survivor - burning heart

Two worlds collide, rival nations
It's a primitive clash, venting years of frustrations
Bravely we hope against all hope, there is so much at stake
Seems our freedom's up against the ropes
Does the crowd understand?
Is it a East vs. West, or man against man
Can any nation stand alone?

In the burning heart, just about to burst
There's a quest for answers, an unquenchable thirst
In the darkest night, rising like a spire
In the burning heart, the unmistakable fire, in the burningheart

In the warrior's code, there's no surrender
Though his body says stop, his spirit cries never
Deep in our soul a quiet ember
Knows it's you against you
It?s the paradox that drives us on
It's a battle of wills, in the heat of attack
It's the passion that kills
The victory is yours alone

In the burning heart, just about to burst
There's a quest for answers, an unquenchable thirst
In the darkest night, rising like a spire
In the burning heart, the unmistakable fire

In the burning heart, just about to burst
There's a quest for answers, an unquenchable thirst
In the darkest night, rising like a spire
In the burning heart, the unmistakable fire

In the burning heart, just about to burst
There's a quest for answers, an unquenchable thirst
In the darkest night, rising like a spire
In the burning heart, the unmistakable fire
In the burning heart

survivor - eye of the tiger

Rising up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive

So many times it happens too fast
You trade your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rivals
And as the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all with the eye of the tiger

Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds, still we take to the street
For the kill with the skill to survive

It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rivals
And as the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all with the eye of the tiger

Risin' up, straight to the top
Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive

It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rivals
And as the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all with the eye of the tiger

The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger

survivor - no easy way out

We?re not indestructible
Baby better get that straight
I think it?s unbelievable
How you give into the hands of fate

Some things are worth fighting for
Some feelings never die
I?m not asking for another chance
I just wanna know why

CHORUS
There?s no easy way out
There?s no shortcut home
There?s no easy way out
Giving in can?t be wrong

I don?t wanna pacify you
I don?t wanna drag you down
But I?m feeling like a prisioner
Like a strange in a no-name town

I see all the angry faces
Afraid that could be you and me
Talking about what might have been
Thinking about what it used to be

CHORUS

Baby baby we can shed this skin
We can know how we feel inside
Instead of going down and endless road
Not knowing ig we?re dead or alive

Some things are worth fighting for
Some feelings never die
I?m not asking for another chance
I just wanna know why

There?s no easy way out
There?s no shortcut home
There?s no easy way out
Giving, giving can?t be can wrong oh no

There?s no easy way out (there?s no easy way out)
There?s no shortcut home (there?s no shortcut home)
There?s no easy way out
There?s no easy, no easy, no easy way out

There?s no easy way out (there?s no easy way out)
There?s no shortcut home (there?s no shortcut home)
There?s no easy way out
There?s no easy, no easy, no easy way out

CHORUS

survivor - how much love

How can I tell you
To put it all in words
There is so much left to say
But the meaning slips away
How can I show you
To see it through my eyes
Don't deny that part of you
That's been dying for it too
How do I know if I give you too much
Will I snare you away
How do I know when to leave you alone
When to beg you to stay
I wanna know

*Just how much love does it take
To get to you
I stand here ready to break
Tell me, tell me
How much love does it take*

Moment to moment
I don't know where it stands
Will I end up like the rest
Well it's anybody's guess
Can I persuade you
So softly in a touch
It is all a waste of time
Well I'm only wasting mine
How do I know if I give you too much
Will I scare you away
How do I know when to leave you alone
When to beg you to stay
I wanna know

( * Repeat)

How do I know when to leave you alone
When to beg you to stay
I wanna know

( * Repeat-)

survivor - i can t hold back

There's a story in my eyes
Turn the pages of desire
Now it's time to trade those dreams
For the rush of passion's fire
I can feel you tremble when we touch
And I feel the hand of fate
Reaching out to both of us
I've been holding back the night
I've been searching for a clue from you
I'm gonna try with all my might
To make this story line come true
Can ya feel me tremble when we touch
Can ya feel the hand of fate
Reaching out to both of us
This love affair can't wait

*I can't hold back, I'm on the edge
(I can't hold back)
You voice explodes inside my head
I can't hold back, I won't back down
Girl it's too late to turn back now*

Another shooting star goes by
And in the night the silence speaks to you and I
And now the time has come at last
Don't let the moment run too fast
I can feel you tremble when we touch
And I feel the hand of fate reaching out to both of us
There's a story in my eyes, turn the pages of desire
Now it's time to trade those dreams
For the rush of passion's fire

( * Repeat)

survivor - nevertheless

Don't let 'em tell you that it's up to you
There's a wall of silence you can never break through
You gotta jump down, turn around and face the facts
Don't you ever give in 'cause you'll never get back

