CHILDREN OF BODOM LYRICS

1. Hellhounds On My Trail

Watching the cunt
But before I'm into worries
I do better think fast
Step beyond the legs
Risk selfdestruction
One more sucker
Wait again
To the wrong turn
To the right direction
Too many fucking gonna turn
Going too fast
When you call me outrageous
As a questioner

No feelings - you destroy me HATE
We're welcome - we're on this show END

What the hell was that?
It's a battle name
Tied down everything long before
Blaming all the suckers
I don't give fuck
Till they're coming down
Where I go
Or he's gonna stop me
And when I hear the voice
So you better take care of me now
Knowing that I've always gotta come back
Till the end of life has arrived

Things happen while I grow
No one to catch my fall
Becoming dull is all I know
Resurrection - friend or a foe

No feelings - you destroy me HATE
We're welcome - we're on this show END

Gone too fast
I'm caring about the truth
So tell me how
Fuck me sideways
I've been loved before right now
After I've been down
Well if you don't need to
Resurrect a shadow of myself

No feelings - you destroy me HATE
We're welcome - we're on this show END

No feelings - you destroy me HATE
We're welcome - we're on this show

Remember me, seventeen
Come on, get you going
Have I told you I would return
Come on, get you going
Gotta get on the way
But the butcher
You're allowed to lie
I disapprove my body
Eat my dinner
You dull stupid role model
Who's about to rock

Things happen while I grow
No one to catch my fall
Becoming dull is all I know
Resurrection - friend or a foe
Friend or a foe

2. Blooddrunk

[Spoken intro:]
They say drinking is a way to die,
But at the end... dying is a way to drink, that's why...

Unquenchable thirst burns you inside
The ruins of already burnt out mind
Inexhaustable craving for something
You're already crying.

[Bridge:]
Degenerate drunk with a razor blade
Strung out spilling your own blood.
Exterminate scars already made.
Ready for another drink, can you wait?

Detoxing, here come the withdrawals.
[Whispering:] Maybe you've gone too far.
Deep within things are getting hot
Can't deny, take another shot.

[Chorus:]
Blooddrunk - wasted again.
All inside your pain will fade
Blooddrunk - you call me insane.
Degenerate bloodrunk with a razor blade.

[Solos]

[Bridge]
[Chorus x2]

3. LoBodomy

Slashes to Slashes, Dust to Dust
With the blade in my hand, kill you, I might
Forget about falling, it's for poor distant punks
I tell you I'll see the pain after I see the trunk

So you really thought I just came
To the gutters forlorn to be tamed?

I'm at the end of, my rope your Tying
This is just dreaming of might
Hallucination, your in for shit!
I dare you to look at me, I'm a pshyco freak!

You motherfuckers wanna give me, a lobodomy?
Fuck no, then you know who I am?
Well we're about to fucking see
You started messin with death
No one said?
I'm a Maniac
Fuck yeah, you have no power to ask why!
Then I will give you a turn

When talking out of your bodom mouth
At night I bark, scream or shout
So really thought I just came
To the gutters forlorn to be tamed?

You motherfuckers wanna give me, a lobodomy?
Fuck no, then you know who I am?
Well we're about to fucking see
You started messin with death
No one said?
I'm a Maniac
Fuck yeah, you have no power to ask why!
Then I will give you a turn

I'll never give a fuck that
These poor bridges are burnt
Fuck no, fuck all that shit
Now then, would you all just let me go

4. One Day Will Cry

To the fucker who let me have a life in the dark,
Till the day my life ran out
Well a day in the dark, a bloody lust of wind, wanna know what it's about?

