brani:

I roll down and I fall down

And I get to the ground

But I run around I hear a sound

My rock’n’roll is found.

Get up come on shake up

Show me you feel all right.

Squeeze me come on please me

Show me you rock all night

“I will not let you down

So don’t you let down me

Don’t want you to stay down

So fly away with me”.

 

Rollin’, tumblin’, like a crazy dice

I feel you. I kill you

I’m gonna blow your mind

I never mind what’s on your mind

I’ll drag you down in time.

I don’t care what’s all for

I’ll get you up in time.

“I will not let you down

So don’t you let down me

Don’t want you to stay down

So fly away with me”.

 

I wanna see you, I wanna feel you inside

Girl shake your sweet-ass, it seems that you do it just for me

I wanna get you I wanna love you today.

Well people you ought to see her. I got what I need

A dream – to make it real.

“I can’t stand another day, I want you anyway

Oh honey let me in

You shake your hips, like a rattle snake”

You’re making me a fool when you say she’s looking good

“Give me your hand. I wanna make love with you,

I gotta clash with you.”

 

Here in my bed, give me your hand

Till the morning comes

Baby tie your hair back, let free your neck

My need keeps getting’ stronger

Sometimes I get so hot, girl I can’t stop

Just me and you, we cross the sea of night

I run faster, I gotta clash with you, just keep on lovin’me.

  

“You shake your hips, like a rattle snake”

You’re making me a fool when you say she’s looking good

“Give me your hand, I wanna make love with you,

I gotta clash with you.”

I’m lookin’ back. I feel just like you

I am what I sing

Don’t you blame me, don’t you blame me baby

‘Cause I want you so bad

If you are looking for, for another place

I’m the place that you need

If you ask me for, for another race

You should have some speed.

 

Don’t you lie to me. Take it easy baby

I’ll never let you down

Don’t be lookin’ back, we could steal the time

And be groovin’ around

If you’re begging me, to be taken down

Get me while you can

We could really change, gimme just one night

And I’ll change your mind.

 

I’m something diff’rent ain’t like the rest

I needed someone, you needed someone too

Take my hand and keep on lovin’ me.

I know and live in a rocker’s band

On the “down” side of the town

Nobody cares about the future, nobody knows a fear.

This is a feeling and a dress

Burning their dreams day by day

Everyone pays the price, the price for “to live”

Every day is a race, every day is a trace of the devil.

 

We carry on with a bad reputation

We’re damned to live on the run

We just go on our wheels of fire, riding in the sun.

The people just don’t realize

We’re angry just because of them

They gonna pay the price. Nobody knows the “when”.

Every day is a race with the devil.

 

Running on the highway

Long and dark, shiny and black your motorcycle speeds

Flying on the highway

Knocking down the time just like a thunder in the sky.

 

I’m ready, ready for a new day

Now I don’t need no reason for to run away

Really I can’t stand another new face

Now I opened my eyes to look around

Tonight I hope it’s gonna be-allright

I see you walkin’ down the street

Tonight in “Jungleland” the street is on fire

Is on fire (but) I was born loose.

 

I’m living, can’t change me now

Take me like you find me, I’m fool for you

Take me before it’s too late

I was born loose for running wild

Tonight I hope it’s gonna be-allright

You really got the best of me

Take me but with you life moves so fast

I was born loose. Loose running wild

I see you walkin’ down the street

Take me as “Jungleland” is on fire.

  

I see you walkin’ down the street

Tonight I hope it’s gonna be-allright

Be alright. I was born loose.

Loose running wild.

Really found. Since when I was born:

Now you got your ticket. The ticket for runnin’ fast

Take everything. All you’ve got to do is run

Everyone needs a reason

For running down Fire Trails.

 

Now I find I’ve opened up the doors

I’m out on the streets. Out for living more

I never got worried because every day I live strong

Every night with your song

Let there be Rock once more.

Anyway, everyway I choose, anyway I win or loose

Oh babe stay with me

Many bloodies and many wars, how many prisons closed the doors

Oh babe don’t you know?

“I got a feeling inside, that takes all my mind

I know nobody’s gonna change.

I got a feeling inside, that takes all my mind

But everything’s still the same”.

 

Now my head can’t rest no more ‘cause no one has control

But babe don’t you see?

Many people want make money. Many people want get power

Oh babe let me take you down.

“I got the rock inside, that takes all my mind

I know myself. I wanna change

I got the rock inside, that takes all my mind

And everything’s just a game”.

 

Well now I’ve already seen

The roads are full of blood

Old society. Society you get me down

Babe you’ve got many things to remember

Come on before it’s too late

You may never get, get another change.
