Motorhead - Bad Magic Lyrics
Victory Or Die
Victory or die!
What do you say what I can ever do for you
What are we gonna do to pass the time
What do you care when you find that life's unfair
Equality is just a state of mind
Believe whatever is right what's right for you tonight
You know where to draw the line
What have you done what's in your mind what do you need
Where shall we go to let it out
What have you seen, we don't know where you've been
Life so often blows your candle out
Believe in what is right, what's right for you tonight
Who knows what the f*ck it's all about
Look up and see the flying saucers cruising in the sky
I saw one myself it ain't no lie
Look down and see the road you're on as if you are on a marathon
That's the spirit victory or die
What did they say what have we learned, what do we know
What shall we do to even up the score
What do you find, if you find that you've gone blind
Darkness is a thing we've seen before
Believing is your right all right, whatever lights your light
You always end up on the killing floor
Look around and see the soldiers, see them marching off to war
Take a careful look as the swing by
They're all heroes but they don't know what they're fighting for
That's the spirit victory or die
Watch out for the monsters in the alleys of the night
They're always hungry look 'em in the eye
They're looking at your daughters, they've seen the flying saucers
You have to tell them victory or die... or die

Thunder And Lightning
What do you want from your miserable life
What do you see in a future so bright
Get what you want, do what you can
You'll get more pussy if you're in a band
I always wanted to scream in the night
I always wanted the noise and the light
Standing on stage, the thrill never fades
The ultimate rage, raving and fighting
Maybe you'll shake, maybe you'll break
None ever escaped, thunder and lightning
Life on the road isn't easy, my friend
You can remember, you can pretend
All of your dreams can really come true
All of your nightmares are waiting there too
I always wanted the dangerous life
I always wanted the outlaw delight
Step on the stage, promises made
Under the blade, crushing and biting
Maybe you'll die, maybe you'll fly
Fire in the sky, thunder and lightning
Thunder and lightning
What do you think's gonna be your reward
60 year once you're kicked in the balls
Tires are wasted, you don't get it back
Move out and pull out and always attack
I never wanted to beat tho heroes
I spent my whole life waiting myself
I'm on the stage, out of the cage
Shockin' out rage, slippin' and slidin'
Maybe you'll shiver, maybe you'll quiver
Quick on the trigger, thunder and lightning
Thunder and lightning
Thunder and lightning
Thunder and lightning

Fire Storm Hotel
I didn't see the fire
I didn't see the smoke
The only thing that speaks to me is the way the spirit spoke
I wouldn't want to be here when the shooting starts
The only way to tell the tale is shoot them through the heart
Stop and look and wonder
Breakfast in your cell
You better keep your head down
In the fire storm hotel
I want to understand it, I want to believe
The only way to make your play is roll up your sleeves
You'll never know the story, you'll never see it all
So wear a grin while the walls close in at the monsters ball
Slide in nice and quiet
Stop and listen well
Hope your luck don't give you up
At the fire storm hotel, woo
Burn
So wait and I will tell you what happened here
The hotel burned, no lessons learned, only ghosts got clear
They say the rooms are empty but I know they're not
The way things are in the hotel bar, the devil buys the shots
Look into the windows
The shadow rings the bell
Chaos rules in the empty pool
At the fire storm hotel
Take a look at all them people
They don't look too well
They burned and screamed, in a fever dream
At the fire storm hotel

Shoot Out All Of Your Lights
Show me a sign, get back in line
Show me all the tricks that you have learned
Show me some spite and if you do it right
I will show you how to kill and burn
Down in the maze every single day
Fighting and biting and this is our trade
Down in the flood we mean you no good
Fight (fight), fight (fight), we fight alright
We are the ones to kiss you goodnight
Die (die), die (die), time goes by
We will shoot out all of your lights
Show me a clue, maybe give me two
Give me everything that I deserve
Show me some hate, before it's too late
And I will show you how to keep your nerve
Down in our holes we burn like coals
Eating the fear of death in your souls
Down in our caves no one is saved
Fight (fight), fight (fight), we fight all right
We are the ones to kiss you goodnight
Die, die, time goes by
We will shoot out all of your lights
Tell me the news, something I can use
Something red-hot to light my fuse
Show me some teeth, sometime next week
I will show you all kinds of abuse
Down here in hell, under our spell
Burning and screaming and laughing as well
Here in the dark, we swim with the sharks
Fight (fight), fight (fight), we fight alright
We are the ones to kiss you goodnight
Die (die), die (die), time goes by
We will shoot out all of your lights
Smite (smite), smite (smite), shine your lights
We are the ones to give you a fright
Die (die), die (die), time goes by
We shoot out all of your lights

