Album • 1983
Ball of fire in the sky The sound of solid steel A flash of lightning Sounds so frightening When the power's all you feel From the leather of the fifties Murray the K and Alan Freed Monroe and James Dean Died for the silver screen Elvis made them bleed Born in America oh yeah Born in America oh oh You wanna see a movie star Oh Hollywood or D.C. Politicians greed Money's all you need The power's guaranteed Vegas got the casinos And Texas oil wells Got your Boston beans Got your Frisco queens Anything that sells Born in America yeah Born in America Land of the free yeah Come on rock the stages come on Born in America oh yeah ah Born in America whoa Motor city motown Chile dogs and baseball Blue jeans and coca cola Rock'n'roll All born in America heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh

Passion and pleasure, It's always the same Playin' with fire, it's a dangerous game Turn back the lies, turn back the night It's deep within me, a spell I can't fight And you burn, in me Just like fire on the ragging sea Like a storm, from inside Like thunder from a friendly sky There's no escaping, that look in your eyes Though I can see you, through your disguise My souls in prison, I'm locked up in chains No chance for release, you pour through my veins And you burn, in me Just like fire on the ragging sea Like a storm, from inside Like thunder from a friendly sky -Solo- And you burn, in me Just like fire on the ragging sea Like a storm, from inside Like thunder from a friendly sky And you burn, in me Just like fire on the ragging sea Like a storm, from inside Like thunder from a friendly sky You burn in me Oh you burn You burn in me you burn you burn Ooo, Ooo, Ooo

When the moon is black Never turning back In the castle walls The suit of armor shines Through the ruins of time I can hear them call Oh the ground it is burning The seasons are turning It's time that we planned the attack The medieval call it cries for us all Now there is no turning back We'll rise with the sun this task must be done Driving them into the sea The king he must fall or death to us all We must win this one victory Wings of fire Take me higher Burning your way through the night Wings of fire Take me higher The battle is raging in flight We'll have victory on wings of fire Oh the war it wages the battle it rages Long into the night The warrior's falling there's destiny calling His blood drains from his mortal life The castle's on fire flames reaching higher Burning a hole in the sky And from it will fall freedom for all Shouting for our victory call Wings of fire Take me higher Burning your way through the night Wings of fire Take me higher The battle is raging in flight We'll have victory on wings of fire Wings of fire Take me higher Burning your way through the night Wings of fire Take me higher The battle is raging in flight We'll have victory on wings of fire

Running from the law for something I did not do Fearful of the lies fighting for the truth I can't let them catch me my life it will be done So when evening comes I'll be on the run Running through the hills got no place to hide Racing with the wind I got you by my side A fugitive chasing after destiny Freedom never shines oh down on me yeah Running from the law reaching for the sky Never turn my back on shadows in the night Running from the law Their sights are set on me I must keep up the pace I feel them getting near I won't give up the chase And when the morning comes if they're not at my door I'll keep myself alive running ever more Running from the law reaching for the sky Never turn my back on shadows in the night Oh running from the law oh oh Aaaah running from the law for something I did not do Fearful of the lies fighting for the truth oh A fugitive chasing after destiny Freedom never shines down on me yeah Running from the law reaching for the sky Never turn my back on shadows in the night Running from the law running from the law running from the law

Hmm mm mm mm I've had nothing but bad luck Since the day I saw the cat at my door So I came into you sweet lady Answered in your mystical course Crystal ball on the table Showin' the future the past Same chapel of evil eyes And I knew it was the spell she cast She's just a devil woman With evil on her mind Beware the devil woman She's gonna get you She's just a devil woman With evil on her mind Beware the devil woman She's gonna get you from behind Give me the ring on your finger Let me see the lines on your hand I can see me a tall dark stranger Giving you what you hadn't planned huh huh I take the potion she offered me I found myself on the floor Then I looked in those big green eyes And I wondered what I came there for oh She's just a devil woman With evil on her mind Beware the devil woman She's gonna get you She's just a devil woman With evil on her mind Beware the devil woman She's gonna get you from behind From behind from behind I don't want you anymore And stay away If you're out on a moonlit night Be careful of the neighbourhood strays Have a lady with long black hair Try to win you with her feminine ways Crystal ball on the table Showin' the future the past Same chapel of evil eyes You better get out of there fast She's just a devil woman With evil on her mind Beware the devil woman She's gonna get you She's just a devil woman With evil on her mind Beware the devil woman ooh ooh She's just a devil woman You know she's gonna hide Beware the devil woman From behind She's just a devil woman Beware the devil woman Ooh she's the one She's just a devil woman yeah Beware the devil woman She's just a devil woman She's gonna get you

Leaves have fallen 'cross the path we once have slaved Is it long before we catch the break of day Out in the fields we carry on our broken journey Straight path ahead all we ask is Hope and glory A voice it cries on through the night it never dies Here poisoned rain cuts in through the crimson sky Out in the fields we carry on the lonely distance Straight path ahead all we ask is no resistance Aah aah aah aah aah aah Have we led ourselves astray Have we lost the light of day Can we hear our leaders call Will we learn we're one and all Is no man ever save Where soldiers rule Where soldiers rule Through sand and rain full moon in sight There lies our stand on through the night Out in the fields our leaders call Straight paths ahead Soldiers rule this all Have we led ourselves astray Have we lost the light of day Can we hear our leaders call Will we learn we're one and all Is no man ever save Where soldiers rule Where soldiers rule
