HEAVEN'S BASEMENT LYRICS

1. Welcome Home

Welcome home

Come in, you've sinned
Motherfucker it's a new beginning
You lose, I win
Now you're stuck and it's too late for running
Dancing in the river on the bed of an angel
Drinking dirty water from the fountain of hell yeah
Sleeping with the enemy but don't ever tell
I can hear you ringing the bell

Welcome home
The Devil's own
If you're dying in the fire, it's better if you're not alone
Welcome home

Woah, yeah, lord

No shame, this game
Once you come inside you know you're never the same yeah
No one, to blame
Welcome to the family with no last name
Dancing in the river on the bed of an angel
Drinking dirty water from the fountain of hell yeah
Sleeping with the enemy but don't ever tell
I can hear you ringing the bell

Welcome home
The Devil's own
If you're dying in the fire, it's better if you're not alone
Welcome home

Come in, you've sinned
Motherfucker it's a new beginning
You lose, I win
Now you're stuck and it's too late for running
Dancing in the river on the bed of an angel
Drinking dirty water from the fountain of hell yeah
Sleeping with the enemy but don't ever tell
I can hear you ringing the bell

Welcome home
The Devil's own
If you're dying in the fire, it's better if you're not alone
Welcome home

Welcome home
The Devil's own
If you're dying in the fire, it's better if you're not alone

2. Fire Fire

Don't tell me your name
I know it ain't gonna change
Anyway that I think
(You motherfucker)
It's not as if you're to blame
If we're one and the same
We're on the edge, on the brink
(You motherfucker)

Come take control
Won't be the soul
Just do as you're told
Come burn a hole
In what they know
Get up and go

Throw matches to see, what you can ignite
Fire fire, fire fire
Throw matches to see, what stays out of sight
Fire fire, fire fire
'Cause when the clouds come down on this town estate
We'll make our way to a great escape
Throw matches to see, what you can ignite

No time to spare
No truth or dare
Give them something to hide
(You motherfucker)
Go with the time
Step on the mines
Our time to shine
(You motherfucker)

Come steal the wind
Come throw the earth
Come bring the storm
Come seize the day
Come make the change
Give them something to mourn

Throw matches to see, what you can ignite
Fire fire, fire fire
Throw matches to see, what stays out of sight
Fire fire, fire fire
'Cause when the clouds come down on this town estate
We'll make our way to a great escape
Throw matches to see, what you can ignite

We're all bought down in desperation
By this dirty town and aggravation
It's time to leave and find another new home

We've had our day our day is done so
In this weird landscape let's do it over
There's no time to waste to find another new home

Throw matches to see, what you can ignite
Fire fire, fire fire
Throw matches to see, what stays out of sight
Fire fire, fire fire
'Cause when the clouds come down on this town estate
We'll make our way to a great escape
Throw matches to see, what you can ignite

3. Nothing Left To Lose

Oh
Yeah

Cover your eyes you're not ready to see this
Better to be blind than to try and resist
Say your prayers and cease and desist
We all have secrets

Everyone dies so what's the meaning in all this
But we have a choice to live on to exist
If you want more, go take it and get pissed
We don't have regrets

I know how it feels, to have nothing left to lose
To burn it all, and be left alone with silence
How it feels, with the anger and the rage (and the rage)
Get out, get out, get out, we are defiance

Pushed to the edge I can't go any further
Tear me apart with mechanical murder
Ignorant bliss in a time of disorder
God save the bastards

Nightmares come when I can't open my eyes
Running from the past I know that I can't hide
I get knocked down shout up to the sky
I got no regrets

I know how it feels, to have nothing left to lose
To burn it all, and be left alone with silence
How it feels, with the anger and the rage (and the rage)
Get out, get out, get out, we are defiance

We don't belong here
The sound of a thousand vultures
Will drown us out and confiscate our bones
We stand alone

We don't belong here
The sound of a thousand vultures
Will drown us out and confiscate our bones
We stand alone
We stand alone
We stand alone

I know how it feels, to have nothing left to lose
To burn it all, and be left alone with silence
How it feels, with the anger and the rage (and the rage)
Get out, get out, get out, we are defiance

I know how it feels, to have nothing left to lose
To burn it all, and be left alone with silence
How it feels, with the anger and the rage (and the rage)
Get out, get out, get out, we are defiance

Say goodbye to the world that we once knew

4. Lights Out In London

Paint black, sunset, left marks on this town so you won't forget
Gypsy, vagabond, baby you're coming down but I haven't yet
Old shoes, old news, take a picture of the filth that I got to lose
Cracked teeth, blitzkrieg, and I'm stuck underneath say goodbye c'est la vie

I'll be gone, when the lights go out in London
Carry on, by the morning you'll forget
All the wasted I left behind a broken memory
Yeah it all went wrong so when the lights go out in London I'll be gone

