1. Rock N Roller
I ain’t nothing but a rock ‘n’ roller
Wanna hear the angels sing
I am not here to save the world
I can’t change a god damned thing
The lights bring out the best in me
And h-h-hide the rest
You don’t need a key to unlock this
It’s simple as can be
I am not out to fool you, no
What you get is what you see
The lights bring out the best in me
And h-h-hide the rest
Let the noise suck you up
Reel you in, baby
Let it go, don’t hate now
Don’t hate now, it’s waste of time
Yeah yeah yeah
Just trying not to screw up too bad
A somewhat decent man
I just want a piece of the action
And get it on while I can
The lights bring out the best in me
And h-h-hide the rest
Let the noise suck you up
Reel you in, baby
Let it go, don’t hate now
Don’t hate now, it’s waste of time
Yeah yeah yeah
Let the noise suck you up
Reel you in, baby
Let it go, don’t hate now
Don’t hate now
Let the noise suck you up
Reel you in, baby
Let it go, don’t hate now
Don’t hate now, it’s waste of time
Yeah yeah yeah
2. Searching For Something
Some bow down, some crawl
Some stand but they will fall
Hey brother, why bother
They’re posers one and all
And they are all the same
They are all the same
You see
They’ll tell you to follow
With fire in their eyes
They know you, will show you
Some kind of Promised Land
And they are all the same
They are all the same
You see
Yes, they are all the same
They are all the same
Searching for something
To ease the aching
And you heard it all before
Some kind of something
To ease the aching
And you’ll hear it all once more
Time will come when worlds fall
The sun breaks through the dark
They die in the daylight
The are creatures of the night
Searching for something
To ease the aching
Some kind of something
To ease the aching
Searching for something
To ease the aching
Searching for something
To ease the aching
3. Struck By Lightning
Whn I was a young boy
The age of five
I was struck by lightning
And somehow I survived
Later things were clouded
Like they always are
Yeah, things seem so easy
Just before you get involved
Like a ball of fire
I was set ablaze
Yeah, I found my call in life
And it stayed with me ‘till now
Later things were clouded
Like they always are
Yeah, things seem so easy
Just before you get involved
Your ears might decieve you
But your heart knows the real thing
And you know just what’s going on
Sometimes you feel blinded
By the buzz of everything
But that’s all right, yeeeaah
Later things were clouded
Like they always are
Yeah, things seem so easy
Just before you get involved
4. Nothing You Can Do
You turn away
Hide form my eyes
Ask me to leave
Leave you to die
You turn around
Cower in shame
Know this, my friend
Nothing you can do
Can make me hate you
Tell me what’s wrong
Show me the wound
Don’t turn away
Cower in shame
Know this, my friend
Nothing you can do
Can make me hate you
‘Cause I’ve been there
I have done that
And I know just how it feels
I understand, ‘cause I’ve been there
And I know just how it feels
Just how it feels
Just how it feels
Let me into your pain
I won’t regard you with disdain
Let me into your pain
I won’t regard you with disdain
5. I´m A Motel
Let me melt in your smile
The world is cruel and cold
I can wait for a while
But I’ll die when I get old
I am a motel and you can
Stay here for the night
I’ll come check on you
Just to see that you are all right
You are special
And that does it for me
Let’s roll
The dice of you and me
Right now
Ain’t much I am asking for
No!
Let’s get out of here
‘Cause time is running out
We got nothing to loose
‘Cause this is what it’s all about
You are special
And that does it for me
Let’s roll
The dice of you and me
Right now
Ain’t much I am asking for
No!
And I feel so free, yeah
Like a bee I’m buzzing
And if you want me to
Baby, I’ll sting you
So what are we waiting for
Let’s just get butt-naked
Arrh, you want it too!
Let’s roll
The dice of you and me
Right now
Ain’t much, ain’t much I am asking for
I feel so free, yeah
I feel so free, yeah
I feel so free, yeah
I feel so free, yeah
6. One Fine Day
Sing me a song of sorrow
Loneliness and pain
Tell me you’re tired of loosing
Somehow do explain
And I don’t get you
You’re such a fucking itch
I hope you regret
One fine day
Where did you take a wrong turn
Were you led astray
You’ve fallen off the edge
And slowly drift away
And I don’t get you
You’re such a fucking itch
I hope you regret
One fine day
I hope you regret
One fine day
One fine day
One fine day
7. Under The Stars
There is music in the air
And she’s wondering
If tonight is gonna be the night, yeah
With a smile on her face
She’s looking pretty
She is ready and will be all right, yeah
And when she closes the door
She knows she won’t be back
She thinks there is no point in trying
When you just know you will fail
Will you fail?
