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

Oh 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
