1. Screams In The Night
Waiting and waiting until it was done
It shined like a star and burned like the sun
Nowhere to hide and there’s nowhere to run
Trust in one’s lies now damage is done
After the fact there’ll be no turning back
I stayed to fight, now there’s screams in the night
Meet in the canyon and miss not a word
Know what you know – never trust that you heard
Don’t turn your back or the wolves will attack
I stayed to fight, now there’s screams in the night
What can you do?
What can you do?
What can you do?
What can we do?
Meet in the canyon and miss not a word
Know what you know – never trust that you heard
After the fact there’ll be no turning back
I stayed to fight, now there’s screams in the night
Screams in the night
Screams in the night
Night!
2. Bad Attitude
Morning comes much too soon
I’m lying in a heap
My head is pounding, my body’s aching
I want to go back to sleep
Don’t tell me how to live my life
It never worked for you
Cuz if you practiced what you said
You wouldn’t be here too
I’m going crazy, I get excited
Out of my mind and out of control
Don’t you try to tell me what to do or say
I’m right on time – late every day
I got a bad attitude
Stubborn as a mule
Ain’t nobody’s fool
I got a bad attitude
That’s what they say, yeah
I got a bad attitude
I got a dream
One day I’m gonna make it real
Don’t want to work from nine to five
That’s just a losing deal
I’m going crazy, I get excited
Out of my mind and out of control
Don’t you try to tell me what to do or say
I’m right on time – late every day
I got a bad attitude
Stubborn as a mule
Ain’t nobody’s fool
I got a bad attitude
That’s what they say, yeah
I got a bad attitude
Stubborn as a mule
Ain’t nobody’s fool
I got a bad attitude
That’s what they say
That’s what they say
I got a bad, bad, bad, bad, bad attitude
I got a bad, yeah, I got a bad, yeah
3. Better Off Dead
You’ve been out the whole night long
Putting on a show
I’m waiting alone
You haven’t come home
My head is gonna blow
It’s been hours since you’ve been gone
But you’re never satisfied
I know where you were last night
I know that you lied
You’d better learn
But you don’t even hear one word I’ve said
You’d better learn or you’ll find out
That you’d be better off dead
Better off dead
Don’t you see
You ain’t fooling me
Better off dead
Better off dead
If you mess around with me
You’d be better off dead
I think you should know by now
But you’re never satisfied
I know where you were last night
I know that you lied
Some things never seem to change
You alway leave a clue
See the magick disappear
What are you gonna do
You’d better learn
But you don’t even hear one word I’ve said
You’d better learn or you’ll find out
That you’d be better off dead
Better off dead
Don’t you see
You ain’t fooling me
Better off dead
Better off dead
If you mess around with me
You’d be better off dead
Better off dead
You ain’t fooling me
Better off dead
Better off dead
If you mess around with me
Better off, better of dead
Don’t mess with me
If you mess around with me
You’d be better off dead
4. Upside Down Guitar Solo / The Hand
Here I am like the gypsy said
Several years before
Inside my hand lies my destiny
It lead me to your door
Don’t ask me why
I do not know
I’m finding it hard to believe
The lines in my hand’s where my future lies
But Lord am I being decieved
The secret pact the leaders kept
Hath brought war to the land
Just like the words that the gypsy spoke
This is where I stand
Don’t ask me why
I do not know
I’m finding it hard to believe
The lines in my hand’s where my future lies
But Lord am I being decieved
What can you do when your life’s on the line
Like the gypsy had planned
You’ve got to make it your way
No matter what they say
Don’t be a slave to the hand
You’ve got to understand the hand
5. Explode
Riding with the boys tonight
Cranking up the tunes
Got the stuff to make me feel alright
Don’t want to lose it
Looking for a victim
Spot the way it moves
Once I got him cornered
Don’t want to lose it
I know it’s hard for you
To realize I’m lighted
Can you see the passion in me
Is rising high
Can you feel the heat?
Explode
Got to do it now
Explode
Shifting into overdrive
Let the lightning strike
Got the neon magic and we
Don’t want to lose it
Racing with the moment
Winning at the game
Don’t you try to stop me
Cuz we don’t want to lose it
I know it’s hard for you
To realize I’m lighted
Can you see the passion in me
Is rising high
Can you feel the heat?
