The night's exploding everywhere When hate pulls the trigger The devil comes to take his share In the garden of Eden The time is running out so fast Into heart of the demon With no escape our die is cast In the city of angels Death is just a moment away In the city of angels Your future won't see the light of the day Beware of the alien nation Beware of the truth that they seek They pray for eternal salvation They pray for your soul to keep On the eve of destruction A reign of terror rules the street When the heads start rolling The devil comes to let it bleed In the city of angels Death is just a moment away In the city of angels Your future won't see the light of the day Walk on past the alien nation Walk on to the end of your reach No fear of the alien nation No fear of the hatred they preach Don't run, there's no place to hide Today or tomorrow it will get you Don't move, the knife is right at your throat And whatever you do, there's no way out When the shroud comes down on this place To bury us all alive We'll know the time has come, to face the heat Beware of the alien nation Beware of the truth that they seek They pray for eternal salvation They pray for your soul to keep Walk on past the alien nation Walk on to the end of your reach They pray for eternal damnation They pray for your soul to keep ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2) No Pain No Gain (Schenker / Meine, Mark Hudson) 3:55 Face in the gutter eyes on the floor Knocked down twice can't take it no more You got no vision in your head You got no vision better dead Get on your feet open the door Walk on down you know the score It's a dead-end street back to the wall Get it together you can get it all The weak will fall the strong remain No pain no gain (2) No time for losers you make the call Believe in yourself stand tall Another day it's in your hand You can be the winner in the end The weak will fall the strong remain No pain no gain (4) Keep runnin' don't look back Keep movin' straight ahead Keep goin' don't ever stop There's time to rest the day you'll drop You roll the dice you play the game The weak will fall the strong remain No pain no gain (2) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3) Someone To Touch (Schenker / Meine, Hudson) 4:28 I'm an alleycat with only seven lives I'm the trouble scratching at your door When the moon is bright and shining high I'm getting loose just like the night before One for the money, two for the show You can't resist it on a night like this I'm the answer baby and you know Tonight you're mine, forget the guy you're with Baby I don't care If I have to crawl an extra mile 'cause you can take me everywhere And you're the one I really need tonight Someone to touch I need a girl like you Someone to touch That somebody could be you Don't try to tell me that your daddy's mean You think your mama wouldn't let me in Come on 'n step inside my dream machine Don't fight it honey you just can't win 'cause baby I don't care If I have to crawl an extra mile 'cause you can take me everywhere And you're the one I really need tonight Someone to touch I need a girl like you Someone to touch That somebody could be you Someone to touch I need a girl like you Someone to touch C'mon baby, I think it's you ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4) Under The Same Sun (Hudson / Meine, Bruce Fairbairn) 4:52 I saw the morning It was shattered by a gun Heard a scream, saw him fall, no one cried I saw a mother She was praying for her son Bring him back, let him live, don't let him die Do you ever ask yourself Is there a Heaven in the sky Why can't we get it right 'Cause we all live under the same sun We all walk under the same moon Then why, why can't we live as one I saw the evening Fading shadows one by one We watch the lamb, lay down to the sacrifice I saw the children The children of the sun How they wept, how they bled, how they died Do you ever ask yourself Is there a Heaven in the sky Why can't we stop the fight 'Cause we all live under the same sun We all walk under the same moon Then why, why can't we live as one Sometimes I think I'm going mad We're loosing all we had and no one seems to care But in my heart it doesn't change We've got to rearrange and bring our world some love And does it really matter If there's a heaven up above We sure could use some love 'Cause we all live under the same sun We all walk under the same moon Then why, why can't we live as one 'Cause we all live under the same sky We all look up at the same stars Then why, tell me why can't we live as one ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5) Unholy Alliance (Schenker / Meine) 5:16 It came up crawling from the ruins of the past And I just can't believe my eyes It wears the same old face