You wake up with a start and shout
You're choking, you feel so down
You go to the window and see
Zombies walkin' up the street
Some are black
Some are white
Lifeless look and sickly style
They suck your blood, eat your brain
You know they smile when they bite your veins
You're livin' in a dead city
Burnin' out Dead city
Burnin' out
They don't know but they're all dead
They try to break up your head
They kill every rebel mind
Die inside if you wanna survive
They all fight led by
Someone hiding behind a lie
Unaware slaves in chains
When they kill they just feel no pain
You're livin' in a dead city
Burnin' out
Dead city
Burnin' out
They wait up for the night
Searching for a prey
And when darkness breaks
Well they rend you, they tear you down
Il sole stava tramontando
Il vento stava calando
Un'improvvisa ondata di silenzio ha spezzato ogni rumore
Ti sei seduto per un attimo
Hai guardato il cielo
Hai visto un uragano pazzo nascere dal nulla
Alberi spezzati come per gioco
Palazzi ridotti in polvere
Tutto raso al suolo, niente ha resistito, tutto è crollato
Ti sei sentito come un bambino
Confuso, perso nella paura
Non riuscivi a capire, semplicemente restavi immobile e ti chiedevi perché
Travolto da un colpo terribile
Eri a terra stordito
Pregando che arrivasse qualcuno e ti svegliasse da quell'incubo
Ma ognuno
Doveva pensare ai suoi guai e tu
Dovevi cavartela da solo per salvare la pelle e trovare una via di scampo
Hai trovato riparo in una nuvola
Tentando di scappare dalla folla
Tutto solo, senza una casa e nessuna speranza nel tempo
Alla fine il cielo si è rischiarato, la tua faccia era nella polvere
Avevi addosso un grande disagio, l'uragano stava infuriando dentro di te
The sun was fadin' out
The wind was fallin' down
A sudden wave of silence breakin' all the noise around
You sat down for a while
You looked up to the sky
You saw a crazy hurricane comin' up from nothing
Trees cut down like a joke
Buildings turned into smoke
Everything razed to the ground, nothing standing, it all went down Well you
felt like a child
Confused, lost in a fright
You couldn't understand, just keeping still and wonderin' why
Hit by a staggerin' blow
You were dazed lying low
Just prayin' for someone to come and wake you from that nightmare But everyone
had to
mind his own troubles, you
just had to get down to it, to save your skin, just to find a way out You
took shelter in a cloud
Tryin' to escape the crowd
All alone, without a home and no trust in the weather
At last the sky cleared up
Your face was in the dust
You were in a bad mood, the hurricane was blowin' inside you
Well, I was singin' a song and I was ridin'
alone
You know they were chasin' me
I was dreamin' of you, I had nothin' to lose
The border was not far at all
I was a boy hangin' round, he treated me like a son
They shot him just like a dog
Killers down to the bone, in the name of the law
Makin' havoc of us all. I took my guns, I made for my bad way
I swore I'd get my revenge for that shame
The war broke out very strong,
like the boom of a bomb
We lost but we could escape
I was crying like a fool, I was riding to you
I was a bandit, alright
They called me Billy the Kid, they put a high price on me
Hey guys "dead or alive"
But poor men were on my side, I had places to hide
Comin' to you for a while. I took my guns, I made for my bad way
I swore I'd get my revenge for that shame
I kissed you and I woke up that night
I went for a walk, he was by, he knew my voice in the dark
He shot me while I was blind, I was too young to die
Baby don't leave me tonight
I was walkin' alone, singing a song
I saw a blaze in the dark
I was thinking of you, feeling so cool
Baby, I was too young to die
"I wasn't born to die"
Red, black and blue on the wall
One barfly poet was walkin' down the road
"I'd trade a taste of wisdom for the cheapest glass of wine"
Easy Joe was proud of his ramblin' vagrant life
One day he fell asleep beneath a weeping willow tree
When he woke up he saw a young man reelin', cryin'
"Please help me"
Had a knife stuck into his chest, blood was flowin' out
Easy Joe held up his head while the young eyes closed up
And the night was a dark knight riding a black horse
Cuttin' off the moon, blowin' out the stars
The killer was a dandy and you know his dad was rich
They spread money over the city, everyone is a bitch
They bought so many eyes, even the blind were ready to swear
The stabber was a ramblin' man, dirty like a bear
Well, they bring you up stuffing your head with a bunch of lies justice is
not dead, it's never been alive
Easy Joe looked at the sun behind rusted iron bars
The dandy darted near the jail in his shiny car
Everyone tried to forget
and then justify that shame
while the ghost of indifference was draggin' his chains
Well, they bring you up stuffing your head
with a bunch of lies justice is not dead,
it's never been alive
You can fight wicked lies
There's a wall in your mind
Break it down! Do it!
