Oh my god
There's millions of them! I've seen a fire start in Frisco The day that the earth quaked I've seen buildings a-blazing Throwing up in flames I heard men, women and children Crying out to their God for mercy But their God didn't listen So they were burned alive They went down, down, deep underground In the great disaster I was hanging out in Berlin In the year one thousand nine hundred and thirty nine I've seen Hitler's storm troopers March right across the Maginot Line I've seen two world wars I've seen men send rockets out into space I foresee a holocaust An angel of death descending to destroy the human race Down, down, deep undergound A great disaster In the sixteenth century there was a French philosopher By the name of Nostradamus Who prophesised that in the late twentieth century An angel of death shall waste this land A holocaust the likes of which This planet had never seen Now, I ask you Do you believe this to be true? I was standing by the bedside The night that my father died He was crying out in pain To his God he said, "Have mercy, mercy!" His body was riddled with a disease Unknown to man so he expected no cure But before he died that night He was lost, insane He went down, down, deep underground A great disaster You'll go down, down, deep underground A great disaster I think they've got now! Angel of Death (Lynott, Wharton) [Lorelei version] -------------- I was hanging round in Frisco In the year of one hundred and nineteen six When I heard about the earthquake The world trembled from within I saw the fire ragin Through all that time I heard people dying They went down, down, deep underground In the great disaster I was hanging out in Berline In the year one hundred nineteen and thirty nine I've seen Hitler's storm troopers March right across the Maginot line I've seen men run away crying "Gas!" Right in front of their throats I wouldn't think that I was squeezing They went down, down, deep underground a great disaster I was standing at the bedside That night my father died I could see him crying for mercy A disease had got his body I was afraid then As I am now The Lord did not hear him He went anyhow He went down, down, deep underground It was a disaster I will go down, down, underground To meet my master Down, down |

He's just a boy that his lost his way
He's a rebel that has fallen down He's a fool been blown away To you and me he's a renegade He's a clown that we put down He's a man that doesn't fit He's a king but not in this town To you and me he's a renegade But he is a king when he's on his own He's got a bike and that's his throne And when he rides he's like the wind To you and me he's a renegade He's just a boy who has lost his sights He's a stranger, prowls the night He's a devil, that's right To you and me he's a renegade Check it out, check his face Look at his eyes, they're so sly I wonder why he cries from the inside I wonder why he's a renegade Oh please, I'm on my begged bended knees Oh please, please heed my call He's just a boy that has lost his way He's just a boy, that's all |

I better keep myself from being busted
I better keep myself out of jail 'cause i ain't got a friend to get me trusted That's why my mama sends my money through the mail I've been down on my luck I've been down on my wealth I'm gotta stop taking care of business Start taking care of my health I've gotta leave this town I've gotta leave this town behind I've gotta leave this town tonight Well i set off down the main street With such a long, long way to go But before i started i was cornered on the corner Still waiting for my sugar to show I've been down on my luck I've been down on my wealthI've gotta stop taking care of somebody's else's business Start taking care of myself I've gotta leave this town I've gotta leave this town behind I've gotta leave this town tonight I was fooling around with the sheriff's daughter She was a real fine fox But the sheriff he came after And threatened to lock me in a cell box He showed me his magnum He showed me his shotgun He stuck it in my face And said, "boy, i think you best be gone" I've gotta leave this town I've gotta leave this town behind I've gotta leave this town tonight |

Hey listen closely
Listen while i tell you Why he loves you And what he misses mostly It's pointless his pretending He's got a broken heart A broken heart That needs mending You didn't tell him You didn't want to see him again He's going crazy He's reckless Without you baby He's helpless It's deadly how you broke him He's a fool Without you baby I'm not joking You didn't tell him You didn't want to see him again Now when i'm down My friends they come around And when i'm upset My friends they help me forget But how can he forget? He hasn't got a friend 'cos no one told him You didn't want to see him again He's all washed up and washed out Without you baby Every place he goes He's thrown out He's turned vicious He's malicious Just goes to show how much he misses You know what He wouldn't tell me You didn't want to see him again You didn't tell him You didn't want to see him again I couldn't tell him You didn't want to see him again I didn't tell him You didn't want to see him again |

The man finds himself alone for the first time in his life
He's always got a problem, he's got to work it out wrong or right He's got to work it out, he's so lonely in the night He's got to work it all alone Now who in the world would believe that he's got another trick up his sleeve And who in the world wants to know which way should he go Which way should he turn? which way should he learn? Which day should he stop? which way to the top? I remember him when we were friends, when we were young, way back then I still can recall when we were small how he tried his best to warn us all This living on his own has turned his heart to stone and it's all pain He sits out on his own and eats his heart out alone in the pouring rain Now who in the world would have know That just a few years ago his love could have grown and grown Through the rain, the sleet and snow But the rain, the sleet and snow chills the heart and kills the soul So the let the cold winds blow What he doesn't see he doesn't know I remember him when we were friends, when we were young, way back then I recall it all when we were small how he tried his best to warn us all I remember it still, i always will when we were friends way back thenI recall it all when we were small how he tried his best to warn us all He said, "watch out for the danger" He said, "watch out" The man is a winner for the first time in his life He looks a little thinner but he says "hey that doesn't matter" But if you look closely You'll see a cold smug self-satisfactory smile behind And now that he has won it doesn't matter how or which way it was done Now that he's in control, revenge is |
