Maxwell can tell he's in hell
He just wants you to visit him there Same old game that he's playing His rules are never fair (Chorus) Nobody want to look back Everybody want to get high tonight before they run out of time Where's the felon, the chargiale felon The name of the crook who committed the crime 9-9-9 if you really want the truth Dial 9-9-9 if you can't see it through He ain't Jack the Ripper He's your ordinary crook Calling maxwell murder for you Maxwell got a hand in this plan He knows who you are in this plan Shop the rock before you bought it Sickness Maxwell knows you caught it (Chorus) Calling maxwell murder for you |

Hey little sister do you know what time it was
when you finally seen all your broken dreams come crashing down your door they demand an answer and they demand it quick or the questions fade and the wasted days come crawling back for more and I say *do you know where the power lies? and who pulls the strings do you know where the power lies it starts and ends with you the face of isolation well that's one you recognize well you can't get straight it's a lonely place and it's one you do despise boredom is for sale now and helplessness you feel it's a wounded dove and the hawks are above blood splattered on a reel to reel *repeat I was almost over my world was almost gone in a sudden rush I could almost touch the things that I'd done wrong my jungle's made of concrete through silence I could feel my aim is true I will walk on through these mountains made of steel. *repeat |
