01. Hands On The Trigger

Without a warning
Out of the blue
Her eyes so hungry
What could I do
She dragged me to the back door
Like a dog on a lead
No kinda resistance
When I spotted the meat

I thought to myself just take what you can
And don't hesitate, I know what it's like
When life gets me down

Hands on the trigger
Come'n'take me higher
Hands on the trigger
And set the sky on fire

Strong desire
And the pourin' rain
No need for talking
Didn't know her name
Then the first sign of morning
And my eyes still blind
Didn't have to see nothing
What I felt was right

I thought to myself just take what you can
And stop asking yourself if it's good or bad
When life treats you right

02. Sweet Perfume

You know you put a spell on me
I'm under your command
Your laughter sets my soul on fire
My heart is in your hands
Your words of passion fool my senses
And echo in my brain
I dream of you and of the things you do
And slowly go insane

I am your prisoner, in a cage of love and lust
Dying for a word from you, longing for your touch

Smells like sweet perfume
I don't know what to do
Smells like sweet perfume
Because I'm hooked on you

I've been down so many times
Feeling lost and lonely
You give me shelter from the cold
You - my one and only
Every breath I take smells of you
Magic's in the air
And I cannot escape the scent
Because it's everywhere

03. Who's Got the Rhythm

Another night in leather, another day in lace
You do it so much better, I got this smilin' face
Your rock gets rolled by money -
Any hearts for sale
Like one foot in heaven 'n' one foot in hell

This world you care for is calling my name
This world you fight for will be turning my way

Who's got the rhythm
To turn water into wine
Who's got the rhythm
Are you so divine

And if the road gets dirty you gonna
Change your shoes
Cuz white is your color and white is your blues
You travel every city, you can fly to the moon
But you can't buy the rhythm -
You're gonna find out soon

Who's got the rhythm
Do you got the rhythm

04. Lovers On The Run

I'm ready to rock
I'm ready to explode
Got the key to your lock
Hear me I'm knocking on your door
I got love to give
Gonna get my little share
I'm gonna teach you what you never knew
And you'll be safe with me tonight

Better keep moving cause now the heat is on
Better keep moving like lovers on the run

I'm ready to roll
I'm ready to confess
That I'd sell my soul
For a look into your eyes
You got love to give
Gonna get your little share
I'm gonna give you what you never had
And I'll be good to you tonight

05. Sally Is Gone

Sally is gone
She packed her bags and hit the road
Just left a note
Saying "Baby, I know
I shouldn't leave this way but I
I gotta go"

She left some pictures and took
He camera and the van
And now I wonder if loving me was just a part
Of her nasty little plan

She came like rain right out of the blue and asked me to
Light her fire
As hot as hell and ringing my bell
She knew I'd fall
For her call

Sally is gone
Guess I knew it all the time
Yet I was blind
Didn't wanna think twice
Head over heels into the pool
Oh, what a fool

She left the dishes, a phone bill, and a broken heart
But if she asked me if I would play this game again
Would go right back to the start

06. The Devil In Me

Oh baby look at me
I'll be your friend tonight
I'm gonna make you smile
I'll never make you cry
You think I'm full of lies
I'm not that kinda man
Cuz' when you're feeling down, down, down
Gonna make you feel alright

When you turn your back on me
Gonna live all my fantasies
Better keep an eye on me
Gonna live all my hidden dreams

It's the devil in me
It's the devil in me

07. Welcome Home Again

Just one step higher
And I reach the stars
Looks like I've made it
I've never been this far
So close to the sun now
Feel it burning on my skin
And it's harder to keep breathing
As the air is getting thin

And I looked up to the sky
Tried to spread my wings and fly
With the first few drops of rain
Heard the demons call my name

Welcome home again
There's no way out of here
Got the power in our hands
Welcome home again
To the land of pain and fear
Where the power's in our hands

Mum always used to say
There's a way out for you, son
So don't you give up
If you can't see it right now
'Cause your life will go on
Keep these words deep in your mind
And you will be able one day
To kill the beast you've got inside

08. Don't Confuse It

Pretty girl in a magazine
Let's spend a little time
A little love, a little fun
That's what I need tonight
C'mon in and turn me on
I'm ready to explode
And when it's done don't steal away
Don't ever let me go

Feels like I'm dying when you're gone
Seems like I'm out here on my own
I'm lost without you

Don't confuse it
Don't confuse sex and love

Money makes the world go round
I wanna make you mine
I'd give you everything you want
Whatever I can buy
This is not a fairy tale
This ain't Hollywood
You can touch me anywhere
But never get my heart

09. I Let The Sun Go Down

When I run into the heat I'm longin' for the cold
When I walk on crowded streets I'd rather be alone
Yes, I know I shouldn't think about the things I had
What can I do, what can I say - this morning things look bad

Could have been a hero
Could have been a star
Now I start from zero
And I won't get far

I let the sun go down
I don't really feel alive
And let the sun go down
While I walk in darkest night

The more I step into the dark
The more I close my eyes
Every step could be my last - should I laugh or cry
We all need a place to stay, but I wonder where
Cuz if pain's a part of life joy must be a part of death

10. Down 'N' Dirty

See an old man
Sitting in the dirt
Two golden badges
On his broken shirt
Looks like he's crying
With the rain on his face
And I feel like running
To get out of this place

I can't tell what I feel
Cause it seems so unreal
I just look and listen to him

Down'n'dirty
With a smile on his face
Down'n'dirty

Well he was born
On the wrong side of town
Guess God was too busy
So he couldn't come round
Moonlight and starshine
And the pale blue light
His only companions
In the chill of the night

11. I Do It My Way

I was out on my own
Somewhere down in no man's land
Didn't know where to go
Guided by a stranger's hand

Now I'm wide awake
I open my eyes
I am learnin'
Turn my face to the sun
That's shining for me
Believe in myself on and on

I do it my way
Travel the world
I do it my way
My voice will be heard
I do it my way
Discover myself
Forever I'll try, till the end of my days
On my way

As the struggling goes on
Dreams become so hard to keep
But I'm still holding on
Knowing it's all up to me

I don't need your advice
Don't need your command
I keep learnin'
Find my way to the land
Where I'll be king
Where I will be dreaming again
