Mike Steps Out And....

Walking the streets for some mercy I seek .
I stepped up into a bar .
They remember me , the way I used to be .
At a time that's slipped by , by far .
A young man comes up , he get's in my face .
He wants to be a bar room superstar.
I am fine and free til he layed hands on me .
So I put him through the windshield of his car .
   Tearing 'em up , tearing them down .
   Why in the world did I go downtown ?
   Boozing it up , burning me down .
   Enjoying the sight of his blood on the ground .
   I guess I thought it was unthinkable .
   That I would ever find this piece again .
   The place where Mike steps out .
   And the devil steps in .
Stomping about removing the doubt .
Tonight's not the night to mess with me .
If you're in my site on a black hearted night .
You may want to take your chance to flee .
Some dude's on my back , wants to sell me some crack .
I wave him off but he won't leave me be .
Following me around while I am as cold as the ground .
So I gave him something for free .
   I tore him up , I tore him down .
   Left him laying face down on the ground .
   This beast won't stop , my head's ready to pop .
   Please PLEASE just let me be .
   I guess I should go home .
   But I am getting weighed down by where I've been .
   The place where Mike steps out .
   And the devil steps in .
I woke up next day my hands were gnaraled , my senses frayed.
Remembering everything from the night befor .
Damning the side of me , that can let things get away from me .
As I stare at my blood stained shirt laying on the bedroom floor.
I offer no excuse for my actions to myself or any of you .
Yes I know it's my fault that the darkness escaped .
But looking back at it now , I really do not feel bad any how .
They were scum that deserved it anyways !
   Tearing 'em up , tearing them down .
   Why in the world did I go downtown ?
   Boozing it up , burning me down .
   Enjoying the sight of his blood on the ground .
   I guess I thought it was unthinkable .
   That I would ever find this piece again .
   The place where Mike steps out .
   And the devil steps in .
