queensryche - hit the black lyrics

hanging by a thread, problems in my head,
don't know what i said, living to be dead on the run.
corporation greed, television need,
overdose and bleed, pornograph obscene, i'm a liar.

there's no brakes on me, as i'm running down the track.
they'll be waiting for me, but i'm never coming back.

i'm going down...
to a place where i can see all there is to see in me.

bullets in the gun, gonna have some fun,
think i'll take a ride to the other side, till i'm done.
hole is in the vein,
feel it numb the brain, take away the pain,
never be the same till i die.

there's no brakes on me, as i come around the track.
there's no gauge to read,
peg the needle as i hit the black.

i'm going down...
to a place where i can see all there is to see in me.

population freeze,
modern day disease,
brings us to our knees, see them stand in line for a cure.
profit in the wind,
pushing back the time that we wait in line,
pushing back the time, it's a sin.

there's no brakes on me, as i'm running down the track.
they'll be waiting for me, but i'm never coming back.

i'm going down....
