1. WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT LOVE

You walk tall, you act proud
Leave the little girls cryin' out loud
You got it all, it's not enough
When it comes to love, babe you're outta luck
Yeah, I know I'm a fool
Tryin' to find a way to get next to you

I wanna tie myself to your bed of fire
But you'll only cut me loose once you had enough

Tell me, what do you know about love?
Spreadin' yourself all over town
What do you know about love?
There's a lot more to it than lyin' down

Your mind's tickin', your heart stop
Your eyes are ice cold, your lips are red hot
Little lies that you do
Whispered like an Angel straight from Hell
Live wire, short fuse
Walkin' detonator in snakeskin boots

You're a bad mistake but I can't wait to make you
I'm gonna shake you from your sleepwalk in the dark

Hey, what do you know about love?
With your dirty mind and your heart of stone
What do you know about love?
You got a lot of friends but you're all alone
How can you run from the truth?
Spreadin' yourself all over town
What do you know about love?
There's a lot more to it than lyin' down

The day will come, you take a long hard look in the mirror
And your pretty face starts to look a little rough

What do you know about love?
What do you know about love?
How can you run from the truth?
Baby, baby, run away, yeah

What do you know about love?
With your dirty mind and your heart of stone
What do you know about love?
You got a lot of friends but you're all alone
How can you run from the truth?
Spreadin' yourself all over town
What do you know about love?
There's a lot more to it than lyin' down

What do you know about love?
What do you know about love?
What do you know about love?


2. KISS ME DEADLY

I went to a party last Saturday night
I didn't get laid, I got in a fight,
Uh, huh
It ain't no big thing
Late for my job and the traffic was bad
Had to borrow ten bucks from my old man,
Uh, huh
It ain't no big thing
I went to a party last Saturday night
I told you that story, I'd be alright
Uh, huh
It ain't no big thing

But I know what I like
I know I like dancin' with you
And I know what you like
I know you like dancin' with me
Yeah, yeah

Kiss me once
Kiss me twice
C'mon pretty baby, kiss me deadly

Had a few beers, gettin' high
Sittin', watchin' the time go by,
Uh, huh
It ain't no big thing
Nothin' to eat and no TV
Lookin' in the mirror don't get it for me
Uh, huh
It ain't no big thing

But I know what I like
I know I like dancin' with you
And I know what you like
I know you like dancin' with me
Oh, yeah

Kiss me once
Kiss me twice
C'mon pretty baby, kiss me deadly

Kiss me once
Kiss me twice
C'mon pretty baby, kiss me deadly

You know I like dancin' with you
Dancin' with you
C'mon

Kiss me once
Kiss me twice
C'mon pretty baby, kiss me deadly

Kiss me once
Kiss me twice
C'mon pretty baby, kiss me
C'mon pretty baby, kiss me
C'mon pretty baby, kiss me deadly


3. SHOT OF POISON

Gotta love for destruction
Gotta feel for danger tonight
Hey, Mr. Moonlight wontcha follow me down
I need the company
Everybody tells me you're no good
That's all right with me

Gimme one shot of poison
A little twist is all I need
One drop of your sweet poison
Sets me free
Come on baby, poison me

Gotta hunger for fatal attraction
I'm savin' all my passion for you
I gotta heartbreak habit that I can't kick
Only you can ease the pain
I'm a midnight animal tryin' to score
Before I go insane

Gimme me one shot of poison
A little twist is all I need
One drop of your sweet poison
Sets me free
One shot of poison
A little taste of paradise
One drop of your sweet poison
Satisfies
Give me one last kiss before I die

I'm flyin' high
On your love, tonight, baby

One shot of poison
A little twist is all I need
One drop of your sweet poison
Sets me free
One shot of poison
A little taste of paradise
One drop of your sweet poison
Satisfies

One shot of poison
Cme on, baby, poison me
One drop of your sweet poison
Sets me free
One shot


