01. Death Alley Driver

Rough and ready rider
In a super sonic sound machine
Rock and roll survivor
Chrome pipes between your knees
Running all the red lites
Riding the white lines
Your gonna make a dead stop
But you just can't see the signs
Oh - you'll never win the race
But you can't give up the chase.

Death alley driver
Livin' at high speed
Death alley driver... Yeah
Death alley driver... who knows what you need
Death Alley Driver...

One hundred twenty five smokin on the turns
Always on the hit and run
But you never learn...
Running from the man... and you're running
From yourself
Another dirty angel heading straight to hell
Oh - you'll never win the race...
But you won't give up the chase...
Death Alley Driver...
Life in overdrive... Death Alley Driver.. yeah
Death Alley Driver... ride to stay alive
Death Alley Driver... let's go

Red lights in the mirror
Danger on the band...
Got to take a detour cause a road block's up ahead
He takes you on the corner with a wave of his hand
Death is in the back seat of a big old black sedan
Oh - you'll never win the race...
As you turn and see his face...
Death alley Driver...
Movin' for the kill
Death alley Driver... yeah
Death alley Driver...
Time is standing still...
Death alley Driver...
Always on the run cause you're a ...
Death alley Driver
Love the way it feels...
Death alley Driver... yeah
Death Alley Driver
Hell on wheels...
Death alley Driver... ooh

02. Stone Cold

Every night I have the same old dream
'bout you and me and what's in between
So many changes, so many lies
Try to run, try to hick
From everything that I feel inside
But I can't escape you, or your frozen eyes...
Searching in the darkness
Fading out of sight
Love was here and gone like a thief in the night...
Stone cold...
And I knew you so well
Stone cold
Can't break away from your spell

Another dark and empty night
It was wrong I wanna make it night
But you are so distant, so far away
Your words like ice fall on the ground
breaking the silence without a sound
Oh familiar strangers, with nothing to say
Searching in the darkness
Fading out of sight
Love was here and gone like a thief in the night
Stone cold...
And I thought I knew you so well...
Stone cold...
I can't break away from your spell...
You leave me Stone Cold

Searching in the darkness
Fading out of sight
Love was here and like a thief in the night
Stone cold...
And I thought I knew you so well
You stone Cold... yeah
I can't break away from your spell
You stone Cold... baby
I thought I knew you so well
You're stone cold... Ice cold...
Can't break away from your spell
(You put me in the deep freeze)
(Oh baby don't you leave me)
(Stone... Cold, your leavin' me cold)
Stone cold... I thought I knew you so well
Stone cold... Can't break away from your spell

03. Bring On The Night

I was taking a chance on a tight-rope
Walking the line to the end
I was ready to fall, had my back to the wall
But I'm flying again...
I been shifting my gears, I been moving
Cause they wanted me dead or alive
But I'm making a break and I want you to take a ride
Take a ride --
Bring on the night
Into the shadows and out of the light
Bring on the night...
Let the Dream Chaser take you away

When the sun hits another horizon...
And the joker has started to deal...
You can quit if you choose but there's nothing to lose
By a spin of the wheel
Gotta burn all your bridges behind you, they'll keep dragging
You down if you stay...
And I know I ain't wrong cause I'm free and I'm on my way
Bring on the night
Into the shadows and out of the light
Bring on the night
Let the Dream Chaser take you away

I live on the edge of tomorrow
I'm racing along on the wind
I can see what I need, you better believe
I'm playin' to win
I got nothin' to fear when I'm flyin'
Cause yesterday over and gone
And there's nothin' I can do... so I gotta keep movin' on...
Movin' on --
Movin' on --
Bring on the night
Into the shadows and out of the light...
Bring on the night...
Let the Dream Chaser take you away... take you away
Bring on the night
" Dream Chaser "

04. Power

Everybody's sayin' that the times are gettin' rough
You gotta stay loose baby and you gotta be tough... oh
I get knocked down... get right back up again
Cause I never give up and I never give in...
Oh - so strong...
Got the power when I turn it on
Yeah - I'm gonna get my fill
Nothin's gonna stop me now and nothin' ever will
I got the... power
I got the power
I feel the power...
And don't forget it

More some, break some ain't no big surprise
They're gonna wheel ya, deal ya, tell ya all the lies... (realize)
But I'm a hot shot, shoot em down let em be (that's me)
Cause I got nothin' for nothin' and nothin's ever free... no
Oh - so strong
All I gotta do is turn it on
Yeah - I'm gonna get my fill
Nothin's gonna stop me now and nothin' ever will
I got the power
Oh, I got the power
I can feel the power
I got the power
Yeah yeah yeah... turn it on

I can take anything that gets in my way
I don't worry 'bout tomorrow I just live for today...
Oh - so strong
Got the feeling when I turn it on
Yeah - I'm gonna get my fill
Nothin's gonna stop me now and nothin' ever will
I got the power
I can feel the power power
I can feel the power...
Turn it on...
Power (can you feel it)

(You can turn it on, turn it on, switch it on behind)
(Super charged... I can feel the power)

06. Tite Squeeze

I ain't lyin' to you baby... I hope you don't refuse
But I'm red hot... Ready or not... to give my love to you
I don't have forever, but I got tonight
The look in your eye said you'll give it a try...
I know the moment's right
Ooh -- give it to me... you got everything I need
Ooh -- do it to me... Bring me to my knees...
When you gimme that Tite Squeeze...
Baby, baby please...
Gimme that Tite Squeeze...

