She was stoned, stoned, danger zone
There was nothing in her eyes

And then there, there in the air
Nailed to the cross was Jesus
Crossroad, overload

Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray my soul to keep away
From the holy spirit, holy ghost
They're hiding in the dark

Oh, nightmare, electric chair
You might not get to heaven
Bad boys, shout for joy
Watch him to cry

Prime time, nursery rhyme
Love just needs religion
Crossroad, overload



Firehead

(Dio/Grijalva/Pilson/Appice)

Who's that angry man I see?
Is he coming closer?
Well, I'll just make believe
That I've never been afraid

Crackle, crackle - you're all dead
Feel the heat from firehead

From spooky stories that he's read
They put pictures on his body
Living out a fantasy
To be the last one left alive

Crackle, crackle - you're all dead
Feel the heat from firehead

He's lost the instruction, no control
Suicide fever, he won't be much older
I know, won't go away

What's that smoke that I can see?
Rising from the ashes
Well, it seems that there will always be
Someone just like you

Crackle, crackle and you're all dead
Feel the heat from firehead
Firehead
Firehead



Strange highways

(Dio/Grijalva/Pilson/Appice)

It's a crazy world we live in and I'm leaving it today
For another institution we, crazy people play
Every time I climb the mountain and it turned into a hill
I promised me that I'd move on and I will

I, I, good for nothing
Going nowhere, so they say

Hey, someone! Give me blessings
For they say that I have sinned
That's when I crawl inside myself
And ride into the wind

On strange highways
On strange highways

Hey, you! I want your number
Don't even wonder, we do things our way here
Questions - these are forbidden
We got no answers, believe us anyway

So here is my confession
It's the only broken rule
Sometimes I crawl inside of me
Where I can't be the fool

On strange highways
On strange highways

You can see the other side and you shall come over
You can't leave the other side if you say I will

Everytime I climb the mountain
And it turned into a hill
Well, I promised me I'd disappear
And now I know I will

So someone give me blessings
For the times you say I've sinned
So I can crawl inside myself
And ride into the wind

On strange highways
On strange highways

Questions - they're forbidden
Hey, you! What's your number?
Oh, we've got no answers
Don't you even wonder

Oh, strange highways



Hollywood black

(Dio/Grijalva)

Came to the sunset scene
To find out who's inside of me
Some lies I've never seen
But this one lies on the silver screen

In between real and dream like a scream

Hollywood black - I'm caught in the middle
Hollywood black

Same story, different eyes
Here's where the hero never, never dies
Can't you tell that all the wishes you've made
Have filled up the well?

Hollywood black - caught in the middle
Hollywood black
Hollywood black - right in the middle
Too late, too little

Back to the street again or was that yesterday?
Another yesterday's gone, gone
Back in the jungle, running with the animals
Howling at the sign of the spotlight

Those dreams are made of glass
You throw just one stone and then there goes your last window
Can't you tell that every wish that you made
Filled up the well?

Hollywood black - caught in the middle
Hollywood black
Hollywood black - right in the middle

Hollywood black
Hollywood black

Caught in the middle
Too late, too little
And only fools come back
'Cause Hollywood's black



Evilution

(Dio/Grijalva/Pilson/Appice)

Good night! We're closing again
Come back, we're open tomorrow
We've finished today, I'm just staying away
We know what's good for the brain

Plastic dreams and fast machines pushing it to the limit
Girls and boys who think that noise is music in the air
Twist that dial and stay awhile, here's your invitation
Dirty rags and body bags - evilution

Hello! We're open once more
Come in, you need no appointment
We're thinking in time that you'll move down the line
And represent the business in hell, well, well

Tell her hope is gone but you carry on, we can set the soul free
All is lost so what's it costs to listen anyway?
The world upstairs where no one cares is just about to crumble
See it through, we'll burn for you - evilution company

Neon names play neon games, showing it to the public
I hate you and you hate me and everybody smiles
So money talks and no one walks but everybody's crawling
Golden rags and body bags - evilution

Hello! Good night!
It's me, I'm open again
Come back, come in
Goodbye, we're closed



Pain

(Dio/Grijalva)

Give me a choice between pleasure and pain
I choose pain

Another day without a heartbeat
How can your heart beat if they've taken it away?
For the first time just don't think about it
Take the water and wash your face with pain

You can take away the power
Your finest hour it's when you laugh in their faces
For the first time just forget about it
Take a hammer and pound yourself with pain

Bury my bones on the moon
If they never should find me it would be too soon
Give me a choice between power and pain
I choose pain

Bury my bones on the moon
If they never should find me it would be too soon
For the first time just forget about it
Take the water and wash your face with pain

Pain
Just forget about pain
Forget about the pain
Pain

Pain
Pain
Pain
Pain



One foot in the grave

(Dio/Grijalva/Pilson/Appice)

Here we go again, must be delirious
Can't close my eyes, sleep is just a drug
This must be serious, this must be serious
Does this go on and on forever?

