[00:00.98] 8. Suite Sister Mary
[00:01.58][SPOKEN]
[00:02.36][Dr. X:] "Kill her. That's all you have to do."
[00:07.82][Nikki:] "Kill Mary?"
[00:09.06][Dr. X:] "She's a risk, and get the priest as well."
[00:16.36]
[01:16.58] 10 P.M., I feel the rain coming down
[01:23.37] My face feels the wet, my mind the storm
[01:30.37] Flashing lights as people race to find shelter from the pour
[01:38.16] Moving silent, through the streets, they're mine, they're
[01:41.54] mine
[01:45.89]
[02:00.12] Midnite, she sings praises in the Hall
[02:06.86] To saintly faces hallowed be their names she can't recall
[02:14.60] Sister Mary, virgin Mary, silent with her sin
[02:21.06]( [Mary:] "What are you doing out in the rain?" )
[02:22.54] She feels me, I can taste her breath when she speaks
[02:27.26]( [Mary:] "I've been waiting for you. Come in." )
[02:52.16]
[03:13.06] Mary, Mary just a whore for the underground
[03:16.45] They made you pay in guilt for your salvation
[03:19.50] Thought you had them fooled? Now they've sent me for you
[03:23.75] You know too much for your own good
[03:26.55] Don't offer me faith, I've got all I need here
[03:30.56] My faith is growing, growing tight against the seam
[03:33.73] What we need is trust, to keep us both alive
[03:37.49] Help us make it through the night
[03:40.64][Mary]
[03:41.22] I've no more want of any faith
[03:44.90] Binds my arm and feed my mind
[03:52.02] The only peace I've ever known
[03:55.49] I'll close my eyes and you shoot
[03:58.08] No Mary, listen, you've got to pull your strength from my
[04:03.04] lips
[04:03.41] I pray I feed you well
[04:05.65] Your precious cross is gone, it made me wait so long
[04:09.13] For what you gave to everyone
[04:12.22] The priest is cold and dead on his knees he fed
[04:16.48] From my barrel of death, he turned the Holy water red
[04:21.60] As he died he said thank you
[04:24.40] I just watched him bleed
[04:26.60][Mary]
[04:26.87] I feel the flow, the blessed stain
[04:30.51] Sweating hands like fire, and flames
[04:38.30] Burn my thighs, spread in sacrificial rite
[04:41.05] The hallowed altar burns my flesh once more tonight
[04:50.68] Mary, sweet lady of pain
[04:54.73] Always alone
[04:57.91] Blind you search for the truth
[05:04.81] I see myself in you, parallel lives
[05:12.16] Winding at light-speed through time
[05:20.81]
[07:07.64] No time to rest yet
[07:09.00] We've got to stop his game
[07:11.50] Before madness has the final laugh
[07:14.48] Too much bloodshed
[07:16.03] We're being used and fed
[07:18.52] Like rats in experiments
[07:21.40] No final outcome here
[07:23.38] Only pain and fear
[07:25.75] It's followed us both all our lives
[07:28.76] There's one thing left to see
[07:30.29] Will it be him or me?
[07:32.58] There's one more candle left to light
[07:35.44][Mary]
[07:36.06] Don't turn your back on my disgrace
[07:39.58] The blood of Christ can't heal my wounds...so deep
[07:46.40] The sins of man are all I taste
[07:49.46] Can't spit the memory from my mind
[07:55.89] I can't cry anymore
[08:00.17] Mary, my lady of pain, always alone
[08:07.38] Blind you search for the truth
[08:14.17] I see myself in you, parallel lives
[08:20.82] Winding at light-speed through time, you're mine
[08:33.71]
[10:09.31] 9. The Needle Lies
[10:19.34][SPOKEN]
[10:43.32][Nikki:] "I've had enough and I WANT OUT!"
[10:46.26][Dr. X:] "You can't walk away now." [Laughs]
[10:53.03]
[11:03.18] I looked back once
[11:04.44] And all I saw was his face
[11:06.85] Smiling, the needle crying
[11:10.66] Walking out of his room
[11:12.61] With mirrors, afraid I heard him scream
[11:17.48] You'll never get away
[11:22.33]
[11:27.08] Cold and shaking
[11:28.81] I crawled down alleys to try
[11:31.67] And scrape away the tracks that marked me
[11:35.00] Slammed my face into walls of concrete
[11:38.77] I stared, amazed at the words written on the wall
[11:43.65] Don't ever trust
[11:46.06] Don't ever trust the needle, it lies
[11:51.28] Don't ever trust
[11:54.06] Don't ever trust the needle when it cries...
