Six Album Lyrics by Extreme

Rise

Look around look around
look around you
Little town lost and found
where we find you
If you stay your decay
will define you oh

Come along come along
come and join us
Take a little walk
in the middle of the madness
Get your mind and your rhyme
and your reason blown

You can feel it
you can taste it
Take a bite of your life
don’t you waste it
Ride the lightning
roll the thunder
You’re the chosen one

I’m gonna lift you up up up
straight to the top
Gonna lift you up up up
then rip you apart
Gonna lift you up up up
watch you rise watch you fall
Gonna lift you up up up, Rise
up up up, Rise

Take a bow take a bow
to the new king
Ever cool is the fool
never lasting
Wanted dead or alive
every king must die

Tic toc tic toc
you’re a time bomb
World is gonna watch
as you have your final meltdown
What you were what you want
what you are no more

They can feel it
they can taste it
Eat you up spit you out
defecated
Boy wonder
trampled under
You’re the chosen one

I’m gonna lift you up up up
straight to the top
Gonna lift you up up up
then rip you apart
Gonna lift you up up up
watch you rise watch you fall
Gonna lift you up up up
Oh oh oh oh
up up up, oh oh oh oh

Want it, got it
Bought it, sold it
Bag it, tag it
Take it, leave it

You got what you want…

#Rebel

Rebel you rage
Without a cause
Fools on parade
Bearing your cross
Bury the truth
Repeat the lie
Mob is the rule
Fueling the fire

Hey, you got something to say
You talking to me as you're walking away
Hey, you got something to say
You talking to me as you're walking away

You say you want
Revolution
Talking the walk
Ready to run
Hashtag rebel
Barking your bytes
Signal virtue in bold
Kiss it goodbye

Hey, you got something to say
You talking to me as you're walking away
Hey, you got something to say
You talking to me as you're walking away
La la la la la la la...

In-sti-ga-tor
Ag-i-ta-tor
Ra-bble rou-ser
Trou-ble ma-ker

You talking to me as you're walking away...

Hey, you got something to say
You talking to me as you're walking away
Hey, you got something to say
You talking to me as you're walking away
La la la la la la la...

In-sti-ga-tor
Trou-ble ma-ker
Rebel!

Banshee

Moon lit pale
gathering gale
Siren sings
wail on a wing
Calling my name
again and again
haunting refrain

Fire in Her eyes
She-Devil in disguise
(Bewitched)
I’m bewildered beguiled
Caught up in a dream
somewhere in-between
rhyme and reason
disbelieving
BANSHEE screaming
falling from grace
I’m finally face to fate

She…
Banshee…
She screams…
Banshee be the death of me

Angel bring
death and Her sting
Serpentine kiss
narcotic bliss
Pleasure pain
mainlining vein
My my my my Heroine

Lost in Her lament
hell or heaven sent
Jesus make my dying bed
Caught up in a dream
somewhere in-between
Head is spinnin’
body’s willin’
Cheshire grinnin’
falling from grace
She’s calling out from the grave

She…
Banshee…
She screams…
Caught up in a dream
Banshee got me down on my
knees… Banshee hear me screamin’
Banshee… She screams…
Banshee got me down
six feet underground
Banshee be the death of me

Other Side Of The Rainbow

So you’re not gonna fall again
heart still recovering
Happy ever after ends
you’re not gonna try and pretend

“It’s better to have loved and lost
than never to have loved, loved at all’

Maybe, take a chance on me baby
you might think that I’m crazy
Follow me maybe we could find
the other side of the rainbow
Come with me don’t just say no
no regret let your heart go
I believe maybe we could find
our faith in love again

Yeah you heard it all before
yeah you don’t believe in love anymore, no
Oh your fairytale has left you
Yeah left you with no reason or rhyme

You want to leave it all behind
keeping it out of sight and out of mind

Maybe, take a chance on me baby
you might think that I’m crazy
Follow me maybe we could find
the other side of the rainbow
Come with me don’t just say no
no regret let your heart go
I believe maybe we could find
our faith in love again

I’ve been there before
love was nevermore
ooh, you’re not the only one
Wish upon a star
wake up where the clouds
are far behind you…

Small Town Beautiful

She’s leaving home, bye bye
no she won’t keep them waiting
Dreams she’ll follow, so high
Birds are born to fly
Never alone, follow your lead
home is where your heart will be

Up on a wing and a prayer
you dare to dream (always remember)
No matter how far you get you’ll always be

Small town beautiful
Small town beautiful
What’s beautiful is you don’t even know
It’s hidden in your heart and your soul
Small town beautiful

Your eyes
shine brighter than big cities
You’re one of a kind, that smile
So much more than pretty
Let that light be your guide
Inside, yeah that’s where they’ll find you

They could offer the world
and all its gold (and all that glitters)
Her only treasure on earth home sweet home
She’s my…

Small town beautiful
Small town beautiful
What’s beautiful is you don’t even know
It’s hidden in your heart and your soul
Small town beautiful

The Mask

We’re all sinners we’re all saints
we’re all the people we say we ain’t
We’re all winners and we’re all cheats
we’re all the things that we want to defeat

We’re all innocent and we’re all pure
we’re all deceased and we’re all the cure
We’re all living and we’re already dead
we’re everything that we need to pretend

Rip of your mask and show me who you are
show me who you are, show me who you are
Rip of my mask show you who I am
show you who I am, show you who I am…

We’re all secrets and we’re all told
we’re all the things that we wish to behold
We’re all rich and we’re all poor
we’re all searching for what it’s all for

