1. Crazy World
I get up in the morning
For my dose of the news
Crawl right back in the sack girl
Had enough of the truth
Spend your dollars and rubels
Buy a piece of the wall
Build it up in your backyard
I'm so sick of it all
Ooh, it's a crazy world
Ooh, it's a crazy world
Drivin' down to the city
Doin' 155
Better late than never
I'm more dead than alive
We can find the Titanic
Put a man on the moon
But we can't fix out backyard
Man we better start soon
Ooh, it's a crazy world
Ooh, it's a crazy world
Ooh, it's a crazy world
Ooh, it's a crazy world
I don't want to hear about it
I wish it would be worlds away
You know the more I think about it
The more I feel we need to change
I get up (In a crazy, crazy world)
We all live (In a crazy, crazy world)
Ooh yeah (It's a crazy, crazy world)
I gotta get out (Of this crazy, crazy world)
Goin' home to my baby
It's been another hard day
Bust my balls for the tax man
So what else can I say
They spent our money on missiles
For the third world war
Now they're stacked in my backyard
We don't need them no more
Ooh, it's a crazy world
Ooh, it's a crazy world
Ooh, it's a crazy world
Ooh, it's a crazy world
2. Alien Nation
In the heat of the violence
the night's exploding everywhere
when hate pulls the trigger
the devil comes to take his share
in the Garden of Eden
the time is running out so fast
into the heart of the demon
with no escape our die is cast
Bridge:
In the city of angels
death is just a moment away
in the city of angels
your future won't see the light of the day
Chorus:
Beware of the alien nation
beware of the truth that they seek
they pray for eternal salvation
they pray for your soul to keep
On the eve of destruction
a reign of terror rules the streets
when the heads start rolling
the devil comes to let it bleed
Bridge:
In the city of angels
death is just a moment away
in the city of angels
your future won't see the light of the day
Chorus:
Walk on past the alien nation
walk on to the end of your reach
no fear of the alien nation
no fear of the hatred they preach
Don't run, there's no place to hide
today or tomorrow it will get you
don't move, the knife is right at your throat
and whatever you do, there's no way out
when the shroud comes down on this place
to bury us all alive
we'll know the time has come, to face the heat
Chorus:
Beware of the alien nation
beware of the truth that they seek
they pray for eternal salvation
they pray for your soul to keep
Walk on past the alien nation
walk on to the end of your reach
they pray for your eternal damnation
they pray for your soul to keep
3. Tease Me Please Me
I've been around the world
I've known a lot of girls
Livin' and lovin'
It's hard to keep them all in line
I've seen a lot of sights
Many crazy nights
Cruisin' and boozin'
It's a wonder that I'm still alive
Never wasted any time
Never missed a beat
Total satisfaction
Always guaranteed
Tease me
Please me
No one needs to know
Tease me
Please me
Before I have to go
Spead the world around
The boys are back in town
Reelin' and rockin'
We're rollin' with it win or lose
The girls are dressed to kill
Lookin' for a thrill
Slidin' and glidin'
Sometimes they make it hard to choose
I never wasted any time
Never missed a beat
Total satisfaction
Always guaranteed
Tease me
Please me
No one needs to know
Tease me
Please me
Before I have to go
Tease me
Please me
We'll take it nice and slow
Tease me
Please me
Just let the feeling grow
4. No Pain No Gain
Face in the gutter eyes on the floor
knocked down twice can't take it no more
you got no vision in your head
you got no vision better dead
get on your feet open the door
walk on down you know the score
it's a dead-end street back to the wall
get it together you can get it all
Bridge:
The weak will fall the strong remain
Chorus:
No pain no gain
No time for losers you make the call
believe in yourself stand tall
another day it's in your hand
you can be the winner in the end
Bridge:
The weak will fall the strong remain
Chorus:
No pain no gain
Keep runnin' don't look back
Keep movin' don't straight ahead
Keep goin' don't ever stop
there's time to rest the day you'll drop
Bridge:
You roll the dice you play the game
The weak will fall the strong remain
Chorus:
No pain no gain
5. In Trance (live)
I wake up in the morning
and the sun begins to shine
the day did sneak up on the night
I see your face and I see myself
and I get a little taste of life
I try to stand it for a while
But I'm in a trance
Hey baby tell me can't you hear me calling
I'm in a trance
I take too much in the Saturday night
Hey... Hey
Hey baby tell me can't you hear me calling
I'm in a trance
I wanna try to stop this life
I feel so sad I'm feeling down
On the radio the music plays
I'm in love with her and I feel fine
I close my eyes
I think today is getting better with a sip of wine
