Lyrics

1. AT THE CRACK OF DAWN

Crimson delight awaits
Incense perfumes embrace
And the darkness is a sign it won't be long
Chaos relleased as the drum starts to drone

Bless me with your enchanting melodies
Enlighten me with your blasphemous verities
And I unleash myself
As I drink from your well
At the crack of dawn
At the crack of dawn

Crimson delight for the braves
Summon the devil at the altar of bones and stakes
To sacrifice

Bless me with your enchanting melodies
Enlighten me with your blasphemous verities
And I unleash myself
As I drink from your well
At the crack of dawn

Bless me with your enchanting melodies
Enlighten me with your blasphemous verities
And I unleash myself
As I drink from your well
At the crack of dawn
At the crack of dawn


2. ROLLER-COASTER RIDE

Nobody told me live is that fast
Nobody warned me, easy comes to pass
I was a young boy and I had a dream
I was hungry but took more than I could eat

High as a kite, no feet on the ground
Turbulence flight stars abound
Roller-coaster ride and I'm hanging upside down
And here I go again for another round

Got to kill my darlings, got to start from scratch
Betray my beloved ones with a stab in the back
I'm losing track of where I am
I'm losing grip for what I stand

High as a kite, no feet on the ground
Turbulence flight stars abound
Roller-coaster ride and I'm hanging upside down
And here I go again for another round

When I fall, got to take it like a man
If I wanna fly, I better learn to land

When I fall, got to take it like a man
If I wanna fly, I better learn to land

High as a kite, no feet on the ground
Turbulence flight stars abound
Roller-coaster ride and I'm hanging upside down
And here I go again for another round


3. GIRL IN HEAT

She's hot, so hot
You can't believe your eyes, damn hot
Girls who whould have thought

A little make-up and a push-up bra
High heels to make her legs look tall
She's transforming as the minutes pass
In front of the mirror she's checking her curves
Doubting about her too short skirt
She blows a kiss to the women in the looking glass

And she's hot, so hot
You can't believe your eyes, damn hot
A metamorphose, too hot
Girl, who would have thought

A girl in heat
So untamed and wild
A girl in heat, ready to cook tonight
A girl in heat
She's untamed and wild
A girl in heat, spicing it up all right

She checks her stockings one more time
Pouts her lips and opens her eyes
She feels damn hot, she cannot believe
She catches a whiff of her fresh parfume
Adds some more an saturates the room
Ten past nine, Yeah she's ready to leave

And she's hot, so hot
You can't believe your eyes, damn hot
A metamorphose, too hot
Girl, who would have thought

And she's hot, so hot
You can't believe your eyes, damn hot
A metamorphose, too hot
Girl, who would have thought

A girl in heat
So untamed and wild
A girl in heat, ready to cook tonight
A girl in heat
She's untamed and wild
A girl in heat, spicing it up all right


4. CATCH 22

The grass is greener on the other side
If I could lie, I just might
Don't get me wrong, I love you still
But lately I missed the thrill

My hunger caged by love
Is it strong enough

Together through thick and thin
There ain't no fight whe cannot win
I wish I could relieve the urge inside
Vut I'd hurt you when I cross that line

Desires tamed by love
Is it strong enough

I'm in a catch, catch-22
I'm in a catch, catch-22
No matter what I choose
I am bound to loose
Catch-22

Inner feelings have called a truce
Can't have my cake and eat it too
No best of both worlds but a double bind
It leaves a restless man unsatisfied

My cravings confined by love
Is it strong enough

I'm in a catch, catch-22
I'm in a catch, catch-22
No matter what I choose
I am bound to loose

I'm in a catch, catch-22
I'm in a catch, catch-22
I'm in a catch, catch-22


5. IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT

We ride the roads of freedom
Where time and place are lost
Meandwhile good thoughts are passing by
You are on my mind

Chasing dreams at nighttime
Miles away from home
Where I can't be for a day, or more

Out of the clouds the arrow came aimed for the heart
To shoot straight through, yeah

All I need is what we have
It's an endless love afair
All I got is what you need
Get your body
Close to mine
In the dead of night

Out in the open, I feel
Wind through my hair again
Truth is, we want to have it all
At the same time

Freed from daily business
We're off to stray the foreign lands
It is the love that we can't get
We want most

It must have been lady luck by my side
Who brought me you

All I need is what we have
It's an endless love afair
All I got is what you need
Get your body
Close to mine
In the dead of night

Passing the mountains
Over the seas
I am riding the roads of freedom
On my way
On my way back to you

Can somebody tell me
What the hell we're fighting for
What's left when war is won
But love is lost

All I need is what we have
It's an endless love afair
All I got is what you need
Get your body
Close to mine
In the dead of night


6. LOST IN DISCOTHEQUES

Song by song, I'm getting close to you
But you don't see
I am shuffling in oe oh oh, I am shuffling in oe oh oh,
Dancing araound, but I'm a clumsy kind of fool
Yes I'm lost,
Lost in discotheques oe oh oh, lost in discotheques oe oh oh

Out of my comfort zone
Heading on my own
Right into the lion's den
Just to spend the night with you

