In the land of gods and monsters I was an angel Living in the garden of evil Screwed up, scared, doing anything that I needed Shining like a fiery beacon You got that medicine I need Fame, liquor, love, give it to me slowly Put your hands on my waist, do it softly Me and God we don't get along, so now I sing No one's gonna take my soul away Living like Jim Morrison Headed towards a fucked up holiday Motel, sprees, sprees, and I'm singing Fuck yeah give it to me, this is heaven, what I truly want It's innocence lost Innocence lost In the land of gods and monsters I was an angel, lookin' to get fucked hard Like a groupie incognito posing as a real singer Life imitates art You got that medicine I need Dope, shoot it up straight to the heart please I don't really wanna know what's good for me God's dead, I said 'baby that's alright with me' No one's gonna take my soul away Living like Jim Morrison Headed for a fucked up holiday Motel, sprees, sprees, and I'm singing Fuck yeah give it to me, this is heaven, what I truly want It's innocence lost Innocence lost When you talk it's like a record and you're making me crazy 'Cause life imitates art If I get a little prettier, can I be your baby? You tell me life isn't that hard No one's gonna take my soul away I'm living like Jim Morrison Headed for a fucked up holiday Motel, sprees, sprees, and I'm singing Fuck yeah, give it to me, this is heaven, what I truly want It's innocence lost Innocence lost

You’re like a bottle of filth I wanna spit in your eyes You better watch where you step You’re walking thin ice I wanna know what it feels like I wanna know what you see So quit playing around I aint playing around How much hope can you kill? How much hate can you breed? How much more can I take? Or just bottle it up, I just bottle it up… You’re like a bottle of filth A parasite of the mind You keep fucking around Fuck around and you’ll die I wanna know what it feels like I wanna know how you bleed So stop playing around I aint playing around How much hope can you kill? How much hate can you breed? How much more can I take? Or just bottle it up, I just bottle it up… Now I can feel it, It’s like a leech on my skin And I can taste it, drawing blood from within Sucking blood, sucking blood, yea, sucking blood, sucking blood Like a bottle of filth, bottle of filth, bottle of filth, bottle of filth, filth, filth Bang bang, bang bang, Shot dead, shot you down, shot dead

She’s so easy on the eyes A vision of desire And it eats you up inside Takes you into her mind Make you kneel and come alive And it feels like the first time, again Soo hard to find, a love that won’t die When my love comes round When the shit goes down We gonna light up the town Tonight She’s light in the abyss She’s the fire in the mist She’s got blood red lips To suck you dry Soo hard to find, a love that won’t die When my love comes round When the shit goes down We gonna light up the town Tonight

Five To One 04:18
Five to one, baby One in five No one here gets out alive, now You get yours, baby I'll get mine Gonna make it, baby If we try The old get old And the young get stronger May take a week And it may take longer They got the guns Well, but we got the numbers Gonna win, yeah We're takin' over Come on! Your ballroom days are over, baby Night is drawing near Shadows of the evening Crawl across the years Yeah, walk across the floor with a Flower in your hand Trying to tell me no one understands Trade in your hours for a handful of dimes Gonna' make it, baby, in our prime Come together one more time Get together one more time Get together one more time Get together one more time Get together one more time Get together one more time Get together one more time Get together one more time Get together, gotta, get together Get together one more time

Slow Burn 04:44
One more look, One more time It might be love, it might be a crime One more look, never satisfies One more time, and I just might die Oh my love, what I’d do For just one long, look at you All my life, all I’ve missed Uh oh darling slow burn (right) to my heart If I could see Into your life Your perfect skin Your perfect eyes Oh my love, what I’d do For just one long, look at you All my life, all I’ve missed Uh oh darlin slow burn (right) to my heart Hell in my soul, heaven in her eyes Turn and turn and turn and turn Around and around and around and around Burn and I burn and I burn and I burn To the ground to the ground to the ground to the ground Uh oh darling wash me in the water… Uh oh baby who´s that you heard? O oh darling bathe me in the river… Oh oh honey slow burn right to my heart.
