I walk the streets alone

On feeble bones I ride

My sins are etched in stone

I got no place to hide

Well, I was unshakable

In what I did believe

I feel so breakable

But have I been deceived

 

You showed me your paradise

And your carnival of souls

But my heart keeps telling me

That ain't the place to go

Well, I'm not invincible

So I want you to leave

Well, I'm so convincible

But have I been deceived

 

[CHORUS]

I take your words and try them on

Yeah, it's a perfect fit, boy

You tell me one size fits us all

Yeah, like an old straightjacket

Well, tell me why I'm so afraid

All my words are spoken

All my words are spoken

All my words are spoken

In a stolen prayer

 

I remember yesterday

When things were black and white

Never thought I'd get confused

On what was wrong and right

Well, I'm not unbreakable

With armour on my skin

Well, it's not unthinkable

I could be fooled again

 

[CHORUS]

 

You steal another minute from my life

You cut a little deeper with your knife

You steal a little breath from my air

And you don't care

And even thought I'm chokin'

All my words are spoken

 

I take your words and try them on

Yeah, it's a perfect fit, boy

You tell me one size fits us all

Yeah, like an old straightjacket

Take this world and try it on

Man, you're lookin' good boy

Stick your neck out on the block

So you won't miss nothing

Stretch your finger, grab your hair

Don't you feel like screaming

Feel the blood rush from your veins

Now you're a perfect zombie

Now I'm on my knees

 

All my words are spoken

All my words are spoken

All my words are spoken

All my words are spoken

All my words are spoken

In a stolen prayer

I don't know but I've been told

The streets of hell are paved with gold

Crazy, crazy

You told me that nothing's free

Except my own insanity

Crazy, maybe

Wake me, shake me

Wake me, shake me

 

You offer me the world and all its wealth

All for myself

You promised me a life eternally

And drink to my health

I may seem only half-glued

But I can see right through you

 

Burn it up, burn it down

Burn this sucker to the ground

Oh yeah, oh yeah

Going, going, going, gone

There's a party going on

And on, and on, and on

 

Do you think I don't know who you are

A fallen star

When I feel my soul scream out at night

I know you're not far

You need a better disguise

This one won't win any prize

 

Burn it up, burn it down

Burn this sucker to the ground

Oh yeah, oh yeah

Going, going, going, gone

There's a party going on

And on, and on, and on

 

Cleansed by fire, cleansed by fire

I may seem only half-glued

But I can see right through you

 

What about dark

What about light

What about wrong

What about right

What about death

What about sin

What about the web you're trying to spin

 

What about truth

What about life

What about glory

What about Christ

What about peace

What about love

What about faith in God above

What about war

What about hell

What if I stumble

What if I fell

What about blood

What about greed

And all of these things you're offering me

 

Yeah, what about me, little me

You lose and I win

You couldn't suck me in

It's over, you have no power

You're lost And I'm found

And I'm Heaven bound

Go back to where you belong

To where you fell

Go to hell

Don't touch your lips

Don't wear your hair like that

I feel your presence all around me

Don't get too close

Don't move your eyes like that

Because they're deep enough to drown me

It don't get hot like this in Heaven

You fool me with your angel face

Your master knows where I'm my weakest

 

Mercy please, I'm on my knees

You're my temptation

Measure my faith, the devil's awake

He knows you're my temptation

 

Don't call my name

Don't brush my cheek like that

I curse the day that I found you

Don't touch my skin

Don't dance around like that

I feel damnation all around you

And so I raise my voice to Heaven

Please hide me in some holy place

Protect my soul, I'm only human

 

Mercy please, I'm on my knees

You're my temptation

Look down and see

Deliver me from my dark sensation

Give me faith, don't let me waste

You're my temptation

 

Come to me

You're such a liar

Won't you come to me

Move closer to the fire

Just come to me

No, no, no

Won't you come to me I will set you free

No, no, no

 

Mercy please, I'm on my knees

You're my temptation

Measure my faith, the devil's awake

He knows you're my temptation

Mercy please, I'm on my knees

You're my temptation

Go away in Heaven's name

You're my temptation

Go away, just go away

My dark sensation

The Last Temptation's great as far as his later works are concerned. I really enjoy "Sideshow" and "Lullaby".

 

"Along Came a Spider" is also a very good.

The lyrics aren't as good as he usually writes them, but I find that to be part of the charm of the album. The songwriting itself certainly makes up for it.

 

"Catch me, catch me if you can!"

 

I've been interested in listening to "Welcome 2 My Nightmare" but I've still not got around to it... Must be the style of the title :LOL:

So early days, nothing to exciting other than Billion Dollar Babies was everything I had not expected, in a really good way!

 

So yeah! I had expected something silly and childish, what I heard was really great, timeless rock n roll! So, a few more spins and it might just get under my skin!

Anyone who hasn't heard his radio show needs to check it out whether you're a fan or not! Alice is brilliant and seems to know everyone from Johnny Depp to Grouch Marx!

I know this is a bold statement, but "The Last Temptation" might just be my favourite Alice Cooper album.
