Fightin' for My Life
I'm ridin' through the middle of some godforsaken townDark figures from the shadows, they're tryin' to cut me downSome hero of the hour needs a rival of some kindSo don't talk to me right now, I've got survival on my mindIt might seem a little strange to youBut babe, I got some things to doThings for me that just can't waitDon't let your love turn to hateI got nothin' in the world against you babeBut it's gonna be a rough night out tonightI got a feelin' I'm fightin for my lifeSome street gang in the alley is tryin' to tan my hideI give 'em all my money but they're still not satisfiedThey're callin' out some names but it don't reflect on youSo don't bother me, I'm tryin' to make'em see my point of viewIt might seem a little strange to youBut babe, I got some things to doThings for me that just can't waitDon't let your love turn to hateI got nothin' in the world against you, babeIt's gonna be a rough night out tonightI know the kung-fu and I'm fightin' for my lifeSongtexteThey say those silly phantoms are only in your mindBut I swear that even some of them get out from time to timeSome are rough and some are rowdy, some are fast to make the sceneBut the ones that move so slow, they're the ones that treat you meanIt might seem a little strange to youBut babe, I got some things to doThings for me that just can't waitDon't let your love turn to hateI got nothin' in the world against you, babeIt's gonna be a rough night out tonightI better meditate, you know I'm fightin' for my lifeI used to read the Bible and Paradise LostNow it looks like everybody's been gettin' double-crossedI don't mean to crash the cymbals, I don't mean to beat the drumI don't wanna waste your time, you know I'd rather save you someIt might seem a little strange to youBut babe, I got some things to doThings for me that just can't waitDon't let your love turn to hateI got nothin' in the world against you, babeIt's gonna be a rough night out tonightI better meditate, you know I'm fightin' for my lifeMy eyes are open, I'm fightin' for my life Aus Songtexte Mania
