00:00Hey, this is iLuka, and you're in my room with Rolling Stone.

00:09This first song is called Wings.

00:10I was sixteen when they told me, girl, know your place, this ain't your world.

00:11If you dress like that, then you're asking for, and you go nowhere with a voice like

00:12yours.

00:13Fuck you.

00:14Fuck you.

00:15Fuck you.

00:16Fuck you.

00:17Fuck you.

00:18Fuck you.

00:19Fuck you.

00:20Fuck you.

00:21Fuck you.

00:22Fuck you.

00:23Fuck you.

00:24Fuck you.

00:25Fuck you.

00:26Fuck you.

00:27Fuck you.

00:28Fuck you.

00:29Fuck you.

00:30So I saw them broken, so I kept on lookin'.

00:31As they said, hush little girl, don't make a scene.

00:32Just cross those legs, forget that dream.

00:33But that ain't something I'll ever do.

00:34Said you can't be a witch in your cowboy boots.

00:35Slumped down, tall puppy when I'm scorchin' their brand.

00:44The crowd grew on me after the kill.

00:49Told me how to dress and how to feel.

00:56They held me down.

00:58But I loved it when they came around.

00:59Look at me now, look at what I've built No freedom without the will, no thought for

01:06much Wait a night on this hill, some choose the

01:09cage Cause they love the gale, my wings too bad

01:12but never will

01:19Mary Magdalene had some fun Some called her a whore, some called her

01:24a nun Was she the baddest bitch in Bethlehem?

01:28We'll never know, cause the story's written by a man

01:36Saw her ballerina on a farm, it made me sad Why you locking up a girl who can dance like

01:42that? You crave the shine that she once had, so

01:45you cage the bird, cause it won't fly back

01:50For the killer

01:53How to feel

01:58Look at me now, look at what I've built No freedom without the will, no thought for

02:03much Wait a night on this hill, some choose the

02:06cage Cause they love the gale, my wings too bad

02:09but never will

02:17I live to see another day I live to write my story of

02:28I live to find my glory Won't let them speak, no, it's for me

02:35And I'll be damned

02:45No freedom without the will, no thought for much Wait a night on this hill, some choose

02:50the cage Cause they love the gale, my wings too bad

02:53No freedom without the will, no thought for much Wait a night on this hill, some choose

03:02the cage Cause they love the gale, my wings too bad

03:23I know you played me for a fool I should know better than to break all my

03:43rules I blame myself, shouldn't kiss and tell

03:50Boys like you, they're never good for my health

03:56Now you've found yourself a shiny new tool

04:03Well I met your mother at the chateau Said there's no other, yeah I should've known

04:11Down to the gutter, that's where you go But you learn your lesson when I get done

04:20You better run, run, run, run for your life

04:28You told me it's love, love, love without burning your knife

04:36You lie like the devil, it ain't accidental But you found a goal, it sinks down to your level

04:45You better run, run, run, it's a bloody affair And I'll set my thoughts in rest

04:58I bet you kiss her soft and slow And fly her to meet you in Mexico

05:11She likes to pretend that she's just a friend But she's an accomplice to all of your sins

05:22Well I got a feeling that you know how this goes

05:28Look so good together, oh what a pair She's so heavy metal with her long black hair

05:37Put on the pedal, you should be scared But you learn your lesson when I get done

05:46You better run, run, run, run for your life

05:54You told me it's love, love, love without burning your knife

06:01You lie like the devil, it ain't accidental But you found a goal, it sinks down to your level

06:11You better run, run, run, it's a bloody affair

06:19They say it's a tragedy you're bringing out in me Said I should be more like you, aren't you proud of me?

06:28Stand up for what I said, run until you're lost But won't you leave, I'd always love you to die

06:38You better run, run, run, run for your life

06:46You told me it's love, love, love without burning your knife

06:54You lie like the devil, it ain't accidental But you found a goal, it sinks down to your level

07:03You better run, run, run, it's a bloody affair

07:10And I send my thoughts to prayers

07:23When I met you, the first thing I said is that I would be leaving

07:47And the blue light, you leaned back in your chair, and you ordered another

07:59And when I pulled out all my skeletons, you weren't afraid of them at all

08:11I packed my things, flew to America Now every night at ten, you call

08:21I'm out chasing glory, still writing my story I'm sorry for your heart, that it fell for mine

08:33I'm always in motion, can't bottle the ocean It's so hard to love me, but I love that you tried

08:45Love that you tried

08:48Put the Pacific between us, babe Only one in the whole damn world

09:08I'm always crying on airplanes Always on to the next goodbye

09:19I get too proud to admit I'm wrong Or to see my faults sometimes

09:31Get so caught up trying to shoot the moon Always leaving you behind

09:42I'm out chasing glory, still writing my story I'm sorry for your heart, that it fell for mine

09:53I'm always in motion, can't bottle the ocean It's so hard to love me, but I love that you tried

10:05Love that you tried

10:10Oh, I love that you tried

10:14You know that I'm reckless, impatient and restless Might make you regret this, but you're still holding on

10:33I'm sorry for your heart, that it fell for mine

10:39I'm always in motion, can't bottle the ocean It's so hard to love me, but I love that you tried

10:51Love that you tried

10:57Oh, I love that you tried

11:02Oh, I love that you tried

11:33Do you want me or just my soul You pulled me kicking down below

11:48If I work myself to the bone Would you give me peace, let me back home

11:55Hold me down in the water deep Where the hounds of hell can't break my sleep

12:07See, I've been down that old dark road I saw you standing in the cold

12:14Windows far to keep us from the love and the hate

12:18I don't know which way to go But I feel it in my bones, so I pray

12:28Release me from the chains below I can't be the only haunted one

12:38Release me from the loss and long I can't be the only haunted one

12:48So draw a line right through this hell I'll fight him off with my own hands

12:58See, I've been down that old dark road I saw you standing in the cold

13:03Windows far to keep us from the love and the hate

13:08I don't know which way to go But I feel it in my bones, so I pray

13:17Release me from the chains below I can't be the only haunted one

13:27Release me from the loss and long I can't be the only haunted one

13:37Release me from the chains below I can't be the only haunted one

13:47Release me from the loss and long I can't be the only haunted one

13:57So I got down on my knees to pray No, I can't bear to live this way

14:07Oh, I got down on my knees to pray I can't bear to live this way
