(Clark/Savage/Lange/Elliott)

Hold onto your hat, hold onto your heart 
Ready, get set to tear this place apart 
Don't need a ticket, only place in town 
That'll take you up to heaven and never bring you down 
Anything goes! Anything goes! 

Women to the left, Women to the right 
There to entertain and take you thru the night 
So grab a little heat and come along with me 
'Cause your mama don't mind what your mama don't see 
Anything goes! Anything goes! 

Rock! Rock! till you drop 
Rock! Rock! never stop 
Rock! Rock! till you drop 
I say Rock! Rock! to the top 

Ridin' into danger, laughin' all the way 
Fast, free and easy, livin' for today 
Gotta lip service, get it while you can 
Hot, sweat 'n' nervous love on demand 
Anything goes! Anything goes! 

Rock! Rock! Give it to me 
It's what I got goin' thru' me 
Don't ever stop do it to me 
Yeah, Rock! Rock! You really move me 

Hold on, hold on, hold tight 
We're gonna rock tonight 
Too loud man, too loud

. . .


(Clark/Willis/Savage/Elliott/Lange)

Huh! 
I'm outa luck, outa love 
Gotta photograph, picture of 
Passion killer, you're too much 
You're the only one I wanna touch 
I see your face every time I dream 
On every page, every magazine 
So wild so free so far from me 
You're all I want, my fantasy 

Oh, look what you've done to this rock 'n' roll clown 
Oh Oh, look what you've done 

Photograph - I don't want your 
Photograph - I don't need your 
Photograph - All I've got is a photograph 
But it's not enough 

I'd be your lover, if you were there 
Put your hurt on me, if you dare 
Such a woman, you got style 
You make every man feel like a child 
You got some kinda hold on me 
You're all wrapped up in mystery 
So wild so free so far from me 
You're all I want, my fantasy 

Oh, Look what you've done to this rock'n'roll clown 
Oh Oh, Look what you've done 

Repeat chorus 

You've gone straight to my head

. . .


(Savage/Elliott/Lange)

I said Welcome to my show 
It's just a-you and me baby 
We got the whole damn night to go 

You're holding out on me, while I'm on fire 
If you can't stand the heat, then you should try 
Victim of my vices, you know you are 
You skate on ice to paradise, stairway to the stars 

Stagefright all night, won't you let go 
All night Stagefright, on with the show 

You come on like a lady dressed to kill 
Never thought you could be caught, but you will 
A Little understanding, a little love 
A headline act around the back, is what I'm thinkin' of 

Stagefright All night, Won't you let go 
All night Stagefright, On with the show 
Stagefright All night, You're dream starts today 
All night Stagefright, is only a heartbeat away 

You're going for my head, you're going down 
Gettin' good at being bad, you're hangin' round 
A fun inspired asylum, toys for the boys 
Love on the rocks, forget-me-nots, you got no change

. . .


(Clark/Lange/Willis/Savage/Elliott)

Somewhere in the distance I hear the bells ring 
Darkness settles on the town as the children start to sing 
The lady 'cross the street she shuts out the night 
There's a cast of thousands waiting as she turns out the light 

But it's too late, too late, too late 
Too late for love 
Yes it's too late too late, too late 
Too late for love 

London boys are staring as the girls go hand in hand 
With a pocket full of innocence, their entrance is grand 
And the Queen of the dream stands before them all 
She stretches out her hand as the curtains start to fall 

Standing by the trapdoor aware of me and you 
Are the actor and the clown their waiting for their cue 
And there's a lady over there she's acting pretty cool 
But when it comes to playing life she's always playin' the fool 

. . .


(Lange/Clark/Savage/Elliott)

Shotgun 
Let's welcome home the soldier boy from (Far away, far away) 
No angel of mercy just a need to destroy (Fire away, fire away) 
Let's toast the hero with blood in his eyes 
The scars on his mind took so many lives 
Die Hard the Hunter 

Welcome home soldier boy 
Put down your pistol, yeah, put down your toy 
Yeah, they can take your gun away from you 
But never take away your attitude 
They can't do that, no, they can't do that 

You got no enemy, no front line 
The only battles in the back of your mind 
You don't know how to change from bad to good 
You brought the war to your neighbourhood 

Back in the city, he's a man on the loose 
He is the shadow that's following you 
He takes no prisoners when he's hunting for game 
He's got a bullet and it carries your name 

(Die hard) Caught in a trap 
(Hunter) There's no lookin' back 
(Die hard) He hides in the crowd 
(Hunter) Die Hard and Proud

. . .


(Clark/Lange/Elliott)

Lady luck never smiles 
So lend your love to me, awhile 
Do with me what you will 
Break the spell take your fill 

On and on we rode the storm 
The flame has died, the fire has gone 
Oh, this empty bed is a night alone 
I realized that long ago 

Is anybody out there? Anybody there? 
Does anybody wonder? Anybody care? 

