Megadeth: Blood in the Water - Live in San Diego

I should be calling collect from jail For the things I commit each night in my head

Like last night in my sleep i got to snuff you But then I woke up again safe in my little bed

No one is safe When I close my eyes

I come to take your life

I get to force your untimely disappearance Each night in my dreams when I'm fast asleep

I close my eyes and you just vanish soon as I lay down my head when I'm dead to the whole wide world

No one is safe When I close my eyes

I come to take your life

And then I wake up again

And it was all just a dream

And everything is the same

Did I give you concrete shoes And throw you off of a bridge

When I lay down to sleep, Pray your soul's mine to keep I feel you near me

Don't you sleep

Just taking a stroll, don't go to sleep Here's some toothpicks for your eyes

You always make an excellent cadaver I roll up your body in a carpet to make music in the

Trunk of my limousine wrapped up in a rug A fitting end is that I send you up the river like a punk

No one is safe When I close my eyes

I come to take your life

The angel of death is pissed off at me again Just because i got to put you out of my misery

It doesn't matter i am without fear now that you're dead I won't shed another bloody tear for you

No one is safe When I close my eyes

I come to take your life

I'm calling down the thunder

Then you'll sleep with the fishes

The answer to all of my wishes

Did I tell you I was in movies Then dump you garroted lying naked in a ditch

Everyday, another way I know you can hear me

I think you'd look nice in a Colombian necktie Should stop your tongue from wagging the dog

No more stupidity from you as I pull your tongue through For a smile from ear to ear now there's nothing to hear

No one is safe When I close my eyes

I come to take your life

And then I woke up again

And it was all just a dream

And everything is still the same

Did I give you concrete shoes And throw your body off of a bridge

When I lay down to sleep, Pray your soul's mine to keep I feel you near me

Or did I tell you I was in movies Then dump you garroted lying naked in a ditch

Everyday, another way I know you can hear me

Did I buy you the farm Put a horse head in your bed

When I lay down to sleep, Pray your soul's mine to keep I feel you near me

Everyday Everyday another way

When I lay down to sleep, Pray your soul's mine to keep I know you can hear me

I sneak in my own house It's four in the morning

I had too much to drink Said I was out with the boys

I creep in my bedroom I slip into bed

I know if I wake her, I'll wake up DEAD

I wonder, 'Will she find out?'

About the other

The other lover

Diana.

Wake up dead, you die

Wake up dead, and buried.

Wake up dead, you die

Wake up dead

Got one chance, infiltrate them Get it right, terminate them

The Panzers will, permeate them Break their pride, denigrate them

And their people, retrograde them Typhus, deteriorate them

Epidemic, devastate them Take no prisoners, cremate them

Burn!

Going to war, give'em hell D-Day, next stop Normandie

Beginning of the end We know how to and sure as shit we'll win

War is peace sure man A retreat for the damned

A playground for the demented A heaven for those who walk this world

Bereft of heart and soul

Love and war they say all is fair

Take his life But won't take his hair

Your body has parts your country spares

By the way son here's Your wheelchair

He once had to be all he could be Now he's nothing for no one nowhere to see

Funny thing, he's like you and me It's a funny thing, a funny thing

Tears streak his solemn stare Abandoned wreckage nobody cares

No one knew what would happen there No one spoke no one even dared

Don't ask what you can do for your country

Ask what your country can do for you

Take no prisoners, take no shit

Take no prisoners

Take no

SHIT

I had wrists donning slits Flowing constantly

My broken body in a wreck Wrapped around a tree

A crosswalk hit and run The finish line for me

People clutter in the gutter Take a look and see

No escaping pain You belong to me

Clinging on to life By the skin o' my teeth

No escaping pain You belong to me

Clinging on to life By the skin o' my teeth

My blood flows through the streets Deluge from the wounds

Empty jars of sleeping pills On the dresser in my room

My wet brain neighbor cranes His neck to see

In time the white lights a train Bearing down on me

No escaping pain You belong to me

Clinging on to life By the skin o' my teeth

No escaping pain You belong to me

Clinging on to life By the skin o' my teeth

I won't feel the hurt I'm not trash any longer

That that doesn't kill me Only makes me stronger

I need a ride to the morgue That's what 911 is for

So, tag my toe and don't forget Ooh to close the drawer

No escaping pain You belong to me

Clinging on to life By the skin o' my teeth

No escaping pain You belong to me

Clinging on to life By the skin o' my teeth

The quiet war has begun with silent weapons

And the new slavery is to keep the people

Poor and stupid, "Novus Ordo Seclorum"

How can there be any logic in biological war?

