Текст песни
[Instrumental intro] [A single, loud, distorted power chord rings out, followed by a classic, bluesy, and instantly recognizable guitar riff from an Angus Young-style lead guitar. The rhythm guitar lays down a chunky, driving foundation. The drums kick in with a simple, powerful 4/4 rock beat—kick, snare, kick, snare. The bass follows the rhythm guitar with a thumping, no-nonsense line.]
[Verse 1] [Brian Johnson-style high-pitched, raspy vocals. The delivery is a powerful, rhythmic shout, full of grit and attitude.]
She's fast asleep, I'm wide awake!
Got my soul on the line for goodness sake!
Headphones on, but I can't hear a thing,
Just the buzzin' in my head that the bad times bring!
Talkin' 'bout us, yeah, you and me,
Was a fantasy, girl, now I'm finally free!
Gonna break this chain, gonna cut this cord,
I ain't your puppet on a string anymore!
[Chorus] [The whole band kicks into high gear. The riff is huge, with gang vocals shouting the key lines. It's a massive, anthemic stadium-rock chorus.]
'Cause I'm STONE! COLD! NUMB!
Yeah, the damage is done!
My heart's a machine, a loaded gun!
I'm STONE! COLD! NUMB!
Yeah, I'm on the run!
Your twisted little love ain't my number one!
[Verse 2] [The verse riff returns, just as driving. The vocals are full of swagger and defiance.]
You'll wake up one day, and I'll be gone!
A brand new day, a brand new dawn!
Don't look for me, don't even try,
I'm a lightning bolt across the sky!
You played your games, you told your lies,
Saw the devil dancin' in your eyes!
But this rock 'n' roll train is outta control,
Gonna take back my heart and my soul!
[Chorus] [Even bigger and louder this time. The energy is at its peak.]
'Cause I'm STONE! COLD! NUMB!
Yeah, the damage is done!
My heart's a machine, a loaded gun!
I'm STONE! COLD! NUMB!
Yeah, I'm on the run!
Your twisted little love ain't my number one!
[Guitar Solo] [A blistering, blues-based guitar solo full of bends, double-stops, and pure rock 'n' roll energy. The rhythm section holds down a rock-solid groove underneath.]
[Bridge] [The music drops down to just the thumping bass and drums, with the guitar playing single, sustained chords. The vocals are a low, menacing growl.]
Don't want your friendship...
Don't want your pity...
I'm leaving this heartbreak city!
[Chorus] [The band explodes back into the final chorus with maximum power. The vocals are at the top of their range.]
'Cause I'm STONE! COLD! NUMB!
Yeah, the damage is done!
My heart's a machine, a loaded gun!
I'm STONE! COLD! NUMB!
Yeah, I'm on the run!
Your twisted little love ain't my number one!
[Outro] [The band vamps on the main riff. The vocalist ad-libs shouts like "Stone cold!", "All night long!", "Yeah!". The lead guitar throws in a few more licks. The song ends with a series of huge, crashing chords and a final cymbal smash.] [End]
