Lyrics	I WAS NOTHING BUT A LONELY BOY, LOOKING FOR SOMETHING NEW. AND YOU WERE NOTHING BUT A LONELY GIRL, BUT YOU WERE SOMETHING, SOMETHING LIKE A DREAM COME TRUE. I WAS A UNIVERSITY TACKLE AND A HELL OF A BLOCK. WHEN I PLAYED MY GUITAR, I MADE THE CANYONS ROCK. BUT, EVERY SATURDAY NIGHT, I FELT THE FEVER GROW. DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE? ALL REVVED UP, AND NO PLACE TO GO. DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE? ALL REVVED UP, AND NO PLACE TO GO. IN THE MIDDLE OF A STEAMY NIGHT I'M TOSSING IN MY SLEEP. AND IN THE MIDDLE OF A RED-EYED DREAM I SEE YOU COMING, COMING ON TO ME. I WAS OUT ON THE PROWL, DOWN BY THE EDGE OF THE TRACK, AND LIKE THE SON OF A JACKAL, I'M THE LEADER OF THE PACK. BUT, EVERY SATURDAY NIGHT, I FELT THE FEVER GROW. DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE? ALL REVVED UP, AND NO PLACE TO GO. DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE? ALL REVVED UP, AND NO PLACE TO GO. OH, BABY, I'M A HUNTER IN THE DARK OF THE FOREST, I'VE BEEN STALKING YOU, AND TRACKING YOU DOWN. CRUISING UP AND DOWN THE MAIN DRAG ALL NIGHT LONG. WE COULD BE STANDING ON TOP OF THE WORLD, INSTEAD OF SINKING FURTHER DOWN IN THE MUD. YOU AND ME, 'ROUND ABOUT MIDNIGHT, YOU AND ME, 'ROUND ABOUT MIDNIGHT, SOMEONE'S GOT TO DRAW FIRST, DRAW FIRST, SOMEONE'S GOT TO DRAW FIRST BLOOD. SOMEONE'S GOT TO DRAW FIRST BLOOD. OOH, I GOT TO DRAW FIRST BLOOD. OOH, I GOT TO DRAW FIRST BLOOD. I WAS NOTHING BUT A LONELY BOY, LOOKING FOR SOMETHING NEW. AND YOU WERE NOTHING BUT A LONELY GIRL, BUT YOU WERE SOMETHING, SOMETHING LIKE A DREAM COME TRUE. I WAS A UNIVERSITY TACKLE AND A HELL OF A BLOCK. WHEN I PLAYED MY GUITAR, I MADE THE CANYONS ROCK. BUT, EVERY SATURDAY NIGHT, I FELT THE FEVER GROW. DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE? ALL REVVED UP, AND NO PLACE TO GO. DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE? ALL REVVED UP, AND NO PLACE TO GO. WELL I WAS NOTHING BUT A LONELY, ALL-AMERICAN BOY, LOOKING OUT FOR SOMETHING TO DO. AND YOU WERE NOTHING BUT A LONELY ALL-AMERICAN GIRL, BUT YOU WERE SOMETHING LIKE A DREAM COME TRUE. I WAS A UNIVERSITY TACKLE, AND A HELL OF A BLOCK, AND WHEN I PLAYED MY GUITAR, I MADE THE CANYON ROCK. BUT EVERY SATURDAY NIGHT, I FELT THE FEVER GROW. ALL REVVED UP, AND NO PLACE TO GO. ALL REVVED UP, AND NO PLACE TO GO. ALL REVVED UP, AND NO PLACE TO GO. ALL REVVED UP, AND NO PLACE TO GO. ALL REVVED UP, AND NO PLACE TO GO. ALL REVVED UP, AND NO PLACE TO GO. ALL REVVED UP, AND NO PLACE TO GO.

