1. Streets Of Fire
++++++++++++++++++
Ride thru the night,
escape from the chains,
with a loaded gun in hand.
from outlaw 2 hero.
rebel rider

Shoots 4 the thrills,
kills 4 the game
but no one understands.
the lesson is zero
2 outsiders.

Nowhere 2 run.
nowhere 2 hide,
no looking back,
the hammer is coming down
in your direction
on the line once again

(Streets of fire),
you're under the gun,
(streets of fire),
out on the run,
(streets of fire),
out 4 blood 2 night
on streets of fire

S stranger in town,
a victim in sight,
out on the streets again.
so hide all the children,
armed and ready.

Hearts beating fast,
wind blowing cold,
finger holds the
trigger's end.
yours 4 the killing,
nice steady


2. Long Time
++++++++++++
Take your spell away,
like u did it before,
cuz i don't need
it anymore

4 a summertime,
we were living a lie,
but who knew love
was gonna die.

No more foolin',
cuz you' re drivin'
me insane
u better stop moving',
or you' re gonna feel
the pain

I its's been a long time,
it was a long time ago.
we tried everything,
yeah, we tried it all,
still our love would
take a fall.

Another sleepless night,
another endless day
the memories just
fade away


3. Eternal Prisoner
+++++++++++++++++++
I saw the shadow rising
from a hill up down below
there was no place
for hiding
still i didn't know
where to go

I'd better be aware of
the place of no return
all i could hear was some-
one saying "burn"

Eternal prisoner
forever lost in space
eternal prisoner
forever locked in a cage

In the light of day
you can hear
the wizard pray
and in the dark of night
there was a rainbow
shining bright

Eternal prisoner
forever lost in space
eternal prisoner
forever locked in a cage

They never saw
the light of day
all they could do
was wish and pray
they were tortured
to the bones
with swords and
glowing stones


4. Your Life (Not Close Enough To Paradise)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I remember that the rain
falls down
and it was cold in the
heart of the town

I'm still searching for the
meaning of life,
in a world of starry eyes.
i want you back,
back where you belong,
i never felt love
growing up so strong.
can you feel it,
feel it in your heart
that nothing can
tear us apart

Your life, your life,
not close enough
to paradise
your life, and your
heart's still cold as ice

I felt so lonely,
so lonely and cold
with nothing,
nothing in this world
to hold

I'd tried to stop crying',
cryin' all day
all i want is you to stay
your life, your life,
not close enough to
paradise
your life, and your
heart's still
cold as ice

Your life, love is
on my mind.
but love's so hard to find
your life we built
a mountain of love.
high enough to touch
the sky above


5. Wheels Rolling On
++++++++++++++++++++
Round round wheels
r turning!
all your life,
u been fighting 4 the day.
2 take the spotlight,
steal the thunder,
no one's gonna take
this time away.

I its's all part
of the passion,
goin' all the way.

WHEELS ROLLING ON,
THEY KEEP ON TURNIN',
WHEELS ROLLING ON,
IT'S AN EVERLASTING ROAD
THAT'S HERE 2 STAY

I its's your time,
it's your destination,
though u know that your
back's against the wall.
but the lights are calling',
the night is screamin',
now it's all 4 one
one 4 all.

This night will last 4 ever,
don't let it get away.
wheels rolling on,
the night is burnin',
wheels rolling on,
your heart is yearnin',


6. Sweet Lil' Suzie
+++++++++++++++++++
S he's young fine like
a sip of good wine,
she plays like she's
dyin' 2 meet u
if u take her home,
once u get her alone,
that's when her
innocence beats u.

S Dame old story
4 a small town girl,
she's gonna play u like
a fool, yeah,
she'll take u up
then bring u down,
have a drowning in your
own little pool, yeah.

O h, sweet little suzie, who's
your victim 2 night
on sweet suzie won't
u turn out the lights,
(give it 2 me now)

W ell, i played along,
thought i'd know the game.
took a chance
with a true emotion
gave her heaven more
than anyone could give
sweared on my devotion.

S he took it all in stride,
just another ride,
u know i must've been
a blind, yeah,
cuz, now she's feedin' off
another lost soul,
she's got your heart on
the line, yeah.


7. Dreams Of Passion
(Instrumental)


8. Shoot Her To The Moon
++++++++++++++++++++++++
S he was born down
in uptown, baby
everything she wants,
she's got with
big daddy's money,
kept up with
the lastest fashions,
but when it came 2 love,
she didn't know jack about
it, funny.

Cuz she's tellin' me maybe
we could just be friends,
I've got another plan if my
love she's gonna end

S hoot, shoot, shoot,
shoot her to the moon,
shoot, shoot, shoot,
nothing more 2 lose,
shoot, shoot, shoot,
shoot her to the moon.
shoot, shoot, shoot, whatcha
gonna do.

C caviar with a silver spoon,
designer everything
more as long
as she can buy it.
that's not the way
2 treat a true emotion,
can't put a price on love, but
i know if she could,
she would try it.

Now she's tellin' me maybe we
could just be friends.
I've got another plan if my
love she's gonna end.


9. Ride The Bullet
++++++++++++++++++
Gonna take u down,
down 2 the floor,
gonna make u wanna
scream 4 more.
take a look,
a look in my direction.
touch your body as you're
feelin' my erection!

A s i burn in your desire,
i can feel
u takin' me higher.
up down,
fill u up with my love,
(hey, hey, do u wanna ride
the bullet!)
in out til u can't
get enough.

I'll be the best,
the best u ever had,
do it so good,
i swear i'll drive u mad.
lick your body like a cat
with a bowl of cream
when you're comin' up, ooh
it's so obscene.
yeah, u pump me 2 the wire,
like a burnin' wheel of fire.
grind u down til you're
beggin' 4 reason
(hey, hey, do u wanna ride
the bullet!)
taste my skin,
it's that time of the season.
