The flickering TV reflects in the needle   Someone's little baby just overdosed   The highway patrol just killed a speeder   Who's responsible for all this grief?   Who puts the guns in the hands of the killers?   The cynic just reached another high!   Innocence lies slowly dying in a sad and lost America      When the light goes out we just can't help but falling   You see, we all dig the dirt and we all dig the moaning   When the light goes dim and all the bad keeps coming   We all can dig \familiar smells of thousand years of torment      We get intrigued by crime, 'cause death is mystifying   See, people dig their lives, but love the art of dying   And when the mercury falls I see the soldiers coming   It's just another move in a pointless game to justify the torment      When the light goes dim it strikes without warning   It's like a wave of anger and dispair, in spirit of the moment   A man without a name will never see the morning   A million died in Africa I fear and still the world was barely yawning      I really don't know where it's coming from   I thought you loved us, but I must be wrong   Just when I thought it's gonna work out fine   You send those nameless shivers down my spine      Just when I thought that all was nice and clean   You send those demons to distort my dreams   You send the bellydancers up from hell   There's something wicked but I just can't tell      Something lurking down in the deep   But love's last warrior has fallen asleep   Tiny ripples but they travel fast   A wall of mud will be king here ever after      Another triumph for the unexpected   All rhyme and reason disconnected   Love just drowned in the wishing well   Outside a dark and dirty hotel      Nameless bodies cover the ground   Somewhere in the distance there's a barking hellhound   Dripping oil from abandoned tankers   The smiling Goddess is cold and stiff      Another triumph for the unexpected   All rhyme and reason disconnected   Love just drowned in the wishing well   Outside a dark and dirty hotel
