Arena of Pleasure

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
