Dio - Lock Up The Wolves


1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11

 

1. Wild One

You say you've never seen the light before

Does anyone believe you

Don't let them hear you say anymore

Nothing's really safe around here

 

We are an imitation of the crown

We never turn the pages

They cannot let your spirit touch the ground

And nothing's gonna change around here, no

 

Crack in the ceiling

Hole in the wall

They bend you over

But you won't crawl away

 

You've got two in the bushes

One in the hand

They'd make you over

But they can't understand you

You're always gonna be the wild one

 

Pretend that all you really feel is pain

Just hide behind some sorrow

How sad

But you'd do it all again

Nobody changes 'round here

 

Cat in the cradle

Man in the moon

They'd make you over

But it's too soon to know, no

 

Smoke in the kitchen

Fire in the hall

The train is coming

And you can hear it calling

You're always gonna be the wild one

 

Crack in the ceiling

Hole in the wall

They bend you over

But you won't crawl away

 

You've got two in the bushes

One in the hand

They'd make you over

But they can't understand you

You're always gonna be the Wild One

 

2. Born On The Sun

There's a crack in the rainbow

There's a hole in the sky

You believed in something

Now it's just a lie, yeah

 

No jokes from the jester

Not a laugh from the clown

And your world is upside down, yeah

 

You can hide in a circle

It's a way to survive

Be another number

At least you'd be alive

 

Or you can ride with the gypsy

He can take you to hell

And the answers screaming

In a voice you know so well

 

You - you're made of fire

Never higher

You were made to run

 

You - you're burning higher

You've got the fire

You were born on the sun

 

So take a walk with a wild one

It's the way that I've found

You can turn it upside down

 

Repeat the chorus.

 

3. Hey Angel

How do you feel right now

How does it feel to be alone

How do you feel right now

Tell me

 

Hey angel - what's your situation

Hey angel - oh, oh

 

Where would you be right now

Waiting to taste your next tomorrow

Where would you be right now

Tell me

 

Was the pain too strong to take it anymore

So you turned off all the lights and shut the door

 

Hey angel - what's your destination

Hey angel

Hey angel - we got a complication

Hey angel - oh, oh - you're my angel, my angel

 

How do you feel right now

How does it feel to be alone, oh

How do you feel right now

How do you feel right now

 

Oh angel - you're my angel, oh my angel, ...

 

4. Between Two Hearts

She never breaks into the conversation

He seems to be the reason why she lives

She tries to be the perfect kind of stranger

But we always seem to love the most

The ones who never give, yeah

 

It's between two hearts

A personal situation

Between two hearts

The kind of love with a reputation

 

We never have to ask her why she's crying

The smile she had's been kicked into a frown

But still it makes her day to be his pleasure

Should we open up her eyes

Can we ever break the spell

No one can tell

 

It's between two hearts

A personal combination

Between too hearts

The kind of love with a bad reputation

 

Put on your party faces and come along

Join in the big parade

Here comes the camera

Do you look as good as your sister

Smile at the animals

They should be the ones in the cages

Turn the pages

 

Another way to spend a rainy Sunday

Waiting for a call that never comes

The mystery is how she makes her choices

But don't we always choose

The ones who hide the sun

Everyone

 

It's between two hearts

Love and desperation

Between two hearts

The kind of love

The kind of love

 

Between two hearts

A personal situation

Between two hearts

The kind of love with a reputation

 

5. Night Music

Looking on the other side

You're waiting for your life to walk away

Writings on a wall

You just dream forever, forever

 

Face it - it's another day

And it's gonna be the same tomorrow

The sun is gonna go away

So let it shine on - shine on, yeah, yeah

 

When you move to the rhythm of shadows

You can hide from the heat of the sun

'Cos If you dance to the beat of the darkness

You burn before the fire's begun

 

Then comes the night

You come alive

 

With night music

It keeps spinning around my head

Night music

It's all the things that you never said

And anywhere you are

There's night music

 

So open up your arms

Let the night time in

Say the word and it begins

 

In the night you're the song and the singer

You can choose what the band's gonna play

Write the words under cover of moonlight, oh

Make some magic with the things that you say

Together we can kill the day

 

Night music

You're singer and I'm the song

Night music

Where's the place we can belong

 

Here comes the night

You will survive

Dancing in the moonlight

Makes you feel alive

 

Open your arms

Let it begin

Just open up the magic

Let the night time in

 

6. Lock Up The Wolves

In the houses of the holy

To the middle of the mystic sea

At the cradle of the world

 

There's a black cat screaming

And it's not even midnight, no

At the cradle of the world

 

They're screaming for sanctuary

They're screaming at you

Lock up the wolves

Lock up the wolves, yeah, yeah, yeah

 

Now there's a cloud over heaven

And a pain out of paradise

In your corner of the world

 

Turn your back on the children

Does it feel like it's colder

In your corner of the world

 

They're screaming for sanctuary

They're screaming at you

Lock up the wolves

Lock up the wolves, ...

