CREATURES OF THE NIGHT

Searching in the darkness, running from the day
Hiding from tomorrow, nothing left to say
Victims of the moment, future deep in doubt
Living in a whisper till we start to shout

We're creatures of the night, we're creatures of the night

Breathing in the madness, spitting out the lies
Searching for an answer, keep your alibis
Don't know where we're goin', just know where we've been
Remember when the clock strikes twelve, the losers always win

We're creatures of the night, we're creatures of the night

Searching in the darkness, running from the day
Hiding from tomorrow, nothing left to say
Gathering up our courage, ready for the fight
Howling in the shadows, till we start to bite

We're creatures of the night, we're creatures of the night
We're creatures of the night, we're creatures of the night


DEUCE

Get up
And get your grandma outta here
Pick up
Old Jim is workin' hard this year
And baby
Do the things he says to do

Baby, if you're feeling good
And baby if you're feeling nice
You know your man is workin' hard
He's worth a deuce

Honey
Don't put your man behind his years
And baby
Stop cryin' all your tears
Baby
Do the things he says to do
Do it

Baby, if you're feeling good
And baby if you're feeling nice
You know your man is workin' hard
He's worth a deuce

And baby, if you're feeling good
Yes baby if you're feeling nice
You know your man is workin' hard
Yeah


I JUST WANNA

I got a body built for sin and an appetite for passion
Yeah I can see the road to ruin and I'm lookin' for some action
I got my finger on the trigger and a match to the fuse
I'll make someone an offer that's too big to refuse

Tired of tryin' to be what I'll never be, baby, you could never see that

Chorus:
I don't want a romance, I don't wanna dance, I just wanna forget you
Time to take my chances, find somebody new
I just wanna for, I just wanna for, I just wanna forget you

I'm gonna set the night on fire, shootin' like a Roman Candle
Ooh yeah, I'm burnin' with desire and I'm much too hot to handle
I'm like a runaway, crazy train, I'm out of control
If you try to put the brakes on, I'm still gonna roll

Tired of tryin' to do what you want me to, baby, I'm just tired of you, yeah

I don't want a romance, I don't wanna dance, I just wanna forget you
Time to take my chances, find somebody new
I just wanna for, I just wanna for, I just wanna for
I just wanna forget you

(Instrumental break)

Wake up, baby, don't you sleep, I can't take this one more week
If I can't go out to play, I can't make it one more day

I wanna play with dynamite, time is right for heavy breathing
Gettin' stone cold crazy till the dawn without a reason
I wanna take me a vacation down a long stretch of track
I'll find a new sensation and I ain't comin' back

Tired of tryin' to be what I'll never be, baby, you could never see that

I don't want a romance, I don't wanna dance
I don't want a romance, or a second chance
I don't want a romance, I don't wanna dance
I just wanna for, I just wanna forget

chorus repeats 2x

I just wanna forget you, yeah!


UNHOLY

I was there through the ages
Chained snakes to their cages
I have seen you eat your own
I'm the cycle of pain
Of a thousand year old reign

I'm suicide and salvation
The omen to nations
That you worship on all fours
I'm the infection and famine
That's knocking at your door

That's why you're feeling so

Unholy
Oh, I was created by man, you know I'm....
Unholy
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I am the incubus
i lay the egg in you
The worm that burrows
Through your brain
But you are the beast
That calls me by my name

You send your children to war
To serve bastards and whores
So now you know
You created me
On the day that you were born

Unholy
I was created by man, yeah I'm the Lord of the flies, you know I'm
Unholy
From the left hand of power comes the father of lies
Unholy - Unholy!

(Instrumental break)

I lay you down to sleep
Your soul to keep
Better cross your heart before you die
And now you know
Know that you are mine

That's why you're feeling so

Unholy, Unholy, Unholy - Unholy!!