When you start to touch me... I can't believe it's real
You make it hard for me to take, I love the way you feel
I'm hungry for you baby, I just can't get enough...
If it's alright I'll take bite, I'll taste your love
Ooh - give it to me... you got everything I need
Ooh - do it to me... bring me to my knees...
When you gimme that Tite Squeeze -
Gimme the tite squeeze - yeah
Rock me in your cradle, roll me like the dice
Do it to me and I'll do it to you, do it till we do it right
Don't tell me that you love me, when you walk out the door
Cause I'll hold you down, turn you around, I'll come back for more
Ooh - give it to me... you got everything I need
Ooh - do it to me... bring me to my knees...
When you gimme that Tite, Tite, Tite yeah...
Gimme that Tite Squeeze, ooh baby, gimme that Tite squeeze

07. Tearin' Out My Heart

First time I saw your face
By your side was the only place
That I would wanna be
Sometimes and I don't know why
Love can come or it can pass you by
Now you take all the love you gave to me
(You take it from me)
You're tearin' out my heart
Oh -

Never thought I'd see the day
You would throw my love away
And oh... it's killing me
One thing you'll never know
How it hurts to let you go...
As you turn and walk away from me...
(Walk away)
You're tearin' out me heart
Feel like I been ripped apart
You're tearin' out my heart...

Daybreaks, I try to be free
But your memory is haunting me
Oh - there's nothing I can do
All alone in the candlelight
I see your face again tonight
And I feel all the emptiness without you
(Without you) tearin' out my heart
Oh, I feel like I been ripped apart
Tearin' out my heart...
Whoa... my heart

08. Eyes Of Fire

Hungry and wild she was born to the night
A demon, a daughter of madness
One look from her eyes could burn you alive...
Drown you in oceans of sadness
Oh - even the deadly shades of night
Won't let me hide... from her eyes of fire

Face in the mirror we meet eye to eye
Passions of eternal fire
Desperately wanting and out of control
Dancing on winds of desire
Oh - even the deadly shades of night
Won't let me hide... from her eyes of fire

Curtain of darkness, screams of delight
Tounts me with her sirens calling...
I got to be strong but I can't hang on
Into the flames I am falling...
Oh - even the deadly shades of night
Won't let me hide (no, no, no, no)
From her eyes of fire...

She keeps burning...
She keeps burning me, burning me, burning
Me, burning me down
Eyes of fire
Oh no

09. Miss Mistreated

I know you been runnin' around
I know what you been sayin'
I treat you wrong, keep lettin' you down
I'm not giving what I'm taking
So hurt... Deep inside
You say there's nothin' to it
But my eyes are open wide
And I don't know why you do it
You say I cheated, you say that I lied
People tell ya I'm taking you for a ride
Oh but baby they lied...
Give you my love, I'll give you all of my time
Just to keep you satisfied
It's never enough until it's over the line
So you're livin' on the wild side
Undercover lovers late at night
Won't take the pain away...
Two wrongs don't make a right
But you wanna make me pay
I know, love can be real
You're not the only one whose got a bad deal
I know just how you feel, oh yeah
Miss Mistreated... whose mistreatin' who...
You think it's me... I think it's you... yes I do
Miss Mistreated... [x4 times]

I wanna know... love can be real
You're not the only one whose got a bad deal
I know how you feel... ooh
Miss Mistreated... whose mistreatin' who...
You think it's me... I think it's you...
Yes I do

Miss mistreated...
Miss mistreated... so wrong
Miss mistreated...
Miss mistreated...
I never meant to hurt you baby
Miss mistreated...
I never meant to hurt you baby
Miss mistreated...

10. Rock Fever

Lookin' like little miss lonely
Standin' in her ruby red shoes
Tellin' me she loves me only
Ever if it ain't true...
Ooh you... drippin' with desire
Skintight, dynamite
Fever takes me higher

[Chorus:]
Lemme see ya rock
Lemme see ya roll
Lemme see ya burn
Rock fever...

[Chorus:]
Yeah, gonna give it to you tonight (rock fever)

I can feel your blood run hot
Burnin' with a fire
Gimme everything you got
Right down to the wire
Ooh - temperature is risin'
Ain't no use I'm breakin' loose
I ain't gonna fight it

[Chorus:]

Come on, let me give you a shot...

44 calibre rock and roll
Fever deep inside her
Hits me straight between the eyes
When she open's fire...
Ooh... you
Drippin' with desire
Skin tight, you're dynamite
I can't get much higher

[Chorus: x3 times]
