Michael Schenker

A time of fear, so long ago,
Lived a man in Salon,
In his dark and magic room,
He gazed on times to come,
All is then revealed, and visions on water speak true!
Cry for the nations, cry for the nations.
A flash of light, fills the night,
And chills the blood in his veins,
Will the power possess his mind, soul in chains
All is then revealed, and tears that he shed were for you
Cry for the nations, cry for the nations.
Battles of kings, and of fools,
And changes in ways he once knew,
As pages of days fade away
He's lost in time...
Cry for the nations.

*Seventeen the nature's queen, know what I mean
Twenty one, the lone one,
you can see the numbers run
Now you look so peaceful, lyin' there asleep
With the wings of god above you
Before the spirits meet
*Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom

Shadow earth is closin in above the
Lamps in your street
Lucifer goes walkin' down for you to meet
Minutes pass so slowly by the hands on your clock
Heaven don’t just know where when, you can knock
* Repeat
With all darkness closing in
Will the light reveal your soul?
Just one sweet kiss on your clay cold lip’s
I know sleep you'll never know
Where do we go, where do we go
Where do we go from here?

*Repeat
* Repeat

Was a fast tough woman, loved to play the clown
You won't do nothin' about it, Break a good boy's resistance down
You know she's got a pistol, Laid it down for real
She said, shoot, shoot, shoot it boy
You gotta shoot it for me

Convinced me that she was worth it
Never knew I was her kill
And two 45's would do the trick and pay the bills
You know she's got a pistol
Laid it down on me
And she said, shoot, shoot, shoot it boy
You gotta shoot it for me

I've really got to get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here, Gotta get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here now

Holing out in my hotel room, police they finally come
And here is the prosecution,and my print’s upon the gun
You know she's got a pistol, Laid it down for real
She said, shoot, shoot, shoot it boy
You gotta shoot it for me
I've really got to get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here, Gotta get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here now

High flyers, wheelin' birds
I'm so far out to sea
Ships are passing every night
Oh, all my boyish dreams
And you're every melody
With the sea tides tossing' free
Never, never holdin' back
Rock and rollers drift by

Turn to summer, goes so fast
Seems I'll never see you
One weak hand and a photograph
Oh, all my boyish dreams

And you're every melody
With the sea tides tossing' free
Never, never holdin' back
Rock and rollers drift by

Oh Belladonna, never knew the pain
Maybe I'm crazy, maybe it'll drive me insane,
The open letter just carelessly placed ,
And you move in silence, the tea so delicately laced -

Out of reach, out of touch
How you've learned to hate so much
Out of reach, out of touch
How you've learned to hate so much

Came from passion, and you gave it a name
The fingers are poisoned like needles, in the drivin' rain
So smile discreetly as you watch with such grace
Now I must slip away, but can you forget my face

Something going on at the corner of the block
It's the kids down there They were startin' to rock
Hot black fever runnin' everyplace
When the Greek kid pulled a knife and pushed it in his face

Some girl makes it with a lover in the dark
As the ambulance pulls away, she cries out more
-And it's all night long, all night long

On with the action
Need the fastest legs alive
On with the action
If you can't run you aint gonna survive
On with the action
Mama's boy and teacher's pet
On with the action
It's down our street, is it in yours yet

All the kids stand laughin' They never had such fun
When someone cuts a brown man who just can't make a run
And the queen that's been standin' behind the toilet door
His parents don't like boyfriends, call him a whore
But the minister's starin' with his bible in his hand
Was this God’s children, he didn't understand

Said she came from Memphis
You can look but please don't touch
Didn't like rock and rollers
Seemed a bit much too much

Cause it's the natural thing ,feelin' the star
The Natural blood starts to flow
Yeah, the natural thing, got up a star
Then she'll never let you go

Hey girl, now does it feel allright Think I'm gettin' through
Don't you think the band's real tight Wait till we start to move --
May sound funny but you gave it to me, I didn't even like it
May sound funny but you gave it to me ,And now I got to live without it

