Scorpions : Sting in the Tail
Lyrics
1. RAISED ON ROCK
I was born in a hurricane
Nothing to lose and everything to gain
Ran before I walked
Reaching for the top
Out of control just like a runaway train
I never walked on the narrow path
I always wanted what I didn't have
All was not enough
Riding lady luck
Driving in the fast lane and just stepped on the gas
Cause I was raised on rock
My dad was howling but my heart was a rolling stone
Yeah I was raised on rock
My mama said I had a devil to scratch my soul
And I was raised on rock
Shoot me up baby make me high
And hit the jackpot in the heat of the night
Wanna kiss your lips
Wanna move your hips
See my desire in your laser-beam eyes
You shake me up got me spinning 'round
You know what's going up must come down
Tomorrow I'll be gone
A million miles from home
The only road I know leads out of town
Cause I was raised on rock
My dad was howling but my heart was a rolling stone
Yeah I was raised on rock
My mama said I had a devil to scratch my soul
And I was raised on rock
Growing up with the guitar men
Growing up way too fast
Follow the sound of a rock n'roll band
This call will always last
Cause I was raised on rock
2. STING IN THE TAIL
Save me from myself before I'm going down
My world went kind of crazy spinning 'round 'n 'round
My body's in a mess from head to toe
Got nothing to lose and nowhere to go
I'm driving out of town just follow my heart
I think I'm gonna be a rock n'roll star
The girls would go mad I'd give 'em all I can give
If I had a cheap guitar and one dirty riff
Jo Jo I got to go
Here comes another show
Hail hail a sting in the tail
Hail hail a sting in the tail
Hail hail a sting in the tail
Hail hail a sting in the tail
Rocking night after night day after day
There's plenty of love and no escape
Life's screaming and rolling like a monster train
Destination to nowhere I won't be late
Jo Jo I got to go
Here comes another show
Hail hail a sting in the tail
Hail hail a sting in the tail
Hail hail a sting in the tail
Hail hail a sting in the tail
3. SLAVE ME
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Life's a kind of struggle
Living in this town
I'm never looking back no
Just ahead
My mind was locked up in a cage
Always ready to break out
Those heavy chains on me drive me mad
I want to be in love tonight
I want to get you when I got you
Give me just one night
I want to be your love tonight
Slave me
Power's one that matters
Only one of us can survive
Tell me if your strong enough to stay on track
Will I die and go to heaven
If life was living hell
All I know is that I'm always coming back
I want to be in love tonight
I want to get you when I got you
Give me just one night
I want to be your love tonight
Slave me
Slave me
Shake me
Bake me
Break me
Take me where the sun don't shine
Cruise me
Choose me
Use me
Bruise me
Make me lose my mind
I want to be in love tonight
Yeah yeah
Mamama, mamama, mamama, mamama
Slave me
Yeah yeah yeah
I want to be in love tonight
I want to get you when I got you
Give me just one night
I want to be your love tonight
Slave me
Yeah yeah yeah
Come on and slave me
4. THE GOOD DIE YOUNG
You wake up
Watch the world go 'round
You shiver
Feeling upside down
Your heart is beating fast
Pumping blood to your head
Another day to fight
You have a prayer on your lips under the desert sun
And a loaded gun
You remember
That your father said
Stay out of trouble son
If you're true to yourself
You'll be working like a dog
Raise a family
And life will be alright
But now it's written in the stars if you'll make it out alive
Out alive
The good die young
There might be no tomorrow
In god we trust
Through all this pain and sorrow
The good die young
The flame will burn forever
And no one knows your name
Bring the boys back home again
It was a quiet day
On the streets of hope
When the bomb went off
At the side of the road
Sounds of breaking steel
An windshield full of blood
No enemy in sight
It feels like in a movie scenes are passing by
It's your life
The good die young
There might be no tomorrow
In god we trust
Through all this pain and sorrow
The good die young
The flame will burn forever
And no one knows your name
Bring the boys back home again
You remember every word
That your father said
Stay out of trouble son
