Tnt - Realized Fantasies Album Lyrics

Downhill Racer

The road is straight and narrow
Her heart's in overdrive as she flies away
High away from the ground
Her eyes are black and empty
And the nights are all the same
Has she lost control, sells her soul
For a ticket to the candy store
Caught inside the devil's open door

Highway to the morning sun she rides
White lightning controls her every stride
Highway to the morning sun she rides
All the way to the gates of hell she flies
Another downhill racer

4 AM comes knocking
She'll find a sleazy boy with a wired eye
To keep her high on his cloud
She'll spread her wings for savior and feed her tired heart
But it doesn't last, it goes so fast
And she's running to the candy store
Caught inside the devil's revolving door

Highway to the morning sun she rides
White lightning controls her every stride
Highway to the morning sun she rides
All the way to the gates of hell she slides
Another downhill racer
Downhill racer
Downhill racer

Can she turn around and face the light
will she ever make it home tonight

Highway to the morning sun she rides
White lightning controls her every stride
Highway to the morning sun she rides
All the way to the gates of hell she slides
Another downhill racer
Downhill racer
Downhill racer
Downhill racer
Downhill racer

Hard To Say Goodbye

When I find you, you'll be waiting
Outside the door of a cheap hotel
There'll be nothing to come between us
It'll be our time and we'll use it well

Tongue-tied I'm a twisted man
Got a lot on my mind, try and understand
Show me what your love can do
Let your fingers do the talking
Let them work for you
Head back baby, close your eyes
When your legs start shaking I'll be on the rise
So hold tight 'cause we're moving fast
Keep the rhythm steady till the final blast

When the night is over
Don't you know it's hard to say goodbye
Cause my world is getting colder
And it's hard to live a lie
Hard to say goodbye

When you're hungry, I will feed you
I'll fill you up till you hit the floor
When you're lazy I will revive you
Drive you straight to heaven then I'm out the door

Tongue-tied I'm a twisted man
Got a lot on my mind, try and understand
Hold tight, I'll be back for you
Didn't wanna fall in love but I'll try something new

When the night is over
Don't you know it's hard to say goodbye
Cause my world is getting colder
And it's hard to live a lie
Hard to say goodbye
When the night is over
Don't you know it's hard to say goodbye
Cause my world is getting colder
And it's hard to live a lie
Hard to say goodbye

Love is the Healer
Takes you by the hand
And lets you fly
Whenever you're ready
Baby I'll be your man
And never say goodbye

When the night is over
Don't you know it's hard to say goodbye
Cause my world is getting colder
And it's hard to live a lie
When the night is over
Don't you know it's hard to say goodbye
Cause my world is getting colder
And it's hard to live a lie
Hard to say goodbye

Close your eyes
I'll take you there...

Mother Warned Me

One percent of nothing
Is always one percent
Hard to hold renegade
He calls the wind his friend
Taking care of business
According to demand
But if you have to ask him why
You'll never understand

Full throttle living
And a suicide smile
Push it to the limit
You're doing it in style

Mother warned me about you
And all those horror stories came true
Mother warned me about you
That's what makes it cool
Mother warned me
Yeah, she warned me

Hardcore righteous brother
He's never growing old
You're calling him black-hearted
But he's got a heart of gold
The eagle soars alone you know
When it's time to jam

But if you have to ask him why
You'll never understand

Full throttle living
And a suicide smile
Push it to the limit
You're doing it in style

Mother warned me about you
And all those horror stories came true
Mother warned me about you
That's what makes it cool
Mother warned me
Mother warned me about you
And all those horror stories came true
Mother warned me about you
That's what makes it cool
Mother warned me

Full throttle living
And a suicide smile
Never gonna give in
You're doing it in style

Mother warned me about you
All those horror stories came true
Mother warned me about you
That's what makes it cool
Mother warned me
Mother warned me about you
And all those horror stories came true
Mother warned me about you
That's what makes it cool
Mother warned me
That's what makes it cool
Yeah, she warned me
Mother warned me
'bout you...

