Kill the ghost
That hides in your soul
Rock 'n' Roll
Rock 'n' Roll
Rock Rock

Wipe the blood from your Halo
Open wound that you hide your shadow's pride
Spit in the face of the ugly clown
Who'll hunt you down
But you can't hide
Exterminate the future

Kill the ghost
That hides in your soul
Rock 'n' Roll
Kill the ghost
That hides in your soul
Rock 'n' Roll

Whispers of the future
Broke in half in your skull with a hook in your smile
Exterminate the future

Kill the ghost
That hides in your soul

Kill the ghost
That hides in your soul

You can't run from the future
You can't change the past
You're not that fast

You can't run from the future
You can't change the past
Not that fast

Kill the ghost
That hides in your soul

Kill the ghost
That hides in your soul

Kill the ghost
That hides in your soul

Kill

Rock N Roll

The fire started long ago
The flames burned out, still embers glow
So charred and black
There's nothing left to burn, to burn

We had the same dream
Lived life to extreme
A loaded gun jammed by a rose

The thorns are knots around your head
Your ego cursed you till you bled
You cannot crucify the dead
To me you're dead, yeah

The future isn't set in stone
Decisions past leave you alone
Betrayed us all with your own selfish greed, your greed, yeah

New soldiers now say
That your beggars collect
Re-crucified and paid by you


The thorns are knots around your head
Your ego cursed you till you bled
You cannot crucify the dead
To me you're dead, yeah

We were like brothers with the world in our hands
You always have too much to say
Someday you look back and you wonder why
You let it all slip away, yeah

SOLO

Crucify the dead
Crucify the dead

The thorns are knots around your head
Your ego cursed you till you bled
You cannot crucify the dead
To me you're dead, yeah

I don't know who you are now
Mystery drenches my brain
I wanna jump deep into your mouth
Cuz something tell's me it's gonna rain

I hear the drum rolls thumping
And my heart starts jumping
And that's when I spin on the pole
Now my head's exploding
And your gun is dirty
So I'm guessing I'm on a roll
Well it's a fine time
Looking for a wine time man
And you said "baby you ready to play"
Well come right on this rollercoaster
Cuz it aint over, it aint over

Now we're on this planet
I'm in love with all your dangers, dangers
We can live forever
I can be your favorite angel, angel
Beautiful Dangerous

We acted smooth like rain
Save all flame that we'll light
You can be sick, I'll be nasty
Cuz sometimes it's more fun to fight

I hear the drum rolls thumping
And my heart starts jumping
And that's when I spit on the floor
Now my head's exploding
And your gun is dirty
So I'm guessing I'm on a roll
Well it's a fine time
Looking for a wine time man
And you said "baby you ready to play"
Well come right on this rollercoaster
Cuz it aint over, it aint over

Now we're on this planet
I'm in love with all your dangers, dangers
We can live forever
I can be your favorite angel, angel
Beautiful Dangerous

[Guitar Solo]

Now we're on this planet
I'm in love with all your dangers, dangers
We can live forever
I can be your favorite angel, angel
Beautiful Dangerous

Now we're on this planet
I'm in love with all your dangers, dangers
We can live forever
I can be your favorite angel, angel
Beautiful Dangerous

Woke up this morning all alone*
I got a ringing in my head
I couldn't take it anymore today
She left me here for dead
Ohh Woah yeah yeah...

And it should come as no surprise
I shoulda known it form the start
The lights are faded and I can't deny
This place ain't got no heart

Oh you can't hear me tonight.
You can't hear me tonight

You'll have to carry me back from Cali
I'm tired and broken and I lost my way
You'll have to carry me back to where I belong
You'll have to carry me back from Cali
I don't want money I don't need no fame
You'll have to carry me back to where I belong

I got to leave this angel city
But I can't do it by myself
So if you please mama can you save me
Before I blow this life to hell

Ooooooo
Mama grab me by the feet and just drag me home

You'll have to carry me back from Cali
I don't care if you think I'm to blame
You'll have to carry me back to where I belong
You'll have to carry me back from Cali
The angel city where the devils play
You'll have to carry me back to where I belong

Yeah...
You can't hear me to night
You can't hear me to night
You can't hear me to night
You can't hear me to night
I've lost my way I'm so alone
And all I want is to come home.

