If you get lonely on your daddy's farm
Just remember I don't live too far
And there's a red bridge that arcs the bay, yeah
You'll be at my place in less that a day

So get on your bad motor scooter and ride
Up over to my place and stay all night
First thing in the morning we'll be feeling all right
So get on your bad motor scooter and ride

Ooh, the last I seen your face
I swore that no one would take your place
Now since you've been gone I've been feelin' bad, yeah
I'd come out to your place (but) I'm afraid of your dad

So you get on your bad motor scooter and ride
Up over to my place and stay all night
First thing in the morning we'll be feeling all right
So get on your bad motor scooter and ride

Ride, ride, ride
Come on baby, ooh yeah
Crank it on up
Get on your bad motor scooter

. . .


I stay up till dawn
But God knows I want to close my eyes
I'll have another smoke to relax myself
It's just another try

And I can see to the end
But it hurts, it's so far away
Stuck behind time
Alone with another day, ooh yeah

Yeah, thinking of you
Baby, I'm thinking of you

What color am I?
I don't really know, I've changed so much, yeah
And I don't usually cry
But I feel so out of touch

Oh, well I can see to the end
But it hurts, it's so far away
Stuck behind time
Alone with another day, ooh yeah

Thinking of you, oh
Thinking of you
Thinking of you

I've been thinking baby
Thinking of you
Yeah, all night long
Thinking of you

Of you, ooh yeah baby
I've been, I've been thinking of you
Thinking, thinking of you
Thinking of you

. . .


If you feel like you wanna
You wanna shake your head and shout
Call my name
You just call my name, yeah

If you feel like you wanna
You wanna knock this whole place out
Call my name
Ooh, call my name

And I'll be the one you need, yeah
I will fulfill all of your dreams
We gonna tear the whole place down, yeah
And we do it together, we gonna do it together
You just call my name, call my name

Call it, call it
Call my name
Call it, call it
Call my name

If you feel like you wanna
You wanna dance the night away
Call my name
Baby, call my name, yeah

If you feel like you wanna
You wanna make it last all day
Call my name
Ooh, call my name, yeah

And I'll be the one you need, yeah
I will fulfill everyone of your dreams
We gonna tear, tear it down, ooh yeah
And we do it together, we're gonna do it together
If you call my name, you just call my name, ooh

Call my name
Oh, call my name
Call my name
You call my name

I've read it all, it's black and white
The spectrum made a shade I like.
The crimson rays are ruby bright
Technicolor light.
Red! I want red, there's no substitute for red.
Red! Paint it red, green ain't mean compared to red.
You don't know what it does to me,
My crimson intensity
I'm haunted by the mystery,
The mystey of red.
Red knocks 'em dead,
Some like it hot, I like it read.
Red is my lover, got it covered
Red is my number, sure as a coma
Red is my drummer, and I hear red thunder
Move over brother,
Red's a motherfu...(cker)
(Red! Red!)
Thats' what I said...
(Red! Red!)
Come on to bed
(Red! Red!)
Gimme' that expensive spread..


. . .


This one way love affair ain't fair
It ain't no kind of fair to me
It's all give and take, and you just take
And I can't take it, you see

Well, I'm givin' up on love this time
Me and my friends, we'll do just fine
Because

I've done everything for you
Oh yeah, you've done nothin' for me
I've done everything for you
You've done nothin' for me
You've done nothin' for me

Yeah, you knew that someday I'd have a whole lotta money
And be a millionaire
Yeah, but when that didn't happen overnight
I found out how much you really cared

Yeah, all you want is a whole lotta money
All the rest is just jivin' honey

I've done everything for you
Aw lord, you've done nothin' for me
I've done everything for you
I've done everything, you've done nothin' for me
(You've done nothin' for me)

Now wait a minute
When I first met you, you didn't know how to hook a man
(You've done nothin')
There was so many things about makin' love you didn't understand
(You've done nothin')
Yeah, but now you know about everything
And I'm tradin' you in on a pair of wings

