1. ALL OVER TOWN

Someone said you was, runnin' 'round
Like you owned the world
It's no secret, you're the talk of the town
You know, the best of the girls

That's right, and now you
Walked right out of my heart
You know it's all over town
I said you walked walked, right right, out of my heart
You know it's all over town
Now it's all over

You're so neat, you're so cute, you're so fine
You know that everybody wants some action
They see you comin' and they act like it's cool
Because they know that somethin's happenin'

That's right, because you
Walked right out of my heart
And now it's all over town
I said you walked walked, right right, out of my heart
You know the word's goin' 'round
Now it's all over, now it's all over

I don't care (he don't care)
I don't care

I don't care care what they say about us anymore
I don't care what they wanna do
Baby all my heart is for you
No matter what happens

There's no reason why we still can't be friends
You know we all need someone we can talk to
No matter what they say, we both know I'm right
After all we've been through

And now you walked right out of my heart
You know it's all over town
I said you walked (walked), right (right), out of my heart
You know the word's goin' 'round
Now it's all over
I said you walked, right out of my heart
I said you walked (walked), right (right), out of my heart
You walked right out of my heart
And now it's all over town


2. TELLIN’ ME LIES

Why should I be embarrassed
Say things I never mean
Worry too much for no reason
Can't last, not the way I'm feelin'

Tellin' me lies, tellin' me lies
Tellin' me lies, tellin' me lies
Tellin' me lies, no alibis

You say you're feelin' restless
I'm sure that's what you said
It's alright, just be on the level
There's no need playin' with my head now (ooh yeah)

Tellin' me lies, tellin' me lies
Tellin' me lies, tellin' me lies
Tellin' me lies, no alibis

Heartaches, always the same story
Heartaches, always the same story
No more sleepless nights alone
Last time, you're gonna lead me on heartaches

Two wrongs don't make it right girl
Someone has to be true
Come on, tell me how you want it
Just don't treat me like a fool (ooh yeah)

Tellin' me lies, tellin' me lies
Tellin' me lies, tellin' me lies
Tellin' me lies, no alibis
Tellin' me lies
Tellin' me lies
Tellin' me lies, tellin' me lies
Tellin' me lies
Tellin' me lies
Tellin' me lies, no alibis


3. SIGN OF THE GIPSY QUEEN

Lightning smokes on the hillrise
Brought the man with the warning light
Shouting loud ";you had better fly";
While the darkness can help you hide
Trouble's comin' without control
No one's stayin' that's got a hope
Hurricane at the very least
In the words of the gypsy queen

Sign of the gypsy queen
Pack your things and leave
Word of a woman who knows
Take all your gold and you go

Get my saddle and tie it on
Western wind who is fast and strong
Jump on back, he's good and long
We'll resist till we reach the dawn
Running seems like the best offense
Staying just don't make any sense
No one could ever stop it now
Show the cards of the gypsy town

Sign of the gypsy queen
Pack your things and leave
Word of a woman who knows
Take all your gold and you go

Shadows movin' without a sound
>From the hold of the sleepless town
Evil seems to be everywhere
Heed the spirit that brought despair
Trouble's comin' without control
No one's stayin' that's got a hope
Hurricane at the very least
In the words of the gypsy queen

Sign of the gypsy queen
Pack your things and leave
Word of a woman who knows
Take all your gold and you go
Sign of the gypsy queen
Pack your things and leave
Word of a woman who knows
Take all your gold and you go
Sign of the gypsy queen
Pack your things and leave
Word of a woman who knows
Take all your gold and you go


4. JUST BETWEEN TOU AND ME

Time and time again I see
A love that seemed strong, was not meant to be
Broken hearts don't always mend
Left too unsure to try love again

Just between you and me
Baby I know our love will be
Just between you and me
Always I know our love will be
Just between you and me

Lovers often seem to say
Hearts can be blind to love gone astray
Always it's the same old song
Someone's been hurt by a love that's gone wrong

Just between you and me
Baby I know our love will be
Just between you and me
Always I know our love will be
Just between you,
Just between you and me

Words are sometimes hard to find
The silence can be so unkind
You always help me find my way
The love that we share grows stronger each day

