KROKUS LYRICS

1. Hellraiser

Aaw... gonna take it to the limit... yeah!
Come on...

I've been pushin' my load uphill
And my back is bent
Now I'm lookin' for a thrill
'cause the juice ain't spent
Slippin' in for satisfaction
Gimme a piece of your sweet love action
'Fore the night is through...
Gonna rescue you

'cause I'm a hellraiser
funchaser
hellraiser
boneshaker!!

You sink me into oblivion
When you let me in
You make me feel like one in a million
When you moan'n'grin... aw!
Forget about the neighbours
Lettin' it all hang out
We're rockin' this joint
I love to hear you scream and shout...
aaaawww!!

I'm a hellraiser
funchaser
hellraiser
boneshaker!!
No one's beggin' for mercy... slipping and sliding' it in

Aww alright!

[Chorus 3x]

Come again... baby
Mmmmmm gonna slide it right in... aww!

2. Too Wired To Sleep

...The night is young... time to party down!!!

Another day is over
Another job well done
The air is full of excitement
And no one's goin' home
Burnin' mesquite on the barbeque
Sweet sensimilia's smoke
Guitar playin' tequila moon light
Give the fire a poke

I'm too wired to sleep tonight
I'm too wired

Grab another bottle
From an empty bus
Meet you by the hotel pool
Come on don't make a fuss!
Sand on my feet... breeze in my face
Shootin' stars in the night
Singin' songs under the moonshine
Keepin' the fire high!!

I'm too wired to sleep tonight
I'm too wired
I'm too wired to sleep tonight
I ain't tired

3. Hangman

A beacon, lights in the dark
The poison is deep in her heart
Not one drop of kindness
Fills the world, she's leavin' behind
No flickering sparkle of life
In the bed where she lies

Hangman... Hangman
Don't cover my eyes
Please do your job well
Hangman... Hangman
I'll meet her in heaven
Can't stay in this hell!!!

A rainbow, bursting with light
In the rain, my eyes turn to the sky
Decay and corruption
Fill the void, when the good die young
Her murder they planted on me
But the maker knows, all that should be!

Hangman... Hangman
Don't cover my eyes
Please do your job well
Hangman... Hangman
I'll meet her in heaven
Can't stay in this hell!!!

I can't stand it! I can't stand it!

No flickering sparkle of life
Only intrigue and lies

4. Angel Of My Dreams

There she stood
At the edge of my bed
Flowers sweet
In her long long hair
Angel... beckoned me to follow

She took my hand
And spread her wings
Freein' my spirit
From earthly things
Far from the starlight and narrow

Angel of my dreams
Look into my eyes
Tell me we will never fall
Angel of my dreams
Look into my eyes
Tell me we will never fall!

She placed my shaft
On her feathered bow
She aimed high
And let the arrow go
Deep in her ancestral heaven

I could feel this strong
Celestial force
A natural mystical
Divine source
Flyin' me to a new dimension

[repeat chorus]

Never never never never fall

5. Fight On

Dogs of war are laughin'
Another rotten plan
Feedin' on evil
Inflicted on man
Cities lie in ruins
Destruction marches on
Poor people in the streets are dyin'
It goes on an on

How long must this go on?

Lost in this confusion
Cryin' in the dirt
Sweet children wipe your tears away
I will not see you hurt
Thousands of voices
Screamin' in my head
Like cattle to the slaughter
I will not see you dead

How long must this go on? How long?
How long must this go on?

Fight on!
The fight is on
Fight on
Fight on!
The fight is on!!

I'll climb every mountain
Sail every sea
Freein' all slaves
Fightin' for a dream
Armies of hatred
Growing on the shore
Brainwashing the innocent
With righteousness of war!!

Don't give up!

6. So Long

Alone...
Been walkin' the road far from home
Used and abused
Rejected by hearts made of stone
Hot blood...!
Shoots through my veins I'm alive
When I look into the mirror
I see man, puttin' up a fight

So long I'm movin' on
Been waitin' too long
So long
I'm movin' on
While I've still got the chance

Evil days
Like rose-thorns stuck in my head
Emptiness
Turnin' my live in to a livin' death
Memories...
I'm holding this shield to my brain
When the night falls...
Don't wanna give in, to the pain

So long I'm movin' on
Been waitin' too long
So long
I'm movin' on
While I still got the chance to start over... Oh!

[chorus 2x]

While I still got the chance to start over...
While I still got the chance!!!
...to start over...

7. Spirit Of The Night

The big wheel of fortune
Crashed down to the ground
Terror broke through' the city wall
We gathered our children and ran for our lives
Down in the catacomb hall

No sunlight no seasons
No bird song to hear.
Around the small fires
Fighting despair.
No talk of surrender
Sharpenin' our skills
Waiting for the moment
To strike back and win

Spirit of the night
You will be the guidin' light
Spirit of the night
You will be the guidin' light

Visions of freedom are fillin' my head
Dreaming of lovers by the lake
Sweet scent of flowers in young maidens' hair
Thanksgiving; days to celebrate

No fear and no treason
Laughter to hear,
Songs from the children
Filling the air.
Nothing to stop us
From taking revenge.
Bringing back the treasures
Of place time again

Spirit of the night
You will be the guidin' light
Spirit of the night
You will be the guidin' light
You will be the guidin' light

8. Midnite Fantasy

Come home from work... this empty room
Everyday I'm goin' through the... same old gloom
Come the weekend... loneliness is hard to bear

I'm hanging around... with some old friends
Tryin' my best to amuse myself
With memories of you... killin' my head

Alone in my midnite
Midnite fantasy
Alone in my midnite
Midnite fantasy

Telephone bills eatin' up my pay
'cause I've got to hear you talkin' to me... every day
But you know girl... this is not enough

Only one way to keep me... satisfied
I need to feel your passion, look into your eyes
Hold you close... feel your magic touch!