There's a power in this pounding heart that defies the doubting crowd
'Cause when they're dead and gone, we'll still be standing

Woh oh Nevertheless, Nevertheless, Woh Oh
The wave of tomorrow is anyone's guess
We're fighting the battle like all of the rest
Never surrender - Nevertheless
Never surrender - Nevertheless

Baby all of their rules ain't our concern
Sometimes you gotta forget a little more then you learn
It's an upphill battle when the odds are long
You know they're counting you out but you're calling them wrong

Come walk with me down this distant path
Were are hopes and dreams collide
It's an open road from where I'm standing

Woh oh Nevertheless, Nevertheless, Woh Oh
The wave of tomorrow is anyone's guess
We're fighting the battle like all of the rest
Never surrender - Nevertheless
Woh oh Nevertheless, Nevertheless, Woh Oh
The wave of tomorrow is anyone's guess
We're fighting the battle like all of the rest
Never surrender - Nevertheless
Never surrender - Nevertheless

You can feel it in the streets of America
From the white house to tobacco road
Can't you see that there's two Americas
Where the hell are we supposed to go

There's a power in this pounding heart that defies the doubting crowd
'Cause when they're dead and gone, we'll still be standing

Woh oh Nevertheless, Nevertheless, Woh Oh
The wave of tomorrow is anyone's guess
We're fighting the battle like all of the rest
Never surrender - Nevertheless
Woh oh Nevertheless, Nevertheless, Woh Oh
The wave of tomorrow is anyone's guess
We're fighting the battle like all of the rest
Never surrender - Nevertheless
Never surrender - Nevertheless

survivor - rockin into the night

Ooh, rockin'
Oh yeah

Cruisin' down the motorway
Got my girl by my side
We're both a little anxious
Oh oh oh, we got love on our mind

Waitin', anticipatin'
For the fireworks in the night
Well I swear we were doin' eighty
When we saw those motel lights

And we were rockin' into the night
Rockin' into the night
Oh oh oh, rockin'
Rockin' into the night
Rockin' into the night, yeah

Back on the back streets
Taking love where I can
I found a sweet Madonna
Oh oh oh, with a bible in her hand

Waitin', anticipatin'
Well for someone to save her soul;
Well I ain't no new messiah
But I'm close enough for rock and roll

And we were rockin' into the night
Rockin' into the night
Oh hoo, rockin'
Rockin' into the night
Rockin' into the night
And I'm slowin' down and she's pullin' in

Waitin', anticipatin'
For the fireworks in the night
Well I swear we were doin' eighty
When we saw those motel lights

And we were
Rockin', rockin' into the night
Rockin', rockin' into the night
Rockin', rockin' into the night

survivor - desperate dreams

Two dreamers, what would it feel like to meet by light of day
So lonely, wouldn't if feel right to love this night away
Your name keeps echoing down this wishing well
Wild hearts on an endless flight, set free in our dreams tonight

*Two souls drawn to the fire in desperate dreams
Two hearts lost to desire's desperate schemes
One girl lost in a reverie
Lost love found in a memory
Those nights live on forever
Two fools lost in a desperate dream*

Torn pages, more than a memory, pieces of the past
One vision, your image keeps haunting me, a love too good to last
Your voice keeps echoing down this wishing well
Wild hearts on an endless flight, set free our dreams tonight

(* Repeat)

One love divided burns brightly through the night
Two dreams united until the morning light

(* Repeat)

survivor - man against the world

Have you ever walked alone at night
Like a man against the world
No one takes your side
A boat against the tide
When your faith is shaken you start to break
And you heart can't find the words
Tossed upon the sand
I give you a man against the world
All the people cheer 'til the end is near
And the hero takes a fall
Then they'll drag you through the mud
You're only flesh and blood
I have walked the path from dark to light
And they've yet to come to terms
Alone I take my stand
I'm only a man against the world

And love, like a distant reminder
It tugs at my shoulder
It calls me home
I shout, can a single voice carry
Will I find sanctuary within your arms
Someday when the answer's clearer
Someday when I even the score
You'll reach and you'll find me near you
Right beside you
Forevermore

But for now I'll walk the night alone
Like a man against the world
A brand new day will shine
Through the avalanche of time
Now the road's grown long, but the spirit's strong
And the fire within still burns
Alone I take my stand
I give you a man against the world

survivor - jackie don t go

Jackie was the focus of my fantasies
There was passion in the schoolyard
Upon the autumn leaves
Cuttin' class was gettin' easy,
Throwin' good sense down the drain,
And while your touch would always please me,
It was love that eased the pain --
Believin' that good times forever last,
Now love is a thing of the past

*Jackie no, Jackie don't go,
You're a hard act to follow --
Jackie go slow, Jackie please,
I'm down on my knees, let's do it again*

I was head over heels, I was hard in love,
I put Jackie on a pedestal so high above,
Rock 'n' Roll became our savior --
That alone was all it took --
And when it came to fool behavior,
Me and Jackie, we wrote the book
Believin' that good friends forever last,
Now love is a thing of the past

( * Repeat)

( * Repeat)
Jackie stay -- I'm living each day
In the streets of the city callin' your name
Jackie please, this is insane,
Let's do it again

In the beginning all the time we spent together,
Never further than a heartbeat away,
Did you try and tell me, Jackie, you were leavin',
I couldn't see beyond yesterday

survivor - hungry years

Would you still love me, if just perhaps
The roof above our heads should suddenly collapse
Would you still take me, for what I am
If I had nothin?

