(Lawless)
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls
And wild ones of all ages
Step right up, I welcome you to come on in
Inside the electric circus
The music is your passport, your magic key
To all the madness that awaits you
Feel the thunder and the frenzy
And see all the unusual animals
And the animals?
Well, they're something else
INSIDE THE ELECTRIC CIRCUS
(Lawless)
A scream unlocks the cage
The roars rock the stage
Hunger of the animals are calling
Thrive upon the rage
Paw prints on the page
The room's going wild, walls are falling
Lights shine illumination bright
Reveal all the madness here tonight
Welcome, I bid you welcome to life
Inside the electric circus
Hang on, hang on for your life
The animals are all insane
God help us
Electricity to burn
Amplifiers churn
Three ring madhouse calls the action
It's life upon the road
Insane asylum grows
Night after night, the main attraction
A strange world that you might wanna know
When it comes alive - crank up the show
I DON'T NEED NO DOCTOR
(Ashford / Simpson / Armstead)
I don't need no doctor
Cause I know what's ailing me
All I need is my baby
You don't know I'm in misery
I don't need no doctor
I don't need no doctor
My prescription tells me that
All I need is my baby
You don't know I'm in misery
I don't need no doctor
Well the doctor said I need rest
He put me on the critical list
Keeping me safe from harm
All I need is her sweet charm
He gave me a medicated lotion
That wouldn't do
Ooh, yeah my emotion
Oh, yeah, no doctor, no!
I don't need no doctor
9.5. N.A.S.T.Y.
(Lawless / Holmes)
One woman down my street is
Too hot for the average man
Hard to handle, a fire in her eyes
Wants the hot rocks right in her hand
I know she's burning, hot with love
A come on look and she ain't fooling
And she knows just what it does
She gave me a number to make me feel fine
Said call me up baby
It's gonna be 9.5. N.A.S.T.Y.
You're everything I need
Cause I want what you're giving
I'm yours to do with what you please
Ooh, no mama's baby this child
She's a killer wrapped in high heel shoes
Touch the skin it burns like fire
I don't even care if I'm being used
Threw me down and then she tore off my jeans
She said, come on baby, I mean business
I'm gonna show you what liberated means
Do it to me baby, I'm losing my mind
She said call me up honey tonight
I'm 9.5. N.A.S.T.Y.
You're everything I need
Cause I want what you're giving
I'm yours to do with what you please
Some bad habits, are hard to break
Like an earthquake coming
I gotta shake, shake, shake...
RESTLESS GYPSY
(Lawless)
For so long now, I'm racing on, in the wind
On this road, I'm moving on
I feel her heat, the desert sun burning skin
Never stopping, always on the run
Ooh, forever all I want is you here by my side
But I can't wait too long, no
Holding me, is like, taming the seven seas
I want restless gypsy, all I need
Is to catch the wind, where my heart's in
And I'm riding in the breeze
Call me restless gypsy, to the end
Riding free - is all I need
My spirit's in the wind
Move too fast, no never hold me down
Catch me if you really think you can
Feel my touch, two lover cry that sound
Never, ever knowing who I am
Ooh, I want you closer baby, don't you take too long
Cause tomorrow I'll be gone, yeah
And holding me, is like, holding the seven seas
Easy rider on the highway
Got the wind in my hair
Come on, you can touch me where I lay
Running free without a care
SHOOT FROM THE HIP
(Lawless)
Oh, look out, here comes trouble!