Oh, I just gotta know 
If you're really there and you really care 
'Cause baby I'm not 

F-F-F-Foolin', Ah F-F-Foolin' 
Not F-F-F-Foolin', Ah F-F-Foolin' 

Won't you stay with me awhile 

close your eyes don't run and hide 
Easy love is no easy ride 
Just wakin' up from what we had 
Could stop good love from going bad

. . .


(Clark/Lange/Elliott)

Gunter glieben glauchen globen 
All right 
I got something to say 
Yeah, it's better to burn out 
Yeah, than fade away 
All right 
Ow Gonna start a fire 
C'mon! 
Rise up! gather round 
Rock this place to the ground 
Burn it up let's go for broke 
Watch the night go up in smoke 

Rock on! Rock on! 

Drive me crazier, no serenade 
No fire brigade, just Pyromania 

What do you want? What do you want? 
I want rock'n'roll, yes I do 
Long live rock'n'roll 

Oh let's go, let's strike a light 
We're gonna blow like dynamite 
I don't care if it takes all night 
Gonna set this town alight 

What do you want? What do you want? 
I want rock'n'roll, Allright! 
Long live rock'n'roll 

Rock of ages, rock of ages 
Still rollin', keep a-rollin' 
Rock of ages, rock of ages 
Still rollin', rock'n'rollin' 

We got the power, got the glory 
Just say you need it and if you need it 
Say yeah! 

Heh heh heh heh 
Now listen to me 
I'm Burnin', Burnin', I got the fever 
I know for sure, there ain't no cure 
So feel it, don't fight it, go with the flow 
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme one more for the road 

What do you want? What do you want? 
I want rock'n'roll, You betcha 
Long live rock'n'roll 

Repeat Chorus 

We're gonna burn this damn place down 
Down to the ground 

Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh

(Lange/Clark/Willis/Elliott)

Your kind of woman gotta heart of stone 
But watch it break when I get you alone 
Take a chance, come lay down with me 
Oh, I wanna make it 

Slow and steady never lost the race 
Don't stop runnin', I'm a fool for the chase 
Play the game, surrender to me 
Baby, I don't wanna fake it 

Is it any wonder, you got me comin' under fire? 
Comin' like thunder, you know you make me walk the wire 

It's so easy to put on a show 
Your body says yes but you won't let it go 
But my passion it won't slip away 

You got me, I'm cornered, my back to the wall 
No bed of roses, ain't no bed at all 
I'm walkin' the wire, I stumble and fall 
I got the message but I ain't gonna crawl

. . .


(Lange/Clark/Elliott)

I'm sick and tired of the damn TV 
I'm gonna make my own movie 
I wanna star in a late night show 
And all I need is my video 

Shock me! Make it electric! 
Shock me! Make it last 

Curtain up let the camera roll 
It's automatic it's in control 
Got no script baby, ain't no lines 
Just me and you and a real good time 

Oh Shock me! Make it electric 
Shock me! Make it last 
Shock me! Gimme thunder'n'lightning 
Shock me! Ooh babe I need it fast 

Cause All I want is some 
Action, Action, Action, not words 
Gimme Action, Action, Action not words 

C'mon and shock me, Let the cameras roll! 

Oh! I'll be the hero, you be the star 
With your wine and your caviar 
No audition, a starring roll 
I'll be your Bogart 'n' you be Monroe yeah 

Shock me! Make it electric 
Shock me! Oh bump and grind 
Shock me! Make a night to remember 
Shock me! Do it one more time 

So cut me in on the action 

Lights, camera, sound, I need action! 

Repeat Chorus 

. . .


(Clark/Savage/Willis/Elliott/Lange)

Billy's got a gun, he's on the run 
Confusion in his mind, the blind leads the blind 
Oh, Billy's got a gun, he's gonna shoot ya down 
He's got evil in his eyes, got a reason to despise 
There's danger in the air 

Can you feel it in the air? 
Danger (Such a strange emotion) 
Can you feel it in the air? 

Oh he was locked inside a room without a door 
His innocence he suffered for 
In a world of black and white, they were wrong and he was right 
Just looking for a clue, it's a nightmare come true 
He's going underground to track that danger down 
Oh Billy, why you got that gun? 

Never give him an even break 
Gettin' caught is the chance you take 
It could be your last mistake 
(You could be so helpless) 
As a bird with a broken wing 
Like a sheep in a lion's den 
Gonna fall but you won't know when 

You hear footsteps in the night, see shadows on the wall 
And the ghastly sound of silence, as the mist begins to fall 
Then a scream rang out like thunder, but the lightning was too late 

As the rain came down on the crimson ground 
It was the hand of fate 
And a crowd of people gathered round, but Billy couldn't wait
