brani:
A good looking girl just like all of the rest
Checking her make – up again and again
Spends all her time in pursuit of a quest
Like in the movies she’s seen
She’s playing – romantic games
She’s falling – in love again
She’s dreaming – of riding in Cadillacs
She’s only – an Italian girl
Leaving behind inhibitions and fears
Now is the time to be proud and free
Knows how to separate the men from the boys
That’s how it’s going to be
She’s dreaming – of riding in Cadillacs
She’s falling – in love again
She’s playing – romantic games
She’s only – an Italian girl
Like the way she looks
So desirable
She’s got what it takes
She knows it
Like the way she talks
So delectable
She’s got what it takes
I know.
Every road that I travel
All by myself
Stops me taking my place in your heart
Don’t have schemes to unravel
Where you’re concerned
You knew me so well from the start
With or without me girl
Where would you be
You’re just a natural born
Loner like me
Wanna live my existence
In my own time
Wanna stand up on my own two feet
Don’t put up no resistance
To my desires
You know we where destined to meet
Leave my illusions free
Just for a while
One day I know I’ll walk
My last mile
Running after
Easy chances
Leaves you wond’ring what you left behind
Running faster
Down the right road
Makes you wonder what else you can find.
You made me aware of harmony
You walked right into my life so easy/easily
You gave me your love and set me free
It was your only desire to please me
But I took your loving and broke your heart
My way of living tore you apart
Life was just a road that led to hell
No easier way to bring me despair
You knew all the answers oh so well
Standing by me though I didn’t care
But I took your loving and broke your heart in two
My way of living tore you apart
Your dedication gonna make me wanna stay with you
I wanna stay, I’m losing, losing my evil ways
You’re taking, taking my blues away
Believe me it’s what I’m waiting for (looking for)
Take a look in my eyes
I really wanna stay
My heart is telling no lies
I know it every time
I take a look in your eyes.
(Instrumental)
When I saw you late last night
Didn’t know what’s wrong or right
‘Cause I got this feeling in my bones
It’s the way you move your hips
And the way you lick your lips
Couldn’t wait to get you alone
Gonna try in every way to take a ride with you
I promise you It’s gonna last the whole night through
It’s gonna take your breath away
I’m gonna get right next to you
Wanna lay my hands on you
Gonna touch you everywhere I please
You bring out the beast in me
Won’t you take the rest of me
Don’t make me get down on my knees
And in the morning when I wake up by your side
I’ll talk of love to you and feel so warm inside
You really take my breath away
You know – baby
I’m not an angel in disguise
I know – let’s go
Try me out you’ll wanna stay
Don’t say – maybe
Can’t you see the longing in my eyes.
Lies, are written on every face
S’what makes the world go around
Y’know, it’s just like a cold embrace
Trading in lies sets the pace
No use in looking for a reason
In the end living breaks you down one more time
Laying low
Behind the scenes
Life is always making evil schemes
Take a chance
One way ride
You don’t have nobody on your side
Life, can light up the deepest darkness
Can soften the hate in our souls/hearts
Fly, away on the wings of silence
Just leaving memories behind
Nothing else lasts for such a long time
Relying only on those lies one more time.
You’re the man with the killing machine
Keep on tracking those victims down
She’s the girl with her head full of dreams
Strutting around down town
He’s the one who’s been dealing the trade
He’s a happy man
Got nothing to lose
It’s not against the law
It’s the fear that you see in those eyes
Makes the hunter feel so strong
No place to run you’re taken by surprise
Freedom don’t last long
No one knows why you’re losing your life
He’s only half a man
But feels so good
When he can shoot you down
We go – hunting without a cause
Need to – stop all these killing games
We go – shooting without remorse
Need to – kill the killer
We go – hunting without a cause
Need to – stop all these killing games
We go – shooting without remorse
Need to – kill the killers one by one and stop them.
Wings upon my heels
Never touch the ground
(I) know how it feels
Always looking round
(A) step ahead of time
(My) fear close behind
Scared of losing
Nothing lingers
Moments slipping right through my fingers
I’ve seen too much
But don’t say I won’t see no more
My anger is such
It’s burning me to the core
There won’t be no pain
Where there’s no deceit
Hate’s the real shame
The trials of defeat
Can be found within
Where our hopes begin.
Take good care of those smiling faces
They can take your best away
All dressed up like a fake prima donna
You gotta be looking your best
Never doing what you really wanna
‘Cause you’re scared just like the rest
It’s a social condition
Standing up to the test
You can’t lose your position – Oh no
Take a look at yourself
You’re wasting away – Oh no
Run away like Cinderella at midnight
Or they’ll see you dressed in rags
Never show that you really don’t feel right
Drink the cup down to the dregs
It’s your biggest ambition
To be a number one star
Ain’t no competition – Oh no
It’s all decided before
You ever get there – Oh yeah.
Up in arms we’ll start to fight
We’re the ones to blame
Standing strong with all our might
We know the rules of the game
All the words and promises
Will disappear in time
Don’t you hear the man that says
We’re all partners in crime
Let’s walk down the road to changes
We’ll never see
Don’t talk about all the heroes
We’ll never be
We’re living a lonely war
That’s never been fought before
Keep your fears out of sight
It’s no easy but
Don’t give up the fight
Tonight we’ll be warriors tonight
And drive our illusions to flight
Tonight – we can work it out.
