Motorhead - Aftershock Album Lyrics

Heartbreaker

Careful where you stand now boy
Everything has changed
Got to search and destroy
Everything has changed
Got to move stop the dreams
All protection gone
Listen how the people scream
On and on and on

Time to get away from here
You won’t see me shed a tear
No Time to say goodbye

Danger in the dead of night
Takes away the strength to fight
All we know is black despair
Heartbreaker

You remember what you said
In the first attack
Stand your ground fight your best
Drop 'em in their tracks
Now the story changed again
Sing a different song
Listen how the shots ring out
On and on and on

Time to get away my dear
There’s no future for us here
Say a prayer and fly

Horror from the break of day
Make a strong man turn away
All we know is black despair
Heartbreaker

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

All the lights are dying now
See the shadows fall
Nearly all the people gone
Soon their rights 'n’ all
Running through the ruins
All directions wrong
Listen to the world scream out
On and on and on

Time to get us outta here
No emotion only fear
Say a last goodbye

Monsters at the edge of time
Waiting 'til we cross the line
All the find is black despair
Heartbreaker

Foul things reach out for blood
Never does a bit of good
All we find is black despair
Heartbreaker
Heartbreaker
Heartbreaker

Coup De Grace

Make it quick
The Coup de Grace
Makes you dead
Kills your ass
Gives you nightmares
Bad dreams
Panic in the dark
Don't you go there stay right here
Dinner with the sharks

Open up your mind
Life is so unkind
Shine a light on me
Tell me what the hell
I was sleeping like a baby
Trying to make me well
If you will not play the game
You will be cast out
No disgrace
Smiley face
Work it out

Make it quick
Run like hell
They will catch
You as well
Give you time
Years and year
Bars on all the doors
Don't you do it
Stick around
Random to the core

Don't believe a word
Don't run with the herd

I don't like the news
Watch it every week
Just because
I don't believe it
Don't make me a freak
If you knew the real stories
Can't be fooled no more
You can kiss
Or you can tell
Parasite or whore

Make your way
Seize the time
Your life is as fucked as mine
No one's going anywhere
Without a buck or two
Wait a second
Stay right there
I'll be back for you

Don't believe the lies
Truth will make you wise

Stay here in the room
Show me all your tricks
I know all the things you need
I will get you fixed
If you tell me dirty stories
I'll be on your side
Then we know just where to stand
Nationwide

Lost Woman Blues

I think I'm going crazy
Just about to lose my mind

I think I'm going crazy
Just about to lose my mind

You know my woman left me all alone
Enough to make a man go blind

I've got to shut the door behind me
Go out and buy some highway shoes

I've got to shut the door behind me
Go out and buy some highway shoes

'Cause I swear I'm sick and tired
Singing these Lost Woman Blues

Shake it up

Woke up this morning
All my life was broken down

Woke up this morning
All my life was broken down

And if I'm gonna find that woman
I'm gonna have to leave this town

Hey

Gonna bring her home

A bad situation
Ain't gonna bring me down

A bad disputation
Ain't gonna turn me around

I woke up with morning

All I could do is moan

One man use her
One man abused her
She took it out
She took it out
She took it all out on me

End Of Time

Standing at the window
Looking at the wall
Looking for a killer
No one there at all
Waiting for a hero
Still no one there
Maybe no more heroes
I don't fucking care
I know I got to live
I know I got to die

Half your life ain't truth babe
The other half is lies

Nobody knows
Where we crossed the line

Looking for an answer
At the end of time

Standing at the border
Looking for a ride
Waiting here forever
Dead men at my side

Way too many faces
Too many rules
No one trusts the other
Paranoid and cruel
Seen the world at peace
Seen the world at war

Politics, religion
Rotten to the core

Nobody saw
The holy concubine
Dancing with the devil
At the end of time

Standing by the ocean
Wishing I could swim
Wishing that the future
Didn't look so grim

All the greedy people
Know what's good to get
Never liked a liar
That's all we ever get

Know what you think
Know what you've seen
Half the world is psycho
The other half is mean

And silence rules
So we approve the crime
Scratching through the garbage
At the end of time

Do You Believe

Don't know what I did last night
But I sure did it good
Running wild
Out of sight
Lost in Hollywood
I believe in Rock'n'Roll
I believe in songs
Put your faith behind it
And you wont go far wrong
Good or bad I love the work
Don't make me wait
Dance with me, romance with me
Hell on roller skates
Rockin' like monsoon
Twisting like a typhoon
You know
Just what I need
Rock will turn you loose babe
Tell you the truth babe
Rock'n'Roll
Do you believe?

