1. FROM THE MOON

(Instrumental)


2. OPEN FIRE

So far somehow I’ve managed to keep
control
It’s time to get them balls free to roll
Save it all up for the right time to let it go,
go, go
Fair warning, be ready
I’m gonna explode

All week long getting primed up for what
we do
And when I get it up
Gonna spend some time with you
Have me some fun
Gonna shoot my guns in the sky
Now you know it’s easy to fly
I’m flying high

[Chorus:]
Open fire when I hit the stage
Gonna open fire
All over this place
Open fire
In a rockin’ rage
I'm gonna open fire

Lights go down
You know I’m gonna tear it up
Gettin’ real gnarly
We’re gonna strut our stuff
Like a short fuse on a stick of dynamite
Full blast, oh, now we’re gonna ignite
Blow up the night, do it right
I’m gonna ignite

[Chorus]

Set me free
Light my fuse
Gonna blow up the night

So far somehow I've managed to keep
control
Well, it’s time to set them balls free to roll
Save it all up for the right time to let it go,
go, go
Fair warning, be ready
I’m gonna explode
You better light my fuse
Get ready
I’m gonna explode

[Chorus]


3. DON'T WANNA LOSE

When you said you’d be mine, girl
Did you mean it for all time?
Or will my love be a memory?
If you ever leave me lonely
Don’t know just where I’d go
’Cause you got all I want
And all I’ll ever need

[Chorus:]
Don’t wanna lose you, don’t wanna lose
No, you can’t say goodbye to our love
Don’t wanna lose you, don’t wanna lose
You got the fire burning my soul
Don’t wanna lose your love

Now you showed me love can be
More than pain and misery
That I felt before you
So hold on tight and don’t let go now
Let the strength in our love grow
Just say you will for eternity

[Chorus]

When you said you’d be mine, girl
Did you mean it for all time?
Or will my love be a memory?
If you ever leave me lonely
Don’t know just where I’d go
’Cause you got all I want
And I ever need

[Chorus]

Don’t wanna lose you, don’t wanna lose
No, you can’t say goodbye to our love

Don’t wanna lose you, don’t wanna lose
You got the fire burning my soul
You’ve got to stay with me
Don’t wanna lose your love
Please tell me that you always will
Don’t wanna lose your love…


4. HELL OR HIGH WATER

Between a rock and a hard place
You put the pressure on me
Something’s gonna break
Long legs, sleazy woman
Starched shirt, corporate head
You steal my heart
You steal my money
And you leave me in the red

Come hell or high water
I said hell or high water

I’m not your boy
And I’m not your toy
You better start seeing me as a man
I didn’t ask you to run my life
I just asked you for a hand
You know I love harmony
But I hate to be much homogenized
I believe that one word of truth
Says more than a thousands lies

Come hell or high water
I said hell or high water


5. FOREVER

I surrender all my love
And you, you make my desire run
Hot, hot as the desert sands
Your eyes have power to warm me
Like no others can
Fallin’, I keep on fallin’
So much deeper, so much deeper for you

[Chorus:]
Forever, forever, forever
Fallin’ for you

High, we’re flyin’ so high tonight
Touch, your touch makes the passion rise
Strong, strong as the mighty sea
I need search no more
You’re the end of rainbow for me

Fallin’, I keep on fallin’
So much deeper, so much deeper for you

[Chorus]

So come, come take my hand
And we’ll ride the winds of heaven
Like only we can

[Chorus]

Forever
Fallin’, fallin’, fallin’
Forever
I keep on fallin’ so deeply
Forever
I guess I’ve fallin’ fallin’ for you
I surrender all to you
I surrender all my love
I surrender all to you
Forever


6. BLACK TIGER

Cat eyes, she draws you in
Hypnotized, she’s under your skin
Beauty to see, but not to touch
In the play of passion
She plays to rough

[Chorus:]
Black tiger, ready to strike
Searchin’ for a victim
In the heat of the night

Cool and collected
She makes no mistakes
If you’re in her territory
You know you’re fair game
Scratch and claw all over your face
She’s playing for keeps, oh no
You better get away

