1. _ Heaven Can Wait
Heaven can wait
And a band of angels wrapped up in my heart
Will take me through the lonely night
Through the cold of the day
And i know
I know
Heaven can wait
And all the gods come down here just to sing for me
And the melody's gonna make me fly
Without pain
Without fear
Give me all of your dreams
And let me go along on your way
Give me all of your prayers to sing
And i'll turn the night into the skylight of day
I got a taste of paradise
I'm never gonna let it slip away
I got a taste of paradise
It's all i really need to make me stay --
Just like a child again
Heaven can wait
And all i got is time until the end of time
I won't look back
I won't look back
Let the altars shine
And i know that i've been released
But i don't know to where
And nobody's gonna tell me know
And i don't really care
No no no
I got a taste of paradise
That's all i really need to make me stay
I got a taste of paradise
If i had it any sooner you know
You know i never would have run away from my home
Heaven can wait
And all i got is time until the end of time
I won't look backr
I won't look back
Let the altars shine
Heaven can wait
Heaven can wait
I won't look back
I won't look back
Let the altars shine
Let the altars shine

3. _ Bat Out Of Hell
The sirens are screaming and the fires are howling
Way down in the valley tonight
There's a man in the shadows with a gun in his eye
And a blade shining oh so bright
There's evil in the air and there's thunder in the sky
And a killer's on the bloodshot streets
And down in the tunnel where the deadly are rising
Oh i swear i saw a young boy
Down in the gutter
He was starting to foam in the heat
Oh baby you're the only thing in this whole world
That's pure and good and right
And wherever you are and wherever you go
There's always gonna be some light
But i gotta get out
I gotta break it out now
Before the final crack of dawn
So we gotta make the most of our one night together
When it's over you know
We'll both be so alone
Like a bat out of hell
I'll be gone when the morning comes
When the night is over
Like a bat out of hell i'll be gone gone gone
Like a bat out of hell i'll be gone when the morning comes
When the day is done
And the sun goes down
And the moonlight's shining through
Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven
I'll come crawling on back to you
I'm gonna hit the highway like a battering ram
On a silver black phantom bike
When the metal is hot and the engine is hungry
And we're all about to see the light
Nothing ever grows in this rotten old hole
And everything is stunted and lost
And nothing really rocks
And nothing really rolls
And nothing's ever worth the cost
And i know that i'm damned if i never get out
And maybe i'm damned if i do
But with any other beat i got left in my heart
You know i'd rather be damned with you
If i gotta be damned you know i wanna be damned
Dancing through the night with you
If i gotta be damned you know i wanna be damned
Gotta be damned you know i wanna be damned
If gotta be damned you know i wanna be damned
Dancing through the night
Dancing through the night
Dancing through the night with you
Oh baby you're the only thing in this whole world
That's pure and good and right
And wherever you are and wherever you go
There's always gonna be some light
But i gotta get out
I gotta break it out now
Before the final crack of dawn
So we gotta make the most of our one night together
When it's over you know
We'll both be so alone
Like a bat out of hell
I'll be gone when the morning comes
When the night is over
Like a bat out of hell i'll be gone
Like a bat out of hell i'll be gone when the morning comes
But when the day is done
And the sun goes down
And the moonlight's shining through
Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven
I'll come crawling on back to you
Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven
I'll come crawling on back to you
I can see myself
Tearing up the road
Faster than any other boy has ever gone
And my skin is rough but my soul is ripe
And no one's gonna stop me now
I gotta make my escape
But i can't stop thinking of you
And i never see the sudden curve until it's way too late
I never see the sudden curve until it's way too late
Then i'm dying on the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun
Torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike
And i think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell
And the last thing i see is my heart
Still beating
Breaking out of my body
And flying away
Like a bat out of hell
Then i'm dying at the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun
Torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike
And i think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell
And the last thing i see is my heart
Still beating
Still beating
Breaking out of my body and flying away
Like a bat out of hell
Like a bat out of hell
Like a bat out of hell
Like a bat out of hell
Like a bat out of hell
Like a bat out of hell

