Hit the Black

Album: Hear in the Now Frontier (1997)

  • Hanging by a thread, problems in my head,
    Don't know what I said, living to be dead on the run.
    Corporation greed, television need,
    Overdose and bleed, pornograph obscene, I'm a liar.

    There's no brakes on me, as I'm running down the track.
    They'll be waiting for me, but I'm never coming back.

    I'm going down
    To a place where I can see all there is to see in me.

    Bullets in the gun, gonna have some fun,
    Think I'll take a ride to the other side, till I'm done.
    Hole is in the vein,
    Feel it numb the brain, take away the pain,
    Never be the same till I die.

    There's no brakes on me, as I come around the track.
    There's no gauge to read,
    Peg the needle as I hit the black.

    I'm going down
    To a place where I can see all there is to see in me.

    Population freeze,
    Modern day disease,
    Brings us to our knees, see them stand in line for a cure.
    Profit in the wind,
    Pushing back the time that we wait in line,
    Pushing back the time, it's a sin.

    There's no brakes on me, as I'm running down the track.
    They'll be waiting for me, but I'm never coming back.

    I'm going down. Publisher: TRI-RYCHE CORPORATION DBA QUEENSRYCHE PUBLISHING COMPANY