4. HUNGRY

My nylons are melting down my legs
Your heart is pounding at my throat
I can't catch my breath
I lost it when your fingertips
Ran down my back and up my neck
Your kiss makes me feel like this

I'm so hungry for your sex
I'm so hungry for your sex
I got an appetite for love tonight
I wanna taste your sweet thing
I wanna feel the sting of your sex, of your sex

My body all painted lipstick red
We ripped the sheets right off the bed
My fingernails left fiery trails
Across your back, oh, tell me baby
How'd you like that little pussycat scratch

I'm so hungry for your sex
I'm so hungry for your sex
I got an appetite for love tonight
I wanna taste your sweet thing
I wanna feel the sting of your sex, of your sex

I'm so hungry for your sex

I'm so hungry for your sex
I'm so hungry for your sex
I got an appetite for love tonight
I wanna taste your sweet thing
I wanna feel the sting of your sex, of your sex

I'm so hungry for your...


5. GOTTA LET GO

You feel the power, you feel it getting strong
We'll make it carry everyone along
You bought a ticket to our surprise attack
You came to rock and there's no turning back

Don't you want to be the main attraction

Well, you gotta let go if you really want to rock tonight

You can't control it when it gets this hot

We're talkin' rock you'll never understand
It doesn't matter if the world's exploding
It doesn't matter where the night is going
If you wanna set the night on fire

But, you gotta let go
Yeah, you gotta let go
Well, you gotta let go if you really want to rock tonight

All you need's a little chain reaction
You and I can set the night on fire...

Yeah, you gotta let go
Uw, you gotta let go
Well, you gotta let go if you really want to rock tonight

6. CLOSE MY EYES FOREVER

Baby
I get so scared inside, and I don't really understand
Is it love that's on my mind, or is it fantasy?
Heaven
Is in the palm of my hand, and it's waiting here for you
What am I supposed to do with a childhood tragedy?

If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain unchanged?
If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain the same?

Sometimes
It's hard to hold on
So hard to hold on to my dreams
It isn't always what it seems
When you're face to face with me

You're like a dagger
And stick me in the heart
And taste the blood from my blade
And when we sleep, would you shelter me
In your warm and darkened grave?

If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain unchanged?
If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain the same?

Will you ever take me?
No, I just can't take the pain
But would you ever trust me?
No, I'll never feel the same, Oh

I know I've been so hard on you
I know I've told you lies
If I could have just one more wish
I'd wipe the cobwebs from my eyes

If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain unchanged?
If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain the same?

Close your eyes
Close your eyes
You gotta close your eyes for me


7. LARGER THAN LIFE

Hey, can you turn it up a little louder, please

Marlon Brando on a motorbike
In the black leather heat of a Saturday night
He said, "Whaddaya got?"
Ya got nothin'

Dollar in my pocket burnin' like Rome
There ain't no place that I call home
All alone in the big bad city

Hang around this town, man you're better off dead
I'm flyin' like a rebel flag, goin' outta my head

Yeah, we're gonna rocket tonight
We're gonna tear it up twice
Shake it up, break it up, tear it down, larger than life

I love the city when the sun goes down
It's a madhouse, baby, a real 'toon town
Whaddaya want
Ya wanna rocket
I take a picture, paint it black and white
And the neon burnin' like a new tattoo
Ready or not, here we come, uh, huh

Hang around this town, man you're better off dead
Flyin' like a rebel flag, goin' outta my head

Yeah, we're gonna rocket tonight
We're gonna tear it up twice
Shake it up, break it up, tear it down, larger than life
Yeah, we're gonna rock it tonight
We're gonna jam it uptight
Jack it up, rip it off, tear it down, larger than life

We're gonna rocket tonight
We're gonna tear it up twice
Shake it up, break it up, tear it down, larger than life

Yeah, we're gonna rocket tonight
We're gonna tear it up twice
Jack it up, rip it off, tear it down, larger than life

We're gonna rocket tonight
We're gonna rocket tonight, night, night, night
Tear it down