I been down to Atlanta, Got to move my feet
Gettin' down before the last call
With every star she meets

Tell me why we're never more than strangers
Tell me why you never let it show

*But when you're close to me
And whisper I need you
In the cold mornin' light
Try me oh take me for a little while
Before it's over and you leave me with just a smile
Try me oh let me be the one
You say it's over
But for me it had just begun

* Repeat

Tell me why you seem no more than strangers
Tell me why you feelin' never goes

Caught in the crossfire, warning fight
Let's just make our break game
Swept up by the road in waves of the night
Paper Chase for fame
But I was too, too hot, baby
Too hot to handle
Yeah, I was too, too hot Too hot to handle

Wink of an eye, the feelers run high
The rock and roll malaise
But I ain't no romance
And I ain't no soul chance
Won't get no quick change
And I’m too, too hot, baby
Too hot to handle
Yeah, I'm too, too hot, baby
Too hot to handle

*La la la la, roll you over
Turn you around and do it again

La la la la, keep on coming
Do it once but never the same

*Repeat

I'm in your town, won't fool around
I'll make some at your step
Just like the story says, these boys are bad So keep out of shootin' range

'Repeat
'Repeat

Who's takin' time out
We'll take your shout out
We're the boys, we got nothin' to lose
I've had enough now of school stuff now
You ain't with us then it's just bad news

Only you can rock me, rock me
Come on back now, do it again
Only you can rock me, rock me
Kickin' off just like a hurricane

We can't wait from day to day
Cause we've got somethin' to say
We can't wait from day to day
Cause we've got somethin' to say

Come out on the street now
On every corner
Breakin' out and we're doin' what we wanna
Just like a jewel shines in the night
She burns so hot out under the street light

Only you can rock me, rock me
Come on back now, do it again
Only you can rock me, rock me
Kickin' off just like a hurricane

We are here and there's no end We'll keep on comin' again
We are here and there's no end We'll just keep comin' again

Oh, it's been too many times
And I can't go back
Night bars, -guitars, rundown motels like shacks
What it amounts up to I don't want it at all
I lost you and I want you today

Misty green and blue
Oh, to love to love you
Misty green and blue
Oh, to love to love you

Oh, to be something
To be near you
Don't say that you'll never know
Oh, to love to love you

Half the time it could seem funny
The other half is just too sad
This west bound moon’s only rise and fall
I lost you and I want you today
Misty green and blue
Oh, to love to love you
Misty green and blue
Oh, to love to love you

To be something
To be near you
I don't know where I'm goin' to
I've tried and I need you to stay

Doctor doctor, please Oh, the mess I'm in
Doctor doctor, please, oh the mess I'm in
She walked up to me and really stole my heart
And then she started to take my body apart
*Livin', lovin', I'm on the run Far away from you
Livin', lovin', I'm on the run So far away from you

Doctor doctor, please, Oh, I m goin' fast
Doctor doctor, please, oh, I'm goin' fast
It's only just a moment, she's turnin' paranoid
That's not a situation for a nervous boy
*Doctor doctor, please, Oh, the mess I'm in
Doctor doctor, please, oh, the mess I'm in
But you look so angry as I crawled across your floor
She's got the strength, and I can't take any more
* Repeat

Wind blows back, and the frightened 'Titan
Whines all the way
Out to the fun all night long
Maybe now your time has come

From the back streets there's a rumblin'
Smell of anarchy
No more nice time, Black boy shoe shines
High in the sky Dreams

*Lights out, lights out London
Hold on tight til the end
Better now you know you’ll never
Wait til tomorrow
Lights out, lights Out London
Hold on tight til the end
God knows when I'm comin' on my run

Heaven help those who help themselves
That's the way it goes
Frightnin’ thoughts we’ve once been taught
And now it shows

