Theme
Written for the movie *Last Action Hero* (1993), this version of **'Angry Again'** is a signature track on the topic of **uncontrollable rage** and inner conflict, focusing on the mental and physical sensation of fury that leads to a breakdown. The imagery of reflection and self-destruction is pronounced.
Lyrics
The more of you that I **inspect**
The more of me I **see reflect**
The more I try to **read your lips**
The more the **mask you're wearing rips**
But when I seek out your voice
My ears are **overcome with noise**
You **show and tell with greatest ease**
**Raving impossibilities**
**Engaged in crime I grasp my throat**
**Enraged my mind starts to smoke**
**Enforce a mental overload**
**Angry again, angry again, angry ow**
And when the **story takes a twist**
If folds like a **contortionist**
**Slight of hand and quick exchange**
The **old tricks have been rearranged**
**Engaged in crime I grasp my throat**
**Enraged my mind starts to smoke**
**Enforce a mental overload**
**Angry again, angry again, angry**
The **searing of the sinew**
My **body fights for air**
The **ripping of the tissue**
My **lungs begin to tear**
**Gravity's got my bones**
It pulls my **flesh away**
The **steam finally dissipates**
I make out my **sweaty face**
**Association that I choose**
Game I **inevitably lose**
**Governed by laws set up by me**
**Fracture it's jaw to let me be**
A **cut-out cardboard condo maze**
Filled with an **insubordinate race**
**Irrational youths stop to stare**
As **music rubber hosed the air**
**Engaged in crime I grasp my throat**
**Enraged my mind starts to smoke**
**Enforce a mental overload**
**Angry again, angry again, angry again**
And again and again, again
**Engaged in crime I grasp my throat**
**Enraged my mind starts to smoke**
**Enforce a mental overload**
**Angry again, angry again, angry haow!**
