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

Buying My Way Into Heaven

[No lyrics]

. . .



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!

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

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

Her love is red hot when she comes undone
Never thought gettin' burned could be so much fun
Always comin' up with something new
Yea, that woman taught me a thing or two
She's on fire
My baby's on fire
We go out driving in my 6.6 yea
Bypass the city head straight for the sticks
Shut off the lights
Turn off the key
No sooner set the brake she jumps on top of me
She's on fire
My baby's on fire
Now let it burn
Ohhh yea
I like it hot
She's on fire
My baby's on fire
No time for friends, no time for rest
Straight home from school, she starts to get undressed
It's five below but it's hot down here
I get so hot every time she comes near
Turned on to love like it's the latest style
I get a response from just a look with a smile
She's like a bomb that's about to explode
Just on touch and she begins to unload
She's on fire
My baby's on fire
She takes me higher
My baby's on fire
She's on fire
My baby's on fire
She's on fire
My baby's on fire
Oh, now let it burn

Suckers walk, money talks!
But it can't touch my three lock box.
Uh! Oh, yeah!
Mysteries of the days of old.
You find the key, you got the gold.
One, two, three lock box.
One, two, three lock box.
One, two, three lock box.
One, two, three lock box.
Treasure's here, sunken there.
Buried treasure's everywhere.
One, two, three lock box.
One, two, three lock box.
Don't go far, circle close.
The father, son, the holy ghost.
To the trinity, I raise a toast!
Ahh, yea!
One, two, three lock box.
One, two, three lock box.
One, two, three lock box.
One, two, three lock box.
Secrets of the trinity lie within the number three.
Uh!
Hey!
One, two, three lock box.
One, two, three lock box.
One, two, three lock box.
One, two, three lock box.
(Three Lock Box)
One, two, three lock box.
One, two, three lock box.
(Three Lock Box)
One, two, three lock box.
One, two, three lock box.

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!

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

Her look is evil satisfaction.
She likes to see me on my knees.
Yea, but just to touch the main attraction.
Well, I can put up with the tease.
I don't need love.
You know what I'm thinkin' of.
I can't get enough, no.
I don't need love.
Uh!
There's something crazy goin' down here.
She's tryin' to save it, now, you can bet.
I've never had my hands and face so full of love.
And never got to get wet, no!
I don't need love.
You know what I'm thinkin' of.
I can't get enough.
I don't need love.
I don't really know what love is.
Hey, I'm just lookin' for some sex, yea!
I don't need love.
You know what I'm thinkin' of.
I can't get enough, no.
I don't need love.
You know what I'm thinkin' of.
I can't get enough, no.
I don't need love.
I don't need love.
