 
Because you're unforgiven too.... 

Never free.... 
Never me.... 
'Cause you're unforgiven too.... 
Oh

. . .



I look at you, then you me 
Hungry and thirsty I wait 
Holding the lion's share 
Holding the key 
Holding me back 'cause I'm striving to be 

Better than you 
Better than you (Jason) 
Better than you 
Better than you (Jason) 

Lock horns, I push and I strive 
Some how I feel more alive 
Bury the need for it 
Bury the seed 
Bury me deep when there's no will to be 

Better than you 
Better than you (Jason) 
Better than you 
Better than you (Jason) 

Oh, can't stop this train from rollin' 
Oh, nothing brings me down 
No, can't stop this train from rollin', no, no, no, no, no, 
No, no, forever only no... 

(solo 1) 

Oh, can't stop this train from rollin' 
Oh, you can't take it down 
No, never stop this locomotion, no, no, no, no, no, no, 
No, you can't bring it down 'cause I'm 

Better Than You 
Better Than You (Jason) 
Better Than You 
Better Than You (Jason) 
Oooh Better Than You 
Better Than You (Jason) 
Better Than You 
Better Than You (Jason) 
Much Better Than You 

Better Than You 
Better Than You (Jason) 
Oh Better Than You 
Better Than You (Jason) 
Better Than You 
Better Than You (Jason) 
Better Than 
Better Than 
Better Than 
Better Than You 

(solo 2) 

Can't stop this train from rollin' 

Forever on and on and on 
Forever on and on, on 

Better Than You 
Yeah 
Better Than You

Don't go lookin for snakes
You might find them
Don't send your eyes to the sun
You might blind them
Haven't I seen you here before?

Watch the puppets dancin'
See the clowns fall down
Tie your tap shoes tightly
And wear them into town

See you crawlin'
See you crawlin' in

Don't go lookin' for snakes
You might find them
Don't send your eyes to the sun
You might blind them
Haven't I seen you here before?
There ain't no heroes here

Play the game so nicely
Check, it's your move now
Standing in the jungle
With serpents I have found

See you crawlin'
See you crawlin' in

Don't go lookin' for snakes
You might find them
Don't send your eyes to the sun
You might blind them
Haven't I seen you here before?
Have your heroes disappeared?

See you crawlin'
See you crawlin' in

Don't go lookin for snakes
You might find them
Don't send your eyes to the sun
You might blind them
Haven't I seen you here before?
There ain't no heroes here

Haven't I seen you here before?
There ain't no heroes here

Don't go lookin for snakes
You might find them

Haven't I seen you here before?
Have your heroes disappeared?

Don't send your eyes to the sun
You might blind them

Hit dirt 
Shake tree 
Split sky 
Part sea 

Strip smile 
Lose cool 
Bleed the day 
And break the rule 

Live win 
Dare fail 
Eat the dirt 
And bite the nail 

Then make me miss you... 
Then make me miss you... 

So wash your face away with dirt 
It don't feel good until it hurts 
So take this world and shake it 
Come squeeze and suck the day 
Come carpe diem, baby 

Draw Lead 
Piss wine 
Sink teeth 
All mine 

Stoke fire 
Break neck 
Suffer through this 
Cheat on death 

Hug the curve 
Lose the time 
Tear the map 
And shoot the sign 

Then make me miss you... 
Then make me miss you... 

So wash your face away with dirt 
It don't feel good until it hurts 
So take this world and shake it 
Come squeeze and suck the day 
Come carpe diem, baby 

Yeah, Suck it! 
(Solo) 

Live win 
Dare fail 
Eat dirt 
Bite the nail 

Strip smile 
Lose cool 
Bleed the day 
And break the rule 

Hug the curve 
Lose the time 
Tear the map 
And shoot the sign 

Then make me miss you... (Come on, Come on) 
Then make me miss you... 

So wash your face away with dirt 
It don't feel good until it hurts 
So take this world and shake it 
Come squeeze and suck the day 

Come make me miss you... 
Come carpe diem baby 
Come carpe diem baby

. . .



