Glenn Hughes [Bass, Guitar, Vocal, Deep Purple]

The sky is red, I don't understand,
past midnight I still see the land.
People are sayin' the woman is damned,
she makes you burn with a wave of her hand.
The city's a blaze, the town's on fire.
The woman's flames are reaching higher.
We were fools, we called her liar.
All I hear is "Burn!"

I didn't believe she was devil's sperm.
She said, "Curse you all, you'll never learn!
When I leave there's no return."
The people laughed till she said, "Burn!"
Warning came, no one cared.
Earth was shakin', we stood and stared.
When it came no one was spared.
Still I hear "Burn!"

You know we had no time,
we could not even try.
You know we had no time.

You know we had no time,
we could not even try.
You know we had no time.

The sky is red, I don't understand,
past midnight I still see the land.
People are sayin' the woman is damned,
she makes you burn with a wave of her hand.
Warning came, no one cared.
Earth was shakin, we stood and stared.
When it came no one was spared.
Still I hear "Burn!"

I don't care if my lady's gone
As long as you give me just what I want.
I've been losin' my direction,
Got to find a new connection.

You have wasted the love I tasted,
Now I'm really gettin' hungry more and more.
Been a long time, had a bad sign.
Tell me what am I fighting for?

Let me know you feel it,
You know I really need it.
Keep on pushin' for more,
Lay down, stay down.
I got something to find,
There's one thing I really need.
I'm gonna tell you right now,
Lay down, stay down.

Lookin' for trouble, I guess that's right.
When I was young I was taught to fight.
It's been long gone since I had known,
Now I'm headin' for some more.

Let me know you feel it,
You know I really need it.
Keep on pushin' for more,
Lay down, stay down.
I got something to find,
There's one thing I really need.
I'm gonna tell you right now,
Lay down, stay down.

Let me know you feel it,
You know I really need it.
Keep on pushin' for more,
Lay down, stay down.
I got something to find,
There's one thing I really need.
I'm gonna tell you right now,
Lay down, stay down.

I got more than I asked for,
there ain't nothin' I need.
I took all till I had more,
I'm always takin' the lead.

Old man shakin' dice down on the street,
try'n to make a livin' somehow
but I'm really sure about gettin' things sorted out
and I'm gettin' ready right now.

You can't hold me,
I have told you.
Might just take your life,
might just take your life.

I've been called by many names
and all of them are bad.
I can take it all the same,
it's all I've ever had.

I've got somethin' that you can't get
but one thing you can see:
gettin' there ain't easy
but it sure was hard for me.

You can't hold me,
I have told you.
Might just take your life,
might just take your life.

Every time I take a look
there's someone close behind.
They never used to make a pass,
the things that crossed their minds.

Now they tell me that it's all right
and they want to be my friend.
They're ridin' on my back.
When is it goin' to end

You can't hold me,
I have told you.
Might just take your life,
might just take your life,
might just take your life.

Got more than I asked for,
got more than I need.
Got more than I asked for,
got more than I need.
Got more than I asked for,
got more than I need.

I've been mistreated, I've been abused.
I've been struck downhearted, baby, I've been confused
'cause I know, yes, I know I've been mistreated.
Since my baby left me I've been losing my mind, you know I have.

I've been lonely, I've been cold.
I've been looking for a woman to have and hold
'cause I know, yes, I know I've been mistreated.
Since my baby left me I've been losing, I've been losing,
I've been losing my mind, baby baby babe.

I've been mistreated, I've been abused.
I've been looking for a woman, yeh, I've been confused

Oh oh oh, oh woman, oh woman, oh woman.

If you're driftin' on an empty ocean
with no wind to fill your sail,
the future, your horizon,
it's like searchin' for
the Holy Grail.
You feel there's no tomorrow
as you look into the water below.
It's only your reflection
and you still ain't got
no place to go.
Time will show,
when, I don't know.
Sail away tomorrow,
sailin' far away.
To find it steal or borrow.
I'll be there someday
Oh, woman, I keep returnin
to sing the same old song.
The story's been told,
now I'm gettin' old.
Tell me,where do I belong?
Feel like I'm goin' to surrender,
nard times I've had enough.
If I could find a place
to hide my face,
I believe, I could get back up.
Time will show,
when, I don't know.
Sail away tomorrow,
sailin' far away.
To find it steal or borrow.
But I'll be there someday
Sail away tomorrow,
sailin' far away.
To find it steal or borrow.
But I'll be there someday
Sail away tomorrow,
sailin' far away.
To find it steal or borrow.
But I'll be there someday

Roll me over slowly, I've been drinkin' all night,
help me make a move, I can't stand the light.
Wake me, shake me, don't slam the door.
I ain't been so bad, I just can't recall.
Spent the night chasin' up a listed old flame,
lyin' on the floor I can't remember her name.
I can't stay here, there's something wrong here.
What's goin onhere?

Went downtown, had a long way to go.
How I got there, well, I don't know.
Found myself sittin' in a west side bar,
tried to leave but I could not go far.
High class woman try'nto give me a line,
should have left early when I felt so fine.
I can't stay here, there's something wrong here.
What's goin' on here?

When they closed up the bar, you know, they left me for dead.
I can't remember a thing I said.
Must have called the police to take me away.
They said, "Forty days", now I've got to pay.
Spent the night chasin' up a listed old flame,
lyin' on the floor I can't remember my name.
I can't get together while they're messin' with me,
keep on lookin'round, tell me where can I be.
I can't stay here, there's something wrong here.
What's goin' on here?

You fool no one, waiting to see if I'm gone.
So hard to see you are taking your chances with me.
If I find you with some other man
You know what I'm gonna do.
Better run if you see me comin', ah.

Soon you will fall, making mistakes like before.
When you tell me lies I can see by the look in your eyes.
If you think you're gonna take me for granted,
Chasin' round with all you see,
Gonna make you live to regret it, ah.

You fool no one, waiting to see if I'm gone.
So clear to see you've had all your chances with me.
You thought that you could take me for granted
But I couldn't take it no more.

