Lyrics


1. MAIN ATTRACTION

There's a light
At the end of the tunnel
It's rock and roll

There's no fight
Words into action
Your life is your own

The tarp is rising
Take the thunder
And show us your home

I say

We celebrate it
We generate it

The main attraction
Satisfaction guaranteed to rock the chains that bind you

Oh whoa-whoa !

You can fate
Your time has come
To feel the need

Don't be safe
The sky is the limit
No need to retreat

So take your best shot
And place your bet on what you know
(God can tell you)

The stage is set now
You've got to know how

For

[Chorus]
The main attraction
Satisfaction guaranteed to rock the chains that bind you
The main attraction
Your reaction guaranteed to leave your tracks behind you

In the end
We'll stand in the spotlight
We are the show
(Here we go)

We'll defend
Here's our performance
It's all we know

We capture the moment
Power and glory is ours to hold
(And you never let go)

It's a celebration
The instigation

It's

[Chorus]

Main attraction
Satisfaction
The main attraction
Your reaction


2. THE WILD AND THE YOUNG

Times are changing
Nothing stays the same
For this jukebox generation

Adhere to fashion
Like computer games
Modern day communication

The news hard to take
Will fade tomorrow
They are the strong
They'll survive

The wild and the young
They all have their dreams
The wild and the young
They've got to be free
The sun never sets
For souls on the run
The wild and the young

Yeah
Hah !

Roaring passion
With no guilt or shame
It's accepting education, yeah !

Misbehaving
No regrets, no blame
With a bold kind of sophistication

So close to the edge
And high on the wire
They are not wrong
They're alive

[Chorus]
The wild and the young
They all have their dreams
The wild and the young
They've got to be free
The sun never sets
For souls on the run
The wild and the young

Ha!

So close to the edge
And high on the wire
They are not wrong
They're alive

Look out!

Wild, wild
The wild and the
Young, y-y-y-young

The wild and the young
They all have their dreams
The wild and the young
They've got to be free
The sun never sets
For souls on the run

[Chorus]

Oh yeah

The wild and the young
Oh

Right


3. TWILIGHT HOTEL

Midnight masquerade
Innocent fantasies
Never ended from room to room

Dressed up for sharades
Every guest has a part to play
And the rules are understood

Undercover
A secret rendez-vous
They won't discover
That it's me and it's you

[Chorus #1]
At the Twilight Hotel
Check your soul at the door
They've got memories to sell
And so much more

Last call at the bar
Fast talkin' it promises
Never really reaching the lines

Seems to bizarre
Such a twisted reality
This place full of manic minds

It's like a dreamland
With time standing still
So make your big plans
They've got all the frills

[Chorus #1]

[Chorus #2]
In the Twilight Hotel
Price of life still like gold
It's a twilight magic spell
And anything goes

Undercover
A secret rendez-vous
They won't discover
That it's me and it's you

[Chorus #1]

[Chorus #2]


4. DOWN AND DIRTY

She's a dancing girl who brings up the heat
Hits on all the men
She knows how to move and make you feel
Like you want to get into sin

A chocolate bar was going really far
Really made me catch my breath
So she had an unordinary glance
I got down tools in the chest

Down and dirty
You're down and dirty, alright
She's down and dirty
You're down and dirty

She twisted her ass around drinks
While the dirty works the girl's booty
Whispered in my ear what I want to hear
Says, "Come with me baby, let's play." (Okay !)

She went to the back to get her traps

My sixth sense was bothering me
She came to work and something I heard
Makes me want to get comfy

Down and dirty
She's down and dirty, alright
Get down and dirty
Get down (Listen)
Down and dirty

Woo !
Alright
Ooh yeah

Well there's something going on
Something I've never known before
Leather and lace is all that I can see
I lost my power of will
You know she should be still
Never thought I'd get hit by some teen, no

I start to bleed, have mercy on me
I'm feelin' a bit distressed
What you're doing to me is so obscene
Got myself into a mess

She started to dance, I grabbed my pants
Found my way to the door
Hot on my trail, a thousand females
Saying, "Baby, more more more!"

Down and dirty
(Hurt me)
Down and dirty
(Well, well, well)
Down and dirty
(Oh yeah)
Get down and dirty
(She is)

Get down (Down)
Get dirty (Dirty)
Take me down (Alright)

One more

Get down (Oh yeah)
Get dirty (Turn around)
Get down (Come over here)
Down and dirty

Come back for more, ya hear ? Hah !


5. RISE OR FALL

Take action
Gotta raise a fist in blood
Domination
Can't continue acting like jerks

You show me all there's a chance
With only words for defence
There is no freedom to speak, no

[Chorus]
Rise or fall
Number one to take the stand
Rise or fall
Take a word from this promised land

Yeah

Your reaction
Sticks and stones are no match for steel
This rebellion
Revolution's in your hands

Now listen

So it's part Apache
Do you know what that means ?
Is it a segregation ?

[Chorus]

Strength in numbers can alter your place
Take the action before it's too late
Make a stand

Give it up

[Chorus]

Rise or fall
Number one to take the stand
Rise or fall
Take a word
Take a word from this land

Rise or fall
Rise or fall


6. PUT UP OR SHUT UP

Alright

She's got hurricane eyes
And know what she sees
She's got lovin' thighs
And she gets it for free

She makes a cigarette shake
And don't need no advice
She won't put on the breaks
And you feed her device, yeah

She's gonna tease you up and down now
Gonna play for keeps

I said

Put up
Or shut it up now
Put up
Or shut it up

Yeah
Ha !