Lionheart

He downs another shot
It's the end of the day
He's never gonna leave
But he doesn't wanna stay here wanting

Drinking to the past
For which he has no use
Smiling for the camera
But he's singing the small-town blues

You know so many women so little time
A lonely man's favorite drunken lie

Why do we have to fall from grace
Holding on to yesterday
When home sweet home is out of place
Lionheart will find his way

Crying for her man
She's waiting by the phone
But he's making one last stop
Cause he hates to drink alone in shadows

Trapped inside a dream
A childhood desire
Says he's off to California
But you know he's a liar

And now there's nothing lost, yeah
There's nothing gained
Morning comes and it's still the same

Why do we have to fall from grace
Holding on to yesterday
When home sweet home is out of place
Lionheart will find his way
Do we have to fall from grace
Holding on to yesterday
When home sweet home is out of place
Lionheart will find his way

And now there's nothing lost, yeah
There's nothing gained
Morning comes and it's still the same

Do we have to fall from grace
Holding on to yesterday
When home sweet home is out of place
Lionheart will find his way
Do we have to fall from grace
Holding on to yesterday
When home sweet home is out of place
Lionheart will find his way

Rain

We could be together here in the darkest hour
Hand in hand two lovers out in the cold
Cause I believe there's still a chance we can make it
Love will always be out fortress of gold

And I can't sleep at night
When you're in pain call my name
No matter where you are, I'll be there

Oh, if the rain must fall
Let it fall on me right through it all
Yeah, I will cover you
Cause it's only the rain that gets through

It's always easy to run away when you're feeling helpless
Stick around to find what you've been looking for
Yeah, you can run forever trying to get it right
When you think you've got it, you'll be wanting more

And I can't sleep at night
When you're in pain call my name
No matter where you are, I'll be there

And I can hear the thunder rolling in
The raging wind could never touch our love now baby

Oh, if the rain must fall
Let it fall on me right through it all
Yeah, when the sky turns black
Give it all away honey don't look back

I wanna tell you
Oh, if the rain must fall
Let it fall on me right through it all
Yeah, I will cover you
Cause it's only the rain that gets through

And I can hear the thunder rolling in
The raging wind could never touch our love now baby
Love now baby, love

Oh, if the rain must fall
Let it fall on me right through it all
Yeah, when the sky turns black
Give it all away honey don't look back

I wanna tell you
Oh, if the rain must fall
Let it fall on me right through it all
Yeah, I will cover you
Cause it's only the rain that gets through

I gotta tell you
Oh, if the rain must fall
Let it fall on me right through it all
Yeah, when the sky turns black
Give it all away honey don't look back

I wanna tell you
Oh, if the rain must fall
Let it fall on me right through it all
Yeah, I will cover you
Cause it's only the rain that gets through

Purple Mountain's Majesty

Purple mountain's majesty
Yellow sky and blackened sea
Will God shed His grace for you and me

Colors clashing one by one
A bigot's work is never done
So this is the land of the free

An eye for an eye, we'll all be blind
If you got a gun, you're doing fine

Let the people sing, bells of freedom ring
Let the people shout, till there can be no doubt
Let the people sing, bells of freedom ring
Hear the voices roar, we won't take this anymore

Purple mountain's majesty
Hungry eyes on broken streets
And ice cracks the sidewalk cabaret

Moral psychos run the show
Tunnel vision starts to grow
And blood spills like water on the stage

Gotta do what we can to right this wrong
For tomorrow's child we must be strong

Let the people sing, bells of freedom ring
Let the people shout, till there can be no doubt
Let the people sing, bells of freedom ring
Hear the voices roar, we won't take this anymore
Purple mountain's majesty

Let the people sing,
Let the people shout
Let the people sing
Hear the voices roar
Let the people sing, bells of freedom ring
Let the people shout
Purple mountain's majesty
Let the people sing, bells of freedom ring
Let the people shout, till there can be no doubt
Let the people sing, bells of freedom ring
Hear the voices roar, we won't take this anymore

Rock'n'Roll Away

Running blind, tonight I'm gonna crash in a nameless town
Your lovelight shines so guide me through a ride on this merry-go-round
No disguise could shatter my smile, cover my intentions
It's in your eyes, I know you didn't come under false pretensions

I've been around the world and there is no destination
Sweet mama take my hand and we'll dance right through temptation