Lyrics	THE SIRENS ARE SCREAMING AND THE FIRES ARE HOWLING WAY DOWN IN THE VALLEY TONIGHT. THERE'S A MAN IN THE SHADOWS WITH A GUN IN HIS EYE, AND A BLADE SHINING OH, SO BRIGHT. THERE'S EVIL IN THE AIR AND THERE'S THUNDER IN THE SKY, AND A KILLER'S ON THE BLOODSHOT STREETS. AND DOWN IN THE TUNNEL WHERE THE DEADLY ARE RISING, OH, I SWEAR I SAW A YOUNG BOY DOWN IN THE GUTTER, HE WAS STARTING TO FOAM IN THE HEAT. OH, BABY, YOU'RE THE ONLY THING IN THIS WHOLE WORLD THAT'S PURE AND GOOD AND RIGHT. AND WHEREVER YOU ARE, AND WHEREVER YOU GO, THERE'S ALWAYS GONNA BE SOME LIGHT. BUT I GOTTA GET OUT, I GOTTA BREAK IT OUT NOW, BEFORE THE FINAL CRACK OF DAWN. SO WE GOTTA MAKE THE MOST OF OUR ONE NIGHT TOGETHER, WHEN IT'S OVER YOU KNOW, WE'LL BOTH BE SO ALONE. LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL, I'LL BE GONE WHEN THE MORNING COMES. WHEN THE NIGHT IS OVER, LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL, I'LL BE GONE, GONE, GONE. LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL, I'LL BE GONE WHEN THE MORNING COMES. BUT WHEN THE DAY IS DONE AND THE SUN GOES DOWN AND THE MOONLIGHT'S SHINING THROUGH... THEN LIKE A SINNER BEFORE THE GATES OF HEAVEN, I'LL COME CRAWLING ON BACK TO YOU. I'M GONNA HIT THE HIGHWAY LIKE A BATTERING RAM ON A SILVER BLACK PHANTOM BIKE. WHEN THE METAL IS HOT AND THE ENGINE IS HUNGRY, AND WE'RE ALL ABOUT TO SEE THE LIGHT. NOTHING EVER GROWS IN THIS ROTTING OLD HOLE, AND EVERYTHING IS STUNTED AND LOST. AND NOTHING REALLY ROCKS AND NOTHING REALLY ROLLS, AND NOTHING'S EVER WORTH THE COST. AND I KNOW THAT I'M DAMNED IF I NEVER GET OUT, AND MAYBE I'M DAMNED IF I DO. BUT WITH EVERY OTHER BEAT I GOT LEFT IN MY HEART, YOU KNOW I'D RATHER BE DAMNED WITH YOU. IF I GOTTA BE DAMNED, YOU KNOW I WANNA BE DAMNED, DANCING THROUGH THE NIGHT WITH YOU. IF I GOTTA BE DAMNED, YOU KNOW I WANNA BE DAMNED, GOTTA BE DAMNED, YOU KNOW I WANNA BE DAMNED, GOTTA BE DAMNED, YOU KNOW I WANNA BE DAMNED, DANCING THROUGH THE NIGHT, DANCING THROUGH THE NIGHT, DANCING THROUGH THE NIGHT WITH YOU. OH, THE SIRENS ARE SCREAMING AND THE FIRES ARE HOWLING WAY DOWN IN THE VALLEY TONIGHT. THERE'S A MAN IN THE SHADOWS WITH A GUN IN HIS EYE, AND A BLADE SHINING OH, SO BRIGHT. THERE'S EVIL IN THE AIR AND THERE'S THUNDER IN THE SKY, AND A KILLER'S ON THE BLOODSHOT STREETS. AND DOWN IN THE TUNNEL WHERE THE DEADLY ARE RISING, OH, I SWEAR I SAW A YOUNG BOY DOWN IN THE GUTTER, HE WAS STARTING TO FOAM IN THE HEAT. OH, BABY, YOU'RE THE ONLY THING IN THIS WHOLE WORLD THAT'S PURE AND GOOD AND RIGHT. AND WHEREVER YOU ARE, AND WHEREVER YOU GO, THERE'S ALWAYS GONNA BE SOME LIGHT. BUT I GOTTA GET OUT, I GOTTA BREAK IT OUT NOW, BEFORE THE FINAL CRACK OF DAWN. SO WE GOTTA MAKE THE MOST OF OUR ONE NIGHT TOGETHER, WHEN IT'S OVER YOU KNOW, WE'LL BOTH BE SO ALONE. LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL, I'LL BE GONE WHEN THE MORNING COMES. WHEN THE NIGHT IS OVER, LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL, I'LL BE GONE, GONE, GONE. LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL, I'LL BE GONE WHEN THE MORNING COMES. BUT WHEN THE DAY IS DONE AND THE SUN GOES DOWN AND THE MOONLIGHT'S SHINING THROUGH... THEN LIKE A SINNER BEFORE THE GATES OF HEAVEN, I'LL COME CRAWLING ON BACK TO YOU. THEN LIKE A SINNER BEFORE THE GATES OF HEAVEN, I'LL COME CRAWLING ON BACK TO YOU. I CAN SEE MYSELF TEARING UP THE ROAD, FASTER THAN ANY OTHER BOY HAS EVER GONE. AND MY SKIN IS RAW BUT MY SOUL IS RIPE, AND NO ONE'S GONNA STOP ME NOW, I'M GONNA MAKE MY ESCAPE! BUT I CAN'T STOP THINKING OF YOU, AND I NEVER SEE THE SUDDEN CURVE TILL IT'S WAY TOO LATE. AND I NEVER SEE THE SUDDEN CURVE TILL IT'S WAY TOO LATE. THEN I'M DYING AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PIT IN THE BLAZING SUN. TORN AND TWISTED AT THE FOOT OF A BURNING BIKE. AND I THINK SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE MUST BE TOLLING A BELL. AND THE LAST THING I SEE IS MY HEART STILL BEATING. BREAKING OUT OF MY BODY, AND FLYING AWAY, LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL! THEN I'M DYING AT THE BOTTOM OF A PIT IN THE BLAZING SUN. TORN AND TWISTED AT THE FOOT OF A BURNING BIKE. AND I THINK SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE MUST BE TOLLING A BELL. AND THE LAST THING I SEE IS MY HEART, STILL BEATING... STILL BEATING. BREAKING OUT OF MY BODY AND FLYING AWAY, LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL! LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL! LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL! LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL! LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL! LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL!

