1. I CAN' DO (WITHOUT YOU)

Hard day - dead on my fast
Fast road - sit back in my seat
Pass a truck - take a chance
Long way to go - before i get sleep

It's getting late - time to pull in
A cup of coffee - a friendly grin
Hey babe . Get of my shirt
I've done my bit
Now it's your turn to wrk

Yeah

I can do without the drugs
I can do without the booze
I can do without the women
And the city sleez

[Chorus:]
But i can't do without
The rock'n'roll and you

I think of her - tucked up in bed
My head is raging' all the things i said
I'm nearly dyin'
I'll make it home
Just as soon you think


2. CRIME TIME

Let's talk about the war
Time to consider
So much of death and hate
We all deliver

The eye for an eye
Runs like a mad dog 'round in circles
Now surely everything
Will turn to purple

Some day we're all gonna die
But peace doesn't heal
How long should i cry
Hold back what i feel

[Chorus:]
Crime time, all around
Let' break the sound
Crime time spreading out, yeah
How , when, why again
You, my friend
Crime time where did you hide?

I heard the guy on tv
Sayin' serves them right
Does that explain
What crime time really justifies


3. LIKE EAGLES FLY

Darkness and silence all around
Gazing with you at the stars
I take your hand into mine
With you i wanna fly

An eagle i wish to become
I reach out and give you a star
A rainbow would color my wings
And nothing would stop us fly

I know i can't but i'd like to try
Oh, oh, as free as a bird
With you to the sky, oh, oh
With you i could fly,
I would fly

[Chorus:]
Like eagles fly
I'd fly away with you
Away with you

The two of us lying here
But our hearts have drifted apart
I see that look in your eyes
Our souls melt into one


4. MUSIC

Back to back
In a violent tempered rage
Another war
Between us neighbours
In the minds of fools there
Are just enough mistakes
To make them fight it out
For nothing

On our knees, we're crawling
Through the dark
Out of touch
And sickened by the truth
Time's running' out,
So try to make your mark
As we return
To seek for our truth

[Chorus:]
Music, revive us, unite us
In this crazy world
Music let's make it,
Enjoy it
Music i'm all yours
I know now what i'm
Living for
Lift me, boses me,
Surprise me!

Look at me, do you see
That spark arise
For these a whole new world
Around me
No more lie,s i'm much
Stronger than i was
And i know
Which way to go now

Stayin' alive,
No livin' in the past
We carry on,
Regardless of reality
Images of pain
Reflected on our faces
No turning' back for here i am


5. TURNIN' TO STONE

I've sold everything
I'e given up my soul
To the devil
But i'm not sure
If i'll make it that way
Why don't you just
Let me handle it

This world is mad, mad
But aren't we all
Does anyone know
Where it went wrong?

[Chorus:]
Turnin' to stone
I wish i'd find a way
Turnin' to stone
Just let me dream away

Still hanging around
The fags and booze
Are takin' me under
"life's for livin'"
I'm hearing you say
You shouldn't take it
So serious

Maybe one day
I will get it together
A future,
A clear piece of mind
Don't give up, keep the hope
'Cos before it's all gone,
Yeah yeah...


6. MIDNIGHT BLUES

The bar is packed with chicks
No one is missing
I think i'll drop by
The feel in' is high
I'll show me i'm not too old

I'll obsess her,
Oh, i'll caress her
Maybe undress her
She's in double trouble
I'll blow her away like a bubble
I'll amuse her, seduce her
She's all mine

[Chorus:]
Not tonight - oh she refused me
Really abused me
Not tonight - never have dreamed
It would happen to me
Not tonight - i don't date guys
What a jerk, i could see that woman
Was wasting my time

My lonely midnight blues

This failure blew my mind
I won't let it hang on me
Just like a lover spurned
Now that's history
Oh i won't stay alone
Gotta take it - one last go


7. LONG LIVE ROCK

Easy legs,
Easy girls for money
They'll walk out on your arm
When there's a dollar
In your hand
Don't tell me what you think
You don't know
Spending time alone
For a cheque
That just won't show

I walk out in a park
Late at night
Try to run my engine down
Say i live a crazy life
I don't like listenin'
What the people say
'Cos once you start
You'll never stop

Who - oh!
Now you put your act together
(now we've got our act together)
Who - oh!
Gonna make it big this time
Who - oh!
You know it's now or never
Who - oh!
This mountain we will climb

[Chorus:]
Long live rock - we play and take at the money
Long live rock - with our heart, with our soul
Long live rock - no nothing's gonna stop us
Long live rock - yeah, tomorrow comes, we go!