[11:58.45] Cries your name
[12:33.28]
[12:40.44] Wet and raving
[12:41.89] The needle keeps calling me back
[12:44.69] To bloody my hands forever
[12:48.20] Carved my cure with the blade
[12:50.95] That left me in scars
[12:52.62] Now every time I'm weak
[12:54.54] Words scream from my arm
[12:56.49] Don't ever trust
[12:58.67] Don't ever trust the needle, it lies
[13:04.36] Don't ever trust
[13:06.89] Don't ever trust the needle when it cries...
[13:11.35] Cries your name
[13:13.08] Don't ever trust
[13:15.30] Don't ever trust the needle, it lies
[13:20.47] Don't ever trust
[13:23.43] Don't ever trust the needle when it cries...
[13:27.13] Cries your name
[13:51.08] 10. Electric Requiem
[13:52.55]([Nikki:] "Anybody home? Mary?")
[14:01.54]
[14:13.55] Even in death
[14:15.13] You still look sad
[14:21.11] Don't leave me
[14:23.08] Don't leave me...here
[14:29.26] I want what you feel, believe me
[14:35.45] Turn the current on
[14:41.80][Guitar solo, instrumental]
[15:14.28] 11. Breaking The Silence
[15:45.10] They told me to run, but just how far?
[15:52.66] Can I go wearing the black mask of fear?
[16:00.97] The hate in my eyes always gives me away
[16:04.78] The tension building slowly
[16:08.55] Now I lost everything I had in you
[16:15.67] Nothing we shared means a thing
[16:20.24] Without you close to me
[16:25.06] I can't live without you
[16:27.71] Breaking the silence of the night
[16:31.76] Can't you hear me screaming?
[16:35.33] I look for your face in the neon light
[16:39.85] You never answer me
[16:51.56] There's no direction to my stare
[16:59.62] No more flame burning in my heart anymore
[17:07.33] Quiet, I keep it to myself
[17:11.33] Until the sun sets slowly
[17:14.95] I hear your voice in the evening rain calling
[17:22.08] Nothing will keep us apart
[17:26.69] No more lies and fear
[17:30.72] There's no end to our story
[17:34.82] Breaking the silence of the night
[17:38.26] Can't you hear me screaming?
[17:42.06] I look for your face in the neon light
[17:45.70] You never answer
[17:50.52] I could make all the wrong seem right
[17:54.11] If you were by my side
[17:57.88] I'd gather all the tears you cried
[18:01.65] And hide them deep underground
[18:09.41][Guitar solo]
[18:40.26] Can't look back, it's just a waste of time
[18:48.59] Can't erase this hate from my eyes
[18:52.09] Breaking the silence of the night
[18:56.13] Through the streets I'm screaming
[19:00.40] Looking for you in the neon light
[19:04.20] Why don't you answer me?
[19:08.59] Breaking the silence with my cries
[19:11.62] Can't you hear me screaming?
[19:16.01] We could make all this wrong seem right
[19:19.64] But you never answer me
[19:24.50]
[19:47.87] 12. I Don't Believe In Love
[20:07.04] I awoke on impact
[20:08.63] Under surveillance from the camera eye
[20:12.72] Searching high and low
[20:23.47] The criminal mind found at the scene of the crime
[20:28.02] Handcuffed and blind, I didn't do it
[20:39.61] She said she loved me
[20:41.79] I guess I never knew
[20:43.86] But do we ever, ever really know?