4. _ Is Nothing Sacred
If a love as strong as ours
Couldn't make it all the way,
Can anything make sense at all?
If a love so deep and true
Couldn't stand the test of time,
Then mount everest could slide,
And jeruselem could fall.
Is nothing sacred anymore?
Is forever just another word?
Is a promise something people used to keep
When love was worth fighting for?
If we can say good-bye,
If we can say good-bye,
Is nothing sacred anymore?
If we can say good-bye
Is nothing sacred anymore?
I can hear the final words
Every sentence that was said
Don't know what turned our lives around.
It doesn't matter who was right,
There's no justice in a dream.
Never thought a heart could break
Without making any sound.
Is nothing sacred anymore?
Is forever just another word?
Is a promise something people used to keep
When love was worth fighting for?
If we can say good-bye,
If we can say good-bye,
Is nothing sacred anymore?
If we can say good-bye
If we can say good-bye
Is nothing sacred anymore?
Our love was as certain as the dawn,
As solid and save as any love could be.
Our love was the star you wished upon,
And you thought that i saved you,
Could've sworn that you saved me.
Is nothing sacred anymore?
Is forever just another word?
Is a promise something people used to keep
When love was worth fighting for?
If we can say good-bye,
If we can say good-bye,
Is nothing sacred anymore?
Is nothing sacred anymore?
Is forever just another word?
Is a promise something people used to keep
When love was worth fighting for?
If we can say good-bye,
If we can say good-bye,
Is nothing sacred anymore?
If we can say good-bye,
If we can say good-bye...
Is nothing sacred anymore...
Is nothing sacred anymore...
Is nothing sacred anymore...

5. _ More Than You Deserve
From the very first moment i saw you, i knew our love would be so strong
And the very first moment i kissed you, i knew our joy would last so long
And then i saw you making love to my best friend, i didn't know whatever to say
I saw you making love to my best friend
So i looked him right in his eyes and i said - listen boy
Chorus:
Won't you take some more, it's what you came for
And don't mind me, i won't throw you no curves
Have yourself a ball with my good woman
Won't you take some more boy, it's more than you deserve
Won't you take some more boy, it's more than you deserve
When i saw you hanging round the truck stop, shining like an angel in the night
And when i saw you crying like a baby, i knew you'd have to be my wife
Then i saw you making love to my best friend, i didn't know whatever to say
I saw you making love to my best friend
So i looked him right in his eyes and i said - listen boy
Chorus
(instrumental break)
Now i think i'm gonna have to leave you
Because i'm feeling much too weak to share
And the pie, oh it's cut in too many pieces
The flavor that i crave is no longer there
Then i saw you making love to two of my best friends
I didn't know whatever to say
I saw you making love to a group of my best friends
So i looked them right in their eyes and i said - listen here, group
Chorus
Won't you take some more boys, it's more than you deserve

7. _ Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad
Baby we can talk all night
But that ain't getting us nowhere
I told you everything i possibly can
There's nothing left inside of here
And maybe you can cry all night
But that'll never change the way that i feel
The snow is really piling up outside
I wish you wouldn't make me leave here
I poured it on and i poured it out
I tried to show you just how much i care
I'm tired of words and i'm too hoarse to shout
But you've been cold to me so long
I'm crying icicles instead of tears
And all i can do is keep on telling you
I want you
I need you
But -- there ain't no way i'm ever gonna love you
Now don't be sad
'cause two out of three ain't bad
Now don't be sad
'cause two out of three ain't bad
You'll never find your gold on a sandy beach
You'll never drill for oil on a city street
I know you're looking for a ruby in a mountain of rocks
But there ain't no coupe de ville hiding at the bottom of a cracker jack box
I can't lie
I can't tell you that i'm something i'm not
No matter how i try
I'll never be able
To give you something
Something that i just haven't got
There's only one girl that i will ever love
And that was so many years ago
And though i know i'll never get her out of my heart
She never loved me back
Ooh i know
I remember how she left me on a stormy night
She kissed me and got out of our bed
And though i pleaded and i begged her not to walk out that door
She packed her bags and turned right away
And she kept on telling me
She kept on telling me
She kept on telling me
I want you
I need you
But there ain't no way i'm ever gonna love you
Now don't be sad
'cause two out of three ain't bad
I want you
I need you
But there ain't no way i'm ever gonna love you
Now don't be sad
'cause two out of three ain't bad
Don't be sad
'cause two out of three ain't bad
Baby we can talk all night
But that ain't getting us nowhere

