Lyrics


1. MIDNIGHT / TORNADO

The night approaches, after dark you have no chance
Ooh, when moonlight takes the sky, you'll feel my dark romance

I'm on your footsteps and I wait behind your back
I spread like fire upon the streets I'm ready to attack

I'm the only thing you need
Upon your love I feed

When the clock strikes midnite
I'm on the prowl of love
When the clock strikes midnite
The time is right to call you out

When I'm feeling wicked and my blood is running hot
Electric is my touch baby you don't know what you've got

Only in the evening at night I come alive
So try to keep your passion deep I need it to survive

I'm the only thing you need
Upon your love I feed

When the clock strikes midnite
I'm on the prowl of love
When the clock strikes midnite
The time is right to call you out

When the clock strikes midnite
When the wicked moon starts to rise
When the clock strikes midnite
I'm alive

When the clock strikes midnite
I'm on the prowl of love
When the clock strikes midnite
The time is right to call you out

When the clock strikes midnite
When the wicked moon starts to rise
When the clock strikes midnite
I'm alive


2. FOREVER

Remember when we were young
Just two kids on the run
With a fist full of dreams
Drinking wild Playing cool
Stay out late Caught in school
While cigarettes lie and chase In the backseat of my Chevrolet

Where the radio would play like rain
And all the world would fade away

Together we stand
Well it's just you and me
So Baby hold on and you'll see
Forever we stand
And we'll make it through
'Cause I know I can't live without you
No, no, no, no

They said we're growing up too fast
What we had would never last
So we left without goodbyes
And then sometimes we got tough
Roads a head look kind of rough
And all we had was you and I
We'd pray to God on those cool dark nights
And then we knew that it would be alright
We'd go through hell! just to hold each other tight

Together we stand
Well it's just you and me
So baby hold on and you'll see
Forever we stand
And we'll make it through
'Cause I know I can't live without you

As long as the world keeps turning
For as long as it's another day
Together forever
We'll stand In the backseat of my Chevrolet
Where the radio would play like rain
And all the world fade away

Together we stand
Well it's just you and me
So baby hold on and you'll see
Forever we stand
And we'll make it through
'Cause I know I can't live without you
Forever, forever, forever we stand Forever, forever, forever we stand


3. 18 AND LIFE

Ricky was a young boy, He had a heart of stone.
Lived 9 to 5 and worked his fingers to the bone.
Just barely got out of school, came from the edge of town.
Fought like a switchblade so no one could take him down.
He had no money, oooh no good at home.
He walked the streets a soldier and he fought the world alone
And now it's

[Chorus]
18 and life You got it
18 and life you know
Your crime is time and it's
18 and life to go
[repeat above]

Tequila in his heartbeat, His veins burned gasoline.
It kept his motor running but it never kept him clean.
They say he loved adventure, "Ricky's the wild one."
He married trouble and had a courtship with a gun.
Bang Bang Shoot 'em up, The party never ends.
You can't think of dying when the bottle's your best friend
And now it's

[Chorus]

"Accidents will happen" they all heard Ricky say
He fired his six-shot to the wind - that child blew a child away.

[Chorus]


4. YOUTH GONE WILD

Since I was born they couldn't hold me down
Another misfit kid, another burned-out town

Never played by the rules I never really cared
My nasty reputation takes me everywhere

I look and see it's not only me
So many others have stood where I stand
We are the young so raise your hands

They call us problem child
We spend our lives on trial
We walk an endless mile
We are the youth gone wild
We stand and we won't fall
We're the one and one for all
The writing's on the wall
We are the youth gone wild

Boss screamin' in my ear about who I'm supposed to be
Getcha a 3-piece Wall Street smile and son you'll look just like me

I said "Hey man, there's something that you oughta know.
I tell ya Park Avenue leads to Skid Row."

I look and see it's not only me
We're standin' tall ain't never a doubt
We are the young, so shout it out

They call us problem child
We spend our lives on trial
We walk an endless mile
We are the youth gone wild
We stand and we won't fall
We're the one and one for all
The writing's on the wall
We are the youth gone wild

They call us problem child
We spend our lives on trial
We walk an endless mile
We are the youth gone wild
We stand and we won't fall
We're the one and one for all
The writing's on the wall
We are the youth gone wild
We are the youth gone wild


5. RATTLESNAKE SHAKE

Tricky little Vicky walks along South Street
She learned her French from the boys that she'd meet
I gotta laugh when I hear them say
She's a sweet little cheese when the cat's away

I know what you been trying
What you got ain't worth buying
Can't make living working door to door

Shake, shake, shake it like a rattlesnake
Boom, boom baby out go the lights
Shake, shake, shake it like a rattlesnake
Staying up late doing the rattlesnake shake

Juicy Miss Lucy always diggin' on junk
She's on the corner talkin' trash with the punks
Her buried treasure is so easy to see
'Cause talk is cheap and so is she

You're lost in search of passion
(But) Prince Charming ain't in fashion
So let it bleed if you wanna stay

Shake, shake, shake it like a rattlesnake
Boom, boom baby out go the lights
Shake, shake, shake it like a rattlesnake
Staying up late doing the rattlesnake shake

Shake, shake, shake it like a rattlesnake
Boom, boom baby out go the lights
Shake, shake, shake it like a rattlesnake
Staying up late doing the rattlesnake shake

Shake, shake, shake it like a rattlesnake
Boom, boom baby out go the lights
Shake, shake, shake it like a rattlesnake
Staying up late doing the rattlesnake shake


6. RESCUE YOU

(No lyrics available)


7. WALK WITH A STRANGER

Like Sunday School
You live the golden rule
Always daddy's little girl
Say your prayers at night
You know what's wrong
And right locked inside your perfect world
Cross the tracks and come with me
To the dark side of town

Walk, walk with a stranger
See how good this bad boy can be
Walk, walk with a stranger
Come and walk with me

All your friends will say
That you should stay
Away from a punk out on the streets
So let the fire burn
Because it's time you learn
That here the champions will cheat ...oh yeah
When you slip inside of yourself
Is there room for me

Walk, walk with a stranger
See how good this bad boy can be
Walk, walk with a stranger
Come and walk with me

Well mamma's wishin' well's too deep
But you've been hangin from her rosary beads
Breakin' hearts
'Cause you're breakin'
Free and breakin' hearts is reality

Walk, walk with a stranger
See how good this bad boy can be
Walk, walk with a stranger
Come and walk with me...