All my life I've taken what I want
Give an inch, take a mile
Always on the hunt
Ooh, sex, money, fast cars, never get my fill
I ride hard and die free
Paying for my thrills
Firewater moonshine going to my head
Me and my pistol's loaded
Go out and knock them dead
I'm gonna shoot it, bang boom
Shoot it from the hip
Got it loaded bang, pull the trigger boom
I don't never miss
I'm gonna shoot it, bang boom
Shoot it from the hip
Got it loaded bang, pull the trigger boom
Cock it and let ever rip
Hot sweaty steel, a woman's fingers on my gun
Pull it hard, touch the trigger
Squeeze it when I'm done
Ooh, come woman, touch me, put it in your hand
Take a hold, heart and soul
Honey I'm your man
Cock the hammer slowly
And aim it at your love
Put my barrel in your holster
Like a velvet glove
Hot and sticky, here it comes
Emotion you can't tame
Kind a tricky watch it run
Smoking like a flame
Hot and sticky, here it comes
I got the bullets, load it up
Slide it into place
My emotions
Coming down all across your face
I'M ALIVE
(Lawless)
The target is me, a monster you flee
I hate what you say and you do
A mirror is there and look if you dare
The fool that you see's only you
Oh, no, you won't, nail me to you tree
Or hang my head up high
No kingdom reigns over me
Despite all the liars I see
Don't give me your
"Save my soul" cure
I'm still alive, and I am a soul survivor
You can't understand, why
I'm still alive, and I am a soul survivor
Damn you holy man - alive
Can't understand, the Lord of the Land
You heart and your head made of stone
Lay in the sand my blood on your hands
For God's sake just leave me alone
Oh, no, you won't, nail me to your tree
Or hang my head up high
Restless is all I can be
Ruthless and reckless you see
I don't need your
"Save my soul" cure
Force suppression, that's what you do
Tell me what's in it for you
Listen, I'm on to your game
All your lies are the same
EASY LIVING
(Hensley)
This is a thing I've never known before
It's called easy living
This is a place I've never seen before
And I've been forgiven
Easy living, I've been forgiven
Since you've taken your place in my heart
Somewhere along the lonely road
I had tried to find you
Day after day on the winding road
I had walked behind you
Waiting, watching, wishing my whole life away
Feeling, fainting, ready for my happy day
SWEET CHEETAH
(Lawless / Holmes)
One night as I rode down
Some long winding road
I saw you, and I knew
I couldn't let you go
Half child and all woman
Vision fantasy
Casting against the moonlight
Bathed in ecstacy
Leopard skin and cat's eyes
Has the jungle made you wild
The prey you're after, if you're faster
Will it make you smile
Ride with me, I'll set you free
Chains can't hold us down
I need you, if you want me
Lovers we are bound
Sweet Cheetah
I love it when your claws run through me
Fever, I love it babe
Come do it to me
Skin tight you move in
So slowly to thrill
Waiting for the night-time
Then your in for the kill
Amazon so sleekly
You know what you do
Eat the flesh, and save my heart
And leave it when you're through
Pain and pleasures all mine
Untamed and running wild
Sink your teeth into me
Lick your lips and smile
Take my hand and ride the land
Forever you and me
Hold on tight, to me all night
And set your spirit free
MANTRONIC
(Lawless / Holmes)
You see me, a man and machine
All my life, so hungry and lean
Watch me bleed, and I feel no pain
I'm going wild, and slowly insane
Mantronic, I'm on the loose
Bionic, my neck in the noose
Mantronic, I'm still the king
Bionic, half man and machine
One fast lane, on top of the world
Balls of steel, mechanical pearls
I pay my dues and suffer alone
Feel like hell, and cut to the bone
Be careful now
Because what you wish for
Just may come true
If you look
Behind that door
KING OF SODOM AND GOMORRAH
(Lawless / Holmes)
So you wanna know what's going on
When we get wild, and we're up until dawn
The parties and the stories, they're all true
Ain't nothing left when we're through
One distant land where it's all sin and sand
King of Sodom, I want the flesh
Gotta have it, I love it to death
King of Sodom, I eat them alive
Like a savage, the strong will survive
Wicked souls, a hunger for lust
You lay it down, we're going for bust
We live a life, that's hell on wheels
You don't know how it feels
Ride the wind, and soon you'll all be in
Sodom and Gommorrah
Ooh, sweet Gommorrah
We're the present tribe
Children of the fire
Burning up alive
THE ROCK ROLLS ON
(Lawless)
There's never a day
That's passing my way
That I never need it
My hands on the wheel
My foot's on the steel
Cause I gotta feel it
The rock rolls forever on
Like thunder - coming down
Ooh, it's coming down
The rock rolls forever on
Like thunder - coming down
Aah, yeah!
It flows through my veins
Like thunder and rain
And I can't live without it
I scream for the crowds
And turn it up loud
Cause I gotta shout it
Six string and lightning strikes
Come make me blind
Aah, burn it up
Bring down the pedal to the metal
Just one more time
Aah, turn it up
Forever never stop
