Sit there thinkin'
In your room
You feel the pressure
You're goin' crazy too
The walls around you
Closin' in
You need a change

Claustophobic
Feelin' scared
You need somebody
But no one seems to care
A one way ticket
A change of pace
You've had enough
Can't take no more

(Chorus 1)
Breaking the chains around you
Nobody else can bind you
Take a good look around you
Now you're breaking the chains

Got this letter
Came today
From my baby
Who left me yesterday
Said she loves me
She'll come back
She wants to try

I won't let her
She'll be upset
I know it's better
Than somethin' I'll regret
She's been dishonest
And insincere
I lost my mind
Twenty times a year

(Chorus 2)
Breaking the chains around me
Nobody else can bind me
Take a good look around me
Now I'm breaking the chains

(Solo)

Woke up today
I'm alone
I look around
But baby you were gone
But I don't mind
And I don't worry
I will survive

I'm alone
Now that you're gone
Don't need nobody
To hold or tie me down
I broke the chains
So let me be
I've gotta be free

(Repeat Chorus 2)
(Repeat Chorus 2)

(dokken)

Felony
In tight blue jeans
I did not know
She was so sweet
Felony
What ya did ta me
The judge said sorry
First degree

(chorus)
You're here in my heart
Felony
You're here in my heart
Felony, felony, felony, yeah
Felony, felony, felony

Well I was shot down
By a heart so cruel
You were were laughin' yeah


You took me for a fool
I'm struck down
Left lyin' in the dirt
I never knew
How much love it hurts

(chorus)
(solo)

Harvard paid
Detective man
I'm in his sights
I'm on the run
Those tight blue jeans
That drove me wild
I did not know
She was just a child

Felony, yeah

(chorus)
Felony, felony, felony

(lynch, crouchier, dokken)

Run out of breath
And I feel I'm moving too slow
Backwards and forwards
I don't know which way I should go

There's a solution
To make all your feelings alright
The music's here waiting
So come on and get it tonight

Live to rock
Rock to live
It's all you got when
You're down on the skids
Live to rock
Rock to live
One way or another
Survive until the end

Over and under
I'm feeling the thunder take hold
Feeling it flow through my veins
Rock will never get old

There's a solution


To make all your feelings alright
The music's here waiting
So come on and get it tonight

Live to rock
Rock to live
It's all you got when
You're down on the skids
Live to rock
Rock to live
One way or another
Survive until the end

Live to rock
Rock to live
It's all you got when
You're down on the skids, yeah
Live to rock
Rock to live
One way or another
Survive until the end
Live to rock
Rock to live
Til the end
Til the end
Til the end
Live to rock
Rock to live

(dokken, brown, lynch)

It's late at night
I get that feeling running through my veins
You know it drives me insane
In the car, slam the door, turn the key and I'll be free
On that highway tonight

Highway bound
I'm so alive
I'm shifting into overdrive
Nightrider
Autobon
Route 61
I'll drive this road into the sun
Nightrider

My machine is tired and cool
I don't need to go to school
I'll put the hammer down and I'll leave this town
I'm racing time
The freeway just seess to unwind in front of me
And there's no return

My wheels of love
Fit me like a racing glove


Nightrider
Don't touch the brake
Don't cross the line
Don't make mistakes
'cause you know that i'm
Nightrider
Nightrider

Here I come

The engine roars
------- and tied
I'm locked inside my doors
On a midnight run
But who klnows when
Danger lies around the bend for me
With the morning sun

Pass her by
Faster than the speed of light
Nightrider
You better run
Look out now
'cause here I come
Nightrider
Nightrider

This town I'm in can't take no more
Decadance and sin
You were my woman
Why'd you have to be so hard and cold

(Chorus 1)
Paris is burning
Want to see it from afar
Paris is burning
Want to get to where you are

My life's in ruin
The girl I love
She's far away
The distant fire
Brings memories of the love
That I once knew
Where are you now
Been looking all around
And I can't stay
Help me now
I can't stay
Much more before I fade away

(Chorus 2)
Paris is burning
I can see it from afar
Paris is burning
Wanna to where you are

(Solo)

