Be a crime if I offended you With my estranged religion I've been chain smoken cigarettes Since I felt my first ignition Don't want you to believe me Just want you to release me
I'm the son of a preacher Ain't no angels in my head You're preachin' snow-white But the stain on your switchblade's red
So don't expect no roses I never had much class Don't want Mona Lisa All I want is your trash
In my veins Make it last For days Want your beast Need your rage Feel you burnin' up, sister In my veins
Devil diggin' deeper I'm still hangin' by a thread Don't be talkin' about love Don't you know that superstition's dead
And I ain't nobody' savior So don't expect no flash Don't want Mona Lisa All I want is your trash
(Repeat Chorus)
A graphic disposition Makes such a sexy girl You can turn the Kiss of Death Into Mother of Pearl
Need your trash In my veins Make it last For days Want your beast In my cage Feel your burnin' up, sister In my veins
No sun would rise In my silent heaven Without your love Lord knows I've tried But I keep looking into your empty eyes Don't take for granted I'll be lyin' here when the morning comes If there's still a chance, Tell me now But don't think I'll be waitin' around While you treat my love Like it's all a dime a dozen You don't feel the pain Baby you're the lucky one Every day and night I keep wondering Should I just tear out these pages Can't you see it girl You're the lucky one Who have you been lyin' to Is it me baby Or is it you How long would you trust Before your Lady Luck Gives you up Any truth to your promises Washed away before the war began If there's still a chance Tell me now (Repeat Chorus) Maybe it's true nothing lasts forever So they say So sad Baby without your love No sun would rise again But girl these open arms are gettin' tired And pretty soon I'm gonna walk away No you don't feel the pain Baby you're the lucky one And don't think I'll be waitin' around While you treat my love Like it's all a dime a dozen Can't you see it girl You're the lucky one You're the lucky one And every day and night I keep wonderin' Should I just tear out these pages Can't you see it girl It's you yeah You're the lucky one
Times are changin' We'd best beware The world is in the electric chair The state holds out its loving cup Singing power to the people But their power's corrupt
Burning crosses and secretly Carry swastikas and M 16s Nevermind the pages of history It just keeps repeating, keeps repeating
It's always the same Seems like nothing will ever change We pay to wear the blindfold Baby look out
'Cos they're movin' In for the kill In for the kill Yankee Doodle leadin' lambs to slaughter Just for the thrill
Good things come to those who wait good advice just a bit too late Any chance for trust went up in smoke When a preacher's lust was sponsored by coke
Day after day It's always the same We pay to wear the blindfold Baby look out
'Cos they're movin' In for the kill In for the kill Disbelievers drink poison water Time stands still
Don't fill my eyes, fill my head Till I'm overloaded You talk and you talk and you talk But I don't hear anything
Times are changin' There ain't no cure It's a wasteland One thing's for sure Ain't no gold to grind the axe So keep your fingers crossed While you're crossin' the tracks
'Cos good blind faith ain't good enough Baby's heat crumbled to dust Hooray for the Outlaw Keeps movin'
In for the kill In for the kill Yankee Doodle leadin' lambs to slaughter Just for the thrill
Don't fill my eyes, fill my head Till I'm overloaded You talk and you talk You know I don't hear it anymore
But you keep on movin' In for the kill In for the kill Yankee Doodle leadin' lambs to slaughter Just for the thrill My word's no good, it's not enough
Straight out of Abilene He's bustin' at the seams Immune to whisky Man it's down to a shot of gasoline
This ain't no Romeo This here's a one man show Livin' on a dare Thinkin' he'll become a legend
One more fever diggin' for fools gold Fast lane freeway to the glory hole
'Cos he's Livin' it up In No Man's Land Tonight's the night Gonna get to heaven
Livin' it up In No Man's Land Too fast to live Too young to die
He named his limousine The Mississippi Queen Better never look inside 'Cos things get a little bit messy
No This party never ends Plenty of so-called friends Prayin' to heroes They will never see again
Where will you wind up I'll never know While on the fast land freeway to the glory hole
'Cos he's Livin' it up In No Man's Land Tonight's the night Gonna get to heaven
Livin' it up In No Man's Land Too fast to live Too young to die
One more fever diggin' for fools gold Fast lane freeway to the glory hole The headline read He finally made it No return Baby see him fly Livin' it up In No Man's Land Tonight's the night Gonna get to heaven Livin' it up In No Man's Land Too fast to live Too young to die