I've done everything for you
Yeah, yeah, you've done nothin' for me
I've done everything for you
Baby, you've done nothing for me
You've done nothing for me

Now I'm going out on the town tonight and get as wild as I can be
I'm gonna find out what it's really like to be loose, high and free
Yeah and I don't care what them people say
'Cause I'll change my mind, i'm changin' to stay

I've done everything for you
Baby, baby you've done nothin' for me
I've done everything for you
You, you've done nothin' for me
I've done everything for you
Everything, but nothin' for me
I've done everything for you
Baby, you've done nothin' for me

You've done nothin' for me
You, you've done nothin' for me
You've done nothin'
You've done nothin'
You've done nothin' for me
Zero, nothin' ow!

. . .



Head bangers in leather
Sparks fly in the dead of the night
It all comes together
When they shoot out the lights
50,000 wats of power
And it's pushin' overload
The beast is ready to devour
All the metal they can hold
Reachin' overload
Start to explode

It's your one way ticket to midnight
Call it Heavy Metal
Higher than high, feelin' just right
Call it Heavy Metal
Desperation on a red line
Call it Heavy Metal noise

Tight pants and lipstick
She's riding on razor's edge
She holds her own against the boys
Yea, cuts through the crowd just like a wedge
Ohh, can you feel the static
So many contacts being made
We've got up front fanatics
Tearing down the barricade
To reach the stage
Can you feel the rage

It's your one way ticket to midnight
Call it Heavy Metal
Higher than high, feelin' just right
Call it Heavy Metal
Desperation on a red line
Call it Heavy Metal noise

(Solo)

It's your one way ticket to midnight
Call it Heavy Metal
Higher than high, feelin' just right
Call it Heavy Metal
Desperation on a red line
Call it Heavy Metal
Higher than high, feelin' just right!
Call it Heavy Metal Noise
Heavy Metal Noise
Heavy Metal Noise
Heavy Metal Noise
Call it Heavy Metal

You do what you want to do.
I'll leave it all up to you.
In time, I'll fall in love again.
A hot love growin cold.
Just when you thought
You'd found a heart of gold.
Looks like, I've been fooled again.

Oh but it's all right, with me now
I'll get back up somehow
And with a little luck, I'm bound to win
Cause I'll fall in love
I'll fall in love again

And you're always sittin' ring side
Just a rollin' with the changing tide
The tide has washed you
From my mind.
And I guess you think
You've got it made
Oh but then you never were afraid
Of anything that you've left behind.

Oh but it's all right, with me now
Cause I'll get back up somehow
And with a little luck,
Yes I'm bound to win
Cause I'll fall in love
Yes I'll fall in love again

Yea, yea, yea
Yea, yea, yea, I'll fall in love again
I'll fall in love again baby,
I said now I'll fall in love again
Yes i'll fall in love again

Here's something to compare it to
Like the little things you used to do
Like giving more than you take.
Funny how the reasons grow
Then the very next things you know
The odds change, dividing up the cake.

Hey but it's all right, with me now
I'll get back up somehow
And with a little luck,
Yes I'm bound to win
Cause I'll fall in love
Yes it's all right, with me now
I'll fall in love again
Oh don't worry bout' me babe
I'll get along somehow
I'll fall in love again
Now it's all right, now it's all right
I'll fall in love again
(Fades)

I've heard it called by different names
All over the world, but it's all the same.
Oh There's so many ways to make love
A million ways, I've been thinking of.
Oh yea!

But there's only one way,
There's only one way to rock.
Yea!

Now, How many things can get you high
I'm gonna try em all just once before I Die.

And you can analyze this situation
To me it's all just mental masturbation
Hugh!

There's only one way,
There's only one way to rock.
There's only one way,
There's only one way to rock.

Now quickly, check the hands on the Clock
It's 8:05, it's time to rock

And this world can disagree
They don't understand how it can be.
And it's not my point of view,
It's a fact, and you know that it's true
Hugh!