The Devil
What is it you're looking for
I don't think you will ever find the gold
What got your curiosity
My name is on the list of places you should never go
The Devil, he looks at you
The Devil, steals your breath
You'll never know the law
Go, look into the face of death
Are we still talking now
I know you'll never tell another soul
Is it a catastrophe
Be my friend and tell me what nobody else should know
The Devil knows you now
The Devil will break your neck
Nobody will hear your call
Go, stare into the face of death
Come on
If you speak I'm out of here
I don't know you how can that be so
If you want I can be sincere
Speak my name and I will tell you everything I know
The Devil, seeks your soul
The Devil, see what you get
Abandon all hope now
Go, look into the face of death
Right now

Electricity
Don't speak of your beliefs
They are yours to keep
Memories will fade
As time goes by
Remember just yourself
Me or someone else
You will be the only one to try
Freedom to believe don't cost a thing
Innocence should not be bought and sold
Kiss a bolt of lightning
It'll make you sing
Electricity deep in your soul
Don't tell me who I am
I don't give a damn
Your dreams are nothing
You're a nowhere man
Think you're really smart
Think you're pure in heart
Go ahead and tell yourself you're not
Disbelief don't ever cost a dime
Innocence should not be bought and sold
You need an open mind
Shiver up your spine
Electricity deep in your soul
Don't speak of time gone by
Don't even try
My memories are skulls and vultures in the sky
I remember everyone,
Tall or deaf, and dumb
Now I am the only one passed by
Freedom to believe don't have a price
Innocence never gets too old
You need a bolt of rock
Severe toxic shock
Electricity deep in your soul

Evil Eye
Look at me, what do you want?
I'm a man, as you well know
Evil in the air tonight, we better make it right
Dollar for my mercy, tell you what I know
Look see, look see, see you down upon your knees
I see sorrow coming down, quick and sly
You must leave don't come back, there is something on your track
Bad magic, evil eye
You better watch your step
Time be getting hard if you don't go
Rattlesnake in your hand, don't you flinch, be a man
One silver dollar, help you if I can
Look around, look around, look for sign there on the ground
I see sorrow in your way by and by
On your way lonesome road, poor boy, heavy load
Bad magic, evil eye
Swamp mud, can't get free
Don't look back you don't want to see
Voodoo coming on your trail if you live to tell the tale
Give me a silver dollar, I'll try to make your bail
Listen up, listen up, listen good, keep it shut
I see petrol in the fire, flame and die
Leave me now and change your shape, put a mask on your face
Bad magic, evil eye

Teach Them How To Bleed
Step into the street, all your nerves are shaking
Look over your shoulder
Better use your feet or you ain't gonna make it
It's getting colder
You better get it over now, better show your hand
Tell the world a good word, catch me if you can
Better face it all now, show 'em what you need
Let 'em come, let 'em come
Teach them how to bleed
Running down the road, chase your nervous breakdown
Everybody screaming
Better think in code, might just be a shakedown
You might be dreaming
Better get it on now, better show your face
Speak the name of Judas, caught up in the race
Better to be faithful, to your destiny
Let 'em run, let 'em run
Teach them how to bleed, hey
Going out your mind, all your life is changing
Better watch your back now
Why are you afraid? Nobody explaining
Running with the pack now
Better you get out of town, nothing left to lose
Nobody around now, one to accuse
It's the final act now, time for us to leave
Eat the sun, eat the gun
Teach them how to bleed
Give the people what they want, blood and death and guts
People so predictable, drive you f*cking nuts
Fall upon your sword now, nothing up your sleeve
Let them see, let them be
Teach 'em how to bleed