Salt lick, get your kicks, I'll kick the bucket before a walk back through this shit
Black lung, black hole, motherfucker shut your mouth before I lose control
Hip shake, heartbreak, I'm sick of sleeping in the dirt with the fucking dregs
Seeing red, I hit my head, tell the devil that I'm dead, yeah, won't you tell him what I said

I'll be gone, when the lights go out in London
Carry on, by the morning you'll forget
All the wasted I left behind a broken memory
Yeah it all went wrong so when the lights go out in London I'll be gone

'Cause I got this feeling
Nothing to believe in
I'm just crashing down, yeah
And it's two in the morning
You don't get no warning
Ha, I'm leaving now

I'll be gone, when the lights go out in London
Carry on, by the morning you'll forget
I'll be gone, when the lights go out in London
Carry on, by the morning you'll forget
All the wasted I left behind a broken memory
Yeah it all went wrong so when the lights go out in London I'll be gone
I'll be gone

5. I Am Electric

I am the new-born, I'm the creator
I am velocity, I am the rapture
I'm the destroyer, I am the cavalry
I am the poison, I am the powder
I am the fighter, I'm the protector
I am the AC, I am the DC
I am electric, I am electric
I am electric, I am electric

Watch me burn, till the future is no more
Watch me burn, I'm the killer and the cure
So hate me, I killed your God
So watch me burn

I'm the destroyer, I am the power
I am the torment, I am the cancer
I am velocity, I am the horror
I am the finger, I am the fuck you
I am electric, I am electric
I am electric, I am electric
I am electric, I am electric
I am electric, I am electric

Watch me burn, till the future is no more
Watch me burn, I am the killer and the cure
So hate me, I killed your God
So watch me burn
Watch me burn
Watch me burn
Watch me burn

I am the new-born, I'm the creator
I am velocity, I am the rapture
I'm the destroyer, I am the cavalry
I am the poison, I am the KISS OF FIRE

Watch me burn, till the future is no more
Watch me burn, I'm the killer and the cure
So hate me, I killed your God
Watch me burn

I am electric, I am electric
I am electric, I am electric

6. The Long Goodbye

A smile could crack this angry face
The endless days, the endless wait
As tension fills up the empty space
I wait in vain and fade away, away, away
Fade away, away, away
I fade away, away, away

No you never know what you got until it's gone
(It's wasted, it's wasted)
And when it's gone then you know it's gone forever
When you take the long goodbye
No-one here ever stays they all move on
(It's wasted, it's wasted)
And when we're gone then you know we're gone forever
When you take the long goodbye

And as the flowers slowly die
We find new ways of wasting time
The question is what's left to try
I watch the rain and fade away, away, away
Fade away, away, away
I fade away, away, away

No you never know what you got until it's gone
(It's wasted, it's wasted)
And when it's gone then you know it's gone forever
When you take the long goodbye
No-one here ever stays they all move on
(It's wasted, it's wasted)
And when we're gone then you know we're gone forever
When you take the long goodbye

No you never know what you got until it's gone
(It's wasted, it's wasted)
And when it's gone then you know it's gone forever
When you take the long goodbye
No-one here ever stays they all move on
(It's wasted, it's wasted)
And when we're gone then you know we're gone forever
When you take the long goodbye

7. Heartbreaking Son Of A Bitch

You think you know me but you don't know shit
I'm gonna show you that I will never quit
I'm gonna own you make you my bitch
You can't control me, you just make me sick

I ain't Jumpin' Jack Flash

Shit talk, non-stop
Gimme everything you got
Everybody here is insane
Oh, shit talk, non-stop
Gimme everything you got
Everybody knows I'm a heartbreaking son of a bitch
Oh yeah

I've seen you tripping off the tip of your toes
I've seen you flipping out at people you don't know
You think it's easy 'cause you're on a high
I kinda think you're overdosing on a lie

I ain't Jumpin' Jack Flash
I'm no Telegram Sam
I ain't Ziggy Stardust
I'm just a heartbreaking son of a bitch

Shit talk, non-stop
Gimme everything you got
Everybody here is insane

Standing right in front of me
Step right up and take a shot
Say your piece or... fuck off

Shit talk, non-stop
Gimme everything you got
Everybody here is insane
Oh, shit talk, non-stop
Gimme everything you got
Everybody knows I'm a heartbreaking son of a bitch
Everybody knows I'm a heartbreaking son of a bitch
Oh, yeah, everybody knows I'm a heartbreaking son of a bitch

Hahahahahahaha
Uh
C-c-c-c-c-c-c-come on
Alright

8. Be Somebody

I've heard of all the same old stories
And I've walked along the same old avenues
I know the pavement doesn't move
So if we leave here, then what we got to lose?

