Тексты:
Desert Song
Dark and dirty like you have never seen A mind so twisted with thoughts so unclean My heart is racing all tattered and torn I stand here naked as the day I was born Only the lonely will stand I'm holding the world in my hand I got to believe The sky is falling on this setting sun Echoes of silence ringing loud and long This isolation is the king of pain A lost horizon in an ocean of flames Only the lonely will stand I'm holding the world in my hand I got to believe I've been here before But not as I stand here today I wait for the dawn Ready to walk into the light
Fractured Love
I'm caught in a dream Sometimes it ain't what it seems I'm all in a daze Can't find my way out of this maze I'm looking for clues And wanting a change in the rules I'm locked in a cage Acting out on the wrong stage Don't want your sympathy, no no no Don't need the third degree, no no no Just got to break away and scream I'm caught in a dream I'm stood at the edge and I'm looking down Caught in the danger zone I feel like a king that has lost his crown And now I stand here alone Don't want your sympathy, no Don't need the third degree, no Just got to break away and scream I'm caught in a dream Fractured love, fractured love Iron fist in a velvet glove Fractured Love, fractured love Cracks in the mirror of this fractured love I don't care if you pull down the sky Angry passion is a friend of mine Reach out for the sky above It's just a fractured love Fractured love, fractured love Iron fist in a velvet glove Fractured Love, fractured love Cracks in the mirror of this fractured love I'm caught in a dream Why don't you set me free Don't want your sympathy Don't want the third degree Just gotta break Break away and scream Caught in a dream Why don't you set me free Fractured love, fractured love Iron fist in a velvet glove Fractured Love, fractured love Cracks in the mirror of this fractured love Fractured love, fractured love Fractured love, fractured love Iron fist in a velvet glove Fractured love, fractured love Fractured love, fractured love Don't give me your fractured love
Action
(Connolly - Priest - Scott - Tucker)
So you think you'll take another piece of me To satisfy your intellectual need Do you want, do you want action Gonna bring you down cause you're pushin' me You gotta recognize my superiority Liar, liar You know you believed it Liar, liar Cause I'm the main man And that's why Everybody wants a piece of the action Everybody needs a main attraction I got what everybody needs Satisfaction guaranteed And everybody wants a piece of the action Oh, I was suicidal cause she was my idol Baby baby baby bring it to your knees Now there was a time I would have walked the line Don't you drag me down with your insatiable greed Liar, liar You know you believed it Liar, liar Cause I'm the main man And that's why Everybody wants a piece of the action Everybody needs a main attraction I got what everybody needs Satisfaction guaranteed Everybody wants a piece of the action Do you want Action, action Everybody wants, everybody needs Everybody wants, everybody needs Everybody wants a piece of the action Everybody needs a main attraction I got what everybody needs Satisfaction guaranteed Everybody wants a piece of the action Action, action, action...
Two Steps Behind [acoustic version]
Walk away if you want to It's ok, if you need to Well, you can run, but you can never hide From the shadow that's creeping up beside you And, there's a magic running through your soul But you can't have it all Whatever you do I'll be two steps behind you Wherever you go and I'll be there to remind you That it only takes a minute of your precious time To turn around and I'll be two steps behind Take the time to think about it Walk the line, you know you just can't fight it Take a look around and see what you can find Like the fire that's burning up inside me And there's a magic running through your soul But you can't have it all Whatever you do I'll be two steps behind you Wherever you go and I'll be there to remind you That it only takes a minute of your precious time To turn around and I'll be two steps behind And there's a magic running through your soul But you, you can't have it all Whatever you do I'll be two steps behind you Wherever you go and I'll be there to remind you That it only takes a minute of your precious time To turn around and I'll be two steps behind Yeah baby, two steps behind Oh sugar, two steps behind
She's Too Tough
Black stockings and a high-heeled dress Good looking but her face is a mess She's no angel, oh no Love loaded she's got plenty to spare She'll pull your trigger if only you dare She's no angel, oh no She's too tough Can't help it, she just can't help it She's too tough Can't help it, she just can't help it Hands off, well it's Catch-22 You can't touch if she can't have you She's no angel, oh no Whiplash, give you six of the best Lay back let her mind do the rest She's no angel, oh no She's too tough Can't help it, she just can't help it She's too tough Can't help it, she just can't help it She's too tough Can't help it, she just can't help it She's too tough Can't help it, she just can't help it She's too tough Can't help it, she just can't help it She's too tough Can't help it, she just can't help it She's too tough Can't help it, she just can't help it She's too tough
Miss You in a Heartbeat
