Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Look inside and you will see
The words are cutting deep inside my brain
Thunder burning, quickly burning
Knife of words is driving me insane
Insane
[Verse 2]
Raven black is on my track
He shows me how to neutralize the knife
Show to me in surgery
The art of fighting words to conquer life
Conquer life
[Verse 3]
Oh, baby
Rock 'n' roll
Oh no
Ohhh
[Verse 4]
Now the wicked lance of fear
Is driving from my heady mountain brain
Crash course in brain surgery
Has stopped the bloody knife of words again
Written by: Tony Bourge, Ray Phillips, Burke Shelley
