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
