Lyrics

1. BREAK YOUR CHAINS

Wake up, wake up, it's time to find out
You're on your own
Get up, stand up, U'd better face it
You're all alone

Who will catch U when U fall?
Who will hear U when U call?
Don't U know what U must do?

Break your chains
& I will always B there
Break your chains
We can love, we can share

I will never let U down, I'm
Right B4 your eyes
Don't tell yourself U won't believe it
Make everything alright

I will catch U when U fall
I will hear U when U call
There's only 1 thing U must do

Break your chains
& I will always B there
Break your chains
We can love, we can share

Break your chains
& I will always B there
Break your chains
We can love, we can share

Break your chains
& I will always B there
Break your chains
We can love, we can share


2. STANDIN' ON FIRE

We tried 2 avoid disaster
But it's 2 late this time
But life goes on all but faster
& no change in sight

[Chorus]
On fire
As i reach out 4 u
I'm standin' on fire

The lies & the cold deception
Right in front of our eyes
They gave us the wrong perception
That led 2 goodbye

[Chorus]

Can u hear me callin'
I'm standin' on fire

& now that the tears r gone
Everything is all right
We tried 2 avoid disaster
In our hearts in our minds


3. I'LL BE WAITING

If you need somebody, call out my name
I'll be waiting right by your side tonight

I've heard the words out on the street
Your love is much in danger
Though I can hear the tears of pain
I can see the cries of anger

Oh oh oh oh, if U let me know
We can chase the nite away, yeah

If you need somebody, call out my name
I'll be waiting right by your side
Everything changes, but love will remain
I'm awaiting right by your side tonight

Inside & outside & upside down
This merry-go-round you give in 4
Tell me the reasons why you go back
Back to the same old story

Oh oh oh oh, I can be the 1
Dance & romance until the morning lite

If you need somebody, call out my name
I'll be waiting right by your side
Everything changes, but love will remain
I'm awaiting right by your side tonight

We can chase the nite away

If you need somebody, call out my name
I'll be waiting right by your side
Everything changes, but love will remain
I'm awaiting...

So...

If you need somebody, call out my name
I'll be waiting right by your side
Everything changes, but love will remain
I'm awaiting right by your side tonight,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...


4. DANGEROUS

I never trust a lover, but I believed in you
and it hurts to uncover all your lies
Anger and frustration, you took me by surprise
But I won't let you get away with it

Don't look over your shoulder
Cause I'm only one step behind you!

I am dangerous
I've got murder on my mind
I am dangerous
and I know that I've been blind

How long did you fake it, now that I wanna know
But how can you deny you done me wrong?
Oh, I will break your bones the way you broke my heart
I'll slowly grind them into dust

Don't look over your shoulder
Cause I'm only one step behind you!

I am dangerous
I've got murder on my mind
I am dangerous
and I know that I've been blind

I got a one track mind and I'm comin' after you,
Yea, yea, yea!

Don't look over your shoulder
Cause I'm only one step behind you!

I am dangerous
I've got murder on my mind
I am dangerous
Cause I know that I've been blind

I am dangerous
I've got murder on my mind
I am dangerous
Cause I know, yes I know that I'm comin' after you...

So don't you turn around, no, no!


5. JUST BETWEEN US

U came like a silent breeze
Heaven sent like an angel
I knew i'd tear apart
2 hearts left 2 wander

Can 2 lovers turn strangers
Pretend thru the night that love is alive

Oh, just between us
Lies can wait until the morning light
Oh, just between us
2nite we will be as 1

Fools rain falling down on me
As i walk alone
I'm dreaming of that 1 day
U'll be back again


6. SYSTEM OF POWER

U talk about palestine & i talk about jim hall
I don't know nothin' about your middle eastern war
U talk 'bout lipstick, baby, i talk about safe sex
U still don't know nothin' 'bout how i get my kicks

[Chorus]
But there are ways 2 get thru life
& there are hundreds of answers
U won't get thru by chances
System of power

I don't think 'bout goin' places where i've never been
Inside my soul 2 reach a conscience extreme
U think 'bout how 2 get that heavily revenge
U got some thirst inside, babe, that u need 2 quench

System of control, system of power, system of love

I still believe that a man should have some kind of control
On how she treats her neighbor, fellow or her soul
It takes a long, long time 2 get 2 that insight
Until that that day has come, babe, please don' t try 2 fight it


7. QUEEN

All alone, nowhere to go
Watcha gonna do?
Take a look outside your door
She's there waiting for you!
Ectasy is in her eyes
She's sweeter than honey
With her smile she'll take you down
The price is right, it's only money

She walks the lonely streets
Sells you love for the moment
Oh oh! she's the queen of the night

Says she'll be your hearts desire
All night to devour
Says she'll be your everything
But you'll pay by the hour
Easy money, easy love

Everyone's a loser oh, oh

She's a queen of the night


8. LIGHTING STRIKES

Cold wind blowing outside
But it's cold as steel in my heart
Ohh she's a hot blooded woman
She wants to tear me apart
Chained up like a prisoner
Something tells me i can't resist
Finally she tried too hard
And i couldn't take it anymore

I have taken, full control
Maybe it's just another lie
When lightning strikes, i know!
It will change my ways

Joker with a losing hand
I play the game but i still can't win
Ohh ohh for a long long time
She's got her hands around my heart


9. DAY BY DAY

I ask myself but i can't explain
The way i feel about you
More than anything i've known before
What can i do?

The night goes on, minute by minute
Forever
And everyday i sit around wondering,
Where you are
Day by day
I try to make it thru another day
Cause i can't give up hoping
I'll find you again oh
Night by night
I can't take another sleepless night
If i close my eyes i'm dreaming
It's all in vain
You know i can't get you outta my mind
Say you love me then you say you don't
You keep on changing your mind
I won't rest until i hear you
Say you wanna be mine


10. WOMEN, WHISKY AND SONG

My heart keeps drumming the beat
Of rhythm and blues
Baby let me tell you it's the only music
I can use!

[Chorus]
Women, whiskey, and song
Women, whiskey, and song
Oh that's a whatta i need
But if it wasn't for whiskey
I would never have sold my soul
For rock n roll

You can't show me a woman
I'm gonna refuse
All i need is a love potion
Bottle of booze

[Chorus]

If it wasn't for whisky
If it wasn't for women
I never would have sold my soul
For rock n roll
