Say what you will but it won't mean a thing
When there's no tree to see and no bird to sing All life will end no chance to survive The dust has come down and the whole world has died He's got the world in his hand To destroy at his command But he's just another man Who will be first and who will be last It's the same kind of story no matter the cast One man with a key can destroy you and me Or will this old earth support no life again He's got the world in his hand To destroy at his command But he's just another man He's Just another man He's Just another man He's Just another man 02. Madman
A glind of steel a flash of light
Someone won't be home tonight Broken lamp, shadows fall In the distance stray cats call No one sees, no one knows Choose a path where no one goes Fantasy in his mind Prowling in the streets at night Madman on the loose tonight Madman on the loose Madman on the streets tonight Madman he's a killer Empty Streets full of fears Scream out loud no one to hear To walk alone is nothing less Than walking side by side with death Madman on the loose tonight Madman on the loose Madman on the streets tonight Madman he's a killer Out in the night, his body's weak On the run no time to sleep In his mind, in his eyes Clearing all the streets of vice A glind of steel a flash of light Someone won't be home tonight Broken lamp, shadows fall In the distance stray cats call Madman on the loose tonight Madman on the loose Madman on the streets tonight Madman he's a killer 03. Too Hot To Handle
I meet her late one satuday night
I'd been watching her And Waiting my chance I looked in her eyes Full of mystery alright I Could tell that this was One Nights romance She looked too hot to handle But too dool to love She looked too hot to handle But too dool to love She had big green eyes And her smile was just right To Stop you right there in your tracks As cold as ice I saw it in those eyes There's gonna be no turning back She looked too hot to handle But too dool to love She looked too hot to handle But too dool to love She really looked good that night Her blue jeans clung so tight I couldn't contain my love She was too hot to handle But too cool to love Couldn't believe what she wanted of me But I gave her all the love I could give Girl of your dreams that how it seems Until you find ou How she's willing to live She looked too hot to handle But too dool to love She looked too hot to handle But too dool to love Too hot to handle Too cool to love I meet her late one satuday night I'd been watching her And Waiting my chance I looked in her eyes Full of mystery alright I Could tell that this was One Nights romance She looked too hot to handle Not too dool to love She looked too hot to handle Not too dool to love Too cool to love Too cool to love Too cool to love Too cool to love 04. Hard Road
I've been waiting Ooh I've been waiting
I've been waiting for such a long time Too late to find a new life chasing dreams So hard to find 'cos it's a hard road someone is waiting Hard road waiting for me Hard road I'll keep on tryin' Hard road calling me Hard road I've been tryin' tryin' for a long time Travelling the road in a rock and roll show Something to share is all I ask for If you leave then there's no place to go 'cos it's a hard road someone is waiting Hard road waiting for me Hard road I'll keep on tryin' Hard road calling me Hard road I I've been waiting I I've been waiting for so long 'cos it's a hard road someone is waiting Hard road waiting for me Hard road I'll keep on tryin' Hard road calling me Hard road Hard road Hard road Hard road Hard road 05. Tell Me Why
People think I"m crazy act like a fool
Try and understand me I break all the rules Not because I'm lazy got plenty to do All that is happening to me is out of my hands don't you see Try and see just how I feel Tell me why you're gettin' at me You won't even try to tolerate me Maybe I am crazy livin' a lie Sometimes I feel so sorry what can I do I can only give back what I'm given by you You can't start to worry is all I can say Your turn tomorrow my turn today All that has happened to me is out of my hands don't you see You will know just how I feel Tell me why you're gettin' at me You won't even try to tolerate me Maybe I am crazy livin' a lie Tell me why you're gettin' at me You won't even try to tolerate me Maybe I am crazy livin' a lie So far as I remember I've been this way Don't think about tomorrow, live for today I might sound defeatist its my state of mind Anger frustration is driving me wild All that has happened to me is out of my hands don't you see You will know just how I feel Tell me why you're gettin' at me You won't even try to tolerate me Maybe I am crazy livin' a lie 06. The Wake
