Live Bites (1988-95) lyrics

In the heat of the violence
The night's exploding everywhere
When hate pulls the trigger
The devil comes to take his share
In the garden of Eden
The time is running out so fast
Into heart of the demon
With no escape our die is cast

In the city of angels
Death is just a moment away
In the city of angels
Your future won't see the light of the day

Beware of the alien nation

(instrumental)

I get up in the morning
For my dose of the news
Crawl right back in the sack girl
Had enough of the truth
Spend your dollars and rubels
Buy a piece of the wall
Build it up in your backyard
I'm so sick of it all

Ooh, it's a crazy world
Ooh, it's a crazy world

Drivin' down to the city
Doin' 155
Better late than never
I'm more dead than alive
We can find the Titanic
Put a man on the moon

Only the Lord knows the answer
To the mess this world is in
At the end of the rainbow
We're scared to death once again

Life's getting shorter every hour
It keeps on feeding in my face
Why can't we stop the evil power
That will kill the human race

Right, baby don't cry
Keep on dancing tonight
On the edge of time

Right, baby don't cry
Keep on dancing tonight
On the edge of time

Heroes don't cry
Heroes don't cry

Standing here in front of you
A wave of joy and sadness fills the room
Your soul has crashed into a wall
Your world just broke to pieces after all

The days of your life
Leave the world standing outside
But you find the strength for a smile
Because heroes like you wouldn't cry

Heroes don't cry
Heroes don't cry

The judge decided it's your right

I wake up in the morning
and the sun begins to shine
the day did sneak up on the night
I see your face and I see myself
and I get a little taste of life
I try to stand it for a while

But I'm in a trance
Hey baby tell me can't you hear me calling
I'm in a trance
I take too much in the Saturday night
Hey... Hey
Hey baby tell me can't you hear me calling
I'm in a trance

Open my mind let me find new vibrations
Tell me the way I must take to reach my destination
And a place where I can stay
Where is the love of my life couldn't find her
Show me the way to find myself
'Cause I'm nowhere in the darkness of these days

Is there anybody there who feels that vibration
Who shows me the way to my love
Is there anybody there with that inclination

I'm still living for tomorrow
I'm living for today

Let's make this world
A better place to live
Stop to take
Start to give

Love's got the power
To get it done
To stop the pain
Of a killing gun

And even if you say
We're gonna die today
I'm still living for tomorrow
I'm living for today
Cause love will find a way my friend
Whatever it will take

I'm still living for tomorrow
I'm living for today

1.
Face in the gutter, eyes on the floor.
Knocked down twice, can't take it no more.
You got no vision in your head.
You got no vision, better dead.
Get on your feet, open the door.
Walk on down, you know the score.
It's a dead-end street back to the wall
You get it together you can get it all!

The weak will fall the strong remain

No pain no gain (yeah)
No pain no gain (yeah)

2.

I've been around the world
I've known a lot of girls
Livin' and lovin'
It's hard to keep them all in line
I've seen a lot of sights
Many crazy nights
Cruisin' and boozin'
It's a wonder that I'm still alive

Never wasted any time
Never missed a beat
Total satisfaction
Always guaranteed

Tease me
Please me
No one needs to know
Tease me
Please me
Before I have to go

Spead the world around

Just when you make your way back home
I find some time to be alone
I go to see the place once more
Just like a thousand nights before
I climb the stage again this night
Cause the place seems still alive
When the smoke is going down

This is the place where I belong
I really love to turn you on
I've got your sound still in my ears
While your traces disappear
I climb the stage again this night

A place without a name
Under a burning sky
There's no milk and honey here
In the land of God

Someone holds a sign
It says we are human, too
And while the sun goes down
The world goes by

White dove
Fly with the wind
Take our hope under your wings
For the world to know
That hope will not die
Where the children cry

Waves, big like a house
They're stranded on a piece of wood
To leave it all behind

I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
An August summer night
Soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind of change

The world is closing in
And did you ever think
That we could be so close, like brothers
The future's in the air
I can feel it everywhere
I'm blowing with the wind of change

[Chorus:]
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
