Lyrics


1. COME HELL OR HIGH WATER

In the secret garden the lady's waiting for the snake to bite
She will ease your hunger behind the walls of wonder
Where the sun never shines
Never shines

We dance around the moon at night til the first morning light

Come hell or high water
Can't stop myself I'm losing control
Come hell or high water
You know I'll never leave you alone
I'll never leave you alone

We set the house on fire
I touch your flower smell your black perfume
Like a lamb to the slaughter
Wicked woman
She saved me with a devils kiss, devils kiss

We dance around the moon at night til the first morning light

Come hell or high water
Can't stop myself I'm losing control
Come hell or high water
You know I'll never leave you alone
I'll never leave you alone

No, no, no

Come hell or high water
Can't stop myself I'm losing control
Come hell or high water
You know I'll never leave you alone
I'll never leave you alone


2. WHEN THE TRUTH BECOMES A LIE

17 and high, looks into the candles burning all so bright
17 and wild, life is slowly passing by
Paranoid insane razorlove such a lonely game
Hungry feeling cold she's lying wounded on the floor

Broken promises, chasing shadows down the drain
Broken promises, she's riding on a crazy train

That's when truth becomes a lie
Baby when you call livewire
Well it's too late for love
You can't heal my broken heart
That's when truth becomes a lie
Baby when you call livewire
Well it's too late, long gone
You're singing a sad, sad song

Sick and tired of home she's a little runaway in the big bad storm
Dancin' never sleep she kills the pain but there's no relief
Said her last goodbye frozen tears now she's cold as ice
17 and high, life is slowly passing by

Broken promises, chasing shadows down the drain
Broken promises, she's riding on a crazy train

That's when truth becomes a lie
Baby when you call livewire
Well it's too late for love
You can't heal my broken heart
That's when truth becomes a lie
Baby when you call livewire
Well it's too late, long gone
You're singing a sad, sad song

No, no, no here it comes again
No, no, no, riding on a crazy train

That's when truth becomes a lie
Baby when you call livewire
Well it's too late for love
You can't heal my broken heart
That's when truth becomes a lie
Baby when you call livewire
Well it's too late, long gone
You're singing a sad, sad song


3. ROAD OF DESIRE

I realized not so long ago
Got the big city blues with my backs to the wall
But everything's alright
I am running with the devil's daughter
Hands on the wheel cross the border line
Drive real hard with my arms in the sky
I guarantee you expectation's running wild
We'll be spending my last dime

Down the road of desire
I burn on the flame
I'm getting higher and I will never be the same
Down the road of desire
It runs through my veins
So many reasons
But baby here I go now, here I go again

I'm no shooting star you'll remember my name
There's no turning back we got fortune and fame
Demon driver takes me on a rock 'n' roll crusade
Dust on my boots and grass on my knees
I'll do it to you baby you don't have to plead
Well everything's alright I am running with devil's daughter
Cross the border line

Down the road of desire
I burn on the flame
I'm getting higher and I will never be the same
Down the road of desire
It runs through my veins
So many reasons
But baby here I go now, here I go again

Loser in love walking the wire
My burning heart set the world on fire

Down the road of desire
I burn on the flame
I'm getting higher and I will never be the same
Down the road of desire
It runs through my veins
So many reasons
But baby here I go now, here I go again


4. HOLD ON

I can't believe that it's over
Feels like standing in the rain, life means nothing without you
Miss you in the morning, miss you late at night
I still hear your laughter it cuts like a knife

I've been living without your love for so many days

They said our love would never last forever
It's in my arms you belong my friend
But I know we'll always be together
Whatever it takes
I hold on to you

I don't know why you're leaving or why you have to go
Loving you ain't easy baby that's for sure
Now I sit alone and wonder, baby what went wrong
So many things I wanna say to you now that you're gone

I've been living without your love for so many days

They said our love would never last forever
It's in my arms you belong my friend
But I know we'll always be together
Whatever it takes
I hold on to you

I could climb any mountain cross the ocean too
Walk through fire and water just to be with you, just to be with you

I've been living without your love for so many days

They said our love would never last forever
It's in my arms you belong my friend
But I know we'll always be together
Whatever it takes
I hold on to you