Well I might forget you
But I still respect you
When I rock 'n' roll away
Don't believe in sorrow
So don't cry tomorrow
When I rock 'n' roll away

Gypsy girl you're playing shy but your smile is showing
It's a one way ride one more song'll take us where we're going

I don't know when this will end, yeah I lost my reservation
Chasing my tail again, it's a no-win situation

Well I might forget you
But I still respect you
When I rock 'n' roll away
Don't believe in sorrow
So don't cry tomorrow
When I rock 'n' roll away
Well I might forget you
But I still respect you
When I rock 'n' roll away
Don't believe in sorrow
So don't cry tomorrow
When I rock 'n' roll away

I've been around the world and there is no destination
So darling take my hand, it's a no-win situation

Well I might forget you
But I still respect you
When I rock 'n' roll away
Don't believe in sorrow
So don't cry tomorrow
When I rock 'n' roll away
Well I might forget you
But I still respect you
When I rock 'n' roll away
Don't believe in sorrow
So don't cry tomorrow
When I rock 'n' roll away

Easy Street

Well I'm dancing through my fantasy
Seemed like everything was right
Yeah I wrapped your love around me
Put my head down in your hands
But I never saw the lights

Well, I stood beside insanity
She looked at me and smiled
She said "boy when I was young I had dreams a lot like you
And I held on for a while"

A faded picture, black and white
A silhouetted memory gone by
The meter's running, you can't save time
Easy Street has no parking signs
Easy Street has no parking signs

Faster than a laser beam
She came to me, a song in my dreams
Better keep my motor running so I'll never miss a beat
Down on easy Street

So I'm cruising through this fairy tale
Or was it just the wine
Still I know I'm just a kiss away
There's nothing more to say
Cause she's heard all the lines - twice

A faded picture, black and white
A silhouetted memory gone by
The meter's running, you can't save time
Easy Street has no parking signs
Easy Street has no parking signs

I'd fly across the stars for you
Do it all for you babe
I'm still here after all that we've been through
I've lost the dice, I've paid my dues
Do it all for your love
For one last time you know I'd bleed again for you

A faded picture, black and white
A silhouetted memory gone by
The meter's running, you can't save time
Easy Street has no parking signs
A faded picture, black and white
A silhouetted memory gone by
The meter's running, you can't save time
Easy Street has no parking signs
Easy Street has no parking signs

All You Need

You got no protection, you got no control
It's like a good injection baby
That won't let your body go, oh no
Lie down sugar, take your own sweet time
Take it slow little girl, make it rock, make it rhyme
Keep on revving, let your motor burn hot
I can feel it grinding baby
Like a top, top never gonna stop
Come downtown, let the pasion play
Keep on sexing me till your dying day

All you need is love, love is what you need
All you need is love every single day
All you need is love, love is what you need
All you need is love, yeah loving every single day

Take me to the mountains
Lay me in the sea
Let me taste your fountain baby
Gonna make my night complete
C'mon let your wicked soul unwind
Shake it loose little girl, keep your body right on time
Keep on revving, let your motor run hot
Push it to the floor, yeah we're never gonna stop

All you need is love, love is what you need
All you need is love every single day
All you need is love, love is what you need
All you need is love, yeah loving every single day

Keep on revving, let your motor run hot
I feel you grinding baby, feels like we're never gonna stop

All you need is love, love is what you need
All you need is love every single day
All you need is love, love is what you need
All you need is love, loving every single day

Indian Summer

Take me there, warm winds blow through the air
And love is all that we know
Harmony, some kind of fantasy that I can never let go

And I don't know where I am going
Or understand it all
So help me keep my river flowing
When the water falls

And I'll keep on searching
For my Indian Summer

Firewind, breathe on my heart again
Before the winter takes hold
Always strange how seasons, people change
We try, we live, we grow old

And there's a beauty that surrounds you
An aura like the sun
So let me wrap my arms around you
Until our dream is done

And I'll keep on searching
For my Indian Summer
And I'll keep on searching
For my Indian Summer

Bombs fly through liquid skies of gray
The eagle landed, she's empty-handed
Why can't we learn from our mistakes
And love each other
We might discover
Indian Summer

And I'll keep on searching
In a world going under
For a sign of magic
For my Indian Summer