[Chorus:]
Black tiger, ready to strike
Searchin’ for a victim
In the heat of the night
Black tiger, don’t turn your back
You never know when she will attack

Hold out, watch out
Just stay away
She’s gonna hurt you
Then leave you to waste
Watch out, jump back
Her teeth are sharp
If she gets too close
She’s gonna make a mess of your heart

[Chorus]


7. BARROOM BOOGIE

I was getting’ real legless, I was feeling no
pain
Checkin’ out all the women playin’
barroom games
Ratin’ all the women from one to ten
Said: “Bartender set them up again”

Come on, have a drink on me
Cut loose, make it double, three
All right, gonna get me some
Oh man, look what just walked in

A woman so fine calls for sexual crime
I said: “Hey, baby, your crib or mine?”
She said: “Unless you’re a star or got a
Ph.D.
Or lotsa money, honey, don’t you talk to me”

Come on, give me a break
Cut loose, she slapped my face
Oh, I knew it was love
Oh, back off
All I need is love
Come on, lighten up, baby
You gotta give me some, okay
I just need me some love

Asked another sweetie: “Can I buy you a
drink?”
Well she ordered everything but the
barroom sink
So, I figure I got me an investment here
When, oh, King Kong’s double appears
And he don’t share

Come on, I did no wrong
Cut loose, oh, he slid me down the bar
Get down, get back up again
Alright, well the message is clear
Come on, give me a break
Jump back, oh, she slapped my face
Oh, I knew it was love

Woke up next morning with a trash can
head
When I looked to my left, oh know, I
wished I was dead
There’s Frankenstein's daughter all curled
up on me
I said: “I gotta go home, it’s an emergency”
She said: “But you are home”

Come on, threw me back on the bed
Get down, oh, she blew my head
Oh man, never again
Cut loose, too, too loose
Oh no, I’m hittin’ the floor
All right, I give in
Come on baby, let’s do it again
Come on, one more time, baby


8. MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY

Say, baby, yeah I’m talkin’ to you
I’m gonna tell you somethin’
You know what I need, woman?
I tell you what I need
I need respect!
And I’m gonna get it, baby

I was the bad boy of my neighborhood
Lift the girls’ skirts just to show I could
Learned that to succeed you’ve got to have a plan
I’m not always right, but that’s the way I am

I move so fast, almost the speed of sound
Some still are dreaming while I’m gaining ground
I want the best that life has to give
So I’m gonna take all that I can get

[Chorus:]
It’s my way or the highway
That’s the only road you can take
Well it’s my way or the highway
Gotta do it my way or no way at all

No way, no way at all
I am the ruler of my destiny
I found that nothing comes easy or free
If you want respect, you gotta be your own man
Not everyone is gonna understand

Only gonna pay for my own mistakes
And I believe you gotta make your own breaks
Choose my own roads, exits, and turns
If you’re gonna ride with me, then you gotta learn

[Chorus]


9. WINDS OF CHANGE

Look to the stars tonight to find all that I need
Still there’s no sign of the answer that I seek
Gaze through the window of all the faces unknown
Cold, dark, and empty eyes and so far to go

I found the world inside my head no longer turns
It’s lonely emptiness within me that burns
But still I’m searching, searching madly
For the reason of the rhyme
If I could find the answer, I’d have it for all time

I can’t wait for tomorrow
I can’t wait for the stars or the sun or the sea to guide me
I can’t wait for tomorrow
Yet I know that I’ll find

[Chorus:]
Winds of change
Blowing strongly
Winds of change
Whispering

Deep in my heart I’ll find where to start
And follow the light to the end
And the truth will be told for the young and the old
As the winds of change will blow
Never, never, never lonely
Standing on your own
You’ll face the fears of all of your years
And finally it’s you that you know

You can’t wait for tomorrow
You can’t wait for the stars or the sea or the sun to shine on you
You can’t wait for tomorrow
Listen for…
You better listen for

[Chorus]
