I've been casing your joint
For the best years of my life
Like the look of your stuff
Outta sight
When I'm hungry and when I'm cold
When I'm having it rough
Or just getting old
Listen up sweet child of mine
Have I got news for you
Nobody leaves this place alive
They'll die and join the queue
Better man the barricades
I'm coming in tonight
Had a line of my dust
Outta sight
When I wonder and when I roam
I'll find a soul I can trust
I'm coming home
Listen up sweet child of mine
Have I got news for you
Nobody leaves this place alive
They'll die and join the queue, sing it
I'm gonna break right into heaven
I can't wait anymore
Heaven's gates won't hold me
I'll saw those suckers down
Laughing loud at your locks
When they hit the ground
Every icon in every town
Hear this, your number's up
I'm coming 'round
Listen up sweet child of mine
Have I got news for you
Nobody leaves this place alive
They'll die and join the queue, sing it
I'm gonna break right into heaven
I can't wait anymore
How many times will I have to tell you
You don't have to wait to die
You can have it all, any time you want it
Yeah, the kingdom's all inside
For the best years of my life
Like the look of your stuff
Outta sight
When I'm hungry and when I'm cold
When I'm having it rough
Or just getting old
Listen up sweet child of mine
Have I got news for you
Nobody leaves this place alive
They'll die and join the queue
Better man the barricades
I'm coming in tonight
Had a line of my dust
Outta sight
When I wonder and when I roam
I'll find a soul I can trust
I'm coming home
Listen up sweet child of mine
Have I got news for you
Nobody leaves this place alive
They'll die and join the queue, sing it
I'm gonna break right into heaven
I can't wait anymore
Heaven's gates won't hold me
I'll saw those suckers down
Laughing loud at your locks
When they hit the ground
Every icon in every town
Hear this, your number's up
I'm coming 'round
Listen up sweet child of mine
Have I got news for you
Nobody leaves this place alive
They'll die and join the queue, sing it
I'm gonna break right into heaven
I can't wait anymore
How many times will I have to tell you
You don't have to wait to die
You can have it all, any time you want it
Yeah, the kingdom's all inside

I think it's about desiring someone to the point where you would do anything to be with them and anything with them when you get the chance. He wants this person and doesn't care if it's right or wrong he's just going in and to hell with the consequences. The lyrics may go deeper than that but that's what I get off the surface. Of course these are densely layered lyrics so sorry if I am not looking deeper here.
