Francis Rossi - Scorpio Rising lyrics

[Verse 1] When you kiss the base of my spine Make my body into your shrine You give me this feeling deep inside One that I can no longer disguise While other snakes just shed their skins f**ed holes pointing out my sins Even though I realise that history's not on my side Even though I realise the pioneer skin still curls up in my eyes [Chorus] If I don't go crazy, I'll lose my mind I saw a life before me but now I'm blind I wanna go to heaven, never been there before I wanna go to heaven, so you give me some more [Verse 2] Flying high upon the gallows Too messed up to step out of the shadows A drugged up heart that knows no sorrow Rescued from this deep dark hole Stick on these boots and sharpen the nails Time is nigh for you leather girls Maybe we should end this race Vanish while we cannot leave no trace [Chorus] If I don't go crazy, I'll lose my mind I saw a life before me, but now I'm blind See one-arm film stars on alien beaches Potted gold and tattooed faces Harrison murals on the corner, tupperware boxes full of hops Diazepam dreams there catching streams Paper dinosaurs flash blue and green Still I've got a flash-bulb head Still I've got a flash-bulb head [Chorus] If I don't go crazy, I'll lose my mind I saw a life before me but now I'm blind I wanna go to heaven, never been there before I wanna go to heaven, so you give me some more [Outro] Come along nice, come along dead Scorpio rising, and paint it red A psychic equalizer in your head Come along nice, come along dead Scorpio rising, and paint it red A psychic equalizer in your head (repeat all)