we thought was dead and gone Forever buried by the time Unholy alliance (2) It came up screaming from the ashes of the grave To make this world a battle field It's got a voice that steals the courage from the brave And leaves a scar that will not heal Unholy alliance (2) Don't wanna hear the same old lie that spreads the fear Only fools think it's cool We must be blind not to see the signs How can we dare to look away in the wake of yesterday Troubled times don't turn your back to the lions Troubled times just learn your lesson well The party is over We must be blind not to see the signs How can we dare to look away in the wake of yesterday Troubled times don't turn your back to the lions Troubled times just learn your lesson well The party is over Unholy alliance... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6) Woman (Schenker / Meine) 5:56 Woman you can change my world I'm chained to the fears Inside these walls The silence talks loud 'bout the things I recall Through the bricks in the window I scream at the world But when no one is listening It's hard to be heard Woman you can change my world I see shadows Coming through the walls I hear voices But no one's talking at all I can feel the madness Crawling up my spine Reachin' out To grab your mind Woman you can change my world (Do you remember all those fears?) They won't leave me alone (Do you remember all those tears?) I pretend to be strong (Do you remember all the pain?) I'm getting tired of the game I cannot live I cannot die I wanna know who the hell am I You've never seen me But I know you so well And before it kills me I gotta break the spell The deeper we touch The higher we'll go The time has come To heal my soul Woman come and change my world (Do you remember all those fears?) They won't leave me alone (Do you remember all those tears?) I pretend to be strong (Do you remember all the pain?) I'm getting tired of the game I cannot live I cannot die I wanna know who the hell am I Woman I'm gonna change your world ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7) Hate To Be Nice (Schenker / Meine) 3:34 Hey baby, listen up I'm not in love with you You keep runnin' off at the mouth And someone else can scratch my back And I could care less about your legs I just wanna see 'em walk all over me I'm runnin' out of patience And I ain't gonna say it twice The world out there is down'n'dirty, honey And I just hate to be nice So don't think about movin' any closer, baby Just forget about it You body may be a weapon on legs But hey, I'm not fallin' for that Don't you get it, I'm not impressed at all I just wanna see you crawl all over me I'm runnin' out of patience And I ain't gonna say it twice The world out there is down'n'dirty, honey And I just hate to be nice Don't you understand (2) Tell me when your eyes say yes How can your lips say no A girl like you shouldn't be surprised It's just I hate to be nice I'm runnin' out of patience And I ain't gonna say it twice The world out there is down'n'dirty, honey And I just hate to be nice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 8) Taxman Woman (Schenker / Meine) 4:30 I wake up in the morning I'm thinking of you In Dollars and Cents in high heel shoes I start to think and the headache goes boom I'm counting the bills that are stacked to the moon The money I'm giving to you I could live on forever (on the sunny side) What can I do so my life Turns around for the better (Got knows that I tried) Taxman woman I keep running Can't you see it's only money Taxman woman I keep running Can't you see it's so hard honey To keep up with you I work twice as hard what else can I do To make up the part that's been taken by you If it wasn't for you I would be rich But instead I'm a poor son of a bitch The money I'm giving to you I could live on forever (on the sunny side) What can I do so my life Turns around for the better (Got knows that I tried) Taxman woman I keep running Can't you see it's only money Taxman woman I keep running Can't you see it's so hard honey Taxman woman I keep running Can't you see that it ain't funny Taxman woman I keep running Can't you see it's so hard honey To keep up with you ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 9) Ship Of Fools (Schenker / Meine) 4:15 Another bloody Monday Thirty-nine Just died All hell breaks lose in the crowd A hopeless helter skelter Another mindless crime Some corner of the world is burning down Heading for a nervous breakdown Can't take it anymore I see the fear explode just like A thousand nights before The ship of fools Keeps on rollin' through a deadly storm It won't take long 'till we collide The ship of fools Keeps on following the siren's call Damned to be sacrificed Corrupt politicians Promise paradise The thieves