The first time I ever saw you
You had that far away look in your eyes
And heaven's eyes shined down upon you
And the whole room filled up with life

Now the cruel world it's gonna try and change you
Try to hang you up and mess with your pride
Now the rich can just try to chain you
You got to keep your fire burning inside

Promise me
You won't let them put out your fire
Put out your fire
Promise me
You won't let them put out your fire
Put out your fire

Now sometimes the world tries to slap you
And it seems to love watching you fall
I wont lie to you, it's gonna happen
You got to pick yourself up and move on

Promise me
You won't let them put out your fire
Put out your fire
Promise me
You won't let them put out your fire
Put out your fire

Which star will I be thinking of tonight
Tonight
Which star will I be thinking of tonight
Tonight

Promise me
You won't let them put out your fire
Put out your fire
You won't let them put out your fire
Put out your fire

Promise me
(Why don't you)
Promise me
(Why don't you)
Promise me
(Why don't you)
Promise me
(Why don't you)

With the horses that you ride,
and the feelings left inside,
Comes a time you need to leave all that behind,
Well they claim they'd like to know,
and they won't could let you go,
And the people gather 'round for the last show,

Well there is a reward,
to live and die by the sword,
Well they tried to complicate you,
but you left it all behind.
All the worldly possessions,
are left for recollections,
and finally it's all gone!

They're releasing all the hounds,
What is lost can still be found,
When you're up above your feet,
you're on the ground.
Well there's those who choose to run,
following the setting sun,
and now it seems the journey has begun.

Well there is a reward,
to live and die by the sword,
Well they tried to complicate you
but you left it all behind.
All the worldly possessions,
are left for recollections,
and finally it's all gone!

With the horses that you ride,
and the feelings left inside,
Comes a time you need to leave all that behind.

Well there is no reward,
To live and die by the sword,
Well they tried to complicate you,
But you left it all behind,
All the worldly possessions,
are left for recollections,
And finally it's all gone!

So nice to see your face again
Tell me how long has it been
Since you've been here
(since you've been here)
You look so different than before
But still the person I adore
Frozen with fear
I'm out of love but I'll take it from the past
I'll let out words 'cause I'm sure It'll never last

And I've been saving
These last words for one last miracle
But now I'm not sure
I can't save you if
You don't let me
You just get me like I never
Been gotten before

Maybe it's the bitter wind
A chill from the Pacific rim
That brought you this way
(that brought you my way)
Do not make me think of him
The way he touched your fragile skin
That hunts me everyday
I'm out of love but I can't forget the past
I'm out of words but I'm sure it'll never last

And I've been saving
These last words for one last miracle
But now I'm not sure
I can't save you if
You don't let me
You just get me like I never
Been gotten before
Like I never been gotten before

So nice to see your face again
But tell me will this ever end?
Don't disappear

And I've been saving
These last words for one last miracle
But now I'm not sure
I can't save you if
You don't let me
You just get me like I never
Been gotten before
Like I never been gotten before

I went to see the doctor
He said you're pretty sick
You got some real bad habits
You'd better stop right quick

I said doctor that's real bad news
Don't know what I'm gonna do

Doctor
There's nothin' wrong with me
Doctor doctor
Can't you see
Doctor
I ain't gonna die
Just write me an alibi

I went to see a shaman
He said you'll be alright
Just keep doin' what you love
Every single night

I said that's what I need to hear
Took away my childish fears

Doctor
You're a stand up guy
Doctor doctor
My oh my
Doctor
You're the one for me
That's the mojo that I need

Don't you know that I feel alright
Doin' what I do
I ain't gonna tow the line
Not till' I turn blue
All I got is one short life
That's what people say
And I ain't gonna waste a second
Doin' what you say

*solo*

I won't be the one you like
I won't be the boy next door
I won't be the chosen one
That's not what I'm here for
I don't like the way you are
I despise what you hold dear
Don't you try to make me change
I'll haunt you for a thousand years

Doctor
Don't you talk that way
Doctor
Don't you mess my day
Doctor
Stay away from me
Sick is what I'd rather be
Doctor
Doctor doctor death
Doctor
Doctor out of breath
Doctor
I ain't gonna die
Just write me an alibi

[No lyrics]

I feel your comfort in my dreams
Unprotected silent screams
A light beyond your shadow beams
Still I don't know what it means

When seasons change
Then this remain

I hold on because I won't let go
Even though I know there's solitude to low
I hold on cause I cant' let go
I refuse to let the hands of fait unfold
I hold on
And when the darkness turns a day
I won't let you drift away
Conscience fades and some let go
But I hang on cause I know
When seasons change
Then this remain

I hold on because I won't let go
Even though I know there's solitude to low
I hold on cause I can't let go
I refuse to let the hands of fait unfold
I hold on

Slash solo

I hold on because I won't let go
Even though I know there's solitude to low
I hold on because I can't let go
I refuse to let the hands of fait unfold

Noooo, Noooo

I refuse to let the hands of fait unfold

I hold on
I hold on

I refuse to let the hands of fait unfold

Ohh, I hold on

We seem so lost and jaded
Well what a price to pay
Fear can be overstated,
and you seem infatuated
with finding who's to blame.