HEAVEN'S ON FIRE

I look at you and my blood boils hot, I feel my temperature rise
I want it all, give me what you got, there's hunger in your eyes
I'm getting closer, baby hear me breathe
You know the way to give me what I need
Just let me love you and you'll never leave

Chorus:
Feel my heat takin' you higher, burn with me, Heaven's on fire
Paint the sky with desire, angel fly, Heaven's on fire

I got a fever ragin' in my heart, you make me shiver and shake
Baby don't stop, take it to the top, eat it like a piece of cake
You're comin' closer, I can hear you breathe
You drive me crazy when you start to tease
You could bring the devil to his knees

chorus

Oho Heaven's on fire, oho Heaven's on fire, oho

I'm getting closer, baby hear me breathe
You know the way to give me what I need
Just let me love you and you'll never leave

chorus repeats out


WATCHIN' YOU

Livin' as you do and I'm watchin' you
And you don't really know a-just what to do

You don't really know
You don't really know
What to do

And I'm standin' here not quite aware
And I'm tryin' baby, tryin' not to stare

Ooh, 'cause everybody else is here
Yes, everybody else is here
Everybody else is here
Watchin' you

Ooh, 'cause everybody else is here
Yes, everybody else is here
Everybody else is here
Watchin' us


DOMINO

"Now lemme tell ya my story, I got a man-sized predicament
And it's a big one, goes like this, yeah"

My my, ow, yeah!

Never had confession, never had a home
Never had no worry, until I met Domino

Ain't the virgin Mary, love her I confess
Got my hesitations, 'cause she kisses like the kiss of death

Loves lots of money, back's against the wall
Calls me "Sugar Daddy", she knows she's got me by the balls

They call her Domino - "so fine"

Got a reputation, haven't got a hope
It's a sticky situation, if she ain't old enough to vote

Loves to play with fire, loves to hurt so good
Loves to keep me burnin', 'cause she's a bad habit, bad habit
Bad habit that's good, good, good

They call her Domino, Domino, Domino

(Instrumental break)

"Every damn time I walk through that door, it's the same damn thing
That bitch bends over, and I forget my name - ow!"

Loves lots of money, back's against the wall
Calls me "Sugar Daddy", she knows she's got me by the balls - ow!
Loves to play with fire, love her I confess
Got no hesitations, cause she's a bad habit, bad habit, she's a bad habit!

"Yeah"


I WAS MADE FOR LOVIN' YOU

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do

You were made for lovin' me
And I can't get enough of you baby

You were made for lovin' me

And I can give it all to you baby


I STILL LOVE YOU

You tell me that you're leaving, and I'm trying to understand
I had myself believing I should take it like a man
But if you gotta go, then you gotta know that it's killing me
And all the things I never seem to show, I gotta make you see

Girl it's been so long, (tell me) how could it be
One of us knows the two of us don't belong in each others company
It hurts so much inside, your telling me goodbye, you wanna be free
And knowin' that you're gone and leavin' me behind
I gotta make you see, I gotta make you see, I gotta make you see

I still love you, I still love you
I really, I really love you, I still love you

People tell me I should win at any cost
But now I see as the smoke clears away, the battle has been lost

I see it in your eyes, you never have to lie, I'm out of your life
Tonight I'll dream away and you can still be mine
But I'm dreamin' a lie, dreamin' a lie, makes me wanna die

'Cause I still love you, I still love you
Baby, baby I love you, I still love you

And when I think of all the things you'll never know
There's so much left to say
'Cos girl, now I see the price of losing you will be my half to pay
My half to pay, each and every day, hear what I say

I still love you, I still love you
I really, I really love you, I still love you
Baby, baby, I love you, I love you, I really, I really love you


ROCK AND ROLL ALL NITE

You show us everything you've got
You keep on dancin' and the room gets hot
You drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy
You say you wanna go for a spin
The party's just begun, we'll let you in
You drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy
You keep on shoutin', you keep on shoutin'

I wanna rock and roll all nite and party every day
I wanna rock and roll all nite and party every day
I wanna rock and roll all nite and party every day
I wanna rock and roll all nite and party every day

You keep on saying you'll be mine for a while
You're lookin' fancy and I like your style
You drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy
You show us everything you've got
Baby, baby that's quite a lot
And you drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy
You keep on shoutin', you keep on shoutin'

I wanna rock and roll all nite and party every day
I wanna rock and roll all nite and party every day
I wanna rock and roll all nite and party every day
I wanna rock and roll all nite and party every day
I wanna rock and roll all nite and party every day
I wanna rock and roll all nite and party every day
I wanna rock and roll all nite and party every day
I wanna rock and roll all nite and party every day
I wanna rock and roll