Well I'm a rock and roll preacher
Not a Sunday school teacher
You ain't no shady lady
But I love the way you strut your stuff
You're a snow queen looking mean
Tryin' to make it on the scene
I guess you love it
'Cause I always see you hanging' around

You're a high ball shooter
You make it easy to see
High ball shooter
You sure ripped the low ones off me

A Magnet brought you to me
Told me your name was Jo
You said you liked my music
And you really did enjoy the show
Now I wanna play piano
But my fingers don't agree
They're busy on you woman
And I feel your fingers workin' on me

You're a high ball shooter
You make it easy to see
High ball shooter
You sure ripped the low ones off me

It's time to leave you honey
I know you're feeling sad
Don't you cry now baby
You know that only makes me mad
I see you everywhere I go
Every town and place
I can't recall your name
But I know I won't forget your sweet face

You're a high ball shooter
You make it easy to see
High ball shooter
You sure ripped the low ones off me
'Cause you're a high ball shooter
You make it easy to see
High ball shooter
You sure ripped the low ones off me

You're sweeter than the morning
When the sun is shining down on me
There is nothing you can say
That could make me go away you see
But you keep saying to me baby

Hold on - I feel I'm getting ready
Hold on - I feel I'm rockin' steady
Hold on - I'm gonna make it with you woman
Hold on - You got to gimme some love, gimme some love

I held back before
But your love took me easily
You got the power
I knew was gonna creep up on me
The more I give
Your love keeps comin' on strong
Although it's mine now
I know it won't be for long
There's something in the saying
That a woman needs a little more time
I'm getting tired of waiting for you
Giving me some kind of sign

Hold on - I've got to love you when I want to
Hold on - You've got to love me when I want you to
Hold on - I ain't gonna let you leave me baby
Hold on - No never no more

I know the game you're playing
And I guess you think I'm easily led
You think the words you're saying
Are really going through my head
I'm gonna take you home
And give you all I can
I'll prove to you, baby
That really I'm a man

Hold on - I know I'm feeling ready
Hold on - I know I'm rockin' steady
Hold on - Guess I've made it with you woman
Hold on - I've got you giving me love

Something that you give me
Keeps me hangin' on
No use me stayin'
There's nothing to be done
I'm gonna take you home
And give you all I can
I'll prove to you woman
That really I'm a man

Hold on - I only want to take you higher
Hold on - You are the root of my desire
Hold on - C'mon baby light my fire
Hold on

You're sweeter than the morning
When the sun is shining down on me
There is nothing you can say
That could make me go away you see

Called to Madonna
To give me a line
She said boy what have you done
Passing your time with a holy man
Talking about the moon and sun
But I can't tell the difference
Between the fool and wise
Show me a river to follow
Away from all these lies

I've been on my own so long
Won't you lend me your hand
I've been picking up my bones too long
Won't you understand

Called to the Captain
To put me ashore
For it looked like no man's land
Is this the way to follow
I cried as I shook his hand
He told me had no answer
He didn't really hold the key
I am a simple man
Was all he said to me

I've been on my own so long
Won't you lend me a hand
I've been out in the cold too long
Won't you understand
I've been on the road so long
Won't you lend me your hand
I've been out in the cold too long
Won't you understand

Heard my mother crying
She was calling out my name
Whisper in the dark night
Saying who's to blame
The hour glass keeps turning
With not enought sand to see
I am a holy man
So don't you bother me

I've been on my own so long
Won't you lend me your hand
I've been pickin' up my bones too long
Won't you understand
I've been on my own so long
Won't you lend me your hand
I've been out in the cold too long
Won't you understand?

Get outta my way
I'm gettin' tired of you
There ain't no chance
Doin' what you wanna do
I've been down, down, down, down, down
Got to get my feet back on the ground

Lady double dealer
Get outta my way
Lady double dealer
You got nothing to say

I ain't satisfied
Dealin' with second hand goods
You wanted somethin' for nothin'
Taking everything you could
You been 'round - I got the news
But you ain't waitin' 'round for me to lose

Lady double dealer
Get outta my way
Lady double dealer
You got nothing to say
I gave love to you
Did what you wanted me to
But all you did was bring me down
So I just had to try
Try to reason why
You took advantage of my love

Two timin' woman
Tryin' to take me for a ride
You're a hard lover honey
But you sure don't keep me satisfied
I wanna be there
To try to make you see
There ain't no woman gonna make a fool outta me

If I work hard every day
For my money
If I work my finger down to the bone
That ain't funny
Now if I see
Something I can't buy
I put a dollar down
Then I try try try
To get my money
I need my money
A woman who ain't got a dime
I can't use her no
If she ain't got no cash money
I've got to refuse her
I need a woman
With a whole lotta will
So she help me, baby
Help me pay my bill
I need my money
I've got to have money

I need lovin' to give me a livin'
So don't ask me I don't need forgivin'
I will stand up to count the cost
But I know I won't stand the loss

I need a woman
With a whole lotta will
She can help me pay my bill
I need my money
I want my money
Before I say my prayers
I count my money
When I wake up
It has to be there
My money
You see, love - it don't mean a thing
When she loves you
She can't bring, can't bring you no money
I've got to have my money

Lookin' for lovin'
I need a livin'

If I work hard every day
For my money
If I work my finger down to the bone
That ain't funny
Now if I see
Something I can't buy
I put a dollar down
Then I try try try
To get my money
I need my money
A woman who ain't got a dime
I can't use her no
If she ain't got no cash money

Help me pay my bill
I need my money
I've got to have money

I need lovin' to give me a livin'

You see, love--it don't mean a thing
When she loves you
She can't bring, can't bring you no money
I've got to have my money

Lookin' for lovin'
I need a livin'

I have often told you stories
About the way
I lived the life of a drifter
Waiting for the day
When I'd take your hand
And sing you songs
Then maybe you would say
Come lay with me and love me
And I would surely stay

But I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be...
A soldier of fortune

Many times I've been a traveller
I looked for something new
In days of old
When nights were cold
I wandered without you
But those days I thought my eyes
Had seen you standing near
Tho' blindness is confusing
It shows that you're not here

Now I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be...
A soldier of fortune
Yes, I can hear the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune

Comin' out of nowhere
Drivin' like rain
Stormbringer dance
On the thunder again
Dark cloud gathering
Breaking the day
No point running
'Cause it's coming your way

