[Verse 1]

Last night in paradise

I can feel it down in my bones

Left the good Lord behind

Now I die on the vine

Waiting for my redemption song


[Pre-Chorus]

I am never safe

Just a walking bomb

In a midnight rage

And I'm gone


[Chorus]

Getting off this wicked stone

'Cause I can't stay and I cannot deny

That all I want is lost

No, I can't face another night on this wicked stone


[Verse 2]

I rolled and tumbled down

And I cursed till the morning light

From the mountain, I fell

To the depths of a hell

I was destined and born to find


[Pre-Chorus]

Once a rolling stone

Now a falling star

Once so close to home

Now so far


[Chorus]

I'm getting off this wicked stone

'Cause I can't stay and I cannot deny

That all I want is lost

No, I can't face another night on this wicked stone


[Bridge]

Now you might say I'm good for nothing

And I might say that you are right, yeah

Cannot crawl away from this ball and chain

It's got me tethered to a world of pain

I'm digging my own grave this time

On this wicked stone tonight


[Guitar Solo]


[Chorus]

I'm getting off this wicked stone

'Cause I can't stay and I cannot deny

That all I want is lost

No, I can't face another night on this wicked stone


[Outro]

This wicked stone

Wicked stone, yeah

Another night on this wicked stone

Yeah, yeah, yeah
