"Reaching fir the sky, churning up the ground."
Bad Company - Rock 'N' Roll Fantasy
 
She pours the milk into the cats saucer, I'm John Wayne as I'm walking towards her, she'd like to dance but not this minute, she's the fish I'd like to fillet. Squeeze 
"...The word was comin’ down, down on Lonely Street.
That the bad man was a dead man if he crossed my trail.
Every night I’d walk up and down this Lonely Street.
I get stinkin’ drunk, and always in jail.
One night they threw me in with a man they called the mangler, he was caught on the street makin’ some old whore.
I remember he was quite proud of that,,,So half-crazed I shot him,
And I cried in the blood on that jailhouse floor..."

KANSAS, "Lonely Street"- Song for America
"...Now I have you with me, under my power
Our love grows stronger now with every hour
Look into my eyes, you will see who I am
my name is Lucifer, please take my hand..."

BLACK SABBATH, N.I.B./Basically
"...Can you feel it, see it, hear it today?
if you can’t, then it doesn’t matter anyway
you will never understand it cuz it happens too fast
and it feels so good, it’s like walking on glass

it’s so cool, it’s so hip, it’s alright
it’s so groovy, it’s outta sight
you can touch it, smell it, taste it so sweet
but it makes no difference cuz it knocks you off your feet

You want it all but you can’t have it.

it's crying', bleedin’, lying on the floor
so you lay down on it and you do it some more
you’ve got to share it, so you dare it
then you bare it and you tear it

You want it all but you can’t have it. It’s in your face but you can’t grab it

It’s alive, afraid, a lie, a sin
it’s magic, it’s tragic, it’s a loss, it’s a win
it's dark, it’s moist, it’s a bitter pain
it’s sad it happened and it’s a shame

You want it all but you can’t have it. It’s in your face but you can’t grab it

What is it?
It’s it
What is it?..."

FAITH NO MORE, EPIC.