She said I'm naked In the jungle There I see you block'n my path Watch what you do It don't come easy No deja vu here Not a chance And you better know If you try to hang me out to dry Baby don't come any closer How will I know If I give in to you You will
Love me Like a ritual Fill me with your spirit Spread you magic dust Love me Like a ritual Tell me where you're hurtin' baby I will be your medicine man Better make it good
And I told here I'm dried up I'm in the desert And I'm tired of kickin' up the dust And you better know Like a dog eatin' dirty pudding I'll be houndin' you to feed me Make sure you know If you give in to me I will
Love you Like a ritual Fill you with the spirit Spread the magic dust Love you Like a ritual Let me be the stranger While I'll watch you do your dance
So when you feel like a lonely child Put on your blue feathered lenses Take me back To the beginning All the way All the way Can you take me all the way
Love me Like a ritual Fill me with your spirit Spread your magic dust Love me Like a ritual Can you cut me deeper When I'll watch you do your dance Never gonna give you up It's like a ritual Love me Like a ritual Fill me with your spirit Love me like a Ritual
When all the colors begin to fade And the imitations turn to grey When the Iron Man begins to rust And the Holy Water turns to dust What will be your savior now Dragon or machine Who will wear the crown of thorns In Mother Nature's dream Who's the one Who claimed my liberty Robbed my soul of freedom How long must I put up with the Unholy sound of your gun Tell me, brother When believers start to lose the faith And the naked army falls from grace When all extremes return to one See them melt into the setting sun The bounty on the rebel's heart Washed away the pride Drove the voice a million miles Across the great divide Who's the one Who claimed my liberty Robbed my soul of freedom Who's the one Who denied my eyes to see Truth behind double tongue Who's the one Who claimed my liberty Robbed my soul of freedom How long must I put up with the Unholy sound of your gun Tell me, brother The bounty on the rebel's heart Washed away the pride Drove the voice a million miles Across the great divide Who's the one Who claimed my libery Robbed my soul of freedom Who's the one Who denied my eyes to see Truth behind double tongue Who's the one Who claimed my liberty Robbed my soul of freedom How long must I put up with the Unholy sound of your gun Tell me, brother
Woman Never before Without a word I hear so much Woman Under the spell Every sin Holy in your touch It's all I feel It's all I see And all I know It must be you You're the spell I'm under You're the spell I'm under Woman How deep can I go Every inch born a new obsession Woman How did you know That I couldn't have helped myself From comin' closer To the oracle of faith taboo All my temptation Hooked on You- You're the spell I'm under Must be you You're the spell I'm under Feels like a drug My will revealed in your spell I remember... You're all I feel You're all I see Revolving in the need for You- You're the spell I'm under I know it must be you You're the spell I'm under Feels like a drug Didn't take very long
I've had enough, got to get away, it's about that time - got to get away And get a little closer to a fast car Get away from the grind - it's about that time
Every damn day we're under pressure, about to lose it, lose my mind
Chorus: I need to loosen up - loosen up - I need a little juicin' up I've been hangin' from the noose, baby won't you cut me loose Come on everybody, loosen up
I need it fast, I'm in need of the buzz When we're all together - I'm in need of the buzz Like a time bomb, I'm about to explode We've got to come together - before I blow
I'm spendin' too many days under pressure, about to lose it, lose my mind
I need to loosen up - loosen up - I said I need a little juicin' up I've been hangin' from the noose, baby won't you cut me loose Come on everybody, loosen up, loosen up
(Solo)
Every damn day we're under pressure, about to lose it, lose my mind
I need to loosen up - loosen up - I need a little juicin' up Give in to your body, it's time to start a party Come on everybody, loosen up
Such tender eyes, such a sweet believer, the story never lies When I found you girl, you were so far down, a black cat in disguise
How in the world could it come to this Couldn't you see that you'd gone too far Saving your soul for that one last kiss Living your wish upon a star
Chorus: Madalaine, this is love too tough to tame Madalaine, beware of the girl, beware of the pain
Running scared through the dark of the day, the story never dies But the names keep changin' and the faces fade, take you dead or alive
How in the world could it come to this Couldn't you see that you'd gone too far Saving your soul for that one last kiss Living your wish upon a star
chorus
(Solo)
All your glory was left like an angry child Waiting to take your luck away But you can't see you're still running wild Oh Madalaine, now don't run away from me
chorus
Madalaine, this is love too tough to tame, too tough to tame...
