Альбом Meat Loaf

I stare in the mirror
My eyes refuse to blink
Sympathy for me
Hell I can't even think
Send for the iceman, my temperature is startin' to rise
I've heard it before, I know the truth from the lies

Is it any wonder, heaven's racked with thunder
And all of my dreams go under
Like the fallin' rain

Execution Day

Voices like locusts keep smothering me
Twistin' and turnin' my senses like a cyclone at sea
Don't touch me now
Won't let you crucify me
You ain't no damn jury
You can't pass sentence on me

Is it any wonder, heaven's racked with thunder
And all of my dreams go under
Like the fallin' rain

Execution Day
Execution Day
Execution Day
Execution Day

Whose blood on whose hand
Where's the promsised they preached for this land
Standin' with their bibles clutched in their hand
Whose blood on whose hand
Whose blood on whose hand

(instrumental bridge)

Father my hand's are shakin'
I see a light that's breakin'
Show me a way to set my soul free
I hope it rains on me
Let it rain on me

Execution Day
Execution Day
Execution Day
Execution Day

Chorus:

Talking about Rock 'N' Roll Mercenaries
Soldiers of fortune by some other name
I'm talking about Rock 'N' Roll Mercenaries
Money is power
Power is Fame

Everything you pay to hear
Just listen
Everything to catch your ear
Just listen
Whatever it takes they're ready to sell
Anything and everything they do it themselves

(chorus)

It starts with a game
See how they play
'Till all of the laughter has faded away
It's not for the song
It's not for the love
It's just for the gold
And there's never enough
Never enough

(chorus)

It's not for the song
It's not for the love
It's just for the gold
And there's never enough
Never enough

(chorus)

She thought she had the only key
She thought you only opened up to her, well you see
I don't know why you call it love

She though she was the brightest light
But someone else was lighting up your life, what I think
I don't know why you call it love

I'm not suspicious, no not me
But I'm not blind and I'd have to not to see

Chorus:

Gettin' away with murder
You can love a girl and hurt her
That's gettin' away with, gettin' away with murder
You can tell a girl you love her
While you're working on another
That's gettin' away with, gettin' away with murder

You have had to love and run
Two in the hand has left you holdin' none, and I don't
I don't know how you call it love, no, no
You're not demanding, no not you
You're understanding
You do what you want to

She thought she was the brightest light
But someone else was lighting up your life, what I think
I don't know why you call it love

I'm not suspicious, no not me
But I'm not blind and I'd have to not to see

(chorus)

You said she was the only one
But you were cheating all along
There ought to be a law for what you've done

I've got to save you from yourself
I've got to stop you hurtin' someone else

(chorus)x2

Part One:

At sunset you hear the soft parade is coming
The cars and the beast behind all start humming
And ooh you got a cool machine
So let's get it runnin'
We'll break the silence of the night
And you know they're gonna hear us comin'

We always see them whisper
We know they're gonna talk
They fantsise the mysteries
'bout the night and the dark

So baby one more kiss
Baby one more kiss
We never have to say goodbye
And baby one more kiss
Babay one more kiss
It brings a little luck to the night

Artists they got their easels
They're ready on the mark
Gonna try and take the pictures of the dust
And the gold in the sparks
And ooh you got a cool machine
Baby let's get it runnin'
You never looked so good before
And your time it's finally comin'

'Cause our home is the wind
We're the gods of the mornin'
Champions of the night
When the engines are runnin'

So just one more kiss
Baby one more kiss
Never wanna see you cry
And baby one more kiss
Baby one more kiss
It brings a little luck to the night
Oh one more kiss
Yes just one more kiss
We never have to say goodbye

Part Two:

Ready
Ready to Roll
Ready
Ready to Roll
Ready
Ready to Roll
Ready
Ready to Roll
Ready

Under my foot gonna hit it down
Take this stance before the crowd
Sleepin' city urban fall
Summer's sadness time to answer the call

Cool machine
Get it runnin'
Ready to roll

Soft hands around my neck
One more kiss then time to connect
Leave this child leave me all alone
This one's mine and I'm takin' it home

Ready Ready
Ready to Roll
This one's mine and I'm takin' it home

Part Three:

Now beind closed walls
New histories start to rise
Of the soft parade
And the heroes where they lie
And ooh you've got a cool machine
So baby let's get it runnin'
You never looked so good before
And you know your time it's finally comin'

'Cause our home is the wind
We're the gods of the mornin'
Champions of the night
When the engines are runnin'

One more kiss
One more kiss
One more kiss
One more kiss
One more kiss
One more kiss
It brings a little luck
Brings a little luck to the night

Ooh one more kiss
One more kiss
Baby one more kiss
We never have to say goodbye
And ooh you've got a cool machine
Baby let's get it runnin...

