Nightmare Avenue - SCORPIONS

Nightmare Avenue - SCORPIONS

Music: Matthias Jabs

Lyrics: Klaus Meine, Mark Hudson



Last night I went to kill

Some time at the famous grill

Where the tall eats the small

There were girls all over me

That's my insanity

Don't call me Ringo, call me Paul



I'm in heaven, I'm in hell

Don't wipe that smile off my face

Can't you tell

I see faces in the weirdest places

Please, won't you take me down

Underneath you spell



Oh, oh I'm back at midnight (alright)

I drop my keys, could you get 'em love

Oh, oh baby I might (he might)

I got the stuff to keep it goin' on all night



Take me down nightmare avenue

Goin' down nightmare avenue

I wanna take you too



Sharp as a sabres tooth

Back in my favorite booth

I'm getting spanked with cold champagne

I'd walk on a razor blade

If you're dressed like a French maid

I get my pleasure out of pain



I'm in heaven, I'm in hell

Don't wipe that smile off my face

Can't you tell

I see faces in the weirdest places

Please, won't you take me down

Underneath you spell



Oh, oh I'm back at midnight (alright)

I drop my keys, could you get 'em love

Oh, oh baby I might (he might)

I got the stuff to keep it goin' on all night



Take me down nightmare avenue

Goin' down nightmare avenue

Drive me down nightmare avenue

Lay me down on nightmare avenue



Take me down nightmare avenue

Goin' down nightmare avenue

Drive me down nightmare avenue

Lay me down on nightmare avenue



And I've gonna take you too

Ship Of Fools - SCORPIONS

Lyrics: Klaus Meine



Another bloody Monday

Thirty-nine Just died

All hell breaks loose in the crowd

A hopeless helter skelter

Another mindless crime

Some corner of the world is burning down



Heading for a nervous breakdown

Can't take it anymore

I see the fear explode just like

A thousant nights before



The ship of fools

Keeps on rollin' through a deadly storm

It won't take long 'till we collide

The ship of fools

Keeps on following the siren's call

Damned to be sacrificed



Corrupt politicians

Promise paradise

The thieves are reaching out for the crown

Violence is a killer

Threatens all our lives

Judgment day has come here and now



Heading for a nervous breakdown

Can't take it anymore

I see the fear explode just like

A thousant nights before



The ship of fools

Keeps on rollin' through a deadly storm

It won't take long 'till we collide

The ship of fools

Keeps on following the siren's call

Damned to be sacrificed



Heading for a nervous breakdown

Can't take it anymore

I see the fear explode just like

A thousant nights before



The ship of fools

Keeps on rollin' through a deadly storm

It won't take long 'till we collide

The ship of fools

Keeps on following the siren's call

Damned to be sacrificed



The ship of fools

Keeps on rollin' through a deadly storm

It won't take long 'till we collide

The ship of fools

Keeps on following the siren's call

Damned to be sacrificed

Lyrics: Klaus Meine



I wake up in the morning I'm thinking of you

In Dollars and Cents in high heel shoes



I start to think and the headache goes boom

I'm counting the bills that are stacked to the moon



The money I'm giving to you

I could live on forever (on the sunny side)

What can I do so my life

Turns around for the better (Got knows that I tried)



Taxman woman I keep running

Can't you see it's only money

Taxman woman I keep running

Can't you see it's so hard honey

To keep up with you



I work twice as hard what else can I do

To make up the part that's been taken by you



If it wasn't for you I would be rich

But instead I'm a poor son of a bitch



The money I'm giving to you

I could live on forever (on the sunny side)

What can I do so my life

Turns around for the better (Got knows that I tried)



Taxman woman I keep running

Can't you see it's only money

Taxman woman I keep running

Can't you see it's so hard honey

Taxman woman I keep running

Can't you see that it ain't funny

Taxman woman I keep running

Can't you see it's so hard honey

To keep up with you

Hate To Be Nice - SCORPIONS

Hate To Be Nice - SCORPIONS

Music: Rudolf Schenker

Lyrics: Klaus Meine



Hey baby, listen up

I'm not in love with you

You keep runnin' off at the mouth

And someone else can scratch my back

And I could care less about your legs

I just wanna see 'em walk all over me



I'm runnin' out of patience

And I ain't gonna say it twice

The world out there is down'n dirty, honey

And I just hate to be nice



So don't think about movin' any closer, baby

Just forget about it

You body may be a weapon on legs

But hey, I'm not fallin' for that

Don't you get it, I'm not impressed at all

I just wanna see you crawl all over me



I'm runnin' out of patience

And I ain't gonna say it twice

The world out there is down'n dirty, honey

And I just hate to be nice



Don't you understand

Don't you understand



Tell me when your eyes say yes

How can your lips say no

A girl like you shouldn't be surprised

It's just I hate to be nice



I'm runnin' out of patience

And I ain't gonna say it twice

The world out there is down'n dirty, honey

And I just hate to be nice

Lyrics: Klaus Meine



Woman you can change my world

Woman you can change my world



I'm chained to the fears

Inside these walls

The silence talks loud

'bout the things I recall

Through the bricks in the window

I scream at the world

But when no one is listening

It's hard to be heard



Woman you can change my world

Woman there'll be no return



I see shadows

Coming through the walls

I hear voices

But no one's talking at all

I can feel the madness

Crawling up my spine

Reachin' out

To grab your mind



Woman come and change my world



(Do you remember all those fears?)

They won't leave me alone

(Do you remember all those tears?)

I pretend to be strong

(Do you remember all the pain?)

I'm getting tired of the game

I cannot live I cannot die

I wanna know who the hell am I



You've never seen me

But I know you so well

And before it kills me

I gotta break the spell

The deeper we touch

The higher we'll go

The time has come

To heal my soul



Woman you can change my world



(Do you remember all those fears?)

They won't leave me alone

(Do you remember all those tears?)

I pretend to be strong

(Do you remember all the pain?)

I'm getting tired of the game

I cannot live I cannot die

I wanna know who the hell am I



Woman I'm gonna change your world
