I got lost in dreams of Zihuatanejo
and fumbled spare change in the coroner's playzone.
I spent three wishes wishing for a change
I knew I wouldn't see for the rest of my days.
I broke a bottle on the neck of a security play guard
and let all my dogs loose into the scrapyard.
I wasn't playing anymore and it was time for a change
that would rock a generation for a million days.
I'm the nails on the chalkboard and the hands in the dark,
I'm the killer in the curtains and the monster at the park.
I'm the blood in your eyes and the smoke in your lungs,
I'm the faltering underdog but I've already won.
As the walls came down and the border fell
and I met with the devils I know too well,
the chips were down and I felt the fold
but I played my cards and I went in cold.
The room wasn't hot, but Satan started to sweat;
beads of fire got his face all red.
I'd won the bet and forced his hand and a thousand shouts barreled through the land.
I'm the nails on the chalkboard and the hands in the dark,
I'm the killer in the curtains and the monster at the park.
I'm the blood in your eyes and the smoke in your lungs,
I'm the faltering underdog but I've already won.
