Action De Grace

Can you feel it
Pumpin´ down like heavy love
Can you feel it
Getting down to rise above
The rhythm gets you higher
Than the mountain tops
And everybody´s ready
For the pressure drop
Motion to set it straight
So long since it was too late
Can you feel it


Alright Already Now

Spare me - I don´t need your yappin´
I got directions thrown at me
Like I was in need of clues

All nite long - all day, night,
Noon, morning same old song
Comes on strong - never ending
Bitching my nerves gone twitching

Come around wanna cook my goose
It´s runnin´over and I´m well worth a deuce
Fresh out of patience and I´m getting real bored
Bet your ass I´ve heard it before

I hear you - but baby you don´t move me
I´ve got enough of your predictions
And I just don´t care what to do


Move Right Out Of Here

Passers by coincide with me
Steppin´ out to cross my line
Feelin´ sick - feel like shit
But I always say I´m fine

One stab in the back after another
I´ve had it up to my ears
One well aimed kick in their rear
And then I´m outta here

Are you ready - I´ve been ready
All my life all along
You bet I´m ready

Day by day night by nightmare
I´ve got my ass on the line
I´ve gotta get down get on out
Before I´m goin´blind

Are you ready - I´m ready
Won´t you come along
Bet your ass I´m ready
Gotta move right out of here


Welcome To Hell

I´ve seen you girl - I´ve seen you walkin´
´Round for a long long time
I´ve heard you girl - I´ve heard you talkin´
Tounge in cheek but it don´t rhyme
It´s time to move - it´s to shake those
Hips to a different beat
I got time to prove - today is dated
And obsolete

When mountains are too high
And their sides are to steep
And rivers run too deep
Offers like this don´t come cheap
And you got nothin´but your soul to sell
C´mon down and we will treat you well
Baby welcome to hell

I´ve been watchin´ you - I watched you
Droppin´out sweet torn and frayed
But nothing´s stoppin´ you - pillpoppin´ days
Are over if you come my way
Absolution girl - let it go and be
The ultimate star fucker star
Got the solution girl - let loose
And dance to a different guitar


The Electric Index Eel

Electric eyes keep track of what I´m doing
Extensive index files knows my way
Before I´m movin´
And get the picture developed
Before it´s taken

I´m disillusioned but they sure
Know my way ´round
They cast no shadow
Don´t make a sound
They´re ahead of time
It blows my mind
I´m tied up and it gets me down

I say cold hard facts - you say paranoia
You don´t have to react - they got device
To do for ´ya
They know the rhythm before it´s
Set in motion

I wanna talk to you
But I know we ain´t talkin´ alone
Feels like someone else
Is on the phone
Top secrecy
Is blowin´me
I´m tied up and it gets me down


Paul Stanley

Hound dogs they are fighting
In a room with a ten lock door
Waitin´ for the second sighting
Plastered to a wall in a store

They got dope they got high
But they never tell the reasons why
Come clean sis´ amphetamine
Has gone astray

Manhog takes a look in the mirror
Skins it up around 4:25
Still the picture´s not getting clearer
Walks away, rips the joint, take a dive

If you can´t cope you can hide
But they´ll never let you in on their side
Come clean sisters turpenteen
Have gone away

Come clean fade away the scene
Stay clean perpetuate all means
Electric dreams guitars quarantean
I´m gone away


The Devil Stole The Beat From The Lord

Got you concerned by some unconcious mistake
A bit blacker magic for that soulselling sake
Kinda caught you cold - a wicked twist on your fate
Could call it crucifixion or subdue to create

Got you fooled by a mass demand
Bragging ´bout fortunes you´re about to land
And your loudmouth got your conscious sore
But it feels so good when you scream for more

The devil stole the beat from the Lord
It´s time to set things straight
Bragging like a brat
That you got away
You´re goin´ down and you have to pay

Got you counting numbers and talking in tounges
Got your name in blood suck the air from your lungs
And they have you playin´ such devious games
Where no bets are even - the dealer´s always the same

Now your illusions they don´t seem so grand
What you call yours is just second hand
Never question what they want from you
Just get up and dance when they tell you to

It´s hard to smile
When you choke on your laughter
But the Lord works in mysterious ways
Without a hint or a clue

The devil stole the beat from the Lord
Do you got what it takes
Keep braggin´ like a brat
That you got away
Thought you´d last ´til the end
But you don´t have the means
The devil stole the beat from the Lord
And the melody sway
You´re goin´ down and you have to pay


Dogday Mornings

Past morning and I raise my head
Won´t turn on the lights, won´t get out of bed
Phone bugs me baby you´re not here
I wish I didn´t wake up

How I wish today was yesterday´s news
In my head I can´t get no trus
Friends seem like foes - creeps on the street
They´re always here to greet me

Dogday mornings
I open my eyes and they meet me
Dogday mornings always there to greet me

Been so long since the good times rolled
Police, thieves, hookers all outta control
Some get looked up some just gotta go
News days are-a-rising
But I don´t wanna know

Past sunrise and the drink´s gone sour
Wanna turn time back to the midnight hour
In my dreams you´re always here with me
But they always wake me up to greet me


Venus In Force

I saw her in lightning
She stood in the rain
Soaked and wet she was fighting
Got off her knees once again

She´s dragging me down
But I wanna keep her warm
Still is my coat enough shelter from the storm

I saw her in thunder
Beautiful electric and pale
I saw her go under
Where souls are always for sale

She´s getting down to get higher
Persistent she walks with bare feet
She walks thru´brimstone and fire
Think I`ll at the crossroad
Head for dead end street


5 vs. 7

Gone down and out feels like it´s sinkin´
With a sense of direction it comes tumblin´ down
The sky´s gone dark - the streets are stinkin´
And the howlin´ wind comes blowin´
Thru´ the neon towns

It´s sweepin´ over the land
The shit is aiming for the fan
No there ain´t no chosen few
It´s comin´ down by the minute
It´s sad but you´re in it too

You play along but can´t hide the pressure
Side by side with fools you´re feelin´like a king
You´re just a pawn moved around in a massive tester
But you play your part real well so you
Don´t feel a thing

Dead set like you had a reason
I could never walk your way
My soul be down for treason
No there ain´t no chosen few
It´s comin´ down by the minute
It´s sad but you´re in it too

Hearts gone black the sky is fallin´
Piling up outside the transplantion camp
Time´s up coyote´s calling
Debris being left as treasures
For the waiting tramp

The street´s a mess and the howlin´ wind
Blows hard - the hammer´s fallin´ again
Ain´t no jewels left in your crown
With a sense of direction
It comes tumblin´ down


Lonely

Poor little girl born to an modern world - lonely
Teenage angst ridden tried to make
Herself heard - lonely

From a one horse town to a burg twice the size
From being safe and sound to getting
Cramped in lie
It felt real easy so she started to snitch
But the bitchin´ came around threw her
Right down the ditch

Never imagined it could turn out so wrong - lonely
Nobody listens ´cuz the story´s too long - lonely

She tried to get by to her own little tune
Can´t shoot prozac with a neddle and a spoon
Fell flat on her face crawled on her hands
And her knees
Tried to make friends with her enemies

She think´s she´s got it
She´s got it way outta line
Now she´s got the attention
If only she weren´t so lonely