Lyrics	EV'RY NIGHT I GRAB SOME MONEY AND I GO DOWN TO THE BAR. I GOT MY BUDDIES AND A BEER, I GOT A DREAM, I NEED A CAR. YOU GOT ME BEGGING ON MY KNEES, COME ON AND THROW THE DOG A BONE, A MAN, HE DOESN'T LIVE BY ROCK 'N ROLL AND BREW ALONE. BABY, BABY, ROCK 'N ROLL AND BREW, ROCK 'N ROLL AND BREW, THEY DON'T MEAN A THING WHEN I COMPARE 'EM NEXT TO YOU. ROCK 'N ROLL AND BREW, ROCK 'N ROLL AND BREW, I KNOW THAT YOU AND I, OH, WE GOT BETTER THINGS TO DO. I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE OR WHAT YOU DO OR WHERE YOU GO WHEN YOU'RE NOT AROUND. I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT YOU, BABY, BUT YOU'RE EV'RYTHING I'M DREAMIN' OF. I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE, BUT YOU'RE A REAL DEAD RINGER FOR LOVE. A REAL DEAD RINGER FOR LOVE. EVER SINCE I CAN REMEMBER YOU BEEN HANGIN' 'ROUND THIS JOINT. YOU BEEN TRYIN' TO LOOK AWAY BUT NOW YOU FINALLY GET THE POINT. I DON'T HAVE TO KNOW YOUR NAME AND I WON'T TELL YOU WHAT TO DO, BUT A GIRL, SHE DOESN'T LIVE BY ONLY ROCK 'N ROLL AND BREW. BABY, BABY, BABY, BABY, ROCK 'N ROLL AND BREW, ROCK 'N ROLL AND BREW, THEY DON'T MEAN A THING WHEN I COMPARE 'EM NEXT TO YOU. ROCK 'N ROLL AND BREW, ROCK 'N ROLL AND BREW, I KNOW THAT YOU AND I, OH, WE GOT BETTER THINGS TO DO. I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE OR WHAT YOU DO OR WHERE YOU GO WHEN YOU'RE NOT AROUND. I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT YOU, BABY, BUT YOU'RE EV'RYTHING I'M DREAMIN' OF. I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE, BUT YOU'RE A REAL DEAD RINGER FOR LOVE. A REAL DEAD RINGER FOR LOVE. Boy: OO, YOU GOT THE KIND OF LEGS THAT DO MORE THAN WALK. Girl: I DON'T HAVE TO LISTEN TO YOUR WHIMPERING TALK. Boy: YOU GOT THE KIND OF EYES THAT DO MORE THAN SEE. Girl: YOU GOT A LOT OF NERVE TO COME ON TO ME. Boy: YOU GOT THE KIND OF LIPS THAT DO MORE THAN DRINK. Girl: YOU GOT THE KIND OF MIND THAT DOES LESS THAN THINK. BUT SINCE I'M FEELING KINDA LONELY, MY DEFENSES ARE LOW, WHY DON'T WE GIVE IT A SHOT AND GET IT READY TO GO? I'M LOOKING FOR ANONYMOUS AND FLEETING SATISFACTION, I'M GONNA TELL MY DADDY I'LL BE MISSING IN ACTION. EVER SINCE I CAN REMEMBER I'VE BEEN HANGIN' 'ROUND THIS JOINT. MY DADDY NEVER NOTICED, NOW HE'LL FINALLY GET THE POINT. YOU GOT ME BEGGIN' ON MY KNEES, COME ON AND THROW THE DOG A BONE. A MAN, HE DOESN'T LIVE BY ROCK 'N ROLL AND BREW ALONE. BABY, BABY, BABY, BABY, ROCK 'N ROLL AND BREW, ROCK 'N ROLL AND BREW, I KNOW THAT YOU AND I, OH, WE GOT BETTER THINGS TO DO. ROCK 'N ROLL AND BREW, ROCK 'N ROLL AND BREW, THEY DON'T MEAN A THING WHEN I COMPARE 'EM NEXT TO YOU. I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE, OR WHAT YOU DO, OR WHERE YOU GO. WHEN YOU'RE NOT AROUND. I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT YOU, BABY, BUT YOU'RE EV'RYTHING I'M DREAMIN' OF. I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE, BUT YOU'RE A REAL DEAD RINGER FOR LOVE. DEAD RINGER FOR LOVE. DEAD RINGER FOR LOVE. DEAD RINGER FOR LOVE. DEAD RINGER FOR LOVE. A REAL DEAD RINGER FOR LOVE.

