Out in the cold in the dead of the night On a long, dark street where they`re burning down the fires I keep a run-run-runnin` and i run for my life They`re trying to pull me underneath but i`ll keep on standing tight Now, there`s no rest for the wicked There is no love I`ve got a hell on my back (hell on my back) They`re breathing down my neck so bad (hell on my back) Now, i`ve seen the backstabbers with their fingers on the daggers It`s a black, black world and it couldn`t get much blacker With a 10 ton hammer i`m protecting my own We`re gonna see who`s who when the metal meets the bone Now, there`s no rest for the wicked There is no love I`ve got a hell on my back (hell on my back) They`re breathing down my neck so bad (hell on my back) -lead- I`ve got a hell on my back (hell on my back) They`re breathing down my neck so bad (hell on my back)