I hear the ticking on the clock, counting every day I've been alone How long before you're comin' back If I don't see your face I'll turn to stone
Can't keep holding on this way, can't go on another day Can't you hear me when I say, girl I'm
Chorus: Hungry for your love, girl I'm hungry, baby let me in Hungry for your love, hungry, I can't get enough
Your love's the color of my heart When I look in your eyes everything's so clear So still together when we're apart I begin to die unless you're here
I can't keep holding on this way, I can't go on another day Can't you hear me when I say, girl I'm
chorus
I lie awake all night, I can't stop remembering You've got to make it right, I can't hold it in
(Solo)
Hungry!
I hear the ticking on the clock, counting every day I've been alone - hungry
I'm hungry for your love, girl I'm hungry, I can't let go Hungry for your skin, hungry, baby let me in Hungry for your love, hungry, hungry for your love - hungry Hungry!
I saw sparks fly, from the corner of my eye And when I turned, it was love at first sight I said please excuse me, I didn't catch your name Oh it'd be a shame not to see you again
And just when I thought she was comin' to my door She whispered sweet and brought me to the floor, she said
I'm only seventeen, but I'll show you love like you've never seen She's only seventeen, daddy says she's too young, but she's old enough for me
Come to my place, we can talk it over, oh everything going down in your head She said take it easy, I need some time, time to work it out, to make you mine
And just when I thought she was comin' to my door She whispered sweet and brought me to the floor, she said
I'm only seventeen, you ain't seen love, ain't seen nothing like me She's only seventeen, seventeen
Such a bad girl, loves to work me overtime Feels good (ha), dancin' close to the borderline She's a magic mountain, she's a leather glove Oh she's my soul, it must be love
She's only seventeen, still she gives me love, like I've never seen She's only seventeen, daddy says she's too young, but she's old enough for me She's everything I need, daddy says she's too young But she's old enough, old enough for me
Watch the sun go down, it's just my luck again I can hear the sound of your voice haunting me again But just the sound is not enough, I try to wait, but I'm not that tough It's hard to do when I need you here, it seems like forever
Chorus: Without the night, this would be so much easier Without the night reminding me of the pain Without the night, I could keep my heart from believin' I'd be fine without the night
I remember you used to say, how much you've been through And laugh how easy the pain can break your heart in two All for love, you've given up, you try to wait, but you're not that tough Too many times when you need me near, it seems like forever
chorus - without the night
(Solo)
All for love, I've given up, I try to wait, but I'm not that tough Too many times when I need you here, it seems like forever
Rough boy, too tough to fall in love I never break down, always seem to hurt someone I turn and tried to run too late, she's breakin' me down It's over when I see her face, you know I can't find my way out Emergency, the first time love's got a hold on me Emergency, a state of emergency Shot down in the web of a modern girl You take your chances, when the fear inside is real I turn and tried to run too late, she's breakin' me down It's over when I see her face, you know I can't find my way outEmergency, the first time love's got a hold on me Emergency, into you helplessly Emergency...