Oh yeah!

There's only one way,
There's only one way to rock.
There's only one way,
There's only one way to rock.

Crank up the drums, crank out the Bass
Crank up my Les Paul in your face

Yesssss!

There's only one way,
There's only one way to rock.
There's only one way,
There's only one way to rock.
There's only one way,
There's only one way to rock.

There's only one way,
There's only one way,
There's only one way to rock.

Yeah to rock!

To Rock!

Ow! One way to rock!

I got this strange fascination
For this chick down the hall
Reliable information, yeah
Says she ain't givin' up the ball

But Friday night, I'll be checkin' it out
From the back of my van

Fast Times at Ridgemont High, uh
Havin' a ball
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Writing on the wall, wooh

Just yesterday, my friend got busted
She came home smellin' like smoke
It's such a shame when your not trusted
She only had one little toke

Yeah, the fear that you might fall
Is driving you up the wall

Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Havin' a ball, ow
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Writing on the wall

Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Havin' a ball, wooh
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Writing on the wall, yeah

Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Havin' a ball
Fast Times at Ridgemont High

. . .


I don't mind
When you act your age
It suits me fine
That you treat me like a child

And I can't deny
When I'm with you
That you step outside
Of all those fears locked up inside

Your love is driving me crazy
Your love just takes me away
Your love is driving me crazy
It takes me all the way

What I like
Is what you've got to offer
Just my type
Don't mind playing on the edge

Your love is driving me crazy
Your love just takes me away
Your love is driving me crazy
It takes me all the way, yeah

Lead me to forbidden doors
You know I'm yours
Yeah, you got it, yeah, I want it
Don't you know it baby?

Right on time
A tight fit right on the money
So sublime
Hot, sweet cherries on the vine

Your love is driving me crazy
Your love just takes me away
Your love is driving me crazy
It takes me all the way, yeah

Your love is driving me crazy
Your love just takes me away
Your love is driving me crazy
Your love just takes me away, oh yeah

Your love, your love
Your love just takes me away, oh yeah
Your love

. . .


You never hear about it
It's not the thing you talk over with friends
You never see it coming until it begins

But something stepped in between us
It's taken all of our time alone
In her heart love remains, but is seldom shown

So why does she cry herself to sleep at night?
Why do I have to work so hard to make things right?
To fall in love came naturally
To make it last is so hard, you see
I'm caught in between the two sides of love

A kiss goodbye, a kiss hello
You wonder why she get's lonely
You've got to show her, don't tell her
She's your one and only, yeah

So why does she cry herself to sleep at night?
Why do I have to work so hard to make things right?
To fall in love came naturally
To make it last is so hard, you see
I'm caught in between the two sides of love

We make promises, promises
And late at night you make big plans
Someday we'll run away and leave the love demands, yeah

So why does she cry herself to sleep at night?
Why do I have to work so hard to make things right?
To fall in love came naturally
To make it last is so hard, you see
I'm caught in between the two sides of love

Two sides of love
Two sides of love
Two sides of love
Two sides of love

. . .



One foot on the brake and one on the gas, hey!
Well, there's too much traffic, I can't pass, no!
So I tried my best illegal move
A big black and white come and crushed my groove again!

CHORUS:
Go on & write me up for 125
Post my face, wanted dead or alive
Take my license n' all that jive
I can't drive 55! Oh No! Uh!

So I signed my name on number 24, hey!
Yeah the judge said, "Boy, just one more
I'm gonna throw your ass in the city joint"
Looked me in the eye, said, "You get my point?"
I said "Yeah!, Oh yea!"

CHORUS

I can't drive 55!
Uh!

When I drive that slow, you know it's hard to steer.
And I can't get my car out of second gear.
What used to take two hours now takes all day.
Huh - It took me 16 hours to get to L.A.!

