1. I Will Survive
Day after day and night after night
watching the tide rolling in
your feeling o.k., you're feeling alright
that's when the pain rushes in, that's right
The wink of an eye, a turn of the screw
watching the signs passing by
I was so blind, I never knew
she was changing in front of my eyes
I look away, I feel my heart beat faster
it's in her eyes, she's already gone
there's no turning back
I will survive,
I've been down on my knees too long
I will survive,
I'll get back on my feet again
I will survive,
I've been holding on too long
I will survive, I will rise up,
'cause tomorrow is already gone
Like a thief in the night,
she's slipping away
trying to hide from the truth
she'll never say why,
she never knew when
but she's got my heart in a noose
Hide away,
she don't wanna hear that I love her
walk away, she's already gone,
she may never come back
I will survive,
I've been down on my knees too long
I will survive,
I'll get back on my feet again
I will survive,
I've been holding on too long
I will survive, I will rise up,
'cause tomorrow is already gone
[Solo]
Look away, I feel my heart beat faster
it's in her eyes, her loving is gone
there's no turning back
I will survive,
I've been down on my knees too long
I will survive,
I'll get back on my feet again
I will survive,
I've been holding on too long
I will survive, I will rise up, I will rise up
I will survive, hm yeah, I will survive
I will survive,
I've been down on my knees,
I've been down in the dirt babe too long
I will survive, I've been holding on,
I've been holding on too long
I will survive,
I gotta, I gotta, I gotta let it go
I will survive
2. Nasty Reputation
Can you see me racing down the highway
can you see me walking on the moon
no one cares, I'm gonna do it my way
I don't care, I'm breaking all the rules
I see the fire, the flame is burning bright
I'm a live wire,
I don't know what's wrong or right
I've got a nasty reputation
from town to town
you know we came to rock the nation
oh oo oh
Can you hear me screaming on the TV,
yeaah
I wanna see you rockin'to the show
anyway, I never take it easy
anyday, I'm ready to explode
I've got the action,
and you can't slow me down
it's a chain reaction,
I'm gonna turn you upside down
I've got a nasty reputation
it's all around
you know I came to rock the nation
I've got a nasty reputation
from town to town
you know I came to rock the nation
rock me
3. Fighting the Law
She's only fifteen and she drives you nuts
She's walking down the Lane
and you're going insane
Her eyes like the sun in the sky, oh
they're blinding your heart and your mind
Fighting the law
Fighting the law, you've gotta let go
Fighting the law
Fighting the law, oh no!
She's wild and willing,
but she don't understand
a touch of evil, and it's out of your hands
she shines like the sun in the sky,
oh yeah
she's blinding your heart and your mind
Fighting the law
Fighting the law, you've got to let go
you've got to escape
Fighting the law
Fighting the law oh no!
you're caught in a rage
Fighting the law
Fighting the law, you've got to let go
you've got to escape
Fighting the law
Fighting the law oh no
you're caught in a rage
4. Wanted Man
There I was a dirty boy,
a stranger in this town
there you were a broken toy,
lost and never found
watch out, here comes the judge
can't tell by the others
reach out, but you're not there
better run for cover
man on a mission, I'm ready to rock
locked in position, I'm never gonna stop
I'm on the run down the highway
I'm a wanted man
you better stay out of my way
run as fast as you can
Draw the line ain't got no time,
when all is said and done
Fell the heat down on the street,
looking for some fun
Hold out, it's not too late
take my revenge
Hold on and get it straight
Living on the edge
man on a mission, I'm ready to rock
Locked in position, I'm never gonna stop
I'm on the run down the highway
I'm a wanted man
you better stay out of my way
run as fast as you can
I'm on the run down the highway
I'm a wanted man
you better stay out of my way
run as fast as you can
5. When a Blind Man Cries
If you're leaving, close the door
I'm not expecting people any more
Hear me grieving, I'm lying on the floor
whether I'm drunk or dead
I really ain't too sure
I'm a blind man
I'm a blind man
and my world is pale
when a blind man cries
Lord you know, there ain't no sadder tale
Had a friend once, in a room
Had a good time,
but it ended much too soon
In a cold month, in that room
we found a reason for the things
we had to do
I'm a blind man
I'm a blind man
now my room is cold
when a blind man cries
Lord you know, he feels it from his soul
6. Land of the Giants
Is this a dream or a fantasy come true
voices in the night,
they are calling me and you
Long way to nowhere,
in the hot desert sand
from far away,
I can see the promised land
Someone whispers
in the darkness of the night
Shadows on the wall,
a flame that's shining bright
In the land of the Giants
In the land of the Giants
Faces in the mirror,
lost and can't escape
Like an animal who's lonely,
Locked up in a cage
riding on the edge, open up the gate
See the world of lost horizons
time is running late
Someone whispers
in the darkness of the night
Shadows on the wall,
a star is shining bright
In the land of the Giants
In the land of the Giants
7. Firewall
You're crossing the line,
running with the devil
You're out of control
I'm begging you please
baby come back to me
don't want to let go
a shot in the air cuts through the night
searching for danger
You're hungry for sin,
you got no chance to win
screaming for vengeance
Scratching my heart,
you're scratching my soul
I still don't know, which way to go
Like a firewall, love came down
Like a firewall, crashing to the ground
Like a firewall, love came down
Like a firewall, silence is the sound
I'm crying for mercy, gimme some more
gonna even the score
wheels are turning, my mind's yearning
I can't take anymore
scratching my heart, scratching my soul
I still don't know, which way I should go
Like a firewall, love came down
Like a firewall, crashing to the ground
Like a firewall, love came down
Like a firewall, silence is the sound
Like a firewall
Like a firewall
8. Unchain the Thunder
They disappear right before my eyes
all my dreams and the love of my life
oh no I feel the shock and the danger
no way can't find no love with a stranger
war and peace you know
there ain't no rules
look out, it turns lovers to fools
down on my luck
now out of deep frustration
I'm lost in desperation
oh no, can't get enough of your show
oh no, I don't know where to go
Unchain the thunder, let the lightning strike
Unchain the thunder,
let the lightning strike tonight
Feels so right when I'm in your spell
let me know if it's heaven or hell
oh, take a walk on the wild side
come on in from the outside
gimme your way, control the situation,
now I'm in a new creation
oh no, can't get enough of your show
oh no, I still don't know where to go
unchain the thunder,
let the lightning strike
unchain the thunder, feels so right
unchain the thunder, feed my appetite
unchain the thunder,
let the lightning strike tonight
unchain the thunder
unchain the thunder,
let the lightning strike
unchain the thunder, feels so right
unchain the thunder, stay with me tonight
unchain the thunder, feed my appetite
unchain the thunder,
let the lightning strike tonight
walk on the wild side
come on in from the outside
let the lightning strike tonight
