When it's kill or be killed baby
I sometimes wish we ate our young If fear was clear, then just maybe All your sweet dreams will make you strong Babe, you need some help Babe, not by yourself no Hey, a plea for mercy Hey, your winter's here to stay Dig a hole, dig it deep Bury yourself alive Say a prayer, say one for me Then kiss your ass goodbye All out of time, your luck's on empty Your pain if flows like falling rain It's never ending Your faith comes from the damage done Never ever thought you did no wrong It seems so strange that you're complaining You say, you have a vision But hey, you lack conviction you know You think you're on a mission from God But look at your condition you know Dig a hole, dig it deep Bury yourself alive Say a prayer, say one for me Then kiss your ass goodbye Dig a hole, how do you sleep Holding your fears inside Say a prayer, say one for me Then kiss your ass goodbye Dig a hole, dig it deep Bury yourself alive Say a prayer, say one for me Then kiss your ass bye-bye Dig a hole, how do you sleep Holding your fears inside Say a prayer, say one for me Then kiss your ass goodbye No more fears - No more lying It's so clear -- He more crying No more fears He more lying All your fears keep on trying Keep on trying No use, no use, no use crying Oh! 02. Pretty Pack O' Lies Music & lyrics by Ron Day
I don't think I'll hang around here
Maybe I could Flying so high, no landing gear Don't do nobody good You slide around this sleazy town Nose pressed to the sky high You slide around this funky town Thinking you'll never die Lies, Lies! It's all a pretty pack of lies And when you're falling down Watch out as you hit the ground Lies, Lies! It's all a pretty pack of lies And when you're falling down Watch out as you hit the ground I don't think I stand a chance of Watching you grow old Pin cushion Lucy she died And the ice is flowing cold You fly around this rocket town Way high late at night, high, high, high, high You slide around this funky town Ain't never gonna die, die, die Lies, Lies! It's all a pretty pack of lies And when you're falling down Watch out as you hit the ground Lies, Lies! It's all a pretty pack of lies And when you're falling down Watch out as you hit the ground Head down as you hit the ground Head down as you hit the ground I know, I know you try some live and some will die I know love will find a way when it comes to you another day I know I know you'll see when it brings you to your knees I hope, I hope you see it's all lies I said Lies, Lies! It's all a pretty pack of lies And when you're falling down Watch out as you hit the ground Lies, Lies! It's all a pretty pack of lies And when you're falling down Watch out It's all lies! It's all lies! It's all lies! It's all lies Lies a pretty pack of lies yeah 03. All Day And All Of The Night Music & lyrics by Ray Davies

Whatever It Takes Music & lyrics by Carlos Cavazo / Kevin DuBrow / Frankie Banali
Dancing on a tightrope
Walking with the moonshine Sneaking up the wrong road Making up an alibi Clawing, scraping, living ain't easy Looking for a friend Dancing madly backwards and forwards Searching for the bend Keep on rollin', let it flow Got a feelin' I want you to know Rock the river, shake the lake We're gonna do whatever it takes Making no apologies Out of mediocrity I'm feelin' like a dynamo With no particular place to go Good times, bad times, nothing can stop me Got the will to survive Get up, stand up, won't be afraid of All the fear that's inside So keep on rollin', let it flow Got a feelin' I want you to know Rock the river, shake the lake We're gonna do whatever it takes In the corner, holding court There's a fever we all sport Rock the river, shake the lake We're gonna do whatever it takes Whatever it takes Clawing, scraping, living ain't easy Looking for a friend Dancing madly backwards and forwards Stop! Keep on rollin', let it flow Got a feelin' I want you to know Rock the river, shake the lake We're gonna do whatever it takes In the corner, holding court There's a fever we all sport Rock the river, shake the lake We're gonna do whatever it takes Rock the river, shake the lake We're gonna do Nothing to lose every days Think I want Shake for me Baby, Mamamamamamama Living in the fantasy In the all 05. Wings Of A Cloud Music & lyrics by Carlos Cavazo / Kevin DuBrow / Frankie Banali
Flying far from the scene of the crime now
Nothing more that I want to be part of Gonna break the chains that been holding me down Gonna spread my wings and I'll fly now Gonna set my sights on the velvet moon I can hear my train is a comin' I can feel my blood is a boilin' I see my fate on the wings of a cloud Wings of a cloud Wings of a cloud Wings of a cloud You can keep your vision of a perfect world It's just a matter of time, it's gonna crash and burn Shooting stars are gonna be my only friends In the wink of an eye I'll be gone now Gonna get it right and none too soon I can hear my train is a comin' I can feel my blood is a boilin' I see my fate on the wings of a cloud Wings of a cloud On the wings of a cloud Wings of a cloud, gonna get you Gonna break the chains that been holding me down Gonna spread my wings and I'll fly now Gonna set my sights on the velvet moon I can hear my train is a comin' I can feel my blood is a boilin' I see my fate on the wings of a cloud Wings of a cloud On the wings of a cloud Wings of a cloud I'm gonna get forever in sight Gonna hold my soul up to the light I can ride the wind On the wings of a cloud Here I come baby! Oh babe, think On the wings, on the wings 06. Trouble Again Music & lyrics by Carlos Cavazo / Kevin DuBrow / Frankie Banali / Bobby Rondinelli
