Spectres

With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound

He pulls the spitting high tension wires down

 

Helpless people on a subway train

Scream bug-eyed as he looks in on them

 

He picks up a bus and he throws it back down

As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town

 

Oh no, they say he's got to go 

Go go Godzilla, yeah

Oh no, there goes Tokyo 

Go go Godzilla, yeah

 

Rinji news o moshiagemasu!

Rinji news o moshiagemasu!

Godzilla ga Ginza hoomen e mukatte imasu!

Daishkyu hinan shite kudasai!

Daishkyu hinan shite kudasai!



Oh no, they say he's got to go 

Go go Godzilla, yeah

Oh no, there goes Tokyo 

Go go Godzilla, yeah



History shows again and again

How nature points up the folly of men

Godzilla!

Raise your can of beer on high

And seal your fate forever

Our best years have past us by

The golden age of leather

 

This was the night not long to come 

In the year of our Lord A.D.

Where in a desert way-house poised on the brink of eternity

Four and ninety studded horsemen closed the knot of honor

As only drunken soldiers can

 

And passed from man to man

A wanton child to dead to care

That each would find his pleasure as he might

For this fantastic night was billed 

As nothing less than the end of an age

A last crusade

A final outrage

In this day of flaccid plumage

 

And there was worn no cloth but leather

Made supple by years of stinging cinders

And here were seen the scars of age

For age had been the common call for one last night together

 

Dawn colored the sky......The ritual ceased

Some had died.............They were buried with their bikes

Each grabbed a rag........From a man with a sack

Torn strips of color......The red and the black

 

I cam here willingly

And I will go down valiantly

We made a vow 

To give it all we had to give

We made a vow 

To die as we had lived

 

They flew the colors they began to fight

They flailed at each other like bugs at a light

Bodies and bikes beyond repair

Smell of oil and gas in the air

 

Then the wind whipped the desert with a giant hand

And the humans and the Harleys caught the shifting sand

The old ranger weathered the storm

And he topped the rise by the middle of morn

He saw rippled dunes

Calm and surreal

And a glint of a solitary shaft of chromium steel

 

Golden age...

Bleached by the sun

And scorched by the moon

If I make it 'til tomorrow noon I'm leaving

 

'Tween the horror of space

And the terror of time

My heart in crystal down the line I'm screaming

 

What I need is a kiss from you babe

Before it's hangover time

What I need is some love from you babe

Before this stampede arrives

 

Desolate landscape

Storybook bliss

My darling let me tell you this - it's crazy

 

Hell of a memory

Is a heaven of pain

Snow is cold but so is rain please save me

 

What I need is a kiss from you babe

Before it's hangover time

What I need is some love from you babe

Before this stampede arrives



Oh babe.......................What I need   kiss from you babe

Before it's hangover time.....What I need   love from you babe

Before this stampede arrives



Babe..........................What I need   death valley nights

Babe   babe...................What I need   death valley nights

Babe..........................What I need

I need you....................Death valley nights 

Before I lose my mind



I need you....................What I need   death valley nights

                              What I need

To run away...................Death valley nights

Get away......................What I need

Outer space...................Death valley nights

Just run away.................What I need

I need you....................Death valley nights

I've been searching, searching, searching for Celine

I've been searching, searching for her company

Find her where she's working

Find her where she hides

I know why she's cursing

She knows why I lie

 

I've been searching, searching, searching for Celine

I've been searching, searching for her company

Find her where she's sleeping

I know why she's tired

I know why she's cursing

She knows why I lie

 

She said

"Love is like a gun

And in the hands of someone like you

I think it'd kill

But oh, what a thrill

Oh, what a thrill

No oh!



I've been talking, talking, talking in my sleep

I've been talking, talking, talking to Celine

Talking 'bout your love

Talking 'bout your love

Talking 'bout your love

Do you know what I said?

 

I said

"Love is like a gun

And in the hands of someone like you

I think it'd kill

But oh, what a thrill

Oh, what a thrill

Oh oh!

She went down to her house by the water

To hide herself from his grasp

He went down to the water to find her

To consumate their love at last

 

Then the lightning flashing.........lightning, flashing, crashing

Fireworks shooting off in her head..in her head

The earth was shaking...............earth, shaking, quaking

Fireworks pouring down on her head..on her head

Only sound she heard was............sound, lovely word

Fireworks like a charm..............annointed

Blazing red

 

She went down to escape from her prison

To free herself from her fear

All those years up to here with tradition

And opportunity so near

 

Then the lightning flashing.........lightning, flashing, crashing

Fireworks shooting off in her head..in her head

The earth was shaking...............earth, shaking, quaking

Fireworks pouring down on her head..on her head

Only sound she heard was............sound, lovely word

Fireworks like a charm..............annointed

Blazing red

 

She went down on a snow white pillow

To cast herself in the looking glass

He knew the time had finally come now

To break the spell they shared at last

 

