I hate to say this, but I always listen to the music and the instrumentation first, and then grab on to the lyrics later.

On a street of right and wrong in every inch of sadness, rocks and tanks go hand in hand with madness.

He'd been drinking in a bar downtown, when he thought he heard a choir of angels singing in the Tiki Lounge. And that's when he got religion.

And there are men behind bars who pray for the light and there are men in the suburbs who pray for the night.

To forgive and be forgiven, if it's the last thing I do, then in death's release I may find the peace that in life I never knew.

At heart I've always been a music fan. That part of me has never changed since I was a little kid, sitting in a room watching a record go round, looking at the colour of the labels.

I had to learn how to function as a human being. And I really enjoyed that process.
