Turn up the Night (3:42)

A rumble of thunder, I'm suddenly under your spell No rhyme or reason, or time of the season, but oh well

The darkened deliver, I shake and I shiver down your soul

You know what to cover, I think for another it's a story told

So get a good hold, yeahRegiment fooled you, you thought that you knew who you are

A simple equation, that's the relation, but that's gone too far

A time of suspicion, a special condition that we all know

So let it all go!

Turn up the night!

Turn up the night!

Turn up the night, it feels so right!

Nighttime sorrow, taken like a pain

Black will not become a white, it's all the sameEvil lurks in twilight, dances in the dark

Makes you need the movement, like a fire needs a spark to burn!

A rumble of thunder, I'm suddenly under your spell

No rhyme or reason, or time of the season, but oh well

The darkened deliver, I shake and I shiver down your soul

So get a good hold, yeah

Turn up the night!

Turn up the night!

Turn up the night, it feels so right!Turn up the night!

Turn up the night!

If it feels right

Turn off the light!Turn up the night!

Voodoo (4:32) Say you don't know me, you'll burn

You can refuse, but you'll lose, it's by me

Say you don't want me, you'll learn

Nothin' you do will be new, 'cause I'm throughCall me a liar, you knew

You were a fool, but that's cool, it's all right

Call me the Devil, it's true

Some can't accept but I crept inside you

So if a stranger calls you

Don't let him whisper his name

'Cause it's Voodoo, oh!Fade into shadow, you'll burn

Your fortune is free, I can see it's no good Never look back, never turn

It's a question of time 'till your mine and you learn

So if a stranger sees you

Don't look in his eyes

'Cause he's Voodoo!

Say you don't know me, you'll burnYou can refuse, but you'll lose, it's by me

Say you don't want me, you'll learn

Nothin' you do will be new, 'cause I'm through

Voodoo!

Bring me your children, they'll burn!

Never look back, never turn!

Cry me a river, you'll learn Voodoo!!

The Sign of the Southern Cross (7:46) If there isn't light when no one sees

Then how can I know what you might believe?

A story told that can't be real

Somehow must reflect the truth we feel, yeahFade away, fade away

Vanish into small

Fade away, fade away

Break the crystal ball - OH!

It's the sign

Feels like the time!

On a small world, west of wonder

Somwhere, nowhere allThere's a rainbow that will shimmer

When the summer falls

If an echo darts in dancer

When it hears a certain song

Then the beast is free to wander

But never is seen around

And it's the Sign of the Southern Cross

It's the Sign of the Southern Cross

All right

Sail awayTo the sign

Ohh

From the book, the word is spokenWhispers from forgotten psalms

Gather all around the young ones

They will make us strong

Reach above your dreams of pleasure

Given life to those who diedLook beyond your own horizons

Sail the ship of signs

And it's the Sign of the Southern Cross

Break the crystal ball


I can't accept it anymoreOn a real world, west of wonder

Somwhere, nowhere allThere's a rainbow, see it shimmer

When the summer falls

>From the book, the word is spoken

Whispers from forgotten psalms

Gather all around the young ones

They will make us strong!It's the Sign of the Southern Cross


Don't live for pleasure

Make life your treasure

Fade away!

Eight miles high, about to fall

And no one there to catch you

Look for the sign, the timeThe Sign of the Southern Cross, yeah

E5150 (2:54) Instrumental.

The Mob Rules (3:14) Close the city and tell the people that something's coming to callDeath and darkness are rushing forward to take a bite from the wall, oh

You've nothing to say

They're breaking away

If you listen to fools...

The Mob Rules

The Mob Rules

Kill the spirit and you'll be blinded, the end is always the same

Play with fire, you burn your fingers and lose your hold of the flame, ohIt's over, it's done

The end is begunIf you listen to fools...

The Mob Rules

You've nothing to say

Oh, They're breaking away

If you listen to fools...

Break the circle and stop the movement, the wheel is thrown to the ground

Just remember it might start rolling and take you right back around

You're all fools!The Mob Rules!

Country Girl (4:02) Fell in love with a country girl, morning sunshine

She was up from a nether world, just to bust another soul

Her eyes were an endless flame, holy lightning

Desire with a special name, made to snatch your soul away, yeah

We sailed away on a crimson tide, gone forever

8/14/2019 10 Mob Rules © 1981


Left my heart on the other side, all to break it into bits

Her smile was a winter song, a Sabbath ending

Don't sleep or you'll find me gone, just an image in the air

In dreams I think of you

I don't know what to do with myself Time has let me down

She brings broken dreams, fallen starsThe endless search for where you are

(Sail on, sail on)

Fell in love with a country girl, morning sunshine

She was up from a nether world, just to bust another soul

Her eyes were an endless flame, unholy lady

Desire with a special name, made to snatch your soul away, oh!Don't sail away on a crimson tide!

Don't leave your heart on the other side!

Her eyes are an endless flame

Desire with a special name

Don't ever fall in love!

Don't give your heart away!

No never, never fall in love with a country girl!

Slipping Away (3:45) Slipping away, just a heartbeat from disaster

Nothing could make me stay, close your eyes and I'll be gone

Turn the page, yeah, time to start another story

Slipping away, slipping away, time to move along No reason to stay

Oh, when I'm slipping away

Take a look at yourself, you've been running in a circle

Round and round you go, you're a start without an end

Start a new life, yeah, from the city of the gypsies

Running away, slipping away, right behind the plow

Slipping away

Slipping away Nobody to pay

Look out, 'cause I'm slipping away

Rockin' the glass, I won't leave you my reflection

A future without a past, no more road to take me back

Come if you will, just don't question my direction

Running away, slipping away, we can find the sun

Slipping away

Slipping away

Got nobody to pay

And you're slippin' away No more running in a circle

It's time to move along

Round, round, round we goA start without an end

So I'm slipping away

Slipping away

Falling off the Edge of the World (5:02) I think about closing the door

And lately I think of it more

I'm living well out of my time

8/14/2019 10 Mob Rules © 1981


I feel like i'm losing my mind

I should be at the table round

A servant of the crown

The keeper of the sign

To sparkle and to shine Never, no never again!

Listen to me and believe what I say if you can Never, this is the end

You know I've seen the faces of doom and I'm only a man

Help me, tell me I'm sane

I feel a change in the earth, in the wind and the rain

Save me, take me away

You know I've seen some creatures from hell and I've heard what they say!I've got to be strong

Oh, I'm falling off the edge of the world

Think you're safe, but you're wrong!

We are falling off the edge of the world!

Look out! there's danger! no where to run!

It seems like desperate measures but sometimes it has to be done

Over, it's over at last

There's a message inside as we build a new life from the pastWe're falling off the edge of the world!

Yes, the edge of the world!It's the end of the world!

Over & Over (5:28) Sometimes I feel like I'm dying at dawn

And sometimes I'm warm as fire

But lately I feel like I'm just gonna rain

And it goes over, and over, and over again, yeah

Too many flames, with too much to burn

And life's only made of paper

Oh, how I need to be free of this pain

But it goes over, and over, and over, and over againYeah, sometimes I cry for the lost and alone

And for their dreams that will all be ashes

But lately I feel like I'm just gonna rain

And it goes over, and over, and over, and over again
