1. Steamrock Fever
++++++++++++++++++
We'd like to introduce tonight
The kings of a brand-new style
They are hungry to play
We'd like to introduce tonight
The new heavy steamrock style
Quite different and strange
Alright, how do you feel tonight
Get up to see and cry the name of the band
Steam right with hands and feet tonight
Get up to see and cry and they will begin
Here they are
Steamrock fever, screaming rock believers
Steamrock fever in L.A.
Steamrock fever, screaming rock believers
Steamrock fever in L.A.
Alright, how do you feel tonight
Get up to see and cry the name of the band
Steam right with hands and feet tonight
Get up to see and cry and they will begin
Here they are
2. We'll Burn The Sky
+++++++++++++++++++++
I'm in love with the sunshine
I'm in love with the falling rain
Everything seems to call your name
Yesterday, you were leavin'
Leavin' life and all the pain
Everything wants you back again
wants you back again
wants you back again
I've found myself through you
And there was love in my life
I felt always naturally high
And my love had a home
But now my mind has started to roam
You're my life-giving fire
And you carry all my love
Through you I was so inspired
You're engraved deep in my heart
My dreams recall us being one
I've searched for you to be free
My force of life you have always been
I feel blue since you've gone
Your breath of love surrounded me
When can I rejoin you to be free
rejoin you to be free
Wait, can this be a dream
There is a voice in my head
It belongs to you, it says
Don't cry no need to be sad
There's a way to stay with you again
It's more than you ever had
And no death brings us apart
Our timeless love always grows
Because you are my other heart
I know we've never been apart
Your love sets fire to my heart
We'll Burn The Sky
When it's time
For me to die!
We'll Burn The Sky
When it's time - time to die,
We'll Burn The Sky
3. I've Got To Be Free
++++++++++++++++++++++
You're burning my heart
You're burning my mind
You're spoiling my art
You're wasting my time
No taste in your actions
No taste in your life
No truth nor direction
No true love of mine
You say, "You wanna be a superstar?"
Don't give a damn how to get that far
You say, "You wanna ride in a diamond car?"
But I don't like your fat cigar
Don't you wanna see
I'm not your stepping stone
I've Got To Be Free
So leave my life alone
You're in love with success
You're spilling my wine
Don't follow my tracks, babe
Your ways are not mine
You make all this money
You're wasting my life
I'm not your Bugs Bunny
And you're not my wife
You say you only do it for our best
But you don't want to see what I detest
You think me crack-brained
That I'm gonna leave your show
But you can see what I see
So let me go
4. The Riot Of Your Time
++++++++++++++++++++++++
The only king of rock has gone
gone to heaven
A star on the way to the stars
Another king of rock is born, '77
Just born to be there when it starts
'94 '95 if the world is still alive
Will be the start, for the riot of your time
Here's a ticket for a burning train
To set the world in flame
To play the hero game
(The Riot of Your Time)
Here's a ticket for the future days
You'll be the x-rock king
The new electric face
(The Riot of Your Time)
A new generation's mind
The Riot Of Your Time
He's got the message to be more, a new desire
A storm full of life, wild and young
"The x-rock 1994 electric fire"
Will burn up the time like the sun
5. The Sails Of Charon
++++++++++++++++++++++
Dark Night!
There is no light
In the realm of the black magic man
Souls Flight
Into the cold blight
Of the destroyers magic land
Poor Man!
Those spirits are stronger
There the one's who will reign
Your strugglings are in vain
Blind Man!
You're sucking your own blood
Soon black magics dying
You'd better start crying
Burn out
Your evil desire
The Dark Angel's Kingdom
Is built out of mire
Keep Out!
For the kingdom of light
There is no darkness
And there is no night
6. Your Light
+++++++++++++
When you're feeling lost and blue
When there is no love for you
You'll find Him and it's alright
it's alright
it's alright
When you're feeling down and low
When you've got no place to go
And when no one smiles 'Hello'
He's by your side you know
When you're getting deaf and blind
When you draw one leg behind
And when you're finally gonna lose your mind it's alright
it's alright
'Cause He is by your side
'Cause He will be your guide
'Cause He will be your light and you're not alone
7. He's A Woman, She's A Man
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I saw it walking lonely down the street
Cool like a cat and like a crazy dream
I'm looking twice again and can't believe
No No No
It turned around and then it looked at me
I thought 'oh no' it really couldn't be
It was a man and was a woman too
He's a woman - She's a man
He's a woman - She's a...
I think it really came from far away
I'm feeling hypnotised I have to stay
It takes my hand and says "Come on let's go"
We're going home there's nothing more to say
He starts to move, She starts to play
I need a body, why not you
He's a woman - She's a man
He's a woman - She's a... woman
He's a woman - She's a man
He's a woman - She's a...
Oooh, a man
8. Born To Touch Your Feelings
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I was born from the sound of the strings
For someone to give everything
To be a song just for your feeling
Close your eyes and I'll try to get in
To waken your heart like the spring
'Cause I was born to touch your feelings
Steal the time, take a song and be glad
Be free as the birds, don't be sad
Your time will come I'll make you feel it
You're still young, like the sun after rain
Follow the light it's not in vain
And you will see I'll touch your feelings
You've got your songs, they are everyday
For awhile, just the only way to feel alright
You've got your songs, they are everyday
For awhile, just the only way to feel alright
You were born just to lose or to win
To be someone's child in the wind
To live between your mind and feelings
Find your way check it out learn each day
Follow the light it's not in vain
And you will see I'll touch your feelings
You've got your songs, they are everyday
For awhile, just the only way to feel alright
I was born from the sound of the strings
For someone to give everything
To be a song just for your feeling
Close your eyes and I'll try to get in
To waken your heart like the spring
'Cause I was born to touch, to touch your feelings