I can't believe
You'd throw it all away
You know you played me for a fool (huh)
I'm leavin' now
This time you know
That I'll be gone for good, yeah

(Chorus 2)
Paris is burning, Paris
Paris is burning
Paris is burning
I can see it from afar
Paris is burning
Paris (fade out)

Desperate living, driving me mad
Writings on the wall
Crushed all our hopes and the dreams we once had
Just to watch them fall

Tearing it up in the daytime
Burning it down at night
How long does it take
To break the spell
Straight to the top
Tooth and Nail

Last generation, reckless and free
Up against the odds
Thoughts of revenge are going through me
Fate lies in the cards

Tearing it up in the daytime
Burning it down at night
How long does it take
To break the spell
Straight to the top
Tooth and Nail

(Guitar solo)

Desperate living, trying to see
Breaking all the rules
Only the strong are gonna be free
From a world of fools

Tearing it up in the daytime
Burning it down at night
How long does it take
To break the spell
Straight to the top
Tooth and Nail

How long does it take
To break the spell
Straight to the top
Tooth and Nail

Tooth and Nail
Tooth and Nail
Straight to the top
Tooth and Nail

I should'a known better
Should'a seen right thru
Over and over falling in love with you
Wanting you for myself- my first mistake
Finding out the hard way
Was all that I could take

You were just using someone
And I was the one

She said "You just got lucky"
I believed your deadly lies
"You just got lucky"
You're a devil in disguise

Don't wanna hear no lies- no apologies
Imagination gets the best of me
I'm looking everywhere- still I see your face
I'll never forget you- you put me in my place

You were just using someone
And I was the one

She said "You just got lucky"
I believed your deadly lies
"You just got lucky"
I've been hypnotized
She said "You just got lucky"
I believed your deadly lies
"You just got lucky"
You're a devil in disguise

Now that is over and I've seen right through
Not looking back again I'll start anew
Was making love to you such a wasted time
Maybe I love you, still, I'll get you off my mind

You were just using someone
And I was the one

She said "You just got lucky"
I believed your deadly lies
"You just got lucky"
I've been hypnotized
She said "You just got lucky"
I was taken by surprise
"You just got lucky"
You're a devil in disguise

Music: lynch, dokken, pilson
Lyrics: lynch

Somebody's watching me, is it just a crazy dream
Is it my memory, playing tricks on me
Out in the streets in the heat of the city
Here comes the night
Sky's turning grey and black
You knew that you were right

Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes or I'll be there
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes or I'll be there


Just a shadow in the dark, you've seen this face before
Is it just a fantasy, is he coming back for more
Out in the alleyways, there is no second chance
Moving up behind you, you've lost the game at last

Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes or I'll be there
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes or I'll be there

Somebody's watching me, is it just a crazy dream
Is it my memory, playing tricks on me
Out in the alleyways, there is no second chance
Moving up behind you, you've lost the game at last

Don't close your eyes

You weave your spell
Your eyes they beckon me
Your lips they speak, lies and misery
I know it's wrong, but I can't turn away
The flames draw near, they're telling me to stay

(Into the fire) I'm falling
(Into the fire) I'm falling
Into the fire

Your love burns bright, and yet the flames are cold
This time I fear, you won't be back no more
When will it end, your love consumes my soul
Into the fire, I'm being tempted once more

(Into the fire) I'm falling
(Into the fire) I'm falling
Into the fire

Take me back where I came from
Don't wanna see your face no more
You broke my heart, now it's not the same
I'm falling, again
I'm falling, again
Into the fire

I'd like to see you in the morning light
I'd like to feel you when it comes tonight
Now I'm here and I'm all alone
Still I know how it feels
I'm alone again

Tried so hard to make you see
But I couldn't find the words
Now the tears, they fall like rain
I'm alone again without you
Alone again without you
Alone again without you
Alone again without you

I said stay, but you turned away
Tried to say that it was me
Now I'm here and I've lost my way
Now I know how it feels
I'm alone again

repeat CHORUS

(bridge)
I...
repeat CHORUS

Music: lynch, pilson
Lyrics: brown, lynch, pilson

I'm like a wildcat at midnight
I'm like a stick of dynamite
Evil senses taking over me
Gonna let the action steal the night