Break it down! Do it!
I was tryin' to get sane
I was bound to be insane
Break it down! Do it!
Break it down! Do it!
They decide what you like
Rebel now, wake up time
Break it down! Do it!
Break it down! Do it!
Leave me out, I need a break
Something is draggin' me away
I hate this town and you're so vain
So baby please forget my name
I can't stand your life style, your mean games, your fake smile
Your nasty world, so far away from me
Take your god, take your pride
Take your money and your funny disguise
Take what you want and sail away tonight
I'll be searching for my old friend
He's just living in another land
Well, my suitcase is in my hand
'Cause now freedom is my only plan
I've been so down, I've been wastin' time
For something that I just don't care
Up in a cloud, I'll stow away
You'll never see me 'round again
I can't stand your white lies, you never stop and wonder why
You do what you do and say what you say
Take your luck, take your spies
Take your heaven, go and see the light
Take what you want and sail away tonight
I'll be searching for my old friend
He's just living in another land
Well, my suitcase is in my hand
'Cause now freedom is my only plan
I can't stand preacher kind, tryin' to drive everybody's mind
I like my sins, I like to be insane
Take your faith, take your ties, keep 'em safe and just say goodbye
Forget my name, I am so far away
I was drivin' alone movin' out
in the deep of the night
No destination, just lost in the jam
of my dark twisted mind
I was miles away from my old duty, from my pain
I was runnin' blind, just tryin' to find a better way
I was chasin' away my blame a price
I could never pay They say
I wasted my life, what a shame But
I'm the one who can say I left a life
I hated and I was searching a new land
I chose the hardest way but it was the day to make a stand
I got away from haze, light was on the way
I took my guitar and then
I set up a rock'n'roll band
I didn't know where to go that night
My heart was beatin' so fast
A change was comin',
I was wakin' up
And I was ready, at last
Makin' for nowhere, it was a dare I just could play
I paid the cost of freedom,
I had my reason to be insane
I got away from haze
I had a flag to wave
I took my guitar and then
I set up a rock'n'roll band
I was in trouble, man
I needed a magic dance
I took my guitar and then
I set up a rock'n'roll band
Mary's out hitch-hiking tonight
She left home and she's running high
See her walkin' down the street
Lookin' for a way to leave
They can't find the reason why
She can kill you with a smile
There's a fire inside her mind
And tonight something that I can't find
Mary's goin' away from the crowd
She's a stranger hangin' around
She's the queen of drop-out street
And you know she feels so free
Mary takes you by the hand
Like a vision takes your head
There's a fire inside her mind
And tonight something that I can't find
Mary's eyes are blowing 'em down
She's a fairy down to the ground
She's a witch you can't escape
She's a hunter, she's a prey
Mary takes you by the hand
Like a vision takes your head
There's a fire inside her mind
And tonight something that I can't find
![]()
I can fly
I can hover in the sky
Feelin' wild like an eagle dancing high
I can't stop now baby,
I don't wanna go back to the ground
I like to be out of my head
I'm crossing the line
Once a guy gave me wings and force to climb
He was blind, but he looked into my eyes
He said "Look out baby, they will try to bring you down"
But Iím breakin' out of my head
I'm crossing the line
When I reach up the sun I think of you darling
Iím an angel flying wild. Yeah
I cry for the moon here by my side
I will ride all the stars shining bright
Only fools now baby
Are walkin' with heads down, down, down lookin' to the ground
So come on up and look at the sky
Sto scappando, lontano dalla città
E' meglio che me ne vada da quell'inferno
Loro stanno venendo qui, loro non hanno pietà
Ho un'occasione per andarmene e non posso sprecarla
Ho solo una via di fuga