Just between you and me
Baby I know our love will be
Just between you and me
Always I know our love will be
Seulement entre toi et moi
Means that our love will always be
Just between you and me
Baby I know our love will be
Just between you,
Just between you and me


5. WANNA ROCK

Don't wanna move or get out of bed
That rock 'n' roll's going straight through my head
They say I'm stupid, I really don't care
Whatever they say, well I say that's fair

All I wanna do is rock 'n' roll
All I wanna do is rock and rock some more
Wanna rock, Wanna rock
Wanna rock, Wanna rock

Don't waste my money driving 'round in a car
Save my money for electric guitars
Disco music's just a social disease
If it don't rock me, then it ain't gonna please me

All I wanna do is rock 'n' roll
All I wanna do is rock and rock some more
Wanna rock, Wanna rock
Wanna rock, Wanna rock, Wanna rock

Turn up the music, let's have a good time
Don't pull no punches, lay it right on the line
New wave, old wave, third wave will do
It don't matter when I'm dancing with you

All I wanna do is rock 'n' roll
All I wanna do is rock and rock some more
Wanna rock, Wanna rock
Wanna rock, Wanna rock, Wanna Rock


6. CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE

On assignment to the new world
They said there'd be more chance for war
Missed the shuttle to the main star
They promised they'd be back for more, oh yeah
Then the warships came without a sound
There were at least a hundred of them bearing down

Caught in the crossfire
Caught in a world insane, Lord
War of the empire
No one will be the same, oh
Caught in the crossfire
Caught in a new age war, we were

I heard somebody say we'd be wasted
Under fire we were without defense
My buddy said he had a space van
A long range cruiser, it was our only chance, oh yeah
We could see no way out but one
There was no choice but to try and run

Caught in the crossfire
Caught in a world insane, Lord
War of the empire
No one will be the same, oh
Caught in the crossfire
Caught in a new age war, we were

Odyssey, laser fight
One shot, last fight
Passed the warships through the neutral zone
Our engines sheared the night as we raced for home

Caught in the crossfire
Caught in a world insane, Lord
War of the empire
No one will be the same, oh
Caught in the crossfire
Caught in a new age war, we were
Caught in the crossfire
Caught in a new age war


7. FUTURE TENSE

Each moment's just a reflex
Response is just a motion
The pressure never ends baby
I hope it don't drive me crazy
I don't wanna be a poor boy
It don't help to say gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
I ain't foolin' myself now
All I know is what I feel

I know I don't like it
You can't disagree
Come on, say it'll be alright
I say yeah, yeah, yeah

Future tense, gone too far
Future tense, a world apart
Future tense, more than a feeling in my heart
Oh yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah)

I feel a little unbalanced
Between the pros and the con men
I try for satisfaction
You always let it slide
Every day is like the last day
Whatever happened to 50, 50, 50, 50
I don't have a solution
All I know is what I feel baby

I heard about the good life
I'd like to give it a try
They say it's gonna be alright
I say yeah, yeah, yeah

Future tense, is what I feel
Future tense, is what I see
Future tense, as much for you as it is for me
Oh yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah)

If you don't like somebody
Say "leave me alone"
It's just like a bad time
You have to make good on your own

We're racing through time now
It's all hit and run
You say it's gonna be alright
I say yeah, yeah, yeah

Future tense, we've gone too far
Future tense, a world apart
Future tense, more than a feelin' in my heart
Oh no (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh no (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh no (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh no (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh no (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh no (yeah, yeah, yeah)
No (yeah), no (yeah), no (yeah), oh no


8. BIG CITY GIRLS

Late night hustle goin' down in the city
A one way street on the wrong side of town
Young and foolish, man don't you know
All we could see were

Ladies in the night, walkin' a straight line
Ladies in the night, workin' overtime
Ladies in the night, doin' the hustle
Ladies in the night, flexin' their muscles
Ladies in the night, big city, big city girls

We worked out a deal with some chicks on the corner
Back at the room it was never to be
No one had money and the girls got so uptight