Ride the rainbow
Crack the sky
Stormbringer coming
Time to die
Got to keep running
Stormbringer coming
He's got nothing you need
He's gonna make you bleed

Rainbow shaker
On a stallion twister
Bareback rider
On the eye of the sky
Stormbringer coming down
Meaning to stay
Thunder and lightning
Heading your way

Ride the rainbow
Crack the sky
Stormbringer coming
Time to die
Got to keep running
Stormbringer coming
He's got nothing you need
He's gonna make you bleed

Coming out of nowhere
Drivin' like a-rain
Stormbringer dance
On the thunder again
Dark cloud gathering
Breaking the day
No point running

(repeating)
'Cause it's coming your way

Tell me, gypsy, can you see me
In your crystal ball
I'm asking you what can I do
My back's against the wall
And I can't hold on much longer
So I've come to you my friend
For now my life seems at an end

I came to see you once before
One hundred years ago
You took my hand and broke the spell
That should have let me go
But my years have gone so slowly
So I'm here again my friend
For now my life is at an end

Have you ever thought of the feeling
I get when I'm alone with you
It's causing me worry and trouble
I'm going 'round in circles
Don't know what I'm gonna do

You can't do it right
With the one you love
Nothing you can do
Without the one you love

You were always playing my records
When I was after making some love
But I need more than the music
To keep myself together
Although it makes me feel so good

You can't do it right
With the one you love
Nothing you can do
Without the one you love

Sometimes in the morning
I wake up without you
Can't get up, it's getting me down
Tell me what you're trying to do
Later in the evening
You come home feeling low
If you'd stop your cruising
Maybe we could make a show

You can't do it right
With the one you love
Nothing you can do
Without the one you love

Have you ever thought of the feeling
I get when I'm alone with you
It's causing me worry and trouble
I'm going 'round in circles
Don't know what I'm gonna do

You can't do it right
With the one you love
Nothing you can do
Without the one you love

You were always playing my records

My mama showed me how to rock in the cradle
But I learned how to roll along
My papa said "son, gotta git some fun,
Cos when your old it ain't too good on your own"
Been so long since you heard my song
Gonna pick up my guitar and play
Felt so bad when I had to leave you
But I knew that I'd be back some day

So I'm comin' home
To give you more than you bargained for
Comin' home
No mistake I'm gonna shiver 'n' shake
Comin' home
Gonna rock 'n' roll an' give you my soul
Comin' home
I got over the pain I'm comin' home again

Groovin to American Bandstand
B.B. onstage with 'Lucille'
The thrill is gone but it won't be for long
Cos you know I like to play how you feel
Now that we're back together
Gonna shiver 'n' shake all night
I just gotta say the music I play
Will sure enough make you feel alright

Though I learned how to rock in the cradle
An' rollin' came so easy to me
All the years I travelled the world
Made it so clear to see
It's been so long since you heard my song
Gonna pick up my guitar 'n' play
Felt so bad when I had to leave you
But I knew that I'd be back some day

Comin' home
To give you more than you baragained for
Comin' home
No mistake I'm gonna shiver and shake
Comin' home
Gonna rock 'n' roll and give you my soul
Comin' home
I got over the pain I'm comin' home again
Comin' home
Shiver 'n' shakin' anticpatin'
Comin' home
The thrill is gone but it won't be for long

If you fool around
With the dealer
Remember soon
You'll have to pay
He'll creep behind you
Like a hunter
Just to steal your soul away
I don't want no one
Messing with my woman
But just the same
I don't see nobody
Fooling with you
If you're snowblind
Madonna can hold you
But if you don't understand
There is nothing she can do for you

Running from the dealer
Trying to save your soul

I can feel the fire
Coming from inside you
I know what it's like
Cos I've been burned before
Ain't no mercy
In the hunger but
You're a fool to yourself
Cos your dealer keeps you begging for more

Running from the dealer
Trying to save your soul

In the beginning all you wanted
Was the calm before the storm
If the bluebird plays the eagle
He finds his song will turn to stone
Dealer

I was born a rambling man
An' I never got the chance
To settle down an' get a hold on love
Takin' air an' movin' around
Is all I can see that I'm doin'
An' it is bringin' me down
Drivin' on a highway going nowhere
Desolation destination
Guess I'll find it somewhere
I know if there's trouble
I ain't takin' the blame
That's why I keep movin'
So nobody knows my name

Born a loser
I'm beyond the law
Women behind me
Never can find me
They can never get together
What I've been here for
Cos I'm a drifter

Rollin' on
Ain't wastin' my time no more

When night time comes
And I'm ten thousand miles away
Just lose yourself
And watch the band kick back and play

Get up--keep in line
It's gettin' tighter all the time
You say you're feelin' fine
It's gettin' tighter all the time

Get a load off your mind
This place is right
It's hard to find
The mood is set alright
It's gonna be a long long night
You keep spinnin' 'round
You find it hard to touch the ground
And time is all it takes
You'll find it easy once you make

Get up--keep in line
It's gettin' tighter all the time
Gettin' tighter
Gettin' tighter

I keep singing the same old song
Like I did before
When you left me
You left me in darkness
I'd never known before
I was restless
A fool for your time
Waiting 'round for you to call
But now I've found me
An angel of mercy
I don't feel bad at all

Your body was honey
I tasted a lot
But let me tell you babe
I need more than you got
I want someone to hold me
An' keep me satisfied
I need love

I've got nothing to do
Ain't got nothing to say
Just live your life
The way you know
When you moved on
You took all the sweetness
Was I a fool to let you go
With the woman I forget for the moment
All the times we knew before
Though I'm still singing
The same old love song
I don't want you knocking on my door

She was a juke-box dancer
A blue eyed gypsy queen
She always had an answer
For what she'd done
And where she'd been
A feathercane Lady Midnight
For all around to see
She spoke with words of wisdom
And this is what she said to me

Lady luck
C'mon give me what I want
Pull me up
Lady luck
If I see you again
I will call you my friend

I have always been a sinner
But then the lady came along
She stole my heart and turned me 'round
'Till I didn't know right from wrong
She whispered words of kindness
I'd never ever heard before
Golden words and silver tongue
Till I really couldn't take no more

