Creatures Of The Night
(Paul Stanley & Adam Mitchell)
 
Searching in the darkness, running from the day 
Hiding from tomorrow, nothing left to say 
Victims of the moment, future deep in doubt 
Living in a whisper till we start to shout 
We're creatures of the night, we're creatures of the night 

Breathing in the madness, spitting out the lies 
Searching for an answer, keep your alibis 
Don't know where we're goin', just know where we've been 
Remember when the clock strikes twelve, the losers always win 

We're creatures of the night, we're creatures of the night 

Searching in the darkness, running from the day 
Hiding from tomorrow, nothing left to say 
Gathering up our courage, ready for the fight 
Howling in the shadows, till we start to bite 

We're creatures of the night, we're creatures of the night 
We're creatures of the night, we're creatures of the night

Deuce
(Gene Simmons)
 
Get up 
And get your grandma outta here 
Pick up 
Old Jim is workin' hard this year 
And baby 
Do the things he says to do 
Baby, if you're feeling good 
And baby if you're feeling nice 
You know your man is workin' hard 
He's worth a deuce 

Honey 
Don't put your man behind his years 
And baby 
Stop cryin' all your tears 
Baby 
Do the things he says to do 
Do it 

Baby, if you're feeling good 
And baby if you're feeling nice 
You know your man is workin' hard 
He's worth a deuce 

And baby, if you're feeling good 
Yes baby if you're feeling nice 
You know your man is workin' hard 
Yeah

I Just Wanna
(Paul Stanley)
 
I got a body built for sin and an appetite for passion 
Yeah I can see the road to ruin and I'm lookin' for some action 
I got my finger on the trigger and a match to the fuse 
I'll make someone an offer that's too big to refuse 
Tired of tryin' to be what I'll never be, baby, you could never see that 

Chorus: 
I don't want a romance, I don't wanna dance, I just wanna forget you 
Time to take my chances, find somebody new 
I just wanna for, I just wanna for, I just wanna forget you 

I'm gonna set the night on fire, shootin' like a Roman Candle 
Ooh yeah, I'm burnin' with desire and I'm much too hot to handle 
I'm like a runaway, crazy train, I'm out of control 
If you try to put the brakes on, I'm still gonna roll 

Tired of tryin' to do what you want me to, baby, I'm just tired of you, yeah 

I don't want a romance, I don't wanna dance, I just wanna forget you 
Time to take my chances, find somebody new 
I just wanna for, I just wanna for, I just wanna for 
I just wanna forget you 

(Instrumental break) 

Wake up, baby, don't you sleep, I can't take this one more week 
If I can't go out to play, I can't make it one more day 

I wanna play with dynamite, time is right for heavy breathing 
Gettin' stone cold crazy till the dawn without a reason 
I wanna take me a vacation down a long stretch of track 
I'll find a new sensation and I ain't comin' back 

Tired of tryin' to be what I'll never be, baby, you could never see that 

I don't want a romance, I don't wanna dance 
I don't want a romance, or a second chance 
I don't want a romance, I don't wanna dance 
I just wanna for, I just wanna forget 

chorus repeats 2x 

I just wanna forget you, yeah!

Unholy
(Gene Simmons)
 
I was there through the ages 
Chained snakes to their cages 
I have seen you eat your own 
I'm the cycle of pain 
Of a thousand year old reign 
I'm suicide and salvation 
The omen to nations 
That you worship on all fours 
I'm the infection and famine 
That's knocking at your door 

That's why you're feeling so 

Unholy 
Oh, I was created by man, you know I'm.... 
Unholy 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

I am the incubus 
i lay the egg in you 
The worm that burrows 
Through your brain 
But you are the beast 
That calls me by my name 

You send your children to war 
To serve bastards and whores 
So now you know 
You created me 
On the day that you were born 

Unholy 
I was created by man, yeah I'm the Lord of the flies, you know I'm 
Unholy 
From the left hand of power comes the father of lies 
Unholy - Unholy! 

(Instrumental break) 

I lay you down to sleep 
Your soul to keep 
Better cross your heart before you die 
And now you know 
Know that you are mine 

That's why you're feeling so 

Unholy, Unholy, Unholy - Unholy!!

