1. BLACKOUT


I realize I missed a day
But Iīm too wrecked to care anyway
I look around and see this face
What the hell have I lost my taste
Donīt want to find out
Just want to cut out

My head explodes, my ears ring
I canīt remember just where Iīve been
The last thing that I recall
I got lost in a deep black hole
Donīt want to find out
Just want to cut out

Blackout
I really had a blackout

Blackout
I really had a blackout

Blackout
I really had a blackout

Blackout
I really had a blackout

I grab my things and make my run
On the way out, another one
Would like to know before I stop
Did I make it or did I flop
Donīt want to find out
Just want to get out

Blackout
I really had a blackout

Blackout
I really had a blackout

Blackout
I really had a blackout

Blackout
I really had a blackout

Donīt want to find out
Just want to get out

Blackout
I really had a blackout!



2. CANīT LIVE WITHOUT YOU


You stand in front of the band
With all those scarves in your hands
I see you play imaginary guitars
You people shaking your heads
Right till the end of the set
You really turn me on wherever we are

Canīt live, canīt live without you
Canīt live, canīt live without you
Canīt live, canīt live without you
Canīt live, canīt live without you

Put your hands in the air
So I can see you are there
I wanna see all your lights shining on
Want you to stand up and dance
Gonna leave you no chance
To take a breath between each single song

Canīt live, canīt live without you
Canīt live, canīt live without you
Canīt live, canīt live without you
Canīt live, canīt live without you

Stand up and shout
Weīre ready to rock, weīre ready to roll
Stand up and shout
Are you ready, are you ready
Come on and get it!

Canīt live, canīt live without you
Canīt live, canīt live without you
Canīt live, canīt live without you
Canīt live, canīt live without you



3. NO ONE LIKE YOU


Girl, itīs been a long time that weīve been apart
Much too long for a man who needs love
I miss you since Iīve been away
Babe, it wasnīt easy to leave you alone
Itīs getting harder each time that I go
If I had the choice, I would stay

Thereīs no one like you
I canīt wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things weīll do
I just wanna be loved by you

No one like you
I canīt wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things weīll do
I just wanna be loved by you

Girl, there are really no words strong enough
To describe all my longing for love
I donīt want my feelings restrained
Ooh, babe, I just need you like never before
Just imagine youīd come through this door
Youīd take all my sorrow away

Thereīs no one like you
I canīt wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things weīll do
I just wanna be loved by you

No one like you
I canīt wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things weīll do
I just wanna be loved by you

No one like you



4. YOU GIVE ME ALL I NEED


New love is blind
Why donīt you see
You hurt me inside, youīre killing me
It makes me sad all the time
To see you around with all these guys
My heartīs in pain
I need you so
My loveīs the same
So please donīt go

You give me all I need
You give me all I need
You give me all I need
You give me all I need

Letīs try again
Thereīs still romance
Weīll start a new life, take a chance
There are so many ways
Please donīt forget it anyday
My heartīs in pain
I need you so
My loveīs the same
So please donīt go

You give me all I need
You give me all I need
You give me all I need
You give me all I need



5. NOW!


Like it played loud
Powerhouse sounds
My body wants to rock and let it out
Really high born
Morning till dawn
Iīm going all the way just on and on
Itīs gonna be wild, itīs gonna be wild
Itīs gonna be wild
Now!

Teach me to fly
Wanna stay high
I have to live it up before I die
Nightlife and booze
Girls to choose
Are you ready, baby, come on letīs cruise
Itīs gonna be wild, itīs gonna be wild
Itīs gonna be wild
Now!

Getting out of control
Thereīs nothing that can bring me down
Nothing Iīll leave out tonight
Iīm feeling good, Iīm living now!

Like it real hot
Never canīt stop
Iīm running down the line to the top
Never stay low
Iīm on the go
No one holds me back
Itīs gonna be wild, itīs gonna be wild
Itīs gonna be wild
Now!

Itīs gonna be wild, itīs gonna be wild
Itīs gonna be wild
Now! Now! Now! Now! Now! Now! Now!



6. DYNAMITE


Kick your ass to heaven
With rockīn roll tonight
Iīll make this night a special one
Make you feel alright
Shoot my heat into your body
Give ya all my size
Iīm gonna beat the beat tonight
Itīs time to break the ice

Dynamite
Dynamite
Dynamite
Dynamite

Hit the top together
Get ya with my spell
Iīm gonna make my shot tonight
Take you down to hell
Eat your meat until youīre breathless
Twirl your hips around
Iīm gonna break my neck tonight
Iīll get you off the ground

Dynamite
Youīre dynamite
Dynamite
Dynamite

Get it now or never
Letīs get it really tight
Weīll make this night a special one
Make us feel alright
Put your heat into my body
Give ya all my size
We gonna beat the beat tonight
Come on letīs break the ice

Dynamite
Youīre dynamite
Dynamite
Dynamite
Youīre dynamite
Dynamite

Dynamite
Dynamite

Dynamite
You baby, you baby
Youīre dynamite



7. ARIZONA


Arizona really was a gas
I was screwed up in a total mess
Mindblowing all the way, you know
Just out of sight
Some girl stopped me in the street at night
Ooh, what a knockout and she felt so right
Ooh, yeah she took my breath away
Just out of sight

Loved her in her car
Took me to the stars
Babe, we went nuts all the way
Loved her on the moon
Morning came too soon
She got me high and loose, loose, loose

Arizona really feels alright
Girls swing here and they treat you right
Have so many special ways, you know
And thatīs alright
Was so hard to leave and say goodbye
Iīd like to stay and have another try
Mindblowing all the way, you know
Just out of sight

Loved her in her car
Took me to the stars
Babe, we went nuts all the way
Loved her on the moon
Morning came too soon
She got me high and loose, loose, loose

Ooh, what a night
Such a good time
Out of sight
Yeah, what a night



8. CHINA WHITE


Sometimes it seems the good times
Never will return
A lot has changed, babe
īCause evil rules the world

You said youīre looking for a place
Where thereīs no hate
Oh, babe, it really makes no sense
To escape

How long will it take
To make the world a flaming star
How long will it take
Till they stop their senseless wars
How long will it take
Till everybody will understand
That we need to fill our hearts with love again

The only future weīve got
Exists right now
Letīs take the time, babe
As long as the world is turning īround

How long will it take
To make the earth a fireball
How long will it take
Till no more life exists at all
How long will it take
Till everybody will understand
That we need to fill our hearts with love again

Itīs up to you
To fight the evil in your mind
Itīs up to you
The more love you give, the more youīll find
The more love you give, the more youīll find

Donīt make the world a flaming stra
Stop, stop all these senseless wars
How long will it take
Till everybody will understand
That we need to fill our hearts with love again



9. WHEN THE SMOKE IS GOING DOWN


Just when you make your way back home
I find some time to be alone
I go to see the place once more
Just like a thousand nights before
I climb the stage again this night
īCause the place seems still alive
When the smoke is going down

This is the place where I belong
I really love to turn you on
Iīve got your sound still in my ear
While your traces disappear
I climb the stage again this night
īCause the place seems still alive
When the smoke is going down

I climb the stage again this night
īCause the place seems still alive
When the smoke is going down
When the smoke is going down
When the smoke is going down
