Vixen

We were just startin' out on a dream
young enough to believe
everyone was on our side
no-one would deceive
But sometimes the truth gets served on a knife
you've gotta stand up and fight
We turned to each other and kicked it in gear
to earn our rock 'n' roll right

Pre-Chorus:
(Wo.....wo) In a world full of heartache, jealousy wears a friendly face
(Wo.....wo) We can hold on, you can't keep a fast car out of the race...

Chorus:
Give it all you've got....Rev it up...Rev it up
Push it to the top....Rev it up...Rev it up
If anyone tries to hold you back
don't let 'em run you off the track
Give it all you've got...Rev it up

Burnin' with the hope of the innocent
Ready to own tomorrow
We were gonna set the nights on fire
But doubt pierced like an arrow

Pre-chorus:
(Wo...wo) When no-one's in your corner, dig down deep and you'll find your
pride
(Wo...wo) Floor it all the way, Force behind the wheel can't be denied....

Chorus:
Give it all you've got....Rev it up...Rev it up
Push it to the top....Rev it up...Rev it up
If anyone tries to hold you back..don't let 'em run you off the track
Give it all you've got...Rev it up

Bridge:
Every fighter takes a fall, butdon't give up tryin'
Sometimes you fly, sometimes you crawl...One step at a time....

(Guitar solo)

(Wo...wo) Hold on tighter...when the ride gets a little rough
Don't give in, don't give up, give it all you've got...Rev it up..Rev it up
Push it to the top...Rev it up...Rev it up
If anyone tries to hold you back, don't let 'em run you off the track
Give it all you've got...Rev it up
Rev it up
Rev it up

You're in the corner, turning your back, you're runnin' away again
The more I give you, the less that you take, tell me, where is it gonna end?

Whoah-oh - I can see you've felt some pain
Whoah-oh - I know you've been hurt before
Whoah-oh - But I swear you won't get hurt no more - tell me

Chorus:
How much love is it gonna take, to prove I'm not another heartache
Till you begin to let your heart give in, how much love is it gonna take

I'm reachin' for you, gettin' so close, but you're always a step away
I wanna touch you 'n give my love, what is it gonna take

Whoah-oh - I can see it in your eyes
Whoah-oh - that you want to let me in
Whoah-oh - But you're scared that you'll get hurt again - tell me

chorus

I've been searchin' for an answer, oooh tell me what it's gonna be

(Solo)

chorus repeats out...

Only a fool believes
It's better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all
But I don't wanna take that fall
It's a long long long way down

I'm hurt
Love struck me down again
Enticed me in and pulled the pin
Blew my tender heart sky high
Now in my pain I'm asking why
As I'm crying
Should I give it my last try
Or say goodbye

Love is a killer
A homicidal fiend
Love is a killer
It'll be the death of me
I got a target on my back
For a cupid dressed in black
Love is a killer
It's killing me

Love so sweetly backoning
I've seen your face
Called your name
I tasted the tears you cried
Lived in shadows in my mind
Frozen here in time
Don't leave me here to die

Love is a killer
A homicidal fiend
Love is a killer
It'll be the death of me
I've got a target on my back
For a cupid dressed in black
Love is a killer
It's killing me

You fascinate and yet frustrate
Demand so much of me,yeah
I've had enough
It's tearing me up inside
Cross my heart hope to survive
You got a smoking gun
Well don't shoot me love

No,you're a killer
A homicidal fiend
Love is a killer
It'll be the death of me
I've got a target on my back
For a cupid dressed in black
Love is a killer
LOve is a killer

Pretty people pretty cars
Living in the lap of luxury
But this precious fantasy
Seems so close when it's so far from me
Tell me where to get in line
Show me how to change my luck this time

People turn their backs on you
On the streets in paradise
When you're not the chosen few
It's hot as hell and cold as ice
Everyday's another fight
Living on the streets in paradise

Come on

All that glitters isn't gold
Promises and dreams can get so old
I know what this game's about
People chew you up and spit you out, yeah, yeah
I need some kind of a sign
Can't seem to get into this dream of mine

People turn their backs on you
On the streets in paradise
When you're not the chosen few
It's hot as hell and cold as ice
Everyday's another fight
Living on the streets in paradise

There ain't no sacrifice
That I won't make, I'll pay the price
Oh no, I won't think twice
Nothing comes cheap in paradise

Tell me where to get in line
I can't seem to get into this dream of mine

People turn their backs on you
On the streets in paradise
When you're not the chosen few
It's hot as hell and cold as ice
Everyday's another fight
Living on the streets in paradise
People turn their backs on you
When you're not the chosen few
It's hot as hell and cold as ice
Everyday's another fight
Living on the streets in paradise
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na (repeat to fade)

Daddy didn't care, momma wasn't there, Jenny slammed the door to her heart
Packed a suitcase of anger, no-one tried to save her
She headed for the city that shines in the dark
But the lights fade away...when you're out on the streets without a prayer
Jenny learned to survive...put a price on the nights that never ends...

