(...the lonely road to mystery bay) Well, the night was dark and the moon was pale the saints were searching for the holy grail i drove real slow in the ultrafast way on the lonely road to mystery bay well, it's the goddamned truth - no, it ain't no tale when the bad stay hungry - then the good ones fail i've seen too much - that's the price you pay on the lonely road to mystery bay suddenly the radio screamed it was still switched off but, man, it seemed like a kiss of yesterday on the lonely road to mystery bay and when the night is over and they've swallowed your pride and there ain't no place to hide: recall - recall - recall - recall ...on the lonely road to mystery bay ...on the lonely road to mystery bay recall - recall - recall - the fall - recall the fall well, the radio ghost said: "it's time to go to the reasons why and the grace below it's not the aim - it's just the way on the lonely road to mystery bay well, what could i say - what could i do? lightning flashed and so did you as i woke up and the light of day told me "welcome to mystery bay" and when the night is over...

He was water when the river took a screaming mother's life in the night he was the reasonn why the ripper used his knife he was anger, hate and misery in a billion deadly wars he was the rising flag of violence when fanatism made the laws he did where the snake led Adam to damnation with a grin he was around when the young girl lost her innocence to a man not worth her sin all the years he was a gambler threw the cards and rolled the dice fed the ages of temptation with the grapes of sacrifice mephisto - just a painted voice mephisto - when you cut quit noise mephisto - with a helping hand mephisto - you're lost my friend with every soul he takes another piece of his cold heart breaks he was not allowed to cry when the earth screamed loud in pain when silence broke the music and millions died in vain he's the inner voice of darkness that makes your conscience die he was the smoke over battlefields and the deadly thirst of science mephisto...

Someday - time will tell - you will see what a gift this life is - we are meant to be free when we leave this world behind the magic of the night leads the naked and the blind to the other side of a dreamer's golden mind and forevers burn so bright turn around and you will find another shinin' light down on senseless avenue all your fantasies come true welcome home, my chosen few when your hot gets a little cold when your young gets a little old your now gets a little then subway angel's caravan there's a seat that knows your name when things have gone astray and there's no one left to blame 'cause your friends all went away i'm the reason you've denied and the clown of life's decay down on senseless avenue..... "love rules" says the neon sign "trust calls when your blood is wine..." when your hot gets a little cold....

So here's to you - my last farewell: I hate your face i hate your smile i hate your grace i hate your style i hate your words your silence, too -all i can say is: i hate you i hate your good i hate your bad i hate your blue i hate your red i hate your clothes your presence, too -all i can say is: i hate you there's a trace and a tear below my wishes taste like fire you're just a gun for hire so here's to you - my last farewell i hope your soul will burn in hell i've worked real hard to break this spell all that remains is my last farewell i hate your wrong i hate your right i hate your strong i hate your light i hate your soft your violence, too -all i can say is: i hate you there's a trace.... i hate your truth - i hate your lies i hate your false self sacrifices i hate your tricks - your matches, too all I can say is: i hate you so here's to you - my last farewell
I've lost and loved screamed and cried i've seen the devil's face and on the other side i've seen the rainbow i've seen your smile i've seen the mountains high and I've tried to keep my style someday we'll find - someday we'll know someday the blind will see to show someday we'll fight someday we'll pray someday all the dreams - all the tears all my lies and all my fears all the blood - all the pain all the friends I've lost in vain all the love - all the hate all the trust and all the fate and when someday I'll reach the end lust to ashes - dust to sand i've seen the rise i've seen the fall i've seen 'em up again and higher after fall i've been the trigger i've been a fool i've been the last to know and I've been a tool someday we'll find.... lust to ashes - dust to sand lust to ashes - dust to sand

believe someone's blood is another one's wine I believe someone's trace is another one's sign I believe someone's love is another one's hate I believe someone's soon is much too late you look surprised - you shouldn't be, my friend this world is full of cretins who still pretend to sell tomorrow and a guiding light I do believe in nothing but the night someone's pleasure is another one's pain - glissando someone's fire is another one's rain - glissando someone's lightning flashed in vain - glissando I believe - I don't know I believe - life will show I believe - it's time to go glissando I believe someone's lie is another one's truth I believe someone's dawn is another one's youth I believe someone's gold is another one's grey I believe someone's lust is the price to pay you look surprised....

Someday I'll find a way tonight I found just shame someday - my life delay might break this spell of fame today is like tomorrow tomorrow's just like yesterday the tales below and the skies of time's decay someday may rule the show and silent waves the bay today is like tomorrow tomorrow's just like you and so I'm far from home I'm miles away wherever I may roam so I'm far from home I'm miles away wherever I may roam the waters flow the wild winds blow I walk the line and here I go I'm far away from home someday - to run and hide in the workd outside to stay someday may tame the light only angels ride and stray today is like tomorrow.... just one more word in spanish "adios" I have to say I follow trails and vanish beyond the morning's grey someday I'll find "together" somewhere I'll find a trace someone to stand in weather and never fall from grace someday like now or never somewhen like joy and pain somehow to last forever against the streams and lost in vain and so I'm far from home.

Below the mighty cliff where the lovers use to hide they found a skeleton on the beach the day the loner died it just lay there with broken bones in the rays of the sunset's light well, the loner was some kinda relict from another century the sidewalk angels gave him a smile when he helped the lost for free he always wore a long black coat and some real old working shoes some years ago he had been a teacher 'til the stormflood made the news the day of the loner he lost his wife and kid and - for sure - the will to live he turned to heavy drinkin' and then he jumped off that mighty cliff it must have been a miracle he didn't die or even got hurt and the next day he went down to the dark part of town a crusader against the dirt the day of the loner.... the cops, they never caught him and they left with a smile on the face and the years rode away but the loner stayed until someday he lost the race but as the smoke cleared just a long black coat but no body was ever found and somewhere nowhere a teacher met his family on heavenly ground the day of the loner....

The one and only liar lost his faith and cried where the broekn candles burn he gazed into the fire saw the truth and died and the wheels of time did turn and when the strangers meet to face my heart - my life - my tears inside in this world we know where do we go without pride? hey mister, can't you tell me why the bells call and the wheels of time will turn forever fear the silence in my soul and the wheels of time will turn and never rest where golden dices roll and the wheels of time will turn - forever's just a six - feet - under - hole the last and lonely hero latley passed away his ghost is ridin' on the wind destination zero every single day he shares a smile with those who sinned and the wheels of time....
