The Devil You Know

Blue skies - Once upon a dream All highs - never in-between Then into the Garden came the slider I'm here for you Said the spider to the fly And when I'm through You can open up your eyes to see Your world's on fire And the liar won't let go Atom and evil One more promise We can tame the sun And then we'll shine forever Someday you can cry for everyone who burned when you were clever Expand your mind We've got a place for you Just make believe That one and one are always two When into the parlour Comes the slider Just say no Atom and evil Falling's easy Rising will never be So we must rise together Here are the changes Power for harmony But then there's no forever Atom and evil Maybe if we cry together Maybe if we cry as one The tears that fall can kill the fire And keep everyone from Atom and evil Atom and evil Atom and evil Atom and evil

If you've never heard before There was once a time When only God had fire The moon and stars and nothing more To lead you through the night If there's a Hell and Satan had a daughter He must have sent her here to hide the flame We're still afraid Must be he taught her so well We've seen some light So why's it all the same Chorus: Superstition - go away We wear the mark Fear There's a corner of the mind With a door that always Opens up at sundown And what's inside is to remind you To hide from eyes that shine We ran until we found we had the power Illuminate the world and make it burn We're still afraid Must be that door in your brain You've seen some light And you pray it will return Chorus If there's a Hell and Satan sent his daughter She must have gotten lost And can't go home We're still afraid And he can't find her again We've seen some light But it will always be the same Chorus: Evilution go away We still share the mark Fear

At last alone His fire's dying burned another day Now to pretend And make up an ending somewhere far away He reached for a book all bound in leather Something that he knows he's never read And the first page says beware you've found the answer The next one says I wish that you were dead Don't go on, put it back You're reading from the Bible Black What's this world I see Who are you and who are me Maybe I just stumbled in the dark I must have been out cold but the way the story's told They found me lying naked in the rain..yeah Let me go I've seen religion But the light has left me blind Take me back I must have the Bible Black Well here I go again From the start and to the end I wish I could remember what I've done Now here's another spell It can take me straight to Hell And I feel I'm getting closer to my home Let me go I've found addiction And it makes me feel alive Take me back I must have the Bible Black He locks himself away and tastes the silence Hungry for another bite of wrong And just the words "oh Lord please take me with you" Took him to a place we don't belong Let him go He can't come back He's reading from the Bible Black! So if your fire's dying And what's the use of trying? I may know another place that you can go It's hiding in the pages But you may not come back You're reading from the Bible Black

A stab in the back is worth waiting for tonight He's seen enough joy for today A sudden attack Would just start the evening right And maybe a penance to pay Thunder and lightning Electric machines These are the devils That shout in his dreams Chorus: Double the pain He's strong he will survive Double the pain It will make him come alive Double the pain Games of the heart Not fair and you can't win But torture and anger can play You've never said no To just another spin And losing is one step away Friendly confusion Like nothing you've seen These are the demons That shout in his dreams Chorus A slap in the face To bring him back around It's a touch - like cool morning rain He's fallen from grace And slammed to the ground And begs for some more of the same Thunder and lightning Eccentric machines These are the devils That shout in his dreams Chorus Double the pain I'm sure I saw him smile Double the pain Let's kick him for awhile Double the pain

Just close your eyes You're on a caravan to Superman Sweet home infection He can kill you with a smile He'll come to you But like the wind He's here today then gone away Be born again Come taste the exhibition Chorus: Take a number Come and join the line Here's where you will find your Rock and roll angel Don't close your mind Just bring insanity and you'll see it all His light can blind you He's now he's revelation You've been wishing For the magic sign Here's where you will find your Rock and roll angel Perfect strangers in the dark Waiting for their lives to start Then behold your shining star I wonder who you are Perfect strangers in the dark Waiting for their lives to start But just before the dream begins You must confess your sins Soon to see the holy one Can he really block the sun Then at last our shining star Make me who you are