I hear a black cat moaning
In the middle of the night Like a smoke stack lightning That's burning bright I went down to the crossroads Where I met a man He said: I'll show you the way If you take my hand I ain't superstitious, but maybe I should I'd cast a spell on you if I could, if I could Oh no, here it comes Looks like I'm in trouble again Bad luck ain't heaven sent Looks like I'm in trouble, trouble again Standing in the shadows In the middle of the night Knee deep in quicksand It's getting really tight I got a voodoo woman Down Louisiana way She said: The devil gonna find you Nothing you can do, better get on your way You're on the wrong road at the right time There's a bad moon on the rise, on the rise Oh no, here it comes Looks like I'm in trouble again Bad luck ain't heaven sent Looks like I'm in trouble again Oh no, here it comes Looks like I'm in trouble again Bad luck ain't heaven sent Looks like I'm in trouble, trouble again I'm in trouble, trouble again I don't know when I'll be back again oh no Bad luck follows, it never ends The winding road can't take me home Oh no, here it comes Looks like I'm in trouble again Bad luck ain't heaven sent Yea get in trouble again They find do They find don't Looks like I'm in trouble again Look out It's way a goes Looks like I'm in trouble again Voodoo ahead, witchcraft behind Looks like me and trouble are two of a kind The die is cast, I can't break the mold Trouble's gonna follow me wherever, wherever I go 07. Voodoo Brew Music & lyrics by Carlos Cavazo / Kevin DuBrow / Frankie Banali
Let me tell you a story, not gonna take too long
Just sit on down and listen under the sun Papa, he was a drinking man, Mama wasn't very strong He liked whiskey and women, drank all night long, all night long That night he had a nasty feeling, if he stayed in town too long The life that he'd been leading takes him down to the bone The moon was full around midnight, the sheriff took my Papa down, down, down His luck had finally run out and laid him to the ground, yes it did It's me they blamed for the killing They knew I owned the smoking gun No alibi can satisfy, I fear it's hanging time, no It's time to start 'a running and cross the county line I hear the 9:15 'a rolling down track number nine, rolling on Hear my train a coming The hounds of doom come a howling The bayou's trying to slow me down, down, down Better keep on moving, stay low to the ground I'm gonna start all over with no misery and no pain, no But if they track me down, I'll be down to the bone But if they take my life, I'll be down to the bone Down to the bone, midnight hour If they take my life, I'll be down to the bone 08. Down To The Bone Music & lyrics by Carlos Cavazo / Kevin DuBrow / Frankie Banali
Baby walks, baby talks
Baby got them voodoo thoughts Baby pants, baby chants Baby does the back street dance She swoons in the moonlight She screams in the sunlight You got voodoo - Voodoo Brew You got voodoo - Voodoo Brew Mojo moves, cajun grooves Cast a spell with magic brews Sleep the day, pump the night Get the girs-gris, do it right It right, oh yeah, oh right She crawls like a king snake She howls like a wolf gang She gives as much as she takes Sort of pulls but she won't break You got voodoo - Voodoo Brew I want voodoo - Voodoo Brew You got voodoo - Voodoo Brew I want voodoo - Voodoo Brew Baby walks, baby talks Baby got them voodoo thoughts Baby pants, baby chants She does the back street dance Oh mine, oh yeah, oh precious baby I want voodoo - Voodoo Brew I want voodoo - Voodoo Brew 09. Monday Morning Breakdown Music & lyrics by Carlos Cavazo / Kevin DuBrow / Frankie Banali
In the darkness your heart is breaking with no one there
There's a sadness, you shed a tear but no one cares Keep on running from the shattered dreams you can't repair Look for comfort, your empty life's so hard to bear In the middle of the night when you think you can't go on Can't you take it In a broken state of mind, will you make it When the waves of loneliness rush to tear your life apart Will they drown you Is it freedom that you want Take me away, Monday morning breakdown You can't escape, early warning cry At the crossroads, the breaking point it all too near In your madness, the road to nowhere seems so clear If every single day brings you closer to the edge Look around you Get out if you can, do you want to It's a matter of time and you're gonna draw the line That surrounds you When you're out on a limb, hold on Take me away, Monday morning breakdown It's here to stay, early warning cry You can't escape, that Monday morning breakdown Come on Take me You can't change the world, you can't change the past You can't change your mind, so this one's got to last In the middle of the night when you think you can't go on Can't you take it In a broken state of mind, will you make it When the waves of loneliness rush to tear your life apart Will they drown you Gotta get out! Gotta get out! Take me away, Monday morning breakdown Early warning cry You can't escape, that Monday morning breakdown 10.

