01. Larger Than Life

Music & lyrics by Michael Dan Ehmig, Lita Ford, Myron Grombacher
Hey, can you turn it up a little louder, please

Marlon Brando on a motorbike
In the black leather heat of a Saturday night
He said, "Whaddaya got?"
Ya got nothin'

Dollar in my pocket burnin' like Rome
There ain't no place that I call home
All alone in the big bad city

Hang around this town, man you're better off dead
I'm flyin' like a rebel flag, goin' outta my head

Yeah, we're gonna rocket tonight
We're gonna tear it up twice
Shake it up, break it up, tear it down, larger than life

I love the city when the sun goes down
It's a madhouse, baby, a real 'toon town
Whaddaya want
Ya wanna rocket
I take a picture, paint it black and white
And the neon burnin' like a new tattoo
Ready or not, here we come, uh, huh

Hang around this town, man you're better off dead
Flyin' like a rebel flag, goin' outta my head

Yeah, we're gonna rocket tonight
We're gonna tear it up twice
Shake it up, break it up, tear it down, larger than life
Yeah, we're gonna rock it tonight
We're gonna jam it uptight
Jack it up, rip it off, tear it down, larger than life

We're gonna rocket tonight
We're gonna tear it up twice
Shake it up, break it up, tear it down, larger than life

Yeah, we're gonna rocket tonight
We're gonna tear it up twice
Jack it up, rip it off, tear it down, larger than life

We're gonna rocket tonight
We're gonna rocket tonight, night, night, night
Tear it down

Larger than life
Larger
Than life

02. What Do Ya Know About Love?

Music & lyrics by Randy Cantor, Michael Caruso, Cal Curtis
You walk tall, you act proud
Leave the little girls cryin' out loud
You got it all, it's not enough
When it comes to love, babe you're outta luck
Yeah, I know I'm a fool
Tryin' to find a way to get next to you

I wanna tie myself to your bed of fire
But you'll only cut me loose once you had enough

Tell me, what do you know about love?
Spreadin' yourself all over town
What do you know about love?
There's a lot more to it than lyin' down

Your mind's tickin', your heart stop
Your eyes are ice cold, your lips are red hot
Little lies that you do
Whispered like an Angel straight from Hell
Live wire, short fuse
Walkin' detonator in snakeskin boots

You're a bad mistake but I can't wait to make you
I'm gonna shake you from your sleepwalk in the dark

Hey, what do you know about love?
With your dirty mind and your heart of stone
What do you know about love?
You got a lot of friends but you're all alone
How can you run from the truth?
Spreadin' yourself all over town
What do you know about love?
There's a lot more to it than lyin' down

The day will come, you take a long hard look in the mirror
And your pretty face starts to look a little rough

What do you know about love?
What do you know about love?
How can you run from the truth?
Baby, baby, run away, yeah

What do you know about love?
With your dirty mind and your heart of stone
What do you know about love?
You got a lot of friends but you're all alone
How can you run from the truth?
Spreadin' yourself all over town
What do you know about love?
There's a lot more to it than lyin' down

What do you know about love?
What do you know about love?
What do you know about love?

03. Shot Of Poison

Music & lyrics by Lita Ford, Myron Grombacher, Jim Vallance
Gotta love for destruction
Gotta feel for danger tonight
Hey, Mr. Moonlight wontcha follow me down
I need the company
Everybody tells me you're no good
That's all right with me

Gimme one shot of poison
A little twist is all I need
One drop of your sweet poison
Sets me free
Come on baby, poison me

Gotta hunger for fatal attraction
I'm savin' all my passion for you
I gotta heartbreak habit that I can't kick
Only you can ease the pain
I'm a midnight animal tryin' to score
Before I go insane

Gimme me one shot of poison
A little twist is all I need
One drop of your sweet poison
Sets me free
One shot of poison
A little taste of paradise
One drop of your sweet poison
Satisfies
Give me one last kiss before I die

I'm flyin' high
On your love, tonight, baby

One shot of poison
A little twist is all I need
One drop of your sweet poison
Sets me free
One shot of poison
A little taste of paradise
One drop of your sweet poison
Satisfies

One shot of poison
Cme on, baby, poison me
One drop of your sweet poison
Sets me free
One shot

04. Bad Love

Music & lyrics by Michael Dan Ehmig, Lita Ford, David Ezrin, Joe Taylor
Wake up now darlin'
I got a reason to believe
This love ain't gonna last the night
You've opened my eyes, now I'm a little bit wiser
A little bite colder

