They told him not to wander
They told him not to stray
Listen to the warnings
Never lose the light of day
There's danger in the darkness
And death's not what they say
Thunderclouds are rolling in
Trouble's on the way
But you can feel excitement in your
veins
No holding back till you stake you claim
Surprise, disguise, better run now
you realize
The kiss, abyss, knowing that you can't resist
The thrill, the kill, and you know that it's over
With a look in her eyes
An ocean of temptation
With every drop of wine
Shadows meeting face to face
The tentacles entwine
One look from the jezebel
Phony valentine
Now you see the wanderer
Frozen in the corridors of time
But you can feel excitement in your
veins
No holding back till you stake you claim
(Chorus)
With a look in her eyes
SISTER OF PAIN
(Neil, Blades, Shaw)
There's a little old place down south
of Le Grange
Where the whiskey flows and the nights go on for days
My home on the range
There's a sultry queen set her sights on me
Was the best damn thing that I ever seen oh ya
She's Evangeline
That preacher's daughter, she took
off her leather dress
She pulled me into sin and now I must confess
She's a
Sister, sister of pain
She's a knock down, drag it out, lick it up do it again
Such a sweet young thing took a bite
out of me
She spread her cards out for all the world to see oh ya
I went willingly
She walked me back to a darkened room
Said this one's on me boy,
I want to see you howl at the moon and I'm talkin' soon
That night I saw the light I'd never
seen before
When I thought my time was up she said how 'bout a, a little more
For the
Sister, sister of pain
She's a knock down, drag it out, lick it up do it again
(Chorus)
A sister, sister of pain
Drop down, spread 'em out, open up it's only a game
Suck your soul, make a blind man see
With a touch of her hand, brings a devil out of me
She held up a sign said have no fear
We got liquor up front, and poker in the rear
For the
Sister, sister of pain
She's a knock down, drag it out, lick it up do it again
(Chorus)
Yeah
Sister, sister of pain
She's a knock down, drag it out, lick it up do it again
Yeah
CAN'T HAVE YOUR CAKE
(Neil, Stevens)
When I was a young boy my mama would
say
Son, you ain't always gonna get your way
Times will be good, times will be bad
You ain't always gonna get a winning hand
Son, she always said, you gotta stand tall
Even when it looks like you'll take a fall
Life is short and sometimes sweet
Get out of the kitchen if you can't take the heat
Everything she said was true
My mama never was a fool
Gotta live your life by the golden rule
I guess it's true what they say
Really true what they say
I guess what mama said was true
Can't have your cake and eat it too, babe
I never doubted any word my Mutha said
With all the sinnin' runnin' 'round my head
Everything she said was true
My mama never was a fool
Gotta live your life by the golden rule
(Chorus)
FINE, FINE WINE
(Neil, Soussan)
Baby's long and tall, man she's got
it all, she's alright
Alright
Hips have got a sway shakin' it my way, it's alright
Alright
Full-bodied curves, with her legs she
serves, oh yeah
Oh yeah
Lips that say it all, turn and hear her call, oh yeah
Oh yeah
Ain't no cheap and nasty liquor dripping
down her vine
Taste of golden honey, sweet as candy money
Bottle it and make her mine
Give me a taste of your fine, fine
wine
Ruby sticky, sweet as summertime
Let me taste your fine, fine wine
One more drink gets me feeling alright
We're here for the show, let your passion
flow, it's O.K.
O.K.
We ain't gonna stop, so throw away the top, it's
O.K.
O.K.
Ain't no cheap and nasty liquor dripping
down her vine
Taste of golden honey, sweet as candy money
Bottle it and make her mine
(Chorus)
THE EDGE
(Neil, Stevens, Soussan)
The edge of the moment, the glory of
the kill
Thirsting for excitement and hunger for the thrill
Screams around the corners
Sound like demons in the wind
Their voices pushing me to where I've never been
A look at the cards and they just see
the red
I say it's all in the head
Fear's a skin that you have to shed
If not you're better off dead
Time's on the edge
Means I'm on the edge of time...
Maybe no tomorrow I live my life today
Luck is my religion to the lady I will pray
I fear to see the black in every tinsel town
They an try and take my pride
But they can never take my crown
(Chorus)
Time's on the edge
Life's full of time
Life's in my head
Means I'm on the edge of time...
