The revolution by night

Strange shapes light up the night

Never seen them though I hope I might

Don't ask if they are real

The men in black, their lips are sealed



Fantasy it fills my mind

To leave this place before my time

Release myself from earthly care

My dream may be your nightmare



I turn my hopes up to the sky

I'd like to know before I die

Memories will slowly fade

I lift my eyes and say

Come on, take me away

Come on, take me away



Come here, girl, close to me

A thousand stars your eye can see

First star we see tonight

I wish I may I wish I might



I turn my hopes up to the sky

I'd like to know before I die

Memories will slowly fade

I lift my eyes and say

Come on, take me away

Come on, take me away



I turn my hopes up to the sky

I'd like to know before I die

Memories will slowly fade

I lift my eyes and say

Come on, take me away

At the stroke of midnight

Staring at the phone

For the millionth time I'm all alone



I'm the guy she turns to

When her lovers leave

I'm the wildcard 

She's got up her sleeve

But she don't look at me 



With eyes on fire

Glowing like coals in the night

Hungry eyes

Burning with love and desire



I'm like a long-lost brother

I'm closer than her friends

The only one on whom she can depend



She thinks I'm sweet and gentle

She thinks the world of me

But late at night I'm not the one she needs

She never looks at me 



With eyes on fire

Glowing like coals in the night

Hungry eyes

Burning with love and desire



Don't she, don't you see 

I'm crying out loud

Can't she tell I need her now



She never looks at me with 

Eyes on fire

Glowing like coals in the night

Hungry eyes

Burning with love and desire



She never looks at me with

Eyes on fire

Glowing like coals in the night

Hungry eyes

Reaching for me in the night

Well I bumped inside the magic man

And he laid some tricks on me

He said, "You do need help my friend"

I whispered, "Obviously"

He laid a spread of Jacks and Queens

And he bade me take my pick

But every face it had your face

I cried out, "I am sick"



Sick of hauling your love around

Want to run the train alone

But the engine tracks straight through your heart

And weighs me like a stone



Oh, it's a hard load to love you

It takes up all my time, having you 

So familiar

Like last life's 

Nursery rhyme



So I gave away the pictures

And your golden ring

And the phone calls you sent me

And the silver birds that sing

Then the man he told me something

That really brought me down

Your things were thrown away, it's true

But you were still in town



Sick of hauling your love around

Wanna run the train alone

But the engine tracks straight through your heart

And weighs me like a stone



Oh, it's a hard load to love you

It takes up all my time, having you 

So familiar

Like last life's 

Nursery rhyme



The magician let a message

It flashes when I hide

Accept the chains of loving

Accept or else remove yourself from her side

And do without her love

And I lay back with a steel chain

I keep it by my side

I could mail a letter to you but I still

Have my pride



Sick of hauling your love around

Wanna run the train alone

But the engine tracks straight through your heart

And weighs me like a stone



Three times I've sent you back from me

Three times my bones gone dry

And three times I've seen the shooting shark

Lighting up the sky



Oh, it's a hard load to love you, babe

It takes my breath away

The fourth time round

Is the last time round

There's nothing else to say

I open my eyes

From a dreamless night

With a sense of dread

You could cut with a knife

So I'm thinking that

Maybe I killed somebody

You never know - you never know when

You might have killed somebody



Veins in my eyeballs

Damage that I've done

Veins on the stairway

Veins in my skull



I visit my friend

We have a fight

I'm drinking his whiskey

I'm wanting his wife

Then the image goes black

Did I kill somebody?

'Cause there ain't no clue, there's no clue

That I killed somebody



Veins in my eardrum

Banging at my door

Veins in my brainwaves

Veins on the floor



I get the shivers 

And I've got the shakes

People screaming my name

Like there's no mistake

Can't believe it's true

Did I kill somebody?

But I just don't know, I don't know

Did I kill somebody?