[20:47.84] She said she'd meet me on the other side
[20:52.28] But I knew right then, I'd never find her
[20:55.91] I don't believe in love
[20:59.35] I never have, I never will
[21:04.19] I don't believe in love
[21:07.94] It's never worth the pain that you feel
[21:19.06] No more nightmares, I've seen them all
[21:22.72] From the day I was born, they've haunted my every move
[21:27.82] Every open hand's there to push and shove
[21:32.09] No time for love it doesn't matter
[21:35.66] She made a difference
[21:37.76] I guess she had a way
[21:39.80] Of making every night seem bright as day
[21:43.58] Now I walk in shadows, never see the light
[21:47.79] She must have lied 'cause she never said goodbye
[21:51.73] I don't believe in love
[21:55.27] I never have, I never will
[21:59.78] I don't believe in love
[22:03.26] I'll just pretend she never was real
[22:08.54] I don't believe in lovev I need to forget her face, I seeit still
[22:15.99] I don't believe in love
[22:20.23] It's never worth the pain that you feel
[22:24.46][Guitar solo]
[22:55.15] No chance for contact
[22:57.48] There's no raison d'etre
[22:59.13] My only hope is one day I'll forget
[23:03.04] The pain of knowing what can never be
[23:07.09] With or without love it's all the same to me
[23:10.88] I don't believe in love
[23:14.49] I never have, I never will
[23:19.17] I don't believe in love
[23:22.58] I'll just pretend she never was real
[23:27.16] I don't believe in love
[23:31.06] I need to forget her face, I see it still
[23:35.52] I don't believe in love
[23:39.45] It's never worth the pain that you feel
[23:54.76]
[24:14.96] 13. Waiting For 22
[24:18.21][Instrumental]
[25:25.17] 14. My Empty Room
[25:42.02] Empty room today
[25:45.15] And here I sit
[25:48.43] Chalk outline upon the wall
[25:52.88] I remember tracing it
[25:57.12] A thousand times, the night she died.
[26:04.30] Why? (Why?)
[26:12.57] There's no sleep today, I can't pretend
[26:19.65] When all my dreams are crimes
[26:23.96] I can't stand facing them
[26:27.80] Now who will come
[26:31.64] To wash away my sins
[26:34.10] Clean my room, fix my meals
[26:38.47] Be my friend?
[26:49.12] 15. Eyes Of A Stranger
[26:49.86][Intro, spoken over page]
[26:50.29] Dr. David, telephone please. Dr. David
[26:53.61]
[27:06.06] Dr. Blair, Dr. Blair, Dr. J. Hamilton, Dr. J Hamilton
[26:58.58]
[27:21.89][Nikki screaming and complaining to a nurse]
[27:49.59]
[27:51.95] All alone now
[27:53.53] Except for the memories
[27:56.28] Of what we had and what we knew
[28:02.12] Everytime I try to leave it behind me
[28:06.02] I see something that reminds me of you
[28:15.84] Every night the dreams return to haunt me
[28:19.25] Your rosary wrapped around your throat
[28:23.91] I lie awake and sweat, afraid to fall asleep
[28:28.36] I see your face looking back at me
[28:42.20] And I raise my head and stare
[28:45.16] Into the eyes of a stranger
[28:50.75] I've always known that the mirror never lies
[28:59.83] People always turn away
[29:03.89] From the eyes of a stranger
[29:09.86] Afraid to know what
[29:11.54] Lies behind the stare
[29:18.44] Is this all that's left
[29:20.38] Of my life before me
[29:24.37] Straight jacket memories, sedative highs
[29:28.21] No happy ending like they've always promised
[29:32.12] There's got to be something left for me
[29:36.83] And I raise my head and stare
[29:39.73] Into the eyes of a stranger
[29:45.81] I've always known that the mirror never lies
[29:54.79] People always turn away
[29:58.37] From the eyes of a stranger
[30:03.48] Afraid to know what
[30:05.99]Lies behind the stare [Lies behind my stare]
[30:14.29]
[30:49.91] How many times must I live this tragedy
[30:54.85] How many more lies will they tell me
[30:59.00] All I want is the same as everyone
[31:03.28] Why am I here, and for how long
[31:07.99] And I raise my head and stare
[31:11.36] Into the eyes of a stranger
[31:16.95] I've always known that the mirror never lies
[31:26.15] People always turn away
[31:29.96] From the eyes of a stranger
[31:35.68] Afraid to know what
[31:37.67] Lies behind the stare
[32:01.34]
[32:37.17][Instrumental, medley of Operation: Mindcrime, Speak, Revolution Calling]
[33:04.12] Revolution!
[33:23.39] I remember now
[33:24.65]
