Ride The Lightning (Live At The Hollywood Palladium, Los Angeles, Ca – March 10Th, 1985)

LA
Ride the lightning

Fuck

Guilty as charged, but damn it, it ain't right
Someone else controlling me
Death in the air, strapped in the electric chair
This can't be happening to me
Who made you God to say
You'll take my life from me?

Flash before my eyes
Now it's time to die
Burning in my brain
I can feel the flames

Wait for the sign to flick the switch of death
It's the beginning of the end
Sweat, chilling cold as I watch death unfold
Consciousness my only friend
My fingers grip with fear
What am I doing here?

Flash before my eyes
Now it's time to die
Burning in my brain
I can feel the flames

Someone help me
Oh, please God, help me
They're trying to take it all away
I don't want to die

Someone help me
Oh, please God, help me
They're trying to take it all away
I don't want to die

Hey, hey
Can we have some fuckin' hands?
Hey, hey, hey

Time moving slow, the minutes seem like hours
The final curtain call I see
I'm through with this, just get it over with
If this is true, just let it be
Wakened by a horrid scream
Freed from this frightening dream

Flash before my eyes
Now it's time to die
Burning in my brain
I can feel the flames, yeah-yeah-yeah

Ah-ha-ha-ha!
It's good to see the old freaks again
Looks like we got a few people came here
To get out of control tonight
I've been hearin' a lot of shit
About how fuckin' wild you've been getting these days