5. CALLING YOUR LOVELINE

I've been waiting all of my life
Time is a runner like a thief in the night
Oh but I know I've seen the light
I'm going through changes losing my pride
It's late in the morning and it's cold outside
I need you now, now more than ever

I was there when love started baby and I'll be here til the end

Callin' your loveline
So you know that I still care
Callin' your love line
Say my name and I'll be there
Callin' your love line
So you know that I still care
Callin' your love line
Lay your cards on the table
You know the words I'd die to hear

Over and over I'm lost and found
You opened the door to this big old house
Seems like this ghost will haunt me forever
Magic mirror don't tell me no lies
That girl is poison to my mind
Placing stardust in my eyes

I was there when love started baby and I'll be here til the end

Callin' your loveline
So you know that I still care
Callin' your love line
Say my name and I'll be there
Callin' your love line
So you know that I still care
Callin' your love line
Lay your cards on the table
You know the words I'd die to hear


6. SOULSTEALER

It's a one way ride when we travel by the speed of light
There's no return, dust to dust
Looking back we crashed and burned
And time stands still, no more lies
There's no tunnel, there's no light
Live fast die young
As we ride into the sun

Soulstealer
Is comin' round the bend
It's the soulstealer
Time and time again
Look out the soulstealer
Is comin' round the bend
It's the soulstealer
Time and time again

He's the king of thieves, feel the power
Hide in shadows when he laughs and steals
Face the animal they say is real
Spread your wings, fly in your dreams
Take my hand don't be afraid
It's just a rock 'n' roll crusade
Live fast, die young
As we ride into the sun

Soulstealer
Is comin' round the bend
It's the soulstealer
Time and time again
Look out the soulstealer
Is comin' round the bend
It's the soulstealer
Time and time again

Soulstealer
Is comin' round the bend
It's the soulstealer
Time and time again
Look out the soulstealer
Is comin' round the bend
It's the soulstealer
Time and time again

Soulstealer comin' to get ya


7. I GOT WHAT IT TAKES

Babe I'm still loving you
Well if you open up your heart let me show you what love is about
I got what it takes

Can you hear me when I call out your name
Do you see me through fire and rain
The road's been long and hard I know sometimes I feel like a rolling stone
So I drink another bottle of wine and dream of you

Baby I got what it takes
To give you love through a lifetime
Open your heart and you'll see that it's true
Baby I got what it takes
To give you love through a lifetime
Open your heart and you'll see that it's true
Babe it's true, still lovin' you

I've been waiting
Summer's gone leaves are falling outside
Thousand letters to express what I'm feeling inside
The road's been long and hard I know sometimes l feel like a rolling stone
So I drink another bottle of wine and dream of you

Baby I got what it takes
To give you love through a lifetime
Open your heart and you'll see that it's true
Baby I got what it takes
To give you love through a lifetime
Open your heart and you'll see that it's true
Babe it's true, still lovin' you

Baby loving you is pleasure and pain I guess I'm fooling myself
I ain't been sleeping since I don't know when
Say you will again, and again

Baby I got what it takes
To give you love through a lifetime
Open your heart and you'll see that it's true
Baby I got what it takes
To give you love through a lifetime
Open your heart and you'll see that it's true
Babe it's true, still lovin' you


8. LIFE IS A MISSION

You took away all my sorrows
I'm addicted to the sound
I could beg steal or borrow
For this good thing that I've found
I believe, I believe all my dreams have finally come true
It was more than a feeling to me
I'm such a fool for you

Cross my heart and hope to die
But my rivers all went dry when she said her last goodbye

Make no decisions and no promise you can't keep
You got to face the reality
Make no decisions and no promise you can't keep
When your life's a mission
One way ticket is all you need

When you love somebody honestly
There's no mountain too high and no river seems too deep
And the light in the end of tunnel is burning like a flame
Look a little closer you'll see an uncoming train

Cross my heart and hope to die
But my rivers all went dry when she said her last goodbye

Make no decisions and no promise you can't keep
You got to face the reality
Make no decisions and no promise you can't keep
When your life's a mission
One way ticket is all you need