Ladies in the night, walkin' a straight line
Ladies in the night, workin' overtime
Ladies in the night, doin' the hustle
Ladies in the night, flexin' their muscles
Ladies in the night, big city, big city girls, so tough

Baby I know, it's just what I see
Baby I know, it's not what I need
Big city, big city girls

The next thing you know, things got rough, babe
They carved out a warnin' with a switch blade knife
The message was clear, if you wanna play, you gotta pay

Ladies in the night, walkin' a straight line
Ladies in the night, workin' overtime
Ladies in the night, doin' the hustle
Ladies in the night, flexin' their muscles
Ladies in the night, big city, big city girls


9. CRASH AND BURN

They call it the burnout factor, and only the good die young
Somebody's gonna take their life, just tryin' to have some fun
The paper's gonna say we're crazy, no matter what they say, yeah
You know I'm gonna rock all night, gonna rock all night and day

Whenever they quote you man, you'll be misunderstood
They're never gonna get it right, or tell it the way they should
Maybe we move too fast to put it all in a song
And if we keep pushin' ourselves we won't be around too long
If you wanna try it

Crash and burn, crash and burn
Crash and burn, crash and burn all night long

Some people like to take it easy and flow without a sound
Others like to play for keeps and spread themselves around
I don't wanna say it's right, but if that's where you wanna be
Life's too short to miss out on what you wanna see
If you wanna try it

Crash and burn, crash and burn
Crash and burn, crash and burn all night long

Come on now, honey, don't tell me the way I ought to be
You know I don't need nobody talkin' back to me
Hey, I'm gonna live my life the way I think I should
You know I wouldn't change a thing, even if I could
I tell it like it is

Crash and burn, crash and burn
Crash and burn, crash and burn
Baby, crash and burn
I said crash and burn
I said crash and burn


10. BAD BOYS

I look out the window, see the fishes get the run-around
I tell the boys I gotta be movin' on
I'm tired of playin' the game, the ending's always the same
Odds are you won't last too long

I can see you, you can't see me
Don't feel shame no more
I'm not here, you're not there
That I know for sure

Bad boys, they call us
Bad boys, they call us
Bad boys

Left on the street to fend for yourself
You do what you can to get by
The choice is run with the pack
You make a take on the sly
This time I'll go it alone
I'm gonna make good on my own
No more of this foolish pride

I can see you, you can't see me
I don't care no more
I'm not here, you're not there
That I know for sure

Bad boys, they call us
Bad boys, they call us
Bad boys

Don't wanna be in a cell
Don't wanna end up in hell
I know I don't like what I see
Don't want it to happen to me
I gotta get out of this town
No sense in hanging around
Time I found out what I want to be

Nobody wants to run, and nobody wants to hide
The moment of truth becomes a burning inside

Hey look at me, and you'll see
How I've changed my ways
I'm not there, you're not here
Won't have people say

Bad boys, bad boys
Bad boys, see how they run
Bad boys, they call us
Bad boys, they call us
Bad boys, see how they run


11. ONE MORE TIME

The man in the back smokes a pack and a half
Sayin "one more time before we go"
The lady in the front wants to roll with the punches
Just one more shot and then she'll know
Everybody's feelin' alright
Runners on an endless flight, so high

One more time before we go
One more song on the radio
One more time before we go
One more song on the radio

The pretty boys stand just as close as they can
Silhouetting lovers, such a sight
Nobody stares, hey why should they care
You are what you are tonight
Tomorrow we could all fade away
They only wanna live for today, so high

One more time before we go
One more song on the radio
One more time before we go
One more song on the radio
One more time

The world may be comin' apart
The confusion they're feelin' comes straight from the heart
All they know is the need that they have to be free
So let 'em, just let 'em be

The world may be comin' apart
The confusion they're feelin' comes straight from the heart
All they know is the need that they have to be free
So let 'em, just let 'em be

The smoke gets thicker as the night goes on
Shadows dancing through the haze
So outrageous, it's a sonic affair
Only doing as they please
You'll never hear a word about heaven
Or what they'd have to do to fly, so high

One more time before we go
One more song on the radio
One more time before we go
One more song on the radio
One more time, yeah, before we go
One more song on the radio
One more time before we go
One more song on the radio
One more time
