I am the story that they'll tell!,
Made of pain!,
Spit out of Hell!, -
On my way!,
Thought you already knew?!,
Yeah, who I am?!,
I might be you?!, ---

-"Well, maybe not?!",
"Because you seem to feel things!" ---

(puh, puh, puh, puh, puh,)
Pushing on!
Wearing that smile?!,
It's you or me, babe?!,
Let's see who walks out of here alive?!, -
To be alive!,
What thrill is that?!,
Yeah, who to live for?!,
Is that a fact?!, ---

-"Well, maybe not?!",
"Because you seem to love things!" ---

(woo, woo, woo, woo, woo,)
Willing to survive!,
On these cold, hard streets!,
People step to the side!,
When they see you or me!, -
And the story that they'll tell!,
And about me they'll say?!,
As poor Hell got lonely!,
And wanted me back to play!, ---

-"Well, maybe not?!",
"Because you seem to need things?!",

Like, I'm the God of the Damned!,
Lord of the Beast!,
Will there ever, ever be another woman to come along?!,
To tame me?!, -
Self-destruct, I can't tell?!,
At this Heavy Metal speed!,
Maybe? Maybe, she'll come my way?!,
To slow down me?!, --

And love,
Seems so long ago, far away,
Seek but ye cannot find,
In thought, her smile begins to fade, ---

Like, I'm the crazy thought in your head!,
The nightmare in your dreams!,
Should I feel, feel anything?!,
Or is this just me?! -
Self-discipline, I know well!,
Dressed in goth, blood stained, military green!,
I need, I need a woman!,
To soothe me! ---

And love,
Ahead, now, gone,
Always watching you,
Especially when you are all alone, -

Like, I'm the shooting star!,
(ha) Today's rising son!,
Would you? Would you keep this to yourself?!,
Or tell everyone?!, -
Self-hate? Been there!,
Easy, but that's no fun!?,
I see, I see her in the crowd?!,
Is she the one?!,

And love,
Always the sun shines, no rain,
Her smiles set your sails adrift,
The end of the pain,

And for this presentation!,
For all this mad frustration!,
For this price - kindly be seated in this room!, -
And the good for nothing!,
That all made us something!,
Only to march to a different tune!, ---

-- And being alone,
It's not all that bad?,
Sometimes being sad,
Sometimes glad, ---

And for the servants that are serving you wine!,
All dressed in white!,
Wearing crooked smiles!,
Perhaps its medication time - again?!, -
Always want!,
But never need!,
Fall hard!,
But land on your feet!,
Only to march to a different tune! ---

-- And being alone,
May I speak bold?,
Rarely warm,
Mostly cold, --

Perhaps I'm speaking way to soon?!,
As you're not really so alone here!,
In this room?!,
Maybe love is not that far away?!, -
But who am I to even tell?!.
To tell such madness?!,
Unless you've been to Hell?!,
So many times we've all been there!, ---

--And being alone,
Motionless, but we knew?,
And the game remains the same,
Only to march - to a different tune, ----------------

-- The sound of mystery, -
My guitar tuned itself and sent it's music!,
To the bottom of the sea!, -
--And what a mystery?, -
Yeah, yeah, --

--The sight of mystery, -
My ship and the crew now drift south!,
To the bottom of the sea!, -
-- And what a mystery?, -
No albatross can been seen!, --

--The feel of mystery, -
My arms turn to fins as I dive down deep!,
To the bottom of the sea!, -
--And what a mystery?, -
All things, they await, to meet me!, --

What a mystery? - Only in a mindless dream?, --

--The taste of mystery, -
Man, I see the virgin sun swing low!,
To the bottom of the sea!, -
--And what a mystery?, -
It's where no one else has ever been!, --

--The smell of mystery, -
Mermaids gather round, inviting, wanting me to be with them!, -
To the bottom of the sea!, -
--And what a mystery?, --

--The feel of mystery, -
You can find me has you stand there in the sand shallow at the waves, I'm pulling you in!, -
To the bottom of the sea!, -
--And what a mystery?, --
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Funky went his own mind!,
Freaky was because - of this - very kind!, -
As they set sail,
Into their own troubled seas, -
Lost all reason to embrace,
They gave up this - madcap - the human race,
And set their worn, torn sails,
Deep - into space, --

Farther out, deeper in,
Freaky made many,
Funky lost many friends, -
Until Funky told Freaky,
"I think it's time to go!, -
Freaky said, "At least do one or five?!",
"Look at this desolate place!",
"We've brought it back alive!", -
And just imagine how the story goes?!, --

