Yes, I’m gonna get on by
Wanna take ’em all along
I wanna take ’em all along with me, yeah, yeah
When my love said to me
Meet me down by the gallow tree
For it’s sad news I bring
About this old town and all that it’s offering
Some say troubles abound
Some day soon they’re gonna pull the old town down
One day we’ll return here
When the Belfast Child sings again
Brothers, sisters, where are you now?
As I look for you right through the crowd
All my life here I’ve spent
With my faith in God the Church and the Government
But there’s sadness abound
Some day soon they’re gonna pull the old town down
One day we’ll return here
When the Belfast Child sings again
When the Belfast Child sings again
So come back Billy, won’t you come on home?
Come back Mary, you’ve been away so long
The streets are empty, and your mother’s gone
The girls are crying, it’s been oh so long
And your father’s calling, come on home
Won’t you come on home, won’t you come on home?
Left in the darkness
Here on your own
Woke up a memory
Feeding the pain
You cannot deny it
There’s nothing to say
It’s all that you need to fire away
Oh damn, the war is coming
Oh damn, you feel you want it
Oh damn, just bring it on today
You can’t live without the fire
It’s the heat that makes you strong
‘Cause you’re born to live and fight it all the way
You can’t hide what lies inside you
It’s the only thing you know
You’ll embrace it and never walk away
Don’t walk away
Don’t walk away
Don’t walk away
Don’t walk away
Raised in this madness
You’re on your own
It made you fearless
Nothing to lose
Dreams are a drug here
They get in your way
That’s what you need to fight day by day
Oh damn, the war is coming
Oh damn, you feel you want it
Oh damn, just bring it on today
You can’t live without the fire
It’s the heat that makes you strong
‘Cause you’re born to live and fight it all the way
You can’t hide what lies inside you
It’s the only thing you know
You’ll embrace it and never walk away
Don’t walk away!
(You need not fear us
Unless you have a dark heart
A vile one who preys on the innocent
I promise
You can’t hide forever in the empty darkness
For we will hunt you down like the animals you are
And pull you into the very bowels of hell)
Oh damn, the war is coming
Oh damn, you feel you want it
Oh damn, just bring it on today
You can’t live without the fire
It’s the heat that makes you strong
‘Cause you’re born to live and fight it all the way
You can’t hide what lies inside you
It’s the only thing you know
You’ll embrace it and never walk away
Don’t walk away
Don’t walk away
Don’t walk away
Don’t walk away
I like your taste in tunes and everything you ooze
The tempo of your beat, your bleeding melody
And no one can control that old time rock ‘n’ roll
No rule of gravity, and hey
Can I follow you back to your room?
Watching you bloom in the light of the moon
Can I follow you back to your arms?
Wash it all off in the river of your heart
There’s a million different songs that I’ve learned to sing
Watching you bloom in the light of the moon
Your holiness will never be lost on me
So reach out in love and don’t be a stranger
Don’t be a stranger now
Turn up the stereo, the sound is taking hold
You dance like no one sees, a private galaxy
The music of your soul, a symphony composed
Your words aren’t wasted on me, and hey
Can I follow you back to your room?
Watching you bloom in the light of the moon
Can I follow you back to your arms?
