Lyrics

1. INSIDE THE ELECTRIC CIRCUS

A scream unlock the cage
The roars rock the stage
Hunger of the animals are calling
Thrive upon the rage
Raw prints on the page
The room's going wild, walls are falling
Lights shine illumination bright
Reveal all the madness here tonight

[Chorus:]
Welcome, I bid your welcome, to live
Inside the electric circus
Hang on,hang on to your life
The animals are all insane - God help us

Electricity to burn
Amplifiers churn
Three ring madhouse calls the action
It's life upon the road
Insane asylum grows
Night after night, the main attraction
A strange world that you might wanna know
When it comes alive - crank, crank, crank, crank the show

[Chorus]


2. I DON'T NEED NO DOCTOR

I don't need no doctor
'Cause I know what's ailing me
I don't need no doctor
'Cause I know what's ailing me (yes, I do)
All I need is my baby
You don't know I'm in misery
I don't need no doctor

I don't need no doctor
My prescription tells me that
I don't need no doctor
My prescription tells me that
I don't need no doctor
All I need is my baby
You don't know I'm in misery
I don't need no doctor

Well, the doctor said I need the rest - ooh, ooh
He put me on the critical list - ooh, ooh
Keeping me safe from harm - ooh, ooh
All I need is her sweet charm - ooh, ooh
He gave me a medical option, that wouldn't do
Ooh, yeah, my motion, oh, yeah, no doctor, no
I don't need no doctor

3. L.O.V.E. Machine

Lady have you known 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, 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, tonight


4. WILD CHILD

I ride, I ride the winds that bring the rain
A creature of love and I can't be tamed
I want you, cause I'm gonna take your love from him
And I'll touch your face and hot burning skin
No, he'll never ever touch you like I do
So look in my eyes and burn alive the truth

I'm a wild child, come and love me I want you
My heart's in exile I need you to touch me
Cause I want what you do... I want you

Tell me, tell me the lies you're telling him
When you run away cause I wanna know
Cause I, I'm sure it's killing him to find
That you run to me when he lets you go
Cause I'm burning, burning, burning up with fire
So come turn me on and turn the flames up higher

I'm a wild child, come and love me I want you
My heart's in exile I need you to touch me
Cause I want what you do... I want you

A naked heat machine, I want your love
When the moons arise we'll feel just what it does

I'm a wild child, come and love me I want you
My heart's in exile I need you to touch me
Cause I want what you do I want you


5. 9-5·N.A.S.T.Y.

One woman down my street is too hot for the average man
Hard to handle, a fire in her eyes
Wants the hot rocks right in her hand
I know she's burning, hot with love
A come-on look and she ain't fooling
And she knows just what it does
She gave me a number to make me feel fine
Said call me up baby
It's gonna 9.5. - N.A.S.T.Y.
You're everything I need
'Cause I want what you're giving
I'm yours to do with what you please
N.A.S.T.Y., you're everything I need
'Cause I want what you're giving
I'm yours to do with what you please

Ooh - no mama's baby, this child
She's a killer wrapped in high-heel shoes
Touch the skin - it burns like fire
I don't even care if I'm being used
Threw me down and then she tore off my jeans
She said, come on, babe, I mean business
I'm gonna show you what liberation means

Do it to me baby
I'm losing my mind
Said call me up honey
Tonight I'm 9.5. - N.A.S.T.Y.
You're everything I need
'Cause I want what you're giving
I'm yours to do with what you please
N.A.S.T.Y., you're everything I need
'Cause I want what you're giving
I'm yours to do with what you please

Some bad habits are hard to break
Like an earthquake coming
I got to shake, shake, shake

9.5. - N.A.S.T.Y.
You're everything I need
'Cause I want what you're giving
I'm yours to do with what you please


6. SLEEPING (IN THE FIRE)

Touch, touch in the flame's desire
Feeling the pain's denial
And your finger's in the fire
Look, look in the candle light
See in the flame of life
And my spell our 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 that makes 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 feel what it does and you're drunk on love
You're sleeping in the fire


