Gimme fuel
Gimme fire
Gimme that which I desire
Oh

Turn on, I see red
Adrenaline crash and crack my head
Nitro junkie, paint me dead
And I see red
I run across through black and white
War horse
War head
Fuck 'em, man
White knuckle tight
Through black and white
When I burn
Fuel is pumping engines
Burning hard
Loose and clean
And then I burn
Turning my direction
Quench my thirst with gasoline
So gimme fuel
Turn on beyond the bone
Swallow future, spit out hope
Burn your face upon the chrome
Yeah, oh yeah
Take the corner, going to crash
Headlights
Headlines
Another junkie, who lives too fast
Lives way too fast, fast, fast, fast, fast, fast
Oh yeah
My desire
And on and on
On I burn
2. The Memory Remains (Hetfield/Ulrich)
---------------------------------------
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
But the memory remains
Heavy rings on fingers wave
Another star denies the grave
See the nowhere crowd cry the nowhere tears of honor
Like twisted vines that grow
Hide and swallow mansions whole
And dim the light of an already faded prima donna
Heavy rings hold cigarettes
Up to lips that time forgets
While the Hollywood sun sets behind your back
And can't the band play on
Just listen, they play my song
Ash to ash
Dust to dust
Fade to black
Dance little tin goddess
Nananananana nananada nananananana nanananadana
Drift away
Fade away
Little tin goddess
The memories remain
To this faded prima donna
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Dance little tin goddess dance
Nananananana nananada nanananana nanananadana
Rararararara dararara rarararara dararararara
Rararararara dararara rarararara dararararara (Say yes, at least say hello)
Rararararara dararara rarararara (Say yes, at least say hello)

4. The Unforgiven II (Hetfield/Ulrich/Hammett)
----------------------------------------------
Lay beside me
Tell me what they've done
Speak the words I wanna hear
To make my demons run
The door is locked now
But it's open if you're true
If you can understand the me
Then I can understand the you
Under wicked sky
The black of day
Dark of night
We share this paralyze
The door cracks open
But there's no sun shining through
Black heart scarring darker still
No, there's no sun shining through
No, there's no sun shining
What I've felt
What I've known
Turn the pages
Turn the stone
Behind the door
Should I open it for you?
Sick and tired
I stand alone
Could you be there
'cause I'm the one who waits for you
Or are you unforgiven too?
Come lay beside me
This won't hurt, I swear
She loves me not
She loves me still
But she'll never love again
She lay beside me
But she'll be there when I'm gone
Yes, she'll be there when I'm gone
Dead sure she'll be there
Tell me what I've done
The door is closed, so are your eyes
But now I see the sun
Now I see the sun
Yes, now I see it
So sick and tired
'cause I'm the one who waits
The one who waits for you
So I dub thee unforgiven
Oh, what I've felt
Oh, what I've known
I take this key
And I bury it in you
Because you're unforgiven too
Never free
Never me
'cause you're unforgiven too
5. Better Than You (Hetfield/Ulrich)
------------------------------------
I look at you, then you me
Hungry and thirsty I wait
Holding the lion's share
Holding the key
Holding me back 'cause I'm striving to be
Better than you (better than you)
Lock homes I push, and I strive
Somehow I feel more alive
Bury the need for it
Bury the seed
Bury me deep when there's no will to be
Oh Better than you (better than you)
Oh, can't stop this train from rolling
Oh, yo, nothing brings me down
No, can't stop this train from rolling on and on, on
No, no, forever on and on
Oh, yo, you can't take it down
No, never stop this locomotion on and on and on