Lady luck
C'mon give me what I want
Pull me up
Lady luck
If I see you again
I will call you my friend
C'mon shake me

You can walk through fire
Make the north wind blow
Squeeze 'n' tease me honey
When you shake your body
You move my soul
Let me be your lover
Won't you let me be your child
Take me through your universe
Y'know that when you smile
You drive me wild

Love child
Driving me wild
Love child
Always teasin' me

You can ride your pony
Day dream in fairy tales
All I know is I need more
When I see you dance the seven veils

You keep on moving (Coverdale/Hughes)

You keep on moving
Far away far away
You keep on moving
Far away far away
Everyday wheels are turning
And the cry still returning

Dawn will soon be breaking
The day has just begun
You put your arms around me
Like a circle round the sun
Dance across the seasons
To a place that no one knows
Where angels fear to tread

The sky is red, I don't understand,
past midnight I still see the land.
People are sayin' the woman is damned,
she makes you burn with a wave of her hand.
The city's a blaze, the town's on fire.
The woman's flames are reaching higher.
We were fools, we called her liar.
All I hear is "Burn!"

I didn't believe she was devil's sperm.
She said, "Curse you all, you'll never learn!
When I leave there's no return."
The people laughed till she said, "Burn!"
Warning came, no one cared.
Earth was shakin', we stood and stared.
When it came no one was spared.
Still I hear "Burn!"

You know we had no time,
we could not even try.
You know we had no time.

You know we had no time,
we could not even try.
You know we had no time.

The sky is red, I don't understand,
past midnight I still see the land.
People are sayin' the woman is damned,
she makes you burn with a wave of her hand.
Warning came, no one cared.
Earth was shakin, we stood and stared.
When it came no one was spared.
Still I hear "Burn!"

Get outta my way
I'm gettin' tired of you
There ain't no chance
Doin' what you wanna do
I've been down, down, down, down, down
Got to get my feet back on the ground

Lady double dealer
Get outta my way
Lady double dealer
You got nothing to say

I ain't satisfied
Dealin' with second hand goods
You wanted somethin' for nothin'
Taking everything you could
You been 'round - I got the news
But you ain't waitin' 'round for me to lose

Lady double dealer
Get outta my way
Lady double dealer
You got nothing to say
I gave love to you
Did what you wanted me to
But all you did was bring me down
So I just had to try
Try to reason why
You took advantage of my love

Two timin' woman
Tryin' to take me for a ride
You're a hard lover honey
But you sure don't keep me satisfied
I wanna be there
To try to make you see
There ain't no woman gonna make a fool outta me

Comin' out of nowhere
Drivin' like rain
Stormbringer dance
On the thunder again
Dark cloud gathering
Breaking the day
No point running
'Cause it's coming your way

Ride the rainbow
Crack the sky
Stormbringer coming
Time to die
Got to keep running
Stormbringer coming
He's got nothing you need
He's gonna make you bleed

Rainbow shaker
On a stallion twister
Bareback rider
On the eye of the sky
Stormbringer coming down
Meaning to stay
Thunder and lightning
Heading your way

Ride the rainbow
Crack the sky
Stormbringer coming
Time to die
Got to keep running
Stormbringer coming
He's got nothing you need
He's gonna make you bleed

Coming out of nowhere
Drivin' like a-rain
Stormbringer dance
On the thunder again
Dark cloud gathering
Breaking the day
No point running
'Cause it's coming your way

You fool no one, waiting to see if I'm gone.
So hard to see you are taking your chances with me.
If I find you with some other man
You know what I'm gonna do.
Better run if you see me comin', ah.

Soon you will fall, making mistakes like before.
When you tell me lies I can see by the look in your eyes.
If you think you're gonna take me for granted,
Chasin' round with all you see,
Gonna make you live to regret it, ah.

You fool no one, waiting to see if I'm gone.
So clear to see you've had all your chances with me.
You thought that you could take me for granted
But I couldn't take it no more.
Better run when you see me comin', ah

Look what you've done
You think that you're the only one
The day's already gone, it's gone
I've found the strength to carry
Carry on, ooh baby I'm going to carry on

You say you love me
But you're the only one you see
That ain't the way, that ain't the way that it should be
Is this, is this my destiny
Oh is this my destiny I know this is my destiny

I'm not the guy that you see
The road is clear in front of me
It's plain to see
This is my destiny
Plain to see, clear in front of me

You've been havin' fun
It's all been said and done
Your time will come, you'll be the lonely one
Oh the lonely one, oh baby, oh baby

You know I wanted you
Do you know what I've been through
What do you want from me?
What do you expect me to be?

I'm not the guy that you see
The road is clear in front of me
It's plain to see
This is my destiny
Plain to see, clear in front of me

So very hard, hard
Sail on, you've got to believe
In what you believe in
Oh it's all waitin' for you babe

I wonder where I go?
I know only my heart must show
Hands in the dark reachin' out
Tryin' to find you, you know what I'm about
Don't refuse me, hear me out, there's no doubt

I found a woman
I found a woman

I don't want nothin', only your lovin'
I found a woman, to play me out

Hands in the dark, reachin' out
Tryin' to find you, you know what I'm about
Don't refuse me hear me out, don't confuse me
There's no doubt

I found a woman

Thirty two saucers, over the land
Should we catch them? Or should we let them land

Will they be friendly?
Will they be foe?
Who's gonna help us?
God only knows, god only knows

You gotta understand me
That I'm a natural guy
The places you've been goin'
Are space high, oh space high

Thirty two saucers, over this land
Should we catch them?
Or should we let them land

Will they be friendly?
Will they be foe?
Who will help us?
God only knows, god only knows

You gotta understand me
That I'm on a natural high
The places I've been goin'
Are space high, oh space high

Your love is like a fire
It thrills me with desire
Your love is like a fire

Your love is like a fire
Your flame keeps gettin' higher
Your love is like a fire

You pulled me through from cryin'
You knew that I was tryin'
You knew that I was tryin'

You moved me from the city
On Sunset it ain't pretty
Your love has got to be like a fire

