Accept - Breaker Album Lyrics

Starlight

Know the bright lights of Hollywood
Movietowns, a phony world
Seen a few nights of wonder,
Seen a few nights of hell

Walkin' down the foggy streets of London-town
Now I know it well
Ev'ry light in the world is nothing
To the light we know so well

Starlight, shining bright, starlight

Had a bit of life in high society
The slums have seen me, too
And the rich and poor would wonder,
At somethin' old and new

See it ev'ry night goin' slowly 'round
Can't you see it's true
Out there ev'ry man is equal
Way out there in the blue

Starlight, shining bright, starlight

Take it all the way all night long
Twinkle on, you stars
I feel my brain is blinded,
I wonder what you are

Starlight, shining bright, starlight

Starlight...

Breaker

Rollin' just like thunder,
tryin' to get you down
Mistreatin' ev'rythin',
if you were king he'd take your crown
If you were adead man
he'd take ya from your grave
He will not mourn for you or me

Happines he cannot feel
and love to him is so unreal
He burns like hell, he wants you dead,
alltogether hate's all he feel
Movin' like a spider' killin' off a fly
No hands, just fists, no heart, just rocks

Icicle brains
Bicycle chains

Rulin' like a tyrant,
teasin' ev'ryone around
He drags his legs, he plants his feet,
he's botherin' the ground
Here and now this man
you see plans his terror free
He's born to rule, a king to be

Icicle brains
Bicycle chains

He's a breaker
He will take ya
Destroyin' all around you
He's a breaker
He's a taker
He'd kill, maim, destroy to the end

Movin' like a spider,
preyin' on the rest
Rulin' like a tyrant,
tyrannosaurus rex
You could be a dead man,
and you won't know why
No hands, just fists,
no heart, just rocks

Icicle brains
Bicycle chains

He's a breaker
He will take ya
Destroyin' all around you
He's a breaker
He's a taker
He'd kill, maim, destroy to the end

Run If You Can

Run on up, run on down
Be a step ahead in time
Don't you stop to look in his eyes
He wants your soul, he wants your mind

He'll tear you apart
He'll rip you asunder
Stretch your mind, so look out

Hearts must break, hearts must bleed
When you heed the demon's call
Death is near, light is the speed
Flashing out "just kill them all"

Eat out your heart
Dark master of thunder
Lord of darkness and doubt

Run if you can, shake off the devil
Man, don't you pay with your life
Run if you can, deadly and evil
He's hell on earth and he's alive

Ooh, when it is all over
You've surrendered to the night
Out of the day, knowning no way
Deadly is the demon's night

All you know
Is a real world, real men
Love - what they need, it's gone

Run if you can, shake off the devil
Man, don't you pay with your life
Run if you can, deadly and evil
He's hell on earth and he's alive

Hearts must break, hearts must bleed
When you heed the demon's call
Death is near, light is the speed
Flashing out "just kill them all"

Eat out your heart
Dark master of thunder
Lord of darkness and doubt

Run if you can, shake off the devil
Man, don't you pay with your life
Run if you can, deadly and evil
He's hell on earth and he's alive

And he's alive

Run ...

Can't Stand The Night

Fallin' tears, a broken heart
Here I sit as time goes by
'cause all I had has gone forever
Can't stand the night.

The fun we had, I knew so well
that somethin' so deep inside
The last few days have been pure hell
Can't stand the night.

Love - you tore my world apart
But still I can't escape
You touched me and you hold me
The nights are hard to take.

I know her body, her hair, her eyes
I know she should belong to me
But she's a one man's girl forever
Lovin' deeply why not me.

Love why do I take you and why do you take me
Take my breath, or you take my heart
All you give is pain a curse upon your name
Can't you see, it isn't right
Can't stand the night.

Tell me where I have gone wrong
give me a reason why
Tell me how to win her back
Can't stand the night.

Love why do I take you and why do you take me
Take my breath, or you take my heart
All you give is pain a curse upon your name
Can't you see, it isn't right
Can't stand the night.

Fallin' tears, a broken heart
Here I sit as time goes by
'cause all I had has gone forever
Can't stand the night.

Oceans filled with tears
and mountains made of pain
And my eyes are sad each time
The night it comes back again.

Love why do I take you and why do you take me
Take my breath, or you take my heart
All you give is pain a curse upon your name
Can't you see, it isn't right
Can't stand the night.

Son Of A Bitch

You make the stars
Illusions and dreams
You're what you are
D'you know what I mean

I hear you clear
See in your eyes
Lying to please
It pleases to lie

You say it's your way
You say we'll make it right to the top
Your bullshit gets me
What have you got

I don't believe
A word you say
You make me laugh
Get outta my way

You say it's your way
Now listen to what I think of you:

Son of a bitch Kiss my ass
Son of a bitch Son of a bitch You asshole Son of a bitch
Cock suckin' motherfucker I was right - take this

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh

Son of a bitch Kiss my ass
Son of a bitch, ...

Son of a bitch you asshole
Son of a bitch, ...