[Instrumental]
07. Buried Alive
Told me that I should help you if I could
And help someone to live on after me You know I need your twenty pounds Suspicious about you Doctor Hood Sold you my body I gave it all to you 'cos I won't have no use where I go There's a card in my wallet says just help yourself 'cos I won't have no use where I go Buried alive buried alive Must be a way you can survive Must be a way you can be certain What's going on in your mind Buried alive buried alive Tell me that I'm fine drink another glass of wine My life is in your hands now no alarm If you take my body and Lucifer my soul I won't live in this world on my own Buried alive buried alive Must be a way you can survive Must be a way you can be certain What's going on in your mind Buried alive buried alive Buried alive buried alive Must be a way you can survive Must be a way you can be certain What's going on in your mind Buried alive buried alive 08. Silver Wheels
I feel it down in my body and soul
There is something I can't control Your very speed impresses me I feel your presence possessing me Ride on ride on Everybody's gonna sing my song Ride on ride on Tell me it won't be for long Ride on silver wheels Riding the highway down the streets I only move you respond to me Maybe we look but we do not see There is a voice that can set us free Ride on ride on Everybody's gonna sing my song Ride on ride on Tell me it won't be for long Ride on silver wheels Ride like a freebird down the highway Listen listen to me I got to tell you that I can see The road that's out there ahead of me And you know baby that I ain't scared Maybe I still go ahead Ride on ride on Everybody's gonna sing my song Ride on ride on Tell me it won't be for long Ride on silver wheels Ride on ride on Everybody's gonna sing my song Ride on ride on Tell me it won't be for long Ride on silver wheels You better ride on silver wheels You better ride on silver wheels 09. Love 'Em & Run
Girls are out to get ya hear what I say
Best thing you can do is keep out of their way They're only after one thing it's not the same as you Hear the bells a ringing come gunning for you You better love 'em and run today You gotta love 'em and run today First it's just a good try and keep it that way Only waiting for a sign she'll name the day Now you're in too deep it's harder to breathe Before you know what's hit you she's tugging your sleeve You better love 'em and run today You gotta love 'em and run today Time's up freedom days are over now Time's up freedom days are over Now you've got to mend your way No more drinkin' with the boys back the next day You're feelin' pretty grim you can't get away Stay at home watch TV that's how it's gonna be Realize your mistake you wanna be free You better love 'em and run today You gotta love 'em and run today Time's up freedom days are over now Time's up freedom days are over Now you've got to mend your way Ha ha ha ha Love 'em and run 10. Avalon
Peace and tranquility you'll find
Verrily we while away the hours See through the mirrors of your mind Secretly the drinking of the wine We all live on the Isle of Avalon Secrets of the thousand years Lie under the ground beneath your feet Echoes from the past of time Listen to the name that sounds so sweet Now you've come to Avalon Leave your will with the Lords of Avalon You will believe you will believe We are as one with the rising of the sun Peace and tranquility you'll find Verrily we while away the hours See through the mirrors of your mind Secretly the drinking of the wine We all live on the Isle of Avalon The Isle of Avalon We all live on the Isle of Avalon 11. (It's) Hell, Livin' Without You
You look at me and smile and give yourself away
The Guility look you've got there's nothing you need say No word, no reason, no chance for mi to stay What can I do, When I turn around to say It's hell living without you It's hell being alone I see a feeble mind that only works one way Your love for me was growing weaker day by day No word, no reason, no chance for mi to stay What can I do, When I turn around to say It's hell living without you It's hell being alone You said you never wanted us to end this way But you won't even talk it over What can I do, I still want you, please say you'll stay Don't tell me that you think it's over No word, no reason, no chance for mi to stay What can I do, When I turn around to say It's hell living without you It's hell being alone |
