1. Don't Talk To Strangers
Don't talk to strangers
Mmmmh
Don't talk to strangers
'Cause they're only there to do you harm
Don't write in starlight
'Cause the words may come out real
Don't hide in doorways
You may find the key that opens up your soul
Don't go to heaven
'Cause it's really only hell
Don't smell the flowers
They're an evil drug to make you lose your mind
Don't dream of women
'Cause they only bring you down
Hey you, you know me, you've touched me, I'm real
I'm forever the one that lets you look and see and
Feel me
I'm danger - I'm the stranger
And I, I'm darkness, I'm anger, I'm pain
I am master
The evil song you sing inside your brain
Drive you insane
Don't talk
Don't let them inside your mind, yeah
Run away, run away, go!
No - no
Don't let them in your mind
Protect your soul
Don't dance in darkness
You may stumble and you're sure to fall
Don't write in starlight
'Cause the words may come out real
Don't talk to strangers
'Cause they're only there to make you sad
Don't dream of women
'Cause they'll only bring you down
Yeah
Run, run, run, run away!
2. Gypsy
She was straight from Hell
But you never could tell
Cause you were blinded by her light
She could crack your brain
With magic pain
And turn a paler shade of white
(Well) I was on the free
Just me and me
And just about to sail
When I heard the voice
Said you got a choice
The hammer or the nail
You'll be ridin'
You'll be ridin' on the gypsy
Well I rolled the bones
To see who'd own
My mind and what's within
And it's a given rule
That we're all fools
And need to have a little sin
So I'm ridin'
I've been ridin' on the gypsy
On the gypsy queen
She was straight from Hell
But you never could tell
Cause you were blinded by the light
So she cracked my brain
With magic pain
And turned my left around to right, right
So I'm ridin'
Yes I'm ridin'
I'm still ridin' on the gypsy
On the gypsy queen
3. Invisible
If your circle stays unbroken
Then you're a lucky man
Cause it never, never, never has for me
In the palace of the virgin
Lies the chalice of the soul
And it's likely you might find the answer there
She had fourteen years of teenage tears
And never a helping hand
She had fourteen more of rain before
She saw the sight of land
She was a photograph just ripped in half
A smile inside a frown
And the the light, the answer right
Inside her coming down
I can go away
I can leave here
I can be invisible
He was just eighteen and in-between
A lady and a man
His daddie's girl in momma's world
And that was when he ran
You know the word confused has been abused
But that's just what he was
And then the spark inside the dark
The answer came because it said
You can go away
You can leave here
You can be invisible
Well I grew up quick and I felt the kick
Of life upon a stage
So I bought the book and took a fast look
At just the very last page
It was a single word that I'd just heard
From the two that came before
The only way to realle stay
Is to walk right out the door
You can go away
You can leave here
You can be invisible
You can go away
You can leave here
You can be invisible
You can go away
Lord you know it's right to leave here
So I just become invisible
4. Evil Eyes
Hide in the midnight
Turn out the lights, you'll see them anyway
Sail into never, they'll follow wherever you can go
And take you to the places you don't know
It's the call of the city
The way that black's pretty to the purest heart
It's places of pleasure
They promise you treasure if you fly
And then there goes the soul of you and I
Oh do you ever think about
The way I caught the rainbow
I'll be there where fire makes you dance
I'm gonna give you the look
That opens up the skies
I've got Evil Eyes...
Hide in the midnight
Turn out the light, they'll see you anyway
Sail into never, they'll follow wherever you can go
I've got Evil Eyes...