All Wound Up Music & lyrics by Carlos Cavazo / Kevin DuBrow / Frankie Banali
Whoa! Whoa! Tied up and twisted
When trust turns to rust You only have instinct to count on Passion is fashioned to crash and burn Just when you found some It's like the sound of falling rain Nothing to lose and so much to gain Ecstasy or misery, my destiny what will it be Tied up and twisted - Screamin' in the night Tied up and twisted - The bark that makes you bite Whoa, tied up and twisted! Whoa, tied up and twisted! If sin is the shoe that fits, we're all born to wear it Restrictions create a conflict for souls who can bear it The pressure's getting hard to take Something's got to give or I'm gonna break My purgatory fears, the madness now seems so clear Tied up and twisted - Screamin' in the night Tied up and twisted - The bark that makes you bite Whoa, tied up and twisted! Whoa, tied up and twisted! Ecstasy or misery, my destiny what will it be Demented incentive is my main motivation I walk down a rocky road, there is no salvation Gonna put it in, gonna pull it out Tied up and twisted - Screamin' in the night Tied up and twisted - The bark that makes you bite Whoa! Whoa! Whoa, tied up and twisted! Twisted, twisted, twisted, twisted Yeah got me all time dirty yeah, oh yeah You got me tied up and twisted! 12. Twisted Music & lyrics by Kevin DuBrow / Carlos Cavazo / Frankie Banali / Bob Pavao
Got an active imagination
Just one look, I've got it bad Got a dose of your inspiration Hang 'em high, salute the flag Come on babe, don't I know you Come on girl, lend a hand 'Cos I'm all wound up, down on your knees Losing all your inhibitions Looks to me like heavens gate, all right You can see by my condition Hold on tight, we got it made, made, made Get down, assume the position Look out before I lose control 'Cos I'm all wound up, down on your knees 'Cos I'm all wound up, got what you need Looks to me like we're in business Close the deal, it's time to go - get on home Seems to me by your reaction You must have already loved the show oh no Come on babe, don't I know you Come on girl, lend a hand 'Cos I'm all wound up, down on your knees 'Cos I'm all wound up, got what you need Got what you need look out baby! 'Cos I'm all wound up, 'Cos I'm wound up tight feeling alright Do with, do with, do with right all right 13. Hell Or High Water Music & lyrics by Carlos Cavazo / Kevin DuBrow / Frankie Banali
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
They're out to get you anyway they can It just might hurt you, but then again It's just a token of the extreme Listen, that pain won't gain you nothing Don't turn your back or something Will come back to haunt you Ain't no rule, says you'll be their fool Hell or high water We rebel when we call for I said Hell or high water Don't try too suck me into a trap Don't try to bite my baby cause I bite back What were you thinking, you turn me loose Well, it's mind over matter I don't mind and you don't matter Can't take no prisoners who don't want to be I can't see whose hand it feeds Hell or high water We rebel when we call for I said Hell or high Water down the drain is of no use to me Don't cry over spilt milk, it makes me wanna scream Hell or high water We rebel when we call for I said Hell or high water Nothing's gonna stop me now - No! No! No one's gonna push me around - Alright! Hell or high water Hell or high water 14. Wings Of A Cloud (revisited) Music by Carlos Cavazo / Kevin DuBrow / Frankie Banali