CAN'T CHANGE ME
(Blades, Shaw)
I see the headlights on the highway
I'm standing in the rain
Gonna hitch a ride to nowhere
Shake off Mary Jane
Ashes to ashes
Leave it in the dust
Don't worry about missin' me
You do what you must whoa
Change no you can't change me
Into something I could never be
Sure nuff plain to see
That you can't, you can't change me
Are we losing our connection
Are you somewhere on the line
Yeah I'm hearing your suggestion
But it's too late, too late here tonight
So many reasons
Everybody's out of time
I'll take my chances baby
Ooh ooh and take what's mine
(Chorus)
You know you're something to see
But you can't no you can't change me
You're somewhere in tomorrow
I'm stuck here in today
Got more trouble than a man can borrow
When you're livin' it up livin' in outer space
(Chorus)
Change you can't change me
Yeah I bet you're something to see
But you can't no you can't change me
SET ME FREE
(Scott)
Gagged, balled and chained
Feels just the same
Hands on the wall
Maybe you're just playin' games
Set me free
Mauled by a hound
Hangin' around
Is this for real
I don't know when I'll be found
Set me free
Ah, ah, ah set me free
Ah, ah, ah set me free from you
Taken by force
By you of course
Far from my bed
I know I'd rather be dead
Set me free
(Chorus)
Fire in my brain
Burn me insane
Makin' your mark
Don't leave me here in the dark
Set me free
Call me a saint
That's what I ain't
Inside my head
Maybe I'd feel better dead
Set me free
(Chorus)
LIVING IS A LUXURY
(Neil, Stevens)
They're cooking up a storm
In Hell's Kitchen tonight
And the main course could be you
Or try your hand at an Eastside stand
Dashin', slashes, in a crazy human zoo
The girls shine like diamonds
In the cold steel of the night
With cash in hand you'd better understand
If you want it you can get it any day
or night
So if you turn around
And tell me to go to hell
I'd say I know that place to well
Where living is a luxury
There's a bad moon rising in the underground
Living is a luxury
Another drive-by nightmare
In this lonely town
When your blood runs cold
And your soul's on ice
Gotta run from the shadows
Of the night
The secrets told with the back alley show
It's a cold sweat, loose bet
Skin tight
Sloe gin is a fast-pace sin
In this hell below your feet
A blue sky day seems so
Far away, with another chalk
Mark on this crazy street
So if you turn around
And tell me to go to hell
I'd say I know that place to well
(Chorus)
So if you turn around
And tell me to go to hell
I'd say I know that place to well
And if you close your eyes to see
You better take a look at me
Ya
(Chorus)
YOU'RE INVITED (BUT YOUR FRIEND CAN'T COME)
(Neil, Blades, Shaw)
Little woman got that look in her eyes
Want to cut me down to size
Show me watcha gonna do...it's true
Who's that gorilla standin' by your side
Oh no that must be your ride
You wouldn't be with such a fool
Or your mama too
There's something over here I want
you to see
There's a party but it isn't for three
Get something straight between you and me...because
Oh, no you're invited but your friend
can't come
Oh, no come on baby we're gonna have some fun
Wow
Heartbreaker yeah you came for the
show
But little did you know you'd end up in the spotlight
Well all right
Come on baby won't you show me what you've got
Ready or not...one, two, here we go
Oh no
Nobody's watchin' it's time to decide
Shake the monkey, mama don't be shy
Come on honey time to take a little ride because
(Chorus)
Oh, no you're invited but your friend
can't come
Oh, no you're invited but your friend can't come
Rock the night like a hurricane
Make me sweat like the drivin' rain
Pour it on till I can't get no reaction
It's gonna be your night tonight
I'm gonna make you feel all right
Scream and shout, I need it now!
Now! Now! Now! Now!!!!!!
I'm making plans for the rest of the
night
So tell your guard dog he better not bite
My dogs are bigger and they're ready to fight
Come on...come on...come on...give it up tonight!
(Chorus)
Oh, no you're invited but your friend can't come
Oh, no come on baby we're gonna have some fun
We're gonna have some fun, we're gonna
have some fun
Have some fun, baby...oh...she can't come...
Lick it
GETTIN' HARD
(Neil, Stevens, Soussan)
Found me golden angel
Gonna do me for a song
Love me till tomorrow
Who knows if she'll be gone
For once I tried to keep her
I guess that I was wrong
She just wants some money
To line her silver tongue
And when the animal that lives inside
you calls
When you cannot feed the hunger
Then the hammer falls
Gettin' hard
Hard to live with
Something's gotta give
Try to make a living
Overworked and underpaid
Slaving so one day
I can get away
Man looks at me for answers
Poor boy take the blame
Seein' it through the boss man's eyes
We all must look the same
And when the animal that lives inside
you calls
When you cannot feed the hunger
Then the hammer falls
(Chorus)
FOREVER
(Neil, Stevens, Soussan)
Thinking back, those long summer days
Young and not afraid
Did what we wanted to
Broke some hearts, didn't think I'd ever start
To get tired of the part
That's when I pictured you
Met a face, already knew so well
It was easy to tell
That you knew me too
Spent our time, laughing all the while
I made you lose your smile
Now I'm losing you
Is it too late
'Cause just like before
I'll be knocking at your door
Can't take the pain away from you
And there's nothing I can do
Until you let me through
Without you there's nothing left for me
Oh baby can't you see
Together we will be, forever
Time's have changed, some are good
and some are bad
The future that we have
Can't be all a dream
Nights that we would find, when we nearly lost our minds
Now could we ever be so blind
'Cause we were meant to be
Is it too late
'Cause just like before
I'll be knocking at your door
(Chorus)