*Repeat

You keep callin', there's no endin'
Tried a thousand times
Under your feet the grass is growing
Time we say goodbye

*Repeat
Lights out, lights out in London
Lights out, lights out in London

Just a kid with a crazy dream
Wants it all before he's seventeen
Don't know where to begin

With a wild thought he ignores the facts
Whoa,There's no lookin' back
Just gotta stand up, make it real

How does it feel to be right out on your own
Just gotta keep lookin' out for number one

Some people make it and others don't try
They seem happy to live out a lie
I'm out here on my own
Me, I'm a gambler and I pay for my sin
I've been there and I'm back again

How does it feel to be right out on your own
Just gotta keep lookin' out for number one

Let's get away, right out of here
It's not soon enough for me
Breaks up a lifetime, there on the lifeline
Reach out and grab it, it's free

How does it feel to be right out on your own
Just gotta keep lookin' out for number one
How does it feel to be out on your own
Just gotta keep lookin' out for number one
(Repeat and fade)

Are you high tonight, are you feeling right,
'cause I need you now, like I never did before,
is it hard enough, is it loud enough,
'cause if you don't approve, you can use the door.
Armed and ready. I got a gunsight trained on you.

I'm in overdrive, and I feel alive,
got everything I need, and that ain't all,
got a thing to do, I wanna do for you.
I wanna see you jump like hell when I call;

Armed and ready, I got a spotlight trained on you!
Armed and ready, don't let me down tonight!

Are you high tonight, are you feeling right,
'cause I need you now, like I never did before,
is it hard enough, is it loud enough,
'cause if you don't approve, you can use the door.

Armed and ready, I got my gunsight trained on you!
Armed and ready, don't let me down tonight!

Are you high tonight, are you feeling right,
is it hard enough, is it loud enough,
are you high !

A time of fear, so long ago,
lived a man in SaIon;
in his dark and maglc room,
he gazed on times to come;
all is then revealed, and visions on water speak true!
Cry for the nations, cry for the nations.

A flash of light, fills the night,
and chills the blood in his veins,
will the power possess his mind, soul in chains.
All is then revealed, and tears that he shed were for you
Cry for the nations, cry for the nations.

Battles of kings, and of fools,
and changes in ways he once knew,
as pages of days fade away
he's lost in time . . .

Cry for the nations.

As I look out into the night, I'm alone here,
there are so many, empty faces around,
all around me;
as I try to get through, it seems like
they don't understand me;
and they keep pulling me back, to take
part in their fantasies.

But, I get this feeling when I look inside,
it's such a strange feeling, I can't hide,
but what can I do, where can I go,
when I've come this far.

I'm looking out, looking out from nowhere.
I'm looking out, looking out forever.


But, now the time is right,
I've got to break out to the other side,
but you can never know
what the other side has got to show!
as I try to get through, it seems like they don't
understand me,
and they keep pulling me back,
taking part in their fantasies!

But, I get this feeling, when I look inside,
it's such a strange feeling, I can't hide,
but what can I do, where can I go,
when I've come this far.

I'm looking out, looking out from nowhere.
I'm looking out, looking out forever.

I've stood in time, wind and rain
I have no feelings, or name,
but I can see, I can hear,
the voice of death is shouting in my ear!

Making war, making love, you know what
I'm thinking of.
How many times the traps are set,
you can't remember, and I can't forget!

Can you see me now, can you feel the pain,
can you heal the scars on me,
life within my heart, hope within my soul is dying!

Bid farewell, the works of men
when cries of anger sound again,
my tears of shame cut like a knife,
how can I justify this life!