and I can stand it for a while
When I'm in a trance
Hey baby tell me can't you hear me calling
I'm in a trance
I take too much in the Saturday night
Hey... Hey
Hey baby tell me can't you hear me calling
I'm in a trance
I wanna try to stop this life
I'm in a trance
Hey baby tell me can't you hear me caling
I'm in a trance
I take too much in the Saturday night
Hey...Hey
Hey baby tell me can't you hear me calling
I'm in a trance
I wanna try to stop this life
6. Hit Between The Eyes
Late at night when you're all alone
Take a ride to the danger zone
If someone wants to cut you down to size
You never argue with a loaded .45
Just when you've had enough
It's really getting tough
I'm ready for that hit between the eyes
Someone get me out of here alive
I'm ready for that hit between the eyes
Can't you see I'm much too young to die
You can feel the tension in the street
There's no escape, getting closer to the heat
You play with fire, get your fingers burned
It's too late, past the point of no return
Just when you've had enough
It's really getting tough
I'm ready for that hit between the eyes
Someone get me out of here alive
I'm ready for that hit between the eyes
Can't you see I'm much too young to die
Late at night when you're all alone
Take a ride to the danger zone
If someone wants to cut you down to size
You never argue with a loaded .45
Just when you've had enough
It's really getting tough
I'm ready for that hit between the eyes
Someone get me out of here alive
I'm ready for that hit between the eyes
Can't you see I'm much too young to die
I'm ready for that hit between the eyes
Someone get me out of here alive
I'm ready for that hit between the eyes
Can't you see I'm much too young to die
7. Under The Same Sun
I saw the morning
it was shattered by a gun
heard a scream, saw him fall, no one cried
I saw a mother
she was praying for her son
bring him back, let him live, don't let him die
Bridge:
Do you ever ask yourself
is there a heaven in the sky
why can't we get it right
Chorus:
'cause we all live under the same sun
we all walk under the same moon
then why, why can't we live as one
I saw the evening
fading shadows one by one
we watch the lamb, lay down to the sacrifice
I saw the children
how they wept, how they bled, how they died
Bridge:
Do you ever ask yourself
is there a heaven in the sky
why can't we stop the fight
Chorus:
'cause we all live under the same sun
we all walk under the same moon
then why, why can't we live as one
Sometimes I think I'm going mad
we're losing all we had and no one seems to care
but in my heart it doesn't change
we've got to rearrange and bring our world some love
Bridge:
And does it really matter
if there's a heaven up above
we sure could use some love
Chorus:
'cause we all live under the same sun
we all walk under the same moon
then why, why can't we live as one
'cause we all live under the same sun
we all walk under the same moon
then why, tell me why can't we live as one
8. Lonely Nights
Since you're gone
There is an empty space
Since you're gone
The world is not the same
Bridge:
I go back to the places we've been
It feels like you're still there
I live all those moments again
Wishing you were here
Since you're gone
There is an lonely heart
Since you're gone
Nothin' is like it was
Bridge:
There are memories all over the place
Bringin' it back all so clear
Remember all of those days
Wishing you were here
Chorus:
All those lonely nights
I gotta fight for you, yes I do
Yes I do
Since you're gone
There is a heart that bleeds
Since you're gone
I'm not the man I used to be
Bridge:
I follow you steps in the snow
The traces disappear
We know what we've lost when it's gone
I'm wishing you were here
Chorus:
All those lonely nights
I gotta fight for you, yes I do
Yes I do
9. Send Me An Angel
The wise man said just walk this way
To the dawn of the light
The wind will blow into your face
As the years pass you by
Hear this voice from deep inside
It's the call of your heart
Close your eyes and your will find
The passage out of the dark
Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star
The wise man said just find your place
In the eye of the storm
Seek the roses along the way
Just beware of the thorns
Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star
The wise man said just raise your hand
And reach out for the spell
Find the door to the promised land
Just believe in yourself
Hear this voice from deep inside
It's the call of your heart
Close your eyes and your will find
The way out of the dark
Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star
Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star
10. Ship Of Fools
Another bloody Monday
Thirty-nine Just died
All hell breaks loose in the crowd
A hopeless helter skelter
Another mindless crime
Some corner of the world is burning down
Bridge:
Heading for a nervous breakdown