 

Don't you let'em get away

Lock up the wolves before you play

Or it's over

Lock up the wolves

Don't you let'em get away

Don't you let'em get away

 

There's no back door to heaven

Just a front door to hell, oh

In this corner of the world

 

Now if you turn your back on the children

Don't you feel it getting colder

In your corner of the world

 

They're screaming for sanctuary

They're screaming at you

Lock up the wolves

Lock up the wolves, ...

 

7. Evil On Queen Street

Spent the night on the road

And never saw the miles go

Running away

I've got to get free from myself

 

How stories were made to be told

And here's the one that I know

I can't hide it anymore

 

There's evil on Queen Street

 

I saw the house in the dark

It seemed to say "come touch me

I've got a heart

Open the door to my soul"

 

Climb to the top of my stairs

And look into my windows

I can be your wishing well

There's no evil on Queen Street

 

Let me in

I can warm in the heat of your fire

It's no permanent sin to be bad

If you're sorry

 

Let me go - you're a promise that comes from a liar

I don't know - if I ever can wash all the evil away, hey

 

Struck a match at the dark

It screamed no, no I love you

Together we're strong

You always believed what I'd say, hey

 

But now the heat of a flame

Starts me to remember

There's no evil - no more evil

No evil on Queen Street

 

Just smoke in the air

No evil anywhere

No evil on Queen Street

 

8. Walk On Water

He's just an ordinary man

Never gonna live forever

So he takes it where he can

 

Too many nights without a day

For the sake of being clever

He almost lost his way

He always thought that he could fly

Till he was shot down from the sky

You can't walk on water - don't try

You can't walk on water - my my my

 

They say there's ice inside his veins

He's the man of a thousand faces

Silver spoons and golden chains

He thought his heart was made of steel

But it never started pounding

Till they strapped him to the wheel

 

He always thought that he could fly

Till he was shot down from the sky

No matter what you try

You can't walk on water - my my

Can't walk on water - don't let me try

 

Somebody said we'll make him strong

He can give us all the answers

Tell us right and show us wrong

 

If you believe it, it's no lie

And there is an end to summer

'Cause the winter makes it die

 

We never looked above his head

And so he missed the things that they said, yeah

He always thought that he could fly

Until they shot him from the sky

 

No matter how you try

You can't walk on water

Can't burn the sun

You can't walk on water

Not anyone

 

You can't, you can't, you can't

You can't, you can't, walk on water

 

9. Twisted

It's just a matter of time

He was the victim and he never saw the crime

He had invisible eyes

He told you truth but you were sure of it, lies

 

'Cause he was twisted (you could see it)

He was twisted, all right

 

He was the fortunate one

He could have pulled the trigger

But he couldn't get the gun

They told him that he was blind

He didn't understand

'Cause he could see them inside

 

They were twisted, oh

So Twisted

You could feel it they were

Twisted

Twisted up inside

 

Look inside any window

Come on and see the show

It's the same generation

They set you free

But they just won't let you go - no

 

It was a matter of time

They told me I was guilty

So I thought I did the crime

I never learned how to cry

And when I told the truth

They were sure it was a lie

Sure that I would cry

Sure of it

Sure of it 'cause I'm so

Twisted

 

She's twisted up inside

They're twisted

We're twisted

And when you're twisted

There's just no place to hide away

 

10. Why Are They Watching Me

He was ready to rock and roll

So ready to lose control

But when a hungry heart

Gets a taste of freedom - you better look out

 

He was ready to push and shove

Ready to fight for love

But I've seen it before

And it can make you crazy

The eyes are what you see

 

Why are they watching me

 

She was ready to black and white

The colors were just too bright

She loved to fly

But she hated falling

 

She was caught in the in-between

Her dirty would not come clean

She ran for light

But she just got darkness

 

Just when you think you're free

The eyes are what you see

 

Why are they watching me

Why do they do the things they do

Why are they watching me

Watching you

 

If only the eyes could see

Then you'd know your destiny

The mind is an enemy

And you just need a friend

 

Are you ready for rock and roll

Ready to take control

If you see the eyes

Will it make you crazy - crazy

Crazy

 

Repeat the chorus.

 

11. My Eyes

My eyes can see inside tomorrow

My eyes can get next to you

Time flies on wings that just get stronger

My eyes are true

 

My eyes could see the body shakin'

My eyes were clear and bright

Goodbyes are easy to remember

You can see the hurt still there in my eyes

 

I've fallen off the edge of the world

I've fallen from the top of the mountain

Just to rise again

 

I've seen it from heaven and hell

I've seen it from the eyes of a stargazer

 

I want to be invisible

Just get me out of here

Could the dreamer be turning to stone, oh

 

Rock and roll eyes

The color of rainbows - believer of lies

Rock and roll eyes, yeah

 

Don't want to see the end of it all

Just get me outta here

Just get me outta here

Just get me outta here

 

Rock and roll eyes

The keeper of rainbows

Collector of lies

Rock and roll eyes

My eyes

 

Rock and roll eyes

Tell rock and roll lies

And rock and roll lies

Never end

 

Rock and roll friends

With rock and roll trends

And rock and roll ends

With my eyes