CHORUS

No, no, no, I can't drive...(I can't drive 55!)
I can't drive... (I can't drive 55!)
I can't drive 55!

Well, she'd like you to think she was
born yesterday
With her innocent looks and her little
town ways
When she's smiling at me, she's got angels
in her eyes
But I've seen how she moves and the girl
really cooks
And she's taught me some tricks that you
can't learn in books
And I'm starting to think there's a devil
there inside

Well, I'm not just a boy who believes what
he sees
But she's got a kiss, brings me down to
my knees
Over and over, I never get my fill
And she might try to talk like she's pure as
the snow
She blushes a lot, but she'll never say no
When her motor is running, this girl don't
sit still
(Chorus)
THE GIRL GETS AROUND
She knows what she likes
I got what she needs
And one of these nights
We'll both make our moves
We'll cover some ground
The girl gets around
Good God, THE GIRL GETS AROUND

Well she holds me so tight and she
whispers so sweet
But she knows all the names of the guys
on the street
She broke hundreds of hearts, but I won't
be that blind
(Chorus)


. . .


I
Watch with open eyes
Till it's time
To take it all the way, hey

Everyday
The game is ours to play
Oh, tell me why
There are no alibis

'Cause winner takes it all
Loser takes a fall
Fight to the beginning of the end

Winner takes it all
Till he breaks the fall
In time he'll make it over the top
Hey

Hey
You listen when I say
There's a dream
Oh, that's comin' true today, yeah

Never turn away
When the challenge is alive
The choice is yours to make
In every chance you take

'Cause the winner takes it all
Loser takes a fall
Fight till the beginning of the end

Winner takes it all
Till he breaks the fall
In time he'll make it over the top

First the mind
Then the soul
And when the heart
Gets pumped up for the goal

There's no defeat
You'd sooner die
It's man to man
As we stand eye to eye

Oh, winner takes it all
Loser takes a fall
Fight till the beginning of the end

Winner takes it all
Till he breaks the fall
In time he'll make it over the top

Winner takes it all
Loser takes a fall
Fight till the beginning of the end

Winner takes it all
Till he breaks the fall
In time he'll make it over the top

Winner takes it all
Loser takes a fall
Fight till the beginning of the end

. . .



Oooh--
I can see that you've got fire in your eyes
And pain inside your heart
So many things have come and torn your world apart
Oh baby, baby, baby, don't give up, don't give up
don't give up
If you want love
If you want love, you've got to give a little
If you want love
If you want faith, you just believe a little
If you want love
If you want peace, turn your cheek a little
Ohhh, you've got to give
You've got to give
You've got to give.....to live
An empty hand reaching out for someone
An empty heart takes so little to fill
It's so much easier to push instead of pull
Oh baby, baby, baby
Don't give up, don't give up, don't give up
If you want love
If you want love, you've got to give a little
If you want love
If you want faith, you just believe a little
If you want love
If you want peace, turn your cheek a little
Ohhh, you've got to give
You've got to give
You've got to give....to live
Each man's a country in his own right
Oh, every body needs a friend
One friend, one God, one country
No man need defend
I believe in fate and destination
But so much of that lies in our own hands
If you know what you want, just go on out and get it
Oh baby, baby
Don't give up, don't give up
Yeah, yeah
If you want love
If you want love, you've got to give a little
If you want love
If you want faith, you just believe a little
If you want love
If you want peace, turn your cheek a little
You want love
You've got to give
If you want love
Give to live
You've got to give to live
Give to live
Give to live
If you want love
If you want love
If you want love
You've got to give
You've got to give
You've got to give

Sunday morning 9 a.m.
I saw fire in the sky
I felt my heart pound in my chest
I heard an eagle cry
Now I'm alive I can breathe the air
Feel the wind, smell the earth in the air
I watch an eagle rise above the trees
Project myself into what he sees
Hey-
Take me away
Come on and fly me away
Take me up so high
Where eagles fly
I oftem dream I sail through the sky
I've always wished I could fly
The simple life of a bird on the wing
Oh Lord, I could sing
Take me away
Come on fly me away
Lift me up so high
Where eagles fly
Oh yeah-
I'm alive, I breathe the air
Wash the earth from my face
I catch a glimpse of another dream
I turn, I look but there's no trace
Take me away
Come on, fly me away
I wanna fly away
Pick me up so high
Where eagles fly
Oh yeah-
Eagles fly, oh, take me away
Eagles fly, oh, take me away
Come on, let's fly away where eagles fly
Come on, fly away where eagles fly


. . .