Can you see me now
can you heal the scars on me,
life within my heart, hope within my soul, is dying
My mind is searching, for reasons why
a time to live or die,
if we had now what we had then
lost horizons might return again . . .
Can you see me now, can you feel the pain,
can you heal the scars on me,
life within my heart, hope within my soul, is dying!
Lost horizons



Nightmare

Nightmare lying here in the dark
Scared like my dreams made their mark
I wonder
Dreamer always alone
Lost in a part of myself I can't find anymore
I wonder if it's gonna end tonight

I can't sleep alone anymore
I need you here with me
Even though I closed all the doors
There's somethin' holdin' me

* Never Ending Nightmare
Always there instead of you
Never Ending Nightmare
No escape this time from you

Lately been around someone new
Needed to fill in the space
That once sheltered you
Still I worry, if you're gonna be alright

I can't sleep alone anymore
Need someone here with me
All I ever wanted and more
My dreams are fighting for

** Never Ending Nightmare
Always there instead of you
Never Ending Nightmare
Punishing me for the things I do
Never ending Nightmare

No escape this time from you

Don't give me reasons, when I know for sure
Cause I knew the answers, before I had to go
To say I'm just wasting my time
What kind of a friend would you be
Cause you know that better than I

Hand me a friendship that puts me to the test
Then you wouldn't be any better than all the rest
Don't say I'm just wasting my time
What kind of a friend would you be
Cause you know that better than I

I'm looking for love, looking for a friend
Looking for love in the end
I'm looking for love, you gonna my friend
I'm looking for love in the end

Always unfeeling, and sometimes, oh so cold
The voice of my anger rings loud, so I'm told
Don’t say I’m just wasting my time, what kind
Of a friend would you be,Cause you know that
Better than I

I'm looking for love, looking for a friend
Looking for love in the end
I'm looking for love, you gonna my friend
I'm looking for love in the end

A kiss of the wind, then the spirits let fly
To the coldness of sun
I got no place to hide, nowhere to run!

When the wind gets high and the mountains sigh
I've got to get back home the wind don’t wait for
No one, no one at all
Moves on and on etc.
Look behind the window winter’s come?

Blood on the streets, when the black skies shout
And then people cry no more
Dreams just fade away, realities soar
The only crime is his fate
Can't think, can’t relate
Illusions seized His mind
The key to all the answers are locked in his eyes!

Moves on and on,etc
Look behind the Window, Winter’s coming?

You put me down,That's what I said
I hit the clouds and you kicked me in the head
Ain't that a strange thing for you to do I’ll never get it now
together we were new
I don't need this, you don't want that
I wonder when you're gonna get upon my back
You'd better keep me just while you may
You'd better stick around or get out the way

*Why don't you want me
You cannot know
Why love me
Then go

Just straighten out your head and mind
Forget about the things that make you draw the line
Don't want to take warnings from you
Can't have much more of this What are you tryin' to do

*Repeat(x2)

There's got to be some other way
It's time to work it out
Turn it blue from grey
Your cutting out is cutting in
We have no time to bleed the blood is running thin
I don't need this you don't want that
I wonder where you're gonna get on the track
You'd better keep me just where you may
You'd better stick around until you're on the way
repeat* twice

Mister Rock and Roller, You're never gonna die
Out in the washroom, They busted tonight
The blue suited soldiers, With the coke sniffin'hounds
Come out of your nightmares, And run you to the ground
Run you to the ground, Run you to the ground

How come you never, Get wise to what you see
Yesterday's newspapers blankets in the street
Running from your demons, They're out to get your soul
To much human debris, On the sidewalks of world
Sidewalks of the world Sidewalks of the world

*Run for your life
To keep on with the living
'Cause we've all been right and wrong
Holding your ground on your own
The word is out you're going down
And no one will ever know

Look out rock and roller You'll never want to die
They hide in the washroom And bust in tonight
The blue suited soldiers With the coke sniffin' hounds
Come out of your nightmares To run you to the ground
Run you to the ground Run you to the ground

* Repeat

She works at it hard and she keeps herself to herself
But she can take what she gets anyway
She talks of the things and places she wants to go
But she knows that she wants all the things she wants

*She's a great dancer
Not ideally built for ballet
She's got her calling card to live this way

The young teenage boys
Would climb on cars just to take a look
They watch her move, schoolboy dreamers fantasy

*She's a dancer, not ideally built for ballet
Embracing everyone to see the play

Everyone's eyes are looking on as she takes the stage
Seeing themselves as she plays out their lives for them

* Repeat(x2)

She works everyday, does anyone care ?
Playing the fool is anyone there?