Lyrics	WASTED YOUTH! WASTED YOUTH! OH. OH, OH. OH. I KNOW THAT I WILL NEVER BE POLITICALLY CORRECT, AND I DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT MY LACK OF ETIQUETTE. AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED THE WORLD COULD STILL BE FLAT AND IF THE THRILL IS GONE, THEN IT'S TIME TO TAKE IT BACK! IF THE THRILL IS GONE, THEN IT'S TIME TO TAKE IT BACK! WHO AM I? WHY AM I HERE? FORGET THE QUESTIONS! SOMEONE GIMME ANOTHER BEER! WHAT'S THE MEANING OF LIFE? WHAT'S THE MEANING OF IT ALL? YOU GOTTA LEARN TO DANCE BEFORE YOU LEARN TO CRAWL! YOU GOTTA LEARN TO DANCE BEFORE YOU LEARN TO CRAWL! SO, SIGN UP ALL YOU RAW RECRUITS. THROW AWAY THOSE DESIGNER SUITS. YOU GOT YOUR WEAPONS COCKED, AND YOUR TARGETS IN YOUR SIGHT. THERE'S A PARTY RAGING SOMEWHERE IN THE WORLD. YOU GOTTA SERVE YOUR COUNTRY, YOU GOTTA SERVICE YOUR GIRL. YOU'RE ALL ENLISTED IN THE ARMIES OF THE NIGHT. AND I AIN'T IN IT FOR THE POWER, AND I AIN'T IN IT FOR MY HEALTH. I AIN'T IN IT FOR THE GLORY OF ANYTHING AT ALL AND I SURE AIN'T IN IT FOR THE WEALTH. BUT I'M IN IT TILL IT'S OVER AND I JUST CAN'T STOP. IF YOU WANNA GET IT DONE, YOU GOT TO DO IT YOURSELF, AND I LIKE MY MUSIC LIKE I LIKE MY LIFE. EVERYTHING LOUDER THAN EVERYTHING ELSE! EVERYTHING LOUDER THAN EVERYTHING ELSE! EVERYTHING LOUDER THAN EVERYTHING ELSE! EVERYTHING LOUDER THAN EVERYTHING ELSE! EVERYTHING LOUDER THAN EVERYTHING ELSE! EVERYTHING LOUDER THAN EVERYTHING ELSE! WASTED YOUTH! WASTED YOUTH! AH! WASTED YOUTH! WASTED YOUTH! AH! THEY GOT A FILE ON ME AND IT'S A MILE LONG AND THEY SAY THAT THEY GOT ALL OF THE PROOF, THAT I'M JUST ANOTHER PIECE OF ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT AND JUST ANOTHER WASTED YOUTH. THEY SAY THAT I'M IN NEED OF SOME RADICAL DISCIPLINE, THEY SAY I GOTTA FACE THE TRUTH, THAT I'M JUST ANOTHER PIECE OF ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT AND JUST ANOTHER WASTED YOUTH. THEY SAY I'M WILD AND I'M RECKLESS. I SHOULD BE ACTING MY AGE. I'M AN IMPRESSIONABLE CHILD IN A TUMULTUOUS WORLD AND THEY SAY I'M AT A DIFFICULT STAGE. BUT IT SEEMS TO ME TO THE CONTRARY, OF ALL THE CRAP THEY'RE GOING TO PUT ON THE PAGE, THAT A WASTED YOUTH IS BETTER BY FAR THAN A WISE AND PRODUCTIVE OLD AGE! THAT A WASTED YOUTH IS BETTER BY FAR THAN A WISE AND PRODUCTIVE OLD AGE! THAT A WASTED YOUTH IS BETTER BY FAR THAN A WISE AND PRODUCTIVE OLD AGE! THAT A WASTED YOUTH IS BETTER BY FAR THAN A WISE AND PRODUCTIVE OLD AGE! LOUDER, LOUDER, LOUDER, LOUDER, LOUDER, LOUDER, LOUDER, LOUDER, LOUDER! IF YOU WANT MY VIEWS OF HIST'RY, THEN THERE'S SOMETHING YOU SHOULD KNOW THE THREE MEN I ADMIRE MOST ARE CURLY, LARRY AND MOE! IF YOU DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE FUTURE, SOONER OR LATER, IT'S THE PAST. AND IF THEY SAY THE THRILL IS GONE, THEN IT'S TIME TO TAKE IT BACK. IF THE THRILL IS GONE, THEN IT'S TIME TO TAKE IT BACK! SO, SIGN UP ALL YOU RAW RECRUITS. THROW AWAY THOSE TWO BIT SUITS. YOU GOT YOUR WEAPONS COCKED, AND YOUR TARGETS IN YOUR SIGHT. THERE'S A PARTY RAGING SOMEWHERE IN THE WORLD. YOU GOTTA SERVE YOUR COUNTRY, YOU GOTTA SERVICE YOUR GIRL. YOU'RE ALL INDUCTED IN THE ARMIES OF THE NIGHT. AND I AIN'T IN IT FOR THE POWER, AND I AIN'T IN IT FOR MY HEALTH. I AIN'T IN IT FOR THE GLORY OF ANYTHING AT ALL AND I SURE AIN'T IN IT FOR THE WEALTH. BUT I'M IN IT TILL IT'S OVER AND I JUST CAN'T STOP. IF YOU WANNA GET IT DONE, YOU GOT TO FIGHT FOR YOURSELF, AND I LIKE MY MUSIC LIKE I LIKE MY LIFE. EVERYTHING LOUDER THAN EVERYTHING ELSE! EVERYTHING LOUDER THAN EVERYTHING ELSE! EVERYTHING LOUDER THAN EVERYTHING ELSE! EVERYTHING LOUDER THAN EVERYTHING ELSE! EVERYTHING LOUDER THAN EVERYTHING ELSE! EVERYTHING LOUDER THAN EVERYTHING ELSE! EVERYTHING LOUDER THAN EVERYTHING ELSE! EVERYTHING LOUDER THAN EVERYTHING ELSE! EVERYTHING LOUDER THAN EVERYTHING ELSE!

