"Ive been called over the top. How silly. If you dont go over the top, you cant see whats on the other side."

"I never had a girl Looking any better than you did And all the kids at school They were wishing they were me that night."

"Let me show you how to drive me crazy, Let me show you how to make me feel so good, Let me show you how to take me to the edge of the stars and back again. Youve gotta show me how to drive you crazy, Youve gotta show me all the things you wanna happen to you, Weve gotta tell each other everything, we always wanted someone to do."

"Nothing ever grows in this rotten old hole And everything is stunted and lost And nothing really rocks and nothing really rolls And nothings ever worth the cost. And I know that Im damned if I never get out And maybe Im damned if I do But with every other beat I got left in my heart You know Id rather be damned with you."

"The sea is whipping the sky The sky is whipping the sea You can hide away forever from the storm But youll never hide away from me."

"The sirens are screaming and the fires are howling Way down in the valley tonight. Theres a man in the shadows with a gun in his eye And a blade shining oh so bright. Theres evil in the air And theres thunder in the sky And a killers on the bloodshot streets."

"Then Im dying at the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun All torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike And I think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell And the last thing I see is my heart, Still beating, Breaking out of my body And flying away Like a bat out of Hell."

"I have travelled across the universe through the years to find her. Sometimes going all the way is just a start..."

"Oh baby youre the only thing in this whole world Thats pure and good and right And wherever you are and wherever you go Theres always gonna be some light."

"Like a bat out of Hell Ill be gone when the morning comes. But when the day is done And the sun goes down And the moonlights shining through Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven Ill come crawling on back to you."

"Its all we ever wanted And all well ever need And now its slipping through our fingers Faster than the speed of night."

"I know just how to fake it And I know just how to scheme I know just when to face the truth And then I know just when to dream. And I know just where to touch you And I know just what to prove I know when to pull you closer And I know when to let you loose. And I know the night is fading And I know the times gonna fly And Im never gonna tell you everything I gotta tell you But I know Ive got to give it a try. And I know the roads to riches And I know the ways to fame I know all the rules and then I know how to breakem And then I always know the name of the game But I dont know how to leave you And Ill never let you fall And I dont know how you do it Making love out of nothing at all."
