No Rest for the Wicked

I'm looking for a Miracle Man
That tells me no lies,
I'm looking for a Miracle Man
Who's not in disguise

I don't know where he'll come from
And I don't know where he's been,
But it's not our jimmy sinner
Because he's so obscene

Miracle Man got busted,
Miracle Man got busted

Today I saw a Miracle Man,
On TV cryin'
Such a hypocritical man,
Born again,
Dyin'

He don't know where he's goin'
But we sure know where he's been,
It was our little Jimmy sinner on the screen

Miracle Man got busted,
Miracle Man got busted,
Miracle Man got busted,
Miracle Man

A Devil with a crucifix,
Brimstone and fire,
He needs another carnal fix
To take him higher and higher

Now Jimmy he got busted
With his pants down,
Repent ye wretched sinners,
Self righteous clown

Miracle Man got busted,
Miracle Man got busted,
Miracle Man got busted,
Miracle Man got busted,
Miracle Man got busted,
Miracle Man got busted,
Miracle Man got busted

Your comin' home
There's blood on the walls
And Charlie and the family made house calls
If you're alone
Then watch what you do
'Cos Charlie and the family might get you

Can you hear them
In the darkness,
Helter Skelter
Spiral madness,
Yeah,
Bloodbath in paradise,
But there's no where you can run to baby,
Bloodbath in paradise
Forever sleep
In paradise

California sun
But you're still in bed
And the California rain is turning red
No sign of life
Or the keepers of doom
In Charlie and the keeper's scarlet room

Can you hear them
In the darkness,
Helter Skelter
Spiral madness,
Yeah,
Bloodbath in paradise,
But there's no where you can run to baby,
Bloodbath in paradise
Forever sleep
In paradise

They'll summon you,
To wake from the dead
As you lie bleeding,
Murdered in your bed
The sweetest dreams
Are all in your mind
But no-one wakes when Charlie creeps behind,
Yeah

Execution halts your breath,
Helter Skelter
Spiral death,
Bloodbath in paradise,
But there's no where you can break out baby
Bloodbath in paradise
Forever sleep
In paradise

The introduction to his heartache began as a child
So it's no wonder that he grew up to be so wild
So he protected his feelings in walls he imagined
But castles crumble exposing the frightened child

Fire in the sky,
Can't you see that all my castles are burning
Fire in the sky,
Won't you help me now my castles are burning

In solitude he couldn't deal with his own existence,
The burning questions in the castles have still remained
God only knows how he searched in vain for the answers,
Now castles crumble exposing his naked flames,
Yeah

Fire in the sky,
Can't you see that all my castles are burning
Fire in the sky,
Won't you help me now my castles are burning

(Repeat 7 times)

Well she's a mean hard woman
And she knows what she wants
She's my tattooed rock 'n' roll dancer,
I'm under her thumb
And when she tells me come,
Oh hi's the only way I can answer

They're gonna put me away,
Put me away,
Goddamn them

Well I can hear her moaning
Like a dog that's in heat,
She never takes no for an answer,
she's driving me mad,
She makes it good to be bad,
My little tattooed rock 'n' roll dancer

They'll never put me away,
Put me away,
Goddamn them

They'll never put me away,
Put me away,
My soul's on fire

Tattooed dancer,
Dance for me bitch

I think I'm in grave danger,
Goin' over the top,
There is no question only and answer
She can't give me love,
I think I've fallen in lust
With my tattooed rock 'n' roll dancer

They'll never put me away,
Put me away,
Goddamn them

They'll never put me away,
Put me away,
My soul's on fire

They'll never put me away,
My soul's on fire

I'm sick and tired of you excuses,
Can't deal with living anymore
I'll give you reasons to continue
While you lie writhing on the floor

I'll wash away your lies
And have you hypnotized
They'll be no compromise today,
I'll share your life of shame,
I think you know my name,
I'll introduce myself today,
I'm the demon alcohol,
Demon alcohol, I'll get you

If you could deal with your reflection
I'm sure you'd see into my eyes.
There'll be no need for resurrection,
Let's drink to people of lies

Although that one's too much,
You know ten's not enough,
They'll be no compromise today,
I'll watch you lose control,
Consume your very soul
I'll introduce myself today,
I'm the demon alcohol,
Demon alcohol,
Ha, ha
Demon alcohol,
Demon alcohol,
Let's party

(Demon alcohol) (I'm the demon alcohol)

I'm sick and tired of resolutions,
You've quit me time and time again,
Don't speak of suicide solutions,
You took my hand,
I'm here to stay

This time it's you or me,
I'll never set you free,
There'll be no compromise today

So satisfy your lust,
Too much can't be enough,
I'll introduce myself today,
I'm the demon alcohol,
The demon alcohol,
Aha,
Demon alcohol,
Demon alcohol,

Let's Party!

I don't want to be your hero
I don't want to ever let you down
No I don't want to let you down

I can try to take you higher
But I don't want to wear your broken crown
You know it brings me down

Don't think you'll ever understand me
I don't even understand me
Don't have the power to anoint you
And I don't want to disappoint the fools no more
The fools no more

I couldn't answer all your questions
And if you're lost I couldn't find the way
I couldn't find your way

You know you'll have to face the music
You change your tune, you don't know what to play
So don't you run away

Everybody's talkin' crazy
Some think I am a devil maybe
I don't want to hear about it
Don't want to have to scream and shout at

Fools no more
The fools no more

So I don't want to be your hero
Don't want to sit upon your crippled throne
I've got a life of my own

I am not your destination
Or a road that's gonna lead you home
So baby please don't go

Please don't go
Please don't go
Please don't go
Please don't go...
