The Pretty Reckless

th by rock and roll""

[Chorus 1]
I wanna go with a shotgun blast
I wanna go with a woman on her back
I wanna go with balls, I won't pray
I wanna go with this bottle in my veins
I wanna go
I wanna go
I wanna go out my way

[Verse 2]
Amy shot and killed a man
With a gun too heavy in her hand
But on my tombstone when I go
Just put "Death by rock and roll""
Janey had steel in her bones
But she burned away, blood into stone
But on my tombstone when I go
Just put "Death by rock and roll""

[Chorus 2]
I wanna go with a shotgun blast
I wanna go with a woman on her back
I wanna go with this sickness in my throat
I wanna go, killed by rock and roll
I wanna
I wanna go
I wanna go out my way, yeah

[Chorus 3]
I wanna go with a shotgun blast
I wanna go with a motorcycle crash
Out on my own, I don't need to be saved
I wanna go out my way

[Outro]
But on my tombstone when I go
Just put "Death by rock and roll""

2. Only Love Can Save Me Now.

[Verse 1]
Heaven's falling out of the sky
Sends a message to you and I
See people crawling out of their trees
Chained to sickness, the dogs are free

[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna be saved
I wanna be saved

[Chorus]
From the sound, the sound
The world is spitting out
Only love can save me now
Gone so down, lost is all I found
Only love, love, love can save me now

[Verse 2]
Drowning madly in deep blue seas
Waves of sadness swallow me
No soul can hear me beneath the weight
No gods or saviors, no hands of fate

[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna be saved
I wanna be saved

[Chorus]
From the sound, the sound
The world is spitting out
Only love can save me now
Gone so down, lost is all I found
Only love, love, love can save me now

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
I wanna be saved
I wanna be saved
I wanna be saved
I wanna be saved

[Chorus]
From the sound, the sound
The world is spitting out
Only love can save me now
Gone so down, lost is all I found
Only love, love, love can save me now

3. And So It Went.

[Verse 1]
And so it went
The children lost their minds
Beggin' for forgiveness
Was such a waste of time
And the bullets start to fly
And the bough's about to break
When you hear them cry
It's too much for me to take

[Chorus]
They said the world does not belong to you
You are not the king, I am not the fool
They said the world does not belong to you
It don't belong to you
It belongs to me

[Verse 2]
And so it went
The children lost their minds
Crawlin' over bodies of those who gave their lives
And the fists began to throw
And the fire starts to blaze
Don't you think they know
They're the fuckin' human race?

[Chorus]
They said the world does not belong to you
You are not the king, I am not the fool
They said the world does not belong to you
It don't belong to you
It belongs to—

[Bridge]
Everyone is cryin' out, I can hear them scream
With all these eyes upon us, but no one seems to see
That you and me are just the same as God meant it to be
But you're much too close to me
You're much too close to me

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
And so it went
The children lost their minds
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
And the wind begins to howl
And the wolf is at your door
You have so much of everything
But still, you wanted more

[Chorus]
They said the world does not belong to you
You are not the king, I am not the fool
They said the world does not belong to you
It don't belong to you
It belongs to me

[Chorus]
The world does not belong to you
You are not the king, I am not the fool
They said the world does not belong to you
It don't belong to you
It belongs to me

4. 25.

[Verse 1]
Year one was lots of fun
But nothin' lasts forever in my dreams
And two, I followed you
Because you knew the way or so it seemed
And three, I still believed
That we would be becoming destiny
And four, I wanted more
But you were movin' on to better things

[Chorus]
At twenty-five and still alive
Much longer than expected for a man
At twenty-five, all hope has died
And the glass of my intentions turns to sand
And shatters in my hand

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh

[Verse 2]
Five to six, a lie, a kiss
The secrets that were served, we'd never say
Skip to eight, we called it fate
To live, to let us die another day
And nine, I saw the signs
Reflected in the barrel of a gun
Ten, we're here again
Those who loved me burned up in the sun

[Chorus]
At twenty-five and still alive
Much longer than expected for a man
At twenty-five, all hope has died
And the glass of my intentions turns to sand
And shatters in my hand
Shatters in my hand

