The Gate
Sitting by this iron gate for hours
Waiting for you
Still forty rainy miles to rehab
I am invoking you
Neon lights and broken glass
And whispers soft. You shall not pass
Through the chaos, I will call
Every moment, hear your fall
Crowded pubs and empty bars
Streets of fire and dirty yards
By the gate. I seek to crawl
From blood to booze
My desperate call
Like a battering ram I will break the gates by the evening
Like a battering ram I' ll be damned when the midnight comes
On the runaway train I will leave this town by the morning
By the midnight hour like a battering ram
Gates down down down
Like a battering ram I will break the gates by the evening
Like a battering ram I' ll be damned when the midnight comes
On the runaway train I will leave this town by the morning
By the midnight hour like a battering ram
Gates down down down
In this city, wide and mean
Wanted man. Where have you been
I am invoking you
Through the chaos, I will call
Every moment, hear your fall
By the gate I seek to crawl
From blood to booze
My desperate call
Like a battering ram I will break the gates by the evening
Like a battering ram I' ll be damned when the midnight comes
On the runaway train I will leave this town by the morning
By the midnight hour like a battering ram
Gates down down down
Like a battering ram I will break the gates by the evening
Like a battering ram I'll be damned when the midnight comes
On the runaway train I will leave this town by the morning
By the midnight hour like a battering ram
Gates down down down
Like a battering ram. Like a battering ram. Like a battering ram
Like a battering ram I will break the gates by the evening
By the midnight hour like a battering ram
Gates down down down
I've got nothing to win
I was born to lose
I bled all I can. The same old blues
I don't need you to understand
The punishment. The promised land
Like a battering ram I will break the gates by the evening
Like a battering ram I' ll be damned when the midnight comes
On the runaway train I will leave this town by the morning
By the midnight hour like a battering ram
Waiting for you
Still forty rainy miles to rehab
I am invoking you
Neon lights and broken glass
And whispers soft. You shall not pass
Through the chaos, I will call
Every moment, hear your fall
Crowded pubs and empty bars
Streets of fire and dirty yards
By the gate. I seek to crawl
From blood to booze
My desperate call
Like a battering ram I will break the gates by the evening
Like a battering ram I' ll be damned when the midnight comes
On the runaway train I will leave this town by the morning
By the midnight hour like a battering ram
Gates down down down
Like a battering ram I will break the gates by the evening
Like a battering ram I' ll be damned when the midnight comes
On the runaway train I will leave this town by the morning
By the midnight hour like a battering ram
Gates down down down
In this city, wide and mean
Wanted man. Where have you been
I am invoking you
Through the chaos, I will call
Every moment, hear your fall
By the gate I seek to crawl
From blood to booze
My desperate call
Like a battering ram I will break the gates by the evening
Like a battering ram I' ll be damned when the midnight comes
On the runaway train I will leave this town by the morning
By the midnight hour like a battering ram
Gates down down down
Like a battering ram I will break the gates by the evening
Like a battering ram I'll be damned when the midnight comes
On the runaway train I will leave this town by the morning
By the midnight hour like a battering ram
Gates down down down
Like a battering ram. Like a battering ram. Like a battering ram
Like a battering ram I will break the gates by the evening
By the midnight hour like a battering ram
Gates down down down
I've got nothing to win
I was born to lose
I bled all I can. The same old blues
I don't need you to understand
The punishment. The promised land
Like a battering ram I will break the gates by the evening
Like a battering ram I' ll be damned when the midnight comes
On the runaway train I will leave this town by the morning
By the midnight hour like a battering ram