I'm out the back door just before midnight I push the pedal to the floor, I run away She says it's only in my head but my heart is screamin'
Hey you! What you're tryin' to prove I won't play your game and I won't play your fool Hey you! Best be makin' your move Play your last hand, better understand, now it's
Time to surrender, 'cause my love don't live here anymore Time to surrender, there's nothing left to fight for There's nothin' left to save
Oh she cries so tough, it's too hard to let go Of the lies inside the shadow of her tears and of her pain And I denied when she was playin' the heartbreaker
Hey you! What are you tryin' to prove I won't play your game and I won't play your fool Hey you! Best be makin' your move Play your last hand, better understand, now it's
Time to surrender, 'cause my love don't live here anymore Time to surrender, it's not love you're makin', it's my heart you're breakin'
Your love is breakin' me down
(Solo)
Oh no, I can't take this again, night after night just pretending Oh no, it's closer to the end, my body says go, but I know that now it's
Time to surrender, 'cause my love don't live here anymore Time to surrender, there's nothing left to fight for There's nothin' left to save Time to surrender, 'cause my love don't live here anymore Time to surrender, it's not love you're makin', it's my heart you're breakin'
I know, that you know, that I've seen your face before A bad dream, so mean, rockin' me down like a slot machine So many years, I don't know when, my dear how have you been The way you looked the night we met, gets me hot breathin' oo cold sweat
You were so shy, and I was so high That I don't remember the rest, but the one thing that I'll never forget You're a
Chorus: Poison angel, trying to take my wings away Poison angel, get down on your knees and pray
I still remember what you said, the part about me droppin' dead You sent a letter, I read it twice, I found out you weren't so nice But there you were looking so cool, to this country boy in the New York groove So you left me in the drink, laughing while you watch me sink
You were so shy, and I was so high That I don't remember the rest, but the one thing that I'll never forget
You're a - chorus
(Solo)
Yeah you were some fun, but you never looked at the damage done
My love, try to understand me, I can't stop thinking about you The howling down inside is crying out for your touch The last time to walk away, last time if you think of saving yourself Don't say all my love was in vain, don't say I'm the stranger again
It's just not fair that I can't see you anymore I still want you, I still need you, I can't let go
Chorus: I can't keep from hangin' on, I can't stop, no I'm not that strong I can't keep from hangin' on, hangin' on
I know yesterday is over, but in here the flame is burning on Burning a hole in my heart, where I still believe, I'm still hoping
You closed the door, again and again I still want you, I still need you, I can't let go
Yeah! Morning came and I was on my way, when you reminded me. I had too soon forgotten it was you that set me free. Yeah! You were here when I came, and you'll be here when I'm gone. So don't be waiting for love. 'Cause I'll be waiting to ramble on.
Heading for a heartbreak Headed for a heartbreak.
Darling don't wait up for me, tonight I won't be home. You've become a stranger, I just got to be alone. Don't need nobody on my side to dull the blade I'm on. So don't be waiting for love, 'cause I'll be waiting to ramble on.
Heading for a heartbreak Headed for a heartbreak. Headed for a heartbreak. It's no mistake, don't you think I can feel the pain? I walk away to live again.
Yeah! Morning came and I was on my way, when you reminded me. I had too soon forgotten it was you that set me free. Yeah! You were here when I came, and you'll be here when I'm gone. So don't be waiting for love. 'Cause I'll be waiting to ramble on.
Heading for a heartbreak Headed for a heartbreak. Don't make me hurt you. Headed for a heartbreak. Well I now you're headed for a heartbreak.
I see this lady took a bite out of you And you can't go on in this condition You go blind just tryin' to crawl out of bed Like you're the sacrifice of superstition
She's so down-hearted, she's what you want, what you need She gets you started, drops the bomb, then she takes you
Chorus: Higher 'n' higher, she'll leave your dreams in the fast lane Taking you higher 'n' higher, you can't fight it
Primal scream, she's got the body of sin Should be a law against such an invention A little smile to let you see that she knows And can sense the smell of your intentions
She's so down-hearted, she feeds the want, feeds the need She gets you started, drops the bomb, then she takes you
Higher 'n' higher, she'll leave your dreams in the fast lane Taking you higher 'n' higher, now you'll never be the same
(Solo)
Once bitten, it's forever a game, 'cos her heart will resist all penitention Now you live for just another chance, to her pleasure that's around the nation
She's so down-hearted, she's what you want, what you need She gets you started, drops the bomb, then she takes you
Higher 'n' higher, she'll leave your dreams in the fast lane Taking you higher 'n' higher, you need her love