We’re all doubters and we’re all faith
we’re all the things that we want to replace
We’re all fiction and we’re all fact
we’re all the good and we’re all the bad

Rip of your mask and show me who you are
show me who you are, show me who you are
Rip of your mask and show me who you are
show me who you are, show me who you are

Rip of my mask show you who I am
show you who I am, show you who I am…
Rip of my mask show you who I am
show you who I am, show you who I am…

I’ll take the blame for all my sins
but I won’t take the hate
for what you imagine…
what you imagine…
what you imagine…

Thicker Than Blood

Transcending space and time
boundary or borderline
No nationality
tribe or ethnicity
No link or lineage
bloodline nor heritage
No genealogy
fruit from a family

Love is all, all you need
Love is all, let it bleed
Love is all, all you need
Love is all, let it bleed…

Love is Thicker than blood
Love is Thicker than blood
Love is Thicker than blood
Love is thicker than…
Love is Thicker than blood
Blood is never enough
Blood is never enough
Blood is never enough
Love is thicker than…
Love is Thicker than blood

Does not discriminate
with color creed or race
No substitution
or blood transfusion
Blood running through your vain
(Blood) taking thy name in vain
(Blood) Faith Hope and Charity
(Blood) blood has no guarantee

Just take a look around
there’s so much to be found
open your heart and you’ll find in you

Love is all, all you need
love is all, let it bleed
Love is all, all you need
love is all, let it bleed…

Love is Thicker than blood
Love is Thicker than blood
Love is Thicker than blood
Love is thicker than…
Love is Thicker than blood
Blood is never enough
Blood is never enough
Blood is never enough
Love is thicker than…
Love is Thicker than blood

Save Me

Nobody told you
it was gonna be easy
nobody told you
it was gonna be fair
You’re not the only one
half cocked and loaded gun
Why pull the trigger
cause the world don’t care

Kiss it all goodbye
Out of sight and mind
Leave it all behind

You put your money
on yourself a safe bet
everyone looking
for a guarantee
Go on and roll the dice
coming up snake eyes
the game you play
ain’t gonna set you free

Save me from myself
Save me from this hell
Help me heaven I’m forsaken
Lay me down to die
Cleanse me of these lies
I’ve become what I despise
Take me undertaker take me
Lay me down to die

You took a bite of bark
of good and evil
sucked on the bitter pit
than spit it out
The world and all its gold
it can’t buy back your soul
begging for mercy
to a sacred cow

Spare me all your tears
For someone else who cares
Yeah take me as I am and just

Save me from myself
Save me from this hell
Help me heaven I’m forsaken
Lay me down to die
Cleanse me of these lies
I’ve become what I despise
Take me undertaker take me
Lay me down to die

X Out

Forgive me Father
Show me your unfailing love
There is no other
Have Mercy on your wayward son

From grace I fell
Opened up my eyes in hell
Brimstone burning, crying out in agony
Father send someone
Quench the fire from my tongue
Where the worm's eternal
And, I'm crying out in agony

Sunburns out and it fades to black
There's no way I'm gonna make it back
Out of time and I'm running out of light

X Out X Out, Faith
X Out X Out, Hope
X Out X Out, Love

Behold a flower
Flourishing then falls away
Know not the hour
Number of or, length of days

Save your breath
On a stage a strutter frets
Just another tale being told by an idiot
Vanity
Full of sound and fury
Whistling past your weathered epitaph

I'm never coming back
I'm never coming back
Sunburns out and it fades to black
There's no way I'm gonna make it back
Out of time and I'm running out of light

X Out X Out, Faith
X Out X Out, Hope
X Out X Out, Love
X Out X Out, Faith
X Out X Out, Hope
X Out X Out, Love...

Rich man blessed in purple thread
Poor man begging for a crust of bread
Like the poor the rich are born to die...

One man suffering forever damned
The other in the bosom of Abraham
Looking on beyond the great divide...

Darkness drapes both sun and moon
After the rain storm clouds return
Strong men bow and the house keeper's quake...

Severed is the silver chord
Broken like the golden gourd
Dust returns to death from whence it came...

X Out X Out, Faith
X Out X Out, Hope
X Out X Out, Love
X Out X Out, Faith
X Out X Out, Hope
X Out X Out, Love...

Femme Fatales you got the looks that kill
Beautiful girls rock my world
Shapes sizes drop dead curves

I’d wave it, make my wish come true

You and I soaking up the sunshine
Baby in no time, maybe you can be mine…

Here's To The Losers

Hey, you gave it your best shot
you gave all you got
it wasn’t quite enough

At least, you got into the ring
you took another swing
gave it everything

You, you cannot win them all
we all have dropped the ball at one time
game on the line
High, hold your head up high
I’ll tell you why
a winner knows what it’s like to lose
a loser, what it’s takes to win

Here’s to the losers
and here’s to the ones who fallen
Get up, you’re not the only
Get up, you’re one of the many
Chin up, there are no excuses
Drink up, here’s to the losers
Here’s to the losers
Here’s to the losers

We, we’ve all been there before
won battles lost the war
left it all out on the floor

No, no need to be ashamed
there’s no excuse or blame
that’s how you play the game

I, I tasted victory
the thrill and agony of defeat
its all bittersweet
High, hold your head up high
I’ll tell you why
a winner knows what it’s like to lose
a loser what it’s takes to win…

Here’s to the losers
and here’s to the ones who fallen
Get up, you’re not the only
Get up, you’re one of the many
Chin up, there are no excuses
Drink up, here’s to the losers
Here’s to the losers
Here’s to the losers
Here’s to the losers…

a winner knows what it’s like to lose
a loser what it’s takes to win…