Turn up the heat
Turn down the lights (action, action)
Turn up the heat
Baby go all night

Turn on the action
Turn on the night
Turn on the action


Turn on the night

I'm looking over my shoulder
I'm running reckless thru the night
Forever young not getting older
Satisfaction guaranteed tonight

Turn up the heat
Turn down the lights (action, action)
Turn up the heat
Baby go all night

Turn on the action
Turn on the night
Turn on the action
Turn on the night

I've been lost in the middle
Always trying to find the wishing well
Running around in circles
Never crossing the line

Don't want to touch you
Don't want to see
You've got a knife in your heart
Don't say that you did it for me

Never unchain the night
Don't tell me that the love is gone
Never unchain the night
Cause there's always another turn

You know right where you want it
But you never gave it in return
Running me in circles
Always crossing the line

Don't want to touch you
Leave you confused
You took the easy way out
When you looked through the eyes of a fool

Never unchain the night
Don't tell me that the love is strong
Never unchain the night
Cause there's always another turn

Never, never
Never, never

Never unchain the night
Don't tell me that the love is gone
Never unchain the night
I'm never gonna set you free
Never unchain the night
Don't tell me that the love is gone
Never unchain the night
Cause there's always another turn
Never unchain the night

In my dreams
It's still the same
Your love is strong
It still remains

Toss and turn all night
In the sheets
But I can't sleep
Night after night
Don't know what it means
In my dreams

What can I say or do
You won't come back
We're through
I've realized too late
That, baby, your love has turned away

In my dreams
It's still the same
Your love is strong
It still remains
In my dreams
You're still by me
Just the way it used to be

Calling your name
But you're turning away
Please don't leave
Running in circles
Waiting to see you
In my dreams

What can I say or do
You won't come back
We're through
I've realized too late
That, baby, your love has turned away

In my dreams
It's still the same
Your love is strong
It still remains
In my dreams
You're still by me
Just the way it used to be

In my dreams
It's still the same
Your love is strong
It still remains
In my dreams
You're still by me
Just the way it used to be

In my dreams
It's still the same
Your love is strong
It still remains
In my dreams
You'll always be
In my heart and
In my dreams

In my dreams
It's still the same
In my dreams
You're still by me
In my dreams
Just the way it used to be

In my dreams
What can I say
In my dreams
You're still by me
And in my dreams
You'll always be
In my dreams
You'll always be
In my dreams
Your love is strong
In my dreams
You're still the same
In my dreams

The lights go down
You can feel it all around you
Like a razor's edge that cuts through the air
You can hear the sound
It's coming down like thunder
You don't have to tell me why
You don't have to care

When the lightnin' strike again
And the lights go down


And you might be near the end
When the lightnin' strikes again

You draw the line
And you leave it all behind you
You lost your mind and then you lose control
By the time
That you feel the lightnin' strike you
You know you've been holding back
You've got to let it go

Told you i had to leave, i had my reasons
I said that it hurt to stay, the way that i'm feelin'

It's not love
That left you standin'
It's not love
That left you cold
It's not love
Misunderstandin'
Only a mistake
There's nothing left to take

Why, baby, why did you make me let you go
And leave you so lonely
Why, baby, why did you have to hold on
You know it's not love anymore

Gave you your last chance but you didn't believe me
You can't keep me satisfied, the way that you treat me

It's not love
That left you standin'
It's not love
That left you cold
It's not love
Misunderstandin'
Only a mistake
There's nothing left to take

Why, baby, why did you make me let you go
And leave you so lonely
Why, baby, why, stop playing with my heart
I told you

It's not love
Telling you to be this way
It's not love
Sayin' you can never change
It's not love
When i told you
Is he putting you down
Down, down, down