Sad sang the saddest tunes,
And then one day Sad met Blue,
And was there love?,
Maybe something we always knew?,
But refused to know?!, -
They grew closer,
Like a setting sun,
As they set their worn, torn, dreamers sails,
Deep into bygones, be-gone! --

Blue said to Sad, "You seem so depressed?!",
"You bring magic in so many ways!",
"Wait?!", - "What is this?!", -
Sad took a step back,
Only to compromise,
Has the sadness of Sad,
Gazed into Blue's eyes, -
"I must sail alone!?",
"Perhaps better off - if we - go on our own?!",
And just imagine how the story goes?, --

"Getting close to four?!",
"Well, we can thrive!",
The barkeep said, "Open the doors!",
Then - rolled in and up! - Hip and Jive!, -
Capable of doing about anything!,
They sat back - with remains - of this!?, -
Present, future, and to become the past,
As they set their worn, torn, better times sails,
Deep into knowing this may be the last?!, --

Jive said to Hip, "Life is looking swell!",
"Just look around!?",
"All of us are here!", -
"Yeah", Hip replied,
"I can tell!",
"Funky and Freaky - Sad and Blue - seem to be doing quite well!?", -
Life really never changes,
We must move on to show,
Sad wings of destiny,
And just imagine how the story goes?!, ----------------

Waiting for the sunshine,
Someday it came but didn't shine,
Is it just you?,
Are you losing your mind?, -
You carelessly wonder,
In an abyss being the last climb,
What matters now?,
Make it the last time?, --

A townhouse in town,
The middle of the city of dead,
Life moves on,
As if you are not there, -
You go outside,
They cower,
They hide and they're scared, -
Perhaps they should be?, --

Fearless,
Maybe the scars you bear?,
Fearless,
Maybe the long hair?, --

You go out to eat,
They serve you right away,
Although others were there before you,
They still have to wait, -
You're a kind hearted man,
But not everyday,
Suppose they may know that?,
From the games that you play?, --

Waiting for the moon,
Someday it came but hid behind the clouds,
Is it just you?,
Are you feeling that down?, -
You ignore weather, pain, food,
Closest to the best they would call,
The best way to feel,
Is to feel nothing at all, --

Fearless,
Maybe your dream was born?
Fearless,
Maybe now all is gone?

Fear lies low,
As Love sighs upon us, as we gaze from atop the deep cliff,
"The water doesn't look that shallow",
For Darkness gave us wings as we soar for the sweet taste,
Inviting us down below,-
Such a sad thought condemned us to dream,
Punishing us to carry on,
Only left to ponder and dwell,
And to tell such a tale,--

Mischief Rules!,
Until one day Mischief met Compassion,
Yet, hard to understand each other,
Love stepped in, and decided to show the way,-
"What is now, here we both must understand",
"You're the ground that stays put",
I'm the sun, begins, shines, then starts to fade!".--

Love cries,
Watching the army led by Sorrow,
Face to face to meet Happiness,
On a once tropical, now wasted desert ground,-
Fear swept high,
Without knowing the knowledge that is kept secretly by Tomorrow,
Tomorrow steps to the side,
While it all goes down,--

During the battle of wits to win the war of emotions,
Sorrow and Happiness met at the war table,
"For the total of what we've lost",
"We must unite, and learn to rebuild again",-
Today said, "I think I know the answer?"
"What Yesterday lost, I know now!"-
"Tomorrow only keeps it a secret, leaving it up to you to decide",
"Is this a new beginning; or, will this be the end?"--

Life watches this through its mind's eye,
As the coldness of night falls upon us,
And we all know that the night is a gift from Darkness and Fear who walk hand and hand,
Only the reflection of the moon guides us by light,-
And just to glide quietly by shadow,
The orb quickly creeps away,
Of what Yesterday learned then, was given Today, yet still, kept a secret by Tomorrow,
And Love just smiled,--

Easy living,
Is this what it takes?, ( ex.1- da de da doo)
Play it by ear?,
You wake and you bake!,
ooh, (x4) - Easy living, -
The party begins,
When you arrive!
You wonder if it's the right place?,
While you - are greeted with smiles!,
Easy living, --

You jump on a Harley,
Cuts circles in the grass, (ex.2 cha che cha cha cha)
The neighbors call the cops,
Then ask for your autograph!,
ooh (x4) - Easy living, --
People pay you!,
To play on the stage!,
But even you don't,
They love you anyways!,
Easy living, --

