Now everybody, have you heard
If you're in the game, then the stroke's the word
Don't take no rhythm, don't take no style
Got a thirst for killin' - grab your vial...
Put your right hand out, give a firm handshake
Talk to me about that one big break
Spread your ear pollution both far and wide
Keep your contributions by your side and ...
Stroke me, stroke me
Could be a winner boy, you move quite well
Stroke me, stroke me
Stroke me, stroke me
You got your number down
Say you're a winner but man you're just a sinner now
Put your left foot out, keep it all in place
Work your way right into my face
First you try to bed me, you make my backbone slide
But when you find you bled me, skip on by...
Stroke me, stroke me
Give me the business all night long...
Stroke me, stroke me
Stroke me, stroke me
You're so together boy...
Say you're a winner but man you're just a sinner now
Better listen now, said it ain't no joke
Let your conscience fail ya, just do the stroke
Don't ya take no chances, keep your eye on top
Do your fancy dances, you can't stop you just
Stroke me, stroke me...
Life isn't easy from the singular side,
Down in the hole some emotions are hard to hide.
It's your decision -- it's a chance that you take
It's on your head -- it's a habit that's hard to break.
Do you need a friend -- would you tell no lies?
Would you take me in -- are you lonely in the dark?
You never listen to the voices inside,
They fil your ears as you run to a place to hide,
You're never sure if the illusion is real,
You pinch yourself but the mem'ries are all you feel
Can you break away from your alibis
Can you make a play-- will you meet me in the dark?
Don'tcha need me, hey, hey...
Don'tcha need me, oh yeah..
Don'tcha need me, hey, hey...
Don'tcha need me, oh yeah..
You take no int'rest -- no opinion's too dear
You make the rounds and you try to be so sincere
You guard your hopes and you pocket your dreams
You'd trade it all to avoid an unpleasant scene
Can you face the fire when you see me there
Can you feel the fire--will you love me in the dark.
You got me runnin' baby -
You give me somethin' way beyond revenue
You put the magic in me -
I feel the magic when we do what we do
And oh...
I can't do without you for too long... you're my situation
You're my kinda lover...
You keep me all together -
You take me out whenever I'm lettin' down
You got the motions baby -
I got a notion maybe I'll stick around
And oh...
I can never doubt you for too long... I can't see no reason -
You're my kinda lover...
When you come 'round I never get down -
I fly across the floor
I can see you comin' on me...
And I can't ask for more
Rock me - sock me - baby you got me ridin' to the end
Rake me - shake me - baby you make me - turn me on again
You got my motor racin' -
I find my thoughts embracin' your every move
I wanna set you reelin' -
I wanna make you feel the way that I do
And oh...
I been thinkin' 'bout you for so long... I don't wanna lose ya -
You're my kinda lover...
Bend your back by the light o' the sun
You come to the business - you're the number one
When twilight comes you're a runner in the night
It turns you on like a hot tail-light
Get down - you really get down - you never let down
Come down - you never come down - you never come down
Emotions in motion
Back street boy gonna sell you some sin
He'll wind you up - he gonna suck you in
The blood say yes - the mind say no
The voice in your ear say you go - go - go
Run down - you really run down - you really run down
Cool down - you never cool down - you better cool down
Emotions in motion
Give yourself to a life of extremes
You're into the action - it's a part of your dream
Now there're some things you never can tell
But when the door lies open throw your coins in the well
Get down - you really get down - you really get down
Right now - you want it right now - hold tight now
Emotions in motion
You see 'em comin' at you every night
Strung on pretension, they fall for you at first sight
You know their business, you think it's a bore
They make you restless, it's nothin' you ain't seen before
Get around town, spend your time on the run
You never let down, say you do it for fun
Never miss a play, though you make quite a few
You give it all away - everybody wants you
You crave attention, you can never say "no"
Throw your affections any way the wind blows
You always make it, you're on top of the scene
You sell the copy like the cover of a magazine
Puttin' on the eyes 'til there's nobody else
You never realize what you do to yourself
The things that they see make the daily reviews
You never get free - everybody wants you
Everybody knows you
Everybody snows you
Everybody needs you, leads you, bleeds you
Nights of confusion and impossible dreams
Days at the mirror, patchin' up around the seams
You got your glory, you paid for it all
You take your pension in loneliness and alcohol
Say goodbye to conventional ways
You can't escape the hours, you lose Trackof the days
The more you understand, seems the more like you do
You never get away - everybody wants you
Take my soul to the lost-and-found
Girl she made me a hand-me-down
Never know when she'll come around or what I'll see
No resistance - it's hardly fair
Call my name, honey - I'll be there
I'll give in to you anywhere - so foolishly
I could never ever lie to you
I could never even try
I just wanna be beside you
Sweet emotion'll pass you by
Girl she left me alone to cry
I still remember how she could make love to me