Tonight's the night, I won't settle for less
Now be a man,
Living on the edge oe oh oh, living on the edge oe oh oh
When opportunity knocks I got to make a move
Or I am lost,
Lost in discotheques oe oh oh, lost in discotheques oe oh oh

Out of my comfort zone
Heading on my own
Right into the lion's den
Just to spend the night with you

Sirens call and the writing's on the wall
Now I'm lost,
Lost in discotheqeues oe oh oh, lost in discotheqeues oe oh oh

Out of my comfort zone
Heading on my own
Right into the lion's den
Just to spend the night
Oh, just to spend the night
Just to spend the night with you


7. WALKING ON TIGHTROPE

Walk on
In a line

You want to shake my believes
Try to mess with my head
And expect me to hessitate

No you can't stop me now
No I won't kneel and bow
Oh I need to keep it straight

But I see a man
Torn in two, by his darker self

I am walking, walking on tightrope
And I'm heading for the other side
Walking, Walking on tightrope
Towards a better life

All your temptations, hard to resist
Friends and foe insist
But I have had my fill

No you can't hold me back
Yeah i'll defend my flag
Oh, you won't drain my will

Step by step, across the void
Break the chain, break the spell
Halfway there's a man
Torn in two
By his darker self

I am walking, walking on tightrope
And I'm heading for the other side
Walking, Walking on tightrope
Towards a better life

I am walking, walking on tightrope
And I'm heading for the other side
Walking, Walking on tightrope
Towards a better life


8. LIGHT MY DYNAMITE

Grains of sand are crawling in the hourglass
Anxios eager beaveres, from a hungry mass
Dying to go wild, the tension's building up
With a clap of thunder, fireworks erupt

Old school chemistry, light my dynamite
Hard rock remedy, light my dynamite
Put the spark to the tinder, light my dynamite
Night's too short to linger, light my dynamite

Hands if time are moving at the slowest pace
Agitated horses, waiting for the race
Absence makes the heart grow fonder, desire's getting loud
With a flash of lightning, shockwaves hit the crowd

Old school chemistry, light my dynamite
Hard rock remedy, light my dynamite
Put the spark to the tinder, light my dynamite
Night's too short to linger, light my dynamite

Oh oh yeah
Dancing on the celing
Beijing, Berlin, set the night on
Set the night on fire
Heating, heating up in ecstasy
Oh yeah

Old school chemistry, light my dynamite
Hard rock remedy, light my dynamite
Put the spark to the tinder, light my dynamite
Night's too short to linger, light my dynamite


9. ON AND ON

On and on, and I'm movin' on
There ain't no guile, no smile
That makes me wait
On and on, and I'm movin' on
There ain't no city, no beauty
That makes me stay
I won't stay

Exotic spices and freaky food
Sipping from the local brew
Different customs and attitudes
Strange rules getting me confused

From north to south, east to west
I have travelled all
Was it yesterday, or the day before
I'm affraid I can't recall

On and on, and I'm movin' on
There ain't no guile, no smile
That makes me wait
On and on, and I'm movin' on
There ain't no city, no beauty
That makes me stay
I won't stay
I won't stay

Friendly faces showing me around
Rushing past the sights abound
Unfamiliar toast, but we understand
Before the night is done, we are friends

It's run and gun, such a short affair
Once more I will yearn
It was intense and I fell in love
I promise i'll return

On and on, and I'm movin' on
There ain't no guile, no smile
That makes me wait
On and on, and I'm movin' on
There ain't no city, no beauty
That makes me stay
I won't stay
I won't stay
I won't stay
I won't stay


10. SECRET DANCER

I've been a fool for a woman again
Fell in her trap, I'm her favorite sin
Unconditional, is how it began
Won't beat around the bush, it's what I wanna be in

It's temptation on the quiet
Don't knock on the front door
In the shadows, that's where we have
A good bit of criminal love

You're my secret dancer
Can't stop from running to you
My, my secret dancer
Moving on the trail of bandits

Now time is passing, I'm not confident
That things will turn out the way we've planned
Don't want to push, nor to offend
Too afraid that the story ends

I must drop my expections
Don't need a lesson that I had before
I use you, as you used me
Give me some more, criminal love

You're my secret dancer
Can't stop from running to you
My, my secret dancer
Moving on the trail of bandits

Finish what you've started
Walk your talk with me
Can't take no longer
I've been a fool for a woman again

You're my secret dancer
Can't stop from running to you
My, my secret dancer
Moving on the trail of bandits

You're my secret dancer
Can't stop from running to you
My, my secret dancer
Moving on the trail of bandits

Oh oh oh oh oh oh,
Be my secret dancer
Oh yeah


11. SWEET GOODBYE

Time to rest, I won't fly no more
These old wings are bruised and sore
I left the nest to roam the skies
But I settle down for lullabies

Sweet, sweet goodbye
Love has changed it's course
Sweet, sweet goodbye
I won't fly no more

Fooled around and I fell in love
I tried to foil, not enough
Unanswered callings in the night
And I'm running out of alibis

Sweet, sweet goodbye
Love has changed it's course
Sweet, sweet goodbye
I won't fly no more

You hold on tight, you dry my tears
But al whe share is yesterdays

Sweet, sweet goodbye
Love has changed it's course
Sweet, sweet goodbye
I won't fly no more
