Oh baby I was born
With a fast fuse
I've got no time to love
Just a city to abuse

Oh baby I was born
With a fast fuse
I've got no time to love
Just a city to abuse

Come get me
Wicked fines won't arrest me
I'm like Lucifer's child
Wild, acid done
Black sunglasses shade the morning sun
Come get me
All you fuckers can't touch me
I'm a hooligan crier, sire
Sit, don't scatter
It don't matter
Gimme one two three

Gold lightning in the skyline
Gold lightning in the sky

Oh baby I was born
With a fast fuse
I've got no time to lose
Just a city to abuse

Oh baby I was born
With a fast fuse
I've got no time to lose
Just a city to abuse

Vultures settle round
They wait above the ground

Oh
How dare you!
Not it's time to address you
I'm the reason you claim
Shame, stalk my name
See my fist chopping off your reign
It's getting hotter
Now I'm spitting out lava
Well I'm just putting it into words
Just genuine stock
Hear that bomb going tick tick tock

Gold lightning in the skyline
Gold lightning in the sky
Gold lightning in the skyline
Gold lightning in the sky

Oh baby I was born
With a fast fuse
I've got not time to lose
Just a city to abuse

In the middle of the night
When they come for you
Where you gonna be?
What you gonna do?

Heaven may come
And heaven may call
But I won't be there
(Hey hey!)

Heaven may come
And heaven may call
But I won't be there
(Hey hey!)

Heaven may come
And heaven may call
But I won't be there
(Hey hey!)

Heaven may come
And heaven may call
But I won't be there
(Hey hey!)

    some corrections:

    "Just a city to abuse" not "Just a signal to abuse"

    in general its "Oh baby" not whow .. but nevermind.

    "Wicked fines won't arrest me" not "If you're fast don't arrest me"

    "Black sunglasses shade the morning sun" not "Blast a cut to shake the mornin' sun"

    "sire" instead of sigher

    "Vultures settle round They wait about the ground" not "Don't you say goodbye No you ain't above the night"

    futhermore:

    Oh How dare you! Not it's time to address you I'm the reason you claim Shame, stalk my name See my fist chopping off your reign It's getting hotter Now I'm spitting out lava Well I'm just putting it into words Just genuine stock Hear that bomb going tick tick tock

    Gold lightning in the skyline Gold lightning in the sky Gold lightning in the skyline Gold lightning in the sky

    Oh baby I was born With a fast fuse I've got not time to love Just a city to abuse

    In the middle of the night When they come for you Where you gonna be? What you gonna do?

    Heaven may come And heaven may call But I won't be there [Hey hey!]

    Heaven may come And heaven may call But I won't be there [Hey hey!]

    Heaven may come And heaven may call But I won't be there [Hey hey!]

    Heaven may come And heaven may call But I won't be there [Hey hey!]

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