Alone in my midnite
Midnite fantasy
Alone in my midnite
Midnite fantasy

Only the way to keep me satisfied
Gonna buy me a ticket
Get me on that flight
'cause I need to hold you baby...
Close to my side yeah!!!

9. No Risk No Gain

You know I'm not superstitious
No I don't wear no good luck charm
In the morning when I wake up
I reach out... turn the music on
Turn it on!
Everyday the same old story
Freaks on my left! Jerks on my right!

No risk no gain
No fight no glory
Just playin' the game
It's all hunky-dory!

You know I'm not over ambitions
Keepin' it simple doin' no harm
In the night when wild wolves howl
In the cold my baby, keeps me warm
Oh, she turns me on!
Everyday the same old rat-race
Freaks on my left! Jerks on my right!

No risk no gain
No fight no glory
Just playin' the game
It's all hunky-dory!

...take it away

Dance to the music!
[chorus 3x]

10. Turnin' Inside Out

Round and round
I'm' gettin' dizzy
Get me off this carousel yeah!

Don't think don't smoke
Don't laugh don't joke
Gonna take my woman
Drive down the coast
(You can take this job 'n' shove it down to your throat)

Listen to the music
Let my spirit fly
See the stars shine bright
In the open sky

Makin' thunder
Out in the rain
Doin' what I want
No one to complain
(an' I got no shame)
Forget my troubles
Far from town
"Life's a circus
But I ain't your clown"

Turnin' inside out
Upside down
Inside out
Watch me burn
My world around

Don't think don't smoke
Don't laugh don't joke
Gonna take my woman
Drive down the coast
(You can take this job 'n' shove it down to your throat)

Guess the Circus never reached this town!!

11. Take My Love

I heard the pourin' rain
Under a blackened sky
I felt a young man's pain
As he watched his mother die

All across the land
Betrayal and illusion
No one to make a stand
Chaos and confusion

Take my love to the sunlight
Till the day turns into dark
Sing my sorrow to the moonlight
Till the sun comes up at dawn

I got down on my knees
An' let the white doves fly
We blew the pipes for peace...
That vanished in the sky

All across the land
Betrayal and illusion
No one to make a stand
Chaos and confusion

Till the sun comes up...
Comes up...
At dawn... wohoo ohoo!

12. Justice

Where are we going? What's on your mind
So full of anger...
It's hard to swallow your pride!

Where are we going? What's on your mind
So full of anger today
I know it's hard to just swallow your pride
Can't make the pain go away

Cold ambition, on the slog
Now you're steppin' on friends
Doomed to be a slave of your own damned job
Dyin' lonely in the grave... yeah

Justice is just
One step from freedom
And it's slippin', slippin' away
Justice is just
One step from freedom
And it's slippin' away... yeah yeah!

What are we doin'? Lord are you blind?
So full of hatred and pain
Loosin' control now you're loosing your mind
And you're just lettin' yourself go to waste!

[Chorus 2x]

13. Love Will Survive

Something's happenin' in my life
An' I think it must be love
I can feel that springtime itchy foolin'
Stirrin' up my blood

Guess I'm... high
Yes I'm... high
Guess I'm... high, high
High in you!!!

Got a light hearted dizzy head...mmm
A long long winter's end...ugh!
Gonna get my kicks like the birds and bees
Oh the birds and bees
Just pour a drink my friend

Guess I'm... high... waoh
Yes I'm... high
Guess I'm high... high
High in you!!!

Love will survive
Love will survive

(You know it goes... Everybody knows!!!)

[repeat chorus]

(If there's one thing that keeps me alive)
Love will survive
(A little bit of love and you know I will survive)
Love will survive
(If there's one thing that keeps me alive)
Love will survive
(A little bit of love and you know I will survive)
Love will survive

Thank you!

14. Rocks Off!

No time to hang around
You're always on the move
No time to fool around
Gotta stay fight on the groove
Got a job...
Got a job to do!
People out there beggin'
For your job that's true
Can't stay up late...
Can't sleep too long!
A couple of cool beers on the slate
An' you hurry on back home

9 to 5 existence
A slow commuting distance
Fast food resistance
(Pick up a pizza)
(Another TV dinner)
Goin' down the hole

Gotta get you gotta gotta get your rocks off!
Gotta get you gotta gotta get your rocks off!
'Fore Monday comes
You gotta get your rocks off!
On the weekend...
Gotta gotta get your rocks off!
Yeah!

Found love in the heart of the city
A pretty maid of gold
She gets down to the nitty gritty
You carry her over the threshold

Here come the kids... ha! ha!
No time left for you
Turnin' into a handyman
Lookin' for a screw

[repeat chorus]

15. Walking In The Spirit

[bonus track]
