HELLOWEEN LYRICS single: "Number One" (1991)

1. Number One

Each time when one more year was over

You refused to hear heavven's bells sound

And the happiness in you heart's been set lower

You were searching for friends but no one seemed to be 'round

You merely should think of the good times

'Cos there are so many ways you can go

Take a look at yourself, you're still very young

And big aims always take very long

Now it's time for happiness, stay hard and trust your fate

Don't forget you're something else you'll never be too late

Trust your fathers' mighty spell you'll never be alone

Fate will always turn out well and you'll be number one

Shout at the world don't care what they say

'Cos your life is now, here and today

Luck is there, ev'rywhere

Go on, reap its goods, that's the way

You wanna have truth, relief from your pain

But life takes its toll again and again

Don't fear the night--your future is paid

And the tracks to your aims are laid

Now it's time. . .

3. You Run With The Pack

To give what I got, to take what I need to live, it ain't easy for me,

Darken my eyes, tell me lies, but all nice, tell me how I have to be,

Get me in your foolish game, destroy my defence, lock me in,

Throw me in your lion's cage, 'cos then I'm out of your way,

Cry with the wolves, run with the pack,

Turn around to save your neck,

'Cos someone always keeps you in confusion,

Squeezed in a box, who'll win the race,

Ask no questions in this case,

What's left is only you and your illusions,

Charity is all your duty, they preach you: sharing your goods is your pride,

Patriotic-Love, kill the enemy first, I can hear the other side,

What's the way out of this game? You'll either win or you lose,

I run in circles, who's to blame? Is there a way I can choose?

I'm juggling on a rope without a net and hope,

I keep my balance 'cos I see them smile with open jaws,

And if I'm falling down, then I will soon be torn.

A squabble over prey: who gets the best part out of me,

To take the needle is a one-way trip without a coming back,

You take it and you still will see reality'll make upon you.
