And I never think you'll get it
Tonight you're doing something
This fix is more important than you are

Hooking in the streets
Don't you have somewhere to go
This is more important than you are

Girl, can this summer turn you on
When you walk inside yourself
And feel the moon has let you down

Remember when the heat could
Knock you off your feet
I remember when the streets would
Still be good to me

Girl, where were you on that perfect day
When hearts were handed out
And young girls
Found pretty lover boys

Come on
Make it right



. . .


Changing your strut when you know I’m behind you
Changing your ways cause you don’t know what to do
I only wanna tell you
How I feel inside
If only you could listen
Try to change your mind

So I walk right up to you
And you walk all over me
And I ask you what you want
And you tell me what I need
Can’t you feel it all come down
Can’t your hear it all around
At the place where lost is found
That great love sound

Talking to you makes me wanna shake and shout
Touching you makes me wanna come right out
You could never want me the same way I want you
I’m love tornado struck
I don’t know what to do

So I walk right up to you
And you walk all over me
And I ask you what you want
And you tell me what I need
Can’t you feel it all come down
Can’t your hear it all around
At the place where lost is found
That great love sound

Can't you feel it all come down
Can't you hear it all around
At the place where lost is found
That great love sound

. . .


Chewin' on a whip your little dress is tight
Gonna make me burn gonna make it right
Tell your little stories and I'll never hope
That I'll end up right beside you when it comes
I'll gonna make it good this hour
Make it true

Dancing on the stairs I'll never get back home
Gonna laugh and smile gonna make me moan
Do your little things and then remember why
You chose me instead of someone else
Why don't you start right now I know you
Won't regret


. . .


Here comes the love gang
Here comes the love gang
Two delinquents in love
Yeah their love just won't stop
The pack is on the prowl
Get out of their way tonight

Here comes the love gang

Chains black leather and sex
Yeah it's not that complex
The pack is on the prowl
Watch out don't get close tonight

Lovers you can hear their hearts beat
It echoes in the towns where lovers go

Here come the love gang


. . .


LET’S RAVE ON CAUSE I KNOW THAT YOU WANT IT
LET’S MAKE OUT CAUSE I KNOW THAT YOU WANT IT
LET’S GO DOWN WHERE THE HEARTS ARE ALL BROKEN
FIX ‘EM ALL IN TIME
FIX ‘EM ALL IN TIME

LET’S GO OUT AND MAKE IT HAPPEN
LET’S GO OUT AND MEET SOME STRANGERS
LET’S GO DOWN WHERE THE BROKEN HEARTED
TRYING TO MAKE IT RIGHT
TRYING TO MAKE IT RIGHT

KNOW MY HEART’S BLACK
CAUSE I GOTTA GO (repeat)

LET’S GO OUT AND MAKE SOME TROUBLE
LET’S RAVE ON AND MAKE SOME TROUBLE
LET’S GO OUT WITH THE BROKEN HEARTED
MAKE ‘EM FEEL ALRIGHT
MAKE ‘EM FEEL ALRIGHT

KNOW MY HEART’S BLACK
CAUSE I GOTTA GO (repeat)

. . .


Jimmy says that sex don't sell
Jimmy says that sex don't sell
I think he's just oh well
Yeah

You know you feel it every time
You stare at her and she look so fine
You stare at him but he's all mine
Yeah

Yeah gonna make it go away

Dirty eyes will make you dream
Sado Sue will make you scream
Transi Troy will make you mean
Yeah


. . .


If you were me and all you could think of
Was to die in your arms tonight
How would you tell me and how would you hurt me
When hearts are not chained at first sight
Here I go not even surprised
When love is gone like something you stole
It takes a little time of getting used to
But love can destroy everything

I vaguely remember something you told me
When I took a shot at your heart
You said you could never die for someone
Who tore all your dreams apart
Here I go not even surprised
When love is gone like something you stole
It takes a little time of getting used to
But love can destroy everything

It takes a little time of getting used to
But love can destroy everything
Yeah love can destroy everything


. . .


Take a little time to get to know me
The night is open don't you feel the same as I
Cause I can do everything
A heartbreak stroll with someone special
The L.A lights will never be the same
Tonight I kill those memories

Get it all now cause I'm on the prowl
Come on baby right now
Get it all straight cause you're whistle bait
Come on baby right now

Feel the earth move when you're shaking that thing
Hard to be around when you've got nothing to gain
I gotta go home and sleep it off


. . .


My girl is a little animal
She always wants to fuck
I can't find the reason why
I guess it's just my luck

So at night when she's sound asleep
I head out in the rain to meet

All the things she never gave
To me when I was down
All the things I had to find
With strangers in strange towns

But at night when she's curled up next to me
I head out for the devil to meet


. . .


You came into my town
You came and you fell down
Sweet summer all around
Can you feel it going down down again

Spend some time with you
Don't care what you wanna do
I wanna find some words to say
Come on and make me stay

Come on and do your thing
Come on and make it go
Sometimes it feels like rain
All the time it feels like pain
Time


. . .


Walk away nothing to do
I forgot what doing time can do
I'm on the chain gang
The chain gang of love
Wasting my time
I'm just a prisoner of love

I'm a jailbird baby
Wasting my time
At first feeling blue
Then feeling fine
I'm serving time for something I can't do
They call it a crime
Cause i'm not in love with you

I'm a jailbird baby
Cause i'm not in love with you


. . .


Johnny where you been
Johnny where you been

Can't say the night was long
And girls were out oh fun
That's when I caught a glimpse of you
Across the street black leather boots

That's when I learned
With cigarette in mouth
Dating prostitutes
Was alright now
That's when I came
To realise
I've been dead for so long
What a surprise
Johnny


. . .


And New York was great and we loved it all
And New York was great and we loved it all
But time was riding fast upon my shoulders
What a shame

The night time was painted black with fun
The night time was painted black with fun
But all the time the light shone through it all
What a drag

And in bars drunk we knew it all
And in bars drunk we knew it all
And promises we spilled out in the night
What a trip

And the stars we plucked from great black skies
And the stars we plucked from New York skies
We placed them all in front of us and laughed
What a trip
