Tracks



01. Without Warning

Music & lyrics by George Lynch
[Instrumental]

02. Tooth And Nail

Music by Mick Brown, George Lynch, Jeff Pilson
Lyrics by George Lynch, Jeff Pilson
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 trough 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

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

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

03. Just Got Lucky

Music & lyrics by George Lynch, Jeff Pilson
I should've known better
Should've seen right through
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

04. Heartless Heart

Music by Mick Brown, George Lynch, Jeff Pilson
Lyrics by George Lynch, Jeff Pilson
Every night is the same old thing
Baby I tried, yeah I tried
Let's put an end to this misery
Baby I cried, yeah I cried

So hot - stone cold, why'd you let me go

You got a heartless heart
Got a heart of stone
You got a heartless heart
And it's just gonna bring you down

You tell me things that I know ain't true
Baby you lied, yeah you lied
I just wanted to be with you
Baby I tried, yeah I tried

You got a heartless heart of stone
It's bringing me down- baby
You had to play the only game you've known
With my heart- with my heart- oh

Every night is the same old thing
Baby I tried, yeah I tried
Let's put an end to this misery
Baby I cried, yeah I cried

05. Don't Close Your Eyes

Music & lyrics by Don Dokken, George Lynch, Jeff Pilson
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

06. When Heaven Comes Down

Music by Mick Brown, George Lynch, Jeff Pilson
Lyrics by George Lynch, Jeff Pilson
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

07. Into The Fire

Music & lyrics by Don Dokken, George Lynch, Jeff Pilson
You weave your spell
Your eyes 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 back
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

08. Bullets To Spare

Music & lyrics by Don Dokken, George Lynch, Jeff Pilson, Mick Brown
The shootin's over
The smoke is clear
Another notch in my gun
Another round of ammunition
Before the damage is done

She wanted this
I gave her that
She said she will
I took good aim
She felt no pain
When I started moving in for the kill

Cause I've got bullets
Bullets to spare
I've got bullets- bullets to spare

My barrel's ready
My hand is steady
Tonight I'm ready for fun
I got my finger
It's on the trigger
Another night on the run

She wanted this
I gave her that
She said she will
I took good aim
She felt no pain
When I started moving in for the kill

Cause I've got bullets
Bullets to spare
I've got bullets- bullets to spare

09. Alone Again

Music & lyrics by Don Dokken, Jeff Pilson
I'd like to see you in the morning light
I like to feel you when it comes to night
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

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

I 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

10. Turn On The Action

Music & lyrics by Mick Brown, George Lynch, Jeff 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 through 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
