Overflow

You’re not the kind of girl to let a good thing go
When you see it and you want it you just now
You set your hooks in me with a simple kiss
I was trapped, but please don’t rescue me from this
You make me overflow
One taste of your lips
One touch of your hips and all systems go
You make me overflow
When you shake your hair
Baby it ain’t fair and I think you know
You make me overflow
You tempt and tease me with your bedroom eyes
In a trance, I’m drowning, hypnotized
You touch me like you see inside my soul
You ignite me like a fire burning out of control
You make me overflow
One taste of your lips
One touch of your hips and all systems go
You make me overflow
When you shake your hair
Baby it ain’t fair and I think you know
You make me overflow
You blinded me there’s no way back
I’m destined for a heart attack
Touch me, kiss me take it slow
I can’t hold back so don’t let go
I’m ready to blow
Overflow
One taste of your lips
One touch of your hips and all systems go
You make me overflow
When you shake your hair
Baby it ain’t fair
You're everywhere
You make me overflow

You've Still Got Time
05:09
|
|||
Restless in your life you roam the alleys of your mind
Searching for a reason not to go
Your soul aches to run, but you feel you’re not the one
You’re too caught up in life to take the chance
There’s no use waiting for tomorrow
You’ve got to live your life today
Why live your life inside a shell
Break off those chains and fly away
All your life you’ve waited for someone to arrive
And grant you all your dreams you feel inside
But you know it’s just a life
And you won’t get nowhere
Unless you turn and face those dreams you hide
(Chorus)
You’ve still got time
You’ve still got time to touch the sun
It’s time to touch the sun
So it’s your decision
Your fate is up to you
The world is waiting for you to decide
Step out in the spotlight
Live your fantasy
You will never know until you try
(Chorus)
You’ve still got time
You’ve still got time to touch the sun
It’s time to touch the sun
(Lead break)
There’s no use waiting for tomorrow
You’ve got to live your life today yeah
Why live your life inside a shell
Break off those chains and fly away
Tear off those chains yeah
And reach for the sun
Tear off those chains yeah
And reach for the sun

Can't Take My Heart
03:48
|
|||
You think you are so important
But you’re no different
You think you can fool me with your lies
You, you came into my life
And you left me there to die
Yeah you came and touched my life
Now you’re saying goodbye oh baby
Don’t take it away, you can’t take my heart away
You can’t take it away
Don’t take it away, you can’t take my heart away
You can’t take it away
Don’t try and lie your way out
You cannot hide from me now
I know that your love is gone
You, you wanted to be mine
So I let you know my mind
I waited all my life
Oh it’s killing inside so baby
Don’t take it away, you can’t take my heart away
You can’t take it away
Don’t take it away, you can’t take my heart away
You can’t take it away
Please don’t take my heart away
No don’t break it, please don’t take my heart baby
(Middle Leads)
Don’t take it away, you can’t take my heart away
You can’t take it away
Don’t take it away, you can’t take my heart away
Please don’t take it away
You don’t know what you’d do to me
No, you’d only make me cry so don’t say goodbye
Oh baby
(End leads)

Warlord
04:55
|
|||
Overseer of justice clueless in your ways of ruling
At the highest seat of power caught up in your greed drooling
You never see the pain that’s in our eyes
Constantly blind to the words your country cries
Can’t you see
There must be
Remedy
or fire in the city!
People screaming, you keep dreaming of your lust for power
Close your eyes, it’s your disguise, but it’s your final hour
You thought that you could just up and turn your back
But Warlord, your time has come we’re marching to attack
Stand
Fight
We have got the right
To Strike
Your reign falls tonight
Vengeance is in site
At last
We control our lives
We control our lives

