The Big Welcome
01:22
instrumental
Inside the Electric Circus
03:34
Also available on:
A scream unlock the cage
The roars rock the stage
Hunger of the animals are calling
Thrive upon the rage
Raw 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 your welcome, to live
Inside the electric circus
Hang on, hang on to 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

Welcome, I bid your welcome, to live
Inside the electric circus
Hang on, hang on to your life
The animals are all insane - God help us
I Don't Need No Doctor
03:26
Also available on:
I don't need no doctor
'Cause I know what's ailing me
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

I don't need no doctor
My prescription tells me that
I don't need no doctor
My prescription tells me that
I don't need no doctor
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

Well, the doctor said I need the rest - ooh, ooh
He put me on the critical list - ooh, ooh
Keeping me safe from harm - ooh, ooh
All I need is her sweet charm - ooh, ooh
He gave me a medical option, that wouldn't do
Ooh, yeah, my motion, oh, yeah, no doctor, no

I don't need no doctor
I don't need no doctor
9.5.-N.A.S.T.Y.
04:48
Also available on:
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 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

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, babe, I mean business
I'm gonna show you what liberation means
Do it to me baby
I'm losing my mind
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

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 got to shake, shake, shake

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

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
Restless Gypsy
05:00
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 lovers, 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

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

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

Come on, 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
Shoot from the Hip
04:39
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
Fire, water, moonshine, going to my head
He and my pistols loaded
Go out and knock'em 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
I don't never miss

Hot sweaty steel, a woman's finger's on my gun
Pull it hard, touch the trigger
Squeeze it when I'm gone
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

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
I don't never miss

Hot and sticky, here it comes
Emotion you can't tame
Kind a tricky watch it run
Smoking like a flame, flame, flame

Hot and sticky, here it comes
I got the bullet, load it up
Slide it into place
My emotions
Coming down all across your face

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
I don't never miss
I'm Alive
04:22
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 your tree
Or hang my head up high
No kingdom reigns over me
Despise all the liars I see
Don't give me your
"Save my soul" cure

I - I'm still alive, and I am soul survivor
You can't understand, why
I - I'm still alive, and I am soul survivor
Damn your holy man - alive

Can't understand, the lord of the land
Your 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

I - I'm still alive, and I am soul survivor
You can't understand, why
I - I'm still alive, and I am soul survivor
Damn your holy man - alive

Force suppression, that's what you do
Feel me, what's in it for you
Listen, I'm on to your game
All your lies are the same

I - I'm still alive, and I am soul survivor
You can't understand, why
I - I'm still alive, and I am soul survivor
Damn your holy man - alive
Easy Living
03:12
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, and I've been forgiven
Since you're taking your place in my heart

Somewhere along the lonely road
I had tried to find you
Day after day on the winding road
I have walked behind you

Easy living, and I've been forgiven
Since you're taking your place in my heart

Waiting, watching, wishing my whole life away
Feeling, fainting, ready for my happy day

Somewhere along the lonely road
I had tried to find you
Day after day on the winding road
I have walked behind you

Easy living, and I've been forgiven
Since you're taking your place in my heart
Sweet Cheetah
05:16
One night as I rolled down some long winding road
I saw you and I knew I couldn't let you go
Half child and all woman, vision fantasy
Lost against the moonlight bathed in ecstasy
Leopard's skin and cat's eyes
Has the jungle made you wild
The prey you're after, is you 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, cheetah
I love it when your claws run through me
Fever, fever, I love it, babe
Come do it to me
Cheetah, cheetah
I love it when your claws run through me
Fever, fever, I love it, babe
Come do it to me now

Skin tight you move in so slowly to thrill
Waiting for the nightmare then you're in for the kill
Amazon so sleekly you know what to 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

Sweet cheetah, cheetah
I love it when your claws run through me
Fever, fever, I love it, babe
Come do it to me
Cheetah, cheetah
I love it when your claws run through me
Fever, fever, I love it, babe
Come do it to me now
Mantronic
04:10
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
Feels like hell and cut to the bone

Mantronic, I'm on the loose
Bionic, my neck in the noose
Mantronic, I'm still the king
Bionic, half man and machine

Be careful now
Because what you wish for
May just come true
If you look
Behind that door

Mantronic, I'm on the loose
Bionic, my neck in the noose
Mantronic, I'm still the king
Bionic, half man and machine
King of Sodom and Gomorrah
03:50
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 'em alive
Like a savage, the strong will survive

Wicked souls, a hunger for lust
You lay it down, we're goin' for bust
We live a life, that's hell of wheels
You don't know how it feels
Ride the wind, and soon you'll all be in

King of Sodom, I want the flesh
Gotta have it, I love it to death
King of Sodom, I eat 'em alive
Like a savage, the strong will survive

Sodom and Gomorrah - ooh, sweet Gomorrah
We're the present tribe - the present tribe
Children of the fire - of the fire
Burning up alive, alive, alive, alive

King of Sodom, I want the flesh
Gotta have it, I love it to death
King of Sodom, I eat 'em alive
Like a savage, the strong will survive
The Rock Rolls On
03:52
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 - ooh, forever on
Like thunder - coming down, ooh, yeah
The rock rolls forever on - ooh, forever on
Like thunder - coming down, ooh, yeah

It blows 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 feel it

The rock rolls forever on - ooh, forever on
Like thunder - coming down, ooh, yeah
The rock rolls forever on - ooh, forever on
Like thunder - coming down, ooh, yeah

Six string and lightning strikes
Come make me blind
Ooh burn it up
Bring down the pedal to the metal

The rock rolls forever on - ooh, forever on
Like thunder - coming down, ooh, yeah
The rock rolls forever on - ooh, forever on
Like thunder - coming down, ooh, yeah

Forever never stop