It wasn't just your innocence No It wasn't temptation
It was just your own way Of placing the blame on me
Stop thinking that it's all in vain You keep trading your love for pain
Someday an answer will come Cause there ain't no way to escape
Baby I'm a prisoner Oh Chained by love
It's so easy to see I could never be free
I'm a prisoner Chained by love Chained by love
The answer for your loneliness Was only frustration
So you gave it all away By placing the blame on me
Remember how it used to be Your lies won't die that easily
Something's wrong Why can't you see There ain't no way to escape
Baby I'm a prisoner Oh Chained by love
It's so easy to see I could never be free
I'm a prisoner Chained by love Chained by love
It's so easy to see I could never be free I'm a prisoner Chained by love--
Hold my heart in misery CAUSE I'M A PRISONER
Did my time So let me be Let me go You owe it to me---
LEAD
Someday an answer will come your way Something's wrong Why can't you see
That there ain't no way to escape Escape
Baby I'm a prisoner Oh Chained by love
It's so easy to see I could never be free
I'm a prisoner Chained by love Chained by love
It's so easy to see I could never be free
I'm a prisoner Chained by love Chained by love
BREAK
It's so easy to see I could never be free I'm a prisoner Chained by love

There seems no justice when you fall in love
It gives you blindness when you are the one
The one that's hurtin' Cause they've got the gun
There seems no justice when you fall in love

Save me Don't let me fall Heaven sent I heard the call
Stop me Don't let me go Touch my heart And let me know

CHORUS:
HEAVEN SENT Thought you would set me free
HEAVEN SENT Thought it could never be
HEAVEN SENT If I had only seen
That you were burnin' the fire in me

You turned my passion Most of my soul
But I will come back Baby Stronger than before
Take my feelin's Leave me in pain I will forget you One of these days

Stop me From feelin' this way Heaven sent You drive me insane
Hold me Don't let me go Touch me now And let me know

CHORUS:

Passion burned I felt the fire Touch my soul I felt desire
Now I see Where we went wrong Am I to blame I'm fallin' in love

LEAD

Passion burned I felt the fire Touch my soul I felt desire
Now I see Where we went wrong Heaven sent But you're not the one
HEAVEN SENT Thought you would set me free
HEAVEN SENT Thought it could never be
Passion burned I felt the fire-- Heaven sent But Baby You're not the one--
HEAVEN SENT HEAVEN SENT I felt the fire
HEAVEN SENT HEAVEN SENT Heaven sent But Baby You're not the one---

I, yeah, i'm leaving today
Sorry is not enough
Like so many things
We were lost forever

I can't turn the hands of time
Back to the way it was
I can only go on
To find a better road

I can't stop you now
My back's against the wall

There's only so many tears you can cry
There's only so many ways you can say goodbye
There's only so many tears you can cry
There's only so many ways you can say goodbye
So many tears you can cry

You had such a foolish heart
You thought it would last forever
But you were the one
That brought it to an end

Now i'm standing in the rain
'cause i wasn't there for you
Such a fool was i
It should have never been

I couldn't stop you now
My back's against the wall

There's only so many tears you can cry
There's only so many ways you can say goodbye
There's only so many tears you can cry
There's only so many ways you can say goodbye
So many tears
So many tears
Only so many tears you can cry

You can't change the world
Place the blame on me
Life goes on without you
There's nothing left for me

I can't change the world
Place the blame on me
Life goes on without you
And now at last i see
There's only so many tears you can cry
There's only so many ways you can say goodbye
Only so many tears you can cry
There's only so many ways you can say goodbye

I can't take anymore
So mnay tears
Life goes on without you
So many tears
There's nothing left for me
So many tears
And now we're lost forever
So many tears

Never thought our love would last
For so long
Time and time again
I thought that you would be gone
Still we kept love hanging on
I guess it's meant to be
That your heart still belongs to me

And now we've stood the test of time
We survived
I asked for hope and a chance
You gave the key to your heart
You used to say that i'm not sincere
I'm gonna prove that you're wrong
I'm never gonna leave your arms
Should've realized before
Your love's worth waiting for

Don't you know that
It's our love that's burning
Burning like a flame
And you know that
It's out love that's never gonna change
'cause every time i touch you
You just make me go insane
Don't you know that
It's our love that's burning

Our love burning like a flame

Like a fantasy in the dark
You were gone
I couldn't say the words
That you wanted to hear
But baby, now that i see the light
I feel it's burning so bright
So let's stop wasting all this time
Should've seen it all before
Our love's worth waiting for