You see the traces - they always show
Some may come and some may go
But one of us will never know what you see
Never wanted to rely on you
Never wanted you to try
I just wanna be beside you
She's a runner... anyone can see
She's a runner... she run all over me
She's a runner... you can't walk away
She's a runner... she can make you stay
I need to listen to my advice
The aggravation ain't worth the price
I can tell ya she won't think twice
She gonna knock down, put ya down... ooh yeah
She's a runner... anyone can see
She's a runner... she tore it outa me
She's a runner... watch her walk away
She's a runner... you can't make her stay
I'm rockin' tonite - I'm walkin' on air
Gonna find me some trouble - gonna grab my share
I want ya tonite - I want ya with me
Make me guilty of love in the first degree
You want it all right... we're goin' in style
Say you walk right - you talk right - and your hair's so wild
Snow-white - hey that's not what I mean
We go down in the shadows and crawl between
Moonlight in the city brings the magic to your eyes
Freezin' a moment - leave me paralyzed
Breathe an emotion - set it dancin' in my ear
Bring on the rhythm when I hold you near
Take me in your arms - roll me through the night
Take me to your heart - rock me tonite
You do it all right - you're passion to see
You been schooled in the art of romancin' me
Hold tight - you're in for a ride
Can you feel the blood poundin' way down inside
No one's stoppin' us now -
We go down, down where the music's loud
If it's all night - hey that's all right by me
Go and play on my love - play it all for me
Life's never easy - we can make it if we try
Takin' our chances - face 'em side by side
Live for the moment - on that we can agree
Come and take me where I long to be
Chorus
A time for all... and all in time
To slip beyond the border line
Of who we are and where we long to be...
When every night you hear the sound
Of wakin' up and breakin' down
You find a chance and heave it all away
I get up -
I run through the world like a fire
Heat it up -
I swim in the flames of desire
Chase it if you care - take it if you dare -
It's there in the air...
Answer to the gun - dance in the sun -
Run boy run...
Run for your life - you're movin' on and on
The art of survival is turnin' me on
And I'll be chasin' it all night long
(Don'tcha wanna live)
I get out -
I roam through the streets like a tiger
Let it out -
I swing like a bird on a wire
Everywhere you go everybody knows -
Oh don'tcha know...
Everythin' you do - anybody new -
They're all on to you...
Fight for your life - turn it all round
The art of survival isn't gettin' me down
And I'll be chasin' it all night long
(Don'tcha wanna live)
I watch you on the TV - you're with me every place I go
I'm caught up in the daydream - I'm into everyone you know
Turn on the action - grab every minute
Learn every lesson - then live to regret it
I'm so distracted - my mind's disengaged
Sharin' the moments when you're all the rage
I got my eyes on you
Got my eye on you...
Those overnight conditions always get the best of you
You're fuelin' my suspicions - I'm taken by the sneak preview
You got the numbers - you got no limits
One day you're out but the next day you're in it
You find the answers - you know what to say
Give us our reason for livin' today
Chorus
We share the laughter and pain when you're in it
Bring on disaster - cause we know you'll win it
We're all believers - so watch what you say
Turn on those feelin's - I can't look away
There is a course in life... so all the teachers say
It calls you day and night... it takes your thoughts away
Under a frozen light you face a long crusade
When there's a cause you fight... where there's a cost you pay
Find an empty heart... you feel the passion play
It's when reactions start that you can't look away
There is no wrong or right - there's just your point of view
But when you face the light then it will come to you
Love is the hero... soldier forever
Life below zero... Never say never
There is no sacrifice... there is no dead-end street
There is no sound advice... only the watch you keep
With every step you take through every room of fear
With every move you make the song will pull you near
Turn your world around and it will come your way
Through your cold-chill nights and in your hard-earned days
When you face the light it may be hard to do
But when it's all too right then it will come to you
Love is the hero... soldier forever
Life below zero... you live to remember
No path is too steep... no distance too wide
No question too deep... no force can divide
Your fortune you seek... the road will unwind
You're comin' to me... to search is to find
And when you start to fall into that frozen space
And when you reach the wall and there's no sunny place
And when it all comes down you make it anyhow... anyway
Over and over - wanderin' through the years
Life is a diamond - love is a trail of tears
Sometimes I want you - sometimes I want to fly
I know when I find you
No one can stop me now - break you
Don't let me go - don't let me
Watchin' the seasons - can't let you pass me by
Turnin' the pages - why do we have to lie
You are the reason - yours are the final eyes
And when I hold you
No one can touch me now - break through
Don't let me go - don't let me
Never wanna say goodbye - never wanna make you cry
Never wanna see you go
Now every time I close my eyes
You're the one who makes me realize
She... walks into your life so effortlessly
Makes you swallow... she go down
