1. ROAD OF A THOUSAND DREAMS

Some live the life
The lap of luxury
Where everything goes right
But some live so painfully
Another day, another fight

And they hear the screams of salvation,
Calling from the heart with an open hand
Day after day desolation
Still there's hope for those who believe

Down the road of a thousand dreams
Where the beggars and the choosers,
Find their destiny can be saved
By the light of faith
That everyone can see
Down the road of a thousand dreams

Time passes by,
And all that's left behind,
And the days of eternity
There's no souvenirs
Still the statue stands,
Bleeding scars of humility

And they hear the screams of salvation
Calling from the heart with an open hand
Day after day desolation
Still there's hope for those who believe

Down the road of a thousand dreams
Where the beggars and the choosers,
Find their destiny can be saved
By the light of faith
That everyone can see
Down the road of a thousand dreams

[Solo]

Down the road of a thousand dreams
Where the beggars and the choosers,
Find their destiny can be saved
By the light of faith
That everyone can see
Down the road of a thousand dreams


2. DAMN GOOD

Hey man you better get a grip
Or you'll be fallin' off the edge real fast
You find yourself a lady and you're bending over backwards
While she's passin' time spending all of your cash

Hey bud open your eyes and see the big lie before it's too late
You better get your shit together take a look at changing weather
Or you'll be caught in a downpour of hate

You'll never know the reason why you feel in love
It's the nature of the beast I guess or a message from above
So take a look around you and see what's happening
'Cause this woman's gonna take you down
Take you down to the very end

But she's so damn good that it's downright bad
She's a devil in a blue dress gonna drive you mad
Damn good, damn good, so damn good it's the best you ever had

Hey pal don't mean to criticize 'bout the way you're livin' your life
But you know they say that love is blind and it's always hard
to read between the lines
You'll never know the reason how this came your way
It's message from below my friend there's gonna be hell to pay

But take a look around you and see what's happening
'Cause this woman's gonna take you down
Take you down to the very end

But she's so damn good that it's downright bad
She's a devil in a blue dress gonna drive you mad
Damn good, damn good, so damn good it's the best you ever had

[Solo]

I hope you wake up before the nightmare begins
'Cause there's a timebomb ticking, ticking in your
Ticking in yourticking in your hands

But she's so damn good that it's downright bad
She's a devil in a blue dress gonna drive you mad
Damn good, damn good, so damn good it's the best you ever had


3. ROCKING HORSE

Telephone rings and she's got me hangin' on the wire
Tells me she's had enough of the same damn thing

What's wrong with MrRight
He aint got the tools to satisfy you
Say the word 'cause I got your ticket to fly
1,2,3,4, lady needs the rockin' horse
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon

C'mon baby won't you get on top of my rockin' horse
'Cause playin' safe aint gonna get you what you need

3 am I ain't supposed to hear the doorbell ring
Well push came to shove now she's got me ready to sing

I got her motor runnin'
She made my pistons burn and burn
And burn like fire and lit my last cigarette

1,2,3,4, lady loves the rockin' horse
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon

C'mon baby won't you get on top of my rockin' horse
Feel the thunder below it's gonna make you scream
C'mon honey won't you get on top of my rockin' horse
'Cause playin' safe ain't gonna get you what you need

[Solo]

There ain't no way around it
You've got to live and learn
Sometimes you think you've found it
But you're bound to get burned

C'mon baby won't you get on top of my rockin' horse
Feel the thunder below it's gonna make you scream
Let's go honey won't you get on top of my rockin' horse
'Cause playin' safe ain't gonna get you what you need


4. POWER OF LOVE

When the power of love takes you all night long
Say yeah, yeah, yeah

You never know why this feeling comes to hit ya
Like a slap across your face
It's a sheer heart attack, an aphrodisiac
Way of our human race

When boy meets girl it's a meeting of desire
Then the eyes begin to spark
No need for pick up lines it's all in body signs
When the magic's in the dark

Oh oh it's a hardline to control
Oh oh makes ya shake, rock, rattle and roll

When the power of love takes you all night long
Say yeah, yeah, yeah
If it feels just right you know it ain't wrong
Yeah, yeah, yeah
When the power of love makes it taste so good
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You can feel it shakin' down the neighborhood
Yeah, yea, yeah

When man and woman engage into the fire
The facts will always prove
No matter what they say no matter what they do
Can't take away the power's groove

Oh oh forget your self control
Oh oh gonna shake, rock, rattle and roll

When the power of love takes you all night long
Say yeah, yeah, yeah
If it feels just right you know it ain't wrong
Yeah, yeah, yeah
When the power of love makes it taste so good
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You can feel it shakin' down the neighborhood
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Solo]