* Repeat

She still looks quite young and the world has a space for her
Something there in her face good to photograph
The reason she said, for being able to take success
Living this life, cause she only has this chance

* Repeat

Everybody knows, she knows, she knows
She's got a good voice
She's keen and got some visual sense
She's keen and has to take a chance
Which she knows in her streetwise way
She knows, she knows...

I was just another fool
Breaking everybody's rules
Same mistake as the last time
Everything was easier
I didn't have to worry no
Now it's all gone
Suddenly I find myself
Can't it be that I must find my way
What more can I say
And so it goes
Oh! Nothing will be clear anymore

Time and there's so much left to say
Still I can't find the words
When you need just one more day
Time and there's so much left to say
But I just can't find the time

So many reasons to despair
I needed help but no one was there
I should have known I should have known
What was I supposed to do
The only one to understand me now was you
But I never knew
And so it goes
Oh! now nothing will be clear anymore

Open up your heart I'm comin' through your world today
Release yourself upon my eagerness In every way
So young and innocent, too naive to understand
I'll take you by the hand And lead you to the promised land

Wind that beats across my face Rain that soaks my skin
Excitement that I feel down below And deep within
Each time I look at you My little girl, I know it's true
I just can't help myself Can't stop myself all over you

I'm just a spirit on a mission from above
Sent here to satisfy the lust we're all thinkin' of
Your conscience holds the sins, beg me for forgiveness
The penance you receive Will fill your heart with happiness

Save yourself A night with me is all it takes
To save yourself Your finest hour has just begun

I've never known so much power Since it all began
The Lord him self must have touched me With his very hand
Such loveliness lying here before This troubled man
My little angel spread your wings And fly me upside down

I'm just a spirit on a mission from above
Sent here to satisfy the lust we're all thinkin' of
Your conscience holds the sins, beg me for forgiveness
The penance you receive Will fill your heart with happiness

Save yourself A night with me is all it takes
To save yourself Your finest hour has just begun

Bet you're gettin' the wrong idea 'bout me
Bet you're thinkin' there's more than the eye can see
I'll tell you somethin', then maybe again I won't
'Cause now you see me, but who knows, maybe you don't

Time after time...you had your chances
and you threw them away..oh no..
Don't waste my time, 'cause I don't need the glory
That's all I want to say.....

*
Gimme your love
You know what it does to me
-Drives me crazy....ain't tellin' no lies
Gimme your love
With you I feel satisfied
When you're by my side
I tell you no lies

It's on the line....can't think about nothin' else
Suits me fine, 'Cause I know we're two of a kind
To trust myself is something I just can't do
So how the hell..girl...am I going to trust you?

Night after night....two crazy people
getting high on their love
Crazy love....
Don't stop me now, I got a one-way ticket
straight to your heart..oh no..

*Repeat

Bet you're gettin' the wrong idea 'bout me
I bet you're thinkin'...there's more than the eye can see
Well, you should talk...I know quite a bit about you
Don't look so worried, just do what we both want to do

'Cause time after time..you had your chances
and you threw them away
All away........
You cut it so fine with your advances honey,
Now I know just what to say

*Repeat

It's early morning, not quite awake
The urge is calling and I can't wait
I need you now, Oh!
Your body moves, we feel like one
You open your eyes and I feel so strong
I want you now, more than ever

You laugh when I cry
I'm beginning to see the reason why
Don't go thinking I'll never leave
'Cause you won't be laughin'
You won't believe (You better believe)

When I'm gone baby, gone
Who's gonna hold you
From dark until dawn
And who will be there
That can love you like me
When I'm gone?