Can't take it anymore
I see the fear explode just like
A thousant nights before
Chorus:
The ship of fools
Keeps on rollin' through a deadly storm
It won't take long 'till we collide
The ship of fools
Keeps on following the siren's call
Damned to be sacrificed
Corrupt politicians
Promise paradise
The thieves are reaching out for the crown
Violence is a killer
Threatens all our lives
Judgment day has come here and now
Bridge:
Heading for a nervous breakdown
Can't take it anymore
I see the fear explode just like
A thousant nights before
Chorus:
The ship of fools
Keeps on rollin' through a deadly storm
It won't take long 'till we collide
The ship of fools
Keeps on following the siren's call
Damned to be sacrificed
11. Restless Nights
Blackout in London
Just slip'n slide
Blackout in London
I'm just about to lose my mind
Big time in Paris
Time's gonna fly
Big time in Paris
It's c'est la vie for me tonight
Here I go
To take the one and only road I know
In my life
Here I go
Another place to bare my heart and soul
Restless nights
Hot shot in Dallas
A wild horse to ride
Hot shot in Dallas
I don't know how but I survived
Rock hard in Rio
Pure sex and crime
Rock hard in Rio
It's just too much to take tonight
Here I go
To take the one and only road I know
In my life
Here I go
Another place to bare my heart and soul
Restless nights
Red hot in Moscow
Turn back the tide
Red hot in Moscow
The eagle rocks the bear tonight
Die hard in Tokyo
Lexington nights
Die hard in Tokyo
I barely made it out alive
Here I go
To take the one and only road I know
In my life
Here I go
Another place to bare my heart and soul
Restless nights
12. Lust Or Love
The innocence is gone
But still I'm holding on
Searchin' for love that lasts forever
Lookin' for a place
Where love can hide away
Takin' a chance it's now or never
Maybe it's time to draw the line
There's just one thing that's on my mind
Is it lust, is it love
Whatever it is I can't get enough
Is it lust, is it love
When I look around tell me who can I trust
Is it love
Lovers come and go
Sometimes it's hard to know
If this will be a night to treasure
When the damage has been done
And the hurting has begun
You'll justify a moment's pleasure
Maybe it's time to draw the line
There's just one thing that's on my mind
Is it lust, is it love
Whatever it is I can't get enough
Is it lust, is it love
It ain't nothin' that I can't rise above
Is it lust, is it love
When I look around tell me who can I trust
Is it love
Lust or love
Maybe it's time to draw the line
There's just one thing that's on my mind
Is it lust, is it love
Whatever it is I can't get enough
Is it lust, is it love
It ain't nothin' that I can't rise above
Is it lust, is it love
Still lookin' for more, it's never enough
Is it lust, is it love
When I look around tell me who can I trust
Is it love, is it love, is it love
Is it love, is it love
13. Don't Believe Her
Out for a thrill
Got time to kill
Just livin' up my dreams
for heaven's sake
She's on the make
A twisted vicar's queen
And then one night we took a ride
She was all over me
Outrageous
Just ain't real
I was too wasted to see
Before you get in too deep
And you get burned by the heat
Oh yeah
She'll take you there
You know it happened to me
She'll make your heart break
She'll give you fever
She'll tell you everything but don't believe her
A perfect stranger
She knows the game
She'll promise heaven on earth
But don't believe her
Out on the street of broken dreams
Where no one ever wins
Just when you thought you'd made a start
You're back where you begin
Before you get in too deep
And you get burned by the heat
Oh yeah
She'll take you there
I think you know what I mean
She'll make you crazy
She's such a teaser
Says you're the only one but don't believe her
She deals in danger
The girl's insane
She'll promise heaven on earth
But don't believe her
14. Unholy Alliance
It came up crawling from the ruins of the past
And I just can't believe my eyes
It wears the same old face we thought was dead and gone
Forever buried by the time
Chorus:
Unholy alliance
Unholy alliance
It came up screaming from the ashes of the grave
To make this world a battle field
It's got a voice that steals the courage from the brave
And leaves a scar that will not heal
Chorus:
Unholy alliance
Unholy alliance
Bridge:
Don't wanna hear the same old lie that spreads the fear
Only fools think it's cool
We must be blind not to see the signs
How can we dare to look away in the wake of yesterday
Troubled times don't turn your back to the lions
Troubled times just learn your lesson well
The party is over
Bridge:
We must be blind not to see the signs
How can we dare to look away in the wake of yesterday
Troubled times don't turn your back to the lions
Troubled times just learn your lesson well
The party is over
Chorus:
Unholy alliance...