In the car under the stars
She’s alone now
Looking down the barrel of a gun
With a slow decisive pull of the finger
It is over even before it’s begun, yeah
And then she closes the door
Knowing she won’t be back
She thinks there is no point in trying
When you just know you will fail
And then she closes her door
Knowing she won’t be back
She thinks there’s no point in trying
When you just know you will fail
Will you fail?
8. Sticks And Stones
I have been around the world
And seen things you should not see
My eyes store memories gone insane
And I felt the pain of loss
Been nailed to a golden cross
My skin is scarred but thicker now
Sticks and stones will break my bones
And you can crush my beating heart, I know
But I am still breathing
I drowned in a sea of love
But I didn’t like it above
Felt wrong deep in my heart of hearts
I have been in the arms of hate
I learned but it was too late
So blind but I see clearly now
Sticks and stones will break my bones
And you can crush my beating heart, I know
But I am still breathing
Sometimes I’ve been so loaded
That if the sun exploded
I couldn’t tell the difference
Sometimes I’ve been so high
That if I were to die
I wouldn’t even notice at all
9. If You Were My Dog
If you were my dog
I think I’d take you for a walk right now
A quick spin ‘round the block
And later simply kick back on the couch
You would show me all your tricks
And that’d be great, so good
You’d work your magic, yeah
And that’d be great, so great
I would treat you like a queen, baby
(tell me more, tell me more, baby)
We could play all day and night, pure joy
If you were a highway, baby
I would ride you all day long
We’d take it to the limit, girl
And if we felt like it; beyond
I’d be cruising up and down
And that’d be great, so good, yeah
We burn some rubber, yeah
And that’d be great, so good
I would treat you like a queen, baby
(tell me more, tell me more, baby)
We could play all day and night, pure joy
(pure joy)
I would treat you like a queen
(and I would treat you like a king)
I would treat you like a queen
I would treat you like a queen
10. Clean My Wounds
Don’t bother coming back
When you walk away this time
Seems like we’ve grown apart
Yeah, we awoke with a start
I won’t blow off my head with a shotgun
And not hang myself in the barn
I won’t cut my wrists with a razorblade
Don’t look at me like that
‘Cause there is nothing left to say
Life hurts a bit right now
But it’s better anyway
I won’t blow off my head with a shotgun
And not hang myself in the barn
I won’t cut my wrists with a razorblade
Don’t look at me like that
‘Cause there is nothing left to say
Life hurts a bit right now
But it’s better anyway
I won’t blow off my head with a shotgun
And not hang myself in the barn
I won’t cut my wrists with a razorblade
11. She´s Got Superpowers
I met a girl, yes a very special girl
She just knocked me right off of my feet
With her different kind of chi
And her special way to be
There was simply no place to hide
Now I live in a hole
And the Devil’s got my soul
I tell you I’m no stranger to sin
Yeah, the spell of her beauty
Has me drooling like a dog
I am hooked and I can’t say no
She’s got superpowers
She’s got superpowers
And she’s taking me away
To somewhere but I don’t care - away
Spinning round and round
Now, people say that it’s cold these days
That the last day of summer has passed
And the snow is coming down
Slowly covering the smiles
On the faces of the people walking by
But we all have to play out strings
And this girl, she plays mine just fine
Sweet music in my dick
Is giving me a kick
And the beast is baking bisquits in my brain
She’s got superpowers
She’s got superpowers
Awoken by a dream
Within a dream
What my soul desires
But reason dreads
Just like clashing suns
We burst into flames
Into flames....
She’s taking me away
To somewhere but I don’t care - away
Spinning round and round
Somehow I will get my quality time
12. I Won´t Die Slowly
I’ll ride with the devil in a mustang from Hell
And break the speed of sound
And feel the wind, baby, in my hair
And the heat from the flames on my skin
I’ll ride a brainwave on the planet Mars
And make love under the moons
Enjoy it every step of the way
And leave it through the gate
And I will worship dogfaced gods
I’ll be a supersonic human warhead
And I will detonate
‘Cause I won’t die quietly
(I won’t die quietly)
No, I won’t die quietly
(I won’t die quietly)
You reap what you dow, that’s what they say
And somewhow I think they are right
I’ll beat the drums with my thunderstick
And shout out and dance for rain
I’ll ride a brainwave on the planet Mars
And make love under the moons
Enjoy it every step of the way
And leave through the gate
And I will worship dogfaced gods
I’ll be a supersonic human warhead
I will detonate
‘Cause I won’t die quietly
(I won’t die quietly)
No, I won’t die quietly
(I won’t die quietly)
Watch the sun set one last time
Through the eyes of a scarred man
Give me head until I am dead
And throw me away
(Watch the sun set one last time)
I won’t die quietly
(Through the eyes of a scarred man)
No, I won’t die quietly
(Give me head until I am dead)
I won’t die quietly
(And throw me away)
No, I won’t die quietly, no
