In another world
Skew Siskin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look at me, I'm born insane
I'm the mad machine who plays a dangerous game

Have no fear, feel no pain
Got one desire burning in my brain
J-j-j-just don't care
I do or dare
Get out of way
Don't try to preach and pray

In another world
Have you ever been
To another world
Oh, it feels so extreme

Inside, I'm on my own
In this world, you gotta learn to be alone
Ice cold water runnin' through my veins
If you get some luck, baby
You might get back some change
All dressed in black
Gotta little monkey on my back
Hey man, look the other way
'Cause I got no money today

In another world
Have you ever been
To another world
Oh, it feels so extreme

I gotta live it through
I gotta live it up
I feel good, baby, yes I do

I can't sleep
I can't sleep
Can you feel the feel, the feel, the feel, the feel, the creep

I'm out of touch, I'm out of mind
I'm out of sight, I'm out of time

Aaaaahhhh, I feel all right, I feel so fine, I feel good
Feel all right, feel all right I feel all right, I feel all right

Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it
Push, push, push, push, push, push, push, push

I can't sleep, leave on the light
Feel the fire inside my blood, exploding dynamite
Got my mind shot in the air and the wind is blowing cold out there




Take me high 'cause birds got to fly
I take what I can get, it's a blow your mind roulette
