1. GO

This is a truth adjust
Has to be told, it must
We spread amongst us so the world can hear it
We got to get it right
This time, if we just fight
Innocence starts tonight
If we can heal it

We look to our leaders with the lies they try to feed us
Like a knife they try to bleed us
And they cut us real slow

So go,
Just go
Just go
You hide behind your mask of desperation
Go
Just go
Just go
I won't surrender to the last temptation

You have no dignity
I have no sympathy
You are my enemy
But i can't see you

No matter where you run
Thy kingdom will be done
A rocket to the sun
Is where I see you

Endless senses get ecstatic
Overflow is automatic
Feel the need to feel erratic
Don't deny it let it flow

So go,
Just go
Just go
You hide behind your mask of desperation
Go
Just go
Just go
I won't surrender to this fake salvation

We look to our leaders with the lies they try to feed us
Like a knife they try to bleed us
And they cut us real slow

So go,
Just go
Just go
You hide behind your mask of desperation
Go
Just go
Just go
I won't surrender to the last temptation


2. NINE LIVES

[Tim McGraw]
Is your luck enough
Is your touch enough
C'mon girl
Can you keep it up
Is your bluff enough

[Def Leppard]
Are you tough enough
Is your stuff enough
Can you start it up
Are you sharp enough
Let it roll, let em go, let em fly
Took a chance on a chance
But the aces were high
Get it on, give it up, give it in
You stole the wages of sin
Got to be in it to win

Nine lives, nine times to die
I've been bitten once
But I won't be twice shy
Nine lives, nine times to die
Come on and show me your hand
Cause it's your time to cry

Have you lost your touch
Are the stakes too much
Did you spin the wheel
And could you close a deal.
Yeah, yeah!
Let it roll, let em go, give em style
Took a chance on a chance
But the deuces were wild
Get it on, give it up, give it in
You stole the wages of sin
Cause you're in it to win

Nine lives, nine times to die
I've been bitten once
But I won't be twice shy
Nine lives, nine times to die
Come on and show me your hand
Cause it's your turn to cry

Hey!

Let it roll, let em go, let em fly
Took a chance on a chance
But the aces were high
Get it on, give it up, give it in
You stole the wages of sin
Got to be in it to win

Nine lives, nine times to die
I've been bitten once
But I won't be twice shy
Nine lives, nine times to die
Come on and show me your hand
Cause it's your turn to cry

Nine lives, nine times to die
I've been bitten once
But I won't be shy twice
Nine lives, nine times to die
It's Russian roulette
With every roll of your dice

And nine lives is all we're gonna get ..
I said all we're gonna get yeah ..
Nine lives, nine times to die
You've just bitten less than your nine lives

4. LOVE

Love, love look what you've done to my heart
Oh I should've known from the start
That, you'd go and tear it apart
Oh and now you've deserved me

You never lose, you never fail
You always live to tell the tale
You take me up, you bring me down
Without a touch, without a sound

Love, love why do I keep searching high and low?
You take me in your arms and let me go

Oh how long must it be until you, come run back to me cant you see
I got no release from the pain just to see you again

You never lose, you never fail
You always live to tell the tale
You take me up, you bring me down
Without a touch, without a sound

Love, love why do I keep searching high and low?
You take me in your arms and let me go

Love, love, let me go

[Guitar Solo]

When will love set me free?
When will you come back to me?

Oh love, love why do I keep searching high and low?
You take me in your arms and let me go

Oh love


5. TOMORROW

Whoo whoo whoo
Whoo whoo whoo
Whoo whoo whoo
Whoo whoo whoo

I'm here to testify
I can't remember why
Complete or justify my situation.

I don't remember when and I can only half pretend,
A case of now and then, I just need someone.

No solution, there's a saner revolution
There's no better way but there's the only way, lead the way.

I wanna break down, I'm gonna shake down
I just discovered, I can't wait until tomorrow comes.
I wanna take a ride, I wanna kiss the sky
I just found out, I can't wait until tomorrow comes.

Whoo whoo whoo
Whoo whoo whoo
Whoo whoo whoo
Whoo whoo whoo

Spoke out on compromise, just the ego telling lies.
Confides and then defies, in case you're waiting.
Guess that it's a time for change
Remain but change the name.
This game is where to aim.
I hear the charge, boy.

No solution, there's a saner revolution
There's no better way, but there's the only way, lead the way.

I wanna break down, I'm gonna shake down
I just discovered I can't wait until tomorrow comes
I wanna take a ride, I wanna kiss the sky
I just found out I can't wait until tomorrow comes.

It's liberating, but when it rains it pours,
Degenerating, aint gonna fight no more.

I wanna break down, I'm gonna shake down
I just found out, I can't wait until tomorrow comes.
I wanna break down, I'm gonna shake down
I just discovered, I can't wait until tomorrow comes.
I wanna take a ride, I wanna kiss the sky
I just found out, I can't wait until tomorrow comes.