Your clothes are hanging on the floor
My room is full of the night before
And the promise you made to love me forever

Oh! You can't use me
Then just up and leave
You got it wrong
You better believe
If I walk out that door
It's forever
There's no turnin' back

When I'm gone baby, gone
Who will you turn to
When you need someone
Who will be there to love you
Do what I do
When I'm gone..

Walking through the desert
You know what it's about
It's really from the church
Too foreign
That was never there
Yet you know I'm in heaven
But it is a hell
Sun is drying up my brain
The smile and installations
Are my pain
I'm going mad
I'm going mad
I'm going mad
Aaaayowwww!!!

When I'm alone I'm feeling blue
Dreaming a dream of a world that's lovely and true

Faintly the dream of a true and wonderful world
And no one will care as long as the world will turn

Faintly the dream of a true and wonderful world
And no one will care as long as the world will turn

And I know a place to go to find my peace of mind
And I know a place to find my peace of mind

And I try
And I try
And I try

Give your money, oh

Obligator came and said to me
Why don't you pay your debt
The debt that you amend
Asking him forgive on his demand
For I am with a mate
Despite in her return
Remittance of the debt

He told me and he capped
Quite time on his demand

Imaginations came into my brain
Cause if you patients came
That brings me in my break

Bloody money when it's lent
Scum repair everywhere
They want money, oh

Go ...

Sunday's gone
Months're gone
Some learn they're there
Lonesome crow
Where are they from
Where are their thoughts

No, nobody knows
Or even thought
Please follow them
Will surely be said
Ooooow!

Aaaah Ahahahah Ahahahah Ahahahah Ahahahah Haaaah

No, nobody knows
Or even thought
Please follow them
Will surely be said

Well, I've stuck out in your street
And I'm looking for some kind of halo
When somebody says to me, boy
She's too young to know

*Well, I didn't make your time
I never said you were mine
Don't you think you show
I guess I'll have to teach you how to roll

Met you outside school
When sure no one was looking
And your teacher looks at me
All his envy growing

*Repeat

I said, take it easy baby
You sure know what's showing
And I can't help myself
Without your friends all knowing

*Repeat x2

You got a long, long way to go

Standing by the roadside
Future in my hands
Coat I'm wearing's blowing cold
Turn my back to the wind
Winter mist along the coast
City lights closed down
Your empty station there
Freight line cuts the ground
Freight line cuts the ground

*Crystal light shining bright
Shine on down for me
Moon is even passing by
Trying not to see
Like a fool I hit that road
Did my time at sea
Life was only fooling me

Oh despair, it bums my lungs
Find it hard to breathe
The hospital shut their gates
I can't get me no peace
Wicked people stand and scream
Stumble the road
Close my eyes, turn out the lights
Haven't found a dream
Haven't found a dream

*Repeat x2

Doctor doctor, please
Oh, the mess I'm in
Doctor doctor, please oh,
the mess I'm in
She walked up to me
and really stole my heart
And then she started to
take my body apart

*Livin' lovin' I'm on the run
So far away from you
Livin' lovin' I'm on the run
So far away from you

Doctor doctor, please
Oh I'm goin' fast
Doctor doctor, please, oh, I'm goin' fast
It's only just a moment
She's turning paranoid
That's not a situation for a nervous boy

**Doctor doctor, please
Oh, the mess I'm in
Doctor doctor, please oh, the mess I'm in
But you look so angry as
I crawled across your floor
She's got the strength,
and I can't take any more


*repeat
**repeat

Going through pages and looking down lines and lines
Space of your life is only passing you by

Space child ages as he turns and faces the lie
Then after laughter was caught in his throat as he died

Fly on homeward

Worlds spinning by brings clouds in your eye tonight
The space of your life is only passing you by

