Angel Dust

Living

Running,

Out on the streets at night,

Searching,

Hoping,

For the right connection, coz',

Need it, want it,

You know I've got to have it,

Takes me higher than anything I know.

------

Angel Dust,

Need a shot to see me through the day,

Angel Dust,

Want a lot I've got to get away.

I live my life,

Like there's no tomorrow,

Take no

chances

I'm drowning all my sorrows coz' I,

Need it, want it,

You know I've got to have it,

Takes me higher than anything I know.

Laughing,

Crying,

Every night and day,

I know,

You know,

That I'm a different man because I,

Need it, want it,

You know I've got to have it,

Takes me higher than anything I know.

The demo version is better than the album cut in my opinion.

I like Cronos, but I think that Clive should've stayed with Venom.

"who tends the the fire ?"i used to have that line on a sign I made at work. a little inside joke. since pretty much the only ones who heard that song(or Venom) heard it from being less than half a mile from my stereo. : ) It's nice being the one cranking the music meant to be cranked the most.