Don't you know that
It's our love that's burning
Burning like a flame
And you know that
It's out love that's never gonna change
'cause every time i touch you
You just make me go insane
Don't you know that
It's our love that's burning

Our love burning like a flame

Should've seen it all before
Your love's worth waiting for

Don't you know that
It's our love that's burning
Burning like a flame
And you know that
It's out love that's never gonna change
'cause every time i touch you
You just make me go insane
Don't you know that
It's our love that's burning
Our love burning like a flame
Our love, never gonna change

I lie awake and dread the lonely nights
I'm not alone
I wonder if these heavy eyes
Could face the unknown
When I close my eyes I realize
You'll come my way
I'm standing in the night alone
Forever together

We're the dream warriors
Don't wanna dream no more
We're the dream warriors
And maybe tonight
Maybe tonight you'll be gone

I feel the touch comin' over me
I can't explain
I hear the voices callin' out
Callin' my name
It's the same desire to feel the fire
That's comin' your way
I'm standing in the night alone
Forever together

We're the dream warriors
Don't wanna dream no more
We're the dream warriors
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
We're the dream warriors
Ain't gonna dream no more
And maybe tonight
Maybe tonight you'll be gone

Sweet revenge, the bitter end
This time
Break the spell of illusion
Bound together waiting for you

Dream warriors
Don't wanna dream no more
We're the dream warriors
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
We're the dream warriors
Ain't gonna dream no more
We're the dream warriors
And maybe tonight
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
Dream warriors
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
Dream warriors, forever
Dream warriors
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
Dream warriors

A faded picture from your heart
Was all you left for me
I'm still waiting, stanging here
To see what i could see

Your love i borrowed just like time
It wasn't mine to keep
But the love we shared
I thought was there
And now you have to leave

Just walk away
There'll be no more tomorrows
Just walk away
You won't be there for me
From far away
I tried to say i'm sorry
But i can't find a way
(to) just walk away

Couldn't see for i was blind
The hurt you hide inside
I didn't mean to break your heart
I wish it had been mine

And as another day unfolds
Don't know what it means
Was it love we had
Or love gone bad
Still the love we need

Just walk away
There'll be no more tomorrows
Just walk away
You won't be there for me
From far away
I tried to say i'm sorry
But i can't find a way
(to) just walk away

I'm still standing, waiting here
Waiting for a sign
I didn't mean to break your heart
I wish it had been mine

Just walk away
There'll be no more tomorrows
Just walk away
You won't be there for me
From far away
I tried to say i'm sorry
But i can't find a way
(to) just walk away

Just walk away
Yeah, walk away
Just walk away...

A brief encounter
Like wind through the trees
It came so suddenly
But then it was gone
Like it had never been
How could i have ever seen
A lost heart
Will take your soul

How could i have known
How could i have known
As she took me in her arms
And brought me to an end
With the kiss of death
The kiss of death

She promised paradise
As she lied upon her bed
Like a fallen angel
With the devil's charm
She promised paradise
With the kiss of death

I tried to stop
As she held out her hand
But the fire was burning inside
She knew what i wanted
She gave it and more
But now i must pay the price
We were strangers
Passing in the night

How could i have known
How could i have known
As she took me in her arms
And brought me to an end
With the kiss of death
The kiss of death

She promised paradise
As she lied upon her bed
Like a fallen angel
With the devil's charm
She promised paradise
With the kiss of death

As she took me in her arms
I felt the devil's charm
Suddenly i see
The final destiny
With the kiss of death
The kiss of death

She promised paradise
As she lied upon her bed
Like a fallen angel
With the devil's charm
She promised paradise
With the kiss of death

With the kiss of death

Music: lynch
Lyrics: pilson, brown, lynch

Total confusion- one final sin
Someone's religion and greed
Accidents happen, someone to blame
Who's got the answers we need?

