1. On Your Knees*
Dancing with danger right until dawn
The sin that you buy and you sell
Mom and daddy said “The life that you’ve led”
You’ll party you’re way straight to hell.
On your knees
You shall be on your knees
Cos I want you on your knees.
Playing with fire, lust in you burns
Reflecting the flames in your eyes
Sex and pain insane, they’re really the same
Misused and confused, bound and tied.
On your knees
You shall be on your knees
Cos I want you on your knees.
On your knees that’s where you all shall be
Well I bid you come taste your first deadly sin
Riding the wild and the door to submission
Will open and you shall fall in.
On your knees
You shall be on your knees
Cos I want you on your knees.
On your knees.
2. The Flame*
Give me a ticket on a jet airplane
I’m a gonna take it
I live my life in the fast lane, the only way to make it
And I keep on going all night long
Cos that’s the way I like it
And with what you got in the heat of the night
I know we got to try it.
Until the flame burns out
Until the flame burns out.
So turn it up, your radio
Everybody shake it
I’m a hundred degrees, with wild fantasies
And I need someone to make it
Show me a place where love is sweet
I ain’t gonna fake it
And hey little girl if you want my love
Then now’s the time to take it.
Before the flame burns out
Before the flame burns out.
Turn up the flame your hips are fire
You’re so hot I got to try ya
Show me the spot and l’ll hit the mark
Baby I got the gasoline and you got the sparks.
Before the flame burns out
Before the flame burns out.
Until the flame burns out
Until the flame burns out.
3. Hellion*
Hellhound hot leather on your legs
That smoking powder keg
You’re riding on is hell bound
And you’re the one they claim
It’s going down in flames
You’re riding Hades rails.
Hellion the devil’s hellion child
Hellion will never hate to die.
Well child you’re sweating and you’re stoned
That alcohol you downed
Makes you crazy
All night you damn the hurt and pain
And drink the devils rain
It’s screaming out your name.
Hellion the devil’s hellion child
Hellion will never have to die.
The gods you worship are steel
At the altar of rock’n’roll you kneel
A slave who forever rocks
Is chained in the devil’s locks
And slain by the bloody axe I wail.
Hellion the devil’s hellion child
Hellion will never have to die.
4. L.O.V.E. Machine
Lady have you know me
The perfect love machine
I’m Virgo, my Leo’s rising
Venus made me king
That trail of broken hearts
They all belong to me
Magic runs through my fingers
One touch you’ll see.
L.O.V.E. all I need’s my love machine
L.O.V.E. all I need’s my love machine tonight.
What can I do for you?
Am I your wildest dream?
What do I move in you?
Am I what I seem?
My eyes they lie and you cry
Love brings you pain
And if you try to love me
You’ll not feel the same.
L.O.V.E. all I need’s my love machine
L.O.V.E. all I need’s my love machine tonight.
5. Sleeping (In The Fire)*
Touch in the flame’s desire
Feeling the pain’s denial
And your finger’s in the fire
Look, look in the candlelight
See in the flame of life
And my spell out lie.
Taste the love, the Lucifer’s magic that makes you numb
The passion and all the pain are one
You’re sleeping in the fire
Taste the love, the Lucifer’s magic than maked you numb
You feel what it does and you’re drunk on love
You’re sleeping in the fire.
I gaze as the flame and fire burn
And cry out the name of which I yearn.
Taste the love, the Lucifer’s magic that makes you numb
The passion and all the pain are one
You’re sleeping in the fire
Taste the love, the Lucifer’s magic that makes you numb
You fell what it does and you’re drunk on love
You’re sleeping in the fire.
6. Tormentor
I’m a liar and l’m a cheat
I have no morals and l’m a thief
Pillage and plunger, curse those who enter
I am a killer and tormentor.
Tormentor...
I’m a sinner I kiss the breast
I am a sadist that whips the flesh
I’ll take the women, curse those who enter
I am a killer and tormentor.
Tormentor...
I am the lord of liars
And I command the force of fire.
Tormentor...
7. School Daze
My eyes are burning bells are ringing in my ears
Alarm clocks wailing class bells screaming I can’t hear
A text book mad house twelve years l’m here in a rage
A juvenile’s jail, and l’m here locked up in their cage.
School daze, school daze, l’m here doin time
School daze, school daze, my age is my crime
School daze, school daze, l’m here doin time
School daze, school daze, l’m attending hell high.
A blackboard jungle toed the line the rulers made
A homework hell house screams at me “Make the grade”
Tick tock, three o’clock l’m sittin here and counting off the days
A fireball is ringing hell and l’d sure love to see it blaze
Burn it down.
School daze, school daze, l’m here doin time
School daze, school daze, my age is my crime
School daze, school daze, l’m here doin time
School daze, school daze, l’m attending hell high.
I pledge no allegiance and I bet
They’re gonna drive me crazy yet
Nobody here is understanding me
I pledge no allegiance and I bet
They’re gonna drive me crazy yet
I’m dying here and trying to get free.
School daze, school daze, l’m here doin time
School daze, school daze, my age is my crime
School daze, school daze, l’m here doin time
School daze, school daze, l’m attending hell high.
8. The Torture Never Stops
Bang, bang, banging in your head
You’re banging on the walls
Hang, hang, hanging up yourself
You’re hanging by your balls.
And you, you die but no one hears or cares
And hope’s the rope that keeps you tied in knots.
The torture never stops...
Suck, suck, sucking at your life
Your master sucks the juice
Shoot, shoot, shooting at you
And the hangman’s noose is loose.
And you, you cry but no one hears or cares
And hope’s the rope that keeps you tied in knots.
The torture never stops...
Your master’s beat you bloody
Still you’re running back for more
And every day, you lay down and play the whore.
The torture never stops...
9. I Wanna Be Somebody*
You say you don’t wanna run and hide
A face that no one know
You’re nobody slave, nobody’s chains are holdin you
You hold your fist up high
And rule the zoo.
Oh you just got to be
Up high where the whole world’s watching me
Cos I, I got the guts to be somebody
To cry out.
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody soon
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody too.
You say you don’t wanna starve
Or take the table crumbs that fall
You don’t wanna beg or plead at all
You don’t want no nine to five
Your fingers to the bone
You don’t want the rock piles bloody stones.
Oh you just got to be
Up high where the whole world’s watching me
Cos I, I got the guts to be somebody
To cry out.
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody soon
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody too.
I wants shiny cars and dirty money
Lotsa rock and roll
I will live in fame and die in flames
I’m never gettin old.
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody soon
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody too.
I’m gonna be somebody...
10. Animal (F... Like A Beast)*
