1. Missing in action
( R. Pierce / J. K. / F. Rose / F. Morisette )
Well he lost his mind behind enemy lines,
Always running, always under fire
Taken prisoner in a land of dreams
That was a nightmare in disguise
Never been so scared, so filled with pain,
His life passed before his eyes
No one thought that he would be the one
To surrender to all their lies
That's why you're
Missing in action
Don't you know that I won't let you go
(You're) Missing in action
Don't you know that I won't let you be
Missing in action
Don't you know that I won't let you go, no
Missing in action
Don't you know that I will never let you go
He was taken by surprise, he was paralyzed,
Losing all his will to live
He told them all everything he knew,
Till there was nothing more left to give
Locked alone in an empty room,
His plans are finally made
In the glaring light of a single flame,
Reality begins to fade
That's why you're
Missing in action
Don't you know that I won't let you go
(You're) Missing in action
Don't you know that I won't let you be
Missing in action
Don't you know that I won't let you go, no
Missing in action
Don't you know that I will never let you go
The kiss of death lingers on his lips,
He's headed for an early grave
Cause the end of a needle and a rusty spoon
Are the only life he has to crave
I can see he's a casualty
Of a freedom that's never free
He's a missing person in a sea of dreams,
Dreams not meant to be
That's why you're
Missing in action
Don't you know that I won't let you go
(You're) Missing in action
Don't you know that I won't let you be
Missing in action
Don't you know that I won't let you go, no
Missing in action
Don't you know that I will never let you go
2. Lonely lady
( F. Rose / J. K. )
This is the challenge of a lifetime - lifetime
I saw her standing in the cold - twilight
She's never been in love
She always gave it all away
Lonely lady, lonely lady,
Lady on my mind
This is no ordinary love affair - love affair
Her memories she tries to hide - inside of her
She's never been in love
She always gave it all away
Lonely lady, lonely lady,
Lady on my mind
I give her everything and all my love - all my love
This is a perfect chance to show - all of them
She's never been in love
She always gave it all away
Lonely lady, lonely lady,
Lady on my mind
3. Steel the light
( F. Rose / J. K. / E. Sheeley )
Fallen angels and fallen dreams
Pay the price of mystery
The gods declared that man lived by night
And never shall they see the light
But in the heart of one deemed pure
Came the challenge of the fight
To return the days of gold
He must try to steal the light
Steel the light!
Steel the light!
Steel the light!
Turning darkness into light
The gods have hidden well the golden sun
Inside the lands of the evil one
He walked the maze of the endless blight
Passed empty rooms where sirens cried
Close at hand his destiny
He feels the power of the light
And as the shadow falls on him
Draws his blade to face the night
Steel the light!
Steel the light!
Steel the light!
Turning darkness into light
Steel the light!
Steel the light!
Steel the light!
Turning darkness into light
The clash of steel was heard across the seas
Like no time in history
The dark one blinded by the sword of light
The final blow did take his life
Walked in silence to the golden door
Threw it open to the night
There in his hands our hopes and dreams
That this day would steel the light
Steel the light!
Steel the light!
Steel the light!
Turning darkness into light
Turning darkness into light
Take the darkness from our lives
Turn the darkness into light
4. Pull the trigger
( F. Rose / J. K. )
Get ready to meet your maker
Make a date with the undertaker
You got your money, now let's get some action
No mistakes, you're a trained assassin
Loaded guns got you in his sight
Pulls the trigger, he's cold as ice
Pull the trigger
Pull the trigger
Pull the trigger
You realize that there's no one like him
Steely eyes in the darkness coming
He's got a secret and a reputation
His only goal is your termination
Loaded guns got you in his sight
Pulls the trigger, he's cold as ice
Pull the trigger
Pull the trigger
Pull the trigger
Gun is hot with a killing fire
No other game can take him higher
Steady now there'll be no exception
He's your guide to the last reception
Loaded guns got you in his sight
Pulls the trigger, he's cold as ice
Pull the trigger
Pull the trigger
Pull the trigger
Shoot!
Shoot!
5. Ain't no way to treat a lady
( F. Rose / J. K. )
She was just sixteen, she was so sweet and clean
She walked like she knew where she's been
She set my blood on fire, I said are you for hire?
That's when she turned on me and screamed
That ain't no way to treat a lady
That ain't no way to treat a lady
She had a southern smile and a New York style
I couldn't let her get away
She was the girl of my dreams because I was mean
I had to listen to her say
That ain't no way to treat a lady
That ain't no way to treat a lady
I had to have her bad, but she'd left me mad
That ain't the way it should be
I'm gonna find that girl, take her around the world
I'm gonna love her till she she screams
That ain't no way to treat a lady
That ain't no way to treat a lady
Don't tell me what to do!
