LYRICS
Dark is the night, when he is walking down the street
Ten past midnight, he can't believe the things he sees
Deformed creatures, is out to chew on his brain
Acid boiling, inside his veins ain't that a shame
He's possessed by his needs, he can't break the circle
In his head, visions rule, of his own behaviour
Down he goes on his knees, begging for mercy
Through his eyes, he will see nothing but horror
In his prayers he starts to say "Forgive Me Father for I have sinned"
Can't he see, it's too late, he's got nothing to win
If he can't come on through and stop that Dr. Feelgood
Which will take control of him, leave him to die in pain
Dope! On the street, teenage curiosity
Drugs - An icicle fashion
Stop! Can't you see, deadly poison at his feet
Melt down you life with this dizzy passion
Misplaced Devotion
Misplaced Devotion
Misplaced Devotion
Misplaced Devotion
It's too late, the end is here, here comes the nightbreed
Shades inside his toxic mind, the circle is soon complete
He starts to sweat but he's cold inside, he feels it's hard to breathe
In his heart he feels the pain, the beat explodes his veins
He tries to stand up on his feet but his own legs won't bear him
He starts to scream, he starts to sweat, no use - He's Doomed
He sees the man in the big black cape who's coming to get him
Down with him to his knees once again he''s a slave
Solo
Tear it apart! don't let the drug gang rule the street
They have no reason to give a child this disease
So open your eyes! and stop the dope from getting in
And let the children be proud for what they are
And not for what they win!
Dark is the night, when he is walking down the street
Ten past midnight, he can't believe the things he sees
Deformed creatures, is out to chew on his brain
Acid boiling, inside his veins ain't that a shame
