7800 Degrees Fahrenheit lyrics

In a time, in a place
In a world, they forgot
Lives the heart of me
A part that just won't die
Just a boy, not a man
Sent to war, in a land
They said we'd fight for their freedom
But I felt like a hired hand
Sometimes I have to find my way
Sometimes I have to get away

[Chorus]
Take me back to Tokyo Road
Take me back to Tokyo Road

Working hard, for a pass

The clock strikes ten
Out on the streets again
I been looking for something to please me since I don't know when
Out on the dark side of town
Another rumble's gone down
And life on the high side isn't what this boys about
She's got something I want man, it's something I need
It takes more than the night to satisfy me...

[Chorus:]
I stand accused
I can always run to you

We would take no prisoners
'Cause there was nobody giving in
They came walking through my jungle
And met an angel about to sin
I heard a voice from inside of me
When the youth of America cried:
Can you help me, hear me call
[Chorus:]
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
To the fire
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)

Young and wired
Set to explode in the heat
You won't tire
Cause baby was born with the beat
Take you higher than you've ever known
Then drive you down to your knees
I'll pick you up when you've had enough
You been burned baby lessons learned

[Chorus:]
In and out of love
Hear what I'm sayin'
In and out of love
It's the way that we're playing
In and out of love

Listen people can't you hear the voices that are crying out
There's a hunger burning in the heart of their souls
Maybe now that I got you let me tell you what I'm talking 'bout
Stand up and shout tonight we'll lose control
I been down and mistreated
Now we're standing undefeated

[Chrous:]
I'm the King of the Mountain
I'm the King of the Hill
I'm the King of the Mountain

Riding high, then shot down
I load my guns to fire another round
I look deep into your eyes
And can't run there's nowhere left to hide
Don't stop, no it's much too late
When the night comes I can't wait
Oh I live, love to loose control
It makes me crazy I want to let you know

[Chorus:]
Oh, no, I don't want to fall
Oh, oh, can't you hear me calling

After the smoke clears
When it's down to you and I
When the sun appears
And there's nothing left but goodbyes
We'll just turn and walk away
How could we let it end like this
Just turn and walk away
Should we seal it with a kiss
It's too late
Now you're out and on the run
It's too late
Held up in love without a gun

[Chorus]
Silent night
We hold up our candle light

In the heat of the street of the city
A young boy hides the pain
And he walks so tall, trying to hang on
But he knows he's going down again
I know he's going down...

Darkness fades he's the prince of his city
In a place where they all know your name
You can see in their eyes life so paralyzed.
Your just a pawn in a losin' game
You lose at life it ain't no game

Hear their cries

One heart one other
They met last summer
One move she started
Now they love this way
The pain of pleasure
Lying together
You're at their mercy
As the telephone' ringing on
No one said there'd be nights like this
Risk your life for a stolen kiss

[Chorus:]
We live, we learn, we lie
For the price of love
We kiss then say goodbye
For the price of love

Another long and sleepless night
You need someone to hold you tight
Sometimes love don't know wrong from right
Another long and senseless
Fight was all you knew they're all the same
There's no one left to take the blame
What's behind this masquerade
How do we win these losin'
Games we play, words we say
Cutting wounds we know they run so deep
Leave it all behind you

We would take no prisoners
'Cause there was nobody giving in
They came walking through my jungle
And met an angel about to sin
I heard a voice from inside of me
When the youth of America cried:
Can you help me, hear me call
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
To the fire
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