Explode
Got to do it now
Explode
Can you feel it?
Feel it now
Can you feel it?
Feel it now
Explode
Explode
6. Easy Action
Here he comes walking in
Looking good tonight
He’s got someone on his arm
To the left and to the right
Oh, he’s got his licks down
When he plays it drives them wild
Oh yeah, I ain’t lying
Oh, he ain’t trying
What’s it gonna be tonight?
Give him one more night
He’s got easy action
Give him one more night
He’s got easy action
Here she comes walking tall
She’s got her eyes on you
She ain’t got no axe to grind
But she’s got the moves
Oh, she’s got your number
And she’d really like to play
Oh yeah, I ain’t lying
Oh, she ain’t trying
She knows how to get her way
Give her one more night
She’s got easy action
Give her one more night
She’s got easy action
Here we go one more time
You want to see us play
We like to be rocking
Anywhere or time of day
You want it now
You want to get it hot
You like the feeling cuz
It makes you rock
You’re playing hard-rocking through the night
We’ll be rocking in the morning light
Give us one more night
We’ve got easy action
Give us one more night
We’ve got easy action
He’s got easy
She’s got easy
We’ve got easy action
He’s got easy
She’s got easy
We’ve got easy action
7. Put The Hammer Down
Long ago the story starts
You knew it all too well
Trust the fools with secrets
And the world is theirs to tell
You’ve got one thing left to do
You’d better do it right
Take a breath, prepare yourself
Get ready for a fight
To put the hammer down
You put the hammer down
You put the hammer down, down
Sick and tired of being told
Exactly what to do
I’ve had enough of hearing lies
They’re coming all from you
You’ve got one thing left to do
You’d better do it right
Take a breath, prepare yourself
Get ready for a fight, fight
To put the hammer down
You put the hammer down
You put the hammer down, down
You’ve got to, got to, got to put it down
Best keep your eyes open
Someone’s coming from behind
Even creeping shadows
Weigh heavy on your mind
You’ve got one thing left to do
You’d better do it right
Take a breath, prepare yourself
Get ready for a fight
To put the hammer down
You put the hammer down
You put the hammer down
You put the hammer down
Where you gonna put it?
Down
Where you gonna put it?
Down
Down
8. Stick 'Em (drum solo)
9. Children Of The night
Trapped into the silence
Is where you’ll never be
A rebel with a cause
Opposing forced conformity
Oh, they’ll try to put you down
But you’ll stand up and fight
Don’t you let them stop you
You’re children of the night
Children of the night
Forced into a schedule
And formed into a mold
They tried to make a robot
But they’re losing all control
Oh, they’ll try to put you down
But you’ll stand up and fight
Don’t you let them stop you
You’re children of the night
Children of the night
Mix with fire and anger
The beast within comes out
He’s burning up inside you
He’s clawing to get out
Oh, they’ll try to put you down
But dreams are in your sight
Don’t you let them stop you
You’re children of the night
Children of the night
Oh, they gotta fight
Children of the night
Children of the night
10. The Tower Of Air
Lessons learned
He knew them well
Trap the fools
With threats of spells
Eyes of fire long ago
To the Lady secrets told
Oh, don’t you know
That your magick can trap you?
Oh, won’t you see
When time’s standing still
In the forrest
Through the night
His screams are heard
To her delight
But no one knows or seems to care
When you are trapped in a tower of air
Oh, don’t you know
Your magick can trap you?
Oh, don’t you see
There ain’t nothing you can do!
For the love you could not share
Now you’re trapped in a tower of air
Oh, don’t you know
That your magick can trap you?
Oh, won’t you see
When time’s standing still
By the power vested in me
I turn your nightmares to reality!
See the tower, it’s rising high
There’s no escape
Now that you’re trapped inside
Oh, don’t you know
Your magick can trap you?
Oh, don’t you see
There ain’t nothing you can do!
For the love you would not share
And the times you could not care
Now you’re trapped in a tower of air