Easy living,
Is that what it took?, (ex.3 de da dow ba da ba da bom bom boom)
To play that six string thing?,
To have the looks?,
ooh (x4) Easy living, -
And you have it all!,
Where else can you go?
If you are (reading, hearing) this,
(de da doo, chada chada chada ching ba da boom)
Let me know?!
Easy living ------

Are you willing to answer questions about erotic thoughts?
Are you willing to make love even if I forget about your very name during doing so?
Are you willing to speak even if no one listens to your sadness or downfalls?
Are you willing to think twice even if it only takes one time?
Are you willing to paint a picture without any paint or canvas?
Are you willing to get higher than you've ever been without any kind of drugs?
Are you willing to laugh at someone's funeral pyre?
Are you willing to take the last drink even if you've had enough?
Are you willing to die for me?
Are you willing to take candy away from a baby?
Or are you just willing?

Rise all those who meet the description of desire,
Speak whose hearts are made of fire,
Dwell low who are liars,
Sing high, banned from the church choir,--
Of what was lost,
And, what is to become,
Those who have many,
And, the lonely hearts,
Who have chosen to be alone,--
Those who carry pleasure on a merry-go-round,
Step forward, those who wear a golden crown,
Faces of those who show happiness,
Behind a mask made of frowns,
Those who succeed up,
Leaving those who ever put you down,--
Learn the only value of life is death,
Between those who accept and those who deny,
Scream those in love,
Whisper love to those who said goodbye,
All of this within the wink of an eye,
Seeking the warmth of the day,
Cold fear, of what lurks in the night,--
Those who wonder to be,
And, those in some places are blind,
Still remaining able to see,
But, have lost a piece of mind.

A game of death - Hey, I am good for!,
Just tell me where to play?,
Well, I finally got my invite!,
On a cold winter day, -
In my mind demons were warring,
Has my Angel, she started to lose feathers from her wings,
Begging me to hold on!,
"This is not ah, The DiggableHippy's thing!" --

So, I sold my soul that night,
Just so, I could go ahead and die,
The deal was fairly simple,
I won't have to live another life, -
The figures in the shadows,
I saw, one of them smile!,
I could hear the wind outside my head,
Blowing a thousand miles! --

Game of death (x2)

I looked down at my body,
After a convulsive rage,
I saw a light outside my door,
That slammed in my face!, -
At this point nothing happened,
Just felt a little cold,
Until I suddenly realized,
My soul had turn to stone!, --

My Angel that warned me,
Was looking into my eyes,
She said, "I can simply free you!",
"But you know there is a price?!", -
"A Game of Death you wanted",
"Your soul is up for grabs!",
"If you want your freedom?",
"Serve me a fallen Angels head!?", --

Game of death (x2)

I found myself alone,
Walking a crooked path,
A shadow flew above me!,
Then I heard a wicked laugh!, -
Shades of light grew darker,
Until I could barely see!,
But I knew if it could make a sound....,
It could surely bleed, --

The shadow withdrew it's sword,
That slashed into my head!,
But that cut was into a side of me,
That has long been dead!, -
Well, I picked up the shadow's blade,
Before it could be retrieved!,
I struck one hard blow!,
That brought it to it's knees!, --

Game of death (x2)

From the darkness before me,
I was blinded from the light,
Just to see a burning Angel,
Dancing with delight!, -
"Which one was your enemy?",
"You just couldn't tell?",
"And with the head of the Angel losing her wings from above!",
"You have a special place in Hell! lol" , --

Before I could say anything!,
Electric shock brought me back to life,
From the f*cking rescue team,
That responded from my ex-wife, -
In pain, here I go again!,
Never shall I rest!,
Has I wait patiently,
For another Game Of Death!, --

Game of death (x2)

Tomorrow sends me to a stony ground,
Stoned today, but my voice echoes with sound,
Only to be recalled,
And you remember who I am, -
Love hates to tell you, -
Mr. Morrison said the West is the best,
He saw something like no one else,
From my many trips,
I know what he meant, -
Love hates to tell you, --

Long ago,
Life shattered, but we move on,
Being only a man,
Wine, women, and song, -
The writer's right!
But what have we won?
The dreamer's dream?
As we watch another fading sun, -

Today, another day, flying first class,
Placed in a limo
Fed high grade grass,
How much longer is this going to last? -
Love hates to tell you, -
Mr. Hendrix said the story of love is quicker than the wink of an eye,
So right,
But you refused to ask why?
Now, no time to compromise, -
Love hates to tell you, --

Long ago, no -
Let there be you and I,
Every day is worthy,
Yesterday, a cloud that has only passed us by, -
The writer right!
And we have won!
We make dreamers dream!
As we watch the fading sun!
