On a long and lonesome highway
East of Omaha
You can listen to the engines moaning out
As one note song
You think about the woman or the girl you knew the night before

But your thoughts will soon be wandering
The way they always do
When you're riding sixteen hours and there's
Nothing much to do
And you don't feel much like riding
You just wish the trip was through

Here I am
On the road again There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playing star again
There I go
Turn the page

So you walk into this restaurant
Strung out from the road
And you feel the eyes upon you
As you're shaking off the cold
You pretend it doesn't bother you
But you just want to explode

Yeah, most times you can't hear 'em talk
Other times you can
All the same old clichés
"Is it woman? Is it man?"
And you always seem outnumbered
You don't dare make a stand
Make your stand

Here I am
On the road again There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playing star again
There I go
Turn the page

Oo-ooh, out there in the spotlight
You're a million miles away
Every ounce of energy
You try to give away
As the sweat pours out your body
Like the music that you play
Yeah

Later in the evening
You lie awake in bed
With the echoes of the amplifiers
Ringing in your head
You smoke the day's last cigarette
Remembering what she said
What she said

He-ey

Yeah
And here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on a stage
Here I go
Playing star again
There I go
Turn the page
There I go
Turn that page
There I go
yeah, yeah
There I go
yeah, yeah
There I go
Yeah
There I go
Yeah
There I go
Oo-oo-ooh
There I go
And I'm gone

Long gone

Until It Sleeps

Where do I take this pain of mine
I run, but it stays right by my side
So tear me open, pour me out
There's things inside that scream and shout
And the pain still hates me
So hold me, until it sleeps

Just like the curse
Just like the stray
You feed it once
And now it stays

So tear me open, but beware
There's things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me, until I'm clean

It grips you, so hold me
It stains you, so hold me
It hates you, so hold me
It holds you, so hold me

Until it sleeps ...

So tell me why you've chosen me
Don't want you grip
Don't want your greed

I'll tear me open, make you gone
No more can you hurt anyone
And the fear still shakes me
So hold me, until it sleeps

It grips you, so hold me
It stains you, so hold me
It hates you, so hold me
It holds you, so hold me

Until it sleeps ...

I don't want it

So tear me open, but beware
The there's things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me, 'till I'm clean...

I'll tear me open, make you gone
No longer will you hurt anyone
And the fear still shapes me
So hold me, until it sleeps...

Until it sleeps...

Enter Sandman

Say your prayers little one
Don't forget, my son
To include everyone

Tuck you in, warm within
Keep you free from sin
Till the sandman he comes

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
Off to never never land

Something's wrong
Shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of snow white

Dreams of war
Dreams of liars
Dreams of dragon's fire
And of things that will bite

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
Off to never never land

Now I lay me down to sleep (now I lay me down to sleep)
Pray the lord my soul to keep (pray the lord my sould to keep)
If I die before I wake (if I die before I wake)
Pray the lord my soul to take (pray the lord my soul to take)

Hush little baby
Don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beast under your bed
In your closet
In your head

Exit light
Enter night
Grain of sand

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never never land

The Unforgiven

New blood joins this earth
And quickly he's subdued
Through constant pain disgrace
The young boy learns their rules

With time the child draws in
This whipping boy done wrong
Deprived of all his thoughts
The young man struggles on and on he's known
A vow unto his own
That never from this day
His will they'll take away

What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been

What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven

They dedicate their lives
To running all of his
He tries to please them all
This bitter man he is
Throughout his life the same
He's battled constantly
This fight he cannot win
A tired man they see no longer cares
The old man then prepares
To die regretfully
That old man here is me

what I've felt What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been

What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven

You labeled me
I'll label you
So I dub thee unforgiven

Fuel

Gimme fuel
Gimme fire
Gimme that which I desire
Oh

Yeah
Turn on, I see red
Adrenaline crash and crack my head
Nitro junkie, paint me dead
And I see red

Running across through black and white
War horse
War head White knuckle tight
Through black and white

Oh, I burn
Fuel is pumping engines
Burning hard
Loose and clean

Oh, and I burn
Turning my direction
Quench my thirst with gasoline

So gimme fuel
Gimme fire
Gimme that which I desire

Hey

Turn on beyond the bone
Swallow future, spit out hope
Burn your face upon the chrome

Yeah, oh yeah

Take the corner
Going to crash
Headlights
Headlines
Another junkie who lives too fast

Yeah
Lives way too fast, fast, fast, fast, fast, fast
Oh

Oh, I burn
Fuel is pumping engines
Burning hard
Loose and clean

Oh, and I burn
Turning my direction
Quench my thirst with gasoline
So gimme fuel
Gimme fire
Gimme that which I desire
Oh yeah

Oh
Gimme fuel
Gimme fire
My desire

Oh, I burn
Fuel is pumping engines
Burning hard
Loose and clean

And I burn
Turning my direction
Quench my thirst with gasoline

Gimme fuel
Gimme fire
Gimme that which I desire
Oh

Oh, and I burn

The Memory Remains

Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
But the memory remains

Heavy rings on fingers wave
Another star denies the grave
See the nowhere crowd
Cry the nowhere cheers of honor

Like twisted vines that grow
Hide and swallow mansions whole
And dim the light of an already
Faded prima donna

Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
But the memory remains

Heavy rings hold cigarettes
Up to lips that time forgets
While the Hollywood sun sets
Behind your back

And can't the band play on
Just listen, they play my song
Ash to ash
Dust to dust
Fade to black

Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
Dance little tin goddess

Drift away
Fade away
Little tin goddess
Ash to ash
Dust to dust
Fade to black

Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
Fortune, fame
Gone insane
But the memory remains

Ash to ash
Dust to dust
Fade to black
But the memory remains

Dance little tin goddess dance

The Unforgiven II

Lay beside me
Tell me what they've done
And speak the words I wanna hear
To make my demons run
The door is locked now
But it's open if you're true
If you can understand the me
Then I can understand the you

Lay beside me
Under wicked sky
Back of day
Dark of night
We share this paradise
The door cracks open
But there's no sun shining through
Black heart scarring darker still
But there's no sun shining through
No there's no sun shining through
No there's no sun shining

What I've feared
What I've known
Turn the pages
Turn the stone
Behind the door
Should I open it for you

Yeah!
What I've feared
What I've known
Sick & tired of staying alone
Could you be there
Cause I'm the one who waits for you
Or are you unforgiven too

Come lay beside me
This won't hurt I swear
She loves me not
She loves me still
But she'll never love again
She lay beside me
But she'll be there when I'm gone
Black heart scarring darker still
Yes she'll be there when I'm gone
Yes she'll be there when I'm gone
Dead sure she'll be there

What I've feared
What I've known
Turn the pages
Turn the stone
Behind the door
Should I open it for you

Yeah!
What I've feared
What I've known
Sick & tired of staying alone
Could you be there
Cause I'm the one who waits for you
Or are you unforgiven too

Lay beside me
Tell me what I've done
The door is closer on your eyes
But now I see the sun
Now I see the sun
Yes now I see it

What I've feared
What I've known
Turn the pages
Turn the stone
Behind the door
Should I open it for you

Yeah

What I've feared
What I've known
So sick & tired of staying alone
Could you be there
Cause I'm the one who waits
The one who waits for you

What I've feared
What I've known
Turn the pages
Turn the stone
Behind the door
Should I open it for you

What I've feared
What I've known
I take this key and I bury it in you
Because you're unforgiven too

Cause you're unforgiven too

Whoohhh
