TALISMAN LYRICS

1. Break Your Chains

Wake up, wake up, it's time to find out
You're on your own
Get up, stand up, you'd better face it
You're all alone

Who will catch you when you fall
Who will hear you when you call
Don't you know what you must do?

Break your chains
And I will always be there
Break your chains
We can love, we can share

I will never let you down
I'm right before your eyes
Don't tell yourself you won't believe it
Make everything all right

I will catch you when you fall
I will hear you when you call
There's only one thing you must do

Break your chains
And I will always be there
Break your chains
We can love, we can share

2. Standin' on Fire

We tried to avoid disaster
But it's too late this time
But life goes on all but faster
And no change in sight

On fire
As I reach out for you
I'm standing on fire

The lies and the cold deception
Right in front of our eyes
They gave us the wrong perception
That led to goodbye

On fire
As I reach out for you
I'm standing on fire

Can you hear me calling
I'm standing on fire

[Solo]

And now that the tears are gone
Everything is all right
We tried to avoid disaster
In our hearts in our minds

3. I'll Be Waiting

If you need somebody, call out my name
I'll be waiting right by your side tonight

I've heard the words out on the street
Your love is much in danger
Though I can hear the tears of pain
I can see the cries of anger

Oh, if you let me know
We can chase the night away

If you need somebody call out my name
I'll be waiting right by your side
Everything changes, but love will remain
I'm waiting right by your side, tonight

Inside and outside and upside down
This merry-go-round you give in for
Tell me the reasons why you go back
Back to the same old story

Oh, I can be the one
Dance and romance until the morning light

If you need somebody call out my name
I'll be waiting right by your side
Everything changes, but love will remain
I'm waiting right by your side, tonight

We can chase the night away

4. Dangerous

I never trust a lover
But I believed in you
And it hurts to uncover all your lies

Anger and frustration you took me by surprise
But I won't let you get away with it

Don't look over your shoulder
'Cause I'm only one step behind you

I am dangerous
I've got murder on my mind
I am dangerous
And I know that I've been blind

How long did you fake it
Not that I wanna know
But how can you deny you done me wrong

Oh I will break your bones
The way you broke my heart
I'll slowly grind them into dust

Don't look over your shoulder
'Cause I'm only one step behind you

I am dangerous
I've got murder on my mind
I am dangerous
And I know that I've been blind

I gotta one track mind and I'm
Coming after you yeah, yeah, yeah

[Solo]

Don't look over your shoulder
'Cause I'm only one step behind you

I am dangerous
I've got murder on my mind
I am dangerous
And I know that I've been blind

...and I know, yes I know, that I'm coming after you
So don't you turn around, no, no

5. Just Between Us

You came like a silent breeze
Heaven sent like an angel
I knew I'd tear apart
Two hearts left to wander

Can two lovers turn strangers
Pretend through the night that love is alive

Oh, just between us
Lies can wait until the morning dawn
Oh, just between us
Tonight we will be as one

Fools rain falling down on me
As I walk alone
I'm dreaming of that one day
You'll be back again

Can two lovers turn strangers
Pretend through the night
That love is alive?

Oh, just between us
Lies can wait until the morning dawn
Oh, just between us
Tonight we will be as one

Can two lovers turn strangers
Pretend through the night
That love is alive?
Oh, just between us
Lies can wait until the morning dawn
Oh, just

6. System of Power

You talk about Palestine and I talk about Jim Hall
I don't know nothing about your Middle-Eastern war
You talk 'bout lipstick, baby, I talk about safe sex
You still don't know nothing 'bout how I get my kicks

But there are ways to get through life
And there are hundreds of answers
You won't get through by chances
System of power

I don't think 'bout going places where I've never been
Inside my soul to reach a conscience extreme
You think 'bout how to get that heavily revenge
You got some thirst inside, babe, that you need to quench

But there are ways to get through life
And there are hundreds of answers
You won't get through by chances
System of power

System of control, system of power, system of love

[Solo]

I still believe that a man should have some kind of control
On how she treats her neighbor, fellow or her soul
It takes a long, long time to get to that insight
Until that that day has come, babe, please don' t try to fight it

7. Queen

All alone, nowhere to go
What you gonna do?
Take a look outside your door
She's there waiting for you!
Ecstasy is in her eyes
She's sweeter than honey
With her smile she'll take you down
The price is right, it's only money

She walks the lonely streets
Sells you love for the moment
Oh oh! She's the queen of the night

Says she'll be your hearts desire
All night to devour
Says she'll be your everything
But you'll pay by the hour
Easy money, easy love

Everyone's a loser oh, oh

She's a queen of the night

8. Lightning Strikes

Cold wind blowing outside
But it's cold as steel in my heart
Oh she's a hot blooded woman
She wants to tear me apart
Chained up like a prisoner
Something tells me I can't resist
Finally she tried too hard
And I couldn't take it anymore

I have taken, full control
Maybe it's just another lie
When lightning strikes, I know!
It will change my ways

Joker with a losing hand
I play the game but I still can't win
Oh oh for a long long time
She's got her hands around my heart

9. Day by Day

I ask myself but I can't explain
The way I feel about you
More than anything I've known before
What can I do?

The night goes on, minute by minute
Forever
And everyday I sit around wondering,
Where you are
Day by day
I try to make it through another day
Cause I can't give up hoping
I'll find you again oh
Night by night
I can't take another sleepless night
If I close my eyes I'm dreaming
It's all in vain
You know I can't get you outta my mind
Say you love me then you say you don't
You keep on changing your mind
I won't rest until I hear you
Say you wanna be mine

10. Women, Whiskey and Songs

My heart keeps drumming the beat
Of rhythm and blues
Baby let me tell you it's the only music
I can use!

Women, whiskey, and song
Women, whiskey, and song
Oh that's a what I need
But if it wasn't for whiskey
I would never have sold my soul
For rock 'n' roll

You can't show me a woman
I'm gonna refuse
All I need is a love potion
Bottle of booze

Women, whiskey, and song
Women, whiskey, and song
Oh that's a what I need
But if it wasn't for whiskey
I would never have sold my soul
For rock 'n' roll

[Solo]

If it wasn't for whisky
If it wasn't for women
I never would have sold my soul
For rock 'n' roll

11. Great Sandwich

[Instrumental]
