Lock Up The Wolves
Album - 7 maggio 1990 - Debaser id 29005

You say you've never seen the light before
Does anyone believe you
Don't let them hear you say anymore
Nothing's really safe around here

We are an imitation of the crown
We never turn the pages
They cannot let your spirit touch the ground
And nothing's gonna change around here, no

Crack in the ceiling
Hole in the wall
They bend you over
But you won't crawl away

You've got two in the bushes
One in the hand
They'd make you over
But they can't understand you
You're always gonna be the wild one

Pretend that all you really feel is pain
Just hide behind some sorrow
How sad
But you'd do it all again
(I guess that) Nobody changes 'round here

Cat in the cradle
Man in the moon
They'd make you over
But it's too soon to know, no

Smoke in the kitchen
Fire in the hall
The train is coming
And you can hear it calling
You're always gonna be the wild one

Crack in the ceiling
Hole in the wall
They bend you over
But you won't crawl away

You've got two in the bushes
One in the hand
They'd make you over
But they can't understand you
You're always gonna be the Wild One

There's a crack in the rainbow
There's a hole in the sky
You believed in something
Now it's just a lie, yeah

No jokes from the jester
Not a laugh from the clown
And your world is upside down, yeah

You can hide in a circle
It's a way to survive
Be another number
At least you'd be alive

Or you can ride with the gypsy
He can take you to hell
And the answers screaming
In a voice you know so well

You - you're made of fire
Never higher
You were made to run

You - you're burning higher
You've got the fire
You were born on the sun

So take a walk with a wild one
It's the way that I've found
You can turn it upside down

How do you feel right now
How does it feel to be alone
How do you feel right now
Tell me

Hey angel - what's your situation
Hey angel - oh, oh

Where would you be right now
Waiting to taste your next tomorrow
Where would you be right now
Tell me

Was the pain too strong to take it anymore
So you turned off all the lights and shut the door

Hey angel - what's your destination
Hey angel
Hey angel - we got a complication
Hey angel - oh, oh - you're my angel, my angel

How do you feel right now
How does it feel to be alone, oh
How do you feel right now
How do you feel right now

Oh angel - you're my angel, oh my angel,...

In the houses of the holy
To the middle of the mystic sea
At the cradle of the world

There's a black cat screaming
And it's not even midnight, no
At the cradle of the world

They're screaming for sanctuary
They're screaming at you
Lock up the wolves
Lock up the wolves, yeah, yeah, yeah

Now there's a cloud over heaven
And a pain out of paradise
In your corner of the world

Turn your back on the children
Does it feel like it's colder
In your corner of the world

They're screaming for sanctuary
They're screaming at you
Lock up the wolves
Lock up the wolves,...

Don't you let'em get away
Lock up the wolves before you play
Or it's over
Lock up the wolves
Don't you let'em get away
Don't you let'em get away

There's no back door to heaven
Just a front door to hell, oh
In this corner of the world

Now if you turn your back on the children
Don't you feel it getting colder
In your corner of the world

They're screaming for sanctuary
They're screaming at you
Lock up the wolves
Lock up the wolves,...

He's just an ordinary man
Never gonna live forever
So he takes it where he can

Too many nights without a day
For the sake of being clever
He almost lost his way
He always thought that he could fly
Till he was shot down from the sky
You can't walk on water - don't try
You can't walk on water - my my my

They say there's ice inside his veins
He's the man of a thousand faces
Silver spoons and golden chains
He thought his heart was made of steel
But it never started pounding
Till they strapped him to the wheel

He always thought that he could fly
Till he was shot down from the sky
No matter what you try
You can't walk on water - my my
Can't walk on water - don't let me try

Somebody said we'll make him strong
He can give us all the answers
Tell us right and show us wrong

If you believe it, it's no lie
And there is an end to summer
'Cause the winter makes it die

We never looked above his head
And so he missed the things that they said, yeah
He always thought that he could fly
Until they shot him from the sky

No matter how you try
You can't walk on water
Can't burn the sun
You can't walk on water
Not anyone

You can't, you can't, you can't
You can't, you can't, walk on water

It's just a matter of time
He was the victim and he never saw the crime
He had invisible eyes
He told you truth but you were sure of it, lies

'Cause he was twisted (you could see it)
He was twisted, all right

He was the fortunate one
He could have pulled the trigger
But he couldn't get the gun
They told him that he was blind
He didn't understand
'Cause he could see them inside

They were twisted, oh
So Twisted
You could feel it they were
Twisted
Twisted up inside

Look inside any window
Come on and see the show
It's the same generation
They set you free
But they just won't let you go - no

It was a matter of time
They told me I was guilty
So I thought I did the crime
I never learned how to cry
And when I told the truth
They were sure it was a lie
Sure that I would cry
Sure of it
Sure of it 'cause I'm so
Twisted

She's twisted up inside
They're twisted
We're twisted
And when you're twisted
There's just no place to hide away