5. Mystery
Can you hear me
Can you see
There's a storm on the edge of the sky
Does it matter
Well, it does to me, and I can tell you why
When there's thunder, there should be rain
But it don't always follow the rule
And is the wise man always right? No he can play the fool
It's always a Mystery, not what it seems to be
It's always a Mystery, just like you and me
We are lightning
We are flame
And we burn at the touch of a spark
If there's fire, but no one sees
There is only the dark
Just imagine, will you try
I can see that you've opened your mind
Silver linings can disappear, but they always shine
It's always a Mystery, not what it seems to be
It's always a Mystery, just like you and me
6. Rock And Roll Children
It was starting to rain
On the night that they first decided
It was blinding with snow
On the night that they ran away
They were found in the dark
But they never returned
Just like somebody slammed the door
She was meant to be wild
He was nearly a child
But they only could feel each other
They were paper and fire
Angel and liar
The devil of one another
Then they were thrown to the ground
Wiht a terrible sound
Just like somebody broke a heart
Rock 'N' Roll Children
Alone again
Rock 'N' Roll Children
Without a friend
But they got Rock 'N' Roll
It was starting to rain
On the night that they cried forever
it was blinding with snow
On the night that they screamed goodbye
They were lost in the dark
And they never returned
Just like somebody slammed the door
On Rock 'N' Roll Children
Alone again
Rock 'N' Roll Children
Without a friend
7. Hungry For Heaven
You're a dancer
But you're dancing on air
Just a matter of time till you fall
You're a dreamer
One night at the fair
But still you want it all
You're in danger
The last of a line
But the vision lasts forever
So just hold on
You can make it happen for you
Reach for the stars and you will fly
You're Hungry for Heaven
Hungry for Heaven
Hungry for Heaven
But you need a little hell
You're a runner
But you're chasing yourself
Feel the hot breath on your shoulder
You're emotion
Running cold running warm
The young just getting older
We are sunlight
We can sparkle and shine
And our dreams are what we're made of
So just hold on
You can make it happen for you
Reach for the stars and you will fly
You're Hungry for Heaven
Hungry for Heaven
Hungry for Heaven
But you need a little hell
8. Dream Evil
All's well at the midnight hour
You're ready to fly
Don't think about the darkness
Or the rumbling in the sky
Somewhere on the morning road
Just waiting for you
Somethings that just could never be
Are calling up a spell so you can see, yeah!
Dream evil
The dark that you find in the back of your mind
Dream evil - Dream evil
Don't go to the edge of rainbows
Don't close your eyes
Like things that can't be real
The truth is really lies
Don't wish on a rising star you should
Open up the door
Where things that just should never be
Are calling up a spell so you can see, yeah!
Dream evil
The dark that you find
Can come out of your mind
Dream evil
Take you away
Oh no it's the midnight hour
Don't leave me alone
Those things that just should never be
Are calling up a spell so you can see
Dream evil
Dream evil
Dream evil
Dream evil
Dream evil
Oh no it's the midnight hour
Don't open the door
Don't go to the edge of rainbows
Don't sleep any more
You'll dream evil
You'll dream evil
You'll dream evil
Dream evil
9. Naked In The Rain
Two faces
On fire
No traces
Something has swallowed the night
You know that nothing can make it all right
Yeah
Like candy
Emotion
Too much and sugar can turn to sand
You scream but nobody touches your hand
Are we just shouting at the pain
Or do we see just what we are
We're naked in the rain
Naked in the rain
Two children
Guns loaded
Take aim and blow all the dreams away
Too late for anything better to say
Hey
Are we just crazy with the pain
Or do we see just what we are
We are naked in the rain
Naked in the rain
Two faces
No fire
No traces, fever has turned to snow
Hearts break to show you the way as you go, ooh
Are we just running from the pain
Or do we see just what we are
We're naked in the rain
Naked in the rain
Naked in the rain
Naked in the rain
Two children
On fire
Emotion
Burns higher
Guns loaded
Blow all the dreams away
Naked in the rain
Naked in the rain
Blinded by the pain
Naked in the rain
10. Hey Angel
How do you feel right now
How does it feel to be alone
How do you feel right now
Tell me
Hey angel - what's your situation
Hey angel - oh, oh
Where would you be right now
Waiting to taste your next tomorrow
Where would you be right now
Tell me
Was the pain too strong to take it anymore
So you turned off all the lights and shut the door
Hey angel - what's your destination
Hey angel
Hey angel - we got a complication
Hey angel - oh, oh - you're my angel, my angel
How do you feel right now
How does it feel to be alone, oh
How do you feel right now
How do you feel right now
Oh angel - you're my angel, oh my angel, ...
