BALLS TO THE WALL

Walking down the main street
I see a city's face
Boys dressed in leather
Girls dressed in lace
See the easy riders
They're roaring down their way
They need to give full speed ahead

They've been bunched together
To keep their crazy life
They turn on the power
Get wrecked every night
Got some kind of feeling
Looking in his eyes
I feel the power surge to a head

London leatherboys
Nightmare's pleasure, what you've done
London leatherboys
All together

After all the roaring
The sound of silence scares
Girl of the leader
Cried in his arms
Don't you see the danger
When we are running wild
Please, stop the games, it's getting late

London leatherboys
Nightmare's pleasure, what you've done
London leatherboys
All together

Swearing that he would do - he could not even say
Boy dressed in leather - boy died in pain
They're the easy riders - but heroes die too fast
He was more than the best of the bunch

Best together
Lousy leather
Say what's better
All together

London leatherboys
Nightmare's pleasure, what you've done
London leatherboys
All together

London leatherboys
Nightmare's pleasure, what you've done
London leatherboys
All together

London leatherboys
Nightmare's pleasure, what you've done
London leatherboys
All together

London leatherboys
Nightmare's pleasure, what you've done
London leatherboys
All together

Aaaaahh

Always been the prophets
Who make the world evolve
Always been the average breaking it down
Majority, the unknown
Giving us the rules
It's more than luck to get the standard

You'll never find me
Like I hope that I am
You'll never treat me like you think you can
Be always independent
Surrendering no way
I won't deal with crimes of society

Now, if you hate it
You gotta fight it back
Just try to change it
Fight it - fight it back

Find myself in crisis
Get near to collapse
Am I forced to live that boring life
God, I hate the average
Go and nuke it out
Go - piss the accepted - screw them all

Now, if you hate it
You gotta fight it back
Just try to change it
Fight it - fight it back

Now, if you hate it
You gotta fight it back
Just try to change it
Fight it - fight it back

Now, if you hate it
You gotta fight it back
Just try to change it
Fight it - fight it back

Fight it back, fight it back
You gotta fight it back

Late at night in the park
I saw them slipping in the dark
For heaven's sake what's going on
It's like someone is here
Gotta follow now
Like being in a trance for me
There's silence here
More than all the noise

Spurting in the dark, head over heels
Overheated heart, head over heels
Treating it so hard, the spurting feels
Every day, every night

Spurting in the dark, head over heels
Overheated heart, head over heels
Treating it so hard, the spurting feels
Oh, yeah

Down on my knees, God, help me please
Gotta know who's out in the dark
I've stopped my breath, can't feel my hands
Could hear the sound of people making love

I surrender right now
I've to be touched, I feel so much

Spurting in the dark, head over heels
Overheated heart, head over heels
Treating it so hard the spurting feels
Every day, every night

Spurting in the dark, head over heels
Overheated heart, head over heels
Treating it so hard the spurting feels, yeah

Spurting in the dark, head over heels
Overheated heart, head over heels
Treating it so hard, the spurting feels
Every day, every night

Spurting in the dark, head over heels
Overheated heart, head over heels
Treating it so hard, the spurting feels
Every day, every night

Spurting in the dark, head over heels
Overheated heart, head over heels
Treating it so hard, the spurting feels
Every day, every night

Head over heels, head over heels
Every day, every night
Head over heels, head over heels
Every day, every night

Man, I know that you're out in the crowd
And I feel how you burn your hate in my soul
It's like I'd have my hand in your coat
And feel the stainless steel of your sword

Years have gone by, I know that she's left you
Before I passed by
I was collecting the dreams of the heart
And then she was reborn in my arms

Can't you see that you've lost her soul
She's been gone a long time ago
Man, it's been a long time since you've lost her heart
Yes, it's been a long time since you've lost her heart

Man, you're dying for what you've lost but never had
'Cause you've been losing
More than you have ever had
Man, stop longing for the girl you made so sad
Always losing for so long

For so long, ahh

Man, why are you running blind for the past
Why don't you try to understand
When I found her she was dying
Trying to kill herself

Maybe you didn't know what you've done
But all you wanna do is wrong
Man, you came to kill for someone who's gone
Man, it's been a long time since you've lost her heart

Man, you're dying for what you've lost but never had
'Cause you've been losing
More than you have ever had
Man, stop longing for the girl you made so sad
Always losing for so long

Man, you're dying for what you've lost but never had
'Cause you've been losing
More than you have ever had
Man, stop longing for the girl you made so sad
Always losing for so long

Man, it's been a long time since you've lost her heart
Man, it's been a long time since you've lost her heart
Man, it's been a long time since you've lost her heart
Man, it's been a long time since you've lost her heart
Man, it's been a long time since you've lost her heart
Man, it's been a long time since you've lost her heart

Everyone is telling me that he was born as a love child
By looking in his eyes
Something turned me loose in this hot night

Feeling the power of lust when the guy's passing by
Wrecking one's brain, and I'm going insane, don't know why

I can feel your sex
Winding up the girl in the red dress
And my brain is gone
What is going on? I'm burning inside

Feeling the power of lust when the guy's passing by
Wrecking one's brain, and I'm going insane, don't know why

A love child, running wild
A love child
A love child, running wild
A love child, love child

I gotta tell myself that he was born as a love child
And the story of his way
Should not make me stay in this hot night

Feeling the power of lust when the guy's passing by
Wrecking one's brain, and I'm going insane, don't know why

A love child, running wild
A love child
A love child, running wild
A love child, love child