Chorus:
She's hard sixteen, soft to the touch, but she's seen too much
Hard sixteen...-will her soul run dry by seventeen..?

The face of innocence doesn't stand a chance between the losers, the
takers, the lost
But Jenny never cried, locked it all inside
she's trapped in a timebomb, ready to blow
There will come a day...when the mirror reveals a total stranger
Another lonely runaway...in a living hell

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
Jenny please come home.....
you've got so much to give, so much life left to live
So come home.......

(Guitar solo)

Hard sixteen, soft to the touch, but she's seen too much
Hard sixteen, -will her soul run dry?
Hard sixteen, -her Daddy didn't care, her momma wasn't there
Hard sixteen, -will her soul run dry?
Hard sixteen, soft to the touch, but she's seen too much
Hard sixteen, -will her soul run dry by seventeen....?

You're always on the edge, but you can never find a thrill
Fame and fortune's left you hungry still
You win young innocence with sly seduction
Indulgence paves the road to your destruction

What do you believe in and why do they believe in you?

Chorus:
You got a bad reputation, you're a wild sensation
Your ego's on the front line and your pride's on stage
You got a bad reputation with no hesitation
Will you take the young ones with you on your way down to the grave?

You're walking a thin line, but you take no advice
You got all the answers, you don't need no compromise
You sure convinced us all that you're a world class sinner
You're running in a race, where there's never any winners

What do you believe in and what do people see in you?

chorus

Ain't nothing new about what you're going through, no
It's the same old theme, of the bad boy scene
You're in control, but your hands aren't on the wheel
I bet we'll see you at the crossroads trying to make a deal!
But that ain't no deal, it's a long way down

(Solo)

chorus repeats out...

They called him crazy on the streets, young and angry, one bad seed
He wore the colors of his call, he'd be the baddest of them all

Shoot out came down in a police raid
By a Smith & Wesson .38 at 17 he met his fate

Chorus:
Fallen hero, what were you trying to prove?
Fallen hero, all you got was front page news
It's too late, tough break, read your epitaph
Fallen hero, how many others will follow in your path?

He had a lady, now she cries alone
It would come to this, she's always known
She remembers how he used to say, there ain't no future anyway

Sirens echo in the night, now his name is the battle cry
Of another boy who lives to die

chorus

And so the story lives on of how his glory was won
And no lesson ever learned of the tragedies to come

(Solo)

Sirens echo in the night, now his name is the battle cry
Of another boy who lives to die

chorus repeats out...

The scene is set, we play the parts
Boy meets girl, better shelter our hearts
We trace the steps that a thousand lovers have danced before
Without a sound, we're face to face, and every breath is suspended in space
Every moment we're together just leaves us wanting more

Holding back tonight, afraid of tomorrow
We both know something's got to give
Gotta make it soul to soul, so come a little closer

Chorus:
We're only a heart beat away, from laying it all on the line
We're only a heart beat away, it's just a matter of time
So tell me that you need me, an' I'll come runnin', baby can't you see
We're only a heart beat away

It's in the air, it's in our eyes, burning through every cool disguise
And pretending that we don't care pushes us closer to each other's fire
It's too late to break the spell that encircles us
The chains of destiny are strong, stronger than both of us
Come on, let's surrender

chorus

Been too scared of taking a fall, just a heart beat away from giving our all
It's only love, only love

(Solo)

Holding back tonight, afraid of tomorrow
We both know something's got to give
Gotta make it soul to soul, come on, let's surrender

chorus repeats out

You don't need a special invitation to come to the blow-out party of a nation
The big one's been set up for tonight
Wreak a little havoc till the place is a sight

No more reason to be pleasin', rocket blast, rock it down, rock on 10
Tomorrow might never come again

Chorus:
Let's have a wrecking ball - really tear it up
Let's have a wrecking ball - a little rough and tough
This is it - last call - let's raise hell until the walls fall
Let's have a wrecking ball

Abandon all morality, anything goes, got nothin' to lose but your sanity
The finger's on the button, this is your last ride
It's an "E" ticket with the devil by your side

Missiles burning, sky is turning, grab it up, rip it hard, take a bite
You might not see the morning light

chorus

(Solo)

chorus repeats 4x...

