[Verse 1]
I want to reach out and touch the sky
I want to touch the sun, but I don’t need to fly
I’m gonna climb up every mountain of the moon
And find the dish that ran away with the spoon
[Verse 2]
I’ve crossed the oceans turned every bend
I found the plastic and the gold at rainbow’s end
I’ve seen thru magic and through life’s reality
I’ve lived a thousand years and never found the key
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Got no religion, don’t need no friends
Got all I want and I don’t need to pretend
Don’t try to reach me, ’cause I’ll tear up your mind
I’ve seen the future and I’ve left it behind
[Verse 1]
You seen life through distorted eyes, you know you had to learn
The execution of your mind, you really had to turn
The race is run, the book is read, the end begins to show
The truth is out, the lies are old, but you don't want to know
[Chorus]
Nobody will ever let you know
When you ask the reasons why
They just tell you that you're on your own
Fill your head all full of lies
[Verse 2]
The people who have crippled you, you wanna see them burn
The gates of life have closed on you and there's just no return
You're wishing that the hands of doom could take your mind away
And you don't care if you don't see again the light of day
[Chorus]
Nobody will ever let you know
When you ask the reasons why
They just tell you that you're on your own
Fill your head all full of lies, you bastards!
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Where can you run to? What more can you do?
No more tomorrow, life is killing you
Dreams turn to nightmares, Heaven turns to Hell
Burnt out confusion, nothing more to tell, yeah
Everything around you, what's it coming to
God knows as your dog nose, bog blast all of you
Sabbath, bloody sabbath, nothing more to do
Living just for dying, dying just for you, yeah
[Instrumental Outro]
[Verse 1]
(I hide–I hide–I hide–)
I hide myself inside the shadows of shame
The silent symphonies were playing their game
My body echoed to the dreams of my soul
It started something that I could not control
Where can I run to now, the joke is on me
No sympathizing God, it’s insanity, yeah
[Refrain]
Why don't you just get out of my life, yeah?
Why don't you just get out of my life, now?
Why doesn't everybody leave me alone, now?
Why doesn't everybody leave me alone, yeah?
[Verse 2]
(Obsessed–obsessed–obsessed–)
Obsessed with fantasy, possessed with my schemes
I mixed reality with pseudo-God dreams
The ghost of violence was something I’d seen
I sold my soul to be the human obscene
How could this poison be the dream of my soul?
How did my fantasies take complete control, yeah?
[Refrain]
Why don't you just get out of my life, yeah?
Why don't you just get out of my life, now?
Why doesn't everybody leave me alone, now?
Why doesn't everybody leave me alone, yeah?
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 3]
Well, I feel something’s taking me I don’t know where
It’s like a trip inside a separate mind
The ghost of tomorrow from my favorite dream
Is telling me to leave it all behind
Feel it slipping away, slipping in tomorrow
Gotta get to happiness, want no more of sorrow
[Chorus]
Realised when to hide
How I tried to get away from you, now
Now am I right if I fight
That I might just get away from you, now
Sting me!
[Verse 4]
Well, I feel something’s giving me the chance to return
It’s giving me the chance of saving my soul
Pictures of demigod are fading away
I’m going backward, but I’m in control
Feel it slipping away, slipping in tomorrow
Getting back to sanity, providence of sorrow
[Chorus]
Was it wise to disguise
How I tried to get away from you, now?
Is there a way that I can pay
Or is it true I have to stay with you, now?
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
How I lied, went to hide
How I tried to get away from you now
Am I right in my fight
That I might just get away from you now
Suck me!
[Verse 5]
I’m really digging schizophrenia, the best of the earth
I’ll chase my soul in the fires of hell
Peace of mind eluded me, but now it’s all mine
I simply try, but he wants me to fail
Feel it slipping away, slipping in tomorrow
Now I’ve found my happiness, providence of sorrow
[Chorus]
No more lies, I got wise
I despise the way I worshiped you
Now I’m free, let me see
That now instead, I won’t be led by you, now
Free!
[Instrumental Outro]
I want to reach out and touch the sky
I want to touch the sun, but I don’t need to fly
I’m gonna climb up every mountain of the moon
And find the dish that ran away with the spoon
