1. RUNNIN' WITH THE DEVIL

I live my life like there's no tomorrow
and all I've got, I had to steal
Least I don't need to beg or borrow
Yes I'm livin' at a pace that kills

Runnin' with the devil
Runnin' with the devil
I'm gonna tell ya all about it

I found the simple life ain't so simple
When I jumped out, on that road
I got no love, no love you'd call real
Ain't got nobody, waitin' at home

Runnin' with the devil
(God damn it lady. You know I ain't lyin' to ya)
Runnin' with the devil

You know I, I found the simple life
Weren't so simple, no
When I jumped out, on that road
Got no love, no love you'd call real
Got nobody, waitin' at home

Runnin' with the devil
Runnin' with the devil
Runnin' with the devil

4. AIN'T TALKIN' 'BOUT LOVE

I heard the news baby
All about your disease
Yeah, you may have all you want baby
But I got somethin' you need. Oh, yeah!
Ain't talkin' 'bout love
My love is rotten to the core
Ain't talkin' 'bout love
Just like I told you before. Yeah, before

You know you're semi-good lookin'
And on the streets again
Ooh yeah, you think you're really cookin' baby
You better find yourself a friend, my friend

Ain't talkin' 'bout love
My love is rotten to the core
Ain't gonna talk about love
Just like I told you before! Before!

Ain't talkin' 'bout love
Babe, it's rotten to the core
Ain't talkin' bout love
Just like I told you before. Uh, before

I been to the edge
And there I stood and looked down
You know I lost a lot of friends there baby
I got no time to mess around

Mmm, so if you want it, got to bleed for it baby
Yeah! Got to, got to bleed, baby
Mmm, you got to, got to bleed, baby
Hey! Got to, got to bleed baby

Ain't talkin' 'bout love
My love is rotten to the core
Ain't talkin' 'bout love
Just like I told you before! Before! Before!

Ain't talkin' 'bout love
Don't wanna talk about love
Don't need to talk about love
Ain't gonna talk about love
No more! No more!

Hey, hey, hey!
Hey, hey, hey!
Hey, hey, hey!


5. I'M THE ONE

We came here to entertain you
Leaving here we aggravate you
Don't you know it means the same to me ?
Honey!

6. JAMIE'S CRYIN'

Everybody's lookin' for somethin'
Somethin' to fill in the holes
We think a lot but don't talk much about it
'Til things get out of control
How do I know when it's love
I can't tell you but it lasts forever
How does it feel when it's love
It's just something you feel together
When it's love
You look at every face in a crowd
Some shine and some keep you guessin'
Waiting for someone to come into focus
Teach you your final love lesson
How do I know when it's love
I can't tell you but it lasts forever
How does it feel when it's love
It's just something you feel together
Oh when it's love
You can feel it yeah
Nothing's missing

Nothing's missing
How do I know when it's love,
I can't tell you but it lasts forever
How does it feel when it's love
I can't tell you but it lasts forever
When it's love
When it's love
It'll last forever
When it's love
You and I
We're gonna feel this thing together
When it's love
When it's love
You can feel it
We'll make it last forever
When it's love


7. ATOMIC PUNK

I am a victim of the science age
A child of the storm. Whoa, yes
I can't remember when I was your age
For me! It says no more, no more
Nobody rules these streets at night but me
The Atomic Punk
Oh, yeah. Ah-ah!

I am the ruler of these netherworlds
The underground. Whoa, yes
On every wall and place my fearsome name is hung
Just look around. Whoa, yes

Nobody rules these streets at night but me
The Atomic Punk!

I am the ruler of these netherworlds
The underground. Oh-oh
On every wall and place my fearsome name is hung
Look around. Whoa, yeah!

Nobody rules these streets at night but me, nobody. Ahhhhhh!
The Atomic Punk!


8. FEEL YOUR LOVE TONIGHT

All right!
We're gettin' funny in the back of my car
I'm sorry honey if I took it just a little too far, yes
Ah too, too far
So I, I told the fellas out behind the bar
Told them to tell you honey just how fine you are, yes
Uh yes, you are

You see I'm beggin' you please
(Beggin' you baby, beggin' on my bended knees) On my knees

Sayin' "I can't wait to feel your love tonight." Wooh!

See you drivin' up and down my road
I tell you honey you're the prettiest girl I know, yes
Uh, that's for sure
But uh, better use it up before it gets old, no
I tell you honey now you've let your life grow cold, no
Uh no, no, no

I'm a-beggin' a-you
(Beggin' you baby, beggin' on my bended knees) I'm on my knees

I can't wait to feel your love tonight
(I can't wait to feel your love tonight)
I can't wait to feel your love tonight
(I can't wait, I can't wait) Woo!

Well, I been workin' since a ten of nine
I tell you sugar by midnight I'll be fine. Flyin' high
Woo! We'll hit the town, we'll have a hell of a time
I'll tell you honey by morning you'll be mine, yes. All mine

You know I'm beggin' you baby
(Beggin' you baby, beggin' on my bended knees) I'm on my knees

I can't wait to feel your love tonight
(I can't wait to feel your love tonight)
I can't wait, to feel your lovin' tonight, ah yeah!
(I can't wait, I can't wait)


9. LITTLE DREAMER

They may talk about you cold when you were
Headed for the skies
But you were young and bold, and baby
Didn't that change with a wink-a your eye

Now no one's talking 'bout those crazy days gone by
No one talks about the times you cried

Little dreamer
Little dreamer

And then they went and they voted you
Least likely to succeed
I had to tell them baby you were armed with all you'd need

Seems no one's talking 'bout those crazy days gone past
Weren't they amazed when you were really last ?

You are the little dreamer
You were, the little dreamer.

Yeah, they talk about you cold when you were
Headed for the skies
But you were young and bold, and baby
Didn't that change with a wink o' your eye

Seems no one's talkin' 'bout the crazy days gone past
Weren't they amazed when you were really last ?


10. ICE CREAM MAN

Dedicate one to the ladies...
Now summertime's here babe, need somethin' to keep you cool
Ah, now summertime's here babe, need somethin' to keep you cool

Tell ya what it is
I'm your ice cream man, stop me when I'm passin' by
Oh my, my, I'm your ice cream man, stop me when I'm passin' by
See now all my flavors are guaranteed to satisfy
Hold on a second baby

All flavors and pushups too

I'm your ice cream man baby, stop me when I'm passin' by
See now all my flavors are guaranteed to satisfy Hold on, one more

Well I'm usually passin' by just about eleven o'clock
Uh huh, I never stop

And if you let cool you one time, you'll be my regular stop

All right boys!

I'm your ice cream man, stop me when I'm passin' by
They say all my flavors are guaranteed to satisfy


11. ON FIRE

Turn your radios on
I'll appear right there! Yes I will
Turn me up real loud