We all know this is wrong, but the New World Order's beating down the door

Oh, something needs to be done

There was a King (an evil king) who dreamt the wickedest of dreams

An ancient mystery no prophet could interpret

Of seven years of famine, the wolf is at my door

As predicted years ago, that that was, that is, that is no more

The word predicts the future and tells the truth about the past

Of how the world leaders would hail the new Pharaoh

Eighth False King to the throne, Washington is Next!

Disengage their minds, sabotage their health

Promote sex, and war and violence in the kindergartens

Blame the parents and teachers; it's their fault, "Annuit Coeptis"

Attack the church dynamic, attack the family

Keep the public undisciplined till nothing left is sacred and

The "have-nots" get hooked and have to go to the "haves" just to cop a fix

I am a King (an evil king) and I dream the wickedest of dreams

An ancient mystery nobody could interpret

Of seven years of famine, the wolf is at my door

As predicted years ago, that that was, that is, that is no more

The word predicts my future and tells the truth about my past

Of how the world leaders are waiting to usher in

The Eighth world power of modern Rome, Washington is Next!

00.21.16,950 --> 00.21.22,000 There was a King (an evil king) who dreamt the wickedest of dreams

00.21.22,100 --> 00.21.26,000 An ancient mystery no prophet could interpret

00.21.27,050 --> 00.21.31,500 Of seven years of famine, the wolf is at my door

00.21.31,600 --> 00.21.36,500 As predicted years ago, that that was, that is, that is no more

00.21.37,200 --> 00.21.41,700 I am a King and I dream the wildest dreams

00.21.43,600 --> 00.21.45,900 And nobody could interpret

00.21.46,800 --> 00.21.52,900 Seven empires fallen, the wolf is at my door

00.21.54,100 --> 00.21.58,200 Oh, that that was, that is, that is no more

There's something at my door Some ancient mystery

The future tells the truth about the past And I'm the eighth false King to the throne

I've got you in my crosshairs Now, aint that a bitch?

Washington, you're next!

Dawn breaks evenly today On the truth and the lie

All rise, court's in session We're hanging someone high

Justice means nothing today Now that the courts are for sale

Pick a crime from the menu; pick a sentence and defend you

And pay up the down payment called bail

The system's for sale

Kick the chair, the rope's tight Just like one quick wrench, the tooth is out

Friend or foe, I gotta hang em dead Or they'll come back around

Kick it! The court's wrong when it keeps track Of victories and defeats

The press that never rest just waits For somebody's soul they can eat

Justice means nothing today Now that the jury's for sale

Guilty or not, the verdict's a lie You're going to jail

The system has failed

Kick the chair, the rope's tight Just like one quick wrench, the tooth is out

Friend or foe, I gotta hang em dead Or they'll come back

In my hour of need, Ha, no, you're not there

And though I reached out for you, Wouldn't lend a hand

Through the darkest hour, Your grace did not shine on me

Feels so cold, very cold, No one cares for me

Did you ever think I get lonely? Did you ever think that I needed love?

Did you ever think, stop thinking You're the only one that I'm thinking of?

You'll never know how hard I tried To find my space and satisfy you too

Things will be better When I'm dead and gone

Don't try to understand, knowing you, I'm probably wrong

But, oh how I lived my life for you, Till you'd turn away

Now, as I die for you, My flesh still crawls as I breathe your name

All these years, thought I was wrong, Now I know it was you

Raise you head, raise your face, your eyes, Tell me who you think you are?

I walk, I walk alone To the promised land

There's a better place for me But it's far, far away

Everlasting life for me In a perfect world

But I got to die first, Please God send me on my way