I wanna be somebody
I wanna leave this town
I wanna be somebody
Forever
I wanna be somebody
I wanna find what's ours
I wanna be somebody
Forever
I wanna be someone
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

It's time for us to choose a new direction
But I know it's more difficult for you
For the record you've been the best thing that could happen
If you can't decide then I know the reason why

I wanna be somebody
I wanna leave this town
I wanna be somebody
Forever
I wanna be somebody
I wanna find what's ours
I wanna be somebody
Forever
I wanna be someone
I wanna be someone

I wanna be somebody
I wanna leave this town
I wanna be somebody
Forever
I wanna be somebody
I wanna find what's ours
I wanna be somebody
Forever
I wanna be someone
I wanna be someone

I wanna be somebody
I wanna find what's ours
I wanna be somebody
Forever
I wanna be someone
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

9. Can't Let Go

Don't speak, just listen
You don't know what ya been missing
Don't cry, stop running
Don't move, 'cause I'm coming

You don't hear what I hear when you talk to me
Don't feel what I feel when you touch me
You don't see what I see when you look at me
You're the one, you're the one, you're the one for me

Can't let go
Would you run, run, if I let you go
Oh woah oh, oh woah oh
Am I crazy, crazy, let me know
Oh woah oh, oh woah oh
I'll never let you go

Can't let go

Lay back, no hurry
It's all fine, don't you worry
I see you, you're so pretty
I always knew that you'd wait for me

Well I know how you feel 'cause I feel for you
I know by your tears that you want me to
I know that you know that I'd kill for you
I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man for you

Can't let go
Would you run, run, if I let you go
Oh woah oh, oh woah oh
Am I crazy, crazy, let me know
Oh woah oh, oh woah oh

And now you know me I can't let you go
Let you go

10. The Price We Pay

I've been thinking of what could have been
I've been thinking of the life that we're living now
I've been waiting for the sign to go away
I've been holding back the moment that I leave this place

We're up on a roll and it's taking its toll but it's too late to stop now

Again, here comes the rain
I say, it's the price that we pay for us
So tick with the times I'll keep writing these rhymes in the hope that I'll see you back home
I say, it's the price that we pay for us

Hoping that you'll be around when I get home
Hoping that you'll see the reason that I'm gone
Holding down this thing ain't easy at the best of times
Time is just like string 'cause when it's here it's just passing by

It's taking its toll but we're both in control so just keep by my side

Again, here comes the rain
I say, it's the price that we pay for us
So tick with the times I'll keep writing these rhymes in the hope that I'll see you back home
I say, it's the price that we pay for us

So forgive me when I leave once again
We'll get through this somehow in the end, in the end, in the end

Again, here comes the rain
Again, here comes the rain
I say, it's the price that we pay for us
So tick with the times I'll keep writing these rhymes in the hope that I'll see you back home
I say, it's the price that we pay for us
For us

11. Jump Back

Oh
Yeah yeah
Mmm
Woah

My little England went to London in the summer time
With a painted up guitar and a new disguise
Why'd you look at me like that, and as a matter of fact
We're on the same damn train but on two different tracks

I'd keep on going if you asked me to stop

Jump back, baby's in black
Cleaning up the mess with the Union Jack
Don't stop, do it again
All the dirty money that a man can spend
Jump back, yeah
Jump back, yeahyeah
Jump back, woah
Jump back, jump back

I spun a penny on the table just to kill the time
She gave me one hard look with suspicious eyes
It was already over, she was already mine
I'm not a gentleman baby at the best of times

I'll keep on going if you asked me to stop

Jump back, baby's in black
Cleaning up the mess with the Union Jack
Don't stop, do it again
All the dirty money that a man can spend
Jump back, woah
Jump back, yeahyeahyeah
Jump back
Jump back, jump back

Head shrink don't think mama drive
We're outcast at last and feel alive
In a situation that'll never change
Well I know that you'll be sorry when you see me again

Jump back, baby's in black
Cleaning up the mess with the Union Jack
Don't stop, do it again
All the dirty money that a man can spend
Jump back, woah
Jump back, yeah
Jump back, jump back
Jump back, jump back

12. Executioner's Day

Waiting for the day
Blue eyes change their shade
Walking in step just to buy back the life that I sold
Stuck in the middle I don't know which way I should go

Show me the way, show me the way from here
Tell me the truth, tell me your hopes and fears
Give me a sign, give me a sign to stay
Is this how it ends? (Is this how it ends?)
I'm just waiting for the Executioner's Day
Yeah

Praying for a change
New skies are here to stay
Building you up just to have something new I can break
Pushing you down just to see how much more you can take

Show me the way, show me the way from here
Tell me the truth, tell me your hopes and fears
Give me a sign, give me a sign to stay
Is this how it ends? (Is this how it ends?)
Woah, I'm just waiting for the Executioner's Day
Yeah, oh

Waiting for the day

Show me the way, show me the way from here
Tell me the truth, tell me your hopes and fears
Give me a sign, give me a sign to stay
Is this how it ends? (Is this how it ends?)
No, I'm just waiting for the Executioner's Day
Yeah
The Executioner's Day
