1. 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
2. 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
3. Someone to Touch
I'm an alleycat with only seven lives
I'm the trouble scratching at your door
when the moon is bright and shining high
I'm getting loose just like the night before
one for the money, two for the show
you can't resist it on a night like this
I'm the answer baby and you know
tonight you're mine, forget the guy you're with
Bridge:
Baby I don't care
if I have to vrawl an ectra mile
'cause you can take me everywhere
and you're the one I really need tonight
Chrous:
Someone to touch
I need a girl like you
someone to touch
that somebody could be you
Don't try to tell me that your daddy's mean
you think your mama wouldn't let me in
come on 'n step inside my dream machine
don't fight it honey, you just can't win
Bridge:
'cause baby I don't care
if I have to vrawl an ectra mile
'cause you can take me everywhere
and you're the one I really need tonight
Chrous:
Someone to touch
I need a girl like you
someone to touch
that somebody could be you
Someone to touch
I need a girl like you
someone to touch
c'mon baby, I think it's you
4. 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
5. 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...
6. Woman
Chorus:
Woman you can change my world
I'm chained to the fears
Inside these walls
The silence talks loud
'bout the things I recall
Through the bricks in the window
I scream at the world
But when no one is listening
It's hard to be heard
Chorus:
Woman you can change my world
I see shadows
Coming through the walls
I hear voices
But no one's talking at all
I can feel the madness
Crawling up my spine
Reachin' out
To grab your mind
Chorus:
Woman come and change my world
Bridge:
(Do you remember all those fears?)
They won't leave me alone
(Do you remember all those tears?)
I pretend to be strong
(Do you remember all the pain?)
I'm getting tired of the game
I cannot live I cannot die
I wanna know who the hell am I
You've never seen me
But I know you so well
And before it kills me
I gotta break the spell
The deeper we touch
The higher we'll go
The time has come
To heal my soul
Woman you can change my world
Bridge:
(Do you remember all those fears?)
They won't leave me alone
(Do you remember all those tears?)
I pretend to be strong
(Do you remember all the pain?)
I'm getting tired of the game
I cannot live I cannot die
I wanna know who the hell am I
Chorus:
Woman I'm gonna change your world
7. Hate to Be Nice
Hey baby, listen up
I'm not in love with you
You keep runnin' off at the mouth
And someone else can scratch my back
And I could care less about your legs
I just wanna see 'em walk all over me
Chorus:
I'm runnin' out of patience
And I ain't gonna say it twice
The world out there is down'n dirty, honey
And I just hate to be nice
So don't think about movin' any closer, baby
Just forget about it
You body may be a weapon on legs
But hey, I'm not fallin' for that
Don't you get it, I'm not impressed at all
I just wanna see you crawl all over me
Chorus:
I'm runnin' out of patience
And I ain't gonna say it twice
The world out there is down'n dirty, honey
And I just hate to be nice
Bridge:
Don't you understand
Don't you understand
Tell me when your eyes say yes
How can your lips say no
A girl like you shouldn't be surprised
It's just I hate to be nice
Chorus:
I'm runnin' out of patience
And I ain't gonna say it twice
The world out there is down'n dirty, honey
And I just hate to be nice
8. Taxman Woman
I wake up in the morning I'm thinking of you
In Dollars and Cents in high heel shoes
I start to think and the headache goes boom
I'm counting the bills that are stacked to the moon
Bridge:
The money I'm giving to you
I could live on forever (on the sunny side)
What can I do so my life
Turns around for the better (Got knows that I tried)
Chorus:
Taxman woman I keep running
Can't you see it's only money
Taxman woman I keep running
Can't you see it's so hard honey
To keep up with you
I work twice as hard what else can I do
To make up the part that's been taken by you
If it wasn't for you I would be rich
But instead I'm a poor son of a bitch
Bridge:
The money I'm giving to you
I could live on forever (on the sunny side)
What can I do so my life
Turns around for the better (Got knows that I tried)
Chorus:
Taxman woman I keep running
Can't you see it's only money
Taxman woman I keep running
Can't you see it's so hard honey
Taxman woman I keep running
Can't you see that it ain't funny
Taxman woman I keep running
Can't you see it's so hard honey
To keep up with you
9. 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
10. Nightmare Avenue
Last night I went to kill
Some time at the famous grill
Where the tall eats the small
There were girls all over me
That's my insanity
Don't call me Ringo, call me Paul
I'm in heaven, I'm in hell
Don't wipe that smile off my face
Can't you tell
I see faces in the weirdest places
Please, won't you take me down
Underneath you spell
Bridge:
Oh, oh I'm back at midnight (alright)
I drop my keys, could you get 'em love
Oh, oh baby I might (he might)
I got the stuff to keep it goin' on all night
Chorus:
Take me down nightmare avenue
Goin' down nightmare avenue
I wanna take you too
Sharp as a sabres tooth
Back in my favorite booth
I'm getting spanked with cold champagne
I'd walk on a razor blade
If you're dressed like a French maid
I get my pleasure out of pain
Bridge:
Oh, oh I'm back at midnight (alright)
I drop my keys, could you get 'em love
Oh, oh baby I might (he might)
I got the stuff to keep it goin' on all night
Chorus:
Take me down nightmare avenue
Goin' down nightmare avenue
Drive me down nightmare avenue
Lay me down on nightmare avenue
I wanna take you too
11. 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