Unlock the door set the animal free
It's time to let this physical beast out of you and me

When the power of love takes you all night long
Say yeah, yeah, yeah
If it feels just right you know it ain't wrong
Yeah, yeah, yeah
When the power of love makes it taste so good
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You can feel it shakin' down the neighborhood
Yeah, yea, yeah


5.RUNAWAY TRAIN

Hello my only friend
Hello old stranger
Looks like we meet again
I think I'm in danger

This life ain't no fairy tale
The world's so misleading
I'm searchin' for peace of mind
'cause my soul is bleeding

The spirits they told me when times get tough
Don't just run away
The spirits they showed me that it's alright
Confusion ain't worth the price of your life

The mind is like a runaway train
When the heart's off the beaten track
So ride on in your runaway train
Sanctuary waits but there's no turning back

Goodbye to all I feel
Goodbye to love
This time I'm trapped by emotions that I can't rise above

So where can I run to now
Tell me where can I go
When life's just a page in time
Just a stepping stone

The spirits they told me when times get tough
Don't just run away
The spirtits they showed me that it's alright
Confusion ain't worth the price of your life

The mind is like a runaway train
When the heart's off the beaten track
So ride on in your runaway train
Sanctuary waits but there's no turning back

I need to make a change 'cause it's raining in my heart
I know there's someplace waiting
To ease my mind and free my soul

[Solo]

The mind is like a runaway train
When the heart's off the beaten track
So ride on in your runaway train
Sanctuary waits but there's no turning back


6. BLOODROCK

What do you feel alone in the night
Can you hear the voices calling
Can you see the light

What does it mean when hunger's temptation
Blinds reality with intoxication

It comes alive and it possesses all your senses
It takes you where you've never
Ever been before

Bloodrock feel the shock
Oh, oh emotional, pleasure, pain
Bloodrock hear the shot
Oh, oh insanity, seduction, cain

Nowhere to hide this manic asylum
Where some thrill the fever
And dance with desire

Forget your fears forget your frustrations
There's no escape from this mind infestation

It overdrives you to the point of no return
It takes you where you've never
Ever been before

Bloodrock feel the shock
Oh, oh emotional, pleasure, pain
Bloodrock hear the shot
Oh, oh insanity, seduction, cain


7. WAITING IN THAT LINE

It's Monday morning 9 am
I find myself in a new situation
A crowd of people and just one stranger
The stranger's me and I feel this sensation

Was like nothin' I've seen before
Sent my mind in a whirlwind
So many faces, so many names
Doing what they can to survive

I never cared 'bout the society
'Til I was waiting in that line
Then I ralized that's the essence of reality
'Cause everybody waits in line
Waiting in that line

When you live the good life
You're sheltered from the bad
Payin' no mind to all you've been given

Takin' things for granted you sometimes forget
That there's no real reason
For failure of success

Was like nothin' I've seen before
Sent my mind in a whirlwind
So many faces, so many names
Doing what they can to survive

I never cared 'bout the society
'Til I was waiting in that line
Then I realized
That's the essence of reality
'Cause everybody waits in line
Waiting in that line


8. NOBODY'S A HERO

The headline reads
Another boy shot down to his knees
A drug crazed killer
Blew his dreams away

The tv speaks of all the violence
And the latest crimes
The tragedies, Kennedys ain't that a sign of the times

Whoa oh oh is there anybody out there
A living soul that cares at all
Whoa, oh oh is there anybody out there
'Cause how can we live in a world where

Nobody's a hero nobody's a fighter
Where would we be in this land of foes
Without heroes I don't know

And who will we turn to
When the walls come tumbling down
It's time to change, rearrange
This world that we've found

Whoa oh oh is there anybody out there
A living sould that cares at all
Whoa oh oh is there anybody out there
'Cause how can we live in a world where

Nobody's a hero nobody's a fighter
Where would we be in this land of foes
Without heroes I don't know

I think Lennon said it best
"We should give peace a chance"
The only fear is fear itself
The change is in our hands

[Solo]

Nobody's a hero nobody's a fighter
Where would we be in this land of foes
Without heroes I don't know


10. WILD IS THE HEART

Johnny ran with a dangerous crowd
A rolling stone who liked his music real loud
And he don't give a damn about life he's livin'

Jesse tried to be the girl next door
Did what Daddy told her but she wanted more
She wasn't satisfied with the life she's livin'

Then jesse looked to find a different scene
Searchin' for the fountain of insanity
This rebel heart she needs a resless soul
And Johnny's just the man to make her lose control