What do you do, when your down and out?
How can you choose when you know your gonna lose?
You gotta help me, you gotta help me
You gotta help me

You be my friend never can end
You be my friend never can end

What do you do, when your down and out?
How can you choose when you know your gonna lose?
You gotta help me, you gotta help me
You gotta help me

Your love is like a fire
It thrills me with desire
Your love is like a fire

Your love is like a fire
It thrills me with desire
Your love is like a fire

I still remember how it used to be
I thought the only thing that mattered was me
You always told me it was just insane
To feel such joy while others feel pain
There's no way to change this angry heart
Cause when love goes it will tear you apart

And it's been this way since time began
It's a desperate search for a promised land
And the years slip by like so much sand

So many people who are dying to live
It tortures my heart they've got so much to give
I never saw it as a battle before
To win the fight there has to be more
And there's no way to change this angry heart
Cause all these fears will tear you apart

And it's been this way since time began
It's an endless journey, it's the fate of man
To live each day and never understand

And it's been this way since time began
It's a desperate search for a master plan
And the years slip by like water through your hands

Midnight, something don't feel right
It's been too much, too far away from home
Hard life, living the hard life
I can't resist, I'm falling
To the danger zone

All day long I'm pushed and shoved
I just can't get enough
In the danger zone

Red light, don't stop for no red light
You know I'm always trouble on my own
Lonely, ever so lonely
I've got too much time
I'm heading for the danger zone

All day long I'm pushed and shoved
I just can't get enough
In the danger zone

I'm eager, eager to please
I can't stand no more
It's got me on my knees

Ain't gonna feel no hurt
Ain't gonna feel no pain
I got nothin' left to lose
I ain't got no shame
Don't try to stop me
Just leave me on my own
I'm gonna live or die
In the danger zone

I'm living in the danger zone
In the danger zone

Hard life, I'm living the hard life
I'm gonna take a chance
In the danger zone

Lonely, ever so lonely
I'm gonna live or die
In the danger zone

Midnight, can't wait until midnight
Help me I'm falling to the danger zone

In the days of confusion
You've turned angry and cold
You say it's an ilusion
There's no fire in your soul

Say you don't love me
Say you don't care
But don't leave me standing here

Your heart's like a wheel
Just waiting to roll
It's longing for freedom
To get out on the road

You're hungry for something
That you may never find
So many reasons
Your love has made you blind

You say you don't love me
You say you don't care
So don't leave me standing here
Don't leave me standing here

You say you don't love me
You say you don't care
Don't leave me
Don't leave me standing here

Life ain't been easy
Full of passion and pain
Told me no reason
Why I was to blame

Don't leave me standing
Don't leave me standing
Don't leave me standing
On my own

Thunder shattered the dawn
Raging with fury, the king has come
The power of terror will reign
There is no mercy in pleading

In for the kill, no quarter be shown
Live for the thrill of battle alone
Blessed by the will to die for the throne
In for the kill
In for the kill

Freedom is taken by storm
The blood on his hands is still running warm
The power of terror will reign
There is no mercy in pleading

In for the kill, no quarter be shown
Live for the thrill of battle alone
Blessed by the will to die for the throne
In for the kill
For the kill

Thunder shattered the dawn
Raging with fury, the king has come
Death and destruction riding the storm
Blood on his hands still running warm

In for the kill
The king has come

No one told me the way I should feel
You left an aching heart
Lost and lonely, the feeling goes on
You were the one friend I had
You gave me so much love
Now the tears remind me you're gone

It still haunts me there's a silence
Where you used to be
It still haunts me
Just an empty space in history
It still haunts me
But life must go on, on and on

It's still haunting me
It's still haunting me
Haunting me
Haunting me

Cold is the night
Lonely till dawn
Cry for the light
For the love that won't come
You said that you'd never
Leave me alone

I gave you my heart
You cried for my soul
An angel won't come
This devil won't go
Something is wrong
I just can't get away

Living on the street, I'm no stranger to love
Why can't you see I'm no stranger to love
But I'm a stranger in your arms
Yes, I'm a stranger in your arms

Maybe it's right
But I just can't understand
The hurt that I feel
For my love second hand
I know I should leave
But I just can't walk away

Living on the street, I'm no stranger to love
Why can't you see I'm no stranger to love
Living on the street, I'm no stranger to love
I'm a stranger in your arms
Living on the street, I'm no stranger to love
Why can't you see I'm no stranger to love

There's a vision in the sands
Rising from the ancient past
Crying let my spirit go
Lead my burning soul to rest

Hear the sound of distant ages
It's the call of the seventh star

There's no shelter from the heat
There's no mercy from this land
Hear a thousand chanting souls
Waiting judgement from God's hand

Hear the sound of distant ages
It's the call of the seventh star
Hear the sound of fallen angels
It's the call of the seventh star

The pyramids will fall
Turn to dust before the sun
And the star will rise again
Until destiny is done

Hear the sound of distant ages
It's the call of the seventh star
Hear the sound of fallen angels
It's the call of the seventh star

She came from the past
She was never meant to last
Her destiny was fatal
From the start

A messenger from hell
She cast a deadly spell
On all of those who dare
To cross her heart

Ain't no use in you trying to run
Fate has taken it's toll
Just one look and the damage is done
Burn your eyes
Turn your heart into stone

History foretold of a circle
Cast in gold
An evil seed of power
Sealed within

But fate has lent a hand
Destroyed the golden band
And freed her soul
To wash the land with sin

Ain't no use in you trying to run
Fate has taken it's toll
Just one look and the damage is done
Burn your eyes
Turn your heart into stone

She cast a deadly spell
She put a spell on you
She's got evil in her heart
Turn your heart into stone
Turn your heart into stone

The sky is red, I don't understand,
past midnight I still see the land.
People are sayin' the woman is damned,

Get outta my way

Got to get my feet back on the ground

You're a hard lover honey
But you sure don't keep me satisfied
I wanna be there
To try to make you see
There ain't no woman gonna make a fool outta me

I've been mistreated, I've been abused.
I've been struck downhearted, baby, I've been confused
'cause I know, yes, I know I've been mistreated.
Since my baby left me I've been losing my mind, you know I have.

