lyrics

Inside my head
Outside the night
Confessing feelings of fright

There's no direction
Just a joyride
There's no place in mind

I watched it crumble
I watched it die
I felt so jaded
I felt alive
Watching it tumble

Down! in an endless hole
Down! in a smoking bowl
No pardon or parole

This night is glittered and still
As death and decay
On the side of the road

Inside my head
Outside the night
Crave sensation ...delight

There's no direction
No place in mind
Redress your longings for time

I watched it crumble
I watched it die
I felt so jaded
I felt alive
Watching it tumble

Down in an endless hole
Down in a smoking bowl
No pardon or parole

We passed the hours
Passing through the jaded canyons
Where the loose stones tumble
In their tribulation dance of the years.