It's not like your gonna need me or I'm gonna miss you
when the worlds so cold out there
So dumb, what the fuck am I doing here?
All I need to know

I'm sorry and ill let you go by the reign you built for me
Still a god but, don't wanna even know what's waiting for me

I'll be waiting here for always
Wanna go? Yeah, hang that rope
Every thought breaks down in my head
Best to run, blinded soul
Bring me back on my feet and let me go I'm fine alone
In this shell of life you left me hanging dry
With a smile on my face I'll watch you cry

Forms of my dream
Down you'll be grime

I'll be waiting here for always
Wanna go? Yeah, hang that rope
Every thought breaks down in my head
Best to run, blinded soul
Bring me back on my feet and let me go I'm fine alone
In this shell of life you left me hanging dry
With a smile on my face I'll watch you cry

Watch you cry
Watch you cry

5. Smile Pretty For The Devil

Live the years of danger live on the road
To the point there's nothing to lose
Regrets all you want it to be!

In the blink of an eye you're fighting
Look at me chump, champ is my name
Were you going to all laugh? I'll always be

Five times I've died it's all the same
got only myself to blame
Never begged for you to rescue me
Then again I never could find you
but you leave me ripe to choke
Who gives a fuck and your the devil

And now, wont we find out
Just how we should get down in hell
Funny, you don't seem that big time
Memorize that your better
when your smiling pretty for the devil

Ten times I've died its all the same
Well I got myself to blame
Never begged for you to rescue me
Then again no one could find you
Because you leave me ripe to choke
Who gets the fuck and your the devil

And now, war will find you
This hour, you should live in hell
Funny, you don't seem that big time
Memorize that your better
when you smile pretty for the devil

6. Tie My Rope

Dear diary, what have I done? Am I trippin' or am I alive?
Once I've decided I've got stories to tell
No way in hell was that just another muthafuckin' dream
Doesn't matter cuz I already know how it feels to WAKE UP WITH

Body like a roadmap of pain
Mind like a landfill of shame
Tie my rope one more time

Dear diary, had I known what I told you last night
I would've never walked there to start another fight
Banging my head on concrete wall, while knockin' on wood
Thinking it that's gonna do any good when I WAKE UP WITH

Body like a roadmap of pain
Mind like a landfill of shame
TIE MY ROPE

Tell me once, I decline, I refuse to learn
Shoot me twice but I'm not going down
I will climb the rope you tied for me
Beat me up while I'm still alive

7. Done With Everything Die For Nothing

Let me break it down real easy
Got nothing left to burn
So you preach over me, like I will never learn
Go over it one more time
Just for your piece of mind
I've got no fucking shame
Got nothing left for your God

Wonder wonder, why you wonder
Look inside me and you'll see
What the fuck can be asunder
Oh, you just let me be!
They got to push, so up yours
Don't blame me for beating him, let me out!
To the fact that I don't care
Your buried fact, your gonna care

Take me away
Anyway, that's not my way
I don't care, I don't care which way
Toss me aside
I won't crash
I will never judge,
On account of being done for the deed

I'M DONE WITH YOU!

Take me away
Anyway that's not my way
I don't care, I don't care which way
Toss me aside
I won't crash
I will never judge,
On account of being done for the deed

8. Banned From Heaven

It's a color that I can not show
When I could easier pose
But you probably knew that I was lost

Did you think that I would right now
Show you things I have lost?
Swim if you're diving for a human being

Yaow!
I blame myself for every second
That I was gripped by some foe
Standing for the only one, for you
To kill me by your left toe

What even can I say, get me out
I was the one who sold
My body and soul to the devil
No one that I know when I say
"I am the one" would lie
Since when we spoke I stream with fire

[Chorus:]
Wake up in a pool of blood
Locked up, when you get Banned From Heaven
Looking I just saw me dripping down blood
Don't worry, I'll get up to get down where I belong

[Alexi Solo]

Banned From Heaven
Banned From Heaven
Banned From Heaven
Banned From Heaven

[Roope Solo]

[Chorus x2]

9. Roadkill Morning

A swine
An addict
A slave
To that accel forward
Till you just burn, till wreck
And now your falling
Pain potions getting well
Though they hammer you into the ground

Bastard of Bodom, reporting
That sharp pain always go's away
How did I get here once again?

I have to shoot to survive
Otherwise screech "I wanna fucking die"
But I need the bottle and I'll be fine

To the final hammering
Suffer internal
Wanna feeling? and be fine?