Lo sai, mi piace giocare col fuoco
Non mi inchino mai davanti a nessuno
Mi sono sbronzato, mi sono divertito
Quando mi sono svegliato, qualcuno ha detto "hey, sei un uomo morto" E adesso
sono in fuga
Oltre la notte, fuori dalla città
Oltre il confine seminerò quella banda
E poi farò un casino di nuovo
Quando ero giovane, la vita non era facile
Sono cresciuto in fretta, ho imparato il gioco
Tante volte ho combattuto per niente
Sono un balordo fuori per strada
Beh, me la cavo
Sì posso cavarmela
Oltre la notte, fuori dalla città
Oltre il confine seminerò quella banda
E poi farò un casino di nuovo
Oltre la notte
Fuori dalla città
Sono vivo
I'm gettin' out far from the city
I'd better go away from that burnin' hell
They're comin' here, they have no pity
I got a chance to get away and I can't waste it
I got just one way out. You know
I like to play with fire, I never bow down to anyone
I went on the booze, I had a good time
When I woke up, somebody said "Hey, you're a dead man"
And I'm a runaway now
Over the night, out of the city
Over the line, I'll shake off that gang
And I'll make a mess again
When I was young life wasn't easy
I grew up fast, I learned how to play the game
So many times fightin' for nothing
I'm a bad guy just out in the street
Well I can face it
Yeah I can face it out
Over the night, out of the city
Over the line, I'll shake off that gang
And I'll make a mess again
Over the night
Out of the city
I'm alive
Sono evaso
Da quella prigione, la notte scorsa
Ho ammazzato il secondino
Ho demolito il muro e adesso mi sento bene
Ho un'arma, ho anche dei proiettili
Io e il mio compare ruberemo una macchina
Sotto la luce della luna è un gioco mortale
Lo so, non c'è via di scampo. Se mi prendono questa volta
Prima che attraversi confine, mi faranno saltare le cervella
Fuga folle, dicono che sanno dove trovarmi
Meglio morto che in prigione di nuovo
Non metterti sulla mia strada. Il mio amore è in Messico
Se riuscirò ad arrivare là, sarò al sicuro, amato e libero
Nessun errore. Sono solo un capro espiatorio
Mi hanno dichiarato colpevole, gettato in gabbia
E hanno fatto impazzire la mia vita
Ma il diavolo è dalla mia parte
Andrò all'inferno sputando fuoco
Brucerò ogni santo con una bibbia in mano
Che tenti di indicarmi la strada Il mio amore è in Messico. Se riuscirò
ad arrivare là, sarò al sicuro, amato e libero
I broke away
From that jail last night
I killed the jailer
Wiped out the wall and now
I feel alright
Man I got a gun, I got bullets too
Me and my bud will steal a car
By the light of the moon
Deadly game
I know there's no way out If they catch me this time Before I cross the line,
they'll blow my brains out
Crazy getaway
They got my number they say
Better off dead than in prison again
Don't stand in my way
My love's in Mexico
If I get there I know
I'll be safe, loved and free
No mistake I'm just a scapegoat, man
They found me guilty, flung in a cage
And made my life insane
But devil's on my side
I'll go to hell spitting fire
I'll burn down every saint with a bible in his hand
Showing me the way
Stavo guidando alla fine del giorno
Il cielo rosso scuro, ombra rubino sulla via
Vidi la strada nascondersi nella sabbia
E nel deserto i colori mutare
Ero perso, la mia tristezza svaniva
Stavo vagando senza meta, ma non invano
Il sole tramontò salutando la luna
Vidi una ragazza apparire all'improvviso
Rallentai, lei mi fece cenno di continuare
Volò vicino a me mentre proseguivo
Disse: "So quello che stai tentando di trovare
Continua a cercare e non morirai mai"
I was drivin' at the end of the day
Dark red sky, ruby shade on the way
I saw the road hiding in the sand
Colours changin' in the desert land
I was lost, my blues faded away
I was driftin', baby, not in vain
Sun went down sayin' goodbye to the moon
I saw a girl comin' out of the blue
I slowed down, she nodded to go on
She flew by me, while
I was running on
She said: "I know what you're tryin' to find
Keep on searchin' and you'll never die"