Good or bad I love my life
Don't make me wait
Dance with me, a chance with me
Hell on roller skates
Rockin' in the whole world
Rockin' every boy and girl
You know you're built for speed

Rockin' like you're insane
Rockin' like a hurricane
Rock'n'Roll
Do you believe?

Death Machine

Looking for an answer
And I'm looking for a clue
Looking for a chance to keep me sane

Looking for some peace of mind
Tell me what to do
Got to find a way to ease the pain

No one spoke
Ans silence ruled the world
And the the screams
Still today
I hear the pain we made
Death Machine

Looking for a man who used to be a friend of mine
Looking for someone to share the blame

Out there in the desert
I almost lost my mind
Got to find a way to shake the shame

Sky turned white
And all the world was blind
Nothing was seen
Then the lights and sounds came crashing down
Death Machine

Looking for somebody who pretends to give a damn
Trying to to see what I still see

Sky was red and all the world was blind
Or so it seemed
Science ruled
It never does no good
Death Machine
Death Machine

Dust And Glass

Time goes by
Days and years
Only you and I

Wasted days
Wasted nights
Hurt you by and by

Fall in love
Kill a man
No one left to cry

Dust and glass
Your life slides past
No one to tell you why

So it goes
Stranger still
Hard times dirt and lies

Born in pain
End in grief
Remember this and die

Going To Mexico

We saw the others crying in fear
We saw your mothers be of good cheer
Going to run
Away from the gun
Better be safe than be sorry my son

Fly - I don't count the miles going by
Know it's no lie

Give us the time
And we'll do the crime
Only one place to go

South of the border
Crossing the line
Going to Mexico

Running the miles
Pretty damn quick
Run through the wilds
Run until you're sick

Going to win
Sin after sin
Better be here
Than where we've all been

Go, like Lucifer's right at your heels
Roll like a wheel

Give us the time
And we'll do the crime
That much we all know

South of the border
Crossing the line
Going to Mexico

Looks like we made it
Made the frontier
Rio Grande wash away all of your fears

Ain't gonna fall
No sleep at all
Run for the river
Follow the call

Go, run like a wolf in the night
In the pale moonlight

Give us the time
And we'll do the crime
Only one place to go

South of the border
Like it just fine
Going to Mexico

Silence When You Speak To Me

There ain't no answers
For me in here
Tell me all of your childhood fears
I live on emotions
I eat your dreams
Nothing's ever what it seems

Remember, remember me
Remember, and disagree
Silence, silence

Truth all a children's game
Reality a bitter pill
We do not come to set you free
Silence, silence
Silence when you speak to me

You better believe me
Every word
Tell me secrets you might have heard
Ugly rumors are all we need
Tales of murder, guilt and greed

Remember, remember this
Remember treachery sealed with a loving kiss
Silence, silence

Truth is lies stand on me
Reality a fairy tale
We do not come to bend the knee
Silence, silence
Silence when you speak to me

We all are liar's every one
Sure as the moon, the stars and sun
We all are truthful on and the same
No one to answer, no one to blame

Remember, when you were mine
Remember, and walk the line
Silence, silence

Bite your tongue dance and burn
Reality a world of hurt
You may say no but not to me
Silence, silence

Dreams of lust hang your head
Reality a cruel joke
We will not buy what we can't see
Silence, silence
Silence when you speak to me

Crying Shame

Long time coming
Long time gone
Seen you coming
You've been gone too long

The only human in a one horse race
Try to get away without a trace
Stick it to them, stick it through them
Stick it out and you might still do 'em
Nice one mama come on down and see

Know your face, never knew your name
Never quite the same
It's a crying shame

Long way out, long way home
Walking past faces made of stone

Way I see it, get it while you can
Gotta be tough, a self made man

Stick it in 'em, stick it on 'em
Stick it fast you might have got 'em
Come on mama get down on your knees

