I don't know but I've been told
The streets of hell are paved with gold
Crazy, crazy
You told me that nothing's free
Except my own insanity
Crazy, maybe
Wake me, shake me
Wake me, shake me
You offer me the world and all its wealth
All for myself
You promised me a life eternally
And drink to my health
I may seem only half-glued
But I can see right through you
Burn it up, burn it down
Burn this sucker to the ground
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Going, going, going, gone
There's a party going on
Do you think I don't know who you are
A fallen star
When I feel my soul scream out at night
I know you're not far
You need a better disguise
This one won't win any prize
Burn it up, burn it down
Burn this sucker to the ground
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Going, going, going, gone
There's a party going on
Cleansed by fire, cleansed by fire
I may seem only half-glued
But I can see right through you
What about dark
What about light
What about wrong
What about right
What about death
What about sin
What about the web you're trying to spin
What about truth
What about life
What about glory
What about Christ
What about peace
What about love
What about faith in God above
What about war
What about hell
What if I stumble
What if I fell
What about blood
What about greed
And all of these things you're offering me
Yeah, what about me, little me
You lose and I win
You couldn't suck me in
It's over, you have no power
You're lost
And I'm found
And I'm Heaven bound
Go back to where you belong
To where you fell
Go to hell
Alice's approach in this album is straight forward. He doesn't come across as preachy, but simply honest. He confesses things he struggles with (as do we all struggle), and talks about what concerns him in society. Thanks for the music and the message!
WOW !! Alice hit the nail on the head in a way no one else can, and I bet satan cringes every time Cleansed By Fire is played. If I never meet him in this world, I will see Alice in heaven... Those who say Alice is evil better look in the mirror and try to cleanse themselves before the fire gets hotter.
Oh yea, and the song ROCKS !
My husband bought me "The Last Temptation"cd from Alice Cooper for Christmas, and "Cleansed By Fire" is my favorite!!! My husband and I are both Born-again Christians, and it's almost like Alice is giving me a wonderful sermon from this song!!! It's SO uplifting, and encouraging to me!!! Alice is Heaven-bound, and so are my husband and I!!! We both LOVE Alice, and we are so proud of him!!! He is a wondeful Christian man, and he will surely get many rewards in Heaven!!!
