Disc One:

1. TOP OF THE BILL

You're a rock-n-roll star
You are out of the charts
Your blood is cold you're getting old
But your life is rock-n-roll

That crazy rock-n-roll band
Is spinning in your head (in your head)
Each and every way ya make the thoughts
Is about stars on the chart

Ohhh... and they are top of the bill

You're a rock-n-roll star
You've been the first one on the chart
You've had glory and fame
Rock-n-roll was your game

Ohhh... and you were top of the bill

[Solo]


2. DRIFTING SUN

Well, sitting on a stone,
Sitting all alone,
Sticky things are rolling down the mountain.
Well, see the lonesome tramp
Who's living in the damp
Nobody's in the valley

Shine on, shine on, Sun - oh it's so cold right here
Shine on, shine on, Sun - shine on all night long

Daydreams are of silent blue
Icy wings will carry you.
Midnight Sun will never shine
Just ravings of a fool you think
And laugh about him all the time.

Shine on, shine on, Sun - oh it's so cold right here
Shine on, shine on, Sun - shine on all night long

White pale velvet Autumn Sun will fade away
Forgotten Life will finish now in endless grey.
Some days are drifting haze
Some days are glowing blaze
Some days are tides of life...

Staggerin' along a tropic highway
Crazy lights are whirling 'round and 'round
Hell or heaven - Night or Day?
Burning fingers push the Sun away...

Shine on, shine on, Sun...


3. SUN IN MY HAND

Yeah... I'd like to tell you something now
Before madness shows her lucid feathers in the Sky...

How can you lose your mind
How can you waste your time only like that ?
Look at the sun inside of my hand so bright
I call it music -
And if you touch you'll see
It comes from infinity
It's made forever
You will not touch in vain
Music will make you sane
Will make you sane


4. LONGING FOR FIRE

Flying with the guys
And my longing for fire
Crying like last night
The night which brings me higher

In search of light
Escape the night one day
She's lost in time
Just miss so high
Time's passing by and i'm
I'm on my way

In search of light
Escape the night one day
She's lost in time
Just miss so high
Time's passing by and i'm
I'm on my way


5. CATCH YOUR TRAIN

Wake up man it's late but not too late,
It's six o'clock like everyday!

Get your things run and forget the rain,
Take power pills don't miss your train!

And you'd like to be another
A different guy and a better lover
For your love, for your life check your way.
And you like the Rock'n'Roller
A different life and Whisky Cola
But don't be low keep your own style
And catch your train!

Don't be lazy man and work off your ass,
He's the boss you've gotta do what he says!

Catch your train, run and forget those ways,
Keep it cool it's not too late!

And you'd like to be another
A different guy and a better lover
For your love, for your life check your way.
And you like the Rock'n'Roller
A different life and Whisky Cola
But don't be low keep your own style
And catch your train!


6. VIRGIN KILLER

Cry like you feel,
Try like you feel, feel it ...!
Try to escape,
Cry to escape, escape it ...!
It's so hard to run away
He's a virgin killer ...

No, no, no, can't you see?
No, no, no, can't you see?
You're a demon's, you're a demon's,
You're a demon's desire!

Death on the screen,
Sadistic magazines, watch out
Suicides everyday,
Political ways, get it
Well, you can't find new ways ...
But he's a virgin killer ...

No, no, no, can't you see?
No, no, no, can't you see?
You're a demon's, you're a demon's,
You're a demon's desire!

[Solo]

Garbage in the streams,
A-bombs in your dreams, look out
Sharks in the pictures,
Exorcist prescriptions, forget it
Try to get away from that,
Cos he's a virgin killer ...

No, no, no, can't you see?
No, no, no, can't you see?
You're a demon's, you're a demon's,
You're a demon's desire!


7. HELL CAT

Fire in her eyes ... burn ...
Perfume of the skies ...
Fingers cold as ice ... freeze ...
Devil in disguise!

Well, she's a, she's a, she's a
You know that she's a hell-cat, hell-cat, hell-cat, hell-cat
(She's gonna scratch up your mind ...)
You know that guy with Piccadilly-eyes
Was talking to the French boy
But didn't realize.
Banana-long-boat-eating
An' he tried to get a wife
But he couldn't stay alive
Well, you know that lad with the rubber-dad
Paints his fingers yellow, blue, and red.
An' you also know that she's a liar
Knowing only her desire ...

[Solo]

Fire in her eyes ... burn ...
Perfume of the skies ...
Fingers cold as ice ... freeze ...
Devil in disguise!
Well, she's a, she's a, she's a
You know that she's a hell-cat, hell-cat, hell-cat, hell-cat
(She's gonna scratch up your mind ...)
You know that guy with Piccadilly-eyes
Was talking to the French boy
But didn't realize.
Banana-long-boat-eating

Paints his fingers yellow, blue, and red.
An' you also know that she's a liar
Knowing only her desire ...