Chorus:

And I'll go blind before I stop
They're gonna have to come along and lock me up
And I'll go blind before I stop
'Cause this boy Mama just- Wanna rock

There's a two ton fireball burnin' through the headphones
Cuttin' up my heart, makin' ashes of my soul
A lighting bolt petition, tonight I'm gonna sign
Trouble out my window and I'm gonna find it

Bridge:

Now I'm feelin' the fever
Takin' in the heat
Bouncin' to the boogie
Hittin' with the beat
Wrapped in the rhythm
Dancin' 'till we drop

(chorus)

Moonlite madness masquerade
Got my invitation baby time to play
Rip of my headphones
Shove my arm into the socket
Sound comes rushing through me
Like an intravenous rocket

(bridge)

(chorus)

Autobahn:

Doin' it in the market
Doin' it in the mall
Doin' it in the bushes
And the high school hall

Doin' it in the alley
Doin' it for free
Now they're doin' it baby
On MTV

Doin' it in the backseat
Doin' it on the beach
Doin' it in the grandstand
Just dancin' on the seats

Doin' it in the movies
Doin' on the train Doin' it mile high
In a big jet plane

(bridge)

(chorus)

If it takes them so long
So long to say yes
Why don't they just say no

We don't need anyone
To be put to the test
Why don't they let us be

Livin' for the right to be
Livin' for the right
Livin' for the right to be
Livin' for the right
Livin' for the right to be free

We needed a plan
We needed defences
They couldn't raise a smile

As the world looked down
They raided our senses
There can be no reconcile

Livin' for the right to be
Livin' for the right
Livin' for the right to be
Livin' for the right
Livin' for the right to be free

Burnin' Down
Burnin' Down
Burnin' Down
Burnin' Down
Burnin' Down
Burnin' Down
Burnin' Down
Burnin' Down

There was a time in our life
Was taken for granted
It'll never come again
Our flower is dead
The seed is unplanted
They put it all to the flame

Burnin' Down
Burnin' Down
Burnin' Down
Burnin' Down

Livin' for the right to be
Livin' for the right
Livin' for the right to be
Livin' for the right
Livin' for the right to be free

Burnin' Down
Burnin' Down
Burnin' Down
Burnin' Down

I ain't livin' here no more
I ain't even keepin' score
It's too late to change, it's over
I'm drowned in a sea of tears

Nothin' I can say to you makes any difference
There ain't nothin' I can do
None of it's makin' sense

Chorus:

Standing on the outside
Lookin' in at you
Standing on the outside
I'm running out of time

I'm so tired of being alone
In a world that feels so cold
There's got to be a light that I can find
There's got to be a soul somewhere that shines for me

Now I don't want to live without love anymore
I just wanna live my life
Love's gonna open up the door
Show me it's light again

(chorus)

Nothin' I can say to you makes any difference
There ain't nothin' I can do
None of it's makin' sense

(chorus)

You got me on the run
You got me your way
Now I'm feeling pretty good
And I'm beginning to sweat
Your love is so fine
You got me feeling alright
Going out of my mind
I got to have you tonight

The girl's so deep inside
Like blood in my veins
Never lets me hide
Now I'm going insane
It makes me climb the walls
Bite my nails to the bone
It's always by mide side
It never leaves me alone

When it's time to get tough
I'm masculine
When she wants to play rough
I'm masculine
Masculine

I know that I'm a man
From the spark in my soul
It can make you so hot
You go out of control
Grab her by the hair
Drag her back to your cave
It's what makes a man a man
People always stay the same

When it's time to get tough
I'm masculine
Masculine Masculine
When she wants to play rough
I'm masculine
Masculine
Masculine
Masculine

In the heat of the nite
Masculine
And the dark of the day
Masculine
Anytime anyplace anyway
Masculine

When it's time to get tough
(masculine masculine)
When she wants to play rough
(masculine masculine)
If you push me I'll shove
(masculine masculine)
When she wants to make love
(masculine masculine) -(repeats to fade)

And as the band began to play
Without a song they lose their way
A song of love and custom dreams
A song of yesterday

When they danced
When they danced
Her skirts were lifted high
She felt the music in his arms
The danger in his eyes

And a woman said no
And a man said but I love you so
And a woman moved closer
And a man said take my love into your heart
I must have you here by my side

It happened all too fast
They came to love and they came to last
No-one remembers now who lied
True love is made glass

And a woman said change
And a man said as soon as I can
And a woman said open up
And a man said your way's right
You're my love
I want to be holdin' you down

In the evening of their lives
No regrets and clear blue skies
They meet again in old New York
He tells her one sweet lie

And they danced
And they danced
And a man said I love you
And a woman said take my love into your heart
I must have you here by my side

Into each life a little sunlight wants to shine
Let me tell you fortune life that once was mine

Chorus:

She was a special girl
She meant the world to me
And I gave her everything

When I found her I'd been looking everywhere
And when I lost her, I was lost beyond despair

(chorus)

Dreams are hard to touch
Could it be I love her too much

(chorus)

Bottom line is she was fine in every way
And it's not with hesitation that I say

(chorus)

Dreams they come and go
But thoughts, like love, will always grow

I sold my soul to rock 'n' roll
When it didn't cost a thing
Stacks of scratched up 45's
And taught myself how to sing

What does it take to be a rock 'n' roll hero
Just like the king
Living your life in a blaze of glory
Burnin' it up in a smoke filled club
Givin' your soul to the world

Chorus:

Like a rock 'n' roll hero
A soldier of fortune in the night
Like a rock 'n' roll hero
When the white hot lights cut thru the night
And the sound of the thunder starts rearing
That's when you know what you're savin' it for
And you're feeling like a rock 'n' roll hero

I owe it all to rock 'n' roll
And I wouldn't want to change a thing
Got this old guitar strapped around my neck
And my baby waiting in the wings

What does it take to be a rock 'n' roll hero
Just like the king
Living your life in a blaze of glory
Burnin' it up in a smoke filled club
Givin' your soul to the world

(chorus)