Lyrics	I WAS LOST TILL YOU WERE FOUND, AND I NEVER KNEW HOW FAR DOWN I WAS FALLING BEFORE I REACHED THE BOTTOM. I WAS COLD AND YOU WERE FIRE, AND I NEVER KNEW HOW THE PYRE COULD BE BURNING ON THE EDGE OF THE ICE FIELD. AND NOW THE CHILLY CALIFORNIA WIND IS BLOWING DOWN OUR BODIES AGAIN, AND WE'RE SINKING DEEPER AND DEEPER IN THE CHILLY CALIFORNIA SAND. OH, I KNOW YOU BELONG INSIDE MY ACHING HEART, AND CAN'T YOU SEE MY FADED LEVI'S BURSTING APART. AND DON'T YOU HEAR ME CRYING, OH, BABE, DON'T GO! AND DON'T YOU HEAR ME SCREAMING, HOW WAS I TO KNOW? I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, NEAR THE END OF THE LINE, BUT THERE'S A BORDER TO SOMEWHERE WAITING, AND THERE'S A TANKFUL OF TIME. OH, GIVE ME JUST ANOTHER MOMENT TO SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY, AND TAKE ME TO ANOTHER LAND WHERE I DON'T HAVE TO STAY. AND I'M GONNA NEED SOMEBODY TO MAKE ME FEEL LIKE YOU DO. AND I WILL RECEIVE SOMEBODY WITH OPEN ARMS, OPEN EYES. OPEN UP THE SKY AND LET THE PLANET THAT I LOVE SHINE THROUGH! FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU. FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU. FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU! I WAS DAMNED AND YOU WERE SAVED, AND I NEVER KNEW HOW ENSLAVED I WAS KNEELING IN THE CHAINS OF MY MASTER. I COULD LAUGH AND YOU COULD CRY, AND I NEVER KNEW HOW HIGH I WAS FLYING WITH YOU RIGHT ABOVE ME. AND NOW THE CHILLY CALIFORNIA WIND IS BLOWING DOWN OUR BODIES AGAIN, AND WE'RE SINKING DEEPER AND DEEPER IN THE CHILLY CALIFORNIA SAND. OH, I KNOW YOU BELONG INSIDE MY ACHING HEART, AND CAN'T YOU SEE MY FADED LEVI'S BURSTING APART. AND DON'T YOU HEAR ME CRYING, OH, BABE, DON'T GO! AND DON'T YOU HEAR ME SCREAMING, HOW WAS I TO KNOW? I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, NEAR THE END OF THE LINE, BUT THERE'S A BORDER TO SOMEWHERE WAITING, AND THERE'S A TANKFUL OF TIME. OH, GIVE ME JUST ANOTHER MOMENT TO SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY, AND TAKE ME TO ANOTHER LAND WHERE I DON'T HAVE TO STAY. AND I'M GONNA NEED SOMEBODY TO MAKE ME FEEL LIKE YOU DO. AND I WILL RECEIVE SOMEBODY WITH OPEN ARMS, OPEN EYES. OPEN UP THE SKY AND LET THE PLANET THAT I LOVE SHINE THROUGH! FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU. FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU. OH, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU. FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU... FOR TAKING IN THE RAIN WHEN I'M FEELING SO DRY, FOR GIVING ME THE ANSWERS WHEN I'M ASKING YOU WHY, AND MY, OH MY, FOR THAT I THANK YOU. FOR TAKING IN THE SUN WHEN I'M FEELING SO COLD, FOR GIVING ME A CHILD WHEN MY BODY IS OLD, AND DON'T YOU KNOW, FOR THAT I NEED YOU. FOR COMING TO MY ROOM WHEN YOU KNOW I'M ALONE, FOR FINDING ME A HIGHWAY, FOR DRIVING ME HOME, AND YOU GOTTA KNOW, FOR THAT I SERVE YOU. FOR PULLING ME AWAY WHEN I'M STARTING TO FALL, FOR REVVING ME UP WHEN I'M STARTING TO STALL, AND ALL IN ALL, FOR THAT I WANT YOU. FOR TAKING AND FOR GIVING AND FOR PLAYING THE GAME, FOR PRAYING FOR MY FUTURE IN THE DAYS THAT REMAIN. OH, LORD, FOR THAT I HOLD YOU. AH, BUT MOST OF ALL, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, FOR THAT I LOVE YOU. AH, BUT MOST OF ALL, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, FOR THAT I LOVE YOU. AH, BUT MOST OF ALL, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, FOR THAT I LOVE YOU. WHEN YOU'RE CRYING OUT LOUD, YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU.

Lyrics	HEAVEN CAN WAIT, AND A BAND OF ANGELS, WRAPPED UP IN MY HEART, WILL TAKE ME THROUGH THE LONELY NIGHT, THROUGH THE COLD OF THE DAY. AND I KNOW, I KNOW HEAVEN CAN WAIT, AND ALL THE GODS COME DOWN HERE JUST TO SING FOR ME. AND THE MELODY'S GONNA MAKE ME FLY, WITHOUT PAIN, WITHOUT FEAR. GIVE ME ALL OF YOUR DREAMS AND LET ME GO ALONG ON YOUR WAY. GIVE ME ALL OF YOUR PRAYERS TO SING, AND I'LL TURN THE NIGHT INTO THE SKYLIGHT OF DAY. I'VE GOT A TASTE OF PARADISE, I'M NEVER GONNA LET IT SLIP AWAY. I GOT A TASTE OF PARADISE, IT'S ALL I REALLY NEED TO MAKE ME STAY JUST LIKE A CHILD AGAIN. HEAVEN CAN WAIT, AND ALL I GOT IS TIME UNTIL THE END OF TIME. I WON'T LOOK BACK, I WON'T LOOK BACK, LET THE ALTAR SHINE. AND I KNOW THAT I'VE BEEN RELEASED, BUT I DON'T KNOW TO WHERE. NOBODY'S GONNA TELL ME NOW, AND I DON'T REALLY CARE, NO, NO, NO. I GOT A TASTE OF PARADISE, THAT'S ALL I REALLY NEED TO MAKE ME STAY. I GOT A TASTE OF PARADISE, IF I HAD IT ANY SOONER, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW I NEVER WOULD HAVE RUN AWAY FROM MY HOME. HEAVEN CAN WAIT, AND ALL I GOT IS TIME UNTIL THE END OF TIME. I WON'T LOOK BACK, I WON'T LOOK BACK, LET THE ALTAR SHINE. HEAVEN CAN WAIT, HEAVEN CAN WAIT. I WON'T LOOK BACK, I WON'T LOOK BACK. LET THE ALTAR SHINE. LET THE ALTAR SHINE.