8. POLAR NIGHTS

Down, down ...
That's bringing me down
The stars in the sky
Seem to fall to the ground.
Time, time ...
I'm chasing the time
The stars in the sky
Seem to be turning round.
Is that the wind on your eyes
That is soothing my mind?
Is that the night of your eyes
That is soothing my mind?

Round, round ...
My mind's whirling round
The moons in the sky
Seem to burn on the ground.
Gone, gone ...
My nightmares are gone
The moons in the sky
Seemed to eat up the sun.
Is that the wind in your eyes
That is soothing my mind?
Is that the night on your eyes
That is soothing my mind?
Back from polar nights ...

I was down ...
I was out ...
The nights at the pole've been
So cold without you!
I was down ...
I was out ...
The pole-star was bringing me
Back home to you.
Is that the wind in your eyes
That is soothing my mind?
Is that the night in your eyes
That is soothing my mind?

[Solo]


9. I'VE GOT TO BE FREE

You're burning my heart
you're burning my mind
you're spoiling my art
you're wasting my time

No taste in your actions
no taste in your line
no truth or direction
no true love of mine

You say you wanna be a superstar
don't give a damn how to get that far
you say you wanna ride a diamond car
but I don't like your fat cigar.

Hey, hey, hey don't you wanna see
I'm not your stepping stone
hey, hey, hey I've got to be free
so leave my life alone

You're in love with success
you're spilling my wine
don't follow my tracks, babe
you ways are not mine

Your main god is money
you're wasting my life
I'm not your Bugs Bunny
and you're not my wife

You say you only do it for our best
but you don't wanna see what I detest
you think me crack-brained
that I'm gonna leave your show
but you can't see what I see
so let me go.


10. THE RIOT OF YOUR TIME

The only king of rock has gone gone to heaven
a star on the way to the stars
another king of rock is born, '77
just born to be there, when it starts

[chorus]:

'94,'95, if the world is still alive
will be the start, for the riot of your time
here's a ticket for a burning train
to set the world in flame
to play the hero game
here's a ticket for the future days
you'll be the x•rock king
the new electric face
a new generations mind
the riot of your time

He's got the message to be more,
a new desire
a storm full of life, wild and young
"the x-rock 1994 electric fire"
will burn out the time, like the sun


[chorus]:

'94,'95, if the world is still alive
will be the start, for the riot of your time
here's a ticket for a burning train
to set the world in flame
to play the hero game
here's a ticket for the future days
you'll be the x•rock king
the new electric face
a new generations mind
the riot of your time

[solo]


11. HE'S A WOMAN-SHE'S A MAN

I saw it walking lonely down the street
cool like a cat and like a crazy dream
I'm looking twice again and can't believe
it turned around and then it looked at me
I thought "oh, no" it really couldn't be
it was a man and was a woman too

[Chorus]:

he's a woman
she's a man

I think it really came from far away
I'm feeling hypnotised, I have to stay
it takes my hand and says come on let's go
we're going home there's nothing more to say
he starts to move she starts to play
I need a body, why not you?

[Chorus]:

he's a woman
she's a woman !

[Solo]

[Chorus]:

He's a woman
She' s a woman !!


12. STEAMROCK FEVER

We'd like to introduce tonight
the Kings of a brand new style
they are hungry to play
we'd like to introduce tonight
the new heavy steam rock style
quite different and strange

Allright, how do you feel tonight
Get up to see and cry the name of the
band

steam right with hands and feet tonight
get up to see and cry and they will begin
Here they are!

[Chorus] (x3):


Steamrock fever,
screaming rock believers
Steamrock fever in L.A.

Allright, how do you feel tonight
Get up to see and cry the name of the
band

steam right with hands and feet tonight
get up to see and cry and they will begin
Here they are!

[Chorus] (x4):


Steamrock fever,
screaming rock believers
Steamrock fever in L.A.


Disc Two:

1. IN TRANCE

I wake up in the morning
and the sun begins to shine
the day did sneak up on the night
I see your face and I see myself
and I get a little taste of life
I try to stand it for a while

[Chorus]:

But I'm in a trance
Hey baby tell me can't you hear me calling
I'm in a trance
I take too much in the Saturday night
Hey... Hey
Hey baby tell me can't you hear me calling
I'm in a trance
I wanna try to stop this life

I feel so sad I'm feeling down
On the radio the music plays
I'm in love with her and I feel fine
I close my eyes
I think today is getting better with a sip of wine
and I can stand it for a while

[Chorus]:

But I'm in a trance
Hey baby tell me can't you hear me calling
I'm in a trance
I take too much in the Saturday night
Hey... Hey
Hey baby tell me can't you hear me calling
I'm in a trance
I wanna try to stop this life

[Solo]

[Chorus]

I'm in a trance
Hey baby tell me can't you hear me calling
I'm in a trance
I take too much in the Saturday night
Hey... Hey
Hey baby tell me can't you hear me calling
I'm in a trance
I wanna try to stop this life

[Solo]

I'm in a trance …


2. LIFE'S LIKE A RIVER

As years are passing by
Silence becomes your friend
You see the world in a different way
Don't be afraid of getting old
Life's still full of joy
And the beauty of the past
Is rejoicing your mind.