Veins on the sidewalk

Veins know the score

Veins in my mind, oh

Veins evermore

Beneath the freeway at the cloverleaf junction

A symbol of good luck eminates darkness

The shadow will grow to cover California

Somewhere on the road from San Bernadino

Its future is steering the past ... will not pass



Speed is the game in the shadow of kings

Where the company of angels fly

They appear at the crossroads at once in the future

Clad in the darkness on the highways of night

With no love ... from the past



Night makes right

The symbol remains

Into the darkness

Must pour the brains

In the shadow of California



Revolution by night grant me this future

Kings of the shadow on the highways of night

From San Bernadino these angels are racing

This night to your city

The host of angels ... Los Angeles



Night makes right

The symbol remains

Into the darkness

Must pour the brains

In the shadow of California

Slicing throught the night 

Three riders came

Perched on American steel 

Riders with no name

Even time cannot reveal 

Riders with no name



On October 31st many years ago 

Three friends went out for a ride 

For it was a famous party night 

And to party was to get high

They loaded up on beer and cocaine

Then they started their bikes with a roar

They couldn't have known that on that night

They were beginning their longest tour



Feel the thunder 

Of the midnight ride

Earth torn asunder 

By those who died



Onto their favorite road they rode

Leather horsemen riding three wide

Their metal beasts howled in the night

A dark spectre was their guide

They came around a curve too fast

Only time for a scream

A fiery crash of chrome and steel

Was the beginning of their longest dream



Feel the thunder 

Of the midnight ride

Earth torn asunder 

By those who died



Feel the thunder 

Of the midnight ride

Earth torn asunder 

By those who died



And the fates decreed on that night 

Their souls must be tried 

Now you can hear them every All Hallows Eve 

Forever doomed to ride



Slicing throught the night 

Three riders came

Perched on American steel 

Riders with no name

Even time cannot reveal 

Riders with no name



Feel the thunder 

Of the midnight ride

Earth torn asunder 

By those who died

Hell-bent for leather on a moonlit night

There's a hot wind blowin'

Better hold on tight to your soul



Blue fire rising up from the deep

Burning the world when it's tryin' to sleep



So let go

Let go

Let go



Let go

Let go

Let go

C'mon let yourself go



BOC

You can be whatever you want to be

You've got the power

We've got the key

Yeah, BOC



You're a rebel and you got no friends

We all know that it all depends on rock and roll



Do you feel like they're keeping you down

Ain't no fun with your feet on the ground



So let go

Let go

Let go



Let go

Let go

Let go

Yeah let yourself go



BOC

You can be whatever you want to be

You've got the power

We've got the key

BOC



Gimme guitar, Buck Dharma

Out of the smoke at the dawn of man

Out of the ocean across the sand

Reaching forth with her ancient hand

Dragon Lady



Out of the flames of a man's desire

A hair-raising voice from an evil choir

Reigning down like a freezing fire

Dragon Lady



She appears mysteriously

You don't take her seriously

Until you're under her spell



Dragon Lady takes you by the heart

Dragon Lady takes you by the heart

Try to run but before you start

Dragon Lady's got you by the heart

Dragon Lady takes you by the heart

Dragon Lady's got you 

She won't let go



Terrible lightning flashes across the sky

When the Dragon Lady shows you how to fly

Terrible lightning flashes across the sky

When the Dragon Lady shows you how to cry



Out of the cage in the center ring

Out of the crowd and straight to the king

Who's out of his mind with her mystical thing

Dragon Lady



Out of the dream and into the night

A final look makes you die of fright

No one there in the candle light

Dragon Lady



She appears outrageously

You take her courageously

Until you're under her spell



Dragon Lady takes you by the heart

Dragon Lady takes you by the heart

Try to run but before you start

Dragon Lady's got you by the heart

Dragon Lady takes you by the heart

The Dragon Lady's got you 

And she won't let go



Terrible lightning flashes across the sky

When the Dragon Lady shows you how to fly

Terrible lightning flashes across the sky

And the Dragon Lady's laughing as you die

When we met it was a white hot star

The speed of light between two hearts

It felt like love, it sounds bizarre

But in your eyes I could see so far



Baby, baby shouldn't know no fear

Was it an angel who brought us here

Old, old souls but the love goes on

Changing life into a song



Into light years, light years of love

Light years, light years of love

Of love

Of love



Our love is like the shining sea

In salty foam we can feel so free

Caress the night with our cool skin

In your arms I can be everything



We got light years, light years of love

Light years, light years of love

Of love

Of love
