Motörhead - I Know What You Need Lyrics

You better turn me loose
I got a trick up my sleeve
If you don't wanna wake up bleeding
You better tell me I can leave

Now the dark man's coming
He's gonna strike you to the bone
He's a voodoo Medusa
Gonna turn you into stone

Will you obey the master
When he sets you free?
Don't you think there'll be a price?
I know what you are, I know what you need

Are you dreaming in your coma?
How do you know for sure?
Could be your mind in the silence
Could be they couldn't find a cure

Now a bad man coming
Gonna shoot you full of holes
He's a true believer
Gonna crucify your soul

Can you pay the jester
To watch you while you sleep?
Can you be sure his heart's as pure?
I know what you are, I know what you need

Now here's the execution
All around your bed
Are you gonna feel the axe blade
When it separates your head?

See the hooded man coming
Maybe the last thing you'll see
You can struggle like a maniac
But you'll never get free

Can you play the traitor?
Can you make men believe?
Will you turn and laugh as they burn?
I know what you are, I know what you need

Can you play the dead man?
Can you cease to breathe?
Will you cry when you're buried alive?
I know what you are, I know what you are
I know what you need, I know what you need