When days are getting short
And winter comes along
Your Life slows down and down
Life's like a river getting wide
The words have lost their force
You remember your morning
Flow into the endless sea.

Life's like a river in the morning
Life's like a sea without end
Life's like a river in the morning
Life's like a sea without end


3. YELLOW RAVEN

The yellow raven sipped the air
Of thunder and of rain ...
The yellow raven sipped the air
Gentle eyes kissing the rain ...

Where do you go, fantastic dream bird?
Take me away to somewhere
Take me away from here!
Where do you go, fantastic dream bird?
Answer to my yearning
Take me away from here!

The firebird began to cry
When the music died away ...
The firebird began to cry
And smoke was slowly drifting by ...

Where do you go, fantastic dream bird?
Take me away to somewhere
Take me away from here!
Where do you go, fantastic dream bird?
Answer to my yearning
Take me away from here...


4. BORN TO TOUCH YOUR FEELINGS

I was born from the sound oft he strings
for someone to give everything
to be a song just for your feeling
close your eyes and I'll try to get in
to waken your heart like the spring
'cos I was born to touch your feelings

Steal the time, take a song and be glad
be free as the birds, don't be sad
your time will come. I'll make you feel it
you're still young like the sun after rain
follow the light, it's not in vain
and you will see I'll touch your feelings.

You've got your songs, they are everyday
for a while, just the only way
to feel allright...

You were born just to lose or to win
to be someone's child in the wind
to live between your mind and feelings
find your way, check it out, learn each day
follow the light , it's not in vain
and you will see I'll touch your feelings.

You've got your songs, they are everyday
for a while. just the only way
to feel allright ...


5. IN SEARCH OF A PIECE OF MIND(live)

When I'm alone
I'm feeling blue
Dreaming a dream
Of a world that's not free and true

Faintly the dream of a true and
Wonderful world
And no one would care
As long as the world will turn

Solo

When I'm alone
I'm feeling blue
Dreaming a dream
Of a world that's not free and true

Faintly the dream of a true and
Wonderful world
And no one would care
As long as the world will turn


6. FAR AWAY

Take your hand and you take my hand
Let's try to learn to fly
Here what I say, here what I say
Dream and close your eyes

Too much hate
Too much hate
So many things are wrong
So many ways, so many ways
Flying through the sky forever
Into another time

Yesterday so far away
Many miles together
Were looking for a way

Day by day
So far away
All the world
To do the same

So we go together
Will you show me the way
Time has gone
It has gone

Far away, far away

And today
I'll see a way
Follow me we love you
Just listen, what I say

Forget your name and yesterday
Put out your hand
I'll do the same

Now were going to another land
Will you show me the way
Time has gone
It has gone far away
Far away


7. IN YOUR PARK

In the night there is
A gentle voice of silence
So low and quiet
She'll catch me 'cos I've been longing.

I want to walk in your park
Cos I'm alone,
I want to walk in your heart
Where are you? I don't know ...

I look around and see
The sunshine in the morning.
(shadows in the night
Like angels by your side in the alley ...)

On my journey I change the time,
Leave everything behind me.
(shadows in the night
Like angels by your side in the alley ...)

I want to walk in your park
Cos I'm alone,
I want to walk in your heart
Where are you? I don't know ...

Let me walk, let me walk in your heart!


8. CRYING DAYS

Force yourself to use your brain,
The only way to gain,
A lot of things are just a lie.
This world we love comes down in pain
With hate and bloody games
A question-mark up in the sky.

Look, you can't keep away
And you can't hide
Tomorrow, yesterday, today ...

Some people say, we'll do it better
Some people say, everything's good
Some people sing, let's come together
But nobody has ever brought it through
Maybe you and me ...


9. FLY PEOPLE FLY

And I see the tears in your eyes
The rain will fall tonight
And tonight we'll go to the sky
Because and we fly

All together
Fly to the sky
Fly to the rainbow
Fly people fly
Fly people fly

And I see the smile on your face
When you look into space
He's so bright and he is so great
Come on or it's too late

All together
Fly to the sky
Fly to the rainbow
Fly people fly
Fly people fly

See the rainbow in the sun
The man will not go
And the world they have no fun
Hurry up people run

All together
Fly to the sky
Fly to the rainbow
Fly people fly
Fly people fly

All together
Fly to the sky
Fly to the rainbow
Fly people fly
Fly people fly


10. LIVING AND DYING

In the dirty old city
There is my home
There's my home, there's my home
There is my home

Nothing really looks pretty
And I've been alone
I've been alone, I've been alone
I've been alone

And in my heart
Many wishes are crying
Living and dying

And in my heart
Many wishes are crying
Living and dying

In the house of darkness
There's a magic stone
Magic stone, magic stone
The magic stone

But I couldn't find it
'cause the shine is gone
Shine is gone, shine is gone
The shine is gone

And in my heart
Many wishes are crying
Living and dying

And in my heart
Many wishes are crying
Living and dying

Living and dying
Living and dying
