Said she came from Memphis
You can look but please don't touch
Didn't like rock and rollers
Seemed a bit much too much
Cause it's the natural thing ,feelin' the star
The Natural blood starts to flow
Yeah, the natural thing, got up a star
Then she'll never let you go
Hey girl, now does it feel allright Think I'm gettin' through
Don't you think the band's real tight Wait till we start to move --
May sound funny but you gave it to me, I didn't even like it
May sound funny but you gave it to me ,And now I got to live without it
I been down to Atlanta, Got to move my feet
Gettin' down before the last call
With every star she meets
(Mogg/Parker/Peyronel) 2:56
Fast as light our kicks were burnin'
On the road a distant silent song
Hands upon my engines growin'
Engine's deep throat breathin' out so strong
I can hold her, can you roll her
Riding like there's no tomorrow
Silent song sure is growin' stronger
Shadow reached a high note
And in the distance electric lights grow longer
I can hold her, can you roll her
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 4:30
Oh Belladonna, never knew the pain
Maybe I'm crazy, maybe it'll drive me insane,
The open letter just carelessly placed ,
And you move in silence, the tea so delicately laced -
Out of reach, out of touch
How you've learned to hate so much
Out of reach, out of touch
How you've learned to hate so much
Came from passion, and you gave it a name
The fingers are poisoned like needles, in the drivin' rain
So smile discreetly as you watch with such grace
Now I must slip away, but can you forget my face
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 3:19
Little bit of you runnin' through my veins
Little bit of everything, You know that's what you said
Try hard, try hard to reason, reasons love
Try hard, try hard to reason, reasons love
Cause always you indulge
And parents try to get you out of these jams
You got that envy cause they won't understand
The social life you lead leaves nothin' to desire
Don't wanna see you bleed
But you came on like a liar
Try hard, try hard to reason, reasons love
Try hard, try hard to reason, reasons love
Wrecked myself to love you, All you want is more
One thing you're after, You just try and score
(Music/Lyrics: Danny Peyronel) 3:47
Run down, low down, don't feel tired
Take no orders, don't get fired
I waste away cruisin' along
Fighting blizzards, ragin' storms
Hold the wheel tight know I'm born to ramble on
Cruisin' along
But I stop, turn my head around
Sleep until tomorrow, in my arms
In my arms,
Highway lady, low way life
dream the big time up above
Highway lady, high on her heels
make you smile again
How she feels
Found my way to Spanish stairs
Small corruption, no one cares about tastin life Cruisin' along
Fighting blizzards, ragin' storms
Hold the wheel tight know I'm born to ramble on
Cruisin' along
Highway lady, low way life
dream the big time up above
Highway lady, high on her heels
make you smile again
How she feels
How she feels
Highway lady, highway lady Highway lady, highway lady
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 5:02
Something going on at the corner of the block
It's the kids down there They were startin' to rock
Hot black fever runnin' everyplace
When the Greek kid pulled a knife and pushed it in his face
Some girl makes it with a lover in the dark
As the ambulance pulls away, she cries out more
And it's all night long, all night long
On with the action
Need the fastest legs alive
On with the action
If you can't run you aint gonna survive
On with the action
Mama's boy and teacher's pet
On with the action
It's down our street, is it in yours yet
All the kids stand laughin' They never had such fun
When someone cuts a brown man who just can't make a run
And the queen that's been standin' behind the toilet door
His parents don't like boyfriends, call him a whore
But the minister's starin' with his bible in his hand
Was this God's children, he didn't understand
(Miller/Fraser) 2:47
People say I'm a lion at heart But they don't know what I am,
People say that I stand apart But they just don't understand -
Everynight when the darkness calls, I'll be there at your beck and call
I'm a fool for you baby, I'm a fool right now
People say I'm a man of means, But my plans are full of holes
People say I'm a holy child, But I'm rich down to my soul
All I need is you close beside, All I need is to satisfy
I'm a fool for you baby, I'm a fool right now
I'm a fool for you baby, I'm a fool in love
Every mornin' when the sun comes up
And all your dreams, they slip away
I see your face and I understand
You're the only one, only one to make my day
Everybody say you ain't no good, But I won't believe it's true
They all say I ought to find someone, but my heart belongs to you
(Mogg/Parker/Peyronel) 5:08
Come from the land where the wheat is still wheat
Where the waters in the rivers is still water
In this land every man lends a hand when you need it,
But your hands are full of life ,So you can help yourself and feel it
It's been a long way from the red of my home
From the valleys, and the green plains never ending
Everyone knows that the sun in his land is stronger
And your hands are full of life
If you can only wait just longer
So let it be a small haven big in your heart
Don't let it turn into an ogre
Tryin' to climb and climb
Try and forget this place where
I can still find time
To sing in rhyme
Martian landscape,
I want to lie in your arms
Where all the freedom is mine and it comes
Martian landscape,
I'll turn my face to your sun
Where your horizon is mine and it comes
