A racing stampede, down in the valley

The waves are horses made of mercury

Our boat is shaking, wet timber aching

Helter-skelter in the pouring rain



The boiling river's driving me insane

The rain-gods are calling my name..

The end of the world is already in sight!



Midnight in China..

We're stuck between the devil and

The deep blue sea

Heaven! Fire!

The angels of hell found their heaven on earth



Caught in ancient China

The slaves just pull the ropes

A never-ending tug of war

And the river always wins the game!

Helter-skelter in the pouring rain

The rain-gods are calling my name



Midnight in China..

We're stuck between the devil and

The deep blue sea

Heaven! Fire!

The angels of hell found their heaven on earth!



Heaven... heaven!

The angels of hell...

Found their heaven on earth..



Midnight in China..

We're stuck between the devil and

The deep blue sea

Heaven! Fire!

The angels of hell found their heaven on earth!



Hell found their heaven on earth!

Heaven! Fire!

Heaven! Fire
