A Lesson Not Learned Lyrics

Walking down the narrow street of 40th and Main

I catch a rushing cab

With nowhere worthwhile to go I say go down the road

He grins an evil smile

I take a look around as the world changes shape

The acid melts my brain

The meter stops and it says 50 bucks are due

He takes some coke as pay

And this creates the dream

Beauty in horror lies unseen

And if you want, he said

I'll show you what it means

To be free

Injection number one

Are you even having fun?

Your eyes glazed over with a light

Injection number two

You question what is true

Your eyes lose sight of what is right

And this creates the dream

Beauty in horror lies unseen

And if you want, he said

I'll show you what it means

To be free

Infection on your hands

Another dying man

His body starts to rot outside

Police show at the scene

If there's proof that things are mean

It surely lies in those dead eyes

And this creates the dream

Beauty in horror lies unseen

And if you act like all is well

Perhaps I'll keep you from hell