Wash it all off in the river of your heart
There’s a million different songs that I’ve learned to sing (watching you)
Watching you bloom in the light of the moon
Your holiness will never be lost on me
So reach out in love (reach out) and don’t be a stranger
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Can I follow you back to your room? (I’m gonna follow you down)
Watching you bloom in the light of the moon
Can I follow you back to your arms? (Take me back to you)
Wash it all off in the river of your heart
There’s a million different songs that I’ve learned to sing
Watching you bloom in the light of the moon
Your holiness will never be lost on me
So reach out in love and don’t be a stranger
I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did
You fell so hard
I’ve learned the hard way
To never let it get that far
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don’t get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid
I lose my way
And it’s not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that’s weakness in your eyes
I’m forced to fake
A smile, a laugh everyday of my life
My heart can’t possibly break
When it wasn’t even whole to start with
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don’t get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid
I watched you die
I heard you cry every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry in the middle of the night
For the same damn thing
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don’t get hurt
Because of you
I try my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don’t know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I’m ashamed of my life because it’s empty
Because of you
I am afraid
Because of you (oh)
Because of you (mm, oh)
Made a wrong turn, once or twice
Dug my way out, blood and fire
Bad decisions, that’s alright
Welcome to my silly life
Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood
Miss knowing it’s all good, it didn’t slow me down
Mistaken, always second guessing, underestimated
Look, I’m still around
Pretty, pretty please, don’t you ever, ever feel
Like you’re less than fuckin’ perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel like you’re nothing
You’re fuckin’ perfect to me
You’re so mean (you’re so mean)
When you talk (when you talk)
About yourself, you were wrong
Change the voices (change the voices)
In your head (in your head)
Make them like you instead
So complicated, look happy, you’ll make it
Filled with so much hatred, such a tired game
It’s enough, I’ve done all I can think of
Chased down all my demons, I’ve seen you do the same, oh
Pretty, pretty please, don’t you ever, ever feel
Like you’re less than fuckin’ perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel like you’re nothing
You’re fuckin’ perfect to me
The whole world’s scared, so I swallow the fear
The only thing I should be drinking is an ice cold beer
So cool in line, and we try, try, try
But we try too hard and it’s a waste of my time
Done looking for the critics ’cause they’re everywhere
They don’t like my jeans, they don’t get my hair
Exchange ourselves and we do it all the time
Why do we do that, why do I do that?
Why do I do that?
Yeah, oh, oh pretty, pretty please
Pretty, pretty please, don’t you ever, ever feel
Like you’re less than fuckin’ perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel like you’re nothing
You’re fuckin’ perfect to me, yeah
You’re perfect, you’re perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel like you’re nothing
You’re fuckin’ perfect to me

AUDIENCE APPRECIATION PARTIES:
Will you hold the line?
When every one of them has given up and given in, tell me
In this house of mine
Nothing ever comes without a consequence or cost, tell me
Will the stars align?
Will heaven step in will it save us from our sin, will it?
‘Cause this house of mine stands strong
That’s the price you pay
Leave behind your heart and cast away
Just another product of today
Rather be the hunter than the prey
And you’re standing on the edge face up
‘Cause you’re a natural
A beating heart of stone
You gotta be so cold
To make it in this world
Yeah, you’re a natural
Living your life cutthroat
You gotta be so cold
Yeah, you’re a natural
Will somebody
Let me see the light within the dark trees shadowing
What’s happening?
Looking through the glass find the wrong within the past knowing
Oh, we are the youth
Cut until it bleeds inside a world without the peace, face it
A bit of the truth, the truth
That’s the price you pay
Leave behind your heart and cast away
Just another product of today
Rather be the hunter than the prey
And you’re standing on the edge face up
‘Cause you’re a natural
A beating heart of stone
You gotta be so cold
To make it in this world
Yeah, you’re a natural
Living your life cutthroat
You gotta be so cold
Yeah, you’re a natural
Deep inside me
I’m fading to black I’m fading
Took an oath by the blood on my hand won’t break it
I can taste it the end is upon us I swear
Gonna make it
I’m gonna make it
Natural
A beating heart of stone
You gotta be so cold
To make it in this world
Yeah, you’re a natural
Living your life cutthroat
You gotta be so cold
Yeah, you’re a natural
Natural
Yeah, you’re a natural
Lay where you’re laying
Don’t make a sound
I know they’re watching
They’re watching
All the commotion
The kiddie-like play
Has people talking
They’re talking
You
Your sex is on fire
The dark of the alley
The breaking of day
Head while I’m driving
I’m driving
Soft lips are open
Them knuckles are pale
Feels like you’re dying
You’re dying
You
Your sex is on fire
Consumed
With what’s just transpired
Hot as a fever
Rattling bones
I could just taste it
Chased it
But it’s not forever
But it’s just tonight
Oh, we’re still the greatest
The greatest
The greatest
And you
Your sex is on fire
You
Your sex is on fire, ah, ah
Consumed
With what’s just transpired
And you
Your sex is on fire
Consumed
With what’s just transpired