That'll be true to yourself
Got a prayer on your lips under the desert sun
And the loaded gun
5. NO LIMIT
What's the noise who's to blame
The Maserati comes unchained
Smell the power and energy
Come away, come away, come away
You're the rider of the wildest storm
Live your dreams before they're gone
Feel the spirit that sets you free
Come away, come away, come away
You gotta live it up there's no limit
We gotta make it there's no limit
You give it all you've got there's no limit
Reach for the sky
We gonna leave for tomorrowland
We've got the future on our hands
A piece of heaven for you and me
Come away, come away, come away
You gotta live it up there's no limit
We gotta make it there's no limit
You give it all you've got there's no limit
Reach for the sky
You gotta let it go there's no limit
We gotta take it there's no limit
You leave me hot and cold there's no limit
Out of my mind
Higher higher
Take me higher always higher
Reach for the sky
6. ROCK ZONE
You let me in but won't let me out
You hold the key to what it's all about
I hear your machine just coming round the block
Just ready to go to rock around the clock
He's an angel but no one can tell
He might be from heaven might be from hell
You're not alone in the rock zone
You got it down down to the bone
You're not alone in the rock zone
You're not alone
Rock zone
Rock zone
Not alone
The temperature's rising put the helmet on
This is a place where I belong
Bad girl's keep a coming showing all the rest
What rock n'roll girls really do best
Is she an angel or under a spell
I hear the devil ringing the bell
You're not alone in the rock zone
You got it down down to the bone
You're not alone in the rock zone
You're not alone (in the rock zone)
Rock Zone
Rock Zone
Rock Zone
Rock Zone
You're not alone
7. LORELEI
There was a time when we sailed on together
Once had a dream that we shared on the way
There was a place where we used to seek shelter
I never knew the pain of the price I would pay
You led me on with a cloak and a dagger
And I didn't know you had made other plans
You had me believe we were meant for forever
I really thought my heart would be safe in your hands
Lorelei
My ship has passed you by
And though you promised me to show the way
You led me astray
You were my lorelei
What kind of fool was I
Cause I believed in every word you said
And now I wonder why
Lorelei
There was a time when we held one another
Bearing our souls in the light of the flame
Those were the days now I've lost my illusions
Sometimes I wake in the night and I call out your name
Lorelei
My ship has passed you by
And though you promised me to show the way
You led me astray
You were my lorelei
What kind of fool was I
Cause I believed in every word you said
And now I wonder why
Lorelei
Now there's a light that shines on the river
Blinding my eyes from so far away
Shot through the heart but now I know better
As hard as it is to resist the song that you play
Lorelei
8. TURN YOU ON
Yeah!
Let's fly away from here
And scream if you like it
The word of there disappears
Tell me are you excited
Just a soul
Is ramblin' and rollin' chain
The sweat is so silly
Tonight we will sleep away
Just rockin' and rolling
Beyond the point of no return
The fear is rising 'till we crash and burn
There's something in my head that is sinking out of blood
And nothing in the world
This is all we've got
So come on!
If you wanna feel the sting
Come on, come on, come on, come on!
Come on baby shake that thing
I'm gonna turn you on!
Yeah! Yeah!
I'm gonna turn you on!
Yeah!
Let's celebrate all night
We're starting all over
You turn me into what I was
An hard rock'n'roller
Into the line of light an dark
A passion never known embraces my heart
You're the best rockin' like heaven and hell
If I'm coming back
Hard to tell
So come on!
If you wanna feel the sting
Come on, come on, come on, come on!
Come on baby shake that thing
Mymy mymy mymy Rock out!
And let the show begin
I'm gonna turn you on!
Yeah yeah yeah!
[guitar solo]
So come on!
If you wanna feel the sting
Come on, come on, come on, come on!
Come on baby shake that thing
Mymy mymy mymy Rock out!
Feel the sting...
Come on, come on, come on, come on!
And let the show begin!
I'm gonna turn you on!
I'm gonna turn you on!
Yeah yeah!
I'm gonna turn you on!
Turn you on!
