"Well, as you're led out to the slaughter, you ought to think about your life."
"Before you're led off to the slaughter, you ought to think about your life."
"And just before you fade out, I will hold a place for you."
"Think about your life. You wouldn't give it up."
"Yeah, you've been living on the edge of a broken dream."
"Nothing. Yeah, that's the only thing you'll ever take away from me."
"I'm never gonna stop--I'm never gonna drop."
"You better stop and think twice, before you take your first step out that door."
"Suffering. Yeah, that's the only thing here that's left for you."
"Nothing. Yeah, that's the only thing you're ever gonna fuckin' do."
"We've all heard your misery. You've been bleeding it for days end."
"It's plain when I look into your eyes."
"I see all you want is everybody's sympathy."
"So why don't you take all of this and go away?"
"So why do you always look to me this way?"
"Pack up all your guilt and please, leave it all behind."
"When I look into your eyes, I see this could be the way you want your life to be."
"It seems like tomorrow might not come."
"It seems like the sorrow has left you numb."
"And when it's cold out, I will wait for her."
"This life--it's bringing on the death of me."
"Seems sometimes I can't believe that I'm the one to blame.
"And when it's cold out, in the sleet and snow, I will hold out."
"I swear that I can barely see--that I'm the one to blame."
"The emptiness is building from the nothingness that we've all become."
"This road that I've chosen has taken its toll."
"This thing I've become--seems it's taken control of my mind and my body, my will and my soul."
"I'm driving further and further away from myself until there's none of me left."
"I've become something else."
"Every day, always the same."
"I hear your name, and it cuts through me like a chainsaw."
"I fall back into that simple fool that you once knew."
"And just as soon as I let you back in, seems I'm reminded of all of this again."
"I can't believe that I let you walk all over me."
"I can't believe that you had such a hold on me.
"How much more will it take until I break?"
"Hell, it's fallen apart, and I don't think it worked right from the start."
"How much more will it take until I break and drive that stake right into that thing that you call your heart?"
"Promise that you always will keep candles lit on the windowsill."
"You know I never wanted to go away, but what am I supposed to say?"
"Who says all is fair in love in war?"
"I have your pictures kept close to my heart."
"Letters all but fall apart. Each night, I read them over again."
"No, I never wanted to go away, I swear."
"I can see it in your eyes, why you're here tonight."
"Looking for that something sacred you'll never find."
"So we can forget the fear you try to hide."
"So we can forget the pain you keep inside."
"So, you think that you got it all figured out?"
"I told you, you got no clue what it's all about."
"Now you wanna cling to the next big thing?"
"You want to be a part of the scene and ride the big machine?"
"Well, it ain't gonna work out that way."
"What? Who? Where were you when I was down on my luck?"
"You know you never gave a fuck. You just cast me aside."
"Where were you when I needed you? you know you never came through."
"And now you want to come along for the ride?"
"Like cigarettes and gasoline, I light a match and watch this scene burn away in front of me."
"All our shattered hopes and our long-dead dreams; the wreckage that we all try to keep from coming to life, and tearing us apart at the seams."
"Sun-bleached bones and withered trees slowly rotting, just like me."
"Empty bottles, broken glass--my resolve is fading, fast."
"Incarnation can bring down the stars five-thousand times, and their service is ours."
"Come with me, and we'll drink a toast to anarchy."
"All we need is excess and ecstasy."
"You want the world--I know the way."
"Just raise your fist, and let me hear you say hate--you want it."
"And though it's plain to see in our society, all of us will bleed; but your war is not with me."
"Come on and sell your soul--it's what you want to do."
"This could be the only way."
"Forget about judgement day--ignorance is bliss."
"The words you bleed and live through wither on the vine."
"Well, the bad times ain't so mean when she's sippin' gasoline."
"Tonight is what we make it."
"You give it up--I'll take it.
"Girl, be my heroin--now let the sin begin."
"She makes the hard times easy. She's my heroin."
"She's got her southern ways, dancin' on her northern views."
"She walks a fine line of east cost 'tude and west coast laid-back."
"She's ringin' Hells Bells from Seattle to Philly."
"Got an Indiana heart, with a Lone Star state of mind."
"Strapped in the Mercy Seat in Kansas City."
"She's out in Vegas, shaking sugar daddies in from L.A."
