Love Leads To Madness
Do I feel alright?
I'll go anywhere you say you wanna to take me
Save me, run away, steal away
'Cause I feel alright
I'll do anything you say you wanna make me
Take me, far away, run away
We've been up all night
Trying to avoid a situation
Hold me, let me feel your way
'Cause I wanna stay
Let them all start talking
We won't give ourselves away
Our love leads to madness
Do you feel alright?
And can you see me when you're looking in your mirror
Crazy, try to find a way, so your heart don't pay
Run away
Don't you give yourself away
Our love leads to madness
Boys In The Band
Hey you, who are you talking to
Hey boy, haven't you heard the news
No one can fight more than these boys
No one can bite more than these boys
Hey hose, who do you want to know
Hey punk, get off my case and go
No one can fix more than these boys
No one can kick more than these boys
The boys in the band
You can back down
Yours is no disgrace
No slack clown
It's time to close your face
Hey now, what have you got that's new
Come on boy, what are you trying to prove
No one can take more than these boys
'Cause no one can shake more than these boys
The boys in the band
You can break down
Yours is no disgrace
No slack clown
It's time that you knew your place
Come on back down
'Cause yours is no disgrace
No slack clown
It's time to close your face
You Love Another
Don't wanna live she said
No more to give she said
I can't forgive she said
You love another
Can't live alone she said
Left off the phone she said
Can't face the storm she said
You love another
Don't make me cry she said
Just let me die she said
Kiss me goodbye she said
You love another
Don't take the blame she said
And I can go insane she said
Never the same she said
You love another
My heart is tearing
You love another
No longer caring
You love another
My heart is tearing
You love another
No longer caring
Gatecrash
Well, me and my buddies are going to a party tonight
And we don't care if we ain't got no invite
We don't care if our face don't fit
Gonna grab a little whiskey, grab a little...
Gatecrash, gatecrash
Get yourself ready for a real bash
Hide your ladies,'cause we'll be talking trash
Snort your cocaine, smoke your grass
So get yourself ready for our gatecrash
You don't really want to know but we're still going to appear
We've got Elvis snarls and arrive in biker gear
We don't care if you call the fuzz
By the time they get there we'll be gone with a buzz
Gatecrash, gatecrash
Get yourself ready for a real bash
Hide your ladies, we're gonna cause a smash
Snort your cocaine, smoke your grass
So get yourself ready for our gatecrash
Gatecrash, gatecrash
Get yourself ready for a real bash
Hide your ladies, we're gonna move in fast
Snort your cocaine, smoke your grass
So get yourself ready for our gatecrash
Well, me and my buddies are going to your party tonight
We don't care if we got no invite
We don't care if we cause a splash
Gonna drink a lot of whiskey, grab a little...
Gatecrash, gatecrash
Get yourself ready for a real bash
Hide your ladies,'cause we'll be talking trash
Snort your cocaine, smoke your grass
So get yourself ready for our gatecrash
Games
Look at you
You're the son of the neighbourhood strays
You can walk in your prison for days
But you'll never get anywhere
It's a pain
But the shine on the edge of your blade
Couldn't give all the waiting away
You were recognised everywhere
Turn away
You are not just ashamed of yourself
You're a part of the scenery, damned to hell
Can't you see
We are not going to play at your games
We are not going to ask you for names
Or for some of your history
Did you know
That your father said it's all wrong
Just to keep it going along
It's a part of our mystery
It's our job, you see
You'll agree
There is no point in letting you go
We can wait till the end of the show
Till the audience fades away
Turn around
You can laugh at the mess in your room
It's a nightmare that never can end for you
Can't you see
We are not going to play at your games
We are not going to ask you for names
Or for some of your history
Did you know
That your father said it's all wrong
Just to keep it going along
It's a part of our mystery
It's our job you see
You'll agree
There is no point in letting you go
We can wait till the end of the show
Till the audience fades away
Turn around
You can laugh at the mess in your room
It's a nightmare that never can end for you
Can't you see
We are not going to play at your games
We are not going to ask you for names
Or for some of your history
Did you know
That your father said it's all wrong
Just to keep it going along
It's a part of our mystery
Back To The Trenches
Presidents and peace spreading poets
Getting gunned down in the streets
Shown to us on our prime time screens
For our tea time treat
Lunatics we voted for denying
Everything that they swore
We sit around and shout about it
But we don't do nothing more
Drafted for police action
But they decided on a war
Telling us we were saving mankind
Why don't you ask Cambodia
We were solving it with marijuana
We were sure that we could
Always leaving it to someone else
Just knocking on wood
We're going back to the trenches
Well you say you got a say so
But you're knowing that it ain't so
And you turn away
You think it's safer to ignore it
But the score is your children have to pay
Everybody wants better
Everybody talking about it
Are we wasting time
Gotta stop only looking, talking