7. THE MANIMAL

Oh, whoa no I can't pretend to tell you lies
The heat that's burnin' thru' my veins
Will eat your love alive
Cos I-Yes I'm the devil in disguise
The will is strong, the flesh is weak
You see it in my eyes

Call me-me the Manimal
That's what I am
Call me-me the Manimal
Half beast half man
Call me-me the Manimal
That's what I am
Call me-me the Manimal,
Half beast half man

Oh, whoa no temptation's fever's burnin' me
My hands will sweat, my lips will scream
I take just what I need
Cos I-I wanna run my hands on you
My soul's alive, I feel the drive
The sweetmeat's where I feed

Call me-me the Manimal
That's what I am
Call me-me the Manimal
Half beast half man
Call me-me the Manimal
That's what I am
Call me-me the Manimal
Half beast half man

Call of the wild I'm a lunatic child
I wait in the bush, I watch you and smile
Dinner's at eight, I can't hardly wait
I'll eat you alive, baby don't you be late

Call me-me the Manimal
That's what I am
Call me-me the Manimal
Half beast half man
Call me-me the Manimal
That's what I am
Call me-me the Manimal
Half beast half man


8. I WANNA BE SOMEBODY

You say you don't wanna run and hide
A face that no-one knows
And everyone ya meet, you're gonna show
You're nobody's 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 watchin 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 watchin 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 want shiny cars and dirty money
Lots of 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, I'm gonna be somebody


9. HARDER FASTER

I don't care if you track me down
Like an animal that's on the run
Tie me down spread-eagle
Leave me dyin' in the sun
Cause I scream bloody murder
When you writhe and when you squeeze
You smell my blood and you come runnin'
Taste me if you please

Lick it hard, lap it up, do it now baby, touch it, touch it
Lick your lips and flash your paws
Suck me suck me eat me raw

Oooh, Harder faster
Yeah, that's what I need cause
Now that's what I'm after
Come do that wicked deed aha

I can hear those cries of love
A wolf howls at the moon
A heart attack, a sex maniac
With rock salt in my wounds
Cause I can feel my pulsing vein
Make it last, last all night long
I taste the bliss I wet the lips
And I don't care if it's wrong

Lick it hard, lap it up, do it now baby, touch it, touch it
Lick your lips and flash your paws
Suck me suck me eat me raw

Oooh, Harder faster
Yeah, that's what I need cause
Now that's what I'm after
Come do that wicked deed Aha

Slippin' slidin' strokin' the devil's hand of sin
Screamin' wild and smokin' the ecstacy begins

Listen to your woman here
She say she don't want none of this slow down crap
You know what I'm talkin' 'bout?

Oooh, Harder faster
Yeah, that's what I need cause
Now that's what I'm after
Come do that wicked deed aha


10. BLIND IN TEXAS

An El Paso hellhole I couldn't higher
White lightning moonshine tastes like fire
I drank for free till I couldn't see
I fell on the floor, what I said is

I'm blind in Texas, the lone star is hot tonight
I'm blind in Texas, the cowboys have taken my eyes
I drank Dallas whiskey and lost my mind
Had high-balls in Houston, three for a dime
Everything starts to spin, loaded on gin
I fell out the door, what I said is

I'm blind in Texas, the lone star is hot tonight
I'm blind in Texas, the cowboys have taken my eyes

San Antonio and the West Texas town El Paso
Corpus Christi and Waco, the Yellow Rose is wild

Hey dude, let's party
Raisin hell in Austin just after sundown
When the hoosegow police decided to come round-they said
"Boy what's the matter with you, what you trying to do?"
I looked at the man and I said

I think I'll have another one
We ain't got no more
What do ya mean you ain't got no more liquor?
We ain't got no more
Go home what do ya mean go home?
What am I supposed to do... get on a horse and ride back to LA
The hell you say... suffer!

I'm blind in Texas, the lone star is hot tonight
I'm blind in Texas, I'm blind (Texas, Texas, Texas)


11. SCREAM UNTIL YOU LIKE IT

Come on in! ha ha ha haaa

Come on in, no this ain't no dream
Better hold on tight things ain't what they seem, no no no
Don't be afraid if your heart's burning ready to go
Well I love it when I scare you so
From your head down to your - Oh!