Seventeen a nature's queen, know what I mean
Twenty one, a long one,
and you can see the numbers run
Now you look so peaceful, lyin' there asleep
With the wings of god above you
Before the spirits meet
--Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
* Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom

Shadow work is closin' in above the lamps in your street
Lucifer goes walkin' down free to meet
Minutes pass so slowly by the, hands on your clock
Heaven don't open when you knock
* Repeat

With all darkness closin' in
Will the light reveal your soul
one sweet kiss on your clay cold lips
Ill know sleep you'll never know
Where do we go, where do we go
Where do we go from here

* Repeat
* Repeat

Well, I'm struttin' up and down
Tryin' to get my face in town
Wonderin' the hang where
To turn each time around
Look in your mirror just to see my face
Two way time, baby, it's no disgrace
Oh my, how the times have changed
Oh my, how the times have changed

Ladies used to dancin' but I move for real
Lookin' for reaction, something you can feel
When ya dance,
I move and they look me in the eye
Two way time, baby, it's no lie
Oh my, how the times have changed
Oh my, how the times have changed

Oh my, how the times have changed
Oh my, how the times have changed

Oh my, how the times have changed
Oh my, how the times have changed

-long, long year I've sat in this place
Baby, baby, what's good I've had
When you don't know where I wanna go
Find a reason love's left me cold

I've got it, time on my hands
Been drinkin' with the sailor boy
Been tryin' hard to understand
Lines here in my hand

Left me hopin' the wild thoughts I had
My lost feelin' made me so sad
Tried so hard, the smile on my face
Can't get it back a gain, back home with you

* repeat

Some folk built like this, some folk built like that
But the way I'm built, you shouldn't call me fat
Because I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed
But I got everything all the good girls need

I don't have no diamond, and I don't have no gold
But I've got a lot of lovin' and I want you to know
That I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed
But I got everything all the good girls need

Some folk built like this, some folk built like that
But the way I'm built, you shouldn't call me fat
Because I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed
But I got everything all the good girls need

Some folk rip and roar, some folk b'lieve in signs
But if you want me, you got to take your time
Because I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed
But I got everything all the good girls need

But I got everything all the good girls need
I ... I love you baby
I ... I love you baby
But I got everything all of the good girls need

And I don't got no diamonds, don't have no gold
Got a lot of lovin' to satisfy your soul
I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed
But I got everything all the good girls need

Heaven knows why I'm left here in this place
With the sun up in my eyes
Symbols of the morning comin' on
With the love that's got too strong to hold
If I'd been so much wiser then
I would have known which path to choose
Heaven help the lucky one
Heaven help you

Heard the news come on the radio
About the loves and the flame
I'd already heard before

Baby, two years ago

Say it's too hard to return
Now it seemed just like a dream
I saw and already seen it
On my tv screen

Now I could see all these conflicts goin' on
Don't you think you could show some thanks
I just might give you a standin' ovation
When I'm here and gone

Runnin backwards on a stormy ride
Disillusion in your wake
Overload - it's time to run and hide
Burn your virtue on a stake

Relyin on everyone to break your fall
Is gonna leave you alone at the end of it all

You're life's an illusion - Your headed out to sea
You're wading through quicksand - it's getting hard to breathe
Alone in your silence - it's time to take control
Your life's an illusion - so step up and save your soul

You laid you hopes out on an empty beach
But the tide come in

In my younger days we used to rock all night
We all had that music in our soul
Hangin up in Saphire, or off Old Baldy Road
That's where all us knuckleheads would go

Bangin to that cold steel on into the night
That's just the way we had to go
And still I..

I'm a rock n' roll believer
That's what I say
Just a rock n' roll believer
It's the only way

Always been a rocker - rebel tried n' true
Grew up with music in my veins
Whailin' on them drum heads non-stop every day
Musta drove that neighborhood insane

And even though rock music of today just ain't the same
I'll always be there for the show
Yeah!