Cut you three times below the ass to short to shit
Two timing son of a dog

Burning

I hear a rock'n'roll guitar,
screamin' wild on the radio
Well, I know what I like,
know and it's right
Gotta take me through the night

The sound is comin' out,
it's breakin' down the doors
like an earthquake
Explodin' your brains,
Do it again, power is a natural right

I say, hey Rock'n'Roller,
power in your hands
You and your music,
right on rockin' man

You gotta hear it for a while,
it bowls you over, like dreamin'
Oh, hell what a night,
keep a rockin' on night
Hey, boy can't you see the light

I say, hey Rock'n'Roller,
power in your hands
You and your music,
make me rockin' mad

Burning, burning, burning just like fire
Burning, burning, burning just like fire
Burning, burning, burning just like fire
Burning, burning, burning just like fire

I say, hey Rock'n'Roller,
power in your hands
You and your music,
make me rockin' mad

Burning, burning, burning just like fire
Burning, burning, a rock'n'roll desire
Burning, burning, burning just like fire
Burning, burning, a rock'n'roll desire

Burning, burning, burning just like fire
Burning, burning, burning just like fire

I say, hey Rock'n'Roller,
power in your hands
Hey, rock'n'roller,
right on rockin' man

Burning, burning, burning just like fire
Burning, burning, burning just like fire
Burning, burning, burning just like fire
Burning, burning, burning just like fire

Feelings

You gotta be a strong man
And know what you want,
And fight ev'ryone in your way

You're the one who sweats
And what do you get
When someone else picks up your pay

Hey, when you're fightin' a wolf,
it's a fight to the end with a pack

You work all day long,
You're stuck to the phone
Burn up a hundred cigarettes

The yes - men you know
They tell you no go
And dissatisfaction's all you get

Oh, when you're needing a queen
ev'ry card that you get is a jack

Accept what we do
This message to you
Is rock forever and ever
We've still got the feel
The music is real
And we'll rock'n'roll forever, forever

You gotta be strong
We'll rock'n'roll
Forever

No sword and no knife
Can help you survive
Survival is a busines head

A good deal you need
Or you're lost in their greed
You're rotten, helpless, dead

Hey, when you're fightin' a wolf,
it's a fight to the end with a pack

Accept what we do
This message to you
Is rock forever and ever
We've still got the feel
The music is real
And we'll rock'n'roll forever, forever

Accept what we do
This message to you
Is rock forever and ever
We've still got the feel
The music is real
And we'll rock'n'roll forever

Midnight Highway

Out I started, late tonight
Blinded by the light
Strangest feelin' I have know
Don't know what's wrong or right

See the people, clubs and bars
Streetlife passin' by yeah
Screamin' engine, burnin' gas
I'm on overdrive

Danger, danger, save your soul
The finger's writin' on the wall
Where you are the angels are blind

Midnight, and I cruise along the highway
Midnight, and I'm all right on the highway

Midnight sky is bright and clear
New moon on the right
All at once, risin' haze
The freeway is my life

I'm on a high, spacin' out
Where I'm goin' I don't care
Can't you see, this is me
An indestructable boy

Danger, danger, save your soul
The finger's writin' on the wall
Where you are the angels are blind

Midnight, and I cruise along the highway
Midnight, and I'm all right on the highway
I'm all right

Midnight, and I cruise along the highway
Midnight, and I'm all right on the highway
Midnight, and I cruise along the highway
Midnight, on a never ending highway

Breaking Up Again

Wakin' up on monday mornin'
Sunday'd been and gone
Reachin' out for you
But I was alone

Now I sit at the breakfast table
Table's set for two
Been the same thing ev'ry morning
Silly things I do

Ooh, don't know what to do about you
I'll never could give the way you gave
Ooh, now should I try to find you
Keep playin' ev'ry song you played me
Feel like breakin' up again

It's a thing I gotta live with
Take it on my own
I'm waitin' till it's over
Then again I never know

If I'd only seen you goin'
Walkin' out the door
But I had no way of knowin'
Can't take it no more

Ooh, don't know what to do about you
I'll never could give the way you gave
Ooh, now should I try to find you
Keep playin' ev'ry song you played me
Feel like breakin' up again

Down And Out

Hey, here I am, I'm feelin' good
Takin' a ride on a hot summer night
'cause on a long, hot, hot summer night
Just don't know why I know what I am

So let'em keep on runnin'
So let'em keep on chasin' me

Yes, here I am, all heavy legged
Been dancin' on, on a hot summer night
Call me a scrounger, a degenerate bum
Every day hear it over again

So let'em keep on runnin'
But let'em keep on chasin' me

You are down and out
When you're just being your self
We ain't down and out
Man take a look at yourself

See a summernight sky,
I feel like runnin'
I feel like livin' the way I do
That's who I am,
what I'm doin's right, it ain't wrong
I'm livin' this way, if livin' is true

So let'em keep on runnin'
But let'em keep on chasin' me

You are down and out
When you're just being your self
We ain't down and out
Man take a look at yourself

You're always sayin',
I'm sleepin' all day
A day's too long to sleep it away
You gotta think it over, over again
My eyes may be closed
but I'm livin' within

Let'em keep on runnin'
For let'em keep on chasin' me

You are down and out
When you're just being your self
We ain't down and out
Man take a look at yourself

You are down and out
When you're just being your self
We ain't down and out
Man take a look at yourself