Then the lightning flashing.........lightning, flashing, crashing

Fireworks shooting off in her head..in her head

The earth was shaking...............earth, shaking, quaking

Fireworks pouring down on her head..on her head

Only sound she heard was............sound, lovely word

Fireworks like a charm..............annointed

Blazing red

Come on come on 

To the station of night

Come on come on 

Everybody's waiting

Come on come on 

With the signal in sight

Come on come on 

There's a new tune playing

 

Are you ready to rock?.......Yes I am

Are you ready to rock?.......Yes I am

Are you ready to rock?.......Yes I am

Who will rock with you.......Oh woman will you

 

Come on come on to the cities of night

Come on come on everybody's praying

Come on come on for the wonder of light

Come on come on there's a new day breaking

 

Are you ready to rock?.......Yes I am

Are you ready to rock?.......Yes I am

Are you ready to rock?.......Yes I am

Who will rock with you.......Oh woman will you



I ain't gonna catch those countdown blues

I ain't gonna catch those countdown blues

I ain't gonna catch those countdown blues

I only live to be born again

I only live to be born again

I only live to be born again

 

Are you ready to rock?.......Yes I am

Are you ready to rock?.......Yes I am

Are you ready to rock?.......Yes I am

Who will rock with you.......I know now

Who will rock with you.......I see somebody

Who will rock with you.......Somebody like you

Who will rock with you.......Yeah

I'm out of my place I'm out of my mind

I'm totally bent in the big time

There's no place for one of my kind

Scorn behind shades I don't care anyway

 

Celestial the Queen

Celestial the Queen

Celestial the Queen



Her world turns around

In my ears the sound of laughter

Swift descent

Dark and mute dreams deceive

 

Her world turns around me

Celestial the Queen

Celestial the Queen

 

She came from the dark she came from a dream

All leather and chain the rising Queen

Born into the night born into the spotlight

She spread her wings and then she was gone

 

Celestial the Queen

Celestial the Queen

Celestial the Queen

 

The world turns around

In my head the fairy laughter

Swift ascent and then forever 

It meant nothing

 

The world turns around me

Celestial the Queen

Celestial the Queen

Too wild to care

You got animal stare

You got "stay anywhere" in your eyes

Think you're leading me on but you can be anyone

'Cause I know you'll be gone 'fore I rise

 

And we're going through the motions

Yeah, we're going through the motions

Yeah, we're going through the motions

Going through the motions

 

Staying with you gave us something to do

I almost thought it was true for a while

'Cause there's love in your lies

You're so thinly disguised

You couldn't tell right from wrong if you tried

 

And we're going through the motions

Yeah, we're going through the motions

Yeah, we're going through the motions

Going through the motions

 

To thee I dedicate this photograph

I'll even sign it "love to you" again

And when it's faded and forgotten in some book

You'll sometimes look

You'll sometimes look

You'll sometimes look

 

It's a game, it's a game

No let's call it a shame

'Cause there's no one to blame just to pay

You were a friend for a day

So don't cry if I say

That you got what you want, it's OK

 

And we're going through the motions

Yeah, we're going through the motions

Yeah, we're going through the motions

Going through the motions

 

Yeah, yeah, we're going through the motions

Yeah, we're going through the motions

Yeah, we're going through the motions

Going through the motions

That night her kiss told me it was over

I walked out late into the dark

The misty gloom seems to soak up my sorrow

The further I went on 

I felt a spreading calm

Then suddenly my eyes were bathed in light

And the lovely lady in white was by my side

She said "Like me I see you're walking alone

Won't you please stay?" 

I couldn't look away

 

She said 

I love the night

The day is OK and the sun can be fun but I live 

To see those rays slip away

I love the night

There's so much I can show and give to you

If you will welcome me tonight



If only you had been there my dear

We could have shared this together

 

No mortal was meant to know such wonder

One look in the mirror told me so

Come darkness I'll see her again

Yes I'm gonna go 

'Cause now I know

 

I love the night

The day is OK and the sun can be fun but I live 

To see those rays slip away



I love the night

I love the night

I love the night

Deep in the heart of Germany

Lucy clutched her breast in fear

She heard a beat of her lover's heart

For weeks she raved in dreams he appeared

From far off Transylvania

 

Only a woman can break his spell

Pure in heart who will offer herself

To Nosferatu

 

This ship pulled in without a sound

The faithful captain long since cold

He kept his log till the bloody end

Last entry read "Rats in the hold.

My crew is dead - I fear the plague"

 

Only a woman can break his spell

Pure in heart who will offer hefself



Mortal terror reigned

Sickness now then horrible death

Only Lucy knew the truth

And at her window

Nosferatu

 

So chaste, so calm, she gave herself

To the pleasure of the dreaded master

He sucked the precious drops of life

Throughout the long and cold dark night

 

One last goodbye, he was blinded by love

One last goodbye, he was blinded by love

Blinded by love

 

He screamed with fear, he'd stayed too long in her room

The morning sun had come too soon

The spell was broken with a kiss of doom

He vanished into dust, left her all alone

 

Only a woman can break his spell

Pure in heart, who will offer herself



Only a woman can break his spell

Pure in heart who will offer herself

To Nosferatu