I'm a rock n' roll believer
That's what I say
Just a rock n' roll believer
It's the only way

Whenever I recall those reckless days gone by
All of those songs we used to play
Makes me wanna jump back and do it all again
Nothin ever gonna take that thirst away

I'll always keep on rockin n' a-rollin 'till I'm gone
That's just the way I've got to go
Yeah!

I'm a rock n' roll believer
That's what I say
Just a rock n' roll believer
It's the only way

I'm a rock n' roll believer
That's what I say
Just a rock n' roll believer
It's the only way

I'm a rock n' roll
I'm a rock n' roll
I'm a rock n' roll believer!

Ooo little tricky mama
Yeah - you got a lot to say
And the way you do that dance - aah
Gonna take my blues away

Oh babe
What you lookin for?

You got a - nasty reputation, now
Seems you been down before

Well if you want a love
That's gonna last more than a day
You better get up out your dancin shoes
And change your shifty ways

Like a weathervane turnin when the wind is right
You're gonna keep on spinnin till you see the light
I'll see you comin back for more tonight
It's any way the wind blows

You keep up the talkin but you're sight unseen
I gotta catch all your doubletalkin in between
One day you're gonna have to end your game
You're just any way the wind blows

Ooo little wayward woman
Yeah - Gonna waste all my time
You're tryin'a get that groove on
Think it make everything alright

Oh babe
Why you stalkin me?

You got a - nasty reputation, doll
Don't put your mojo on me!

Well if you want a love
That's gonna last more than a day
You better get up out your dancin shoes
And change your shifty ways
Like a weathervane turnin when the wind is right

You're gonna keep on spinnin till you see the light
I'll see you comin back for more tonight
It's any way the wind blows
You keep up the talkin' but you're sight unseen
I gotta catch all your doubletalkin in between
One day you're gonna have to end your game
You're just any way the wind blows

In the warmth of the dawn
We made it so far
Thought this was forever
But the cold has come
And the pain is so strong
Why you leavin' this way?

Promises frozen in time

Is it over now?
You know I tried so hard
I believe in our love!
Is it over now?
I'm down on on my knees babe
It's all I can do
This heart belongs to you

I know you're sailing on
It's all too much to bear
When I can't feel your love
Is the feeling gone?
Have we been here too long?
Oh won't you tell me now
Promises frozen in time

Is it over now?
You know I tried so hard
I believe in our love!
Is it over now?
I'm down on on my knees babe
It's all I can do
This heart belongs to you

I've loved you for so long
We made it too far
To waste it all
I'll keep on holding out
My love will never fade
Why you leaving this way?
Promises frozen in time

Is it over now?
You know I tried so hard
I believe in our love!
Is it over now?
I'm down on on my knees babe
It's all I can do

Is it over now?
You know I tried so hard
I believe in our love!
Is it over now?
I'm down on on my knees babe
It's all I can do

We see the rising forces
Zealots gone awry
Ill fated fools and deceivers
With murder in their eyes

There's no surrender!
Ooo - you know we gotta stop it now

One world
We're gonna make it through
One love
Only way we're gonna see it through
One heart
You know we gotta find our way
One world
Only thing that's gonna save the day

Impending darkness warning
It's written on the sky
Stone-hearted sultans and schemers
Indoctrinate the lie

There's no surrender!
Ooo - you know we gotta stop it now

One world
We're gonna make it through
One heart
Only way we're gonna see it through
One love
You know we gotta find our way
One world
Only thing that's gonna save the day

The charge of virtue calling
Exterminate the swine
This time of conscience befalls us
It's here we draw the line

There's no surrender!
Ooo - you know we gotta stop it now

One world
We're gonna make it through
One love
Only way we're gonna see it through
One heart
You know we gotta find our way
One world
Only thing that's gonna save the day

One world
We're gonna make it through
One love
Only way we're gonna see it through
One heart
You know we gotta find our way
One world
Only thing that's gonna save the day
