[Intro]
Do you want to be hypnotized?
All you have to do is move your body
In what ever way feels comfortable for you
Just let yourself sink into the groove
And move

Fix your eyes on a spot
It doesn't matter where
Just fix your eyes on one spot
Begin to relax
Feel your mind and body
Beginning to wind down
Wind down, wind down and relax

If you have any thoughts
Just let them drift through your mind
Like beautiful clouds
Across a clear blue sky
Just through your mind and away from you
Through your mind and away
As you relax
Deeper, deeper and deeper relax

Just let go of stress and tension
Let go of worry and doubt and relax
Imagine a staircase standing in front of you
With ten wide, safe stairs
Down, down to a perfect relaxation
Down to peace and contentment
Down towards the happiness that you deserve

And as I count down from ten
Take one step with each number
One step down
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
Deeper, deeper, deeper... relax
That's it... just let go, and relax

[Verse 1]
You've stolen my heart it's true
You see the shape of things to come
Why give up our lives
To the brutes and fools

Tear it all apart
You see the shape of things to come
Why this, now girl?
Will we kill each other?

[Chorus]
Like Adam in chains
I want revenge
Like Adam in chains
I want revenge
Adam in chains

[Verse 2]
They've broken your heart
Ah yeah, they're gonna tear your world apart
Why make up a lie
And believe it's true

Ah, tear it all apart
I know the shape of things to come
Why this, now girl?
Will we murder each other?

[Chorus]
Adam in chains
I want revenge
Like Adam in chains
I want revenge
Like Adam in chains
I want revenge
Want revenge

[Outro]
In the mind of a madman
There are colour explosions
An eclipse of emotion
Why tear our world apart?
Why tear it all apart?
Why tear our world apart, girl?

Billy Idol is an English rock musician, songwriter and actor. Born in Stanmore, Middlesex, Idol first achieved fame in the punk rock era as a member of the band Generation X. Unlike other British punk rock artists of his era, Idol was inspired by The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.

Idol then embarked on a successful solo career, and was a member of the MTV-driven “Second British Invasion” of the United States. A series of music videos for songs such as “Dancing With Myself”, “White Wedding”, “Rebel Yell” and “Eyes Without a Face” made him one of the first MTV stars. Idol continues to tour with guitarist Steve Stevens.

Idol’s 1987 release, “Mony Mony” reached #1 on the US top 40 charts; his songs to chart in the top 10 include: White Wedding, Eyes Without a Face, To Be a Lover and Cradle of Love.
