Up here on this tightrope Tryin' not to fall The spotlight is on me tonight I wanna have it all Feelin' stronger I'm a wild beast in my prime I need to feed my appetite I've got to make you mine And you can't fight this obsession It's a dam that's bound to break I was born with this aggression There is no escape 'Cause I'm ready to strike Cocked and loaded tonight I'm ready to strike I've got you in my sight I'm ready I've got these primal instincts These animal desires And I know that you know The kind of urges you inspire It's a hunger I'm a raging carnivore As soon as I devour you I'm ravenous for more And I'll give you private lessons On survival in the wild Leave some permanent impression Make a woman of a child And I'm ready to strike Cocked and loaded tonight I'm ready to strike I've got you in my sight I'm wild, I'm an animal I need to feed my appetite I'm waiting and ready to strike I'm ready to strike Cocked and loaded tonight I'm ready to strike Cocked and loaded tonight Ready, ready, ready Ready to strike Ready, ready, ready Ready to strike

When I see what I want, I'm gonna take it If it's against some law, you can bet I'm gonna break it My need to feed gives me the will to survive I gotta find it fast to keep me alive I can't believe my Hunger I want it so bad, I can taste it It drives me mad to see it wasted When I need it so bad that it's burnin' me I'm hungry I'd do anything to get it And feel no regret But time is runnin' out I ain't found it yet I can't believe my Hunger I want it so bad, I can taste it It drives me mad to see it wasted When I need it so bad that it's burnin' me I'm hungry Hunger I want it so bad, I can taste it It drives me mad to see it wasted When I need it so bad that it's burnin' me It's burnin' me It's burnin' me It's burnin', it's burnin' me, it's burnin' me It's burnin' me (Burnin' me) (It's burnin' me)

Midnight is my time I'm the shadow rider I come from the other side I'm the shadow rider Dark shadows and shiftin' eyes There ain't no trust on the street Broken windows and alibis You can feel the tension in the August heat I hear the call from the firin' line I hear the sound of the bell When there's some action, I make it mine And I do it well Midnight is my time I'm the shadow rider I come from the other side I'm the shadow rider (Shadow) I'm lookin' for danger signs Don't let me catch you out of line Midnight is the time For the shadow rider Every night is another scene And I'm a part of it all Life is more than a magazine 'Cause the harder you run, the harder you fall A chain reaction of dominoes If your back's to the wall (Midnight is my time) I'll stand beside you and take the blows I'll catch you if you fall Midnight is my time I'm the shadow rider I come from the other side I'm the shadow rider A chain reaction of dominoes If your back's to the wall I'll stand beside you and take the blows I'll catch you if you fall Midnight is my time I'm the shadow rider I come from the other side I'm the shadow rider I'm lookin' for danger signs Don't let me catch you out of line Midnight is my time I'm the shadow rider

I sit alone and look into my eyes Wonder who it is I see Listen to the voices on the radio Everyone I've tried to be All my life I've always wanted to be known The way to find my happiness I'm just tryin' to prove to someone I'm myself This is me, I must confess Breakin' out I'm singin' it from the heart Breakin' out Bustin' out I'm bustin' out of this empty shell Breakin' out So I moved and made my home another place The city lights where I'd be seen People say I'm takin' chances with my life There's nothin' else I want to be Breakin' out And I'm singin' it from the heart Breakin' out, whoa Bustin' out I'm bustin' out of this empty shell Breakin' out Breakin' out Breakin' out Breakin' out And I'm singin' it from the heart Breakin' out, oh Bustin' out I'm bustin' out of my empty shell Breakin'... Breakin' out You know I'm singin' it from the heart Breakin' out, oh Bustin' out I'm bustin' out of this empty shell Breakin' out Oh, Lord I'm comin' out Out

The sound of thunder crashed down the alleyway Who can remember the last time it rained? As you pushed through the crowd Into the mean streets of town There was something I needed to explain You accuse me of having a heart that was made of stone I'm hard on the outside, that's how I survive But, baby, deep in my soul Is where you had complete control But you'll never see a teardrop in my eye Don't ask why 'Cause we all know that tough guys don't cry The world's greatest lie Is that all of us tough guys don't cry It's 3:37, just me and my empty glass My vision is blurry, it's so hard to see Was I really so blind? Was I out of my mind? Oh, you'll never hear my apology Don't ask why 'Cause we all know that tough guys don't cry The world's greatest lie Is that all of us tough guys don't cry I'm a tough guy on the outside Oh, oh, yeah And I'm cryin' on the inside Hear me cry Don't ask why 'Cause we all know that tough guys don't cry The world's greatest lie Is that all of us tough guys don't cry You know all of us tough guys don't cry Yes, we all know that tough guys don't cry Yeah Yes, we all know that tough guys don't cry Yeah Yes, we all know that tough guys don't cry

Full moon in July As I remember, it was an ordinary night Feelin' good and ridin' high I saw you dancin' in the spotlight It was then I lost my self control You stole my soul from me I'm flirting with temptation Coming close to complication now Dancin' with desire You practice sweet seduction And I'll follow your instruction now Hangin' on the wire Dancin' with desire I make my own rules No chains on me, independence is my style But tonight I'll be your fool And any fool could see why 'Cause when you come on like the demon wind I've got to begin with you, oh, baby I'm flirting with temptation Coming close to complication now Dancin' with desire You practice sweet seduction And I'll follow your instruction now Hangin' on the wire Dancin' with desire 'Cause when you come on like the demon wind I have got to, got to begin with you, oh, baby I'm flirting with temptation Coming close to complication now Dancin' with desire You practice sweet seduction And I'll follow your instruction now Hangin' on the wire Dancin' with desire Dancin' with desire Hangin' on the wire Dancin' with desire Dancin' with desire

You're gettin' all dressed up On a Saturday night I'm afraid to ask where you're goin' 'Cause it always starts a fight You tell me that you're goin' out With a couple of friends But with that perfume that you're wearing Those friends make no sense And you never wanna give me a straight answer at all Every time I try to take command You say, "Honey, try to understand" Having second thoughts about you Should I play or walk away? What should I do? (what should I do?) Having second thoughts about you Second thoughts about you Together our love is hot We set each other on fire And it's only for the moment But there's more that I require And every time I find myself On this merry-go-round There is one thing that I'm sure of It's either up or down And you never wanna listen to what I gotta say You never wanna listen, babe Every time I try to take command You say, "Honey, please try to understand" Having second thoughts about you Should I play or walk away? What should I do? (what should I do?) Having second thoughts about you Second thoughts about you Having second thoughts about you Should I play or walk away? What should I do? (oh, what should I do?) Having second thoughts about you Second thoughts about you Second thoughts about you Should I play or walk away? Second thoughts about you

Just gimme a piece of the rock All I need is the key to the lock Just gimme a piece, a piece of the rock Cast out, lost and all alone Exiled, my existence unknown My belief in myself, I can make it on my own All I want is a piece, a piece of that rock All the paths that I've walked on All the doors that I've knocked on Just gimme a piece of the rock All I need is the key to the lock Just gimme a piece, a piece of the rock I promise I'll never stop Just take me right to the top Just gimme a piece, a piece of the rock Am I foolin' myself or am I foolin' you? Do I need to fool anyone at all? I think I'll follow, no, maybe I'll lead On my piece of the rock, I'm gonna stand tall All the paths that I've walked on All the doors that I've knocked on Just gimme a piece of the rock All I need is the key to the lock Just gimme a piece, a piece of the rock I promise I'll never stop Just take me right to the top Just gimme a piece, a piece of the rock Just gimme a piece, a piece of the rock