'Cause he got the wild in the body got the wild in the soul
Wild is the heart will it ever take it's toll
Got the wild in his spirit got the wild in his pride
It's the wild in the heart that keeps this man alive

Well these two they make a hell of a pair
Tear up the town do it just for a dare
Spent their time on the run but they just call it livin'

Crossed the state line slept in every motel
But the past was catching up
Gonna take them to hell but their dreams haven't died
Well I just hope they're forgiven

Times got tough Johnny did what he could
Wound up with a gun didn't do him no good
Behind bars with a kid on the way
But Jesse's holding on she's living day by day

'Cause he got the wild in the body got the wild in the soul
Wild in the heart will it ever take it's toll
Got the wild in his spirit got the wild in his pride
It's the wild in the heart that keeps these two alive

[Solo]

Six years later Johnny's out on parole
Jesse and their boy are waiting out on the road
I guess she's gonna have to take him back
But she says you'd better never ever leave me agian

'Cause he got the wild in the body got the wild in the soul
Wild in the heart will it ever take it's toll
Got the wild in his spirit got the wiwld in his pride
It's the wild in the heart that keeps these two alive


11. WHAT IT TAKES

Old Man Jones lived on the dark side of the town
Never had much to say but man he had that six string down

The kids they'd always listen when the old man would sing and play
And me I was there just a face in the crowd
When I finally got a chance to say

Tell me what it takes to play with fire
Tell me what it takes to make it real
He said son there ain't no secrets it's all just what you feel
So boy if you wanna be good better listen here

It ain't about the clothes you wear
Ain't about the style of your hair
That ain't what it takes to be a music man
It's all about the way you play
Livin' for the music 'til your dyin' day
That's what it takes to be a music man

One chord screamin' through a wall of amplified thunder
As the heavens roared and the lightning raged
I knew the spell I was under

Then the old man took me by the hand
He said I can see it in your eyes
That you got what it takes to be a music man
What it takes to light up the sky

Tell me what it takes to play with fire
Tell me what it takes to make it real
He said son there ain't no secrets it's all just what you feel
So boy if you wanna be good better listen here

It ain't about the clothes you wear
Ain't about the style of your hair
That ain't what it takes to be a music man
It's all about the way you play
Livin' for the music 'til your dyin' day
Now that's what it takes to be a music man
That's what it takes to be a music man


12. AS THE CANDLE BURNS

It's been such a long time, but I'm on my way back home again
Back to the ways I knew before Back to the ones I left behind

It's over now and it's time to see things in a different light
Back to the faces of yesterday Out of this fantasy

I've traveled miles high and low,
And I've seen the world through these eyes
For every living day I know, it takes more to get me by

As the candle burns I've learned one thing:
To live you life but say a prayer for all that you've got
As the candle burns, trust and honesty
Just follow your heart and swear by the ones that you love,
As the candle burns

It's a life for the taking it's a life that surrounds you,
Full of liars and thieves
But it's the truth that pulls you through Back to reality

Through all the years and painful tears,
It's been a mountain that I must climb
And for every living day it's clear, I've turned a page in time

As the candle burns, I've learned one thing
To live your life and say a prayer for all that you've got
As the candle burns, trust and honesty
Just follow your heart and swear by the ones that you love
As the candle burns

I've traveled miles high and low,
And I've seen the world through these eyes
For every living thing I know,
It takes more to get me by

As the candle burns, I've learned one thing
To live your life and say a prayer for all that you've got
As the candle burns, trust and honesty
So follow your heart and swear by the ones that you love
As the candle burns


13. ON THE ROAD AGAIN

Picture this baby if you wanna know
What it's like to be a travelin'
Rock-N-Roll Show
It'a a little bit fiction but fact when you see
So if you got the balls come inside with me

To the life I can live without
To the life where it's one big freak show
Round and round upside down

Keep the wheels rollin'
Through the dead of the night
500 miles 'til broad daylight
Ya party 'til 6 ya sleep 'til it's 5
Then you're playin' for the people
To keep the dream alive

In my soul a true infection
In my soul a constant erection
Of the body and the mind

Yeah that's the life my friend
When you're on the road again
New York to Japan on the road again
All across the land

Got the tour bus, hotels, and the limousines
Got my face plastered on every magazine
Got the managers, lawyers, and the record execs
Pullin' me in and out but it sure ain't like sex

And my mama's always naggin' about The MTV
Son, why ain't you #1? You're only #3
But it's all packed up and the day is done
I know I live this life 'cause I live for fun

Yeah when you're on the road again
New York to Japan on the road again
All across the land on the road again
LA to Londontown on the road again
Tearin' the houses down
