1a. No one likes me, they think I?m no fun,
Seventh son of the seventh son,
Want to fit in, can?t be done,
They don?t know I?m the chosen one.
1b. Children cry when they see my face,
They don?t know I?ve been touched by grace.
Like Sir Arthur, got my modern day mace,
Don?t want the job, but it?s my chosen place.
Bridge:
Dark Obsession, ringing ?round my head,
They can?t kill me, I?m already dead.
(Got you) In my sights, my trigger I?ll pull,
I?m flying high and my clip is full.
2a. Climb up the tower, no one asks why,
No one stops me, I don?t have to lie.
Pidgeons take off into the sky,
Can?t see the brilliance, I wonder why?
2b. Fix my sights on the first one,
Wonder what he does for fun,
Pull my trigger, the mission?s begun,
Seventh son of the sevent son.
Bridge:
Dark Obsession, ringing ?round my head,
They can?t kill me, I?m already dead.
(Got you) In my sights, my trigger I?ll pull,
I?m flying high and my clip is full.
3a. Twenty-two dead before I stop.
Waiting now for the cop,
The one to release me, drop by drop,
Gonna take me to the top.
3b. I dreamed this all last night in my bed,
Keeps on goin? ?round and ?round my head.
Went to a shop and bought some lead,
After all, I?m already dead.
Bridge:
Dark Obsession, ringing ?round my head,
They can?t kill me, I?m already dead.
(Got you) In my sights, my trigger I?ll pull,
I?m flying high and my clip is full.
Top of the world, ma!