Sometimes in the dark
I feel invincible, I wonder why
I hear voices out of shadows
And shadows never lie

Helter skelter, now give me shelter
Use the children like toys
Eat your lover then find another
There be good little boys, boys will be boys

I got two hands to hold you, two arms around you
The master and the slave
Two eyes to watch you, two hands to help you
Put one foot in the grave

Here we go again, must be delirious
Can't close my eyes, no
Sleep is just a drug, this must be serious
This must be serious

Helter skelter, now give me shelter
My brain is twisting again
I could be dreaming this
No, I'm screaming this, no more, no

I got two hands to hold you, two arms around you
The master and the slave
Two eyes to watch you, two hands to help you
Put one foot in the grave



Give her the gun

(Dio/Grijalva/Pilson)

She heard this song before
Daddy's at the door just to say: "I love you"
Please, please, don't let him in
Is it all beginning again tonight? Somebody make it right

I say: "Give her the gun"
Look at him, run away
Give her the gun
Before the next one comes along and doesn't pay

He dragged into the cold
Momma sold her soul for one more ride to heaven
Please, someone let him in
Is it all beginning again tonight? Can anyone make it right?

I say: "Give him the gun"
Look at her, run away
Give him the gun
Before the next one comes along and doesn't pay

Simply unforgivable, destruction of the heart
Does anybody tell?
Make yourself invisible, be blinded by the light
We're hiding away, what would they say?

She played this song before
Daddy's at the door just to say: "Hello"
Now in a different world
Is it all beginning again tonight? I got to make it right

I say: "Give her the gun"
Look at him, run away
Give her the gun
Before the next one comes along

Give her the gun
Look at him, falling down
Give her the gun
Before the next one comes along

'Cause it goes 'round and 'round and 'round
'Round and 'round and 'round
'Round and 'round and 'round
'Round and 'round and 'round



Blood from a stone

(Dio/Grijalva/Pilson/Appice)

You've been surprised again
Pulled like a leaf to the waterfall
Everybody's just pretending
I thought that you'd learn by now

Think about it one more time
What have you got when the god is gone?
Clouds don't have a silver lining
And all you ever get is rain

'Cause you can't get blood from a stone
You can't open the door if there's nobody home
They've taken it all so just leave me alone
You can't get blood from a stone

It isn't once upon a time
When nobody falls and the hero flies
That victims got to fit the crime
And nobody goes down with you, you, you

'Cause you can't get blood from a stone
You can't open the door if there's nobody home
They've taken it all so just leave me alone
You can't get blood from a stone, no, no

'Cause you can't get blood from a stone
You can't open the door if there's nobody home
They've taken it all so just leave me alone
No, you can't get blood from a stone

No blood from a stone
Go on and leave me alone
And I know it's a shock to learn you can't
You can't, you can't get blood from a rock



Here's to you

(Dio/Grijalva/Pilson/Appice)

Here's to you

Here's to you, here's to me
Masters of the universe, the curse of destiny
All for one, it's one for all
Now you can pull the trigger as we're knocking down the wall

When you finally shoot too high
The lies will always bring it down

You resurrection angels, look what we found
That the wheel goes around so here's to you

Come on, raise the dead, heads will roll
Cancel the infection, we can purify the soul
Do the crime then write the law
There's no wrong, you can change it where a change you've never saw

Hey, you! Desperation angels
Here we found that they all fell down so
Here's to me
Here's to you

Here's to you
Here's to me
Here's to reason

Here's to me
Here's to you
Raise the dead
Here's to freedom



Bring down the rain

(Dio/Grijalva/Pilson/Appice)

Did you ever believe in your dreams before?
Were you always afraid of the dark?
Is the edge of the world always in your head?
Does the gun point straight at your heart?

It used to come just when you sleep
But now it's only a shout away
You always seem to find the sun
But this time the sun is a fire

Bring down the rain
This house is burning again
Put out the flame
Bring down the rain

You were told that the storm would just roll on by
That the thunder was made in your mind
And the heat in the night was to keep you warm
And the truth could be told by a liar now

You always seem to find the light
But this time the light is a fire

Bring down the rain
This house is burning again
Put down the flame
Bring down the rain

Shake up, break up, everybody make up
Everything's always the same
Trapped down, trapped down, everybody back down
Bring down the rain

You always seem to find the light
But this time the light is a fire

Bring down the rain
This house is burning again
Don't play the game
Bring down the rain

Put out the flame
Bring down the rain

It's the shake up, break up, everybody make up
Well, it's always the same
Trapped down, cracked down, everybody back down
Won't you bring down all the rain?
