Michael Schenker

A time of fear, so long ago,
Lived a man in Salon,
In his dark and magic room,
He gazed on times to come,
All is then revealed, and visions on water speak true!
Cry for the nations, cry for the nations.
A flash of light, fills the night,
And chills the blood in his veins,
Will the power possess his mind, soul in chains
All is then revealed, and tears that he shed were for you
Cry for the nations, cry for the nations.
Battles of kings, and of fools,
And changes in ways he once knew,
As pages of days fade away
He's lost in time...
Cry for the nations.

*Seventeen the nature's queen, know what I mean
Twenty one, the lone one,
you can see the numbers run
Now you look so peaceful, lyin' there asleep
With the wings of god above you
Before the spirits meet
*Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom

Shadow earth is closin in above the
Lamps in your street
Lucifer goes walkin' down for you to meet
Minutes pass so slowly by the hands on your clock
Heaven don’t just know where when, you can knock
* Repeat
With all darkness closing in
Will the light reveal your soul?
Just one sweet kiss on your clay cold lip’s
I know sleep you'll never know
Where do we go, where do we go
Where do we go from here?

*Repeat
* Repeat

Was a fast tough woman, loved to play the clown
You won't do nothin' about it, Break a good boy's resistance down
You know she's got a pistol, Laid it down for real
She said, shoot, shoot, shoot it boy
You gotta shoot it for me

Convinced me that she was worth it
Never knew I was her kill
And two 45's would do the trick and pay the bills
You know she's got a pistol
Laid it down on me
And she said, shoot, shoot, shoot it boy
You gotta shoot it for me

I've really got to get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here, Gotta get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here now

Holing out in my hotel room, police they finally come
And here is the prosecution,and my print’s upon the gun
You know she's got a pistol, Laid it down for real
She said, shoot, shoot, shoot it boy
You gotta shoot it for me
I've really got to get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here, Gotta get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here now

High flyers, wheelin' birds
I'm so far out to sea
Ships are passing every night
Oh, all my boyish dreams
And you're every melody
With the sea tides tossing' free
Never, never holdin' back
Rock and rollers drift by

Turn to summer, goes so fast
Seems I'll never see you
One weak hand and a photograph
Oh, all my boyish dreams

And you're every melody
With the sea tides tossing' free
Never, never holdin' back
Rock and rollers drift by

Oh Belladonna, never knew the pain
Maybe I'm crazy, maybe it'll drive me insane,
The open letter just carelessly placed ,
And you move in silence, the tea so delicately laced -

Out of reach, out of touch
How you've learned to hate so much
Out of reach, out of touch
How you've learned to hate so much

Came from passion, and you gave it a name
The fingers are poisoned like needles, in the drivin' rain
So smile discreetly as you watch with such grace
Now I must slip away, but can you forget my face

Something going on at the corner of the block
It's the kids down there They were startin' to rock
Hot black fever runnin' everyplace
When the Greek kid pulled a knife and pushed it in his face

Some girl makes it with a lover in the dark
As the ambulance pulls away, she cries out more
-And it's all night long, all night long

On with the action
Need the fastest legs alive
On with the action
If you can't run you aint gonna survive
On with the action
Mama's boy and teacher's pet
On with the action
It's down our street, is it in yours yet

All the kids stand laughin' They never had such fun
When someone cuts a brown man who just can't make a run
And the queen that's been standin' behind the toilet door
His parents don't like boyfriends, call him a whore
But the minister's starin' with his bible in his hand
Was this God’s children, he didn't understand
