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 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 do you know where the power lies? and who pulls the strings do you know where the power lies it starts and end with you the face of isolation well well this one you recognize well you can't get staright 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 I was almost over my world was almost gone in a sudden rush I coul almost touch the things that I'd done wrong my sungle's made of concrete through silence I could feel my aim is true I will walk on through these mountains made of steel |

Pick me back up just to throw me back down
apoogies too like when you're up against the wall compassion heals while duplicity kills you say I'm different the only thing different is the way I feel about you Na na na na na na na na na na You moved up the ladder at a very rapid speed we moved methodically and calmly when you got to the top you see enemies if I knew back then what I know that it would all turn out like this I'd sit back and I'd watch you squirm cause you say I'm different the only thing different is the way i feel about you..... |
