I rode the highway to heartache
I took a trip on the ship of fools, woah yeah! And I paid the price to have my way Because money makes the rules, yeah! Sing it! Lay down! I'm looking through you Stay down! You got what you should Pay now! All that you never would It feels good! Hell or hallelujah! No matter what you do I'm running through you Yeah! You said that love's never lasting We surrender our hearts to lose, yeah Time's up there's nobody asking This time I get to choose Let me hear you! Lay down! Don't say you're sorry Stay down! I knew that you would Pay now! Don't say you're misunderstood It feels good Hell or hallelujah! No matter what you do I'm running through ya One more time! Hell or hallelujah! Come on, come on The rest is up to you It's overdue, yea Listen! One heart is breaking One chance I'm taking No lies, no faking Goodbye, feels like it should! It feels good! Oh yeah! Yeah, let me tell you how it feels? It feels good! 02. Wall Of Sound
The blood's getting hot
No matter what you've got You can't stop the roll of the thunder (yeah) You want to take a shot So give me all you've got Can't break the spell that I'm under (no) And the battle never ends And the soldiers never die And you don't back down And you don't pretend when you look them in the eye And it all comes down To the wall of sound Yeah, and it all comes down When it all goes wrong You've got to be strong The rest of the world's going to shatter It doesn't matter Let the floods go raging by Let the sinners wash away To the dark of man there's a ray of light There begins another day And it all comes down To the wall of sound (ooh) Yeah! Yeah! And we all bow down To the wall of sound Yeah, we all bow down To the wall of sound Bow down Yeah, bow down Bow down 03. Freak
I used to wonder why
When I was walking by They talked about me What could it be They tried to break me Never could make me Out in the streets Taking all the heat Dancing in the sheets, oh yeah All those streaks in my hair People point at me and stare If they ask me I'll say, "yeah!" I'm a freak And I love the clothes I wear Where their life goes I don't care It's my price I'm proud to pay I'm a freak The called me crazy It doesn't faze me I'm doing fine, they're doing time They tried to break me Never could make me Live like a fire Dancing with desire Walking on the wire, oh yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah) I'm a freak and love what I see I'm a freak and I love being me (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) I pledge allegiance... to the state of... independence I got streaks in my hair People point at me and stare If they ask me I'll say, yeah! I'm a freak And I love the clothes I wear Where their life goes I don't care It's my price I'm proud to pay I'm a freak I'm the freak and I love what I see I'm the freak and I love being me I'm a freak and that's all I can be I'm a freak, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 04. Back To The Stone Age
In the beginning there was darkness and there was light
At the dawn of creation there was fear in the dead of night There was thunder, there was flame The whole wide world is driving me insane Don't want to run, don't want to hide I keep the fire buring deep inside I howl at the moon, I pray to the sun I've got a one-way ticket to kingdom come I'm going back to the stone age I'm going back where I belong I'm going back to the stone age Back where I come from Telling the world I'm going back where I belong To a place where the sky is clear, the wind is strong Climb the mountains, cross the seas Clear in my soul I want to be free Sit on the throne, let them kiss the ring Because I'm a stone age man (yeah) (I'm the king) back to the stone age Back where I belong I'm going back to the stone age Back where I belong I like it Yeah Back to the stone age (I'm going back)[x2] Back to the stone age (yeah) Bye-bye, so long 05. Shout Mercy
Hey!
I don't want a lover's heartache I don't need nobody's sympathy So come on get the party started All I need is lying next to me We got our own situation Ready, and steady, to go Come out, put out, get out That's what we're all about I want to hear you shout mercy (whoo-hoo) I want to get a little crazy (oh yeah) Hey! You got everything I'm after Flesh and blood just like a fantasy (whoo-hoo) Alright So make my heart start beating faster Never is and what can never be (whoo-hoo) Mercy You got to a line to keep waiting How is it nobody sees Come out, put out, get out That's what we're all about Yeah!

Long Way Down
Gypsy, has eyes that hide the secrets no one sees
Easy, you smile until she brings you to your knees Stick around until you get the truth Taste blood when you get your proof (oh yeah) Find that you've never understood Give it all, but it's meant for good (oh yeah) And I know this life makes fools of wise men, thieves, and kings (yeah) When we lose we live our lives like puppets on a string Close your eyes and you'll lose your soul Do your time, but there's no parole from here No chance when the end is near Hear the words that you never thought you'd hear (yeah) Life whispers in your ear It's a long way down When ground starts coming I tried to tell you, but you would not listen It's a long way when you fall from the top Yeah! Build it all on a bed of lies Standing tall until you realize you're here Look away, but you can't pretend Going to pray for a way when the end is near Life whispers in your ear It's a long way down When ground starts coming I tried to tell you But you would not listen It's a long way Such a long, long way It's a long way down When the ground starts coming I tried to tell you But you would not listen It's a long way Such a long, long way A long way down[x2] When you fall from the top 07. Eat Your Heart Out
Eat your heart out baby
Oh, won't you get me something sweet Eat your heart out baby (yeah) A hot mess is just what I need (uh, yeah) Yeah, give me a kiss I'll bite your lip Come on baby let your backbone slip You've got that something that gets me jumping I got something want to talk about I ain't lying there's no denying There ain't no doubt about that You got big trouble crawling up your spine (yeah, yeah) If you want double trouble stop wasting time (yeah, yeah) Sparks fly, my blood runs high I want to show you what it's all about Grease lightning at my feet And now I feel the heat You're my pleasure You're my pain I'm coming back again It feels right It feels good You give me pleasure like a big girl should Oh, yeah! Ooh! I want to eat your heart out baby Oh, won't you get me something sweet Eat your heart out baby (yeah) A hot mess is just what I need What I need Eat your heart out baby You've got something sweet Sweet! Eat your heart out baby I want to Eat your heart out baby Oh yeah 08. The Devil Is Me
I ran from temptation
I prayed for salvation (yeah) I screamed at God Save me from my own damnation (yeah) My eyes were cold and blinded I held the page I could not read Drew up my blood inside him I woke up in a sweat And heard the Lord's decree The Devil is me I fought myself to be set free Because the Devil is me (yeah) I lived in confusion Choked on my past illusions I sinned a thousand times And drank the wine While screaming out for absolution (yeah) I stood on mountain broken I woke up in a sweat And heard the Lord's decree Take a look at yourself and tell me what you see The Devil is me My eyes were cold and blinded I held the page I could not read Drew up my blood inside him I woke up in a sweat And heard the Lord's decree Yeah! The Devil is me 09. Outta This World
Ah yeah!
