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 earthCaught 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 nameMidnight 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!