BUT I'LL NEVER FORGET THE WAY YOU FEEL RIGHT NOW, OH NO, NO WAY. AND I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR LOVE, BUT I WON'T DO THAT. NO, I WON'T DO THAT.

AS LONG AS THE PLANETS ARE TURNING, AS LONG AS THE STARS ARE BURNING, AS LONG AS YOUR DREAMS ARE COMING TRUE, YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT THAT I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR LOVE. OH, I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR LOVE. OH, I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR LOVE, BUT I WON'T DO THAT. NO, I WON'T DO THAT. I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR LOVE, ANYTHING YOU'VE BEEN DREAMING OF, BUT I JUST WON'T DO THAT. I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR LOVE, ANYTHING YOU'VE BEEN DREAMING OF, BUT I JUST WON'T DO... SOME DAYS I PRAY FOR SILENCE, SOME DAYS I PRAY FOR SOUL. SOME DAYS I JUST PRAY TO THE GOD OF SEX AND DRUMS AND ROCK 'N ROLL. MAYBE I'M LONELY, AND THAT'S ALL I'M QUALIFIED TO BE. THERE'S JUST ONE AND ONLY, THE ONE AND ONLY PROMISE I CAN KEEP. AS LONG AS THE WHEELS ARE TURNING, AS LONG AS THE FIRES ARE BURNING, AS LONG AS YOUR PRAYERS ARE COMING TRUE, YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT THAT I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR LOVE AND YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE AND THAT'S A FACT. I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR LOVE, AND THERE'LL NEVER BE NO TURNING BACK. BUT I'LL NEVER DO IT BETTER THAN I DO IT WITH YOU. SO LONG, SO LONG. AND I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR LOVE. OH, I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR LOVE. I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR LOVE, BUT I WON'T DO THAT, NO, NO, NO, I WON'T DO THAT. WILL YOU RAISE ME UP, WILL YOU HELP ME DOWN? WILL YOU GET ME RIGHT OUT OF THE GODFORSAKEN TOWN? WILL YOU MAKE IT A LITTLE LESS COLD? I CAN DO THAT, OH NO, I CAN DO THAT. WILL YOU CATER TO EV'RY FANTASY I GOT? WILL YOU HOSE ME DOWN WITH HOLY WATER IF I GET TOO HOT? WILL YOU TAKE ME PLACES I'VE NEVER GONE? I CAN DO THAT, OH NO, I CAN DO THAT I KNOW THE TERRITORY. I'VE BEEN AROUND. IT'LL ALL TURN TO DUST AND WE'LL ALL FALL DOWN. SOONER OR LATER YOU'LL BE SCREWING AROUND. I WON'T DO THAT. NO, I WONT DO THAT. ANYTHING FOR LOVE, BUT I WON'T DO THAT.

THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING GOING WRONG. THAT'S THE ONLY GUARANTEE. THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT. IT'S A NEVER ENDING ATTACK. EV'RYTHING'S A LIE AND THAT'S A FACT.