I don't know who to believe
But I know who's gonna set me free
Cause I'll be waiting

When heaven comes down

Ashes to ashes, sorrow and shame
Look at the future again


Angels in heaven walking the streets
Searching for someone to blame

I don't know who to believe
But I know who's gonna set me free
Cause I'll be waiting

When heaven comes down
Until tomorrow
When heaven comes down

Cause I'll be waiting
When heaven comes down
Until tomorrow
When heaven comes down

He was a desparate man
They couldn't understand
He wanted more from life
It was his one device

Yeah, he fell tried and hung
When the lights were low
Yeah it was in his eyes
And it was no surprise

Through the streets at night
He's smiling like no other
As he paid again
Look to find another

Standing in the shadows
Watching the world go by
Standing in the shadows
He was looking
Looking for a place to hide

He felt this way before
And knew he wanted more
He knew the dawn would come
And he'd be on the run

But still they drove him on
Like a loaded gun
His time was running out
And he realized that he'd been here before

Like a scream in the night
For his crime they showed no pity
Even though they'd done the same
It's the way of life in the city

Standing in the shadows
Watching the world go by
Standing in the shadows
He was looking
Looking for a place to hide

Lock your doors

Standing in the shadows
Watching the world go by
He was standing in the shadows
Looking
Looking for a place
Standing in the shadows
He was standing in the shadows
Watching the world
Standing in the shadows
Standing in the shadows
He was standing in the shadows
Standing in the shadows
Standing in the shadows

(dokken, lynch)

We sold our sons and we sold our daughters
Pretty soon we'll sell our brothers
We took the gold, but the gold was water
I tried to save the world, but I failed her

She cries the tears that I never left her
I left them all behind
You were sitting in your darkest hour
Summer's gone

We tried to make the world so much better
We send our words in a pretty perfumed letter
You sit alone in your ivory towers
I'm just one person, I don't matter

You tap the needle, and you went to heaven
You left it all behind
Now you're feeling oh so better

Chorus



Too high to fly
You should've seen me there (yeah)
Too high to fly, my baby
But you were almost there

The sun shines down on my face
But you don't feel a thing (no, no, no)
The lines on the street, and the some rises
You looked too long for heaven, now you're blinded, baby

Another morning sun
Another day gone by
The storm's coming
With the pouring rain

Chorus 2

The storm comes with the pouring rain (salvation)
The lines in the street, and the smoke rises
Wanderin' round for forty days, hope you find it

Chorus 3

(dokken, pilson, lynch)

Sitting in the crossfire all alone
Waiting for a world to show the way
Tried to find a rose without a thorn
Such a foolish notion fades away

[if it's all] in my mind
Then why does it feel
Like there isn't any time

Walk the road [follow the madness]
Of someone's path
Search for self [well it doesn't mean you're wrong]
If you can
'cause it's gonna be ['cause it's gonna be]
A long way home
Wandering through the maze of all the fears
In the mind it makes no sense at all
Tell me not what I'm supposed to do
Crucify you christ without my cross


If it's all in my mind
Then why does it feel
Like I'm running out of time

Walk the road [follow the madness]
Of someone's path
Search for self [well it doesn't mean you're wrong]
If you can
'cause it's gonna be ['cause it's gonna be]
A long way home

Mythical past
Future behind me, shattered
I could not be
Someone beside
Take back my soul, my soul

Walk the road [follow the madness]
Of someone's path
Search for self [well it doesn't mean you're wrong]
If you can
'cause it's gonna be
A long way home

Turn the lights down low there's nobody home
I've been watchin' for hours the clock on the wall
Seems the hands are frozen they don't move at all
Then the silence breaks as you walk through the door
On an on an on somewhere I don't belong
I'm all out of reasons to stay so I won't
On an on an onit won't leave me alone
Wish that you could remember the time when I said

I can't wait any longer to love you
Turns my reflection away from the day
I can't stand when you're so indecisive
Make up your mind so I can escape

When I hold you close there's nobody home
I can hear every heartbeat whisper and woe
Turn me on with your eyes as I smile right on cue
You rehearse everything that you say an you do
On an on an on you and I don't belong
There's no reason to stay anymore so I won't
On an on an on something's terribly wrong
Wish that you could remember the time that we said

I waited so long I'm going to the otherside
I'm losing my mind over you
I've been watchin' for hours the clock on the wall
Seems the hands are frozen they don't move at all