8. _ Life Is A Lemon And I Want My Money Back
I want my money back
I want my money back
It's all or nothing
And nothing's all i ever get
Every time i turn it on
I burn it up and burn it out
It's always something
There's always something going wrong
That's the only guarantee
That's what this is all about
It's a never ending attack
Everything's a lie, and that's a fact
Life is a lemon and i want my money back!
And all the morons
And all the stooges with their coins
They're the ones who make the rules
It's not a game - it's just a rout
There's desperation
There's desperation in the air
It leaves a stain on all your clothes
And no detergant gets it out
And we're always slipping through the the cracks
Then the movie's over - fade to black
Life is a lemon and i want my money back!
I want my money back
I want my money back
What about love?
It's defective!
It's always breaking in half
What about sex?!
It's defective!
It's never built to really last
What about your family?
It's defective!
All the batteries are shot
What about your friends?
They're defective!
All the parts are out of stock
What about hope?
It's defective!
It's corroded and decayed
What about faith?
It's defective!
It's tattered and it's frayed
What about your gods?
They're defective!
They forgot the warranty
What about your town?
It's defective!
It's a dead end street to me
What about your school?
It's defective!
It's a pack of useless lies
What about your work?
It's defective!
It's a crock and then you die
What about your childhood?
It's defective!
It's dead and buried in the past
What about your future?
It's defective!
And you can shove it up your ass!!
I want my money back
I want my money back
It's all or nothing
And nothing's all i ever get
Every time i turn it on
I burn it up and burn it out
It's a never ending attack
Everything's a lie, and that's a fact
Life is a lemon and i want my money back!
And we're always slipping through the the cracks
Then the movie's over-fade to black
Life is a lemon and i want my money back!

9. _ Paradise By The Dashboard Light
i. paradise
Boy:
I remember every little thing
As if it happened only yesterday
Parking by the lake
And there was not another car in sight
And i never had a girl
Looking any better than you did
And all the kids at school
They were wishing they were me that night
And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a
Knife
Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
C'mon! hold on tight!
C'mon! hold on tight!
Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light
Girl:
Ain't no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed
Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely dressed
Ain't no doubt about it
Baby got to go and shout it
Ain't no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed
Boy:
Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely dressed
Baby doncha hear my heart
You got it drowning out the radio
I've been waitin so long
For you to come along and have some fun
And i gotta let ya know
No you're never gonna regret it
So open up your eyes i got a big surprise
It'll feel all right
Well i wanna make your motor run
And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a
Knife
Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
C'mon! hold on tight!
C'mon! hold on tight!
Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light
Oh it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
Paradise by the dashboard light
You got to do what you can
And let mother nature do the rest
Ain't no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed
Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely --
We're gonna go all the way tonight
We're gonna go all the way tonight's the night
We're gonna go all the way tonight
We're gonna go all the way tonight's the night
We're gonna go all the way tonight
We're gonna go all the way tonight's the night
We're gonna go all the way tonight
We're gonna go all the way tonight's the night
Radio broadcast:
Ok here we go, we got a real pressure cooker going
Here, two down, nobody on, no score, bottom of the ninth, there's the wind-up,
And there it is, a line shot up the middle, look at him go. this boy can really
Fly! he's rounding first and really turning it on now, he's not letting up at
All, he's gonna try for second; the ball is bobbled out in center, and here
Comes the throw, and what a throw! he's gonna slide in head first, here he
Comes, he's out! no, wait, safe - safe at second base, this kid really makes
Things happen out there. batter steps up to the plate here's the pitch - he's
Going, and what a jump he's got, he's trying for third, here's the throw, its
In the dirt - safe at third! holy cow, stolen base! he's taking a pretty big
Lead out there, almost daring him to try and pick him off. the pitcher glances
Over, winds up, and it bunted, bunted down the third base line, the suicide
Squeeze is on! here he comes, squeeze play, it's gonna be close, here's the
Throw, here's th
E play at the plate, holy cow, i think he's gonna make it!

