1. Nothing To Lose
Out in the desert
Where the lights never fade
We had to stop for the night
Walked down the strip
Temptation all around
Oh god how could I resist
I always take a chance
And roll the dice
Cuz all we do
Is just a game
So many ways-To win or to lose
We've got nothing-Nothing to lose
So many ways-To win or to lose
We keep on tryin'-That's what we choose
We made our way
Back to the Hollywood-sign
Where dreams and hopes unite
Where angels die
And stars are risin' high
Where only the best survive
I always take a chance
And roll the dice
Cuz all we do
Is just a game
So many ways - To win or to lose
We've got nothing - Nothing to lose
So many ways - To win or to lose
We keep on walkin' - The way that we choose
2. Don't Try To Call
More than seven years went by
Since you left the scene
Time enough to think about
What you've done to me
Yesterday I heard you're back
Back in town again
You asked my friends where I live
If my number's still the same
Thinkin' of the times we used to spend
All those little lies you used to tell
Don't try to call me anymore
I don't need your lies
Don't try to call me anymore
Little devil in disguise
I was really enslaved by you
Led by your command
Could not read between the lines
No matter what you said
Now that seems so long ago
Girl I changed my ways
You got your life and I got mine
There's nothin' left to say
Thinkin' of the times we used to spend
Thinkin' of the crap you used to tell
Don't try to call me anymore...
3. Wonder
Giant gentle and blue
We breathe and walk and wonder
A place for me and you
Why is it that I wake up
To a new day's light
And how come the starlight
Shines so bright tonight
Tell me bout that wonder
How long can it last
The sun we're living under
Is burning much too fast
We've come a long way searching
For what we think is true
Big machines and bigger dreams
Big illusions too
Every beast we've mastered
Every sea we've sailed
Every fortress conquered
Yet I think we failed
Tell me bout that wonder
How long can it last
The sun we're living under
Is burning much too fast
Tell me bout that wonder...
4. And Life Begins
Look at the children
And see those hopeful eyes
Look at your brother
A friend for all your life
All these people here around me
I'm lovin' more and more
Now I understand what we're livin' for
Like an eagle in the sky
Spread my wings and fly
And I'm sailin' on the wind
My eyes won't miss a thing
And life begins
Look at the valleys
Flowers everywhere
Look at the mountains
So proud they're standing there
All those precious real creations
I've never seen before
Now I understand what we're livin' for
Like an eagle in the sky
Spread my wings and fly
And I'm sailin' on the wind
My eyes won't miss a thing
Like an eagle in the sky
Spread my wings and fly
And I'm ridin' on the wind
And a new life begins
When the rain is fallin'
And the end is not in sight
I just spread my wings and fly again
To the rainbow in the sky
5. Lovers on the Run
I'm ready to rock
I'm ready to explode
Got the key to your lock
Hear me I'm knocking on your door
I got love to give
Gonna get my little share
I'm gonna teach you what you never knew
And you'll be safe with me tonight
Better keep moving cause now the heat is on
Better keep moving like lovers on the run
I'm ready to roll
I'm ready to confess
That I'd sell my soul
For a look into your eyes
You got love to give
Gonna get your little share
I'm gonna give you what you never had
And I'll be good to you tonight
6. Stranger
I'm just a lonely boy and I play
With my red kite in the sky
I hold the string in both of my hands
Try to teach it to fly
But then the wind becomes much stronger
And breaks my dream in two
I see the light at the end of the tunnel
And I'm running back to you
Now I'm awake
With the eyes of a stranger
And I'm awake
Out of my world of danger
I'm looking 'round in our bedroom
What the hell is going on
I see an orange dressed foreign man
Hanging on his telephone
But then a voice tries to tell me
What's going on tonight
I had a fit a mental blackout
I'll say goodbye to my red kite
Now I'm awake...
7. Faces
Sammy Jo was an ordinary girl
Had ordinary dreams and hopes
And a proper place to stay
What made her crack nobody really knows
When she ran away from home
She threw it all away
Oh see the rainbow there
Oh colours everywhere
I see those faces
Showing all those traces
Of a million tears
Cried over long lost years
Glitter and glory
It's the same old
Things ain't what they seem
And you can't live on dreams
Do you know what I mean
Jamie Lee was an ordinary guy
Lived an ordinary life
In only black and white
Why he changed his mind nobody knows
Now he roams the streets at night
Always hiding from the light
Oh see the rainbow there
Oh colours everywhere
I see those faces...
I see your face
And feel your warm embrace
And I have no fear
As long as you are there
Glitter and glory
Yeah I know that story
But I know what's true
And I'll hang on to you
As I see your face
And feel your warm embrace
I know what's true
And I'll hang on to you
Hanging on to you
I see those faces...
8. The Devil In Me
Oh baby look at me
I'll be your friend tonite
I'm gonna make you smile
I'll never make you cry
You think I'm full of lies
I'm not that kinda man
Cuz' when you're feeling down, down, down
Gonna make you feel alright
When you turn your back on me
Gonna live all my fantasies
Better keep an eye on me
Gonna live all my hidden dreams
It's the devil in me
It's the devil in me
9. Who's Got the Rhythm
Another night in leather, another day in lace
You do it so much better, I got this smilin' face
Your rock gets rolled by money -
Any hearts for sale
Like one foot in heaven 'n' one foot in hell
This world you care for is calling my name
This world you fight for will be turning my way
Who's got the rhythm
To turn water into wine
Who's got the rhythm
Are you so divine
And if the road gets dirty you gonna
Change your shoes
Cuz white is your color and white is your blues
You travel every city, you can fly to the moon
But you can't buy the rhythm -
You're gonna find out soon
Who's got the rhythm
Do you got the rhythm
10. Hands On the Trigger
Without a warning
Out of the blue
Her eyes so hungry
What could I do
She dragged me to the back door
Like a dog on a lead
No kinda resistance
When I spotted the meat
I thought to myself just take what you can
And don't hesitate, I know what it's like
When life gets me down
Hands on the trigger
Come'n'take me higher
Hands on the trigger
And set the sky on fire
Strong desire
And the pourin' rain
No need for talking
Didn't know her name
Then the first sign of morning
And my eyes still blind
Didn't have to see nothing
What I felt was right
I thought to myself just take what you can
And stop asking yourself if it's good or bad
When life treats you right
