Delivering the goods

(Tipton/Downing/Halford)

Feeling like we're
Ready to kick tonight
No hesitating, my body's aching
Looking for some action, satisfaction, all right!

Charging, vein faced
As active as one hundred solid proof
Megatown, Leviathan
We're ready to hit the roof

You better watch out and hold on tight
We're heading your way like dynamite

Ooh, delivering the goods
Ooh, delivering the goods

Shake down, rock'em, boys!
Crack that whip strap mean
Pulse rave, air waves
Battle lies in every place we've been

Stealing your hearts
All across the land
Hot blood doing good
We're gonna load you with our brand

You better watch out and hold on tight
We're heading your way like dynamite

Oh, delivering the goods
Yeah, delivering the goods

Have your way
Stealing your hearts

Well, we don't pull no punches, we aim where the crunch is
The bound to do most damage to your brain
If you're looking for it mellow you're nothing more than yellow
Gonna do it again and again

We'll beat you to submission
So you might as well surrender
You do gotta learn your lesson
'Cause there ain't nobody here to defend your heart

Faster, higher
'Till it seems that we're gonna break
Shooting further
Giving more than you're ever gonna take

Weaving with your heads
Crushed out on the floor
Begging for mercy
Be careful or we'll do it some more

You better watch out and hold on tight
We're heading your way like dynamite

Ooh, delivering the goods
Ooh, delivering the goods



Rock forever

(Tipton/Downing/Halford)

When the day is over
I like to ease my mind
By juicing up my system
With the beat of a heavy kind

I smack a bottle open
I crank the hi fi high
I'm in a seventh heaven
Ooh, I can touch the sky

I'm in love, so in love
And I can't stop talking 'bout my rock forever

It's got the moving to me
Just that I can't explain
It's like a brilliant sunshine
After standing in the pouring rain

My skin begins to tingle
Ooh, right on down my back
It's really got me fevered
Pounding my senses flat

I'm in love, so in love
And I can't stop talking 'bout my rock forever

Rock forever - I love my
Rock forever - my fever
Rock forever - always gonna
Rock forever

I can't stop talking about rock
Now get it right, boys!

So when you get those blue days
Here's just what to do
Switch into this lifeline
And feel it rushing through

Before you know it, blue days
Are better left behind
By juicing up your system
With this beat of a heavy kind

I'm in love, so in love
And I can't stop talking 'bout my rock forever

Rock forever
I'm gonna rock forever



Evening star

(Tipton/Halford)

I traveled to a distant shore
I felt I had to go
An inner voice had called me there
But why I did not know

I saw the evening star rise up
Shining out to sea
And now I understand at last what it means
What it all means

Evening star
I can see the light
Evening star
Guiding me so bright

I used to tempt fate, I couldn't see straight
I faltered through my younger days
Never knowing where I was going
Then something helped me penetrate the haze

Evening star
I can see the light
Evening star
Guiding me so bright

Now I am stronger, the haze no longer
Ruins my future destiny
Such inspirations and new sensations
Pull up these string ties chasing me

Evening star
I can see the light
Evening star
Guiding me so bright

I'm home once more, much better for
The things that I have found
Much wiser now, so simple how
Each time I turn around

I see the evening star rise up
Shining out on me
And now I understand at last what it means
What it all means

Evening star
I can see the light
Evening star
Guiding me so bright

Evening star
I can see the light
Evening star
Guiding me so bright



Hell bent for leather

(Tipton)

Seek him here, seek him on the highway
Never knowing when he'll appear
All await, engine's ticking over
Hear the roar as they sense the fear

Wheels
A glint of steel and a flash of light
Screams
From a streak of fire as he strikes

Hell bent
Hell bent for leather
Hell bent
Hell bent for leather

Black as night, faster than a shadow
Crimson flare from a raging sun
An exhibition of sheer precision
Yet no one knows from where he comes

Fools
Self destructs cannot take that crown
Dreams
Crash one by one to the ground

Hell bent
Hell bent for leather
Hell bent
Hell bent for leather

There's many who tried
Tto prove that they're faster
But they didn't last
And they died as they tried

There's many who tried
To prove that they're faster
But they didn't last
And they died as they tried

Hell bent
Hell bent for leather
Hell bent
Hell bent for leather

Hell bent
Hell bent for leather
Hell bent
Hell bent for leather



Take on the world

(Tipton/Halford)

You got to leave your seat
You gotta get up upon your feet
You're gonna move ya to the rhythm
'Till you never can stop

We've got the power, we've got the music
And you bet that you can use it
We're gonna take rock bottom
We're gonna take it to the top

Put yourself in our hands so our voices can be heard
And together we will take on all the world
Put yourself in our hands so our voices can be heard
And together we will take on all the world

Move a little nearer
You know you gotta follow your leaders
As we need you
Like you need us for sure

We're gonna drive you, we're gonna ride you
We're gonna get right inside you
And if you wanna keep going
Just shout out for more

Put yourself in our hands so our voices can be heard
And together we will take on all the world
Put yourself in our handss so our voices can be heard
And together we will take on all the world

Sing your song
We'll listen to you
Sing your song
The spotlights are you

Put yourself in our hands so our voices can be heard
And together we will take on all the world
Put yourself in our hands so our voices can be heard
And together we will take on all the world

