Wake up in the dead of night Your blood begins to boil A thought that dwells inside you like a snake inside its coil Stare into the mirror Strange eyes look at you You traded in your lifetime for an easy way or two You lived your life precisely By the rules of the dead Now you try to run my course but I'm a 1000 miles ahead You may find satisfaction When you're off the beaten track But living ain't so easy with a monkey on your back Fast and hard You've been running Bruised and scarred You had it coming All your life you've been told a lie Now you're running out of time You're running out of time Don't ask me for no guidance Cause I'd be the one to blame For what seems to be my cure May drive another one insane Yeah I'm a man of a different breed Descendent of the hound If you keep on walking my way You'll end up six feet underground Fast and hard You've been running Bruised and scarred You had it coming All your life you've been told a lie And now you're running out of Time and heart Bruised and scarred All your life you've been told a lie Now you're running out of time Now I can see it in your eyes The reptile longs for more But if you wanna play in my den leave your baggage at the door Your eyes they look like pictures Of a snow flake TV Why don't you leave it all behind And take a ride with me So come on and ride with me Come on and ride with me
