A blinding phenomenon lights up the darkened sky
You think of U.F.O.'s "saucers" that rush by
Photographs are taken, the public is informed
You trust in veracity but laugh at you with scorn
Beware of the man in black, they rule the poison of darkness
Beware of the man in black, the creeping snake that lies
Beware of the man in black, staying black for all eternity
Beware of the man in black, lackeys to the lord of lies
You don't let rule the lie where the truth should be the law
So pale and blackdressed men are knocking at your door
They use intimidation
Tumbling Dice
Hey let him follow you down,
Way underground wind and he's bound.
Bound to follow you down,
Just a dead beat right off the street.
Bound to follow you down.
Well the ballrooms and smelly bordellos
And dressing rooms filled with parasites.
On stage the band has got problems,
They're a bag of nerves on first nights.
He ain't tied down to no home town,
Yeah, and he thought he was wreckless.
You think he's bad, he thinks you're mad,
Yeah, and the guitar player gets restless.
And his coat is torn and frayed,
It's seen much better days.
Just as long as the guitar plays
Let it steal your heart away,
Let it steal your heart away.
Joe's got a cough, sounds kind a rough,
Yeah, and the codeine to fix it.
Doctor prescribes, drug store supplies,
Who's gonna help him to kick it?
Well his coat is torn and frayed,
It`s seen much better days.
Just as long as the guitar plays
Let it steal your heart away,
Let it steal your heart away.