Scream until ya like it
Never gonna stop
Scream until ya like it
Get ready to rock
Scream until ya like it
Never gonna stop
Scream until ya like it

I'm sending out little boys to play
You know a trick like that could really make my day -hahaha
My little killers are ready to take you away
Well, I love it when I scare ya so
From your head down to your - Oh!

Scream until ya like it
Never gonna stop
Scream until ya like it
Get ready to rock
Scream until ya like it
Never gonna Stop
Scream until ya like it

Come on in, no this ain't no dream

Scream until ya like it
Never gonna stop
Scream until ya like it
Get ready to rock
Scream until ya like it
Never gonna Stop
Scream until ya like it


12. SHOOT FROM THE HIP

All my life I've taken what I want
Give an inch, take a mile
Always on the hunt
Ooh - sex, money, fast cars, never get my fill
I ride hard and die free
Paying for my thrills
Fire, water, moonshine, going to my head
He and my pistols loaded
Go out and knock'em dead

[Chorus:]
I'm gonna shoot it, bang-boom
Shoot it from the hip
Got it loaded bang, pull the trigger boom
I don't never miss
I'm gonna shoot it, bang-boom
Shoot it from the hip
Got it loaded bang, pull the trigger boom
I don't never miss

Hot sweaty steel, a woman's finger's on my gun
Pull it hard, touch the trigger
Squeeze it when I'm gone
Ooh, come, woman, touch me, put it in your hand
Take a hold heart and soul
Honey, I'm your man
Cock the hammer slowly and aim it at your love
Put my barrel in your holster
Like a velvet glove

[Chorus]

Hot and sticky, here it comes
Emotion you can't tame
Kind a tricky watch it run
Smoking like a flame, flame, flame

Hot and sticky, here it comes
I got the bullet, load it up
Slide it into place
My emotions
Coming down all across your face

[Chorus]


13. WIDOWMAKER

A thousand years I've roamed the plains
And waved the hand of doom
I've seen the tears that fall like rain from the waste and all the ruin
A shadow's cast that falls from me on you
A time to claim
All that's mine
My wrath is blind
The balance is where you hang

I'm the WidowMaker
I'm the Lord of the Wings
I'm the WidowMaker

The cries of sadness never heard
Fall deaf upon my ears
The stench of madness, raging wars
I've seen a million years
The smell of sorrow fills the fields
And lingers in the sky
The littered ground will swallow down
The souls that fill my eyes

I'm the WidowMaker
I'm the Lord of the Wings
I'm the WidowMaker


14. SEX DRIVE

I got a message for you, it's something you love to do
You're thinking bout it all the time
You're lying in bed and it runs through your head
Cause you can't get it off your mind
You been thinking pink and you're losing sleep
That rush is almost all you can stand
You feel it getting hard and your crotch starts to throb
It's body language you understand

I'm talking bout a sex drive
Ooh, it makes you feel so alive
Sex drive
Ooh, it's everything you fantasize

Like a dog in heat all dirty love is a treat
And ya know it's just too good to believe
That feeling second to none, you pull the trigger on your gun baby
Gotta get some relief
Your hands they tremble and sweat and you want all you can get
A need to get close inside
Yeah you can take a lickin' and keep on tickin' cause
You want to go on all night

I'm talking bout a sex drive
Ooh, it makes you feel so alive
Sex drive
Ooh, it's everything you fantasize

Come here and take what you need baby
I'm talking bout a sex drive
Ooh, it makes you feel so alive
Sex drive
Ooh, it's everything you fantasize
Sex drive

Tell me that don't hit the spot!


15. SLEEPING (IN THE FIRE)

Touch, touch in the flame's desire
Feeling the pain's denial
And your finger's in the fire
Look, look in the candle light
See in the flame of life
And my spell our 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 that makes 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 feel what it does and you're drunk on love
You're sleeping in the fire
