The King Of Rock And Roll

He's the king of rock and roll yeah all right yeah
Right hot night summer in the city just about to smoke and burn
Look out he's evil but he's pretty and oh he's gonna twist and turn
He's got the midnight madness he's got control he's the king of rock and roll
Bad blood everybody knows it but everybody doesn't care no
He's got the only way to show it they want to see it everywhere
He's got to give you fever he'll scratch your soul

Sacred Heart

Hey the old ones speak of winter the young ones praise the sun and time just slips away
Oh running into nowhere turning like a wheel and a year becomes a day
Whenever we dream that's when we fly so here is a dream for just you and I
We'll fin the sacred heart somewhere bleeding in the night yeah
Look for the light and find the sacred heart
Oh here we see the wizard staring through the glass and he's pointing right at you
Now you can see tomorrow the answer and the lie and the things you've got to do yeah
Oh sometimes you never fall and ah you're the lucky one
But oh sometimes you want it all you've got to reach for the sun
And find the sacred heart somewhere bleeding in the night oh look to the light
Well you fight to kill the dragon and bargain with the beast and sail into a sight
You run along the rainbow and never leave the ground and still you don't know why
Whenever you dream you're holding the key it opens the door to let you be free yeah
And find the sacred heart somewhere bleeding in the night yeah
Run for the light and you'll find the sacred heart
A shout comes from the wizard the sky begins to crack and he's looking right at you quick
Run along the rainbow before it turns to black attack
And oh sometimes you never fall and ah you're the lucky one
Oh sometimes you need it all you've got to reach for the sun
And find the sacred heart yeah bleeding in the night yeah yeah
We'll find the sacred heart

Another Lie

She's a rumor in the night it's crazy you can see her but she isn't there
She's the stealer of the light it's crazy but you go anywhere
It was just a summer night maybe when a shiver cut across the air
Should you run and get away maybe to go where where where
She crouches the hunter ready to tell you another lie another lie
You could see the side of someday feel the power of the young and strong
You were learning how to fly someway you were wrong wrong wrong
She jumped at the moment a chance to tell you another lie another lie another lie
It was just a summer night maybe when a shiver cut across the air
Should you run and get away maybe to go where where where
She jumps at the moment she crouches the hunter yeah
You look and you know she's telling you another lie another lie another lie
Why it's crazy when you feel you're getting stronger another lie
Why it's crazy all the lies are getting longer another lie
Who oh yeah another lie another lie

Rock'n'Roll Children

It was starting to rain on the night that they first decided
It was blinding with snow on the night that they ran away
They were found in the dark but they never returned just like somebody slammed the door bang yeah
She was meant to be wild he was nearly a child but they only could feel each other
They were paper and fire angel and liar the devil of one another
Then they were thrown to the ground with a terrible sound just like somebody broke a heart
Rock'n'roll children alone again rock'n'roll children without a friend but they got rock'n'roll
It was starting to rain on the night that they cried forever
Oh it was blinding with snow on the night that they screamed goodbye
They were lost in the dark and they never returned just like somebody slammed the door
Ah rock'n'roll children alone again rock'n'roll children without a friend
Poor rock'n'roll children caught up in the spinning wheel poor rock'n'roll children alone again
It was starting to rain on the night that they ran it was blinding with snow on the night we let them go
Poor rock'n'roll children oh oh children rock'n'roll children children of the night
Poor rock'n'roll children poor children lost poor souls rock'n'roll children oh ho oh ho oh ho
Rock'n'roll children rock and roll

Hungry For Heaven

You're a dancer but you're dancing on air just a matter of time till you fall
You're a dreamer one night at the fair but still you want it all
You're in danger the last of a line but the vision lasts forever
So just hold on you can make it happen for you reach for the stars and you will fly
You 're hungry for heaven hungry for heaven hungry for heaven
But you need a little hell oh oh oh ooh oh
You're a runner but you're chasing yourself feel the hot breath on your shoulder
You're emotion running cold running warm the young just getting older

Like The Beat Of A Heart

Tonight we run we can hide in the dark when the moon steals the light from the dying sun
Oh run it's a better thing than we have ever done
There's a beast that lives inside you and it's screaming to get out
Like the beat of a heart like the beat of a heart
Don't look behind 'cause a tear that never dies can only make you blind
You've got to try 'cause the future's never never gonna die
There's a beast that lives inside you and it's screaming to get out
It's a storm that's never ending it's a truth without a doubt yeah eh
Tonight we run we can hide in the dark 'till the moon steals the light from the sun
There's a beast that lives inside you and it's screaming let me out
It's a storm that's never ending it's a truth without a doubt
Now love can be a whisper but pain will always shout to you
Like the beat of a heart like the beat of a heart
Like the beat of a heart like the beat of a heart whoa beat your heart

Just Another Day

You never sing for pleasure you only make the sounds
You never feel the magic 'cause you think the world is round
And you never dance in moonlight you run but you never move
You don't believe in someday and the truth is what you prove
But it's alright well it's all right just another day
Too many chains around you you laugh but you never smile
You don't belong in heaven but you're here all the while
And it's alright well it's all right just another day another day another day
Another day to let you down another way that they have found
Yes another day another way another way another day
You never sing for pleasure you only make the sounds
You never feel the magic 'cause you think the world is spinning round for you
But it's alright yes it's all right well it's alright just another day

Fallen Angels

Screaming out alone in the night just a time and place but it's real all right
We are diamonds that shine without fire we're climbing the stairs
Going down and never higher we're fallen angels
Something came to me in a dream the crack of a gun and a bloody scream
The I could see the faces and why I was holding the gun and the world began to die
For fallen angels falling down fallen angels come gather round yey
It's a criminal world and we all get to play you're a criminal
Sins of the children never get washed away
We're fallen angels goin' down oh we are fallen angels gather round
Screaming out alone in the night just a time and place but it's real all right
We are diamonds that shine without fire we are climbing the stairs
Going down and never higher we're fallen angels fallen angels fallen angels
If something comes to you in a dream open your eyes and scream it out
Remember that the evil will rule it's waiting outside bringin' pain for you fallen angels

And all the doorways are starting to close in front of you
