1. OUT OF THE NIGHT

Your mama told you baby, I'm not the man for you
And what your daddy told you darlin, ain't nothin'
but the truth!
I'm a rocker, I'm a roller,
I'm a stone cold drinking man
I'm gonna give you lovin', the only way I can
So don't you worry baby, I'll be there by your side
Out of the night, I come to take your love
Out of the night, I've got to have your love

I'm a reckless outlaw, a renegade by trade
All I've got is this guitar, and that's how it's gonna stay
I'll find time to love you, you know I'll do it right
I'll find time to love you, and I'll make you feel alright
Out of the night, I'll give you all you need
Out of the night, so late at night, I hear you plead
You're, you're what I need tonight.


2. STICK IT

The old man told me "Hey you! Make a choice.
You can the music and stop all the noise,
Or you can get out and find your own way!"
I told him "Stick it." My rock's here to stay.
No. No. I can't live without it
No. No. It just ain't the same
No. No. Ain't no doubt about it
So rock me again!

I wanna roll it and burn it all night
Me and my Chevy don't stop for no lights
Crankin' the metal, blastin' the plant
They wanna catch me, betcha they can't!

I'm out on the road, and I'm rockin'!

Stick it!

I'm out on the road, there's no stoppin'
I'm out on the road and I'm rockin'
I'm out on the road and I'm gone.


3. SUBSTITUDE

You think we look pretty good together?
You think my jeans are made of leather?
Well I'm a substitute for another guy
I look pretty tall, but my heels are high
Simple things you see are all complicated
Look pretty young but I'm just backdated
Substitute your lies for fact
I see right through that Satan crap
I look all white but my dad was black
My fine lookin' suit's really made out of sack

I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth
North side of my town faced East and East was facing South
And now you dare to look me in the eye
Those crocodile tears that you cry
A genuine problem, you won't try to work it out at all
Just pass it by
Pass it by

Substitute

Me for him
My coke for gin
You for my mom
At least I'll get my washin' done

Substitute


4. BAD BOYS

Young boy. A hard, gin, ride. On the loose again
"Live fast to play both sides. I'm out to win.
I'm no loser. I have nothing to lose.
My life ain't easy, but it's mine to use.
Raised on the streets I know
To get what you want you gotta take control"
I'm on the run... bad boys
I'm on the loose... bad boys
I'm on my way. I've paid my dues
Pull of the trigger, time starts to crawl
Two lives have ended when the hammer falls
Raised on the streets I know
To get what you want you gotta take control

The lost years were long each night was cold
The way I felt? Feel the snow.
I've done my time, paid what I owed
Don't want those walls of steel and stone

I put myself behind the wall
Now that I'm back
Ain't gonna fall


5. ON YOUR KNEES

I can take you up, I can tear you down
I'm a heat wave comin' at you
Takin' what I please, fallin' on your knees
You need me, yes you do.
From the moment I take over
You're gonna call me back for more
Down on your knees

Knockin' down your door, pull you to the floor
'Cause you need it, so bad
Takin' what I choose, never gonna lose
I love to drive the young girls wild
Gonna drive my love inside you
Gonna nail your ass to the floor
Down on your knees

Here I come now baby, kickin' down your door
Here I come now baby, pull you to the floor
Takin' what I choose girl, I'm never gonna lose
I love to drive the young girls wild
Drivin' my love inside of you
Down on your knees


6. STREETKILLER

Every life has a price, every fool throws the dice
Even the winners have to pay. Every dog has its day
So watch out, watch what you do.
Someone's lookin' for you

It's the law of the land. Every fire burns a hand
Every chance that you take might turn out to be your last mistake

Streetkiller

Lay down your life, you'll pay the price
Lay down your life, you're in his sights
Streetkiller
...He's lookin' for you
...He's out for your blood
...He's playing your game
Needle and Spoon
...He's hard on your arse
Streetkiller


7. NO BETTER THAN HELL

Closing your eyes to the truth that surrounds you
Won't make life easy to take
Filling your heart with the hate that inflames you
Just makes it burn out and break.

Want someone to love you? Want someone to care?
Want someone there by your side?
But you're building walls of plaster, building walls of bone
Now there's nowhere left to hide

No better than hell, no, the way that you feel
No better than hell, no, the way that you are

Waiting all time for a soul to embrace you
Just makes you lonely and old
Turning your back on the lover who needs you
Turns the world slowly and cold

Want someone to love you? Want someone to care?
Want someone there by your side?
But you're living off disaster, living on your own
While everyone's taking their sides

No better than hell, no, the way that you feel
No better than hell, no, the way that you are

Want someone to love you? Want someone to care?
Want someone there for a friend
But you're burning all your bridges, burning down your home
Burning the wax at both ends

No better than hell, no, the way that you feel
No better than hell, no, the way that you are

No better than hell, no, the way that you feel
No better than hell, no, the way that you are

No!


8. HOLD ON

Staring out my window
See their faces, they can't hide.
Strangers from a daydream
Running rabid, pass me by.

I'm just one man
Caught in a world's confusion
Look for a way out
Can't find no "easy solution"...
But I'll try... to make it all that I need
Don't say die
Gotta hold on
Gotta hold on one more
Gotta hold on
Gotta hold on one more
One more day

Been around. I've seen it all
Heard all the lies
Sure I've had my blue days
But got no time to cry

The makers and takers that never give back
They got me running, they're dogs on my tracks


9. NIGHTMARES

Got a head full of fever
My body's wracked with pain
Staring into blackness
Something's waiting there for me

Try to hold to my senses
But darkness has its hand on me
Stripping back the covers leavin'
A bed of doubt and agony

It's in the shadows... waiting

Nightmares

Parasites sucking on my veins
Unholy fears are coming true
I wish I could sleep
In the silent deep
And escape this insanity


10. DEAD END

Desperate and a loser
A failure at his trade
Nothin' more to live for
Decision that he made
He said that he's sorry
But that won't work this time
End of the line

Bargained for his freedom
His last chance to run
Forced into a corner
And killed by his own gun

Can't take it, can't take it, can't take it no more

End of the line