There's no easy way
To let you down and tell you
I don't love you anymore
Have a little respect, don't beg
I don't need it, I never wanted it anyway

So stop what you're saying
It's more than I can take
We've reached the end, there's no defense
I had enough of this bad, bad, love

Yeah

Don't fool yourself
I could never forgive you
And I damn sure won't forget ya
In Heaven or Hell every tear that I've cried
Will come back to haunt you yet

Don't be surprised if one of these mornings
Bad luck comes knockin' at your door
Oh, no, you'll find out
Hell hath no fury like this woman that you've scorned

Stop, don't say it
It's more than I can take
We've reached the end, there's no defense
I've had enough of this bad love

Don't be surprised
If one of these mornings
Bad luck comes knockin' at your door
Have a little respect, don't beg
I don't need it, it doesn't matter anymore

Stop, don't say it
Don't try to make me see
We've reached the end, there's no defense
I had enough of this bad, bad, love

05. Playin' With Fire

Music & lyrics by Michael Dan Ehmig, Lita Ford, Jim Vallance
I could see a strange fire burning up in you
The first time I looked in your eyes
I could feel sparks fly dangerous and true
Straight through this heart of mine

Now, I ain't afraid to take the things I want
I don't believe the world is gonna change for me
So I'll take the love I need

We were riding high
Like flames against the sky
Innocent and wild, we were playin' with fire
Too hot to touch, you can't call it love
But it's close enough to be playin' with fire
We're playin' with fire

I could see a dark side scratchin' at your soul
The risk is sweet as the sin
I feel your lips as they swallow me whole
Strike like a match on my skin

And I'm tired of wasting all my precious time
I love the way I feel when you're in my mind
It ain't no crime

We were riding high
Like flames against the sky
Innocent and wild, we were playin' with fire
Too hot to touch, you can't call it love
But it's close enough to be playin' with fire
We're playin' with fire

In the long nights
We were burnin'
Caught in a wild fire
Out of control

We were riding high
Like flames against the sky
Innocent and wild, we were playin' with fire
Too hot to touch, you can't call it love
But it's close enough to be playin' with fire
We're playin' with fire

We were riding high
Like flames against the sky
Innocent and wild, we were playin' with fire
Too hot to touch, you can't call it love
But it's close enough to be playin' with fire
We're playin' with fire

06. Hellbound Train

Music & lyrics by Michael Dan Ehmig, Lita Ford, David Ezrin, Myron Grombacher, Kevin Sav
Bad luck and trouble
Crashin' through my veins
And I ain't bound for glory
There's a devil in my brain
Got a fistful of whiskey, a suitcase full of sin
An' there's a thousand nasty habits
Underneath my skin

We can fly on wings of the flames
Comin' down hard, only yourself to blame
Playin' so tough in a deadly game
Ain't that a shame

Goin' down tonight on a Hellbound train
Goin' down tonight on a Hellbound train

I'm a speed demon baby, movin' way too fast
You put a dagger through my soul
But you'll never kick my ass, oh, no
We can fly on the wings of the flames
Comin' down hard, only yourself to blame
Playin' so tough in a deadly game
Ain't that a shame

Goin' down tonight on a Hellbound train
Goin' down tonight on a Hellbound train
Goin' down tonight, I'm Hellbound

Ain't good for nothin', nothin's what I crave
I'm your Angel of Darkness
And I'll see you in Hell one day
We can fly on the wings of the flames
Comin' down hard, only yourself to blame
Playin' so tough in a deadly game
Ain't that a shame

Goin' down tonight on a Hellbound train
Goin' down tonight on a Hellbound train
Goin' down tonight, I'm Hellbound
On a Hellbound train

07. Black Widow

Music & lyrics by Michael Dan Ehmig, Lita Ford, David Ezrin, Joe Taylor
Spider web stockings
At the pearly gates
Ruby lips, Revlon kiss
Born to seal your fate

Beautiful and deadly
Making love in a suicide bed
Once you taste that poison, darling, you're dead

Catch you in those dark eyes
Steal your breath away

Black Widow
The curse on her calls your name
To this wicked game called love
Black Widow
Though you know her kisses kill
You can't resist that deadly thrill
Black Widow

Long legs squeeze you tight
Hold you for one endless night
Her touch is cold, her bite is deep
She's everything you'll ever need
Catch you in those dark eyes
Steal your life away

Black Widow
The curse on her calls your name
To this wicked game called love
Black Widow
Though you know her kisses kill
You can't resist that deadly thrill
Black Widow
Comin' outta the dark, hey
Black Widow
Goin' straight for your heart, hey, Black Widow
Widow

