Welcome, baby
You bought the ticket
For the thrillride
I was God in a room with no door
Bored to death on a marble floor
Cracked the sky just to taste the fall
Wrote the nightmare, I'm the star of it all
Smoke in my mouth, gold in my veins
Every scar I wear, I bought and named
Spin me, sin me, let me burn—
(Hee-hee!) It's my turn
Don't save my soul (Yeah!)
I paid for every chill
Don't wash me clean (Uh!)
I was born to feel the spill
(Three— two— one—)
(Silence!)
(Thrill!) Ride, ride, ride the thrill
Every scar's a souvenir
Ride, ride, ride the thrill
I came this far to disappear
Bite me, break me, drag me through
Heaven was a cage—I broke it loose
Ride 'til the dark lets go—
(Shamone!) Then I'm going home
Then I'm going home
(Shamone!) Then I'm going home
Neon cuts me like a midnight blade
Mirror drinks me through the flashing haze
Kiss the saint, then kiss the snake
Both taste sweet when the whole floor shakes
Crowds go wild, I drink their light
Every bruise turns gold tonight
Silk and venom, slow and bright
(Hoo!) Breathe me in
Don't pull me back (Yeah!)
This thrillride is mine
Don't wash me clean (Uh!)
I bled to draw the line
(Last time—)
(Silence!)
(Thrill!) Ride, ride, ride the thrill
Every scar's a souvenir
Ride, ride, ride the thrill
I came this far to disappear
Crave me, break me, make me choose
Pleasure looks best dressed up in bruises
Ride 'til the dark lets go—
(Shamone!) Then I'm going home
Then I'm going home
(Shamone!) Then I'm going home
You signed the night
You named the flame
You begged for forever
You loved the game
I came here to feel
...and feeling's all that's real
(BOOM!)
(One more ride!)
(One more ride!)
(One more ride!)
Ride it, ride it, ride it, ride it
Ride it, ride it, ride it, r-r-r-
Scar by scar, I rise—
Out of the cage, let go—
Then I'm going home
One last thrillride
Then I'm going home
(Home... home... home...)
Welcome home, baby