I can't believe I could've been so blind, but love is strange
I thought about it for a long long time, but the truth remains
I don't need another lonely night to dry my tears
The answer's plain as black and white, and I can see the picture very clear

[Chorus:]
I been living on the edge of a broken heart
I don't wanna fall, I don't wanna crawl
I been living on the edge of a broken heart
Don't you wonder why I gotta say goodbye

It isn't like you never had the chance to change your tune
Did you think that I'm a dime a dance, well the dance is through
I been doing things your way too long, but baby that's over (baby that's over)
It won't be easy, but I gotta be strong
And if I wanna cry I don't need your shoulder

[chorus]

I'll find someone else who's nothing like you
And who can play the game as well
And you're gonna be sorry baby - when it's over

[Solo]

I been doing things your way too long, baby that's over (baby that's over)
It won't be easy, but I've got to be strong
And if I wanna cry I don't need your shoulder

[chorus]

I been living on the edge of a broken heart
I been living on the edge of a broken heart
Don't you wonder why I gotta say goodbye
I been living on the edge of a broken heart

It was Saturday night and I was feeling alright, I had nothing to lose
I threw the top down, then pulled into town, I had no time for the blues
When I pulled up and they were plugging it in, I was looking to find a seat
I met this guy, had a look in his eye, I swear he was saying to me

I want you to rock me, roll me, you won't get lonely
Come on and rock me, roll me, you oughta get to know me

When he grabbed his coat, he slipped me a note
It said, what are we waiting for?
Well guy, I'm sorry that we fooled around, I was looking for something more
Oh and he was shy, saying goodbye, he said "I really will give you a call"
Do I have to explain you're driving me insane
I'll tell you what I want you to do

I want you to rock me, roll me, learn to control me
Rock me, roll me, you really oughta get to know me
Come on rock me, roll me, I'm feeling kinda lonely
I want you to rock me, roll me, quit talking and show me

(rock me) (repeats 4x)

(Solo)

Now it's your turn

I'm gonna rock you, roll you, do all the things I told you
I'm gonna rock you, roll you, sit down and I'll show you

(Rock me, roll me, rock me, roll me) - I want you to rock me
(Rock me, roll me) - I wanna roll you - (rock me, roll me)

One look and I saw what I wanted to see, you know that you
Wrapped my heart around your finger so easily, yeah
With your centerfold body going through the moves
Why did I keep wasting the truth for you, tonight

Chorus:
I won't be cryin', cryin', when I think about you, 'cos I opened my eyes
And I won't be cryin', cryin', 'cos those days are gone, gone
Someone twisted you, so you gave it to me, yeah you gave it to me good
You're a nightmare everywhere, disguised as a dream
Well I got lost, wandering through the darkness in your maze of lies
Your trapdoor-way right into my insides, but tonight
I won't be cryin', cryin', when I think about you, 'cos I opened my eyes
And I won't be cryin', cryin'
The tears are falling to the floor, but you won't catch me cryin' anymore
(Solo)
chorus repeats out

One revolution turning around, grace under pressure, but don't make a sound
Our house is divided, but together we stand
One constitution goin' hand to hand

Here's to you, red and yellow, black and white
Once the daylight turned to night
We're not as bold as we may seem, we're looking for the American dream

Yes, American dream

Some people hiding, they do underground, sex as an issue in every dead town
Trading in secrets and dealing in lies
Living is easy when you close your eyes

Chorus:
Here's to you, red and yellow, black and white
Join the daylight, return to night
We're not as bold as we may seem, we're looking for the American dream

(Solo)

chorus - looking for the American dream, yeah

Looking for the American dream, the American dream
And we're not as bold as we may seem, American dream
We're looking for the American dream... (to fade)

There you go, walking away like you did before
But I know, I know you'll be back, back for more
And the game, the game will go on as it was
Nothing's changed, we'll know when we're closer to love

Aren't we desperate, aren't we afraid
We're just two lost and lonely people, scared to be alone again
Aren't we desperate, aren't we afraid

Can't you see that there are no victims, just volunteers
We won't change, we won't change until we face our fears
We're alone, even though we are together right now
Love remains, just out of reach somehow

Aren't we desperate, aren't we afraid
We're just two lost and lonely people, scared to be alone again
Aren't we desperate

I know we can make it, take up that look into my eyes
We'll take the future for you and I, yeah!

(Solo)

Are we so desperate, oh are we afraid
We're just two lost and lonely people, scared to be alone again
Are we so desperate, aren't we afraid

Desperate

I'll tell ya that I love you, if it makes everything alright
I just wanna hold you, I've got something to prove tonight
I'm tired of the telephone, can't you give me one night alone

I'm staring at your picture, I realize what you mean to me
Every single moment is burning deep in my memory
It doesn't matter what they say, our love's too good to throw it away
All we need is

One night alone - just you and me, won't you give me
One night alone - 'cos that's all I need
One night alone - you lovin' me

I wanna feel your heart beat in the darkness next to mine
I need to feel your heartbeat to know our love's still alive
The power of your tender touch, you know I waited long, long enough, for just

One night alone - that's how it should be, all we need is
One night alone - just you and me
One night alone - you lovin' me, can't you give me
One night, one night

This isn't the way two lovers live
This isn't the dream I wanna be living in, no no no