Another dream goes up in smoke, huh
And so I fire me up another toke
Yeah, I'm commin' on

I've got master plans by the dozens
A-flashin' thru my brain when I get buzzin'
Whoa, suddenly they're gone

All that inspiration runnin' through your head
Instant stimulation
Oh, you're runnin' on, whoo

You got high hopes
And they're up in smoke

Up all night, tweakin' every detail
The way I've got it, this could never fail
Hey, this could be the big one

High hopes come and go with the high
But comin' down, fade away and die
High hopes are nothin' more than a dream
They all get wasted, yeah

All that inspiration runnin' through your head
Instant stimulation
You're runnin' on, oh

You got high hopes
You're livin' on high hopes
Whoo, high hopes
Oh yeah, but they're wasted

Hey
Watch it, uh
Now listen

All that talk is gettin' nothin' done
Ain't it hard to move when your body's numb
Put it off another day

High hopes come and go with the high
And coming down, fade away and die
High hopes, they're nothin' more than a dream
They all get wasted, yeah

All that inspiration runnin' thru your head
Instant stimulation
They're givin' you, oh

You got, whoah Lord, high hopes
You're livin' on high hopes
You go high hopes
High hopes, ah yeah

High hopes
Keep livin' on high hopes
High hopes

. . .

Here we go marching to Mars
On a rainbow bridge
It doesn't seem so far
Steppin' into our universe
Moving towards life
To solve the problems on Earth
Everybody's marching to Mars
Gonna settle down there
Get me a house and a car
Save each other from ourselves
Poke our heads out of the sand
Sayin' Here I am
Marchin' to Mars
We're marchin' to Mars
Hollywood's marching to Mars
For a grand new movie
With some brand new stars
Plastered on the silver scren
Gonna bring it on home
So you won't have to leave
Is there life in the universe
Yeah, there's life in the universe
We'll find God in the universe
We'll find God but we'll find life first
Marchin' to Mars
Marchin' to Mars
We're marchin' to Mars
Marchin' to Mars


. . .



All right now, here we go ...
Now we're gonna tell you a little story
About the way we like to party - take ya on a trip!
HIT IT!
That's right
I'm goin' way down south where the big blue agave grow,
Takin' a weekend trip down to Baja, Mexico!
Where you can drink the water, but don't ya eat the ice,
Take your vitamin "T" with salt 'n lemon slice ...
I say,
One shot...Hey! Mas Tequila-
Two shots...Hey! que veneno-
Three shots...Arriba! Mas Tequila!
Hey! Hey!
She did a mean macarena to the funky cold medina
Behind a body shot and three margaritas.
She'll drink it straight from the bottle, terra cotta jug,
From a boda bag coppin' a major buzz.
I say,
One shot...Hey! Mas Tequila-
Two shots...Hey! que veneno-
Three shots...Arriba! Mas Tequila!
Hey! Hey!
Uno mas, bartender...one more...mas tequila!
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
Yo can drink the water, but don't ya eat the ice;
Take your vitamin "T" with salt 'n lemon slice!
I say,
One shot...Hey! Mas Tequila-
Two shots...Hey! que veneno-
Three shots...Arriba! Mas Tequila!
Hey! Hey!
One shot...Hey! more tequila!
Two shots...Hey! que veneno!
Three shots...Ay yi yi yi yi ...
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Mas Tequila!
No mas, no mas ....
