SLAUGHTER LYRICS

1. Reach For The Sky

You can run but you can't hide
It's just another day in the rat race
It seems like you're fallin' behind
So tell me what you gonna do
So you're feelin' down and out
And it seems like you got no future
Never knowin' what you will find
So tell me what you gonna do

[Chorus:]
Just reach for the sky
There's nothin' that you can't do
Just open your eyes
The lights will shine on you
You'll reach for the sky

How far do ya have to climb
To stand on top of the mountain
When it seems all ya do is slide
Now tell me what this means to you
(Oh what this means to you baby)

[Chorus]

Maybe we can run away
And hide behind our tears
Paradise is on its way
Just open your mind up
I'll rid you of all your fears

[Chorus]

2. Out For Love

Let's start this party with a little direction
Raise your hands, c'mon and stomp your feet
We're all lookin' for complete affection
Forget your chairs, c'mon get off your seats
Let's all go and set the world on fire
Everybody stand up and unite
All of this twisting and turning and screaming and burning
This show stays open all night

[Chorus:]
Out for love
You know we're out for love babe
Love, love, love
Out for love
You know we're out for love

There's no control, it's like a fatal attraction
C'mon up just run through the aisles
No one can stop you, it's a chain reaction
So crank it up, this audience has got style
Let's all go and set the world on fire
Everybody stand up and unite
All of this twisting and turning and screaming and burning
This show stays open all night

[Chorus]

5. Dance For Me Baby

Let the good times roll, oh yeah
You're gettin' out of your day job--feelin' so good
'Cause you're on your way to a rock 'n' roll show--dressed to kill
But don't just stand there with your hands on your hips
Sayin' my, my, my

[Chorus:]
Come on and dance for me baby
Won't ya show me a little action
Why don't ya dance for me baby
Won't ya show me a little action
'Cause if there's one thing that I want
It's just another thing that you might need
Why don't ya dance for me baby
Won't ya show me a little action

So ya end up out in the parking lot after the show
And you're lookin' for your friends
You wonder which which way did they go, man
So don't just stand there with a smile on your face
Sayin' why, why, why

[Chorus]

So now you're backstage and ya want your picture in a magazine
And then the band comes out of the room
Sayin' what do ya mean
So if ya read right between the lines
Yes, this really happens all the time

[Chorus]

6. Times They Change

You live your life tryin' to make ends meet
Just one mistake and then you're out in the street
Growin' tired, but you keep hangin' on
Here's a message to you my friend
Just search, you'll find the way

[Chorus:]
Now you're on your own, anywhere is your home
Keep on movin' on
Don't look back, just be strong
Now your life is your own
Keep on movin' on
Times they change

It's so simple you don't realize
You get those chances only once in your life
Alone and cold, but you keep hangin' on
Here's a message to you my friend
Just search, you'll find a way

[Chorus]

Times they change my friend (change)
If it was up to you, you'd never see the light
It makes no difference--ain't that right
But now you're really seeing what I'm talkin' about
Hey, you change those ways, oh yeah

[Chorus]

Times, they'll change my friend (change)

[Chorus]

Times will change

7. Move To The Music

I'm in the mood
It's time to go out tonight
You're feeling good
Pulsating, going faster than the speed of light
I feel it touch me
Oh, don't ya know
That it's never loud enough for me

[Chorus:]
You've got to move to the music
You've got to live on rock 'n' roll
You've got to move to the music

Don't ya know it's good for your soul
Out on the town
Saw this girl she looked so fine
I'll tell ya now
Oh I love it
When I feel her body movin' close to mine
I feel it touch me
Oh, don't ya know
That it's never loud enough for me

[Chorus]

Can you feel it

[Chorus]

8. Real Love

I lie awake in the morning light
No one to hold
Another sleepless night
'Cause it's over now that you've left me
Oh so lonely

Oh, I hear it calling
Oh, I hear it calling

Real love won't somebody show me
Real love isn't anyone true anymore
Real love won't somebody show me
Real love where are you

All through my lifeI've been feelin' down
Searchin' to find
I'm lost and not found
There's gotta be someone
Someone who understands me

Oh, I hear it calling
Oh, I hear it calling

Real love won't somebody show me
Real love isn't anyone true anymore
Real love won't somebody show me
Real love where are you

Oh, I hear it calling
Oh, can't you hear it calling

Real love won't somebody show me
Real love isn't anyone true anymore
Real love won't somebody show me
Real love where are you

9. Shake This Place

Ya know I'm headin' on out
Gonna take a little ride on the town
With my 350 runnin' hot
Nothing's gonna bring me down
I look over and over to make sure the man's not on my trail
So, I put my foot on the gas--hammer down to the nail

