Lyrics


1. Dancing

something in her smile / she walks with confidence
she's got her goal / I know what her target is
I call for a cab / while she lights up the corner
you don't have to see her / to know that she's really there
getting ready for the show/ got it all under control
She's dancing, dancing / drags you into the vortex spinning
dancing / dancing
hold on to the caroussel
eyes looking wild / tears you up like an animal
she's not herself / a surfacing second nature
deep in a trance / she really needs to know you're
you're watching her / kill you with a smile
getting ready for the show/ got it all under control
She's dancing, dancing / drags you into the vortex spinning
dancing / dancing
hold on to the caroussel
-solo-
repeat chorus

2. This is now

as I hold on to dear life with all my might / a parade of and joy before my eyes
there's a cocktail of emotions flying by / I'm the center of this vortex caught in time
hang on to the good things while you fall / throw away the bad things one and all

this is now / how will it be tomorrow
this is today / life will go on tomorrow

Something put me in a place where I can't be / there is still so much of life ahead of me
haven't finished all the things I have to do / did we say goodbye , have I taken care of you
hang on to the good things while you fall / throw away the bad things one and all

this is now / how will it be tomorrow
this is today / life will go on tomorrow

-solo-


this is now / how will it be tomorrow
this is today / life will go on tomorrow

this is now / how will it be tomorrow
this is today / life will go on tomorrow
life will, go on forever

3. Doomsday theory

what do we do when the sky comes falling
what do we do when the oceans flood
what do we do when the crust is cracking
what do we do when the moon comes down

it's doomsday theory / the sky turns red
there's no surviving this / just death instead
I'm building my own spaceship / not gonna sit around
I'm gonna take you with me / now, how's that sound

shot into space / and I won't be coming back
without a trace /on to new frontiers

we'll be pirates in the sky/ rogues of the galaxy
one wild fantasy / out in the sky
we'll be pirates in the sky/ rogues of the galaxy
one wild fantasy / out in the sky
shot into space / and I won't be coming back

we are new-age privateers / outside the law
a whole new set of rules / the old world has gone
got a nuclear engine / I got fuel to burn
a new page in history / no time to yearn

shot into space / and I won't be coming back
without a trace /on to new frontiers

we'll be pirates in the sky/ rogues of the galaxy
one wild fantasy / out in the sky
we'll be pirates in the sky/ rogues of the galaxy
one wild fantasy / out in the sky
shot into space / and I won't be coming back

-solo-

shot into space / and I won't be coming back
without a trace /on to new frontiers

we'll be pirates in the sky/ rogues of the galaxy
one wild fantasy / out in the sky
we'll be pirates in the sky/ rogues of the galaxy
one wild fantasy / out in the sky
shot into space / and I won't be coming back
I won't be coming back
I won't be coming back

4. Don't give him an alibi

I'm a name on a list / there's a prize on my head, I know
if you'd only insist / I will try to pack and go
I cannot take you with me /'you won't leave me behind', you say
there's danger up ahead / I could never see you hurt again

and I tried to explain / there's a man on my tail
with a scratch on his soul / and death in his eyes

there's a bullet in the chamber / there's a finger on the trigger
give him a reason to fire / don't give him an alibi

you're the love of my life / if only we met in different times
a circumstance less strange / but reality had other plans
what I did was wrong / I had no right to take a life
him or me, I had no choice / and the bountyman says,'dead or alive'

and I tried to explain / there's a man on my tail
with a scratch on his soul / and death in his eyes

there's a bullet in the chamber / there's a finger on the trigger
give him a reason to fire / don't give him an alibi

-solo-

repeat chorus

5. Hold on tight

you told me all about your dreams of running, running
if anyone was gonna make it out of here / it would be you
I don't know if it's true but I heard it coming
the sound of the whistle tells there a freighttrain / coming through
you told you would go for gold you were stopping nowhere
if anyone was gonna make it to the top / it would be you
I can hear the crowd scream / they're roaring, roaring
the sound of your guitar tells there's a new kid / coming through

hold on tight / stay close to me
in a moment you will know where you will be
through the night / just one more day
on a rollercoasterride / just as long as you would like

