Manic Eden When The Hammer Comes Down
(A. Vandenberg) Another day, another night, they just fade away I can't seem to read the signs, might have lost my way I might have lost my way Looking through the clouds of grey, I can see their hands Telling me that I can't stay, in their no man's land, in their no man's land Time's tight with all my might, tryin' to beat my deadlines All night wide awake, hanging on a lifeline Hold on, hold on, should have seen it comin' Shakedown in my mind, who decides what's wrong or right Reject, face the facts, honesty is hard to find Rollin', rollin', rollin' with the punches Chorus: When the night comes, yeah, I should be on the streets But when the hammer comes down - everytime I wanna hide deep in this soul of mine When the hammer comes down - everytime, it blows my mind It blows my mind One foot on the train, one foot on the platform Run the race, play the game, all is fair in love and war Rollin', rollin', rollin' with the punches (chorus) (When the hammer comes down, when the hammer comes down) (Solo) Looking through the clouds of grey, I can see their hands Telling me that I can't stay, in their no man's land, in their no man's land Judas kiss, cold lips, look me right in the eye Smile at you, daylight, stab you in the back at night Take it, take it, take it if you want it When the night comes, and it comes, I should be on the streets But when the hammer comes down - everytime I wanna hide deep in this soul of mine When the hammer comes down - everytime, it blows my mind I wanna hide deep in this soul of mine But when the hammer comes down - everytime, it blows my mind When the hammer comes down - everytime I wanna hide deep in this soul of mine But when the hammer comes down - everytime, it blows my mind (Blows my mind) (repeats) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