Put yourself in our hands so our voices can be heard
And together we will take on all the world
Put yourself in our hands so our voices can be heard
And together we will take on all the world



The green manalishi (with the two pronged crown)

(Green)

Now when the day goes to sleep
And the full moon looks
And the night is so black
That the darkness cooks

And you come creeping around
Making me do things I don't wanna do

Can't believe that she needs
My love so bad
Come sneaking around
Trying to drive me mad

Busting in all my dreams
Making me see things I don't wanna see

'Cause you're the green manalishi
With the two pronged crown
All night dragging us up
Or you're bringing us down

Just taking my love and slip away
Leaving me here, trying to keep from following you



Burnin' up

(Downing/Tipton)

You stitch me up good and you cut me down
So I string you up to keep you hanging around
You dish the hot stuff up but you keep me waiting
So I'll play it dirty 'till your body is breaking

We've got to make love
The time is right
We've got to make love tonight
'Cause we're burnin' up

You make me greedy, you won't feed me my food
But I'll make out easy 'cause I see straight through you
You cool me off and hot me up and that's not right
'Cause you'll get hungry in the heat of the night

And then we'll make love
Just when it's right
And when we make love tonight
We'll be burnin' up

I know you feel the same, I know you feel the flame
Staring deep inside of you
Burning you up, breaking you down
Breaking you out in a cold sweat

And as you lose control of your very soul
Your desire takes over
You'll feel the heat sway, you're round to my way
And suddenly you'll know that you're burnin' up

You stitch me up good and you cut me down
So I string you up to keep you hanging around
You dish the hot stuff up but you keep me waiting
So I'll play it dirty 'till your body is breaking

We've got to make love
The time is right
We've got to make love tonight
'Cause we're burnin' up

We're burnin' up



Killing machine

(Tipton)

I never give no answers
I never tell no lies
I never walk a straight line
So I never get surprised

I don't ask no favors
So I won't get abused
I learned to win when I was young
So I'm never ever gonna lose

They pay me the money
And I'll do the job
I got a contract on you
I got a contract on you

I never ask no questions
I never speak my mind
I always found that silence helps
To keep me and my kind alive

I take care of business
It takes care of me
I look after myself and do it well
'Cause somebody's always looking for me

They pay me the money
And I'll do the job
I got a contract on you
I got a contract on you

What manner of man am I?
A gun, lump sum and then I move on
What manner of man are you?
Stab a friend's back to jump a queue

I do what I do 'cause I can't do nothing better
You do what you do, just defending yourself
'Cause you ain't got nothing better to do

I got no place, no name
I'm just a killing machine
I kept the population down
If you know what I mean

I never stop in one place
I move above the cities
Got expensive tastes but I hasten to add
That I'm the best that there is

For they pay me the money
And I'll do the job
I got a contract on you
I got a contract on you

I got a contract on you
I got a contract on you



Running wild

(Tipton)

I move as fast as I can
I like to get around
I'm crazy like a madman
My feet don't touch the ground

I move amongst the night life
And they just step aside
'Cause when they see me coming
They know I'm running wild

Dead or alive, there's nothing
That bothers me at all
I take on all comers
They back off or they fall

They raise their hands to stop me
I laugh and I defy
'Cause what's the point in living?
Unless you're living wild

No chains can hold me down
I always break away
I never hear society
Tell me what to do or say

I taste the life that pleases me
I raise a storm for all the world to see

I never stumble, never fall
Never stop for rest
I'm a rebel but I walk tall
And I demand respect

I move amongst the night life
And they just step aside
'Cause when they see me coming
They know I'm running wild

I'm running wild
I'm running wild - get outta my way!
I'm running wild
I'm running wild - you better believe it



Before the dawn

(Tipton/Downing/Halford)

Before the dawn, I hear you whisper
In your sleep: Don't let the morning take him
Outside the birds begin to call
As if to summon up my leaving

It's been a lifetime since I found someone
Since I found someone who would stay
I've waited too long and now you're leaving
Oh, please, don't take it all away

It's been a lifetime since I found someone
Since I found someone who would stay
I've waited too long and now you're leaving
Oh, please, don't take it all away

Before the dawn, I hear you whisper
In your sleep: Don't let the morning take him



Evil fantasies

(Tipton/Halford/Downing)

We turn and face each other
My fingers pull your hair
You wince and jerk my wrist off
I bite my lip and stare

Your stance at once defiant
I'm rigid to your pose
You clench your teeth in anger
My loving swells and grows

You give me evil fantasies
I wanna get inside your mind
Come on and live my fantasies
I'll show you evil you can't hide

You're dragged into my vision
Trapped serving to my needs
Maybe imagination
Is where my dark side feeds

You slide your nails down in me
I raise my structure high
You pout, I snarl, you whimper
And wave compassion bye

You give me evil fantasies
I wanna get inside your mind
Come on and live my fantasies
I'll show you evil you can't hide

Gonna take you 'fore get through
Gonna make you do what I want

You give me evil fantasies
I wanna get inside your mind
Come on and live my fantasies
I'll show you evil you can't hide

You're dragged into my vision
Trapped serving to my needs
Maybe imagination
Is where my dark side feeds