I've been lonely, I've been cold.
I've been looking for a woman to have and hold
'cause I know, yes, I know I've been mistreated.
Since my baby left me I've been losing, I've been losing,
I've been losing my mind, baby baby babe.

I've been mistreated, I've been abused.
I've been looking for a woman, yeh, I've been confused
'cause I know, yes, I know I've been mistreated, ooh o-o-oh.
Since my baby left me I've been losing, losing,
I've been losing my mind, baby baby babe.
Oh oh oh, oh woman, oh woman, oh woman.

I've been losing my mind.

I've been mistreated, I've been abused.
I've been struck downhearted, baby, I've been confused

Oh oh oh, oh woman, oh woman, oh woman.

I've been losing my mind.

We all came out to Montreux
on the Lake Geneva shoreline
to make records with a mobile
We didn't have much time

Frank Zappa and the Mothers
were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun
burned the place to the ground

Smoke on the water
And fire in the sky
Smoke on the water

They burned down the gambling house
It died with an awful sound
Funky Claude was running in and out
pulling kids out the ground

When it all was over
We had to find another place
But Swiss time was running out
It seemed that we would lose the race

Smoke on the water
And fire in the sky
Smoke on the water

간주

We ended up at the Grand Hotel
It was empty cold and bare
But with the Rolling truck Stones thing
just outside making our music there

With a few red lights, a few old beds
We made a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this
I know, I know we'll never forget

Smoke on the water
And fire in the sky
Smoke on the water

Well we had a lot of luck on Venus
We always have a ball on Mars
We're meeting all the groovy people
We've rocked the Milky way so far
We danced around the Borealice
We're space trucking round the stars

2 times :
Come on, come on, come on,
Let's go space trucking

Remember when you did the woonshot
And Ponny Treeper lid the way
We'd move to the Canaveral moonstop
And every night would dance and sway
We got music in our solar system
We're space trucking round the stars

2 times :
Come on, come on, come on,
Let's go space trucking

The fireball that we rooled was moving
And now we got the new machine
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, the treaks said,
Man those cats can really sing"
They got music in their solar systems
They're rocked around the Milky way
They danced around the Borealice
They're space trucking every day

Many times :
Come on, come on, come on,
Let's go space trucking

Comin' out of nowhere
Drivin' like rain
Stormbringer dance
On the thunder again
Dark cloud gathering
Breaking the day
No point running
'Cause it's coming your way

Ride the rainbow
Crack the sky
Stormbringer coming
Time to die
Got to keep running
Stormbringer coming
He's got nothing you need
He's gonna make you bleed

Rainbow shaker
On a stallion twister
Bareback rider
On the eye of the sky
Stormbringer coming down
Meaning to stay
Thunder and lightning
Heading your way

Ride the rainbow
Crack the sky
Stormbringer coming
Time to die
Got to keep running
Stormbringer coming
He's got nothing you need
He's gonna make you bleed

Coming out of nowhere
Drivin' like a-rain
Stormbringer dance
On the thunder again
Dark cloud gathering
Breaking the day
No point running
'Cause it's coming your way

You fool no one, waiting to see if I'm gone.
So hard to see you are taking your chances with me.
If I find you with some other man
You know what I'm gonna do.
Better run if you see me comin', ah.

Soon you will fall, making mistakes like before.
When you tell me lies I can see by the look in your eyes.
If you think you're gonna take me for granted,
Chasin' round with all you see,
Gonna make you live to regret it, ah.

You fool no one, waiting to see if I'm gone.
So clear to see you've had all your chances with me.
You thought that you could take me for granted
But I couldn't take it no more.
Better run when you see me comin', ah

You fool no one, waiting to see if I'm gone.
So hard to see you are taking your chances with me.
If I find you with some other man
You know what I'm gonna do.
Better run if you see me comin', ah.

Soon you will fall, making mistakes like before.
When you tell me lies I can see by the look in your eyes.
If you think you're gonna take me for granted,
Chasin' round with all you see,
Gonna make you live to regret it, ah.

You fool no one, waiting to see if I'm gone.
So clear to see you've had all your chances with me.
You thought that you could take me for granted
But I couldn't take it no more.
Better run when you see me comin', ah

The sky is red, I don't understand,
past midnight I still see the land.
People are sayin' the woman is damned,
she makes you burn with a wave of her hand.
The city's a blaze, the town's on fire.
The woman's flames are reaching higher.
We were fools, we called her liar.
All I hear is "Burn!"

I didn't believe she was devil's sperm.
She said, "Curse you all, you'll never learn!
When I leave there's no return."
The people laughed till she said, "Burn!"
Warning came, no one cared.
Earth was shakin', we stood and stared.
When it came no one was spared.
Still I hear "Burn!"

You know we had no time,
we could not even try.
You know we had no time.

You know we had no time,
we could not even try.
You know we had no time.

The sky is red, I don't understand,
past midnight I still see the land.
People are sayin' the woman is damned,
she makes you burn with a wave of her hand.
Warning came, no one cared.
Earth was shakin, we stood and stared.
When it came no one was spared.
Still I hear "Burn!"

We had a lot of luck on Venus
We always had a ball on Mars
Meeting all the groovey people
We've rocked the Milky Way so far
We danced around with Borealice
We're space truckin' round the the stars
Come on let's go Space Truckin'

Remember when we did the moonshot
And Pony Trekker led the way
We'd move to the Canaveral moonstop
And everynaut would dance and sway
We got music in our solar system
We're space truckin' round the stars
Come on let's go Space Truckin'

The fireball that we rode was moving
But now we've got a new machine
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah the freaks said
Man those cats can really swing
They got music in their solar system
They've rocked around the Milky Way
They dance around the Borealice
They're Space Truckin' everyday
Come on

Let me breathe, my tired body
Let me sleep inside my bed
Don't let me fall into the darkness
While you weave your tangled web
Don't leave me slain beside the gutter
Show me my flesh, then lock me in,
Then wash me down in holy water
Then close my eyes, until I'm gone

Throw my soul into the fire
Let my body burn in sin
It's so cold and I'm no liar
And it's all the same, all the same
It's just addiction



You can't deny the pain you're under
You know the wheel refuse to turn
Can't break that spell and you have 2 wonder
Can't walk away, you never learn
Don't live that lie, 'cos you can take it
You must have been some kind of man
I feel the rage of your condition
'cos you will find euphoria

Can you taste your last temptation?
Your state of mind is filled with shame
If you fail to shake your demon
Tormented life, no one to blame

She wears a blood red rose
Her face she never shows
Thru the doorway, to the window
In the light
A vision in a dream
And I don't know what it means
Is it my imagination or is it you?