[Bridge]
From eleven, twelve, I held the future in my grasp
And all through my teens, I screamed I may not live much past
Twenty-one, two, three, four
Twenty-one, two, three, four
Twenty-one, two, three, four
One, two, three, four

[Chorus]
At twenty-five and still alive
Much longer than expected for a man
At twenty-five, all hope has died
And the glass of my intentions
The glass of my intentions
The glass of my intentions turns to sand
It shatters in my hand

[Post-Chorus]
Shatters in my hand
In my hand

5. My Bones.

[Verse 1]
In the mist of the mornin' while the beast was asleep
Woke up with a plan so brilliant, I could not believe
My mother and father, doctor and friends
Don't tell them, don't trust them, they won't understand
If you can't win the battle, it's better to run

[Chorus]
Bury it down with my soul
Down in my soul
Down with my soul
Where they'll never find me

[Post-Chorus]
My bones
My bones

[Verse 2]
Way out in the garden, way out in the fields
So far from these civilized nations, their discord and deals
The birds, they all know it, they showed it to me
Forgotten by man, there stands an old hanging tree
Forgotten by man, there stands an old hanging tree
Its roots are still growin', it died long ago

[Chorus]
Bury it down with my soul
Down in my soul
Down with my soul
Where they'll never find me

[Post-Chorus]
My bones
My bones
My bones
My bones

[Bridge]
Follow me, don't follow me
(Follow me) When I was young, I could perfectly see
Now I'm as blind, blind as a girl can be
(Follow me) Out of insanity into ecstasy
We all sin, so why am I so guilty?
Back to the trenches of the life I lead
This hole, the only place that I can be free
And out on the deep blue sea
Is where, is where I'll be
Don't follow me

[Outro]
In the mist of the mornin'
While the beast was asleep
I carried out my plan
I carried out my plan
I carried out my plan
I carried out my plan
I carried out my plan
(I carried out my plan)

6. Got So High.

[Intro]
One, two, three

[Verse 1]
Turned out wasted, confused, complacent, I
Lost my center, suppose I meant to, I

[Chorus]
I, I got so high
I got so high

[Verse 2]
Success showed somethin', at the same time nothin', I
Thought I got it, but it seems I've lost it, I

[Chorus]
I, I got so high
I got so high

[Bridge]
If I wanted to fly, I should have gone up in a plane
If I wanted to fly, I should have climbed up to the highest mountaintop
Not lost my brain, but I'm insane, so

[Chorus]
I, I got so high
I, I got so high
I, I got so high
I, I got so high

[Outro]
I was somethin' but now I'm nothin', I

7. Broomsticks.

[Verse]
Broomsticks, tombs in graveyards loom
Tall hats, black cats, cauldrons brew
We fly by the light of the full moon
Watch your neck when wolfsbane starts to bloom

8. Witches Burn.

[Verse 1]
Welcome back to the days of old
Where the men are men and the women are sold
Unwilling sacrifice, I'll fuck you for a price
They kill 'em young so they never get old

[Pre-Chorus 1]
They lock the doors and pull down the shades
After the dark, they are always afraid
But I go out at night, I won't apologize
There's a price I'll pay

[Chorus]
For this I'll burn
For this I'll burn
One thing I've learned, you'll get your turn
All witches burn
All witches burn
All witches burn

[Verse 2]
Don't know much about a pagan god
If you think you're better than me, I know you're not
But I'll do what you say, I'm learning to obey
Down on my knees when you call me a dog

[Pre-Chorus 2]
'Til I get close enough for a blade
To stick it in, then I'll spit on your grave
I'm smiling all the while, you won't be at the trial
But there's a price I'll pay

[Chorus]
For this I'll burn
For this I'll burn
One thing I've learned, you'll get your turn
All witches burn
All witches burn
All witches burn

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Down and down and down we go
Scatter the ashes in the shape of the soul
The dark will have its day
But there's a price I'll pay

[Chorus]
For this I'll burn
For this I'll burn
One thing I've learned, you'll get your turn
All witches burn
All witches burn
All witches burn
All witches burn
All witches burn
All witches burn
All witches burn
All witches burn