are reaching out for the crown Violence is a killer Threatens all our lives Judgment day has come here and now Heading for a nervous breakdown Can't take it anymore I see the fear explode just like A thousand nights before The ship of fools Keeps on rollin' through a deadly storm It won't take long 'till we collide The ship of fools Keeps on following the siren's call Damned to be sacrificed ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 10) Nightmare Avenue (Jabs / Meine, Hudson) 3:54 Last night I went to kill Some time at the famous grill Where the tall eats the small There were girls all over me That's my insanity Don't call me Ringo, call me Paul I'm in heaven, I'm in hell Don't wipe that smile off my face Can't you tell I see faces in the weirdest places Please, won't you take me down Underneath you spell Oh, oh I'm back at midnight (alright) I drop my key, could you get 'em love Oh, oh baby I might (he might) I got the stuff to keep it goin' on all night Take me down nightmare avenue Goin' down nightmare avenue I wanna take you too Sharp as a saber's tooth Back in my favorite booth I'm getting spanked with cold champagne I'd walk on a razor blade If you're dressed like a French maid I get my pleasure out of pain Oh, oh I'm back at midnight (alright) I drop my key, could you get 'em love Oh, oh baby I might (he might) I got the stuff to keep it goin' on all night Take me down nightmare avenue Goin' down nightmare avenue Drive me down nightmare avenue Lay me down on nightmare avenue I wanna take you too ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 11) Lonely Nights (Schenker / Meine) 4:44 Since you're gone There is an empty space Since you're gone The world is not the same I go back to the places we've been It feels like you're still there I live all those moments again Wishing you were here Since you're gone There is an lonely heart Since you're gone Nothin' is like it was There are memories all over the place Bringin' it back all so clear Remember all of those days Wishing you were here All those lonely nights I gotta fight for you, yes I do Yes I do Since you're gone There is a heart that bleeds Since you're gone I'm not the man I used to be I follow you steps in the snow The traces disappear We know what we've lost when it's gone I'm wishing you were here All those lonely nights I gotta fight for you, yes I do Yes I do ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 12) Destin (Schenker / Meine) 3:17 - German CD bonus track Do you say a prayer when your feeling down Do you believe in love can turn your faith around To feeling high and loved you don't know what to think The world is full of saints for living life's insane Don't ask a mirror ball you better ask yourself I think you know the answers but maybe you can tell You see it all so clear just take a look inside The judge you build inside your heart will always be your guide Mon destin inscrit en toi (4) Another day goes by and so does your life You try to make some sense before your time to die If you feel humility for something that is true You find the secrets of this life deep inside of you Mon destin inscrit en toi (3) The inner sense won't feel The judgement day Mon destin inscrit en toi (3) The inner sense won't feel The judgement day Mon destin inscrit en toi (3) The inner sense won't feel The judgement day ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 13) Daddy's Girl (Schenker / Meine) 4:17 - German CD bonus track Sweet little child You know nothing But a cold world outside You're too young too realize What he wants from you tonight Poor little girl There is no one You can trust in the world In the darkness of the night What he's doing is a crime Your mother denies There's a problem She's looking away She don't wanna hear you cry She will pray Then it's over for a while Sweet little child You know nothing But a cold world outside You're too young too realize What he wants from you tonight Your mother denies There's a problem She's looking away She don't wanna hear you cry She will pray Then it's over for a while An ocean of silence Is drowning your heart What never should be Will remain in the dark Poor little girl There is no one You can trust in the world In the darkness of the night What he's doing is a crime Sweet little child You know nothing But a cold world outside You're too young too realize What he wants from you tonight Your mother denies There's a problem She's looking away She don't wanna hear you cry She will pray Then it's over for a while An ocean of silence Is drowning your heart What never should be Will remain in the dark Sweet little child You know nothing But a cold world outside You're too young too realize What he wants from you tonight She is daddy's girl Daddy's girl (2)