Blue jade comes to my room
She won't go
Gold shade covers the moon
And I don't know, about blue jade

Is it fate or destiny?
Only she does hold the key


Fallen angel, I am driven to your side
From the moment you are here
I'm a man without a fear
You're the reason, my religion, you're my guide

And when she comes to me
Lord I never wanna be
Broken hearted, disillusioned by her smile
And I know it just can't be
When I hear your symphony
Am I sleeping, is this really in my mind?
I can feel and I can see
Everytime she comes to me
I just can't believe that you're my life

Somewhere between the lines unbroken
There lies the sacred part of me
Behind the door that once was opened
Is where I fell from grace you see

Inside I feel the pressure
My faith I cannot measure
Seems like the wound has deepened
I wake but I'm not breathing
And I say

Cover me, while I'm sleeping, won't you cover me
Cover me, if I'm bleeding, won't you cover me


Cover me, be my shadow, won't you cover me
Cover me, I will follow, won't you cover me

So won't you take this captured spirit
Now won't you hear my final plea
You got to cut the wire
Release your sympathy
Unspoken words that heal
This dream just can't be real
And I say

Somewhere between the lines unbroken
There lies the sacred part of me

Burn your sign into my skin
Nail the box and throw me in
Take the coins from my eyes
Plow me under like my friends

Lock the cell and kill the sun
Let me cook until I'm done
Drown my soul in love and rage
Until I kiss the loaded gun
"this is the death of me I know"

Shoot the horse from under me
Blind my eyes till I believe
You've broken both my loving arms


Pull the rope and set me free

"this is the death of me I know"
"this is the death of me I know"

Slam the spike into my vein
Sentence me and forge the chain
Numb my conscience
Steal my dreams
Stretch me on your open flame

"this is the death of me I know"
"this is the death of me I know"

Well I'm feelin' like you took me in
And wrapped your cursed magic over me
If you vow to never cross my path
I'll give you back the shame
So you could see - I'd rather be dead

Deep down inside your dream
The evil that you make
You put my life on trial
It's a chance I have to take
Too late the rhapsody
That plays inside my head
It's dark before the dawn
My eyes are burnin' red

I've been down is where you left me
I've been down, I do not belong


I've been down, won't somebody help me?
I've been down, I did you no wrong

In your world that's hid by tinted glass
You lie behind the fragments of yourself
In an empty room, you hide behind the
Smile that pulls me back again, time again

The pistol's in my hand
I have to let you know
I put you in the ground
Now I have to let you go
The serpent that I ride
Has put a grip on me
My pain is glorified
Why can't you let it be?

Down by the beggar's wall
There is another land
This is the place. I come to set me free
Just like a fighting man lost in a river
I didn't notice I was blind but now I see
They took a photograph
They heard my story
And then the jury tried and sentenced me
And now I'm sanctified, without resistance
I left my body. and I'm gonna let it be
Now I'm standin' on the platform
At the station
I hear the engine of the train
That takes me there
I ain't lookin' back,


Until I reach my destination
Nobody gonna bring me down
I'm a justified man
Inside the hour glass,
The sand keeps turnin'
Outside my window, falls the rain
That washes me
Gone is my fear, need no assistance
And now I'm justified,
Those days are gone you see
I've been livin' in war of speculation
I stand accused but I ain't goin' anywhere
I ain't lookin' back
Until I reach my destination

In the coldness of love's sweet illusion
There's a sadness that stands in my way
There's a note that I left in the hallway
Tellin' you that I could never stay
You never wanted me I'm outta time
Now I've got nothin' to say

I don't want to talk about it
I don't even hear a word you say


I don't want to talk about it
I just turn my back and walk away

I'm the kind that lives with emotion
Now do I have to live on my own?
I would cross every mountain and ocean
Tell me why has your heart turned to stone
You never wanted me, I'm outta time
Now I've got nothin' to say

There's no use hidin'
I'm comin' after you
You know I have decided
Now what you gonna do?

I hear the police knocking and
I know just why they came
I see the full moon risin'
Now I guess you know my name

Stand in line with a hundred dollar bill
Like a runaway train 'till I've had my fill

Are you ready for the big time
Big time comin' up

Now the sun is shinin' but
I'm standin' on shaky ground
We'll be slippin' and slidin' and
you know where we can be found

Spend the day in bed drinkin' your champagne
I've got you in my head
Now ain't that a doggone shame

See you on the MTV
Now you paid the price
Are you talkin' to me?

Are you ready for the big time
I've got my mind made up
Are you ready for the big time
Big time comin' up

I can hear the backbeat grindin' down your spine
I can feel your body heat now, baby
It's your time

You know the way you move
You keep me up all night
You got something to prove
I see your name in lights

Stand in line with a hundred dollar bill
Like a runaway train 'till I've had my fill

Are you ready for the big time
Big time comin' up

Are you ready for the big time
I've got my mind made up
Are you ready for the big time
Big time comin' up

Do you know how I feel?
Can you feel it?
I'm talkin' to you...
I'm feelin' down, some kind of lovin'
Cause my baby done left me here

Heart is blazin' like a five alarm fire
And I don't even give a care
I feel like the world has turned on me
My dreams turned to ashes right in front of my face
I'm gettin' kind fo worried
And I feel so all upset, M-hmmmm...