Know your face, never knew your name
Never been the same
It's a crying shame
Never mind

On the line, on the line
Don't know about you but I feel fine

Looky here honey, I'm the one for you
Just a bit further, we'll make it through
Stick at nothing, keep on pushing
Stick to me your might get nothing
That's right mama, tell me what you see

Know your face, never knew your name
Never beat the game
It's a world of pain

Know your face, never knew your name
I never could explain
It's a crying shame
A crying shame

Queen Of The Damned

The one that you fear is so close
The woman tattooed with the rose
Claws that are sharp, she'll tear you apart
Make you into food for the crows
Revenge is her aim, she'll make you pay
She talks a mean game and she'll blow you away

Get out of town as soon as you can
You don't want to face the Queen Of The Damned

The one that you know oh so well
The woman to send you to hell
She's coming here now, coming and how
She'll make you wriggle and yell
Pay back is mean but you might be too

Like nothing you've seen here after you
Get out of town as soon as you can
Don't want to face the Queen Of The Damned

So what will you do now
You know the woman is waiting below
She's coming up here
Let's make it quite clear
I think you should shut up and go

Don't try to talk, she ain't in the mood
It looks like she outta be locking in a zoo

Get out of this place, take it on the lam
Don't want to face the Queen Of The Damned

Knife

Nothing for me here, life in the dust
The desert sings of bones
You can wait forever
No one will pass you by
The snake has eyes of stone

His mouth is death
He takes your life, he fears no knife
It bites him too

There's no place like hell
Life in the fire, a funeral pyre for you
You can scream and cry
Nobody cares
The dead do what, they do
Your fate is death
You take your life, you fear the knife
It bites you too

Brothers of the snake
Sisters of the flame
We're not the same as you

We know you well
We wait in hell
We burn with lust for you
Our touch is death
You taste our breath,
We fear the knife
We take your life

It bites us too
It bites us too

You take a life, you feel the knife
It bites us too
It bites us too

Keep Your Powder Dry

You must do what you desire
You must save your soul entire
You must figure out what works
And don't you be a liar
Can't be a liar

Do what your soul demands
Your future in your hands
Don't forget the left behind
The faces of the damned
The faces of the damned

Don't wait keep right on
But be aware
Don't take too long
The time just seems to fly
Just keep your powder dry
Keep your powder dry
Keep your powder dry

You must be brave and bold
You must be hard and cold
You must forget the rules
Before you're bought and sold
Before you're bought and sold

Do what you know is right?
No need to start a fight
No need to raise the ghosts
In the haunted night
In the haunted night

Don't move, hold your tongue
Don't take too long, don't get it wrong
Time has other first to fry
Just keep your powder dry
Keep your powder dry
Keep your powder dry

Right there

You know what's right and wrong
You should know what's going on
Just hold the line my friend
Keep holding on
Keep holding on

You really have no choice
You have to make a noise
Silence ain't an option now
We have to hear your voice
We got to hear your voice

Don't move brace yourself
There's no one else
There's no one else

No need to be so shy
Just keep your powder dry
Keep your powder dry
Keep your powder dry
Keep your powder dry

Paralyzed

Running through the jungle
Looking for a light
Running like a bastard baby
In the jungle night
Looking for a temple
Looking for the gold
Looking like a hero
When the story's told
Now we're lost
All hope gone
All my life
The same old song
Out of breath
Out of true
You'd be the same
If it was you

Win the prize, paralyzed

Flying over mountains
Flying over seas
Flying through a hurricane
Praying on your knees
Searching for a fortune
Searching for a clue
Flying in the face of death
Flying into view
Now we're lost
All hope fades
All my life
Under the blade
Out of booze
We sank a few
You'd o the same if it was you

Win the prize, paralyzed

Running through the jungle
Shadows at my side
Running like a maniac
I don't want to die
Looking for the answers
Looking for the place
Looking through the jungle
Gonna win the race
Out of time
We can't win
Tropic night is closing in
Mosquitoes dance
Sting you too
You'd be the same if it we're you

Win the prize, paralyzed
