Stone Dead Forever Lyrics
You think you see me, in the glass
You think you hear me, you better listen fast,
I think I see you, gone to seed,
The only reasons, were your guilt and greed,
You're out there on your own,
Your face turned to stone,
Whatever happened to your life?
Stone Dead Forever
It's been a long time, been a long long wait,
And you've caught your fingers, in the Pearly Gates,
You'd better leave your number, and we'll call you,
You know your problems, ain't exactly new,
The wrong side of the fold,
Your touch has turned to gold,
Whatever happened to your life?
Stone Dead Forever
You're a financial wizard, a top tycoon,
A sweet lounge lizard, with a silver spoon,
You know you never had it, quite so good,
'Cos you didn't know, that you even could,
But the time has come to pay,
Turns out to have been a play,
Whatever happened to your life?
Stone Dead Forever
No comments? After its Metallica exposure AND it being one of Motorhead's best songs? Shame on you. I (think) it's about one corrupting themselves with greed. Metaphorically, all he touches turned to gold, and now the guy has turned to gold/stone. Now he's stone dead forever.
I think you hit it right on the ball, frye. And why doesn't this song have more comments? This is a Metal Masterpiece. Always preferred the Motorhead version to the Metallica one.
Yeah the Motorhead version is way better than Metallica. Love Lemmy's vocals especially, perfect for the nature of song..