We're all guilty of the crime
We're going back to the trenches
We gotta move, we got everything to lose
We're all headed for the frontline
But everybody's fighting for a good address
It's time we made the changes
Or we'll be burning with the rest
We just ain't communicating and I don't
Mean conversations on the telephone
When Nero starts to fiddle this time
There's a lot more gonna burn than Rome
We're going back to the trenches
Dream On
Dream on
Though it's hard to tell
Though you're fooling yourself
Dream on
You can hide away
There is nothing to say, so dream on
Dream on
Though it's hard to tell
Though you're fooling yourself
Dream on
You can laugh at me because I'm crying
You can tell your friends how much
I begged you to stay
You can live your fantasy without me
But you'll never know how much I needed you
Dream on
It's so easy for you
Though I'm broken in two
Dream on, dream on
You can never see
What you're doing to me, so dream on
You can cross your heart and still be lying
You can count the reasons why you've thrown it away
You can dream your life away without me
But you'll never know how much I needed you
You can laugh at me because I'm crying
You can tell your friends how much
I begged you to stay
You can live your fantasy without me
But you'll never know how much I needed you
Dream on
It's so easy for you
Though I'm broken in two
Dream on, dream on
You can never see
What you're doing to me, so dream on
Dream on
Though it's hard to tell
Though you're fooling yourself
Dream on, dream on
Lonely In The Night
I'm running tired of this deception
I have no wish to play this game
Too many times a bad connection
And you're still holding me away
We're living under false pretenses
Fooling ourselves, believe the lies
I could not take one more rejection
You wanted more but would not try
Something's gone wrong with us
Something ain't right
Why are we lonely in the night
Why are we lonely in the night
We're trapped within our own defenses
The walls we made all look the same
There is no love without affection
We've come to far to break the chain
Something's gone wrong with us
Something ain't right
Why are we lonely in the night
Why are we lonely in the night
I'm growing tired of this deception
We fall apart and wonder why
Our hearts now pull in new directions
We don't know how to say goodbye
Something's gone wrong with us
Something ain't right
Why are we lonely in the night
Why are we lonely in the night
Something's gone wrong with us
Something ain't right
Why are we lonely in the night
Why are we lonely in the night
Preservation
I'm preserving myself with make-up
Looking in the mirror
I'm preserving my life, I can take it
Shining in the spotlight
Preservation, looking in the mirror
Preservation, but they don't know that I'm scraping it all off
Every night
I'm reserving my rights, reputation
Living in a movie, it's keeping me looking right
When the secret is out to the public
Seeing is believing, they still wanna be me at night
When the parts get shorter, the parties get harder
But that's alright
Preservation, looking in the mirror
Preservation, but they don't know that I'm scraping it off
Every night
They're lining up to make their entrance
When the word's out I'm in town, they're not nice girls
But that's alright
They're looking so much better when the lights go down
But nice girls is just a frame of mind
Preservation, looking in the mirror
Preservation, but they don't know that I'm scraping it off
Every night
Take The Rap
You were looking at your mother
So you went and told your father
Daddy don't say nothing he's got plenty in his past
Changed your way of thinking
So you started drinking
And you got arrested for driving blind
Take the rap, so take the rap
It's gonna break your back, it's a fact, take the rap
It was lined up on the mirror
And you just started shaving
Didn't know what you were smoking
Cigarette came from a friend
Judge said you're delinquent
You don't want to think it
So you put your head down
Started serving time
Take the rap, take the rap
It's gonna break your back, it's a fact, take the rap
Tried to talk but I got nothing to prove - why you want to?
Tried to run they took away my shoes - why you want to?
Why you want me - to take the rap?
Take the rap, so take the rap
It's gonna break your back, it's a fact
Well your damned if iron bars will
Keep you rotting in a prison
Hell is looking better 'cause you'll
Never get to heaven
See your chance and take it
Sure you're gonna make it
You're prepared to take it 'cause you're never gonna
Take the rap, take the rap
It's gonna break your back, it's a fact, take the rap
Mexico
One more promise soaked in rye whiskey
One more word that bites the dust on some bar room floor
I'm the man who travels 'round doing
Hey, we don't talk about that
I'll get the favour done for you
No one will ever know
Then I'll run to Mexico
Cold as stone my eyes fall on another
Just another name that's running through my mind
At your request I'll do whatever you require
You give me the light, I supply the fire
Then I'll burn for Mexico
Pretty segnorita, she lies to me
Smiles sweetly in the morning when I wake up cold sweating
'Cause some day I'll be in the sights
One more call when someone finds a target
Only guarded whispers never mentioned names
Money on the line will be just fine
You'll never be involved
And even if a clue shows you'll never know
'Cause I'll be in Mexico
