Tracks



01. Drive It In

Music & lyrics by Fernando von Arb, Chris von Rohr, Marc Storace
Red lights town is in full swing
Hold tight almost anything
The band is playing Rock 'n Roll
Stripper slidin' up and down the pole

I walked to the doll with the red dress and said
Come on let's drive it in, drive it in

Moonshot beast is on the loose
Straight cut blow away my blues
A little bit of lovin' let it go
Hallelujah, free your dying soul, yeah

I walked to the woman with the black dress and said
Come on let's drive it in, drive it in
Drive it in, drive it in

Passion lady took my breath away
She said love it baby come out and play
Tattooed body tight leather 'n' lace
Said I could have it all over at her place

Hitched with the mama with no dress and say
Come on let's drive it in, drive it in
Drive it in, you gotta drive it in

Drive it in, baby, drive it in
Drive it in, oh, drive it in
Come on drive it
Keep on drive it

Guilty, face believe baby
Drive it in baby
Drive it in baby

02. Hoodoo Woman

Music & lyrics by von Arb, von Rohr, Storace, Hanno Pinter, Alexander Zoppel
She blessed all dirty water
On a stormy full moon night
She walked through sand and fire
Never caught in a fight

He got that rattlesnake fever
Red dust on his boots
Demons and fallen angels
Got the black spider blues

Mamma was a hoodoo woman
Papa was a hoodoo man
Mamma was a hoodoo woman
Papa, was a hoodoo man

She's drivin' hard that Chevy trail
Burnin' on both ends
She rocks the town of New Orleans
With her gypsy blend

A mean shootdown in Ed's Saloon
Spirits join the sky
The undertaker said "I'll never forget
The day, the whole town cried."

03. Born To Be Wild

Music & lyrics by Mars Bonfire
Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way

Yeah darlin', go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racin' with the wind
And the feelin' that I'm under

Yeah darlin', go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die

Born to be wild
Born to be wild

04. Rock N' Roll Handshake

Music & lyrics by Fernando von Arb, Chris von Rohr, Marc Storace
We've been around for so long
Losing ground but getting strong
We've seen it coming, we've seen it go
So come on loosen up, break away
Hey, hey, hey

Gimme a rock 'n' roll handshake
Set your spirit free
Gimme a rock 'n' roll handshake
Turn around, slap one on me

Breaking the fight with an old song
Making it right 'cause it was wrong
Cover my back and I'll cover yours
So come on shake it up, break away
Hey, hey, hey

Gimme a rock 'n' roll handshake
Set your spirit free
Gimme a rock 'n' roll handshake
Turn around, slap one on me

One for all and all for one
Life is short to jump the gun
So come on crank it up, break away
Hey, hey, hey

Gimme a rock 'n' roll handshake
Set your spirit free
Gimme a rock 'n' roll handshake
Slap one on me

Gimme a rock 'n' roll handshake
Set your spirit free
Gimme a rock 'n' roll handshake
Turn around, slap one on me

05. Ride Into The Sun

Music & lyrics by von Arb, von Rohr, Storace, Mark Kohler
He come across the mountains
He sailed across the sea
Looking for adventure
Riding with the free

No stone was left unturned
No forest unexplored
And villages he burned
In his quest for more

We ride into the sun
When dust is comin' down

Got mental revolution
Sacred fantasy
Voodoo evolution
Cannibal reality

The future holds no pity
Warriors shed no tears
Broken hearts in the city
True love is killed by fear

We ride into the sun
When dust is comin' down
We ride into the sun
The smoke is comin' round

We ride into the sun
When dust is comin' down
We ride into the sun
Desperadoes on the run

06. Too Hot

Music & lyrics by Fernando von Arb, Chris von Rohr, Marc Storace
One life, one love
Gettin' ready to ride
New name, new place
And the feelin' is right

She takes care of the man in me
Ooh yeah, sets the bad boy free
Don't understand the way live
Knows when to take and knows when to give

Too hot, too hot to handle
Lay me down right now
Too hot, love is a gamble
Don't stop let it out

One head, one heart
Sweet child is born
New shoes, new face
And the passion is strong

Workin' hard it's tough on the street
Her love gets me back on my feet
The flame is high she feeds the fire
Nothin' can stop my burnin' desire

Too hot, too hot to handle
Lay me down right now
Too hot, love is a gamble
Don't stop let it out
Let it out, let it out, right now

Too hot, too hot to handle
Too hot, too hot to handle
Too hot, too hot to handle
Too hot, too hot to handle

Too hot, too hot to handle
Lay me down right now
Too hot, love is a gamble
Don't stop let it out

Too hot, too hot to handle
Lay me down right now
Too hot, love is a gamble
Don't stop let it out
Let it out, let it out, right now