While it can seem so hard now,
I got a feeling we ain't meant to live this way.

Don't tell me it's too late,
cause I feel it too, we all love to hate
and let others lead the way.

Some searching to find
That love with a new piece of mind.

And still we march further away,
Singing our songs of yesterday.
While so much still stands in our way,
Voices with nothing to say.

Some feel that life's a favour,
While some don't have the time.
Wash up and kiss the alter,
All hail the mighty father,
but love will keep you blind.

Same questions we keep asking,
Won't hear the answers cause we're scared of what we'll find

We try and compensate through our troubled faith that should keep us safe
and keep searching for a sign.

Some searching to find
That love with a new piece of mind.

And still still we march further away,
Singing our songs of yesterday.
While so much still stands in our way,
Voices with nothing to say.

There wont be another day, no changing of the seasons,
And no one's gonna save us from the lies.

The greatest story ever told,
Is only what you make it.
There will be struggle and fear,
All by design

And still we march further away (We've been so logicated)
Singing our songs of yesterday (Nothing's got all the point to blame)
While so much still stands in our way (Yeahhhh!)
Voices with nothing to say

In the distance light years from tomorrow
Far beyond yesterday
She is watching, heart aching with sorrow
She is broken is broken, as she waits
Hoping when all is said and done we can learn to love and be as one

Oh Starlight, don't you cry we gonna make it right before tomorrow
Oh Starlight, don't you cry we're gonna find a place where we belong (where we belong)
And so you know, we'll never shine alone

There are shadows sleeping on the horizon
Leave us scared and so afraid
As the fall out of a world divided
It brings her tears and so much pain
And so we take cover from the dark
Hoping to find where we can start

Oh Starlight, don't you cry we gonna make it right before tomorrow
Oh Starlight, don't you cry we're gonna find a place where we belong (where we belong)
And so you know, you'll never shine alone
Starlight we'll find a place where we belong

You will see when the mountains fall and turn to dust
There's one thing that can't change
I believe there's something within each over us that always says
That will always remain as long as love never pains

Oh Starlight, don't you cry we gonna make it right before tomorrow
Oh Starlight, don't you cry we're gonna find a place where we belong (where we belong)
And so you know, you'll never shine alone
Starlight we'll find a place where we belong (we belong)

She is watching, heart aching with sorrow
She is broken is broken, as she waits

Hold my hands down
So they don't

In case you don't know
A saint is a sinner too

Blind my eseys so they
So I can't see

What coming for you
Is coming for me

I hear the choir sing
Calling me on back to you

And I forget now just what I'm supposed to do
When a saint is a sinner too

I hear the choir sing
Calling me on back to you

And I forget now just what I'm supposed to do
When a saint is a sinner too
A saint is a sinner too

Hold hold my hands down
Hold my hands down

I don't reach
I don't reach
So I don't reach for you

Oh oh
A saint is a sinner too

Gee, I really like your tits
I'll say anything that fits
We carry our vision
Wherever we go
If you keep your mouth shut
It's still gonna show

We're all gonna die
So let's get high
We're all gonna die
So let's be nice
I'm in the mood
So let's intrude
Pee on the ground
And jump around

I'm getting sick of paying bills
I need my doctor, I need my pills
We carry our women
Wherever we go
If you keep their mouth shut
They're gonna moan
(Mhm)

We're all gonna die
So let's get high
We're all gonna die
So let's be nice
I'm in the mood
So let's intrude
Pee on the ground (heh heh)
And jump around

Life is demanding
But I'm just a bum
And if I respect it, boy
I feel dumb!

SOLO

We're all gonna die
So let's get high
We're all gonna die
So let's be nice
I'm in the mood
So let's intrude
Pee on the ground
And jump around

We're all gonna die!