Larger than life
Larger
Than life


8. ONLY WOMEN BLEED (ALICE COOPER COVER)

Man's got his woman
To take his seed
He got the power
She got the need

She spends her life through
Pleasin' up a man
She feeds his dinner on
Anything she can

She cries alone at night too often
He smokes and drinks and don't come home at all

Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed

Man makes your hair grey
He's your life's mistake
All you're really looking for
Is an even break

He lies right at you
You know you hate this game
Slaps you once in a while
And you live and love in pain

She cries alone at night too often
He smokes and drinks and don't come home at all

Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed

Man's got his woman
To take his seed
He got the power
She got the need

She spends her life through
Pleasin' up a man
She feeds his dinner on
Anything she can

She cries alone at night too often
He smokes and drinks and don't come home at all

Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed

Black eyes all of the time
Don't spend a dime, clean up this grime
And you there, down on your knees
Beggin' me please, come watch me bleed

Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed


9. PLAYIN'WITH FIRE

I could see a strange fire burning up in you
The first time I looked in your eyes
I could feel sparks fly dangerous and true
Straight through this heart of mine

Now, I ain't afraid to take the things I want
I don't believe the world is gonna change for me
So I'll take the love I need

We were riding high
Like flames against the sky
Innocent and wild, we were playin' with fire
Too hot to touch, you can't call it love
But it's close enough to be playin' with fire
We're playin' with fire

I could see a dark side scratchin' at your soul
The risk is sweet as the sin
I feel your lips as they swallow me whole
Strike like a match on my skin

And I'm tired of wasting all my precious time
I love the way I feel when you're in my mind
It ain't no crime

We were riding high
Like flames against the sky
Innocent and wild, we were playin' with fire
Too hot to touch, you can't call it love
But it's close enough to be playin' with fire
We're playin' with fire

In the long nights
We were burnin'
Caught in a wild fire
Out of control

We were riding high
Like flames against the sky
Innocent and wild, we were playin' with fire
Too hot to touch, you can't call it love
But it's close enough to be playin' with fire
We're playin' with fire

We were riding high
Like flames against the sky
Innocent and wild, we were playin' with fire
Too hot to touch, you can't call it love
But it's close enough to be playin' with fire
We're playin' with fire


10. BACK TO THE CAVE

Oh, let's get back to the cave
No one ever told us we had time to waste
Oh, let's get back to the cave
For a little while, for a little while

Life on the outside, life on the edge
Pushin' all the buttons of love
Drivin' in the wedge
Somebody's takin' from you time and time and time again
Can't believe it's not the way you want it to be

Oh, let's get back to the cave
No one ever told us we had time to waste
Oh, let's get back to the cave
For a little while, for a little while

Somebody lookin' for you
Somewhere you've seen a face
Somehow it leaves you feelin' lost and out of place
Too many wasted nights
And way too many darker days
There's nothin' left to make you burn
And nothin' left to make you wanna stay

I'm lookin' deep inside you, down where you were before
And when I find you, I'll be wild and knockin' down your door
I'll drag you screamin' from this endless and angry scene
You can believe it's just the way you want it to be

Oh, let's get back to the cave
No one ever told us we had time to waste
Oh, let's get back to the cave
For a little while, oh, yeah, for a little while

Oh, let's get back to the cave
For a little while, oh, yeah
Oh, let's get back to the cave
For a little while


11. LISA

Lisa, you are the shelter for my soul
Lisa, you heal my heart when I lose control
As I let my fingers trace
Each time worn line on your face
I know only love creates a masterpiece like you
I know it's true

Lisa, Lisa, say you're going to live forever
Lisa, Lisa, we're never gonna say goodbye
Only you know who I am
Only you really understand
Nothing's going to take you away

Lisa, I know we live in different worlds
Lisa, I will always be your little girl
And on a stormy night
You built a rainbow to my door
I'll always remember you

Lisa, Lisa, say you're going to live forever
Lisa, Lisa, we're never gonna say goodbye
Only you know who I am
Only you really understand
Nothing's going to take you away