6. CRUISE CONTROL

I close my eyes I bend in prayer
I train my mind to just not care
And to my god I give my soul
I train my mind to cruise control

Daylight shines upon the hour of my faith
I step in to the sun
I shield my eyes from the glory of the morning
And blow it all to kingdom come

I hear my god he calls my name
I must atone all men can change
and for my god I ring the bell
I will condemn the infidel

Daylight shines upon the hour of my soul
I step in to the sun
I shield my eyes from the glory of the morning
And blow it all to kingdom come

So when I was a boy you came to me
I made up my mind
surrender all time and space to him
and blow the world to kingdom come

Daylight shines upon the hour of my faith
I step in to the sun
I shield my eyes from the glory of the morning
And blow it all to kingdom come

And blow it all to kingdom come


7. HALLUCINATE

Your a roxette
Undeniable
Unobtainable
Is what you are
In a word
Indestructable
Your a cannonball
Your a star

Gettin wild
Gettin free
Gettin touched
Can't you see
Gettin first gallantry
Get your hands off of me

Hallucinate
Its in your head
Hallucinate
In every word you say
Hallucination
Hallucinate
Its more than you can take

Its the way you act
Its the way you feel
In your Cadillac
In your car
Cos the sheer you wear
Anything you dare
Like a superstar
Is what you are

Let it loose
Let it go
Be the last to know
Get it back
Get on track
Be the first to crow

Hallucinate
Its in your head
Hallucinate
In every word you say
Hallucination
Hallucinate
Its more than you can take

(Guitar Solo)

Gettin wild
Gettin free
Gettin touched
Can't you say
Gettin first gallantry
Get your hands off of me

Hallucinate
Its in your head
Hallucinate
In every word you say
Hallucination
Hallucinate
Its more than you can take
Hallucinate
Its in your head
Hallucinate
In every word you say
Hallucination
Hallucinate
Hallucinate
Its more than you can take

Hallucinate
Hallucination
Hallucinate
Hallucination
Hallucinate
Hallucination
Hallucinate
Hallucination


8. ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG

saw you on a screen
An icon, a legend, a king
I heard it in a song
That's still goin' strong

A shooting star across the sky
You kiss the earth and say goodbye

(Chorus)
Only the good die young
Only the good die young
Crashing into the sun
Only the good die young

You'll always be here

I saw you in a dream
Fallin' apart at the seams
I heard it in your voice
That you had no choice

This genius is a heavy load (not sure)
That leads you down the lonely road
Where love never dies

(Chorus)

A shooting star across the sky
You kiss the earth and say goodbye

(Chorus)

Only the good die young
Only the good die young


9. BAD ACTRESS

Twenty-one years and you answer the call
Hollywood screams from your bedroom wall
You can't get away from the thrill of it all

Bye-bye baby
Get me out of here I'm done
A girl gone crazy
You ain't foolin'anyone

You can't sing can't dance
Can't fit in your pants
You're a bad actress
You can't run can't walk gotta learn how to talk
You're a bad actress

Come on down and walk the moonlit mile
You've got the perfect teeth
You've got the perfect smile
You do it all wrong but you do it in style
Oh yeah

Bye-bye baby
Get me out of here I'm done
A girl gone crazy
You ain't foolin'anyone

You can't sing can't dance
Can't fit in your pants
You're a bad actress
You can't run can't walk gotta learn how to talk
You're a bad actress

You can't read can't write gotta learn how to fight
You're a bad actress
You're too cold too old and the story's been told bout
The bad actress

Bye-bye baby
Get me out of here I'm done
A girl gone crazy
You ain't foolin' anyone

You can't sing can't dance
Can't fit in your pants
You're a bad actress

You can't run can't walk gotta learn how to talk
You're a bad actress

You can't read can't write gotta learn how to fight
You're a bad actress

You're too cold too old and the story's been told bout

Bad actress
Oooh
Bad actress

Bad actress
Too bad

Aah what's a girl like you doing in a nice place like this?


10. COME UNDONE

C'mon in, welcome, enter
We've got you front roll center
For the freak show parade...

Everybody want's to be you
But I know you see right through it
Sad mascarade...

Wrap your arms around me like a wire
You reach into my soul pull out the fire

When I come undone I know you're the only one
Who can touch me when I call out your name
When I come udone I know you're the only one
Who can put me back together again...

You've got what it takes to make me
So won't you come and shake me out of this haze
All to know those dreams you're sellin'
God knows, man, he's not tellin'
He's had better days...

Awaitin' here your voice apove me callin'
You dragged me to my knees, but I'm still fallin'

When I come undone I know you're the only one
Who can touch me when I call out your name
When I come udone I know you're the only one
Who can put me back together again...

I can't close my ayes
Can't hide the tear
I feel the earth beneath my feet dissapear
I'm out of words, I'm out of time
Give me your hand
Reach out for mine...

Wrap your arms around me like a wire
You reach into my soul pull out the fire

When I come undone I know you're the only one
Who can touch me when I call out your name
When I come udone I know you're the only one
Who can put me back together again...
Who can put me back together again...


11. GOTTA LET IT GO

All or nothing women take it all away
In for the kill theres blood on the water its flowin your way now i
Dont know nothin but i know its a long way down
The king of the hill you reach for the sky your losing your crown

You tell it to the one
You tell it to the sun
You tell it to the friends who come and gone
You tell it to the sun yeah yeah again and again

Gotta let it go
Gotta let it go
Ya you run away
Gotta let it go
Gotta let it go
You run away gotta let it go

You came out of nothing crawling out of history
The man of the hour you done the time you hold the key
And there was something
Something just beyond your reach
The bigger the prize the more you desire the less you can feel

You do it for yourself theres really no one else
Another empty picture on the shelf your hangin all alone
Yeah again and again

Gotta let it go
Gotta let it go
Ya you run away
Gotta let it go
Gotta let it go
You run away gotta let it go

All you wanted all you needed all you got and

Gotta let it go
Gotta let it go
Ya you run away
Gotta let it go
Gotta let it go
You run away gotta let it go