Don't know what I am, a woman or a man
Many troubles behind me
I'm doing all I can, but I'm what I am
Leave me alone, don't mistreat me

Feeling the power of lust when the guy's passing by
Wrecking one's brain, and I'm going insane, don't know why

A love child, running wild
A love child
A love child, running wild
A love child, love child

I can't wait to get you
Down on the dirty floor
I know it ain't a place
But, come on, and close the door

I'm coming down for pleasure
For head games all night long
Yes, indeed, I wanna have it now
All what you've gotta give

I'm coming to the point
Where I can't hold myself
You shouldn't hold it back
It has to be done

Please, turn me on, turn me on
I can't hold it
Please, turn me on, turn me on
I explode

Please, turn me on, turn me on
I can't hold it
Please, turn me on, turn me on
I explode

It would be good to do it in the nice way
But sorry, I ain't got no time
I know you would like some light
But sorry, here is no lamp

So, please don't stop the feeling
Please, come close to me
I've gotta feel your hand
To bring it to an end

I'm coming to the point
Where I can't hold myself
You shouldn't hold it back
It has to be done

Please, turn me on, turn me on
I can't hold it
Please, turn me on, turn me on
I explode

Please, turn me on, turn me on
I can't hold it
Please, turn me on, turn me on
I explode

Baby, that was a hot lick
But someone's banging the door
Believe me, I'm sorry to stop you
But I'm coming back for more
It was more than I could ask for

Sorry babe, I've gotta go
Guess, there's more than two now
Who wants to break the door
Please, babe, I've gotta go
You have been really good
I know you want some more
But, what can I do
Let's go ahead

Please, turn me on, turn me on
I can't hold it
Please, turn me on, turn me on
I explode

Please, turn me on, turn me on
I can't hold it
Please, turn me on, turn me on
I explode

You told me that you like her
But she doesn't wanna know
You tried so much to take her
But there's no way to go

I know that kind of feeling
Knocking on someone's door
I know the endless crying
When you don't know what you're living for

Write a letter (what's the matter?)
You'll feel better (write a letter)
You'll feel better when it's done

There is one way to show
What you feel for a girl
Write her a lovely letter
Tell her what you're looking for

Don't think it's old fashion
To take one's heart (when it's true)
You gotta take it as a man
When you can't win her in this game

Write a letter (what's the matter?)
You'll feel better (write a letter)
You'll feel better when it's done

There are losers and winners
Just like you and me
Losers and winners

There are losers and winners
Just like you and me
Losers and winners
Just like you and me

You should give me the letter
I'll use it for my own
Maybe she wants to take me
Before she stays alone

Could be my destination
To pick up broken heart
Why don't you take it easy
And screw the girl who's next to you

Write a letter (what's the matter?)
You'll feel better (write a letter)
You'll feel better when it's done

There are losers and winners
Just like you and me
Losers and winners

There are losers and winners
Just like you and me
Losers and winners

Attack, attack, attack
Attack, attack, attack, attack

There are losers and winners
Just like you and me
Losers and winners

There are losers and winners
Just like you and me
Losers and winners

Winners
Just like you and me
Losers and winners

Winners
Just like you and me
Losers and winners

In the night of the day I was born
Quite sure I wouldn't see no tomorrow
All the days I was wasting alone
Always waiting for the nights without sorrows

Mister, mister, you don't know what I am
Can't you hear it always trembling in my voice
Don't you know I'm doing all that I can
But I'm a man without any choice

Everyday's only pain for me
I don't like the sunlight shining on my head
I'm the man that was born for the dark
Every light that shines is making me feel bad

Lady, lady, put your hand on my head
Can't you feel the grieving sorrows in my brain?
'Cause I'm the one who's behaving so bad
I need those feelings for you again

Man of the dark, the guardian of the night
Man of the dark, the guardian of the night

I don't like people working all day
Only working just to see next tomorrow
But they are happy while they're living that way
In that world I gotta beg, steel or borrow

Mister, mister, you don't know what I am
Can't you hear it always trembling in my voice?
Don't you know I'm doing all that I can
But I'm a man without any choice

Man of the dark, the guardian of the night
Man of the dark, the guardian of the night

Of the night
Of the dark

Man of the dark, the guardian of the night
Man of the dark, the guardian of the night
Man of the dark, the guardian of the night
Man of the dark, the guardian of the night

There's snow on the mountains, and fog in the street;
Flickering candles in the room. Hear the churchbell ring.
See the children playing. I fell the pure delight,
And the snow is falling, taking me away.
Cold winter nights, cold winter dreams,
Reflecting the sound of my heart; it's my taste of freedom.
Cold winter nights, cold winter dreams,
Don't try to tear me apart; cold winter dreams
Find myself in peace, warm from underneath.
Wish you would be here in this magic scene.
I've escaped from reality, dancing in the snow.
Cold, blue sky gives me the innocence I need.
Cold winter nights, cold winter dreams,
Freezing the heat in my heart; it's my taste of freedom.
Cold winter nights, cold winter dreams,
Chill me and tear me apart; cold winter dreams.
The world seemed so clear, like a wonderful diamond,
Can't imagine there's meaness. Can't imagine one lie
But when I'm dead and gone and snow's pouring down,
I'm burried and covered, peaceful under millions of stars.
Cold winter nights, cold winter dreams,
Reflecting the sound of my heart; it's my taste of freedom.
Cold winter nights, cold winter dreams,
Don't try to tear me apart; cold winter dreams