She make you look - she's trouble boy, oh yeah
She'll take your life into her hands, oh yeah
She goes down - she never gets enough
She goes down - she never gives it up
She... laughs at all the things you pretend to be
You're a gone boy... she's the one
She got the look - she's soul attraction
She'll lead you out across the line
She got the love that comes in colors
She got the touch that's hard to find
She wrote the book - spells trouble boy, oh yeah
Run for life - she'll make your plans, oh yeah
She goes down - she never gets enough
She goes down - she'll never give it up
Cause she makes you... she go down
Say she'll take you... she go down
She acts out all your dreams
She'll be your fantasy
You're a schoolboy in her arms and
She'll teach you
She got the love that comes in colors
She got the touch that's hard to find
She got the gun - she's got the power
She'll shoot it up do you dare to try
She makes you... she go down
And she'll break you... stick around
She goes down - she never gets enough
She goes down - she'll never let you up
And she'll take you... she goes down
And she'll make you... she goes down
In the heart of the night you come on like fire
In the light of dawn leave me cold and tired
When you think of love tell me what you see
And when you dream, do ya dream of me
Feel the passion deep inside
It's in your blood and you just can't hide
You want some lovin' but your heart's tied up
Try to run but you can't say stop
Hold me baby - take me higher
Take a chance - set your world on fire
You want some lovin' but your heart's tied up
Now the truth is out - honey can't you see
I'm tied to you and you belong to me
But when we get too close I feel you push away
Nothin' I do's gonna make you stay
Tears are clashin' - worlds collide
You won't let go and you don't know why
You want some lovin' but your heart's tied up
Gimme fever - you burn me hot
Touch me baby - walk the wire
Tell me 'No' - then your heart's a liar
You need some lovin' but your heart's tied up
Try to run but you can't say stop
Hold me baby - take me higher
Take a chance - set your world on fire
You need some lovin' but your heart's tied up
Hold me baby - take me higher
Touch me baby - walk the wire
Roll me darlin' - light my fire
Spread your wings and love somebody
These are the golden years
When people do what they want
And you can be one of them
'Cause you're old enough to burn
So you earn your star - you run from the pack
Sell the clothes from off of your back
And you'll go far - you'll never look back
Your dreams can never die
Welcome to the facts of life
Life on the edge of town...
No one could get near you
But one day you call to them
When they find you where it hurts
You can fall so far you never come up
All you've got is never enough
And just one word can make it so tough
Your dreams were not so wise
You're runnin' through the facts of life
Oh you're runnin' from the facts of life
Oh you're runnin' from the facts of life
Oh you're runnin' from the facts of life
Oh you're runnin' from the facts of life
The first time I saw you
You were untouchable
You walked on the poet's heels
No one could deny you
Now you're lookin' for better things
Someone to get close to
A song everybody knows
When you find out what it's worth
And you come so far you'll never turn back
The stones they throw - they roll off your back
They make it hard - you like it like that
Your dreams will never die
When you go so far you'll never turn back
The stones they throw - you throw 'em right back
They play so hard - you like it like that
Our dreams become our lives
No more runnin' from the facts of life
No more runnin' from the facts of life
No more runnin' from the facts of life
No more runnin'
No more runnin'
No more runnin' from the facts of life
L-O-... whaddo I know
V-E-... she's not comin' back to me
L-O-... I can't let go
V-E-... tell ya what that girl don't mean to me
So you see my friend... love is just a four letter word
Once there were schoolyards with children at play
Once there was England... and one sunny day
One kinda woman for one kinda man
How could I know I was not in her plans
Say love... say love...
When I was soarin' you urged me to fly
When I was hungry you fed me your lines
Led me to water... you sang me your song
One day when I woke up I found you were gone
Say love... say love...
Say love... say love...
Nobody told me... love is just a four letter word
L is for losin' the love that you crave
And O is when it's over and your heart can't explain
V is for the victim... the victim of the crime and
E is every morning when you break down on time
So you see my friend... love is just a four letter word
L-O-... I can't let go
V-E-... friends all say just let it be
L-O-... oo-oo
V-E-...
Forget your illusions... forget what they say
'Cause all your dreams of happiness have just blown away
Once in a lifetime your spirit will fly
That's what she told me 'fore she told me goodbye
Love... say love
Love... say love
So you see my friend... love is just a four letter word
L is for losers when fortune turns blue
And O is overcomin' what you know to be true
V is for the vengeance that's left out in the rain and
E is each and every night you crumble in pain
So you see my friend... love is just a four letter word
So you see my friend...
I say "STOP - DON'T SAY IT"
So you see my friend... love is just a four letter word
L-O-... whaddo I know
V-E-... she's not comin' back to me
L-O-... I can't let go
V-E-... tell ya what that girl don't mean to me