Ha, yeah

The curse on her calls your name
To this wicked game called love
Black Widow
Though you know her kisses kill
You can't resist that deadly thrill
Black Widow
Comin' outta the dark, hey
Black Widow
Goin' straight for your heart, hey, Black Widow

Widow

08. Little Too Early

Music & lyrics by Ritchie Blackmore, Al Pitrelli, Joe Lynn Turner
Look into my eyes and tease me
What am I supposed to do
I should try and run just as far as I can get from you
Your love feels so very easy
Nothin' I can say to you
I better turn away before you melt me right through

'Cause I was born just a little too early
You came along just a little too late
We hang around just a little bit longer
Somebody's heart is gonna break
It's gonna break

Standing on the edge of willing
All you gotta do is touch me right
Every time you do what you do, it gets so hard to fight
The magic in your eyes is true
If I could only look away
I'm beggin' you to leave so I won't have to beg you to stay

'Cause I was born just a little too early
You came along just a little too late
We hang around just a little bit longer
Somebody's heart is gonna break
It's gonna break

The magic in your eyes is true
If I could only look away
I'm beggin' you to leave so I won't have to beg you to stay
I won't have to beg you to stay

'Cause I was born just a little too early
You came along just a little too late
If we hang around just a little bit longer
Somebody's heart is gonna break

I was born just a little too early
You came along just a little too late
We hang around just a little bit longer
Somebody's heart is gonna break

I was born just a little too early
You came along just a little too late
We hang around just a little bit longer
Somebody's heart is gonna break

09. Holy Man

Music & lyrics by Michael Dan Ehmig, Lita Ford
Lead me into temptation
Save me with your healing hands
Show me the fires of creation
Baby be my holy man

Flames in the Garden of Eden
Heaven in pieces at my feet
I faced the raging ruin
Of a million sleepless nights
I need to rest my weary head
On your resurrection bed

Storms across the horizon
Whirlwind tuggin' at my sleeve
Just when my heart was turning
To an icy shade of blue
You came into the night
Held me so close
How the hell ya found me
God only knows

Lead me into temptation
Save me with your healing hands
Show me the fires of creation
Baby be my holy man

Lies in the Valley of Evil
Like shadows fallin' 'cross my eyes
When there's no santuary
You came and turned the storms away
You made the darkest night in my life
Into Judgement Day

Lead me into temptation
Save me with your healing hands
Show me the fires of creation
Baby be my holy man

I see forever in your eyes
For your love
I would make any sacrifice, yeah

Lead me into temptation
Save me with your healing hands
Show me the fires of creation
Baby be my holy man

Lead me into temptation
Save me with your healing hands
Show me the fires of creation
Baby be my holy man

Lead me into temptation
Save me with your healing hands
Show me the fires of creation
Baby be my holy man

Lead me into temptation
Save me with your healing hands
Show me the fires of creation
Baby be my holy man

10. Tambourine Dream

Music & lyrics by Michael Dan Ehmig, Lita Ford, Myron Grombacher
Sail away, my crystal ship
'Cross the diamond sea
Hear the sweet song of a morning star
On a distant tambourine
I could hear a heart of thunder
Callin' me from across the lonely sea tonight
The spell that I'm under
Has brought you to my door, the love I hunger for

Won't you be my tambourine dream
We can last forever in a lover's fantasy
I want you to be my tambourine dream
Wrap your arms around me, baby, come along with me
I'll sing you a sweet melody, yeah

Stranger come, one sleepless night
Built a castle 'round my heart
Music man from another land, far beyond the stars
When the morning came a knockin'
Kissed my lips and slipped away into the mist
Heard a gypsy song callin'
Just close your eyes tonight
I'll be there by your side

Won't you be my tambourine dream
We can last forever in a lover's fantasy
I want you to be my tambourine dream
Wrap your arms around me, baby, come along with me
I'll sing you a sweet melody, yeah

Won't you be my tambourine dream
We can last forever in a lover's fantasy
I want you to be my tambourine dream
Wrap your arms around me, baby, come along with me
Tamborine dream
I want you to be my tambourine dream
We can last forever in a lover's fantasy
I want you to be my tambourine dream
Wrap your arms around me, baby, come along, come along with me
Tamborine dream
Tamborine dream
Tamborine dream
Tamborine dream
Tamborine dream, yeah

And I'm dreamin' tonight
Tamborine dream
Dream tonight, yeah

Tamborine dream