15. Kicks After Six
Another morning, such as ordinary day
She's doin' time from nine to five
The hours waste away
There's no escape, She's a part of the bog machine
She's a slave to the suit and tie
Seven days a week
But every night
She can hardly wait
It feels alright
To give it all away
Good girls get their kicks after six
Good girls get their kicks after six
(She needs it bad, real real bad)
She wants what she never had
All the things that make a good girl bad
She gets her kicks after six
Some days its hard to face the cruel reality
Just waitin' for the bell to ring
She wants to be free
It feels so good to start another endless night
She spreads her wings for another flight
She's running wild
But every night
She can hardly wait
It feels alright
To give it all away
Good girls get their kicks after six
(She needs it bad, real real bad)
Good girls get their kicks after six
(Ooh yeah shake it for me baby)
She wants what she never had
All the things that make a good girl bad
She gets her kicks after six
Good girls get their kicks after six
(She needs it bad, real real bad)
Good girls get their kicks after six
(Ooh yeah nothin's gonna stop her)
She wants what she never had
All the things that make a good girl bad
She gets her kicks after six
Good girls get their kicks after six
(She needs it bad, real real bad)
Good girls get their kicks after six
(C'mon baby take it to the limit)
She wants what she never had
All the things that make a good girl bad
She gets her kicks after six
16. To Be With You In Heaven
You can shoot me down
You can drag me 'round
Girl I'll get you
It won't be long
You can smash my heart
You can trash our love
But my desire for you is much too strong
To be with in heaven
I would go through the darkest hell
In heaven
There's no cure for love that kills
You can waste my time
But you can't change my mind
I won't stop you
So just go on
You can play your games
But it's all in vain
Cause' my desire for you is much too strong
To be with in heaven
I would go through the darkest hell
In heaven
There's no cure for love that kills
To be with in heaven
I would go through the darkest hell
In heaven
There's no cure for love that kills
Girl I'm on fire
Heaven seems so close tonight
Girl I would die for your love
You can shoot me down
You can drag me 'round
Girl I'll get you
It won't be long
You can smash my heart
You can trash our love
But my desire for you is much too strong
To be with in heaven
I would go through the darkest hell
In heaven
There's no cure for love that kills
To be with in heaven
I would go through the darkest hell
In heaven
There's no cure for love that kills
To be with in heaven
I would go through the darkest hell
In heaven
There's no cure for love that kills
17. Wind Of Change
I folow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
An August summer night
Soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind of change
The world is closing in
Did you ever think
That we could be so close, like brothers
The future's in the air
I can feel it everywhere
Blowing with the wind of change
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
in the wind of change
Walking down the street
Distant memories
Are buried in the past forever
I folow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
in the wind of change
The wind of change
Blows straight into the face of time
Like a stormwind that will ring the freedom bell
For peace of mind
Let your balalaika sing
What my guitar wants to say
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
in the wind of change