LICK IT UP

Don't wanna wait 'til you know me better
Let's just be glad for the time together
Life's such a treat and it's time you taste it
There ain't a reason on earth to waste it
It ain't a crime to be good to yourself

Chorus:
Lick it up, lick it up, it's only right now
Lick it up, lick it up, ooh yeah
Lick it up, lick it up, come on, come on
Lick it up, lick it up

Don't need to wait for an invitation
You gotta live like you're on vacation
There's something sweet you can't buy with money - lick it up, lick it up
It's all you need, so believe me honey
It ain't a crime to be good to yourelf

chorus

Come on - it's only right now (it's only right now)
Ooh yeah (ooh yeah) ooh yeah (ooh yeah), yeah yeah

chorus repeats out


FOREVER

I gotta tell you what I'm feelin' inside, I could lie to myself, but it's true
There's no denying when I look in your eyes, girl I'm out of my head over you
I lived so long believin' all love is blind
But everything about you is tellin' me this time

Chorus:
It's forever, this time I know and there's no doubt in my mind
Forever, until my life is thru, girl I'll be lovin' you forever

I hear the echo of a promise I made
When you're strong you can stand on your own
But those words grow distant as I look at your face
No, I don't wanna go it alone
I never thought I'd lay my heart on the line
But everything about you is tellin' me this time

chorus - yeah!

I see my future when I look in your eyes
It took your love to make my heart come alive
Cos I lived my life believin' all love is blind
But everything about you is tellin' me this time

chorus repeats 2x


TAKE IT OFF


I LOVE IT LOUD

Stand up, you don't have to be afraid, get down - love is like a hurricane
Street boy, no I never could be tamed, better believe it

Guilty 'til I'm proven innocent, whiplash, heavy metal accident
Rock on, I wanna be President, 'cos

Chorus:
I love it loud, I wanna hear it loud, right between the eyes
Loud, I wanna hear it loud, I don't want to compromise

Turn it up, hungry for the medicine, two fisted to the very end
No more treated like aliens, we're not gonna take it

chorus repeats 2x

Headlines jungle is the only rule, front page roar of the nation cool
Turn it up, this is my attitude, take it or leave it

chorus repeats out [both lines 'I love it loud, ...']


DETROIT ROCK CITY

I feel uptight on a Saturday night
Nine o' clock, the radio's the only light
I hear my song and it pulls me through
Comes on strong, tells me what I got to do
I got to

Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat
You gotta lose your mind in Detroit Rock City

Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat

Getting late
I just can't wait
Ten o'clock and I know I gotta hit the road
First I drink, then I smoke
Start the car, and I try to make the midnight show

Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat

Movin' fast, doin' 95
Hit top speed but I'm still movin' much too slow
I feel so good, I'm so alive
I hear my song playin' on the radio
It goes

Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat

Twelve o'clock, I gotta rock
There's a truck ahead, lights starin' at my eyes
Oh my God, no time to turn
I got to laugh 'cause I know I'm gonna die
Why

Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get up
Everybody's gonna leave their seat


GOD GAVE ROCK 'N' ROLL TO YOU II

God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul of everyone

Do you know what you want? You don't know for sure
You don't feel right, you can't find a cure
And you're gettin' less than what you're lookin' for

You don't have money or a fancy car
And you're tired of wishin' on a falling star
You gotta put your faith in a loud guitar

Chorus:
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone (oh yeah)
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul of everyone

"Now listen"
If you wanna be a singer, or play guitar
Man, you gotta sweat or you won't get far
Cause it's never too late to work nine-to-five

You can take a stand, or you can compromise
You can work real hard or just fantasize
But you don't start livin' till you realize - "I gotta tell ya!"

God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul

(Instrumental break)

God gave rock and roll to you (to everyone he gave the song to be sung)
Gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to everyone

God gave rock and roll to you (to everyone he gave the song to be sung)
Gave rock and roll to you, saved rock and roll for everyone
Saved rock and roll

chorus repeats out...

"I know life sometimes can get tough! And I know life sometimes can be a drag!
But people, we have been given a gift, we have been given a road
And that road's name is... Rock and Roll!"