She's got hounds on her trail
And they follow her scent
She's the kind of female
That don't need no good sense
(She's wild)

She's got a license to thrill
And she shoots from the hip
Takes her power up well
And your passion is sure to drip

And all so packaged move for speed now
When the feeling climbs

I said

Put up
Or shut it up now
(You gotta, gotta)
Put up
Or shut it up

Yeah

Listen

You want a piece of the action
And I don't want to be cheated, no
Gotta feel the connection
She's turning on her feet, yeah!

Oh, here we go
Comin' to getcha babe
Oh yeah

She's got hurricane eyes
And you know what she sees
She's got love in her thighs
And she gives it away for free

She's gonna tease you up and down now
Gonna play for keeps

You gotta

Put up
Or shut it up now
I said
Put up (Ha !)
Or shut it up (Now)
Why don'tcha
Put up
Or shut it up
Why don'tcha
Put it up
Or shut it up

Why don'tcha
Put up
Or shut it up now
Put it up
Or shut it up now

Woo !


7. STILL OF THE NIGHT

We're not the ones to blame
Burning passions mixed with pain
Past the point of no return
Nothing stays the same

The streets become our home
Restless souls out on our own
Trapped my ruins made by fools
Chasing the unknown

[Chorus]
In the still of the night
With nowhere to turn
We took a roll of the dice
And we learn
And in the still of the night
Streets of fire will burn
As we run for our lives
To survive

Yeah

Voices in the dark
Calling us to play a part
Little be known the razor's edge
Have we gone too far ?

Every chance that we take
There is a price that must be paid
It's easy come and easy go
But we are here to stay

Yeah !

[Chorus]

Yeah

Oh!

In the still of the night (Of the night)
With nowhere to turn
We took a roll of the dice
And we learn
And in the still of the night
Streets of fire will burn
As we run, run for our lives
To survive
To survive
To survive

And where do I turn
In the still of the night
And what did I learn
In the still of the night
The fires still burn, yeah
Yeah, yeah


8. BASS CASE

(Instrumental)


9. THE PUMP

Get ready
Hah !

We got blind compassion
Don't need discussion
Think you know just what I mean
Nowhere's a smokin'
While the rules are broken
Had to be seen to be believed
As a preacher of lust
You gotta do what you must
Practice what you preach
If you got an invitation
We'll change the location
Gotta have room to breathe

I want love, huh !
Whole lotta love, tons !
Give me love
Our love

Well let's pump her, pump her
Strike it rich what you're dreamin' of
(The Pump)
Let's pump her, pump her
(Damn)
We're gonna hunt for gold
Gonna dig for love

The more I get
The more I want
Love mushes out my brain
She's gotta move real slow
High and low
The girl's gonna drive me insane
She's got a real cool cat
That know where it's at
Has to be the ultimate find
Have you heard the score
Ready for more
I knew that the pump was the prize

I want love
Give your love
Wow !
Love
Ooh
Love

Well let's pump her, pump her
Strike it rich what you're dreamin' of
Let's pump her, pump her
(It's the way you find)
We're gonna hunt for gold
Gonna dig for love

Oh get down
Ooh ! Ooh ! Ow !
C'mon
Oh
Push it baby
Give it to me
Oh yeah !

I want love
All your love
Whole lotta love
Cheap chime for love

Well let's pump her, pump her
(You know what I'm saying baby)
Strike it rich what you're dreamin' of
(C'mon give it to me)
Let's pump her, pump her
We're gonna hunt for gold
Gonna dig for love

One more

Get down
Ha!
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah !
Push it, push it, push it, push it
Oh ! Oh ! Oh !
C'mon
Ooh
Ha


10. SLAVE TO LOVE

You're the hunter, I'm the game
Since we met, I'm not the same
The hunger in you can't be satisfied

You had a secret strategy
To take control and capture me
I lost my will and now I'm paralyzed

[Chorus]
We made a slave to love
That's what I'll always be
A victim of your touch
You stole my soul and now I'm just a slave to love

Yeah

It took one night at your hotel
To fall from grace into your spell
I can't believe you brought me to my knees

You kiss me once and love me twice
I'm on your mental sacrifice
Your target's touch was hot and aim to please

[Chorus]

Oh, I'm being used
Been held hostage for so long
Is this a one way love affair
Really wrong

[Chorus]

Just a slave to love

Just a slave to love
A victim of your touch


11. HELPING HANDS

You gotta believe we can change the world
Don't turn a blind eye to tomorrow's world
But on the good side looking out
Don't take for granted the silent shout

The hands of time are rolling past
To turn the tide, we must move fast
Let's share the hope and pull some strings
We hold the answer this vision sings

[Chorus #1]
They're holding on
But for how long
Let's set them free

[Chorus #2]
Put your helping hands together rockin' on for survival
Gotta take a stand, time to make a plan, don't sit idle
We are the key to the dreams
It's not as hard as it seems
No
Get up and put your hands together
All your helping hands

Oh yeah

We're three steps down, you're two steps back
No more widgin' and that's a fact
A call to arms, let's take a stand
It's up to you to lend a helping hand

[Chorus #1]

[Chorus #2]

Yeah

We're the thunder in the storm
That brings the winds of change
Together we can overcome
And start a brand new day

Put your helping hands together rockin' on for survival (Yeah yeah)
Gotta take a stand, it's time to make a plan, don't sit idle (No, no, no, no)
Put your helping hands together rockin' on for survival
Gotta take a stand, c'mon make a plan, don't sit idle (Oh !)