Live for now,
Party on and don't you worry
Be happy shout out loud
And don't you give a damn
Just be proud of the land
Your rock comes from
No one can take away
The culture you have found


8. WINE WOULD DO

Talkin' of love this time
I'd say it's like a rhyme
Could happen any time
In anybody's mind

I'm not too good with rhymes
I fall in love sometimes
They introduced you ago me
I'm like a cat up a tree

[Chorus:]
Yes, thanks, wine would
But i won't mess with you
Yes, thanks. I'm just fine
So stay on the other side

I always take my time
To watch when you sit
And think my love
But i think you're the one
Who takes me for a stupid price

I love your funny smile
Though it is only
For a little while
I lick your wounds of fear
You think my tongue's a spear
It's funny the way you think
I don't love you by force
How i wish i was a shrink
Make you believe i'm all yours

I'm not good with lies
So i leave them behind
Look right into my eyes
Nothing but love you'll find

[Chorus:]
I know wine would do
I know you're just fine
So stay on my side


9. DON'T CRY NOW

Close the door,
Don't let it all begin
Lock it up,
And run as fast as you can
Settle down, be a child
And come with me
Change the sheets,
Build your own easy street

You won't be alone
Someone will be there
Waiting for you

[Chorus:]
Don't cry now, you'll find out
Everything is real
A simple touch can make it
All seem so clear
Stand up now, make up now
Life is in your hands
The tale is told
But in a mighty land
(built upon sand)
They say
That all roads lead to rome

Spare your heart,
Go out and bare your brest
Follow on
As the sun sets to west
Once more, you will rise
As glory dawns
Soon you'll see,
Life is worth liven' for


10. BLACK CAT

For five boring years i've been
Looking for you - black cat
The moment i found you i
Thought this would mess up my
Fate and make things better
You called me your
Cuddly mouse and i climbed
That tempting ladder
Unprepared for a trap, i ate
Your plastic fruit

[Chorus:]
I know i was mad
So mad that i missed the
Moment i should have fled

I know i was close
You nearly killed me
With tour black old claws

I know i was green
But is it something
You could call a sin

Run, hide, push black
One thing i know is that i'll
Never cross your path

I won't deny stain' up
Until dawn
And thinking why and when
And what went wrong

But that only shows
The new me has been born
Into circumstances
In which i've been thrown

I can't figure it out why i've
Snoozed through those years
Without knowing
That it would all end in tears

Did i deserve to start,
To start with you, black cat


11. GOOD AND BAD

I'm good and bad,
I don't know which will prevail
Thunder and lightning
The thigh of terror excites me

The red eyed vampire of hell
Is running right thru' my dreams
I'd like him to take me
With him sometimes

[Chorus:]
Love conquers
The devil's evil play
I want to hold you again

When i'm alone
In the dead of the night
The demon's laughing at me
Thunder roars
I feel him calling
Without you by my side
I let him get even with me
I need your look
Your eye take away my fear


12. HELIOS

I had a dream
Big yellow ball tried to kill me
Fire in the sea
But the flames were extinguished

I woke up sweating
My dream had come true
The summer started
Now i'm here with you

Give me a shelter
Filled up with ice
I really feel like
A sight for sore eyes

[Chorus:]
Helios - there comes the night
Helios - come on and fight

I sped out the door
Let the phone keep on ringing
"well meet on the beach"
Says the girl i'm in love with

Now he ins laved her
But i'm not impressed
We wanted gold
Took it back to our nest

I found that shelter
Packed up with ice
But if he finds me
There goes my ninth life


13. DREAMS

14. BLACK CAT (PUERTO RICAN VERSION)

For five boring years i've been
Looking for you - black cat
The moment i found you i
Thought this would mess up my
Fate and make things better
You called me your
Cuddly mouse and i climbed
That tempting ladder
Unprepared for a trap, i ate
Your plastic fruit

[Chorus:]
I know i was mad
So mad that i missed the
Moment i should have fled

I know i was close
You nearly killed me
With tour black old claws

I know i was green
But is it something
You could call a sin

Run, hide, push black
One thing i know is that i'll
Never cross your path

I won't deny stain' up
Until dawn
And thinking why and when
And what went wrong

But that only shows
The new me has been born
Into circumstances
In which i've been thrown

I can't figure it out why i've
Snoozed through those years
Without knowing
That it would all end in tears

Did i deserve to start,
To start with you, black cat