Iii. praying for the end of time
Boy:
I couldn't take it any longer
Lord i was crazed
And when the feeling came upon me
Like a tidal wave
I started swearing to my god and on my mother's
Grave
That i would love you to the end of time
I swore that i would love you to the end of time!
So now i'm praying for the end of time
To hurry up and arrive
Cause if i gotta spend another minute with you
I don't think that i can really survive
I'll never break my promise or forget my vow
But god only knows what i can do right now
I'm praying for the end of time
It's all that i can do
Praying for the end of time, so i can end my time
With you!!!
Boy:
It was long ago and it was far away
And it was so much better than it is today
Girl:
It never felt so good
It never felt so right
And we were glowing like
A metal on the edge of a knife

10. _ You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth (hot Summer Night)
Boy: on a hot summer night would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?
Girl: will he offer me his mouth?
Boy: yes
Girl: will he offer me his teeth?
Boy: yes
Girl: will he offer me his jaws?
Boy: yes
Girl: will he offer me his hunger?
Boy: yes
Girl: again, will he offer me his hunger?
Boy: yes!
Girl: and will he starve without me?
Boy: yes!
Girl: and does he love me?
Boy: yes
Girl: yes
Boy: on a hot summer night would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?
Girl: yes
Boy: i bet you to say that to all the boys.
It was a hot summer night and the beach was burning
There was fog crawling over the sand
When i listened to your heart i hear the whole world turning
I see the shooting stars
Falling through your trembling hands
You were licking your lips and your lipstick shining
I was dying just to ask for a taste
We were lying together in a silver lining
By the light of the moon
You know there's not another moment
Not another moment
Not another moment to waste
When you hold me so close that my knees grow weak
And my soul is flying high above the ground
I'm trying to speak but no matter what i do
I just can't seem to make any sound
And then you took the words right out of my mouth
Oh it must have been while you were kissing me
You took the words right out of my mouth
And i swear it's true
I was just about to say i love you
And then you took the words right out of my mouth
Oh it must have been while you were kissing me
You took the words right out of my mouth
And i swear it's true
I was just about to say i love you
Now my body is shaking like a wave on the water
And i guess that i'm beginning to grin
Oooh, we're finally alone and we can do what we want to
The night is young
And ain't no one gonna know where you
No one gonna know where you
No one's gonna know where you've been
You were licking your lips and your lipstick shining
I was dying just to ask for a taste
We were lying together in a silver lining
By the light of the moon
You know there's not another moment
Not another moment
Not another moment to waste
And then you took the words right out of my mouth
Oh it must have been while you were kissing me

11. _ All Revved Up With No Place To Go
i was nothing but a lonely boy
Looking for something new.
And you were nothing but a lonely girl
But you were something
Something like a dream come true
I was a varsity tackle and a hell of a block
When i played my guitar
I made the canyons rock -- but --
Every saturday night
I felt the fever grow
Do ya know what it's like
All revved up with no place to go
Do ya know what it's like
All revved up with no place to go
In the middle of a steaming night
I'm tossing in my sleep
And in the middle of a red-eyed dream
I see you coming
Coming on to give it to me
I was out on the prowl down by the edge of the track
And like a son of a jackal
I'm a leader of the pack -- but --
Every saturday night
I felt the fever grow
Do ya know what it's like
All revved up with no place to go
Do ya know what it's like
All revved up with no place to go
Oh, baby, i'm a hunter in the dark of the forest
I've been stalking you and tracking you downr
Cruising up and down the main drag all night long
We could be standing at the top of the world
Instead of sinking further down in the mud
You and me 'round about midnight
You and me 'round about midnight
Someone's got to draw first
Draw first
Someone's got to draw first blood
Someone's got to draw first blood
Oooh i got to draw first blood
Oooh i got to draw first blood
I was out on the prowl down by the edge of the track --
And like a son of a jackal i'm a leader of the pack -- but --
Every saturday night
I felt the fever grow
Do ya know what it's like
All revved up with no place to go
Do ya know what it's like
All revved up with no place to go
I was nothing but a lonely all-american boy
Looking out for something to do
And you were nothing but a lonely all-american girl
But you were something like a dream come true
I was a varsity tackle and a hell of a block
And when i played my guitar i made the canyons rock
But every saturday night
I felt the fever grow
All revved up with no place to go
All revved up with no place to go
All revved up with no place to go
All revved up with no place to go
All revved up with no place to go