That ain't no way to treat a lady
That ain't no way to treat a lady
To treat a lady, to treat a lady, to treat a lady
6. In the night
( F. Rose / J. K. / M. Rain )
Street lights flicker around my town
When day turns to night that's when I come around
Streets are cold and damp from a midnight rain
Buildings saggin' from the years of pain
Cause I need the feeling
Of living in the night
Well you can have your security
I'll keep on living in the night
Everybody's workin' in the light of the day
I know what I like
Is living in the night
Down on the corner sits a black and white
Got the man in the back and they're readin' his rights
I slip down the alley just to stay out of sight
Looks like the law is gonna miss me tonight
Cause I need the feeling
Of living in the night
When the streets are cold
My blood runs hot in the night
Everybody's workin' in the light of the day
I know what I like
Is living in the night
Another night I spent alone
Embraced by darkness and its hidden sounds
I turn my blinds against the light
And wait again the coming of the night
Well you can have your security
I'll keep on living in the night
Well I need the feeling
Of living in the night
7. Come and gone
( F. Rose / F. Morisette )
Our love has come and gone
I've been loving you too long
I feel so lonely in your arms
And our love is almost gone
I've grown tired of your kiss
And our loving I won't miss
Our love has come and gone
I've been loving you too long
Our love has come and gone
Been loving you too long
I felt so close to you
You felt so close to me
I'll never lose those memories
Of how we loved so tenderly
Now our love has gone away
And there's nothing left to say
Our love has come and gone
I've been loving you too long
Our love has come and gone
Been loving you too long
You're always on the run
Won't be here when you come
I've waited oh so long
But our love has come and gone
Our love has come and gone
I've been loving you too long
Our love has come and gone
Been loving you too long
8. Rock on
( R. Pierce / J. K. / F. Rose )
Lately I've been thinkin' about my life
Tryin' to figure out what I could do
I was born without a father, lived without my mother
I had no desire for the silver spoon
But like so many of the others
Living under cover
There's only one thing that I really want to do
I wanna rock on, rock on!
I'm gonna get my chance tonight!
I wanna rock on, rock on!
I wanna rock till the day I die!
Someday you will look up here
See me on the stage and say
Hey, I used to know that guy!
I wonder if he remembers tellin' me that one day
His name would be up in the lights
But like so many of the others
Living under cover
There's only one thing that I really want to do
I wanna rock on, rock on!
I'm gonna get my chance tonight!
I wanna rock on, rock on!
I wanna rock till the day I die!
wanna rock on, rock on!
I'm gonna get my chance tonight!
I wanna rock on, rock on!
I wanna rock till the day I die!
9. Teenage runaway
( F. Rose / J. K. )
Some of you may have high hopes
You fill your heads with dreams, it ain't no joke
You're waiting for that time you're on your own
You think that it's a crime that you're unknown
Someday you may be a teenage runaway
Someday you may be a teenage runaway
You can't wait to start on your own
You're not scared of being alone
You want to be a star, hear the people scream your name
And you can't bear the thought of never having fame
Someday you may be a teenage runaway
Someday you may be a teenage runaway
In your dreams you've got it made
All you worked for finally paid
But wait a minute, you're not dreaming
Ten thousand people as one screaming
Every day you bought those magazines
That told you all about the Rock' n' Roll scene
You had to imagine your face on every page
You can't help thinking about all the times you've paid
Someday you may be a teenage runaway
Someday you may be a teenage runaway
10. Nothing ventured - nothing gained (bonus track)
( F. Rose / J. K. )
I got a hunger, a feeling that can't be fed
For the good looks and the charms of a woman
A woman dressed in red
My body hurts, my heart it aches
My hands a quiver, my knees start to shake
If she's feeling nasty I've got good news
She's not alone just stand in my shoes
Nothing ventured - nothing gained
Nothing ventured - nothing gained
When I needed money, they told me go find a job
So I gave it a try, worked all day like a dog
My body hurts, my heart it aches
My hands a quiver, my knees start to shake
When I walk out, I never go back
If that makes you sorry, just stop in your tracks
Nothing ventured - nothing gained
Nothing ventured - nothing gained
Nothing ventured - nothing gained
Nothing ventured - nothing gained
I had a friend, his head always in the sky
One day he said to me, c'mon and give this stuff a try
My body hurts, my heart it aches
My hands a quiver, my knees start to shake
That stuff hit me so bad, I'll never be the same
But what does it matter cause I'm always game
Nothing ventured - nothing gained
Nothing ventured - nothing gained
11. She's a dancer - demo (bonus track)
( F. Rose / J. K. )
Now here's a story about a lady
You know she's one of a kind
She works a nightclub in the city
But she doesn't really seem to mind
She makes me hot when she takes it off
She's a dancer, midnight romancer
Yeah, she'll steal your heart when she takes it off
She's a dancer, midnight romancer
She's a dancer, midnight romancer
She'll take your money because she needs to
But she wants to be a star of the screen
I've seen her leaving with all her lovers
To her it's just the same old thing
She makes me hot when she takes it off
She's a dancer, midnight romancer
Yeah, she'll steal your heart when she takes it off
She's a dancer, midnight romancer
She's a dancer, midnight romancer
So that's the story about the lady
Who does it for me night till dawn
She makes you love her like no other
You know you're gonna miss her when she's gone
She makes me hot when she takes it off
She's a dancer, midnight romancer
Yeah, she'll steal your heart when she takes it off
She's a dancer, midnight romancer
She's a dancer, midnight romancer

You think too hard but the answer's simple

I got to know now, bady you must decide
Cause I'm waiting, waiting for your love
Cause I'm waiting, waiting for your love
When the time comes, I hope you're ready
Make your mind up, try not to cry
I'll take it easy, I'll make you feel it
When you know there can be no compromise
Cause I'm waiting, waiting for your love
Cause I'm waiting, waiting for your love
I've made my mind up
I'm gonna have you
Cause I don't care what your best friend will say
You're what I need to set my life free
You know what it takes to make me stay
Cause I'm waiting, waiting for your love
Cause I'm waiting, waiting for your love
