Friday night and I'm alone at home Looking for something to do Thinking about you all night long And how I could be with you... How I could be with you All night long with you No matter what people say I'd just be with you Have some beers and getting high Trying not to think about you On my bed I'd like you by my side And baby I'd be inside of you... Baby I'd be inside of you All night long with you No matter what people say I'd just be with you

You always lived with them saying what you're supposed to do They've shown you a long way for dreams to become true When you get there you find out that is no what they say So you realize that is too late to turn away You should follow that way to Shangri-La That's what they say You've spent your life wondering if there'd be a truth But life is the only road that you should go through Believe me there won't be a level that you'll stay The only truth is that mistakes make us better day by day You should follow that way to Shangri-La That's what they say It’s been a long way to Shangri-La It's not what they say

When night falls and I feel so wild I wanna hear the sound of the electric guitar I've got my rules, I'm not kid in denial It was the best thing I've felt so far [CHORUS] I gonna tell you how it set me free I wanna roll and let it be I've sold my soul, I've sold for rock'n'roll Mama said that I was so wild I told her "I'm not your child" I've sold my soul, I've sold for rock'n'roll I've got my bills and I gotta pay my dues I'm short of money but I'm no like you. I won't give up this sound keep me alive I’ve got no job at twenty-five [CHORUS] I gonna tell you how it set me free I wanna roll and let it be I've sold my soul, I've sold for rock'n'roll Mama said that I was so wild I told her "I'm not your child" I've sold my soul, I've sold for rock'n'roll

It was the first time I've played in that town The gig was so crowded and everybody was around It was a night about rock'n'roll And I was looking for someone to free my soul When I saw her, she was looking so cute Wearing one of my favorite band's tees and a pair of boots I came close and I and said "hello" And she said "Let's go dance some rock'n'roll" So come on Let it roll So come on When the party was over but not that night I realized that she wanted to hug me tight She said "Let's give them a slip" Go to another place around the city She held my hand and we got a cab Riding along the city she was kissing my neck We made out on the taxi's backseat All night long listening to teenage kicks So come on Let it roll So come on

Nightmare 04:44
You don't know how I feel An endless nightmare and seems so real You don't know what were my reasons and I've got no time to prove it When you said it that day "I wanna be with you all my days" You don't even know how all those words gave me pain [CHORUS] An endless nightmare that I can't go through You loved me so and I never knew And now I've lost you I feel so blue I can't believe this nightmare is true Oh no... We used to stay together all those days I remember you and I in all those dates Now I notice that all those moments will not happen again What we had was my ideal When I hung with you I felt so real Now I know we won't be able to be happy again [CHORUS] An endless nightmare that I can't go through You loved me so and I never knew And now I've lost you I feel so blue. I can't believe this nightmare is true Oh no...

Another Sun 02:57
Stuck in a prison That's all he’s got He couldn't see reasons To keep movin' and not give up It was a distraction To get away from those issues He felt the reaction So it was too late to change what he chose He could find no reasons to see another sun Now it's too late and there's nowhere to run Never we'll know What was in his mind There wasn't any sign to show And to find out what he really got Melancholic season There wasn't Jesus to do A mind as a prison To end it all was the way to go through He could find no reasons to see another sun Now it's too late and there's nowhere to run He could find no reasons to see another sun Now it's too late and there's nowhere to run We won't forget you All you have meant Now it's too late and there's nowhere to run

We already did it All the moves all those couples take To get into a normal life and smiling in a portrait We already knew it What we should've done to have a happy end But it was hard for you realize 'cuz you were so afraid Here we go getting hurt again We've been barking up the wrong tree We already tried it All the games all those couples played To get through all those stages from our first dates We tried to solve All the trouble we'd get further But at the end we realized we're not made for each other Sorry but it's not working out for me We've been barking up the wrong tree

Monkey Mind 02:40
I've been hearing a monkey in my mind It has told me things that I don't like Even though I can't see it I've been trying to control it It has been untamed, runaway and wild A monkey mind Even if I try To get through of all this anxiety Cage the monkey mind Even if I try Cage the monkey mind It has been whispering in there all the time Like a rolling stone crushing all my mind Doctor gave me a medicine But it doesn't work on me I've been trying meditation every night A monkey mind Even if I try To get through of all this anxiety Cage the monkey mind Even if I try.... Cage the monkey mind

One who had an Ace of Spades Made the beat banged our heads A powersound to overkill The secret is not about the skill Come on You were right You lived fast for Rock'n'Roll Come on Alright So dont give up on Rock'n'Roll You gotta the whole crew together Punk, rockers and headbangers All united for an only reason Listen to rock to praise the devil Come on You were right You've got the feel of Rock'n'Roll Come on Alright Come and join us to Rock'n'Roll

Babe, you drive me crazy I said Baby, you're so amazing We danced this groove I could feel your move You didn't need to proove it Babe, You've asked me shake it You said baby, so let me naked When we dance this groove I could feel your move You didn't need to proove it Baby you drove me crazy... You were so amazing