Heaven's On Fire
(Paul Stanley & Desmond Child)
 
I look at you and my blood boils hot, I feel my temperature rise 
I want it all, give me what you got, there's hunger in your eyes 
I'm getting closer, baby hear me breathe 
You know the way to give me what I need 
Just let me love you and you'll never leave 
Chorus: 
Feel my heat takin' you higher, burn with me, Heaven's on fire 
Paint the sky with desire, angel fly, Heaven's on fire 

I got a fever ragin' in my heart, you make me shiver and shake 
Baby don't stop, take it to the top, eat it like a piece of cake 
You're comin' closer, I can hear you breathe 
You drive me crazy when you start to tease 
You could bring the devil to his knees 

chorus 

Oho Heaven's on fire, oho Heaven's on fire, oho 

I'm getting closer, baby hear me breathe 
You know the way to give me what I need 
Just let me love you and you'll never leave

Watchin' You
(Gene Simmons)
 
Livin' as you do and I'm watchin' you 
And you don't really know a-just what to do 
You don't really know 
You don't really know 
What to do 

And I'm standin' here not quite aware 
And I'm tryin' baby, tryin' not to stare 

Ooh, 'cause everybody else is here 
Yes, everybody else is here 
Everybody else is here 
Watchin' you 

Ooh, 'cause everybody else is here 
Yes, everybody else is here 
Everybody else is here 
Watchin' us

Domino
(Gene Simmons)
 
"Now lemme tell ya my story, I got a man-sized predicament 
And it's a big one, goes like this, yeah" 
My my, ow, yeah! 

Never had confession, never had a home 
Never had no worry, until I met Domino 

Ain't the virgin Mary, love her I confess 
Got my hesitations, 'cause she kisses like the kiss of death 

Loves lots of money, back's against the wall 
Calls me "Sugar Daddy", she knows she's got me by the balls 

They call her Domino - "so fine" 

Got a reputation, haven't got a hope 
It's a sticky situation, if she ain't old enough to vote 

Loves to play with fire, loves to hurt so good 
Loves to keep me burnin', 'cause she's a bad habit, bad habit 
Bad habit that's good, good, good 

They call her Domino, Domino, Domino 

(Instrumental break) 

"Every damn time I walk through that door, it's the same damn thing 
That bitch bends over, and I forget my name - ow!" 

Loves lots of money, back's against the wall 
Calls me "Sugar Daddy", she knows she's got me by the balls - ow! 
Loves to play with fire, love her I confess 
Got no hesitations, cause she's a bad habit, bad habit, she's a bad habit! 

"Yeah"

I Still Love You
(Paul Stanley & Vincent Cusano)
 
You tell me that you're leaving, and I'm trying to understand 
I had myself believing I should take it like a man 
But if you gotta go, then you gotta know that it's killing me 
And all the things I never seem to show, I gotta make you see 
Girl it's been so long, (tell me) how could it be 
One of us knows the two of us don't belong in each others company 
It hurts so much inside, your telling me goodbye, you wanna be free 
And knowin' that you're gone and leavin' me behind 
I gotta make you see, I gotta make you see, I gotta make you see 

I still love you, I still love you 
I really, I really love you, I still love you 

People tell me I should win at any cost 
But now I see as the smoke clears away, the battle has been lost 

I see it in your eyes, you never have to lie, I'm out of your life 
Tonight I'll dream away and you can still be mine 
But I'm dreamin' a lie, dreamin' a lie, makes me wanna die 

'Cause I still love you, I still love you 
Baby, baby I love you, I still love you 

And when I think of all the things you'll never know 
There's so much left to say 
'Cos girl, now I see the price of losing you will be my half to pay 
My half to pay, each and every day, hear what I say 

I still love you, I still love you 
I really, I really love you, I still love you 
Baby, baby, I love you, I love you, I really, I really love you

Don't wanna wait 'til you know me better

Forever
(Paul Stanley & Michael Bolton)
 
I gotta tell you what I'm feelin' inside, I could lie to myself, but it's true 
There's no denying when I look in your eyes, girl I'm out of my head over you 
I lived so long believin' all love is blind 
But everything about you is tellin' me this time 
Chorus: 
It's forever, this time I know and there's no doubt in my mind 
Forever, until my life is thru, girl I'll be lovin' you forever 

I hear the echo of a promise I made 
When you're strong you can stand on your own 
But those words grow distant as I look at your face 
No, I don't wanna go it alone 
I never thought I'd lay my heart on the line 
But everything about you is tellin' me this time 

chorus - yeah! 