(Solo)

I'm tired of this telephone, can't you give me one night alone

One night alone - just you and me, all we need is
One night alone - that's how it should be
One night alone - you lovin' me, all we need is
One night, one night alone

Have you heard the word on the street today
We're packin' out, it ain't your way, your way
Roll out the carpet, and kneel onto the ground
Shut off the party 'cos we're coming 'round

Step into the fire, we're here to stray for you
We're taking you higher, that's what we're paid to do

Chorus:
Hell raisers, from town to town, hell raisers never let you down
Hell raisers, steppin' out, hell raisers, let there be no doubt (no)

New York to London, Paris to L.A.
Rollin' thunder, 'cos storm is on the way - get ready
Pressure risin' as the last's goin' down
Pretty seats, we've come to rock this town

Step into the fire, we're here to stray for you
We're taking you higher, that's what we're paid to do

chorus

(Solo)

Have you heard the word on the street today
We're packin' out, it ain't your way

Hell raisers, from town to town, hell raisers never let you down
Hell raisers, let there be no doubt

Our conversation ends too soon, you grab your coat and leave the room
My heart dissolves onto the floor, our world divides, we don't talk anymore

And I still remember when we first met, it was on a night like this
The moon was shining for you and me
When I stood alone, I'd be betrayed by your kiss

Chorus:
Love made me blind to the truth
Love made me crawl, I should've stood up to you
Love made me cry out your name
So what's so good about love when it hurts you this way

Cold lurking nights, in the days there were tears
They held us captive, and chained to our fears
Is this the dream you've been searching for
Is this the love that I don't want anymore

chorus

Somewhere in a scene you were holding me, we both never fade
But the hope it sounds on the battleground, nothing's gonna change

(Solo)

chorus repeats out...

You caught my eye and I will never be the same
I'm ready, I'm willing, I'm anxious to know your name

Could you be tempted to give me a chance
And a few other things I need to know: do you love and leave 'em?
When you got them believin' that you'll never go

Chorus:
Oh you, you keep me waiting, waiting for you
Anticipating, what can I do
You keep me waiting, I never knew that I'd still be waiting

I wish you'd realize when we can convide
Ah tell me, please tell me, you wanna know what's really here inside
Is it love there in your eyes, or is it just a lie

chorus - waiting for you

(Solo)

I see lyin' in your eyes, and now I realize that

You, you keep me waiting, waiting for you
Anticipating, think we're all through
You kept me waiting, I never knew that I'd still be waiting

You, you keep me waiting, anticipating
You kept me waiting, waiting for you

It was earlier tonight,
You didn't wanna be alone
So you put on your best jeans,
You picked up your phone
Then you called every club you knew,
To find out what's going on
As you slipped in your car,
The feeling came on strong

You had to go cruisin' (cruisin'),
You had to go cruisin' into wild times
Cruisin' (cruisin'),
Gonna ride out to the red light

You drove off in your fancy little car, you started headin' for the joy
And you got that feeling again that tonight could be so much more
You walked in looking for someone,
For something to share
When you walked in, I was already there

Cruisin' (cruisin'),
Cruisin' into wild times
I was cruisin' (cruisin'),
Gonna ride out to the red light

Can't you go any faster? - That's better

(Solo)

I think it's time, yeah
It's time we broke the ice
You know that this sort of thing,
It did already happen twice
I wanna rock, I wanna roll,
I wanna eat into your soul
Just push into the litter,
Whenever you lose control

Let's go cruisin' (cruisin'),
I wanna go cruisin' into wild times
Let's go cruisin' (cruisin'),
Gonna ride it out to the red light

Got an angel on the left hand and a devil on the right
She's gonna raise a little hell up in heaven tonight
She likes the lightning run, but she never gets burned
She's got to be the center of attention, and she's never gonna learn

She's drivin' daddy's brand new car, she's usin' mama's master charm
She acts so nonchalant, but the girl gets everything she wants

Chorus:
Livin' a charmed life, everything's workin' out right
Livin' a charmed life, you know everything's workin' out right
You know she's livin', lovin', lovin', livin' - yeah yeah

Watch her come around at midnight, flying high up in the moon
She don't care about tomorrow, 'cos she was born with a silver spoon
Everything she's got gets the boys at heart
And she's got to be the center of attention, oh the girl can't stop

She's drivin' daddy's brand new car, she's usin' mama's master charm
She acts so nonchalant, but the girl gets everything she wants

Chorus

She lives a charmed life, yes she does

Solo

She got her daddy's brand new car, she's got her mama's master charm
She acts so nonchalant, but the girl gets everything she wants

Livin' a charmed life (livin' a charmed life) everything's workin' out right
Livin' a charmed life, everything's workin' out right
You know she's livin', lovin', lovin', livin' - yeah yeah
She lives a charmed life, she lives a charmed life
