One step, two steps, go, I'm ready to roll now one step, two steps, go, I'm ready to roll now Well I look at you once, I look at you twice come on baby, let's roll the dice 'cause I'm one step, two steps, go ready to roll now One step, two steps, go, I'm on my way now Yes I'm one step, two steps, go, I just can't wait now Well you look to the left, you look to the right I'm right in the middle baby, don't be shy 'cause I'm one step, two steps, go ready to roll now Look at the smileless people in the world today they're sad and lonely, waiting only for love to come their way Look at the smileless people, they're so sad and blue but I'm an old school fighter, a firestarter and I'm aiming right at you One step, two steps, go, you're in my house now one step, two steps, go, you're in my arms now Well you kiss me once, you kiss me twice the only way is up, let the fire get high 'cause I'm one step, two steps, go and ready to roll now

Fallin' 03:54
I walk upon a long faded line but I keep on goin' you pass like a ghost through my mind and the pain is still growin' I reach out to touch you you're so distant, so cruel but nobody in this world can make me feel like you do Seems like I ran out of time and I feel like I'm fallin' Fallin', I am fallin' And I'm callin', I'm calllin' out your name, I'm callin' And I keep rollin' back to you I said many times that I don't need you but inside I was crying promised I'll never see you again you know I was lying Now I can feel it comin' you don't love me no more but all I want is see you baby walk through my door Seems that I ran out of luck and I feel like I'm fallin'

U.F.O. 03:46
I, I like to wander in the desert at night under the moonlight where the stars are bright I, as I was gazing up at the sky I saw a flock of shimmering lights coming from way up high And I, I swear, it landed in front of my eyes a giant sized spaceship carrying an extraterrestrial life Shaking la tierra so come mi companiera start running like a quera better hurry corazon Shaking la tierra so come mi companiera start running like a quera una grande U.F.O. I, I like to smoke with my friends late at night under that old cactus tree watching the clouds go by And I, I saw it with my own true eyes an outer space creature staring at me, with his laser beam eyes

Dracula Moon 05:03
I, I'm getting ready feel my breath so heavy the air smells so cold You, your innocence kills me your snow white flesh thrills me my hunger gets strong Tonight I'm getting close with every step I take in a little while, I'll be there behind you Tonight there's nothing can drag me off my way you know, I'm gonna get you soon under this dracula moon I, I'm gonna use magic this night it feels tragic and I need you so You, your heartbeat excites me your hot blood invites me I'm out of control

Witch's Eyes 05:29
She's walking on water shining like a diamond moving like a reptile making me want her She's out when the night comes smiling at everyone dancing like a maniac drinking like crazy never been lazy She makes me wanna see her makes me wanna touch her makes me wanna kiss her makes me wanna feel her She tells me I'm different tells me I'm special I'm wrapped around her thighs got me wrapped around her finger making me linger, making me need her But she lies, she's always in disguise yes she lies, she's got witch's eyes She's not like everybody I hunger for her mind hunger for her soul hunger for her body And she moves me, she moves me she moves me, she moves me round and round and round and round...

Outlaw 02:27
I'd like to be an outlaw with a pocket full of shells I'd like to live the stories that no one ever tells I'd like to be a gambler with a belly full of booze with nothing to win and nothing to lose Like Jesse James, like Billy the kid, I'd like to wander 'round from place to place, from town to town, but nowhere to be bound I'd like to be a messenger of justice and of truth like steal from the rich and give to the poor And when I die, I don't want no tombstone above my head for the Lord knows that I tried and I did the best I can just unsaddle my loyal horse and let it run wild and free and tell my black eyed girl that I'll love her eternally I'd like to be an outlaw with a six piece in my hand but I must be a victim of the devil's evil plan I should've been out there riding, feeling the west breeze on my knees but something went wrong and I'm stuck here in Greece