Another face at the window To take me away from you To a place that I just won't go It's always hard to remember Was it pleasure or pain oh well I just don't want to know And there's service with a smile Don't need to see your money But one more thing to do And we're just about to do it to you The turn of the screw He was born to be angry A fire that just burned cold And you knew you should keep away Then on a night in the city It happened he lost control So it's on to his last today They'll dress him up in style To walk the final mile to somewhere And one last thing to do Oh - maybe it could happen to you The turn of the screw If they lead we will follow And they're leading to you We measure in time And then we end The mountains we climb Are just pretend You'll be rich you'll be golden Just sign on the dotted line No need to read the rules And we might let you know If there's a way to beg or borrow But one more thing to do And how we love to put it to you The turn of the screw Here comes another You're empty and we're finished with you On to the next one And the turn of the screw

I'm sure you've never had this meal before We're still open stay and have some more It's been raised upon your body and your soul Total control Plenty of seating You know that you're eating the cannibals Taking till you've got no more to give Building boxes where you used to live The word out on the street is no delay Do it today Come to the meeting It's true that we're eating the cannibals Don't close your eyes We'll come while you're sleeping You reached for the skies Now we are calling It's all falling down Come on in we love our clientele You're here to taste revenge And so you shall It's been raised upon your body and your bones But now you're not alone Enough with the greeting 'Cause soon you'll be Eating the cannibals Eating the cannibals

Come lie on a bed of nails and slumber Rise up but the hands all pull you down My sunshine is wind and rain and thunder I sing but I can't make a song So if you want to know where I've been Hiding all these years Follow the tears Follow the tears Don't drink from the cup of human kindness It's a strange brew and poison to the touch Don't think that they're saving you the finest for last Or that you wanted too much So if you want to know where I've been Hiding all these years Follow the tears Follow the tears Follow the tears Follow the tears We'll be there for you I believed and I can tell you it's not true Run away before they find you again The consequence of the conscience Is that you'll be left somewhere Swinging in the air So if you want to know why I've been Hiding all these years You might just find the way Before the signs all disappear Follow the tears Follow the tears If you want to find me If you really care Follow the tears They're everywhere no no

She made the night But the dark's all right And his heart became the hunter A deadly bride It's suicide So take it slow Waiting alone for the witching hour Feeling the shock and the surge of power She's come to know She makes her way to the door forbidden Tomorrow she'll say that she did not really go there To neverwhere Never where And then the child Strange free and wild The picture of the mother The same cold eyes The same old lies The same as one another Together they wait for the witching hour Felling the heat and the push of power They need to know Left behind he's the uninvited Maybe the door will open if he Waits there At neverwhere Neverwhere The hand that rocks the cradle in the morning Could be lurking round the corner with a gun Before you take the time to say I'm sorry Remember where she's been And all the misery she's done And then the prize Time to decide But one last voice Be careful It's just too strong And he must belong So down we go Waiting for the witching hour Needing the shock and the surge of power He wants to know They make their way down to the door forbidden She waves him in at last And he's gone there To neverwhere Neverwhere Neverwhere

Someone said there's a lost horizon We must find a way to the throne Take his gold and the bed he lies on No mercy from hearts made of stone Before the fall we were only dancers Angels gliding over the floor Time stood still and we were sure of the answers We waited but some wanted more High above the world we had it all So no one seemed to care When evil came to call and Soon we knew temptation and we sinned Then he closed the door We can't come back again Before today it was a dark tomorrow Chained and cursed to wander with man But we've been told That it's time and we must go Does hopeless mean maybe we can Now we're back again we want it all And no one seems to know That evil's come to call and We will bring temptation and you'll sin Then we'll slam the door You can't come back again Chorus: Breaking into heaven - changing the rules Breaking into heaven - just a world full of fools Breaking into heaven - get ready for war Breaking into heaven - we only want more and more and more and more Far beneath the world we missed the sun Why did we believe it shines on everyone so Now we're here to take away your light So you can go forever where the next day's still tonight Chorus We're ready for war We're just outside your door Breaking into heaven We've just found the keys And we're breaking into heaven
