1. Midnight Rendezvous
[Boulton/Marsh]
Another, another lonely night
I want to know who can be right
She's dressed to kill and I'm under her spell
I think I know her, but I never can tell
[Bridge]
You give to me that something I need
Without you near I just can't survive
I need your love, but that look in your eyes
Is so much colder than Ice
[Chorus]
Midnight rendezvous
I've got to get a message to you
Midnight rendezvous
What more can I do
You're tearing my heart out
I close my eyes but I still feel my pain
I'm pushed away while you play your game
You're not so shy, but you've got nothing to say
Just look at me and throw my heart away
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
You run, you run away
[Solo]
[Chorus]
2. Break The Chains
[Boulton/Marsh/Wiggins]
Woke today, my heads a daze
I can't remember a thing about the night
Reflections of an empty face
There's something wrong and I'm lost without a trace
[Bridge]
Lady killer, a lost cause
Locked away, screaming in vain
Body wrapped in chains
Going insane, I can't stand the pain
[Chorus]
Break the chains, break the chains
Break the chains from me now
Whoa - oooo
Feeling cold, my fears returned
Close my eyes, but the nightmare still remains
I can't believe, my eyes reveal
I can't recall where I was the night before
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
[Solo]
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
3. If Heaven Is Hell
[Boulton/Marsh]
Light, burning in your eyes, telling all your lies
leading me to hell, and I just hope and pray
That I'll be there some day, I'm going all the way
[Chorus]
If Heaven Is Hell
You'll never get me down
If Heaven Is Hell
You'll never get me down
Run, fighting to the end, just what will we learn?
Will we burn away?, is this what you want?
Its too late to change, stare it in the face
[Chorus]
[Solo]
[Chorus]
[Solo]
Don't, don't turn it away, we fought it so hard
Now we can't, turn it away
[Chorus]
4. Mean Streak
[Boulton/Marsh]
Standing in the shadows, evil smile upon his face
Today he's on top but tomorrow he'll be down
He strikes for vengeance then he's gone without a trace
Mark my words, he'll be back, no time to lose
[Bridge]
Play into his hands, it's no good turning back
One look into his eyes, a face that twists your mind
[Chorus]
Mean streak
He's got a mean streak
Oh mean streak
A mean streak
Acting like a child but he walks the road to ruin
Steal everything you've got, then throw your life away
When he gives a helping hand, do you know what he's doing
He's got the power to make things work, it's part of his plan
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
[Solo]
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
5. Powergame
[Boulton/Marsh]
You like to mess around with all the guys in town
And you don't give a damn what that means to me
And now there's no one left that you ain't cheated on
They've all got wise to you, just like me
[Bridge]
You're living, you're loving, you've got to beware
You're cheating, you're scheming more than you dare
[Chorus]
You love it, you need it, Powergame
You want it, you feed it, Powergame
More power, more fever, Powergame
It's hot, It's money, Powergame
Cold and hard inside, steel look in your eyes
The promises you make are only there to break
Looking for the action but you should know by know
Sleep on alone at night, for you own sake
[Bridge]
You're crying, You're bleeding, there's nowhere to run
You're lying, you're screaming, it's your turn to burn
[Chorus]
[Solo]
[Chorus]
6. Highway Passion
[Boulton/Marsh]
Screaming with pleasure, wind tears your flesh
Power within your grasp, burn into the night
Smell of death and danger, keeps you driving on
Engines hot and hungry, ride again tonight
[Bridge]
Face bleeding with pain when will it end
Are you afraid of dying tonight
Your lights shining bright
Will you ever change your ways
Just live for today
[Chorus]
Heads down, how many times, highway passion
Heads down, how many times, highway passion
Heads down, how many times, highway passion
Heads down, how many times, highway passion
Tear out your heart, a voice inside you laughs
Stare in the face of death, this time you can't defy
No one to turn to know, your life is on the line
It's not a crazy dream, I hear you screaming why
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
[Solo]
[Chorus]
7. Killer City
[Boulton/Marsh]
Standing in the shadows, see a vision on your mind
You will see the sunrise, will you make it through the day?
Running down a side street, is somebody after you
Got to turn and face it, there's just no other way
[Chorus]
Down on your knees, praying for the day to break
No one to hear you cry, death rules the streets
Running wild, running wild
Night in the back streets, nobody dares to walk
A shadow by the streetlamp, a chill runs through your spine
Your head in your hands, your back against the wall
A tear from your eye, as you see the metal shine
[Chorus]
[Solo]
[Chorus]
Killer City, how can we live when you destroy
Killer City, will stand and fight, we have to survive
8. Sunrise In Tokyo
[Boulton/Marsh]
Listen to the sounds, they fill my head
The room goes round and round
Calm before the storm, I feel so alone
And I know that something's going down
[Bridge]
Down in the streets, the spotlight's shining bright
Neon lights, crazy nights, race the shadows to the dawn
[Chorus]
Sunrise In Tokyo [x4]
Tokyo!, Tokyo!
Can't shake it loose, I was born to the night
Can't wait for the light with you
Candle in the wind, burn it down
And wait for the rising sun
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
[Solo]
Race through the night, see the madman approach
Look in his eyes chills your bones
Times close at hand, are you waiting to die?
But the face in the window is mine
Oh no
[Solo]
[Chorus]