Till The End
Don't tell me what to do my friend
You'll break more hearts than you can mend
I know myself like no one else
Nothing to defend
My life is full of good advice
And you don't have to tell me twice
Living here in paradise
Your rules that I should bend
In my years my life has changed
I can't turn back the time
I can tell you just what made me change
All I know is who I am
I'll never let you down
The rest will give you trust until the end
There ain't no rules to follow
You cant predict tomorrow
I know just who my friends are
The rest can turn to stone
Your memories are yours alone
There yours until your dust and bones
I know the things I'm looking for
I know just what I want
In my life the times have changed
I'm still in a rush
I don't want to hear your fairytales
All I know is who I am
I'll never let you down
The rest will give you trust until the end
UNTIL THE END
In your life you'll be amazed
About all you long to lose
You cant never live that life again
But one thing you will never lose
Is the signing in your head
That will still be with you till the end

Tell Me Who To Kill
Don't you listen to me, it don't make no sense
The way things are, I just can't see
Seems like things got too intense
Stand up straight and talk to me
Stand upright, keep your fingers still
Pretty sure I think I know you now
I just got to know, so whisper sweet and low
Speak the name, tell me who to kill
Just tell me the truth, can't you work it out?
The way you live is a mystery
Hard to figure, guess there ain't no doubt
Tell the truth, what do you see?
Be afraid, I'm sure you know the drill
Pretty sure I think you know me now
Don't say it's unfair, I'll hit you with a chair
Speak the name, tell me who to kill
So it comes to this, maybe it's the truth
Dangerous is how it seems
Burning fit to raise the roof
Turn around, tell me your dreams
Come on in, tell me who you are
I swear to god, I know you well
I just have to find some blessed peace of mind
Step up close, tell me who to kill
Talk to me, talk to me
Tell me who to kill, wanna know
I want to know
I want to know
Tell me who to kill

Choking On Your Screams
We are the homeless, lost in space
Wandering, searching, out of place
Now we find you, our journey's end
You must vanish, your world must make amends
We are coming to kill you, declaration of war
You have seen us in the sky, now you must die
We bring you sorrow, no time to say goodbye
You have seen a thousand years of fire in the sky
We come to battle, we will end your hopes and dreams
So die now, choking on your screams, oh
You will not see us, but we are here
Breathing deep your atmosphere
Your world is ours, and now we call
We are the others, inside your walls
We all come to waste you, to watch you die
Some of us among you, our trusted spies
We are your masters, we feel no remorse
You have no chance against us, we live for war
You will be gone forever, no fever dreams
Die then, choking on your screams
Your time has come now, accept the fact
We are the stronger race, you will die like rats
Bow to the eternal law, cruel and extreme
Die now, choking on your screams, on your screams
Choking on your screams

When The Sky Comes Looking For You
What are you going to do now?
Out in the lonely times
How will you ever get through now?
Remembering all of your crimes
What will you do, what will you do
Who do you think would attempt a rescue?
Dreaming, screaming, knocked right out of your shoes
Who would you blame, who could you sue
If the sky came looking for you?
How are you gonna live now
Out in the lonely fields?
What do you have to give now
I wonder how do you feel?
What will you say, what will you say
What will you say when god turns away?
Running, jumping, praying it wasn't true
How would you look, without a clue
When the sky comes looking for you?
Looks like the same old story
Looks like the same old game
Don't think you're bound for glory
I think you might be insane
What do you think, what do you think
What do you think with your nerves on the brink?
Dogging, weaving, trying to find a way through
Gonna be bad, whatever you do
When the sky comes looking for you

Sympathy For The Devil
Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
Been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul to waste
I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
'Cause what's confusing you is just the
Nature of my game
I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
I killed the Tsar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank, held a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
'Cause what's puzzling you is just the
Nature of my game
Come on, come on, come on!
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, ah yeah
'Cause what's confusing you is just the
Nature of my game
I watched with glee while your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades, for the gods they made
I shouted out "who killed the Kennedys?"
When after all
It was you and me
Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached Bombay
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's confusing you is just the
Nature of my game
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails, just call me Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, oh yeah
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, ah yeah
But what's puzzling you is just the
Nature of my game, ah yeah, get down!
What's my name?
What's my name?
Lucifer
That's my name baby
Aah, yeah!
Aah, yeah!
Aah, come on
