Arena of Pleasure Lyrics


I don't know where I'm going, but I can't wait to get there

All I know is, I'm just going

I ran away from home last night, gone forever

I was running for my life

And I've heard the words of what I should be

Live, Work, Die, I am the orphan of the night

Take me down, I'm coming home, the road to ruins

Inside the pleasure dome

Take me down, I'm coming home, arena of pleasures

Where I belong

I'm in the eye of my rage, where no hurricane dies

I'm in the eye of my rage, where the hurricane lies

Oh, a storm's in my eyes

And like the beast that's in my soul, I'm the restless child

Ah mama, I'm running for my life

Take me down, I'm coming home, the road to ruins

Inside the pleasure dome

Take me down, I'm coming home, arena of pleasures

Where I belong

I was sixteen going nowhere, will I see seventeen alive

And I was running from the nightmare

I stand at the promised land with fire in my eyes

I'm at the crossroad of my destiny and desire

Oh, God, what will I be

And my obsession is the gasoline to feed my fire

Oh it's burning in me

Take me down, I'm coming home, the road to ruins

Inside the pleasure dome

Take me down, I'm coming home, arena of pleasures

Where I belong

Don't waste the tears on my wasted years

Mama I'm outta here
