I don’t care ‘bout the words that you say I’m not listening All the while I’ve been adding it up And its worse than I pretend Truth be told, that for once in my life I’m not bought and sold So out with the old, and in with the older I’m getting tired of looking over my shoulder I did it my own way. I’m getting what I want! This time Well… I did it my own way I’m gettin’ what I want! We all serve some-one, but not My conscience Released from contract, I walked right out that door. Shut it behind, never to bleed for them again, And I say NEVER. To bleed for them again. Because Its not mine to give F-Gb-Bb I did it my own way. I’m getting what I want! This time Well… I did it my own way I did it my own way I’m getting what I want! I don’t like getting yelled at, do you? Won’t play the blame game, you too? So I show, and upended finger And walked right out that door (Eb-D-F) I did it my own way. I’m getting what I want! Iiiiiiii did it my own way So this time I’m getting what I want!

Blanket 03:52 video
I’m all wrapped up, warm in my blanket The one you gave me, that time at the beach I never wash it out of respect Respect for what we do All its snags and holes give it flavour. Reminds me of danger That’s the part I like best You wrap me up, I shake out all the dust and dirt You wrap me up, for days! I can’t escape your grip From that warmth inside of you Late last night, I touched some magic She was inviting, and weird and fun all at once The strangest thing, was what happened after I slipped out into the night, of obscurity, You wrap me up, I shake out all the dust and dirt You wrap me up, for days! I can’t escape/slip your grip From that warmth inside of you The thing of it was, it never happened All of it forgotten, like a healed bruise And yet at night, its all I can think of That one time when I met you, and you made me warm. You wrap me up, I shake out all the dust and dirt You wrap me up, for days! I can’t escape your grip From that warmth inside of you And when I’m out, (you wrap me up) I look for your face (you wrap me up) Maybe too early, ( Back into the cold

Now look see, she came at me, there was nothing to do my first fatality, stared at me red into blue days stare at mirrors, and stars on my floors The sight of a snow-filled sky, can take me down Down a dangerous road Sliding driving is normal, well at least normal to me Every single tread of the tires, are clinging to fragility I need the stability of routine, To leave from safety to another safe place, When I leave home, I think it means I’m exposed. I know, it’s slow Pressing on through it all We go, onward Going down this dangerous road We keep going down this dangerous road. Like one-long sung-song forever, I sit here frozen alone Then comes in some twisted wreck to wake up the chill in my bones Some useless misfortune, sliding sideways A path not wanted, nor seen,, She came head-on, into my lane. I know, it’s slow Pressing on through it all We go, onward Going down this dangerous road We keep going down this dangerous road. Day, after day. After day After day We go Down this small highway. It’s so damn early! The winds are blowing! I can only see her In what’s left of my mind. It’s too damn early To say its over. I can only see her In what’s left of my mind.

I move without effort i’m flying yet again I’ve searched for other airways Ones I’ve not been in It’s a messed up situation on flight 112N Flown out from the Wasteland A tempest town of sin. I can tell, I can tell, you were there before me. Is it tough? You were there before me. telling tales of Airports passed over Airports passed over Says the captain’s soothing voice “This just might get bumpy” Wearing silver feathers His cloud’s too thin There’s burning in the air I’m thinking peaches or raspberry or currents with cream We’re way past turbulence This thing’s going down I can tell, I can tell, you were there before me. Is it tough? You were there before me telling tales

Throw down, the Lesson, For Deamon’s Play There are things we all want, but dare not say Underwritten a third kind Seems alright for a like mind Taken too far, loose unwind Only one to win you find... I want some damage and not some little scratch Some fucking damage from which you won’t come back... Damage! Hide under lamps, our spat Getting under way You take your blade, I’ll swing an axe I’ll cut you up every way The first to draw blood is the winner The first to give up is a sinner But not from this crowd, it’s not allowed (Bridge 2 X from the recording) We sank this back into the ground To prep this bout (so now) You got it in you head To take me out (then) try to take me out! (Guit solo) Just try to take me out. I want some damage and not some little scratch Some fucking damage from which you won’t come back I want some damage and not some little scratch Some fucking damage from which you won’t come back... Damage!