Desert Man
07:33
|
|||
Hot in the sun
Wind in my hair
Riding off into the future
Aimless in time
Searching for peace of mind
I lust to be free
Into the night
Vengeful with spite
Cold-hearted anger inside me
Beaten and bruised
Cheated and used by the world
And I need to be free
Yeah I’m a desert man
Riding across the land
I’m a desert man
I’m gonna live my life as a desert man
I was in love
So deep in love
But she threw my heart in the sand
Walked on my pride
Burned me inside
I couldn’t take any more
Society pitied me
I was the laugh of the party
Wracked my brain
Drove me insane
I couldn’t take any more
Now I’m a desert man
Riding across the land
I’m a desert man
I’m gonna live my life as a desert man
Hot in the sun
Wind in my hair
Riding off into the future
Now I can see
Now I am free from the pain that I had before
Now I’m a desert man
Riding across the land
I’m a desert man
I’m gonna live my,
I”m gonna live my life
Desert man
Riding across the land
Desert Man
Riding across the land

Heart Has Died
05:27
|
|||
Lying here like a corpse a shadow of another man
Beaten down by a broken love and I can’t understand
Why I’m always the one who winds up lying on the ground
It hurts like ma bitch when you lose all you thought you’d found
(Pre-Chorus)
I don’t know why I go on
I try and try again
One more broken heart has left me dead
(Chorus)
Yeah my heart has died
And it kills inside
Cuz I know I tried
To keep you satisfied
My heart has died
And I know you lied
Now I can’t decide
If I should run or try to love again
No one knows the pain that I feel inside my heart
Loving you was all I had now I’m lying in the dark
What am I gonna with myself now that you have gone
There’s no one here for me to lay my burdens on
(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus)
To love again, try and love again
(Bridge)
Remember, the way things used to be
Me loving you, you loving me
Together, we thought that we could rule the world
Life without you girl’s a tragedy
(Lead break)
(Chorus)

Nightrider
04:34
|
|||
When the sun goes down
I like to get away
‘Cuz late at night
We got better games to play
So I rev up my engine and I hit the open road
Nightrider
I’m the Nightrider
I’m moving faster
Faster than I’ve ever moved before
I’m slicing thru the darkness
Cutting with an ax of engine roar
Like a bat out of hell I’m the fastest can’t you tell
Nightrider
I’m the Nightrider
Time after time
I see them arise
All of the dreams that I have longed for
I hear all your reasons
Why now’s not the season
But I’m gonna make them all come true
Make them come true
Prove it to you
All of you
I’ve made mistakes
But I’m never turning back (no more)
I’m hearing voices
And they’re calling to attack
My dreams won’t be shattered
Or lie in tatters by the road
Nightrider
I’m the Nightrider

In The City
04:36
|
|||
One boy on the streets in the city
He can’t go home to his family it’s a pity
He’s playing guitar and nobody knows it surely ain’t pretty
Only the dreams in his mind can keep him alive
Cuz it’s hard in the city
You can’t get far
You can’t get far
In the City!
Spotlights, fast cars…they’re only dreams
But you know he’s playing better than it seems
Who knows one day he’ll be up there in the lights
Playing guitar just to survive
Lying face down in the gutter in the street (face down)
Can’t remember the last time he had anything to eat (so hungry)
People walk by and they step right over him (walk on by)
You know he’s innocent, yeah I think it’s a sin
But that’s how it goes in the city
I guess I’ll try again
In the city
In the city
In the city
You wind up gettin’ roughed up
In the city

Son Of The Night
04:41
|
|||
Feel the tension in the night
Feel the heat of the moon
Sense the danger in the neon lights
Someone’s after you
Watch the shadow on the wall
Hold your breath for awhile
Can he see you as you crawl
Will he turn and smile
Son of the night
Child of the day
Come to me tonight
Son of the night
Child of the day
Another sacrifice
Late last night laying in bed
Through some mixed up dream
Through the window and down the street
Came a howling scream
He had to see my eyes through the glass
Staring out in fear
I can see him now the echoes of a dream
I gotta find my way outta here
Son of the night
Child of the day
Come to me tonight
Son of the night
Child of the day
Another sacrifice
Son of the night
