I'm living on an endless road Around the world for rock and roll Sometimes it feels so tough But I still ain't had enough I keep saying that it's getting too much But I know I'm a liar Feeling alright in the noise and the light But that's what lights my fire Hellraiser, in the thunder and heat Hellraiser, rock you back in your seat Hellraiser, and I'll make it come true Hellraiser, I'll put a spell on you Walking out on another stage Another town, another place Sometimes I don't feel right Nerves wound up too damn tight People keep telling me it's bad for my health But kicking back don't make it Out of control, I play the ultimate role But that's what lights my fire Hellraiser, in the thunder and heat Hellraiser, rock you back in your seat Hellraiser, and I'll make it come true Hellraiser, I'll put a spell on you I'm living on an endless road Around the world for rock and roll Sometimes it feels so tough But I still ain't had enough Feeling all right in the noise and the light But that's what lights my fire Hellraiser, in the thunder and heat Hellraiser, rock you back in your seat Hellraiser, and I'll make it come true Hellraiser, I'll put a spell on you
