This is a live performance of Bat Country which was originally featured on City of Evil.
There are some minor lyrical differences between this live performance and the original studio recording, but it’s a mostly faithful performance of the original song.
[Intro]
He who makes a beast out of himself
Gets rid of the pain of being a man
[Verse 1]
Caught here in a fiery blaze, won't lose my will to stay
I tried, to drive all through the night
The heat stroke ridden weather, the barren empty sights
No oasis, here to see
The sand is singing deathless words to me
[Chorus]
Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn? (All alone)
Too many doses, and I'm starting to get an attraction
My confidence is leaving me on my own (All alone)
No one can save me, and you know I don't want the attention
[Verse 2]
As I, adjust to my new sights
The rarely tired lights, will take me to new heights
My hand is on the trigger, I'm ready to ignite
Tomorrow might not make it, but everything's all right
Mental fiction, follow me
Show me what it's like to be set free
[Chorus]
Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn? (All alone)
Too many doses, and I'm starting to get an attraction
My confidence is leaving me on my own (All alone)
No one can save me, and you know I don't want the attention
[Post-Chorus]
So sorry you're not here, I've
Been sane too long, my vision's so unclear
Now you take a trip with me, but
Don't be surprised when things aren't what they seem
[Bridge]
Caught here in a fiery blaze, won't lose my will to stay
These eyes won't see the same, after I flip today
[Speaking: M. Shadows]
Alright Long Beach, I wanna see those hands in the fuckin' air!
How the fuck we doin' on this side?
How we doin' on this side?
I know we're doing good here right?
[Verse 3]
Sometimes I don't know why, we'd rather live than die
We look up towards the sky, for answers to our lives
Some get some solutions, but most just pass us by
I don't want your absolution, 'cause I can't make it right
[Hook]
I'll make a beast out of myself, yeah
Gets rid of all the pain of being a man
[Chorus]
Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn? (All alone)
Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction
My confidence is leaving me on my own (All alone)
No one can save me and you know I don't want the attention
[Post-Chorus]
So sorry you're not here, I've
Been sane too long my vision's so unclear
Now you take a trip with me, but
Don't be surprised when things aren't what they seem
[Outro]
I've known it from the start, all
These good ideas will tear your brain apart
Scared but you can follow me, I'm
Too weird to live but much too rare to die
[Speaking: M. Shadows]
Yo man we got a rowdy bunch tonight watch this
Repeat after me:
Hey!
Hey!
Hey, hey!
Hey, hey, hey!
I'm not insane!