Wear them into town
See you crawling
There ain't no heroes here

9. Where The Wild Things Are (Hetfield/Ulrich/Newsted)
------------------------------------------------------
So wake up sleepy one
It's time to save your world
Steal dreams and give to you
Shop lift a thought or two
All children touch the sun
Burn fingers one by one
By one
Will this earth be good to you?
Keep you clean or stain through?
You're where the wild things are
Toy soldiers off to war
Big eyes to open too
Believing now under sun and moon
But does heaven know you're here?
And did they give you smiles or tears?
No, no tears
You swing your ass all down
Call to arms, a trumpet's sound
Toy horses start the charge
Robots, chessmen standing guard
We shall never surrender
All you children touch the sun
Burn your fingers one by one
Off to war
So close your little eyes
10. Prince Charming (Hetfield/Ulrich)
There's a black cloud overhead
That's me
And the poison ivy chokes the tree
Again it's me
I'm the filthy one on Bourbon Street
You walk on by
I'm the little boy that pushes hard
And makes it cry
There's a dirty needle in your child
Haha, stick me
Empty bottles still in hand, still dead
Still me
I'm the suit and tie that breaks the street
And still wants more
I'm the 45 that's in your mouth
I'm a dirty, dirty whore
Look it's me
The one who can't be free
Much too young to focus
But too old to see
When no one wants to see
See what you brought this world
Just what you wanna see
Hey ma
Hey ma, look it's me
He wants to become father now
Me again, me
The marks inside your arms still leaves me alone to me
I'm the nothing face that plants a bomb
And strolls away
I'm the one who doesn't look quite right
As children play
It's me
Look up to me
What you've been and what you've feared
Look it's me, what you hear
See right through me
See the one who can't be free
Look it's me when no one wants to see
Hm, now see the black cloud overhead
Hm, in this poison ivy chokes the tree
And I'm the filthy one on Bourbon Street
And I'm the little boy that pushes, pushes
Makes it cry
Hey, hey
See right though me
11. Low Man's Lyric (Hetfield/Ulrich)
My eyes seek reality
My fingers seek my veins
There's a dog at your back step
He must come in from the rain
I fall 'cause I let go
The net below has rot away
So my eyes seek reality
And my fingers seek my veins
The trash fire is warm
But nowhere safe from the storm
And I can't bear to see
What I've let me be
So wicked and worn
So as I write to you
Of what is done and to do
Maybe you'll understand
And won't cry for this man
'cause low man is due
Please forgive me
My fingers feel for faith
Touch clean with a dirty hand
I touched the clean to the waste
So as I write to you, yeah
Of what is done and to do, yeah
So low the sky is all I see
All I want from you is forgive me
So you bring this poor dog in from the rain
Though he just wants right back out again
And I cry to the alleyway
Confess all to the rain
But I lie, lie straight to the mirror
The one I've broken to match my face
12. Attitude (Hetfield/Ulrich)
------------------------------
Suppose I say
I'm never satisfied
You cut some root
To make the tree survive
Just let me kill you for a while
Just let me kill you for a smile
Just let me kill you once
I'm oh so bored to death
Oh, I hunger
I hunger
I eat
Born into attitude
Asleep at the wheel
Throw all your bullets in the fire
And run like hell
Why cure the fever?
What ever happened to sweat?
The vultures smile at me
I set them down
They plan to pick you clean
And satisfaction this way comes
And satisfaction's here and gone
Gone, yeah, and gone again
And stand there
Twist mother tongue
Just let me kill you once for me
I'm bored to death
Gone, gone again
Yeah, I hunger
Throwing all your bullets in the fire
13. Fixxxer (Hetfield/Ulrich/Hammett)
Dolls of voodoo all stuck with pins
One for each of us and our sins
So you lay us in a line
Push your pins, they make us humble
Only you can tell in time
If we fall or merely stumble
But tell me
Can you heal what father's done
Or fix this hole in a mother's son
Can you heal the broken worlds within
Can you strip away so we may start again
Tell me, can you heal what father's done
Or cut this rope and let us run
Just when all seems fine and I'm pain free
You jab another pin
Jab another pin in me
Mirror, mirror upon the wall
Break the spell or become the doll
See you sharpening the pins
So the holes will remind us
We're just the toys in the hands of another
And in time the needles turn from shine to rust
Jab it
Blood for face
Sweat for dirt
Three X's for the stone
To break this curse
A ritual's due
I believe I'm not alone
Shell of shotgun
Pint of gin
Numb us up to shield the pins
Renew our faith
Which way we can
To fall in love with life again
To fall in love
So tell me
Yeah, tell me, can you heal what father's done
No more pins in me, yeah
No more, no more pins in me
No more, no more, no more
No, no, no