07. In My Blood

Music & lyrics by Fernando von Arb, Chris von Rohr, Marc Storace
She kisses like the devil
Talkin' like a nun
She holds me like an angel
Hits me like a gun

I feel the rollin' thunder
Down on me
But the love she gives
Just sets me free

Hey, hey, hey, hey
You got it
Hey, hey, hey, hey
I need it

She's in my blood, in my blood
Under my skin
She's in my blood, in my blood
Under my skin

They tell me she mean trouble
I can't resist
My heart beats double
I taste her lips

Backstreet rhythm
She comes on strong
Such a merciless lover
She bangs the gong

Hey, hey, hey, hey
You got it
Hey, hey, hey, hey
I need it

She's in my blood, in my blood
Under my skin
She's in my blood, in my blood
Under my skin

She's in my blood, in my blood
So help me gone
Mama

She's in my blood, in my blood
Under my skin
She's in my blood, in my blood
Under my skin

She's in my blood, Yes she is
Under my skin
She's in my blood, in my blood
Under my skin

She's in my blood, in my blood
Under my skin

08. Dirty Street

Music & lyrics by Fernando von Arb, Chris von Rohr, Marc Storace
Blame it on the street
I gotta get some lovin' tonight
Lay it down on me honey
This girl is outta sight

One night stand, travellin' with the band
Passion in a motel room
A magic touch, never too much
Then she blows me right over the moon

I'm goin' down
Down on dirty street
I'm goin' down
Down on dirty street

Hangin' at the bar
Slippin' on a hurricane
Said bye, bye Lucy
You're drivin' me insane

Lady of the night, don't give up the fight
The band is gettin' ready to roll
Devil in my heart, tearin' me apart
My misery is hard to control

I'm goin' down
Down on dirty street
I'm goin' down
Down on dirty street

I'm goin' down
Down on dirty street
I'm goin' down
Down on dirty street

I'm goin' down
Down on dirty street
I'm goin' down
Down on dirty street

Dirty street, all alone
On my own
I'm so lonely of love
Down on dirty street

Baby on the street
Baby on the street
Baby on the street

09. Keep Me Rolling

Music & lyrics by Fernando von Arb, Chris von Rohr, Marc Storace
Woman, you make me hot
I said woman, I need a lot
Enjoy your lovin' enjoy your blues
And when you're rockin', you blow my fuse

Oh when the night is young
And the dark has come
I wanna share your love

You keep me rollin', through the night
You keep me goin', and that's alright

Lady, you got style
I said lady, I love your smile
Your tender body, your gypsy soul
This kinda magic, will never go, go, go!

When the night is young
And the dark has come
I wanna share your love
You keep me rollin', through the night
You keep me goin', and that's alright
You keep me rollin', through the night
You keep me goin', baby hold me time
Hold me time

When the night is young
And the dark has come
I wanna share your love

You keep me rollin'
You keep me rollin', through the night
You keep me goin', and that's alright
That's alright, yeah, that's alright
Hold me time, tonight
Baby, baby, baby, baby that's alright
Hold me time,
Right now

10. Shot Of Love

Music & lyrics by Fernando von Arb, Chris von Rohr, Marc Storace
1, 2

Don't want your money
Don't need your trash
Don't want your fake smile
Don't need your stash

Don't need your limousine
To get me out of my bed
Don't bring me caviar
Back talk hurts my head

I need a shot, shot of love
In a world of fools
I need a shot, shot of love
That's what I need, yeah

Don't sell me lifestyle
Don't need your blues
Don't want your perfume, baby
Don't need your booze

Don't feed me cocaine mama
It's more than I can bear
Don't bring me ecstasy
I don't need to be square

I need a shot, shot of love
In a world of fools
I need a shot, shot of love
Gimme what I need,

I need a shot, shot of love
In a world of fools
I need a shot, shot of love
Gimme what I need, yeah

I need a shot, shot of love
In a world of fools
I need a shot, shot of love
That's what I need, yeah

I need a shot, shot of love
In a world of fools
I need a shot, shot of love
Gimme what I need, yeah

Gimme a shot of love

11. Firestar

Music & lyrics by Fernando von Arb, Chris von Rohr, Marc Storace
My love burns like Texas heat
I'm goin' up in flames
She got me back on sturdy feet
Now I'm on my way

Feeding on my wild desire
Heals my weary soul
Holds me down in a hellfire
'till I lose control

Firestar, firestar

She fixed my heart and broken dreams
Energized my head
Helped me find a will of steel
Saved me from the dead

Hold me babe 'cause I'm your man
Melt these heavy chains
I will give you all I can
To take away your pain

Firestar, firestar

So hold me babe 'cause I'm your man
Melt these heavy chains
I will give you all I can
To take away your pain

Firestar, firestar
Firestar, firestar

Burnin', burnin', burnin', burnin'
Firestar, firestar
Firestar, firestar, fire