Come clean, 'fess up
Tell all, spill gut
Off the veil, stand revealed
Show the cards
Bring it on
Break the seal

Ladies and gentlemen, step right up
And see the man who told the truth

Swing the noose again
Pierce the apple skin
You bit more than you need
Now you're chokin'
On the bad seed
On the bad seed
I'm chokin'

Let on, load off
Confess, cast off
At the mercy, the cat is out
Drop the disguise
Spit it up
Spit it out

And now, what you've all been waiting for
I give you he who suffers the truth

Swing the noose again
Pierce the apple skin
You bit more than you need
Now you're chokin'
On the bad seed
Chokin' on the bad seed

Off the veil
Stand revealed
Bring it on
Break the seal
At the mercy
Cat is out
Spit it up
Spit it out
Spit it up
Spit it out
Spit it out now

At the Mercy

Swing the noose again
Pierce the apple skin
You bit more than you need
Now you're chokin'
On the bad seed

Swing the noose again
Pierce the apple skin
You bit more than you need
Now your chokin' on the, chokin' chokin' chokin' on the bad seed

Off the veil
Stand revealed
Bring it on
Break the seal
At the mercy
Cat is out
Spit it up
Spit it out
Spit it up
Spit it out
Spit it out now

Chokin' on the bad seed

So wake up sleepy one... 
It's time to save your world... 

Steal dreams and give to you 
Shoplift a thought or two 
All children touch the sun 
Burn fingers one by one, by one... 

Will this earth be good to you 
Keep you clean or stain through.... 

So wake up sleepy one... 
It's time to save your world... 
You're where the wild things are... 
Yeah, toy soldiers off to war... 

Big eyes to open soon 
Believing all under sun and moon 
But does heaven know you're here? 
And did they give you smiles or tears? 
No, no tears 

Will this earth be good to you? 
Keep you clean or stain through.... 

So wake up sleepy one... 
It's time to save your world... 
You're where the wild things are... 
Yeah, toy soldiers off to war... 

Solo 

(Backing Vocals) 
You swing your ?ass all down? 
Call to arms the trumpets sound 
Toy horses start the charge 
Robots, chessmen standing guard 
We Shall Never Surrender!!!! 
Hand puppets storm the base 
Flags up now cannons rage 
Hand puppets storm the base 
Flags up now cannons rage 
All clowns head for the rear 
Slingshots fire to the air 
All clowns head for the rear 
Slingshots fire to the air 
Slip into the edge of death 
Crossfire to the marionettes 
Slip into the edge of death 
Crossfire to the marionettes 
We Shall Never Surrender!!!! 

All children touch the sun 
Burn your fingers one by one 
Will this earth be good to you? 
Keep you clean or stain through.... 

So wake up sleepy one... 
It's time to save your world... 
You're where the wild things are... 
Yeah, toy soldiers off to war... 

So close your little eyes... 

. . .



It's a black cloud over head 
That's me 
And the poison ivy chokes the tree 
Again it's me 
I'm the filthy one on Bourbon Street 
You walk on by 
I'm the little boy that pushes hard 
And makes him cry 

There's a dirty needle in your child 
Ha ha, stick me 
An empty bottles still in hand still dead 
Still me 
I'm the suit and tie that bleeds the street 
And still wants more 
I'm the 45 that's in your mouth 
I'm a dirty, dirty whore 

Yeah look it's me 
The one who can't be free 
Much too young to focus 
But to old to see 

Hey look it's me 
What no one wants to see 
See what you brought this world 
Just what you want you want to see 
Hey ma, hey ma look it's me 

Yeah, he wants to become father now 
Me again me 
The marks inside your arms, spell me 
Spell only me 
I'm a nothing face that plants the bomb 
And stroles away 
I'm the one who doesn't look quite right 
As children play 

Yeah look it's me 
The one who can't be free 
Much too young to focus 
But to old to see 

Hey look it's me 
What no one wants to see 
See what you brought this world 
Just what you want you want to see 
Hey ma, hey ma look it's me 

It's me... 
(Solo 1) 

Look up to me, 
What to be and what to fear 
Look up to me 
Look it's me, at what you hear 
See right through me 
See the one who can't be free 
See right through me 
Look it's me what no one wants to see 

Hmmm, now, see the black cloud up ahead 
that's me 
And this poison ivy chokes the tree 
Again it's me 
And I'm the filthy one on Bourbon Street 
You walk on by 
I'm the little boy that pushes, pushes 
Makes him cry 

Yeah look it's me 
The one who can't be free 
Much too young to focus 
But to old to see 

Hey, hey, look it's me 
What no one wants to see 
See what you brought this world 
Just what you want you want to see 
Hey ma, hey ma look it's me 

Hey ma, hey ma look it's me 
(Solo 2)

My eyes seek reality 
My fingers seek my veins 
There's a dog at your back step 
He must come in from the rain 

I fall cause I let go 
The net below has rot away 
So my eyes seek reality 
And my fingers seek my veins 

The trash fire is warm 
But nowhere safe from the storm 
And I can't bare to see 
What I've let me be 
So wicked and worn 