I was born to the human race Living life feeling out of place People said I was wasting my time Looking to find my kind I saw you and I realized You got the fire burning in your eyes Let's get away, leave it all behind I'm ready to blow your mind I'll take you out of this world (to the other side) On a midnight rocket ('til the morning light) Going up, going down (it's going to be alright) I'll take you out of this world tonight You and me we're like TNT Light the fuse that's inside of me You get your ticket when you understand I'm ready to be your man You got a hunger baby there's no doubt You got desire - got to get it out I'll free your body, if you free your soul If you're ready to rock I'm ready to roll I see the glow Burning down the midnight sky I feel the flow I'm going to take you high Yeah! I'll take you out of this world Take you out of this world On a midnight rocket I'll take you out of this world tonight Out to this world Out to this world tonight Out to this world Out to this world tonight Out to this world Out to this world tonight 10. All For The Love Of Rock & Roll
Yeah, yeah
I was just another child going wild in the city Just getting by on a dream I was thinking life was going to be so pretty It was pretty mean Yeah I hit the road with no expectations Just sleeping where I'd been I didn't care about the fame or the money Show me a place to play and I'm going to go Because it's all for the love of rock and roll In my music, in the air, and I'm losing control I don't care what you heard, I don't care what you're told Because it's all for the love of rock and roll I hitched a ride on a trip going nowhere Got fifty bucks in a fight Isn't a lot you know when it's over You know the feeling, well it feels alright, alright When you're finished with the band and some honey grabs your hand, yeah You get to thinking you might That's when you notice there's a ring on her finger That's when she tells you that she's single tonight I've got it made when I hit the stage at quarter to nine (yeah) Watch them dancing in the haze and the band's really pumping You feel the rush and that's all it's about I'm in for life and there's no getting out of the way Yeah All I want All I need 11. Take Me Down Below
I saw her standing there across the room
A glass of wine and some sweet perfume Next thing I knew She was standing right next to me (oh, yeah!) I told her that I had a submarine She said, "I know exactly what you mean" I told that my ship was ready to ride She touched my heart when she touched my thigh She said, take me down below Doesn't matter where we go Yeah, I understand Lead me by the hand Won't you take me down below I took an elevator late one night This lady by my side looked like she might The doors were closing When I asked her to take a ride with me (come here baby!) She took my finger, here's a button to press I raised my flag and she dropped her dress I'll take you on a cruise you'll never forget She said, "we better move because I'm already wet" I took a flight at night from east to west I asked the hostess for my flying test She threw the covers and we started to rock She whispered, "you can take me bottom or top" (yeah) Come on, come on Take me down below (come on down below) It doesn't matter where we go (it doesn't matter where we go) Yeah, I understand Lead me by the hand Won't you take me down below (oh yeah) Take me down below (yeah, yeah) Won't you take me down below (you know you wanted it) Take me down below (oh yeah) Won't you take me down below 12. Last Chance
Open the door and let the night come crawling in
Take a bite of the core of the original sin Yeah, you're ready for more But you just don't know where to begin (yeah you do) This is your last chance to get it right Do your dance on the edge of the knife It's your last chance so just roll the dice Because nobody here is getting out alive You want it, you need it so get on the ride Yeah, you heard you'll be sorry but you know that they lied Yeah, there's so much here that you want to see You'll give it up eventually, yeah, yeah So come on and open your eyes You got to live or you die Hey! Your last chance This is your last chance to get it right Do your dance on the edge of the knife Do your dance, dance, dance on the edge of the knife Let's go! This is your last chance, yeah This is your last chance, right This is your last chance Yeah! 13. Right Here Right Now
I can see in your eyes
That you're tired of the talk You're tired of the lies Every time you let a day pass you by A part of you dies Take a chance, win or lose Don't ever give up on the life that you choose You've got to hit them like a freight-train coming You drop the pedal with the motor running Right here right now Yesterday's gone, tomorrow's always in doubt Right here right now The only time that matters anyhow You were born, got it all The rest is all up to you You stand or you crawl Got to chase to break And run with the fall Get up when you fall Yeah There's one thing (there's one thing) You can bet (you can bet) I'll take them something That they'll never forget Right here, right now Yesterday's gone, tomorrow's always in doubt Right here, right now The only time, the only time That matters is now Live out every day Doing whatever's right for you Live out every day Any way that you dare Is anyone ready to fight for you? Hell yeah You're on your own Hell yeah But not alone Hell yeah Anywhere that you go |