This heart?s an engine, it?s running lean
I?m down to skin and bone and still I?m fightin? clean
Do you share this vision, this reckless dream
Like the day we met.

If we work together we can pull this train
Can?t wait forever for the winds of change
Will you stand beside me like you did before
When the storm is at the window
And the wolf is at the door

*These are the hungry years
Stand up and face your fears
Your faith can fight these tears
These are the hungry years*

Sometimes I watch you as you sleep
So safely unaware we might be in to deep
I hide my feelings behind these shades
Like you don?t see

And if we pull together we can make this climb
With a love as tough as these desperate times
Will you stand beside me like you did before
Now the storme is at the window
And the wolf is at the door

( * Repeat)

Do you remember the feelings we had
Baby, the first time we touched
Is there a way to find it again
Girl is that asking too much - too much

survivor - american heartbeat

The night's alive with wind and fire
We telegraph our heart's desire
Through the night with our eyes
Wheels are turnin' fast and hard
Hearts are burnin' on the boulevard
Hear them pound young and proud
It's the American heartbeat
Chart the stars, head out for the action
Hit the streets and find some satisfaction

It's the American Heartbeat
The American heartbeat
It's the American heartbeat
Oh the American heartbeat

The stage is set the roles are chosen
The lights grow hot
As the midnight's closin' in
At last it comes so fast
Poundin' harder as the midnight's strikin
It hits us like a bolt of lightning
Deeper down it's the sound of the American heartbeat
Chart the stars, head out for the action
Hit the streets and find some satisfaction

survivor - you know who you are

Somewhere in America one night
Out on the road I Saw her face
Trying hard to blend in with the others
She looked so out of place
Wo oh - her eyes, they caught me by surprise
They haunt my memory
Wo oh - she turned me around
Read my thoughts aloud
She moved me with a look
Then vanished in the crowd

*You know who you are
In the night you?ll feel a shiver
As I touch you from afar
Shining like a star
From the world we?ll keep a secret
You know who you are*

The towns all run together
As the days pour into nights and fade away
Staring at the schedule
To go back to the city and the day
Wo oh - come to me, listen to my voice
Follow what you fell
Wo oh - run to me, I?m searching for a clue
A number or a name
I'm reaching out to you

( * Repeat)

Sometimes when my heart can't find a reason
And it's just another season passing by
Wo oh - sometimes, I can close my eyes and touch you
In a moment I can feel again the way it felt that night

survivor - 20 20

You dress so formal like you don't even know
Whatcha got underneath it
Your straight-laced morals are just for show
Cause I know thatcha need it
I got you in my sites
Ya know I'm gonna give ya my best shot tonight
* Cause I can see 20/20
You just can't disguise
Oooh, the fire in your eyes 20/20
There's no way to hide
From my sweet love tonight*

So educated that you think you're above
My street wise emotion
So old fashioned when it comes to love
You talk of devotion
I don't wanna change your life
What I really want is your love for the night

(* Repeat)

Oooh, you know I can see you
I'm seem' right through you
oh you know that I want you
I want you tonight

(* Repeat and fade)

survivor - is this love

I've heard talk of blind devotion
Lovers through thick and thin
Lives touched with real emotion
Faithful till the bitter end
Now I must admit that the story's attractive
I've lost in far too many affairs
I've seen all the pain that the morning can bring
I need to prove to myself
This is more than a crush
Can you convince me it's not just a physical rush.

Chorus:
Is this love that I'm feelin'
Is this love that's been keepin' me up all night
Is this love that I'm feelin'
Is this love.

So many nights in blind confusion
I've walked the line of love
We reach out in disillusion
When one night isn't nearly enough
Now I'd like to know that for once in my life
I'm sure of what tomorrow may bring
I've heard all your talk
Can I take it to heart
Now look me straight in the eye
'Cause tonight is the night
We've got to ask each other if the moment is right.

Chorus

I've tread those mean streets
Blind alleys where the currency of love changes hands
All touch
No feeling just another one night stand
I need to know that there's someone who cares
Could you be the angel to answer my prayers.

Chorus
