The Number of the Beast
(Iron Maiden)

I left alone, my mind was blank 
I needed time to think, to get the memories from my mind 
What did I see, can I believe 
That what I saw that night was real and not just fantasy 
Just what I saw in my old dreams 
Were the reflections of my woman staring back at me 
'cause in my dreams, it's always there 
The evil face that twists my mind and brings me to despair 

Six six six, the number of the beast 
Hell and fire was spawned to be released 

Torches blazed and sacred chants were praised 
And as they start to cry, their hands held to the sky 
And in the night, the fires burning bright 
The ritual has begun, Satan's work is done 

Six six six, the number of the beast 
Sacrifice is going on tonight 

I'm coming back, I will return 
I will possess your body and I'll make you burn 
'cause I have the fire, I have the force 
I have the power to make my evil take its course"Fins to the left...
Fins to the right...
Feeding Frenzy recorded live in Cincinnati tonight!"
She came down from Cincinnati
It took her three days on a train
Lookin' for some peace and quiet
Hopes to see the sun again

Lives down by the ocean
Takin' care to look for sharks
They hang out down around the Waterfront way
And feed right after dark

Chorus:
Can't you feel 'em circlin', honey
Can't you feel 'em schoolin' around
Fins to the left, fins to the right
You're the only bait in town
Oh oh
Oh oh
You got fins to the left, fins to the right
You're the only bait in town

Saving up most of her money
"I thought I saw something"
Wants to head it south in May
Roll in the sand with a rock 'n' roll man
Somewhere down Montserrat way

The money's still good in the season
Helps to lighten up her load
Boys keep her high as the months roll by
She's getting postcards from the road

Chorus:
Can't you feel 'em closin' in, honey
Can't you feel 'em schoolin' around
Fins to the left, fins to the right
You're the only bait in town

Sailed off to Antigua
Three days on a boat
Lookin' for some peace and quiet
Hopes to keep her dreams afloat

Feels like a remora
School's still close at hand
Just behind the reef are the big white teeth
The sharks that swim on the land

Chorus:
Can't you feel 'em circlin', honey
Can't you feel 'em schoolin' around
Fins to the left, fins to the right
You're the only bait in town
Hey you got fins to the left, fins to the right
You're the only girl in town

"Oh yeah! Sittin' here in the city of Atlanta, the state of Georgia, on the island of Margaritaville. Please remain standing for the national anthem."