So as I write to you 
Of what is done and to do 
Maybe you'll understand 
And won't cry for this man 
'Cause low man is due 

Please forgive me 

My eyes seek reality 
My fingers feel for faith 
Touch clean with a dirty hand 
I touched the clean to the waste 

The trash fire is warm 
But nowhere safe from the storm 
And I can't bare to see 
What I've let me be 
So wicked and worn 

So as I write to you 
Of what is done and to do 
Maybe you'll understand 
And won't cry for this man 
'Cause low man is due 

Please forgive me 
Please forgive me 
Please forgive me 

So low the sky is all I see 
All I want from you is forgive me 
So you bring this poor dog in from the rain 
Though he just wants right back out again 

And I cry, to the alley way 
Confess all to the rain 
But I lie, lie straight to the mirror 
The one I've broken, to match my face 

The trash fire is warm 
But nowhere safe from the storm 
And I can't bare to see 
What I've let me be 
So wicked and worn 

So as I write to you (yeah) 
Of what is done and to do (yeah) 
Maybe you'll understand 
And won't cry for this man 
'Cause low man is due 

Please forgive me 
Please forgive me 

So low the sky is all I see 
All I want from you is forgive me 
So you bring this poor dog in from the rain 
Though he just wants right back out again 

My eyes seek reality 
My fingers seek my veins

. . .



Suppose I say...
I'm never satisfied
Suppose I say
You cut some root
To make the tree survive

Just let me kill you for a while
Just let me kill you for a smile
Just let me kill you once
I'm oh so bored to death

I hunger
I hunger
I eat

Born into attitude
Asleep at the wheel
Throw all your bullets in the fire
And run like hell
Why cure the fever?
What ever happened to sweat?

Suppose I say
The vultures smile at me
Suppose I say
I've sent them down
And they plan to pick you clean

And satisfaction this way comes
And satisfaction this way comes
And satisfaction's here and gone, gone
gone again

I hunger
I hunger
I eat

Born into attitude
Asleep at the wheel
Throw all your bullets in the fire
And stand there

Born into attitude
Twist mother tongue
Throw all your bullets in the fire
And run like hell
Why cure the fever?
What ever happened to sweat?

Just let me kill you for a while
Just let me kill you for a smile
Just let me kill you once for me
I'm bored to death

And satisfaction this way comes
And satisfaction this way comes
And satisfaction's here and gone, gone
gone again

I hunger
I hunger
I eat

Born into attitude
Asleep at the wheel
Throw all your bullets in the fire
And stand there

Born into attitude
Twist mother tongue
Throw all your bullets in the fire
And run like hell
Why cure the fever?
What ever happened to sweat?

Dolls of voodoo all stuck with pins 
One for each of us and our sins 
So you lay us in a line 
Push your pins they make us humble 
Only you can tell in time 
If we fall or nearly stumble 

But tell me 
Can you heal what father's done? 
Or fix this hole in mother's son? 
Can you heal the broken worlds within? 
Can you strip away so we may start again? 

Tell me 
Can you heal what father's done? 
Or cut this rope and let us run? 
Just when all seems fine 
And I'm pain free 
You jab another pin 
Jab another pin in me 

Mirror, mirror upon the wall 
Break the spell or become the doll 
See you sharpening the pins 
So the holes will remind us 
We're just the toys in the hands of another 
And in time, the needles turn from shine to rust 

But tell me 
Can you heal what father's done? 
Or fix this hole in mother's son? 
Can you heal the broken worlds within? 
Can you strip away so we may start again? 

Tell me 
Can you heal what father's done? 
Or cut this rope and let us run? 
Just when all seems fine 
And I'm pain free 
You jab another pin 
Jab another pin in me 

Jab it 
Here come the pins 

Blood for face 
Sweat for dirt 
Three X's for the stone 
To break this curse 
A ritual's due 
I believe I'm not alone 
Shell of shotgun 
Pint of gin 
Numb us up to shield the pins 
Renew our faith 
Which way we can 
To fall in love with life again 
To fall in love with life again 
To fall in love with life again 
To fall in love 
To fall in love 
To fall in love with life again 

So tell me 
Can you heal what father's done? 
Or fix this hole in mother's son? 
Can you heal the broken worlds within? 
Can you strip away so we may start again? 

Tell me 
Can you heal what father's done? 
Or cut this rope and let us run? 
Just when all seems fine 
And I'm pain free 
You jab another pin 
Jab another pin in me 

No more pins in me 
No more, no more pins in me 
No more, no more pins in me 
No more, no more, no more 
No, no, no
