I'm comin' in hot, comin' in real hot Comin' in dead set, sure shot Go on get that rock'n'roll van out of the lot I'm comin' in hot, comin' in smokin' Comin' in stone cold, on a mission Gotta get that rock'n'roll band back on the road, back in submission Comin' in hot Comin' in bothered Comin' in 'Lord have mercy' Gotta shake that rock'n'roll out of my body Comin' in wrecked, comin' in uptight, undone, Gotta add a 9 to 5 to my stack! I’m comin' in set, comin' in drippin' Comin' in so-so-soakin' wet, Hard to snatch them rock'n'roll chains from my neck Comin' on up! Comin' up one brick, one block, One lick, one shot, one lock, stock, barrelling on a rock, once around the sun, twice around the clock! I'm going' on out, I'm goin' out sippin' I'm goin' out soakin' to the bone, Gotta wring that rock'n'roll out before I get on home

Starting a song is a bitch and a half Looking for love, every which way the wrong path Lines into paper, pressure from the pen Spilling some ink helps a mind on the mend Don't wait too long you'll get in your own way It doesn't matter what people say Existential dread, ah merde! Strummin' along ain't so easy to do Strings ain't enough to convey what you've been through Countin' it out, 1, 2, 3, 4, Starts getting old, yet you still ask me for more Plead it out loud, you can chant, you can pray It wouldn't sound if your voice went away Existential dread, every fiber, every thread Existential heat, drummin' to my own beat! Most days I don't know just what I am after Harness the skills yet I am not their master Dreaming of days I could just float away Chessboard with too many pieces at play Don't sit and wait to be struck by an arrow Cut through the flesh, through the bone, through the marrow To finish the song's easier said than fun Dare skip a beat, come completely undone Being alive is a contract we don't sign You wouldn't know if you ran out of time Keeping the beat, 1, 2, 3, 4 Kick up a tone, when A becomes a bore Keeping it loose while walking the tightrope Doin' the rhumba ain’t no way to cope Back in the van driving home from the pits Feel like Jean-Claude Van Damme pulling out of the splits Kicks and punches, slaps and hits, Gotta keep dancing til you land the backflip Existential dread, I'm hanging on by a thread Existential threat, losing end of the bet Existential heat, burnt the souls, on them coals, burnt the soles off my feet! Drummin' 2 my own beat Existential threat, losing end of the bet

Tik tok it's give-a-fuck o'clock, were you on vacation? Had I known you were a traitor from the start, Would've relieved you of your station! Emergency intervention for immediate attention! Emergency call should've been nothing at all! Tik tok its get on up o'clock, you're missing in action Did you know you'd be the tailor to your own damnation? You showed yourself out threw away the key Emergency intervention, disbelief in suspension Emergency intervention, dissatisfaction Emergency intervention, caught up in distraction Emergency intervention, knowing your bad intention Emergency ever after, no one plans for disaster Emergency call, should've been nothing at all!

You better wake up! Stuck going nowhere and nowhere is comin' fast When I first met you, things moved a mile a year Now they move a mile a minute I've always been the one To live a life of no return on the back of a hurricane Tell me to slow it down Take a breather, put it on the back burner That's alright, that's ok You didn't plan on giving me a break anyway You better slow down 10 second stops on a bullet train ain't enough to get off Always on the run, these are the times I wanna believe That there'll be a way, always a way for me to leave The breaks are shot and you can smell em' from inside the car That ain't right, you know that Sooner or later wake up feels like a heart attack! You don't allow yourself happiness in the present 'cause you're dwelling in the imminent future You don't see what you have here is as near a lottery win But you don't spend it, you don't spend it... Now after so long, Out of sight, out of mind, More often the case most of the time I don't sleep, you know that I miss you, it's a fact Always on the run, these are the times I wanna believe That there'll be a way, always a way for me to leave Always on the run these are the times I wanna leave Didn't think you'd be the one to take the air I breathe Stuck going nowhere and nowhere is comin' fast You don't sleep, I know that Wild and wired, watching your back, Night & day I wasn't planning on catching a break anyway You don't allow yourself happiness in the present 'Cause you're dwelling in the imminent future You don't see what you have here is as near a lottery win But you don't spend it.... Wake up! So long, out of sight, out of mind More often the case most of the time
