Steady woman won't you come on down?I need you right here on the groundI've walked the outskirts of this townBeen terrorized by what I've foundI saw a standing virgin brideWhere holy Dionysus diedShe tore the heart out from his sideAnd laid it there, and there she cried(Whoa's x4)She said, Hello, I'm a monster too.What poisons me is what poisons you.Into these animals we grew(But) When we were young our eyes were blueI take my medicine on my kneeTwice a day but lately threeKeeps the devil from my doorAnd it makes me rich and it makes me poorI'm a beggar in the morning,I'm a king at night,My belt is loose,But my trigger is tightMay come without warning,At the speed of the lightMake it shine so prettyMake it shine so brightI think I've come a long, long wayTo stand before you here todayThey're yours alone, the songs I play,To take with you or throw awayWhoa-o-o-o, Whoa-o-o-o-o-o-o, Whoa-o-o-o-o, Whoa-o-o-o, Whoa-o-o-o(Away forever or fade away)Oh, I want an angel to wipe my tears,Know my dreams, my hopes, desires and fearsWe may capsize, but we won't drownHold each other as the sun goes downI'm a beggar in the morning,I'm a king at night,My belt is loose, andMy trigger is tightMay come without warningAt the speed of the light-Make it shine so pretty,Make it shine so bright.