9. LET'S ROCK
She looked like mother nature
Dressed up in black
She had a ying and a yang
Tattooed on her back
A pretty little blonde on a big white horse
I wanted a ride she said of course
Let’s rock let’s roll
The party’s on we’re having a ball
We’re gonna leave a sting in your soul
We put the rock back in the roll
Let’s rock let’s roll
She looked like a dancer
And god only knows
She must have had a thing
For scorpions
To make little love wouldn’t be no crime
And what came next really blew my mind
Let’s rock let’s roll
The party’s on we’re having a ball
We’re gonna leave a sting in your soul
We put rock back in the roll
Let’s rock let’s roll
Coming together
Rocking forever let’s rock
The party’s on
All night long let’s rock
10. SLY
She was born with a song in the air
In the summer of 85
The clouds just went and the day became so bright
A child of love angel like
With the most beautiful smile
Growing up to be the sunshine of my life
Come talk to me
Don't run away
Don't let the distance grow
The door's wide open
Don't ever think
There is no way home
Sly come home tonight
The world is so bad you drive'em all mad
With your smile
Sly my joy and my pride
When the runaway train took you away
A part of me died
The years went by like the summer of love
So much changed in our lives
They're too may scars deep under my skin
Love turned to hate and hate to love
Let's start all over again
And now I wonder what life will bring
Just let us laugh
The tears away
No more hard feelings no
Cause after all
You're my flesh and blood
I don't want you to fall
Sly come home tonight
The world is so bad you drive'em all mad
With your smile
Sly come home alive
When the runaway train took you away
A part of me died
11. SPIRIT OF ROCK
We are in the ocean
Every kind of fish
We are a human rainbow
We are whatever we wish
We have been forever
And we shall always be
We can endure whatever
We are eternity
The spirit of rock will never die
Just like a rock in the ocean
In the spirit of rock we’re flying high
Always high on emotion
The spirit of rock will never die
I swear Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
We’ve had night’s so lonely
We’ve had our days of doubt
Some things we’ve learnt to live with
Some things we live without
We got no time for waiting
We got no sacred cows
For there is no tomorrow
There’s only here and now
And the spirit of rock will never die
Just like a rock in the ocean
In the spirit of rock we’re flying high
A million miles high on emotion
The spirit of rock will never die
I swear Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Five days a week
Keep the spirit alive
Eight days a week
12. THE BEST IS YET TO COME
Across the desert plains
Where nothing dares to grow
I taught you how to sing
You taught me everything I know
And thought the night is young
And we don't know if we'll live to see the sun
The best is yet to come
I know, you know
That we've only just begun
Through the highs and lows
And how can I live without you
You're such a part of me
And you've always been the one
Keeping me forever young
And the best is yet to come
Hey hey Ho
Don't look now, the best is yet to come
Hey Hey Ho
Take my hand, the best is yet to come
Thinking of the times
How we laughed and cried
I wouldn't change a thing
I couldn't even if I tried
Through the wind and rain
The spirit of our song remains the same
And the best is yet to come
I know, you know
That we've only just begun
Through the highs and lows
And how can I live without you
You're such a part of me
And you've always been the one
Keeping me forever young
And the best is yet to come
Hey Hey Ho
Don't look now, the best is yet to come
Hey Hey Ho
Take my hand, the best is yet to come
Oh can you feel it in the air
It's in your heart and everywhere
We got to keep that dream alive
We cross another road
And face another day
Soldiers never die
They only fade away
How can we grow old
When the soundtrack of our lives is rock and roll
And the best is yet to come
I know, you know
That we've only just begun
Through the highs and lows
And how can I live without you
You're such a part of me
And you've always been the one
Keeping me forever young
And the best is yet to come
Hey Hey Ho
Don't look now, the best is yet to come
Hey Hey Ho
Take my hand, the best is yet to come
Hey Hey Ho
Don't look now, the best is yet to come
Hey Hey Ho
Take my hand, the best is yet to come
Hey Hey Ho
Don't look now, the best is yet to come
Hey Hey Ho
Take my hand, the best is yet to come