-solo-

repeat chorus

6. Right between the eyes

slippery like a diamondback at night
prowling like a tiger
got my eyes locked on my prey
I'm a black cat, bad cat, crossing your path
can you read the sign
I'm a big clock, tic-toc, tell me no lie
can you see what time

I think you know I'm gonna hurt you
I think you know what's on my mind
got it coming / the way you want it
right between the eyes
...coming / the way you want it
right between the eyes
I"m a hammer and anvil / pounding away
my fist, your face
do you catch my drift, you know what I mean
just before it's too late
I think you know I'm gonna hurt you
I think you know what's on my mind
got it coming / the way you want it
right between the eyes
...coming / the way you want it
right between the eyes
-solo-
I think you know I'm gonna hurt you
I think you know what's on my mind
got it coming / the way you want it
right between the eyes
...coming / the way you want it
right between the eyes
...coming / the way you want it
right between the eyes
...coming / the way you want it
right between the eyes

7. Red hot, white lies

every word she says / is a kick below the waisteline
pounding down on me / must be her favorite pastime
I won't take it any longer / will turn around and go
won't say a word or look her in the eye
won't write a note, I won't say goodbye

red hot, white lies
red hot, white lies
red hot, white lies

it never is enough / she don't know when to to stop, man
every cheap trick in the book / she'll use every damn line, anyway she can
I won't take it any longer / will turn around and go
won't say a word or look her in the eye
won't write a note, I won't say goodbye

red hot, white lies
red hot, white lies
red hot, white lies

-solo-
red hot, white lies
red hot, white lies
red hot, white lies
red hot, white lies
red hot, I've had enough
of your red hot, white lies

8. Steal the show

two hearts racing / on the run
unknown destination
one hand on the wheel, one on your gun
eyes in the rearview mirror

running / so far away
leaving / it's too hard to stay

now that you're mine / I'd swear i'd never let you go
we're dancers in thelight
together we will steal the show
you were so shure / I was so in love
we were so in trouble
don't look back / don't have second thoughts
we've got to keep on / we never can stop
running / so far away
leaving / it's too hard to stay

now that you're mine / I'd swear i'd never let you go
we're dancers in thelight
together we will steal the show
...oh, let's go
-solo-
repeat chorus

9. Now until forever

the I saw your eyes in the doorway
and they took me back to long time ago
once upon a time there was this young girl
how that story ended, I don't know

is it just my way of looking at you
haven't changed a bit in all these years
I can still remember what it feels like
when I used to hold you near
the storm within our hearts
the rain forever after
it was you and I
from until forever

only you and I were for eachother
there would never be someone else
a twist of fate is why we're not together
seeing you now brings it all back

the storm within our hearts
the rain forever after
it was you and I
from until forever

-solo-

the storm within our hearts
the rain forever after
it was you and I
from until forever

10. Deep enough

and then it dawned on me / that the moment is near
my biggest enemy is here
and now I realise / I hoped I'd never see it
but behind these eyes/ lives my worst enemy

it's destroying me / like it almost ruined you
the beast in me / coming out of the blue

can I cut deep enough / can I ever hit it hard enough
cause when I killed the beast and I'm free finally
can I ever love you hard enough

and I still look the same / but underneath the skin
there's a pool of sin / and it's boiling
but when you held the mirror / I built a wall
but there's still a heart / love conquers all


it's destroying me / like it almost ruined you
the beast in me / coming out of the blue

can I cut deep enough / can I ever hit it hard enough
cause when I killed the beast and I'm free finally
can I ever love you hard enough

-solo-

it's destroying me / like it almost ruined you
the beast in me / coming out of the blue

can I cut deep enough / can I ever hit it hard enough
cause when I killed the beast and I'm free finally
can I ever love you hard enough

11. Too far

there's a line in the distance / damcing in the heat
that's where this road heads / that's where this hell ends
every step forward / a step closer to exhaustion
too far from anywhere

but I'm still going strong
I'm still standing tall

I've gone too far / too far to turn around
too far to turn back now / I've gone too far

the sun is eating my shadow / it's biting my tongue
and the heat is so present / it leans on my back


but I'm still going strong
I'm still standing tall

I've gone too far / too far to turn around
too far to turn back now / I've gone too far

-solo-

I've gone too far / too far to turn around
too far to turn back now / I've gone too far
I've gone too far / too far to turn around
too far to turn back now / I've gone too far
