1. THIS AIN'T LOVE

I just remembered as the clock hit nine
You were waitin' I lost track of the time.
Funny thing but when I talk to you
There's always something that I just can't do

I could go through the motions
I could play your game
But don't you push it too far

This ain't love that I'm feelin'
This ain't the love that I know
This ain't love that I'm feelin'
This ain't the love that I know

You don't get better than this girl
You're the one calling the shots
But try to feel the fever like I do
When it gets too hot

I could go through the motions
I could play your games
But don't you push it too far, baby

This ain't love that I'm feelin'
This ain't the love that I know
This ain't love that I'm feelin'
This ain't the love that I know


2. SHE'S GONE

I look back, and can't help thinking, it wasn't so bad
now that time has passed.
It's funny how you change and rearrange,
but it just won't last.
Time after time
I wish that I had called you
Time after time Oh, but I let you get away.

She's gone, she's gone
I never realized what I had until she was gone.
She's gone, and she's never coming back
never coming back.

I found a picture of you and me, it brought back
a flood of memories.
I try to forget, I try to erase
But it just won't last.
Time after time
I thought I wouldn't need you.
Time after time and now I spend my nights alone.

She's gone, she's gone
I never realized what I had until she was gone.
She's gone, and she's never coming back
never coming back.

I can't forget
The time we had together
She's gone
In dreams I call your name
I don't think I'll ever be the same.

She's gone, she's gone
I never realized what I had until she was gone.
She's gone, and she's never coming back
never coming back.


3. WRONG SIDE OF TOWN

Life on the street ain't what it used to be
Life on the run, look what it's done to me
The city at night, has got nothing to say
So if you come and see it get out of my way.

I'm living on the wrong side of town
I'm living on the wrong side of town.

Street-Kid, beat-kid through and through
I got more, 'cause I'm better than you.
You don't know the meaning of scared
Until you've been thrashed, until you've been dared.

I'm living on the wrong side of town
I'm staying on the wrong side of town, 'cause I like it.

Ain't no hope when you're all alone
Stay there too long and you won't make it home.
The street's are mean and the nights are cold,
I warned you once, so now you've been told.

I'm living on the wrong side of town
I'm skidding on the wrong side of town
You'd better meet me on the wrong side of town
Cause I..I'm living on the wrong side of town.


4. GIRL FROM LAST NIGHT'S DREAM

Late night, slipping into darkness, waiting for the dreams to come
Bright light, smoky silhouette dressed
In a dream, gotta get me some.
Through the haze, I saw a girl I still can't quite believe
I've got a hell of an imagination, if this is what it conceived.

I wanna meet her, the girl from last night's dream
I wanna meet her, the girl from last night's dream.

Can't go living with illusion but now I'll just have to try
I know dreams are what she's made of
But I don't want to say goodbye.
We did some things I shouldn't talk about
But how good she made me feel
I woke with a smiling face, 'til I found out she wasn't real.

I wanna meet her, the girl from last night's dream
I wanna meet her, the girl from last night's dream.

This is no ordinary dream girl
She's the on I want for me.


5. COMING TO GET YOU

We've been watching your movements, and what you do at night
Our interest lies in your business, but something's just not right.
Should've thought when you started; you're in way over your head
We hold a piece of your action... but you've been cutting our bread.

It's the name of the game; only the strong survive
We don't want to have to do this but we've got to stay alive.

We don't take 'no' for an answer,
it's never easy when you sell your soul
Don't think you'll get away with it.
We're just bringing home the devil's own.

There's no place you can hide.. and the law won't protect you
The orders come from the top, and there's nothing we can do.

We're coming to get you, we know where you are
We know what you do
We're coming to get you, we know where you go
We're following you
We're coming to get you, we know where you are
We know what you do
We're gonna get you, we're gonna get you.

It's too late to say you're sorry for it
It's the luck of the draw,
we're gonna make an example of you.
You come quietly now,
Cause we're gonna do what we've gotta do.

We're coming to get you, we know where you are
We know what you do
We're coming to get you, we know where you go
We're following you


6. FANTASY

You jump when they call you
and no one ever gives you your due.
You work so hard to do what's expected of you
You must wonder sometimes; you must wonder sometimes
If the life you're living is really what you wanted to do
Was there a wild man once, fighting to get outside of you?
And don't you wonder sometimes?; don't you wonder sometimes?

If your fantasy could have been reality
If your fantasy could have been reality
Don't you wonder? Isn't it true..

That all your life you were working for another man,
never for you
And every year goes by, puts another wall up
But what can you do?
I wonder sometimes; don't you wonder sometimes?

If your fantasy could have been reality
If your fantasy could have been reality

Did you give it up too easily? A dream you'd never try
Don't just let it pass you by.

'Cause your fantasy could have been reality
Your fantasy could have come true.


7. HE'S A CHAMPION

Who goes there?... A stranger... Stand and state your name
I come to fight for my people on this cold night
A champion acclaimed
His brow is furrowed deeper from the scars,
Of a hundred fights before
But the challenger who's reaching for his crown
Brings him back to fight once more.

He's a champion, a mighty war machine
He's a champion, by his strength revealed

He walks with kings and commoners alike
and all have heard his fame
When you have tasted the fountain of the Gods
Can earthly pleasure ever be the same.

In the clearing motionless he waits
As he has so many times
His opponent prepares himself in haste
The moment has arrived

He's a champion, a mighty war machine
He's a champion, by his strength revealed

Thinking now of younger days that never seemed to end
and sees how, he's known no love but the will to win

Quick and ruthless, he closes for the kill
He knows the ancient law.
For every man who by the sword has stood
by the sword must fall.

He's a champion.


8. STATE LINE

Driving down the road a thousand miles an hour,
hoping that the rain won't fall
A dry road's a fast road and I've got a long way to go
Got to get beyond the sirens howl.
Had a little trouble in a low down booze joint
Just passing through town
Twenty seconds later there's a man on the floor
And I'm running form the sheriff of the town.

Gotta make it to the state line
Can I escape the land of the free
Gotta make it to the state line
They're never gonna get there hands on me.

Try turning on the radio
police say they're closing in quickly on the suspect
Sweat running down in rivers on my brow
I'm not a criminal but now there's no turning back.

Gotta make it to the state line
Can I escape the land of the free
Gotta make it to the state line
They're never gonna get there hands on me.

Now I'm gunning for the border
As the sirens split the sky
In the name of law and order
But I refuse to die.

Gotta make it to the state line
Can I escape the land of the free
Gotta make it to the state line
They're never gonna get there hands on me.

I'm gunning for the border; Gunning for the border
I'm running gunning for the border
I can see it up ahead now
There it is, there it is
Shift gears and I'm on my way.


9. BURNING LOVE

I've got a fire running through a shattered soul
It burns hot, when the nights are bitter cold
Deep inside I don't know what to feel
I'm a victim of a broken heart that will never heal.

Like the light that never went out
If only I could live without this

Burning love now there's nothing left to hide
Burning love this emptiness inside
Burning love it's racing through the night
Smoke's in my eyes; This fire has broken loose.
Flames all around, closing in like a hangmans noose.
You left your mark and slipped away unseen
A lonely trail from every heart and place you've ever been.

The fire burns even as you grow old
First to feel and the last to be told.

Burning love now there's nothing left to hide
Burning love this emptiness inside
Burning love it's racing through the night
Burning love lighting up the sky
Burning love never knowing why
Burning love this love won't work out right.