[Chorus:]
Ya know the weekend has arrived
Got a six gun at my side
We're gonna shake this place
'Cause that's the way we want it
Shake this place when you're goin' too far
Shake this place, gonna push it to the limit
And we're never gonna stop

You know my juices start flowin' and the good times start to roll
I've got my mind wide open and I'm gonna stick around for more
I look over my shoulder, let me tell ya what I did see (uh-huh)
Two of the opposite sex, hot and nasty lookin' at me

[Chorus]

I see the sun comin' up, put the sunglasses on my eyes
I'm gonna stay up through the day 'til the day turns back into night

[Chorus]

10. Streets Of Broken Hearts

Tonight,
I wish that you were here,
the thoughts and dreams were near...
I won't forget you.

Was it right?
The feelings from above,
I thought we called this love,
I won't forget you....

But those were empty promises,
and now I live in loneliness, oh girl,
Oh, my darling, It's so true.

[Chorus:]
I guess I'll walk along the streets of broken hearts again.
That's just the way we feel if all things are left unsaid;
All alone,
we'll walk the streets of broken hearts.

Girl, if we only let it show
but we will never know,
but I still miss you.

It's been so long
so long we've lived our lives.
I kissed your lips goodbye
and I still miss you.

But those were empty promises,
and now I live in loneliness, oh girl,
oh my darling, It's so true.

[Chorus:]
I guess I'll walk along the streets of broken hearts again.
That's just the way we feel if all things are left unsaid;
All alone,
we'll walk the streets of broken hearts.

[Guitar Solo]

But those were empty promises,
and now I live in loneliness, oh girl,
oh my darling, It's so true

[Chorus:]
I guess I'll walk along the streets of broken hearts again.
That's just the way we feel if all things are left unsaid;
I guess I'll walk along the streets of broken hearts again.
That's just the way we feel if all things are left unsaid;

Oh, girl, broken hearts again...
Oh, girl, broken hearts again...

11. Hold On

Now that the party's over
My head spins round and round
I'm gonna get my feet back on the ground
I know that you are out there somewhere
Thinkin' 'bout what we've done
'Cause I'm wonderin' where your heart is
This feelin' can't be wrong

[Chorus:]
Hold on, baby hold on
I can't go on baby without you
Hold on, baby hold on
After all that we've been through
I can't go on baby without you
Hold on, baby hold on

You said that we were special
Like no other kind
I can't believe what we both left behind
I wish that we could be together
I just can't let go
'Cause I love you more than ever
More than you'll even know

[Chorus]

Tossing, turning, dreaming of you
Every day of my life

[Chorus]

12. Do Ya Know

It's an illusion in your mind
Imagination runs wild
Well are you satisfied 'cause the picture you paint is so blue
Or do you close your eyes to live the other side
When you're lookin' in the mirror there is no one in sight

[Chorus:]
Do you really know who you are
So ya wanna change your life
Do you really know who you are
'Cause you're gonna have to face it
Tell me why

Why do you cry out in vain
Lost in confusion, is your game
Well are you satisfied 'cause the picture you paint is so blue
Or do you close your eyes to live the other side
When you're lookin' in the mirror there is no one in sight

[Chorus]
You won't remember what you've done
And now you live life on the run

[Chorus]

13. Old Man

Wanna tell ya a story that happened to me
There was this old man started chattin' with me
He sat by himself on the side of the road
A cowboy hat and them pointed toes
He said, hey son what do ya do
Ya better pay attention when I'm talkin' to you
I've been around here for a long, long time
Could have bought this land for damn near a dime
(Right over there past that gas station over there, see it)
So I headed on over, leaned against his truck
And ya better hear me out or you're shit outta luck
I've been through times that you wouldn't believe
It makes a man feel about a hundred and three
Again he asked, what do ya do
I can't imagine by lookin' at you
Boy, things have changed since way back when
I wish that I was back in my teens again
I said hey, I said hey, to what the old man said
So we hopped in his truck, went for a ride
He talked about things before I was alive
Ya know, that used to be a big mining town
My brother and I brought that mountain down
My oh my, look how they built over there
Have ya ever thought about cutting that hair
Ya never told me what do ya do
Tell me kid, are ya just passing through
You say hey, you say hey, from what the old man said
So I tried and I tried and I tried and I tried
Yeah, I tried to speak my piece
So, low and behold when all was told the only listening one was me
So I tried and I tried and I tried and I tried
Yeah, I tried to break on through
So, low and behold when all was told the stubburn one was he
So the moral of the story is ya gotta learn a lesson
Especially from a man who got a Smith and Wesson
Ya better learn with your ears and not with your eyes
Or you'll be dealt a big surprise
I said hey, I said hey
To what the old man said

From what he said now