Lyrics	THE SKIES WERE PURE AND THE FIELDS WERE GREEN, AND THE SUN WAS BRIGHTER THAN ITS EVER BEEN. WHEN I GREW UP WITH MY BEST FRIEND. KENNY, WE WERE CLOSE AS ANY BROTHERS THAT YOU EVER KNEW. IT WAS ALWAYS SUMMER AND THE FUTURE CALLED, WE WERE READY FOR THE ADVENTURES AND WE WANTED THEM ALL, AND THERE WAS SO MUCH LEFT TO DREAM AND SO MUCH TIME TO MAKE IT REAL. BUT I CAN STILL RECALL THE STING OF ALL THE TEARS WHEN HE WAS GONE. THEY SAID HE CRASHED AND BURNED. I KNOW I'LL NEVER LEARN WHY ANY BOY SHOULD DIE SO YOUNG. WE WERE RACING WE WERE SOLDIERS OF FORTUNE. WE GOT IN TROUBLE BUT WE SURE GOT AROUND. THERE ARE TIMES I THINK I SEE HIM PEELING OUT OF THE DARK. I THINK HE'S RIGHT BEHIND ME, NOW, AND HE'S GAINING GROUND! BUT IT WAS LONG AGO AND IT WAS FAR AWAY. OH GOD, IT SEEMS SO VERY FAR, AND IF LIFE IS JUST A HIGHWAY, THEN THE SOUL IS JUST A CAR. AND OBJECTS IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR MAY APPEAR CLOSER THAN THEY ARE, AND OBJECTS IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR MAY APPEAR CLOSER THAN THEY ARE. AND OBJECTS IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR MAY APPEAR CLOSER THAN THEY ARE, AND OBJECTS IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR MAY APPEAR CLOSER THAN THEY ARE. THEY ARE. AND WHEN THE SUN DESCENDED AND THE NIGHT AROSE, I HEARD MY FATHER CURSING EVERYONE HE KNOWS. HE WAS DANGEROUS AND DRUNK AND DEFEATED, AND CORRODED BY FAILURE AND ENVY AND HATE. THERE WERE ENDLESS WINTERS AND THE DREAMS WOULD FREEZE, NO WHERE TO HIDE AND NO LEAVES ON TREES, AND MY FATHER'S EYES WERE BLANK AS HE HIT ME AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN. I KNOW I STILL BELIEVE HE'D NEVER LET ME LEAVE. I HAD TO RUN AWAY ALONE. SO MANY THREATS AND FEARS, SO MANY WASTED YEARS BEFORE MY LIFE BECAME MY OWN. AND THOUGH THE NIGHTMARES SHOULD BE OVER, SOME OF THE TERRORS ARE STILL INTACT. I'LL HEAR THAT UGLY, COARSE AND VIOLENT VOICE AND THEN HIS GRABS ARE FROM BEHIND AND THEN HE PULLS ME BACK! BUT IT WAS LONG AGO AND IT WAS FAR AWAY. OH GOD, IT SEEMS SO VERY FAR, AND IF LIFE IS JUST A HIGHWAY, THEN THE SOUL IS JUST A CAR. AND OBJECTS IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR MAY APPEAR CLOSER THAN THEY ARE, AND OBJECTS IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR MAY APPEAR CLOSER THAN THEY ARE. AND OBJECTS IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR MAY APPEAR CLOSER THAN THEY ARE, AND OBJECTS IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR MAY APPEAR CLOSER THAN THEY ARE. THEY ARE. THERE WAS A BEAUTY LIVING ON THE EDGE OF TOWN, AND SHE ALWAYS PUT THE TOP UP AND THE HAMMER DOWN. AND SHE TAUGHT ME EVERYTHING I'LL EVER KNOW, ABOUT THE MYSTERY AND THE MUSCLE OF LOVE. THE STARE WOULD GLIMMER AND THE MOON WOULD GLOW, I'M IN THE BACK SEAT WITH MY JULIE LIKE ROMEO. AND THE SIGNS ALONG THE HIGHWAY ALL SAID, CAUTION! KIDS AT PLAY! THOSE WERE THE RIGHTS OF SPRING AND WE DID EVERYTHING THERE WAS SALVATION EVERY NIGHT. WE GOT OUR DREAMS REBORN AND OUR UPHOLSTERY TORN BUT EVERYTHING WE TRIED WAS RIGHT. SHE USED MY BODY JUST LIKE A BANDAGE. SHE USED MY BODY JUST LIKE A WOUND. I'LL PROBABLY NEVER KNOW WHERE SHE DISAPPEARED BUT I CAN SEE HER RISING UP OUT OF THE BACK SEAT NOW, JUST LIKE AN ANGEL RISING UP FROM A TOMB! BUT IT WAS LONG AGO AND IT WAS FAR AWAY. OH GOD, IT SEEMS SO VERY FAR, AND IF LIFE IS JUST A HIGHWAY, THEN THE SOUL IS JUST A CAR. AND OBJECTS IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR MAY APPEAR CLOSER THAN THEY ARE, AND OBJECTS IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR MAY APPEAR CLOSER THAN THEY ARE. AND OBJECTS IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR MAY APPEAR CLOSER THAN THEY ARE, AND OBJECTS IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR MAY APPEAR CLOSER THAN THEY ARE.

AND I NEVER HAD A GIRL LOOKING ANY BETTER THAN YOU DID, AND ALL THE KIDS AT SCHOOL, THEY WERE WISHING THEY WERE ME THAT NIGHT. AND NOW OUR BODIES ARE OH, SO CLOSE AND TIGHT.

Baseball Play-By-Play On The Car Radio: O.K., here we go, we got a real pressure cooker going here, two down, nobody on, no score, bottom of the ninth, there's the wind-up, and there it is, a line shot up the middle, look at him go, This boy can really fly! He's rounding first and really turning it on now, he's not letting up at all, he's gonna try for second the ball is bobbled out in center, and here comes the throw, and what a throw! He's gonna slide in head first, here he comes, he's out! No, wait, safe - safe at second base, this kid really makes things happen out there. Batter steps up to the plate, here's the pitch - he's going, and what a jump he's got, he's trying for third, here's the throw, it's in the dirt - safe at third! Holy cow, stolen base! He's taking a pretty big lead out there, almost daring him to try and pick him off. The pitcher glances over, winds up, and it's bunted, bunted down the third base line, the suicide squeeze is on! Here he comes, squeeze play, it's gonna be close, here's the throw, here's the play at the plate, holy cow, I think he's gonna make it! II. LET ME SLEEP ON IT sung: Girl: STOP RIGHT THERE!

PRAYING FOR THE END OF TIME Boy: I COULDN'T TAKE IT ANY LONGER, LORD, I WAS CRAZED, AND WHEN THE FEELING CAME UPON ME LIKE A TIDAL WAVE, I STARTED SWEARING TO MY GOD AND ON MY MOTHER'S GRAVE THAT I WOULD LOVE YOU TILL THE END OF TIME, I SWORE THAT I WOULD LOVE YOU TILL THE END OF TIME! SO NOW I'M PRAYING FOR THE END OF TIME TO HURRY UP AND ARRIVE. 'CAUSE IF I GOTTA SPEND ANOTHER MINUTE WITH YOU, I DON'T THINK I CAN REALLY SURVIVE. I'LL NEVER BREAK MY PROMISE OR FORGET MY VOW, BUT GOD ONLY KNOWS WHAT I CAN DO RIGHT NOW. I'M PRAYING FOR THE END OF TIME, IT'S ALL THAT I CAN DO. PRAYING FOR THE END OF TIME SO I CAN END MY TIME WITH YOU. WELL, IT WAS LONG AGO, AND IT WAS FAR AWAY, AND IT WAS SO MUCH BETTER THAN IT IS TODAY! WELL, IT WAS LONG AGO, AND IT WAS FAR AWAY, AND IT WAS SO MUCH BETTER THAN IT IS TODAY! WELL, IT WAS LONG AGO, AND IT WAS FAR AWAY, AND IT WAS SO MUCH BETTER THAN IT IS TODAY! WELL, IT WAS LONG AGO, AND IT WAS FAR AWAY, AND IT WAS SO MUCH BETTER THAN IT IS TODAY!

