She knows there's no success like failure;
And that failure's no success at all.
When destruction cometh swiftly;
And there's no time to say a fare-thee-well,;
Have you decided whether you want to be;
In heaven or in hell?
Train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory
We're idiots, babe.;
It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves.
Well my house is on fire, burning to the sky
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,;
And the dust of rumors covers me.
He bought me with a price,;
Freed me from the pit,;
Full of emptiness and wrath;
And the fire that burns in it.
But I will be back, I will survive,;
You'll never get rid of me as long as you're alive.
Do you ever wonder just what God requires?;
You think He's just an errand boy to satisfy your wandering desires.
Boys in the street beginning to play;
Girls like birds flying away
If God's on our side;
He'll stop the next war.
I've paid the price of solitude, but at last I'm out of debt.
The sky is trembling, And I must leave.
Are you still my friend, baby, show me a sign
I've gained some recognition but I lost my appetite.
Junk is piling up, taking up space
he not busy being born, Is busy dying
I still can remember the way that you smiled
Look into infinity, all you see is trouble.
When He rose from the dead, did they believe?
Everybody is making love
Or else expecting rain
'Twas then that I knew what he had on his mind.
Sometimes the devil likes to drive you from the neighborhood.;
He'll even work his ways through those whose intentions are good.
Go melt back into the night, babe,;
Everything inside is made of stone.;
There's nothing in here moving, An' anyway I'm not alone.
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
Rock me, pretty baby, rock me 'til everything gets real;
Rock me for a little while, rock me 'til there's nothing left to feel;
And I'll rock you too
Go 'way from my window,;
Leave at your own chosen speed.
For the loser now;
Will be later to win
I can tell you fancy, I can tell you plain;
You give something up for everything you gain