Make no decisions and no promise you can't keep
You got to face the reality
Make no decisions and no promise you can't keep
When your life's a mission
One way ticket is all you need

When your life's a mission


9. THE REASON I LIVE

Everytime I touch you baby my river seems to overflow
I can feel it's now or never so take my hand and don't let go
I've been waiting such a long, long time
Just to make you mine, all mine

You are the reason I live
You are the reason I die
You are the reason I live when I'm on my knees and cry
You are the reason I live
You are the reason I die
You are the reason I live as time and years go by
You're the only reason why

Never thought that I'd be guilty
I stand accused for what I'm feeling inside
There's a special kind of magic

Special magic in the air tonight
I've been waiting such a long, long time
Just to make you mine, all mine

You are the reason I live
You are the reason I die
You are the reason I live when I'm on my knees and cry
You are the reason I live
You are the reason I die
You are the reason I live as time and years go by
You're the only reason why

So now we're standing at the crossroad
And you're wondering which way to go

You are the reason I live
You are the reason I die
You are the reason I live when I'm on my knees and cry
You are the reason I live
You are the reason I die
You are the reason I live as time and years go by
You're the only reason why


10. LOVE AND DEVOTION

She sits and wonders by the railroadtrack
The past is gone so far away
She closes her eyes and slowly drifts away
A breeze reminds her of yesterday
When peace and love was here to stay
But now she lives her life from day to day
They say the wounds will heal but it can't erase the pain you feel
Oh why can't you see
The dreams in your life is just a fanta........syy yeah

She's my angel sad and blue, living on the edge
Now there's trouble on the lose
Smoking, drinking pink champagne on ice
Hotel California, what a nice surprise

Used to know you baby, used to call you mine
I've seen her in the park and she looks to be alright
Full moon rising and there's nothing I can do
Sweet child of mine now your mama sings the blues

We ride the storm and thunder and now you're bringin' me down

Love and devotion
She don't come around anymore
Deep as the ocean
Kicking down my backdoor
It's over, it's over

This is not the last time, I know love will shine
Down on us together, til the end of time
Lately when you're leaving, it's been hard to understand
When you say you love me, it's just love letters in the sand

We ride the storm and thunder and now you're bringin' me down

Love and devotion
She don't come around anymore
Deep as the ocean
Kicking down my backdoor
It's over, it's over

Love and devotion
She don't come around anymore
Deep as the ocean
Kicking down my backdoor
It's over, it's over


11. COMING HOME

I drink my whisky in the morning by the pool, watching the moon
All my memories are drowning
Who am I, ain't got a clue

Oh, it's been seven days of wonder
Oh yeah, speeding down the road
Oh, I know little miss lady midnight
Oh yeah, well she saved my soul

Comin' home I'm on the right direction
Comin' home to get my piece of the action
I want that sweet satisfaction today

I've been up and down the highway I've seen all there is to see
Paradise is coming closer
Little lady set me free

Oh, it's been seven days of wonder
Oh yeah, speeding down the road
Oh, I know little miss lady midnight
Oh yeah, well she saved my soul

Comin' home I'm on the right direction
Comin' home to get my piece of the action
I want that sweet satisfaction today

Baby please you know I'm coming home today
Oh, been so long since you been away
We're so bad, I spill my love all over you in a room full of mirrors
Lady midnight she's been giving me the blues
Now she sets me free
You know it's meant to be

Comin' home I'm on the right direction
Comin' home to get my piece of the action
I want that sweet satisfaction today


12. ENDLESS DREAM

Goodbye everybody I got to go again
I realize the life I live is driving you insane
I'm leaving in the morning just before the dawn
I have to find the passage back the place where I was born

Be strong my friend
Be strong my friend
Be strong today
Cause tomorrow I'll be back again

I don't know where I'm going
But I sure knows where I've been
I've walked this endless lonely road to hell and back again
And sometimes this road is a stranger and sometimes it's my friend
I never stop, I never will I hope you'll understand

Be strong my friend
Be strong my friend
Be strong today
Cause tomorrow I'll be back again

I'll be back again