On the verge, were never scared
Everything is through with me
This time it's got inside

Bow down to the points of life
Take a scream down Bottom Limb Drive
From the tip of a glass, I'm feeling fine

A have barely come to the point,
To make a motherfucking sure bitch
Wanna wish
Mix beer with pure wine

Sleeves up, lightning sucker punch
Can't stand my jumper cables on my junk?
Why would you worry 'bout me?

Fucked up rolling on the floor
Going down like a whore
Just like lightning from the sky
Another roadkill morning, break down and cry

Sleeves up, lightning sucker punch
Can't stand my jumper cables on my junk?
Why would you worry 'bout me?

Bastard of Bodom, reporting
That sharp pain always go's away
How did I get here once again?

I have to shoot to survive
Otherwise screech "I wanna fucking die"
I need the bottle and I'll be fine

Fucked up rolling on the floor
Going down like a whore
Just like lightning from the sky
Anything roadkill morning, say goodbye and DIE!

10. Ghostriders In The Sky

[bonus track]
[Stan Jones cover]

An old cowpoke went riding out
One dark and windy day,
Upon a ridge he rested as
He went along his way,
When all at once a mighty herd
Of red eyed cows he saw,
A-plowin' through the ragged skies
And up a cloudy draw.

Yippee-yi-ya, yippee-yi-yo,
Ghost riders in the sky.

Their brands were still on fire and
Their hooves were made of steel,
Their horns were black and shiny and
Their hot breath he could feel,
A bolt of fear shot through him as
He looked up in the sky,
For he saw the riders comin' hard
And he heard their mournful cry:

Yippee-yi-ya, yippee-yi-yo,
Ghost riders in the sky.

Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred,
Their shirts all soaked with sweat,
They're riding hard to catch that herd,
But they ain't caught 'em yet,
'cause they've got to ride forever on
That range up in the sky,
On horses snortin' fire, as
They ride on hear their cry:

Yippee-yi-ya, yippee-yi-yo,
Ghost riders in the sky.

[Solo]

As the cowpokes loped on past him and
He heard one call his name,
If you want to save your soul from hell
A-riding on our range,
Then, cowboy, change your ways today,
Or with us you will ride,
A-trying to catch the devil's herd
Across these endless skies.

Yippee-yi-ya, yippee-yi-yo,
Ghost riders in the sky.

11. Lookin' Out My Back Door

[UK edition Bonus Track]
[Creedence Clearwater Revival cover]

Just got home from Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy!
Got to sit down, take a rest on the porch.
Imagination sets in, pretty soon I'm singin',

[Chorus:]
Doo, doo, doo, Lookin' out my back door.

There's a giant doing cartwheels, a statue wearin' high heels.
Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn.
A dinosaur Victrola list'ning to Buck Owens.

[Chorus]

Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band.
Won't you take a ride on the flyin' spoon?
Doo, doo doo.
Wond'rous apparition provided by magician.

[Chorus]

Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band.
Won't you take a ride on the flyin' spoon?
Doo, doo doo.
Bother me tomorrow, today, I'll buy no sorrows.

[Chorus]

Forward troubles Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy!
Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn.
Bother me tomorrow, today, I'll buy no sorrows.

[Chorus]

12. Just Dropped In

[Bonus track]
[Kenny Rogers cover]

Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah
What condition my condition was in

I woke up this mornin' with the sundown shinin' in
I found my mind in a brown paper bag within
I tripped on a cloud and fell eight miles high
I tore my mind on a jagged sky
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in

Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah
What condition my condition was in

I pushed my soul in a deep dark hole and then I followed it in
I watched myself crawlin' out as I was crawlin' in
I got up so tight I couldn't unwind
I saw so much I broke my mind
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in

Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah
What condition my condition was in

Someone painted, 'April Fool' in big black letters on a 'Dead End' sign
I had my foot on the gas as I left the road and blew out my mind
Eight miles outta Memphis and I got no spare
Eight miles straight up downtown somewhere
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in

I said I just dropped in to see
What condition my condition was in
Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah
