EXCITER

Oh, deep in the night I am waiting, sent from above, power of love in my hand
And I know what you want, I know what you need and I know what you feel
Lose all your fears and live out your dreams
I'm the one who's gonna make it real

Passion and fire, lust and desire, exciter
Pleasure and pain, this is my name, exciter

Oh, heaven is yours for the taking, power of love, sent from above in your hand
And I'll give you more than ever before, so take all you need
When you open your arms, open your eyes, I'm the one who's gonna make you see

Chorus:
Passion and fire, lust and desire, exciter
Pleasure and pain, whisper my name, exciter
Surrender to me and I'll guarantee, you'll pray that the night never ends
Come play the game, this is my name, exciter

And I'll show you a world where you've never been, it's time that you knew
There's no time for waiting, it's time to begin, I'm the one's gonna take you

chorus

NOT FOR THE INNOCENT

I'm mean and I'm dirty, like none you've ever seen
Bad habits drip like honey, no tongue can lick me clean
I'm not of royal blood, I've never been discreet

Better lock up your daughters, we're comin' to your town
We're here for the slaughter, kick you when you're down
Kick you when you're down

Chorus:
We're not for the innocent, we're not for the innocent
We're not for the innocent, let the beast run wild

I've been damned, I've been cursed, I've been guilty and abused
I spit the hangman in his face and hung him on his noose
Habitual threat, I got you in my claws

Gonna tan your hide, rip the flesh off your bones
Look me in the eye, and you're gonna turn to stone
You're gonna turn to stone

chorus

Better lock up your daughters, we're comin' to your town
Better pray we're not around

Let the beast run wild

chorus... (to fade)

LICK IT UP

Don't wanna wait 'til you know me better
Let's just be glad for the time together
Life's such a treat and it's time you taste it
There ain't a reason on earth to waste it
It ain't a crime to be good to yourself

Chorus:
Lick it up, lick it up, it's only right now
Lick it up, lick it up, ooh yeah
Lick it up, lick it up, come on, come on
Lick it up, lick it up

Don't need to wait for an invitation
You gotta live like you're on vacation
There's something sweet you can't buy with money - lick it up, lick it up
It's all you need, so believe me honey
It ain't a crime to be good to yourelf

chorus

Come on - it's only right now (it's only right now)
Ooh yeah (ooh yeah) ooh yeah (ooh yeah), yeah yeah

chorus repeats out

YOUNG AND WASTED

Like a fly to a spider, you're under the spell
It's the game and the liar, for those who toll the bell
You're more than just a name, you fight for the right
Like a moth to a flame, you see the bait you bite

You're restless and wild and walkin' the line
You're not just another pretty face
Need an answer fast and you're runnin' out of time
And the night goes on for days

Young and wasted - ooh yeah, ooh yeah - young and wasted

You been branded by the iron, you been cut by the knife
There's a monkey on your back runnin' up and down your spine
Up and down your spine
You hunger for the fire and run with the pack
But you know damn well there ain't no turnin' back
Ain't no turnin' back, no no

You're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't
You laugh in the face of the fates
Fallen angels spread their wings, so you cross the gates of hate

Young and wasted - I can almost taste it, I can almost taste it
Young and wasted - ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah

You're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't
You laugh in the face of the fates
Fallen angels spread their wings, so let the heaven say

Young and wasted, young and wasted
Young and wasted - I can almost taste it, I can almost taste it

Young and wasted (repeats out)

GIMME MORE

Live wire on the loose, white fire gotta move
Hot blood, need your love, hard as rock, can't get enough
Wanna feel you deep inside, pumpin' through my veins, fill you to the core
Let me take you thru the night, heaven knows no pain, open up the door

Gimme more, ooh gimme more, baby gimme more, ooh

Like a dog to a bone, make you sweat, make you moan
Love is sweet, so insane, come on lick my candy cane
Passion in the third degree, burning in my brain, slave to love's desire
Livin', lovin', feel the heat, never to be tamed, born to play with fire

Gimme more, ooh gimme more, baby gimme more, ooh, yeah yeah

Ah, listen - touch my body, take it slow, c'mon make my juices flow
Feelin' good, any price, ooh nothin' I won't sacrifice
Got a thirst for playin' rough, I can't get my fill, never keepin' score
C'mon baby, let me in, gonna break your will, open up the door

Gimme more, ooh gimme more, baby gimme more, ooh, I want you

C'mon and gimme, gimme more, gimme, gimme more, gimme, gimme, ooh

ALL HELL'S BREAKIN' LOOSE

Street hustler comes up to me one day
And I'm walkin' down the street, mindin' my own business
Now he looks me up and he looks me down and says
"Hey man, what be this" and "What be that" and "Why you gotta look like that?"
Well I just looked at him, I kinda laughed, I said
Hey man, I am cool, I am the Breeze

Haven't you heard, there's a new revolution
Gotta spread the word - too much confusion

All hell's breakin' loose - hey hey have you read the news
All hell's breakin' loose - overloadin' 'n' blowin' my fuse
All hell's breakin' loose - day and night, baby, night and day
All hell's breakin' loose - in the streets there's a brand new way, yeah

You know we ain't always winners, but this is the life we choose
And we won't change or rearrange, and we ain't never ever gonna lose
It ain't always easy when the goin' gets rough
When you're gettin' even, you gotta show your stuff - tell about it now

Take a look around, only one solution
Set the world on fire, fight the institution
Gonna stand our ground, feel the new sensation
Something's goin' down - rock the nation

All hell's breakin' loose - hey hey, have you read the news
All hell's breakin' loose - overloadin' 'n' blowin' my fuse
All hell's breakin' loose - day and night, baby, night and day
All hell's breakin' loose - ah, take it

Haven't you heard, only one solution
Gotta spread the word - you gotta tell it to the people now
Take a look around, feel the new sensation
Set the world on fire - rock the nation

All hell's breakin' loose, all hell's breakin' loose
All hell's breakin' loose - baby baby baby baby whoo

All hell's breakin' loose - hey, hey, have you read the news
All hell's breakin' loose - overloadin' 'n blowin' my fuse
All hell's breakin' loose - day and night, baby, night and day
All hell's breakin' loose - in the streets you can hear them say
(repeats out)

A MILLION TO ONE

Baby, now that you've made up your mind
I'm gonna let you go, if that's what it takes to show love is blind
I gave you the best love you ever had, but it wasn't enough
So if you think you're so smart, go and play with your heart
When you walk out the door, you'll realize what you never did before

Chorus:
A million to one - that's what it will be
A million to one - there's someone better than me
A million to one - no, you never will find
A million to one - another love like mine

Yeah, we chose our sides and I've been misunderstood
But everytime I try to open your eyes, I'm damned and I'm no good
Day after day, you're further away, I can't take anymore
So it's time that you go, but I want you to know, I won't stand in your way
Deep in my heart I know, girl you're runnin' away

chorus
A million to one

One of these days you'll come out of your haze, no matter what you do
It'll be too late, something good won't wait, love is runnin' out on you

A million to one, a million to one

chorus

A million to one - listen to your heart girl - a million to one - oh
A million to one - no, you never will find
A million to one - another love like mine
A million to one - no, you never will find
A million to one - another love like mine

A million to one (repeats out)

FITS LIKE A GLOVE

Ain't a cardinal sin, baby lemme in, girl I'm gonna treat you right
Well goodness sakes, my snake's alive and it's ready to bite
Hornet's nest, lay me down to rest, ooh I wanna shed my skin
I got the urge to merge, you're cold as ice, baby won't you lemme in

Night scenes, wet dreams, enough to make you drool
And fire, fire, fire for the fuel

Don't like to dress, talk too good, but I found my queen
Not too clean, know what I like, if you know what I mean

Baby, baby, guess you win the prize
Maybe, baby, where the sun never shines

This must be love, fits like a glove
Well it must be love, it must be love - fits like a glove - fits like a glove

Feel the heat, driver's seat, my blessing is my curse
Think I'm gonna burst, a gonna burst, a gonna burst

Night scenes, wet dreams, enough to make you drool
And fire, fire, fire for the fuel

Ooh baby, babe - fits like a glove
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah - fits like a glove - fits like a glove

Cause when I go through her, it's just like a hot knife through butter, ooh yeah

Baby, baby, guess you win the prize
Maybe, baby, where the sun never shines

Fits like a glove - well it must be love, it must be love - fits like a glove
Fits like a glove - well it must be love, it must be love
Fits like a glove

DANCE ALL OVER YOUR FACE

Baby, I know it's a jungle out there
Well if you can play it cool, I can play it debonair
You were warm, but there was an inner ice
And baby, it was like a rollin' dice
Well I told you once, I told you twice
Hey listen babe, there's trouble in paradise

Well I found a lipstick stain of your kiss
Well you can sink your teeth into this, bitch, so

Chorus:
I'm gonna dance, dance all over your face, I'm gonna dance all over your face
I'm gonna dance, dance all over your face, I'm gonna dance all over your face

Hey baby, can you pass this quiz
Well, just put your money where your mouth is
You're as sharp as a slap from a lover's hand
Hey baby, baby, baby, this is all I can stand
You played your hand, and now you lose, well listen bitch, I've got news

Yes, I saw you with another man and you put me in disgrace, so

chorus

Dance, dance all over your face, I'm gonna dance all over your face

No cheap perfume can change my mind, no satin and lace
Yes, I'm gonna dance all over your face

No thigh high boots, forbidden fruits, no satin and lace
Yes, I'm gonna dance, dance all over your face, I'm gonna dance

AND ON THE 8TH DAY

The sky is fallin' and the wheels of life are grindin' out a brand new beat
The streets are burnin' with the call of the wild, and I can feel the heat

They'll call you names and spit in your face, but legends never die
Just pick up your guitar, on your knees and pray and hold your head up high

And on the 8th day God created rock and roll
On the 8th day God created rock and roll

Out of the ashes came the dawn and the shape of things to come
Never surrender, just carry on, straight to kingdom come

You sold your soul and virginity, ya can't rape a heart of gold
Yes you're born to rule, it's destiny, now it can be told

Chorus:
And on the 8th day God created rock and roll (rock and roll)
And on the 8th day God created rock and roll
And on the 8th day God created rock and roll (rock and roll)
And on the 8th day God created rock and roll

Rock of ages carry the news to the heart of a brave new world
Feel the noise in the name of rock, let the heavens roar

chorus repeats out...