Writers	Jim Steinman

Genres	Classic Rock, Rock, Pop, Ballad

Recorded	1984

Lyrics	I'VE BEEN TRYIN' FOR HOURS JUST TO THINK OF WHAT EXACTLY TO SAY. I THOUGHT I'D LEAVE YOU WITH A LETTER OR A FIERY SPEECH, LIKE WHEN AN ACTOR MAKES AN EXIT AT THE END OF A PLAY. AND I'VE BEEN DYIN' FOR HOURS TRYIN' TO FILL UP ALL THE HOLES WITH SOME SENSE. I'D LIKE TO KNOW HOW YOU FADED AND YOU THREW IT AWAY, I'D LIKE TO GIVE YOU ALL THE REASONS AND WHAT EV'RYTHING MEANT. WELL, I COULD TELL YOU, GOODBYE, OR MAYBE, SEE YOU AROUND, WITH JUST A TOUCH OF A SARCASTIC THANKS. WE STARTED OUT WITH A BANG AND AT THE TOP OF THE WORLD, NOW THE GUNS ARE EXHAUSTED AND THE BULLETS ARE BLANKS. AND EV'RYTHING'S BLANK. IF I COULD ONLY FIND THE WORDS, THEN I WOULD WRITE IT ALL DOWN, IF I COULD ONLY FIND A VOICE, I WOULD SPEAK. OH, IT'S THERE IN MY EYES, OH, CAN'T YOU SEE ME TONIGHT, COME ON AND LOOK AT ME AND READ 'EM AND WEEP. IF I COULD ONLY FIND THE WORDS, THEN I WOULD WRITE IT ALL DOWN, IF I COULD ONLY FIND A VOICE, I WOULD SPEAK. OH, IT'S THERE IN MY EYES, OH, CAN'T YOU SEE ME TONIGHT, COME ON AND LOOK AT ME AND READ 'EM AND WEEP. I'VE BEEN WHISPERING SOFTLY TRYIN' TO BUILD A CRY UP TO A SCREAM. WE LET THE PAST SLIP AWAY AND PUT THE FUTURE ON HOLD, NOW THE PRESENT IS NOTHING BUT A HOLLOWED OUT DREAM. AND I'VE BEEN DYIN' FOR HOURS TRYIN' TO FILL UP ALL THE HOLES WITH SOME SENSE. I'D LIKE TO KNOW HOW YOU FADED AND YOU THREW IT AWAY, I'D LIKE TO GIVE YOU ALL THE REASONS AND WHAT EV'RYTHING MEANT. WELL, I COULD TELL YOU, GOODBYE, OR MAYBE, SEE YOU AROUND, WITH JUST A TOUCH OF A SARCASTIC THANKS. BUT NOW THE ROOMS ARE ALL EMPTY, THE CANDLES ARE DARK, HE GUNS ARE EXHAUSTED AND THE BULLETS ARE BLANKS. AND EV'RYTHING'S BLANK. IF I COULD ONLY FIND THE WORDS, THEN I WOULD WRITE IT ALL DOWN, IF I COULD ONLY FIND A VOICE, I WOULD SPEAK. OH, IT'S THERE IN MY EYES, OH, CAN'T YOU SEE ME TONIGHT, COME ON AND LOOK AT ME AND READ 'EM AND WEEP. OH, IT'S THERE IN MY EYES AND COMIN' STRAIGHT FROM MY HEART, IT'S RUNNIN' SILENT AND ANGRY AND DEEP. OH, IT'S THERE IN MY EYES AND IT'S ALL I CAN SAY, COME ON AND LOOK AT ME AND READ 'EM AND WEEP. READ 'EM AND WEEP FOR ALL THE HOURS WE'LL BE SPENDING ALONE, READ 'EM AND WEEP FOR ALL THE DREAMS WE'LL IGNORE. RUNNING SILENT AND DEEP AND ALL THE PROMISES WE PROMISED TO KEEP, THEY WON'T BE KEPT ANYMORE. READ 'EM AND WEEP FOR THE MAGIC THAT OUR BODIES HAD MADE, READ 'EM AND WEEP FOR THE BLOOD THAT WE'VE LOST, RUNNING SILENT AND DEEP AND ALL THOSE SECRETS THAT WE SOMEHOW BETRAYED FOR WHATEVER THE COST. READ 'EM AND WEEP FOR THOSE MEMORIES STILL ALIVE IN THE BED, READ 'EM AND WEEP FOR THE LIES WE BELIEVED, RUNNING SILENT AND DEEP AND ALL THE THINGS THAT CAN NEVER BE SAID. WHY DON'T YOU LOOK AT ME AND READ 'EM AND WEEP. COME ON AND LOOK AT ME A ND READ 'EM AND WEEP. IT'S THERE IN MY EYES AND COMIN' STRAIGHT FROM MY HEART, IT'S RUNNIN' SILENT AND ANGRY AND DEEP. IT'S THERE IN MY EYES IT'S ALL I CAN SAY, COME ON AND LOOK AT ME AND READ EM' AND WEEP.