Maybe your baby done made some other plans
Maybe your baby done made some other plans
I feel like cryin'

In the mornin' when I got a heartache
I can't call up the doctor for help
Cause the only person that could ever do me any good
Is sleepin' out with my best friend
I feel like I'm slippin' deeper
Slippin' deeper into my shell
And I just can't take it
This stuff is scarin' me to death

Maybe your baby done made some other plans
Maybe your baby done made some other plans
I feel like cryin'

My baby's OUT OF WORK
Sittin' in THE circle
Checkin' out the guys that are passin' by...
by...by...by...by...by...by

Maybe your baby done made some other plans
Maybe your baby done made some other plans...
No other man can love you like I can

Maybe your baby done made some other plans
Maybe your baby done made some other plans

Can you feel it?
I got plans for you baby
Oh Yeah, Oh Yeah, Yeah
I just can't take it any more

You know I don't want any trouble
Now I ask myself
Do you want me baby?
Do you want me baby?

Make you wanna do it
Well, I could be wrong and I would be right
But my mind's made up - now I see the light
I have walked the streets 'til the break of day
Won't you come to me, won't you look my way
Sing - ah ya ya ya ya

Now the way you talk, put me in a trance
Got me all fired up, make me jump the fence
I have seen the future, I have seen the past
Gotta keep on movin', I was built to last

I will be your brother, father, mother too!
I will be the one, I'm gonna put a spell on you

Make you wanna push
Don't you wanna do it
Make you wanna push
Don't you wanna do it
Sing - ah ya ya ya ya

Since I've been away, now you'll surely find
I'm gonna make you love me in a seconds time
I will pick you up, I will turn you around


Baby, here I come, I'm gonna shake the ground

I have been a sinner, so take me by the hand
I will be elected in a distant land
I will be your brother, father, mother too!
I will be the one, I'm gonna put a spell on you

Make you wanna push
Don't you wanna do it
Make you wanna push
Don't you wanna do it
Sing - ah ya ya ya ya

I have been a sinner, so take me by the hand
I will be elected in a distant land
I will be your brother, father, mother too!
I will be the one, I'm gonna put a spell on you

Make you wanna push
Don't you wanna do it
Make you wanna push
Don't you wanna do it
Sing - ah ya ya ya ya

I've been looking for a new direction
No doubt about it I'm gonna lose my mind
If you call, I'll deliver on my faith you'll rely
Won't you please

In the morning I will tell you something
In the evening I will justify
Now the way that I feel is a four letter word
I'm on my knees
I can hear you comin'

On the redline
Gonna take you all the way
On the redline
You got me workin' all day

I've been told about the fourth dimension
Now am I dreamin' did you take me there
I can't hold back the river
Can I feel you inside?
Please believe
I can feel you comin'

On the redline
Gonna take you all the way
On the redline
You got me workin' all day

And I will be your cover
And I will be your guide
I'll be your lover
I'll keep you satisfied
You'll be my salvation
With you I see the way
We'll reach our destination
I'm waiting for the day

If you're looking for a new direction
No doubt about it you will love your mind
If you call, I'll deliver on my faith you'll rely
I'm on my knees
I can feel you comin'

On the redline
Gonna take you all the way
On the redline
You got me workin' all day

I don't know where I'm goin'
But I know where I've been
They say love conquers all
So please let me in

You say that you want me
Til' the end of time

I know I've been wrong
Let me be right
I'll be waiting
Now I'm on my way
Save me tonight
I'll be waiting

Just a little bit of faith
And a whole lot of trust
In a world filled with peace that belongs to us

And you know I would die for you
And you know it's the truth


So why don't you give yourself to me

I know I've been wrong
Let me be right
I'll be waiting
Now I'm on my way
Save me tonight
I'll be waiting

And it really doesn't matter
And I know you'll see
But with your hope and your faith and destiny
Save me

I know I've been wrong
Let me be right
I'll be waiting
Now I'm on my way
Save me tonight
I'll be waiting

Some girls are satisfied with ordinary wishes
They don't need a temple in Brazil
Some find communion with the politics of money
You found a girl who lives there still

Tell me...how love will never compromise
The pain we hold, with so many lies
Is it over now, with the setting sun
Was it all in vain, now you've come undone

She just loves your money
And you know she's got you running
In the land of milk and honey
No one sees her coming
Steal you blind and take your soul away
She just loves your money

Some days are innocent, some painted with persuasion
Sometimes you live in misery
Can you read the face you see, the one behind the mirror
A cold reflection of you and me
Tell me...how she could never leave your side
This faithful heart, so unsanctified
With eyes half closed, we refuse to see
With this jealous mind, never really free

She just loves your money
And you know she's got you running
In the land of milk and honey
No one sees her coming
Steal you blind and take your soul away
She just loves your money

You know how lovers come and go
You cry through too many memories
One day in a life, one day at a time
She'll break your heart in your state of mind

She just loves your money
And you know she's got you running
In the land of milk and honey
No one sees her coming
Steal you blind and take your soul away
She just loves your money

Let me breathe, my tired body
Let me sleep inside my bed
Don't let me fall into the darkness
While you weave your tangled web
Don't leave me slain beside the gutter
Show me my flesh, then lock me in,
Then wash me down in holy water
Then close my eyes, until I'm gone

Throw my soul into the fire
Let my body burn in sin
It's so cold and I'm no liar
And it's all the same, all the same
It's just addiction



You can't deny the pain you're under
You know the wheel refuse to turn
Can't break that spell and you have 2 wonder
Can't walk away, you never learn
Don't live that lie, 'cos you can take it

'cos you will find euphoria

Can you taste your last temptation?
Your state of mind is filled with shame
If you fail to shake your demon
Tormented life, no one to blame

The sky is red, I don't understand
Past midnight I still see the land
People are sayin' the woman is damned
She makes you burn with a wave of her hand

The city's ablaze, the town's on fire
The woman's flames are reachin' higher
We were fools - we called her a liar
All I hear is - Burn

They didn't believe she was devil's sperm
She said "Curse you all never learn when I leave, there's no return"
The people laughed 'till she said - "Burn"

Warning came - no one cared
Earth was shakin' - we stood and stared
When it came, no one was spared
Still I hear - Burn

You know we had no time
We could not even try
You know we had no time

You know we had no time
We could not even try
You know we had no time

The sky is red, I don't understand
Past midnight - I still see the land
People are sayin' the woman is damned
She makes you burn with a wave of her hand

Warning came, no one cared
Earth was shakin' we stood and stared
When it came no one was spared
Still I hear - Burn
