1. SOLE SURVIVOR

The night was young in the heat of july
There was magic in the air
He saw fire burn across the sky
But didn't feel no fear
They said: run boy run
There's a million to one you'll make it out of here
Run boy run
It's the prime of your life so you better beware

We're watching every move you make
Follow every step you take

The sole survivor
Don't need no alibi
Sole survivor
Breakin' the ice

They say heaven helps them who help themselves
No-one to catch your fall
And the dream you lost will never disappear
You gonna get it all
They said: run boy run
You'll be the light in the dark and the hero tonight
Run boy run
You got a reason to live and no reason to fight

We're watching every move you make
Follow every step you take

The sole survivor
Don't need no alibi
Sole survivor
Breakin' the ice


2. YOU'RE THE ONE I WANT

She comes on like a hurricane
She's so hot she's driving me insane
In high heels walking down the street
I wanna squeeze her but she's out of reach

Sweet sister got a hold on me
She's everything a woman should be
Sweet sister better look this way
Cause I've got something to say

You're the one I want
You're the one I need
You're the one I want
You're the one I need

I see your face in every magazine
You're quite a knock-out on the silver screen
With one look you captured my heart
I guess you've known it from the very start

When I saw you walking down the street that day
I thought we had it going
But you just walked away from me
And I said hey baby


3. TAKE ME ON YOUR WINGS

When I think of you, do you think of me
I know somethings there, naturally
It's growin' every day and I keep wonderin'
How to make your heart talk to me
From the dark of the night
Til' the mornin' light
A million faces run desperately
Made a few mistakes I know what it
Takes to get back again on my feet
But I'm still there waitin' at the end of
The road givin' and takin' oh, oh

Take me on your wings of passion
Take me on your wings so far away

Have so much unsaid burnin' in my head
Gotta let it out set it free
If it was for real not a fantasy
You'd be lyin' here next to me
But I'm still there waitin' at the end
Of the road givin' and takin' oh, oh

Take me on your wings of passion
Take me on your wings so far away


4. BEST OF ME

Never again isn't that what you said
I still pretend that I will forget
I've been down that lonely road before
We have shared the world behind this door
Never again will it be the same
Never again will you call out my name
Like the wind you swept through my life
Now you're gone and it cuts like a knife

You can say that I'm wrong
I've been blind all along
You can say I never face reality
I will show that I'm strong
Cause I'm still holding on
I can say for sure
You took the best of me

Never again will I love you in vain
Never again will I heal from the pain
I've fought battles in the night
Now I know I've been wastin' all my time

You can say that I'm wrong
I've been blind all along
You can say I never face reality
I will show that I'm strong
Cause I'm still holding on
I can say for sure
You took the best of me


5. DANCIN' ON THE EDGE

I see a stranger when I look in your eyes
Another face in a another time
A taste of danger when two worlds collide
A lonely war in the name of pride
You can't deny you said goodbye
And walked away
Just like the game you always play
With my love

I can't get I can't get over you
I'm dancin' on the edge
I can't get I can't get over you
I'm dancin' on the edge

You run for cover when the goin gets tough
I know you tried but you were not tough enough
I got the hunger you tear me apart
Once eye to eye but never heart to heart
I can't deny I said goodbye
And walked away
I roll the dice of precious time
So don't lie to me

I can't get I can't get over you
I'm dancin' on the edge
I can't get I can't get over you
I'm dancin' on the edge


6. OUTLAW

Cold night I'm movin' undercover
No fright I'm breakin' down the chain
You know I'm hidin' from the hunter
Let go, need shelder in the rain
Ain't gonna lie to you
If it's the last thing I do
You know they say it's true

I'm an outlaw
Runnin' in the night
Outlaw
Need someone to hold me tight

Cool down tears won't make it better
Move on we all live to learn
Look now I'm heading for the border
Hold on till the day I return
Ain't gonna lie to you
If it's the last thing I do
You know they say it's true

I'm an outlaw
Runnin' in the night
Outlaw
Need someone to hold me tight

You know you can try it
But don't you ever deny it
You know you can't run away from the outlaw

I'm an outlaw
Runnin' in the night
Outlaw
Need someone to hold me tight


7. WORLD OF PROMISES

They come from a land where the sun don't shine
Running, away from the cold
They've travelled so far in the name of love
Hoping their dreams will come true
Working their ways thru endless fields
Trying to make it together
They will give anything
Just to be free from the pain
And they won't surrender

Livin' in a world of promises
livin' in a world of dreams and hopes
livin' in a world of promises
up against the ropes

In the dead of the night you can hear them crying
Out for a life to hold on to
Somebody knows where the answers lying
Wait for your chance and don't let go

Livin' in a world of promises
livin' in a world of dreams and hopes
livin' in a world of promises
Up against the ropes


8. ONE WAY TO GLORY

I've been to hell and back again
Never thought that I could win
I was far to young to know
Where to go
I remember father said
You have to fight and keep your head
You gonna find it out someday
Don't waste away

Cause I know it's never
Gonna last forever
So lt's go together
In this race against time

There's only one way to glory
A long way to go
One way to glory
One way to love

Some will follow some will lead
Satisfaction guarantied
You have to show them all
How things are meant to be
I guess that time will only tell
When you'll find your wishing well
Try to find the key
And break the magic spell

I just talk about you and me
That's the way it's gotta be
I ain't lying to anyone
All I wanna be is someone


9. SAVE YOURSELF

Born in a blue town raised on the rye
Working til' sundown livin' a lie
Searching a good time with nowhere in sight
Heartache to heartache still up for a fight
I remember the day when I first heard you say
I've been waiting so long to be loved
To have the world in my hand
Where the feelings command
I'll help you pray yeah!

Save youself
Your heart is burnin'
Save yourself
The wheels are turnin'

Life ain't that easy as it seems
When you get older you'll know what I mean
Some will surrender and the fountain will dry
But you will be stronger ans reach for the sky
I remember the day when I first heard you say
I've been waiting so long to be loved
To have the world in my hand
Where the feelings command
I'll help you pray yeah!

Save youself
Your heart is burnin'
Save yourself
The wheels are turnin'

Life ain't that easy as it seems
When you get older you'll know what I mean
Some will surrender and the fountain will dry
But you will be stronger ans reach for the sky


10. THE WINNER

I've seen trouble comin' my way
She tried to push me to the ground
So I headed for the highway
And now I can't slow down
I don't need a preacher
Don't need a fool
To tell me what to do
I can't stop the feeling
Deep in my soul
Let all systems go

I'm the only winner
You're loosin' the game
I'm the only winner
You're fighting in vain
I'm the only winner
You're loosin' the game
I'm the only winner

I'm a lover not a teaser
I pull the trigger on you
Do anything to please ya
Shoot your heart in two
I don't need a preacher
Don't need a fool
Cos' I've made up my mind
Go by the numbers
Play by the rules
Gonna cross that line