11. Between Two Hearts
She never breaks into the conversation
He seems to be the reason why she lives
She tries to be the perfect kind of stranger
But we always seem to love the most
The ones who never give, yeah
It's between two hearts
A personal situation
Between two hearts
The kind of love with a reputation
We never have to ask her why she's crying
The smile she had's been kicked into a frown
But still it makes her day to be his pleasure
Should we open up her eyes
Can we ever break the spell
No one can tell
It's between two hearts
A personal combination
Between too hearts
The kind of love with a bad reputation
Put on your party faces and come along
Join in the big parade
Here comes the camera
Do you look as good as your sister
Smile at the animals
They should be the ones in the cages
Turn the pages
Another way to spend a rainy Sunday
Waiting for a call that never comes
The mystery is how she makes her choices
But don't we always choose
The ones who hide the sun
Everyone
It's between two hearts
Love and desperation
Between two hearts
The kind of love
The kind of love
Between two hearts
A personal situation
Between two hearts
The kind of love with a reputation
12. Lock Up The Wolves
In the houses of the holy
To the middle of the mystic sea
At the cradle of the world
There's a black cat screaming
And it's not even midnight, no
At the cradle of the world
They're screaming for sanctuary
They're screaming at you
Lock up the wolves
Lock up the wolves, yeah, yeah, yeah
Now there's a cloud over heaven
And a pain out of paradise
In your corner of the world
Turn your back on the children
Does it feel like it's colder
In your corner of the world
They're screaming for sanctuary
They're screaming at you
Lock up the wolves
Lock up the wolves, ...
Don't you let'em get away
Lock up the wolves before you play
Or it's over
Lock up the wolves
Don't you let'em get away
Don't you let'em get away
There's no back door to heaven
Just a front door to hell, oh
In this corner of the world
Now if you turn your back on the children
Don't you feel it getting colder
In your corner of the world
They're screaming for sanctuary
They're screaming at you
Lock up the wolves
Lock up the wolves, ...
13. Rainbow In The Dark (live)
When there's lightning - it always bring me down
Cause it's free and I see that it's me
Who's lost and never found
I cry for magic - I feel it dancing in the light
But it was cold - I lost my hold
To the shadows of the night
There's no sign of the morning coming
You've been left on your own
Like a Rainbow in the Dark
Do your demons - do they ever let you go
When you've tried - do they hide -deep inside
Is it someone that you know
You're a picture - just an image caught in time
We're a lie - you and I
We're words without a rhyme
There's no sign of the morning coming
You've been left on your own
Like a Rainbow in the Dark
When there's lightning - it always brings me down
Cause it's free and I see that it's me
Who's lost and never found
Feel the magic -feel it dancing in the air
But it's fear - and you'll hear
It calling you beware
There's no sign of the morning coming
There's no sight of the day
You've been left on your own
Like a Rainbow in the Dark
14. Long Live Rock And Roll (live)
At the end of a dream
If you know what I mean
When the mist just starts to clear
In a similar way
At the end of today
I could feel the sound of writing on the wall
It cries for you
It's the least that you can do
Like a spiral on the wind
I can hear it screamin' in my mind
Long live rock and roll
Long live rock n' roll
Long live rock and roll
In a different time
When the words didn't rhyme
You could never quite be sure
Then on with the change
It was simple but strange
And you knew the feeling seemed to say it all
It cries for you
It's the least that you can do
Like a spiral on the wind
I can hear it screamin' in my mind
Long live rock and roll
Long live rock n' roll
Long live rock and roll
If you suddenly see
What has happened to me
You should spread the word around
And tell everyone here
That it's perfectly clear
They can sail above it all on what they've found
It cries for you
It's the best that you can do
Like a sound that's everywhere
I can hear it screamin' through the air
Long live rock and roll
Long live rock n' roll
Long live rock and roll
15. We Rock (live)
You watch their faces
You'll see the traces
Of the things they want to be
But only we can see
They come for killing
They leave and still it seems
The cloud that's left behind
Oh, can penetrate your mind
But sail on, sing a song, carry on
Cause We Rock, We Rock, We Rock, We Rock
We pray to someone
But when it's said and done
It's really all the same
With just a different name
So many voices
All giving choices
If we listen they will say
Oh, we can find the way
But we'll sail on, sing a song, carry on
Cause We Rock, We Rock, We Rock, We Rock
We Rock, We Rock, We Rock, We Rock
We Rock!
We Rock
You watch their faces
You'll see the traces
Of the things they want to be
But only we can see
They come for killing
They leave and still it seems
The cloud that's left behind
Can penetrate your mind
Sail on, sing a song, carry on
Cause We Rock, We Rock, We Rock, We Rock
We Rock, We Rock, We Rock, We Rock
Ride out - stand and shout - carry on
Sail on - Sing your song - carry on
Cause We Rock, We Rock, see how We Rock
We Rock
That's rock
We Rock
We Rock