(We're all gonna die)
(Laughing)
(We're all gonna die)
(I wanna, I wanna, I wanna whip it out and pee on the ground!)
(We're all gonna die)

(feat. Koshi Inaba from B'z)

[English translation:]

Your teeth a little crookedly aligned, and your sticking touch
The light of the big sign in the outside of window I was looking at

Sorry I don't remember anything about you (Anything about you)
It's been gone away, this and that (this and that)
Tonight, somehow I'm more thirsty than usual

Before the dawn, you fell asleep, it was surely you, not me
With lots of glib words having been carried away, being clumsy, yeah it was me

Sorry I don't remember anything about you (Anything about you)
Covered with sand, this and that (this and that)
A red-hot wind is blowing inside of my mind

It was a mass of burning young jealousy
I really wanted to have you

Sorry I don't remember anything about you (Anything about you)
It's gone away, this and that. (this and that)
Forget myself and go on a spree and hurt somebody

I can't let it go... anything about you (Anything about you)
It has ruined everything, this and that (this and that)
Shiny days are being buried forever

[No lyrics]

(feat. Fergie & Cypress Hill)

Just a' urchin livin' under the street
I'm a hard case that's tough to beat
I'm your charity case
So buy me somethin' to eat
I'll pay you at another time
Take it to the end of the line
Ragz to richez or so they say
Ya gotta-keep pushin' for the fortune and fame
It's all a gamble
When it's just a game
Ya treat it like a capital crime
Evrybody's doin' their time
Chorus:
Take me down
To the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Take me home
Strapped in the chair of the city's gas chamber
Why I'm here I can't quite remember
The surgeon general says it's hazardous to breathe
I'd have another cigarette but I can't see
Tell me who ya gonna believe
Chorus
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
Captain America's been torn apart
Now he's a court jester with a broken heart
He said -
Turn me around and take me back to the start
I must be losin' my mind - "Are you blind?"
I've seen it all a million times

(Can't get the 1st line)
Doin her hair, runnin red lights in her underwear.
She likes to step on the gas,
put her foot to the floor,
music to her ears when the engines roar.

There ain't much she can't do
(Anything I want to do)
But when I turn my back
(I'm a mean speed demon, heart attack).

Baby can't drive, baby can't drive,
I'm a million miles away doing 105.
If you wanna survive, try and get there alive,
Baby can't drive, baby can't drive.

I got my (?) out, makin the stereo bleed,
Textin my girls while I'm drivin with my knees.
I'm doin my nails, I'm paintin em black, cause baby's hit the road and there's no turning back.

My knuckles turnin white, Cause baby wants to drive all night.
My hair is turnin grey, cause baby wants to drive all day.

Baby can't drive, baby can't drive,
I'm a million miles away doing 105.
If you wanna survive, try and get there alive,
Baby can't drive, baby can't drive.

Yeah, yeah, baby can't drive,
Yeah, yeah, yeahhhhhhhh!

Baby can't drive, baby can't drive,
I'm a million miles away doing 105.
If you wanna survive, try and get there alive,
Baby can't drive, baby can't drive.

Baby, baby, baby, baby can't drive.
You know I love you baby, but baby can't drive,
You just can't drive.
(I never said I could...uh-oh...not my car)

(feat. Beth Hart)

For everyone I loved and every road I've known
For all the trash I won
I celebrate... alone
Sit up straight, stupid, bite your tongue
The best that I am is said and done

Screams and whispers
Tell her I no longer hear her!

Mother Mary, she don't talk to me
Mother Mary, she don't talk to me
"Give her my apologies"
"And tell her not to cry"
Mother Maria

I holler like a king trying to keep his throne
But chewing on a stone is the only thing I own
Drugs and lovers
Nothing left under the covers

Chorus:
Mother Mary, she don't talk to me
Mother Mary, she don't talk to me
"Give her my apologies"
"And tell her not to cry"
Mother Maria

Anything you want
Anything you need
I give it all I got
Your attention please!
You never want it me
You never wanted me!

Sleep with me
Just for the bitter part
About me

(Slash SOLO)

Living's hardly
Living's hardly
Tell her I no longer want it

Chorus:
Mother Mary, she don't talk to me
Mother Mary, she don't talk to me
"Give her all apologies"
It's Mother Mary, she don't talk to me!

I still don't hear her voice
I still can't hear her voice
I don't deserve her
So tell her not to cry
Tell her not to cry
Tell her not to cry!
Mother Maria