I see my future when I look in your eyes 
It took your love to make my heart come alive 
Cos I lived my life believin' all love is blind 
But everything about you is tellin' me this time

I Love It Loud
(Paul Stanley & Vincent Cusano)
 
Stand up, you don't have to be afraid, get down - love is like a hurricane 
Street boy, no I never could be tamed, better believe it 
Guilty 'til I'm proven innocent, whiplash, heavy metal accident 
Rock on, I wanna be President, 'cos 

Chorus: 
I love it loud, I wanna hear it loud, right between the eyes 
Loud, I wanna hear it loud, I don't want to compromise 

Turn it up, hungry for the medicine, two fisted to the very end 
No more treated like aliens, we're not gonna take it 

chorus repeats 2x 

Headlines jungle is the only rule, front page roar of the nation cool 
Turn it up, this is my attitude, take it or leave it 

chorus repeats out [both lines 'I love it loud, ...']

Detroit Rock City
(Paul Stanley & Bob Ezrin)
 
I feel uptight on a Saturday night 
Nine o' clock, the radio's the only light 
I hear my song and it pulls me through 
Comes on strong, tells me what I got to do 
I got to 

Get up 
Everybody's gonna move their feet 
Get down 
Everybody's gonna leave their seat 
You gotta lose your mind in Detroit Rock City 

Get up 
Everybody's gonna move their feet 
Get down 
Everybody's gonna leave their seat 

Getting late 
I just can't wait 
Ten o'clock and I know I gotta hit the road 
First I drink, then I smoke 
Start up the car, and I try to make the midnight show 

Get up 
Everybody's gonna move their feet 
Get down 
Everybody's gonna leave their seat 

Movin' fast, doin' 95 
Hit top speed but I'm still movin' much too slow 
I feel so good, I'm so alive 
I hear my song playin' on the radio 
It goes 

Get up 
Everybody's gonna move their feet 
Get down 
Everybody's gonna leave their seat 

Twelve o'clock, I gotta rock 
There's a truck ahead, lights starin' at my eyes 
Oh my God, no time to turn 
I got to laugh 'cause I know I'm gonna die 
Why 

Get up 
Everybody's gonna move their feet 
Get up 
Everybody's gonna leave their seat

God Gave Rock 'N' Roll To You II
(Paul Stanley)
 
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you 
Put it in the soul of everyone 
Do you know what you want? You don't know for sure 
You don't feel right, you can't find a cure 
And you're gettin' less than what you're lookin' for 

You don't have money or a fancy car 
And you're tired of wishin' on a falling star 
You gotta put your faith in a loud guitar 

Chorus: 
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you 
Gave rock and roll to everyone (oh yeah) 
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you 
Put it in the soul of everyone 

"Now listen" 
If you wanna be a singer, or play guitar 
Man, you gotta sweat or you won't get far 
Cause it's never too late to work nine-to-five 

You can take a stand, or you can compromise 
You can work real hard or just fantasize 
But you don't start livin' till you realize - "I gotta tell ya!" 

God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you 
Gave rock and roll to everyone 
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you 
Put it in the soul 

(Instrumental break) 

God gave rock and roll to you (to everyone he gave the song to be sung) 
Gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to everyone 

God gave rock and roll to you (to everyone he gave the song to be sung) 
Gave rock and roll to you, saved rock and roll for everyone 
Saved rock and roll 

chorus repeats out... 

"I know life sometimes can get tough! And I know life sometimes can be a drag! 
But people, we have been given a gift, we have been given a road 
And that road's name is... Rock and Roll!"
