Lyrics

I'm gonna tell you a secret
Something you should know
Something you might know without knowing
And if you really wanna keep it
I'm sure that you must know
You don't get something for nothing


I'm gonna take you down
Back where you belong now
Right straight down into the heart of things
Bend your ear down low
Hear the voices call you
Right straight down into the heart of things


Fortune smiles on those who wait
Laughs at those who hesitate
Buries them in their own weight
In shallow graves
The hand of fate is waiting
To greet you
And you must wonder why...

The past is dead but still it seems
To live on in these broken dreams
The pictures flicker on the screen
And you wake up
Feeling out of season
That's the reason, you must come with me

Body is a tool, a means to an end
A ticket to ride, a man's best friend
When they bury you honey I'll be there
To punch your ticket and collect your fare

Rich and poor, young and old
Their hearts are strong, their tongues are bold
But life goes by and the fire still burns
And I'll stand by and wait my turn

Yes I'll be there to stake my claim
I don't want your fortune or fame
Won't you dance while I fiddle my tune
All I want is the Devil's due

All the little boys and all the little girls
Will find their way to my little world
Darken my door and you soon find out
You can get in
But there's no way out