9. Standing At The Wall.

[Verse 1]
I remember long before the sun refused to shine
If I had only known that I was out of time
But now I see in front of me
Through my breath, I see its shadow over me

[Chorus 1]
I am standin' at the wall
It is high and I am small
All alone, there’s no one to catch me when I fall
From the wall
From the wall

[Verse 2]
A lot of la-di-da-da-da's when we were young
With no memories to weigh us down and life was fun
But now I see, it's over me
And my dreams are all for naught, but lost at sea

[Chorus 1]
But I am standin’ at the wall
It is high and I am small
All alone, there's no one to catch me whеn I fall
From the wall
From the wall

[Bridge]
You can build it up, you can blow it down
You can burn the world around it
If you losе it all, you will find it taller and
That you're surrounded by the wall
By the wall

[Chorus 2]
I am standin' at the wall
It is high and I am small
And I hope the wind will catch me when I fall
From the wall
From the wall
From the wall

10. Turning Gold.

[Verse 1]
Love is a vengeance put upon this breed
It takes the highest mountain and brings it to its knees
Down below, it hits me and keeps me wearin' this mask
But if I ever meet him, I'll be sure to ask for the light
For the light, for the light, for the light

[Chorus]
In the seventh hour
Waitin' in the cold
I can feel the power
I'm turning gold, I'm turning gold
I'm turning gold

[Verse 2]
Life is an ending starting in the womb
You build a home of brick and mortar, then it is your tomb
And I don't know real, I don't know right
I don't know if I should lay down or fight
But I know that somehow, it'll be alright

[Chorus]
In the seventh hour
Waitin' in the cold
I can feel the power
I'm turning gold, I'm turning gold
I'm turning gold

[Verse 3]
Time is relentlеss, a mathematical curse
Put upon by God above to makе your body hurt
Through the burning, the bleeding, the itch of the healing
The screams carry on through the night
But I know that somehow, it'll be alright

[Chorus]
In the seventh hour
Waitin' in the cold
I can feel the power
I'm turning gold, I'm turning gold
I'm turning gold
I'm turning gold
I'm turning gold

11. Rock and Roll Heaven.

[Verse 1]
Freedom found me when I first heard The Beatles sing
Music surroundin' me, the church bells start to ring
I stole my daddy's vinyl and burned that needle out
Jimi, Janis and Morrison, a garden full of sound
I sold my car for an old guitar and set out on the road
My mama cried as she waved goodbye, prayin' for my soul

[Chorus]
In rock and roll heaven, the great gig in the sky
Gotta make it to twenty-seven before I die
In rock and roll heaven, couldn't get more high
Gotta take what you've been given and just fly

[Verse 2]
Well, I learned a long, long time ago that life is like a song
And the music goes on playing even after you are gone
But to live so fast just to die so young
I hope you found some peace
Everything I am today is what you made of me

[Chorus]
In rock and roll heaven, the great gig in the sky
Gotta make it to twenty-seven before I die
In rock and roll heaven, couldn't get more high
Gotta take what you've been given and just fly

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
People come and go, but deep down, I know
We'll meet again someday

[Chorus]
In rock and roll heaven, the great gig in the sky
Thought I was done livin', but I survived
In rock and roll heaven, couldn't get more high
Gotta take what you've been given and just fly

[Post-Chorus]
In rock and roll
In rock and roll
In rock and roll

12. Harley Darling.

[Chorus 1]
Whoa, Harley darlin'
You took my love
You took him down the lonely road to the stars above
Whoa, Harley darlin'
You took my friend
You took everything and now I'm alone again

[Verse]
Harley, won't you take me back to Hollywood?
Let me see him one more time, I'd hold him like I could
All night, so tight

[Chorus 2]
Whoa, Harley darlin'
The love of everyone
Roaring noise down the highway in the sun
Whoa, Harley darlin'
You done me wrong
Now I'm all alone to sing this lonely song

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Ride away, ride away, ride away, ride away
Ride away, ride away, ride away, ride away

[Chorus 3]
On your Harlеy darlin' (Harley darlin')
You took my love
You took him down the lonеly road to the stars above
Woah, Harley darlin'
You took my friend
You took everything and now, everything and now
You took everything and now I'm alone again
