Savage Amusement

1. Don't Stop At The Top LYRICS
You never take the easy way
The wind is blowing straight into your face
You never ever close your eyes
For any trouble that may cross your way
There's no risk that you're not taking
Not a mountain that's too high
Spread your wings, You're gonna make it
To the best time of your life

Don't stop at the top
Touch the sky before you drop

You never make a compromise
Your will has got the power that won't break
You never say never to a challenge
That will come along the way
There's no risk that you're not taking
Not a mountain that's too high
Spread your wings, you're gonna make it
To the best time of your life

Don't stop at the top
Touch the sky before you drop

Never stop! Don't stop at the top

2. Rhythm of Love LYRICS
Let's spend the night together
I know you want it too
The magic of the moment
Is what I've got for you
The heartbeat of this night
Is made to lose control
And there is something in your eyes
That's longing for some more
Let us find together
The beat we're looking for

The rhythm of love
Keeps me dancing on the road
The rhythm of love
Got the groove that hits the bone
The rhythm of love
Is the game I'm looking for
The rhythm of love
Is the heartbeat of my soul

Let's reach the top together
One night will never do
An exploding shot of pleasure
Is what I've got for you
Why don't you close your eyes
And let your feeling grow
I make you feel the taste of life
Until your love will flow
Let us find together
The beat we're longing for

The rhythm of love
Keeps me dancing on the road
The rhythm of love
Got the groove that hits the bone
The ryhthm of love
Is the game I'm looking for
The rhythm of love
Is the heartbeat of my soul

Let us find together
The beat we're looking for

3. Passion Rules The Game LYRICS
Stranded in this town
My machine slows down
To take me where the night begins
I'm playing everywhere
Loving here and there
I always take the chance to win
Drove a million miles
Gambling rules my life
I only stop to start again

I reach out through the air
Good look is everywhere
Can almost touch it with my hands

Just a little luck tonight
Will do and dreams come true
Just a little luck tonight
I can't stop the wheel
That turns the ball of steel

When passion rules the game
I ain't got no control, when my heart's in flames

I'm a stranger in this town
Life takes me up and down
I'll break the score until I'm free
Can't stop to roll the dice
And in the morning light
A girl like you is all I need

Don't you need some love tonight
I do, yes I do
Don't you need some love tonight
How can we stand the heat
When love is all we need

When passion rules the game
I ain't got no control, when my heart's in flames
03:58
4. Media Overkill LYRICS
They're watching me
They're watching you
Taking all the world under control
They make you laugh
They make you blue
In the end they try to eat your soul

Satellites transmit the latest thrill
We can't escape the media overkill

A purple flash
The biggest crash
Totally in tune around the world
They take you high
They make you cry
We are at the point of no return

Satellites transmit the latest thrill
We can't escape the media overkill

Over and over and over
03:32
5. Walking On The Edge LYRICS
Welcome to a trip
Into my hurt feelings
To the center of my soul
You better bring a light
To find the house of meanings
In the labyrinth of yes or no
For you, life is just like chess
If you don't make a move
You'll lose the game like this

Cause you, you're walking on the edge
You, you chose the way of love and pain
You, don't you see the bridge
I've built for you, it's just one step to start again

Welcome to a trip
Into my emotions
To the language of my heart
You're sailing on a river
That becomes an ocean
Which you can only cross with love
For you, life is just like chess
If you don't make a move
You'll lose the game like this

Cause you, you're walking on the edge
You, you chose the way of love and pain
You, don't you see the bridge
I've built for you, it's just one step to start again
05:05
6. We Let It Rock...You Let It Roll LYRICS
We come to you through a storm of lightning
To drive this place totally insane
Another show that really keeps us fighting
For what it takes to blow your mind away
Hey you, are you ready for tonight
Can you hear me now
Let me hear you too

We come to you through a wall of thunder
Electrified by the sound of the Guitars
Hey you, are you ready for tonight
Can you see me now
I wanna see you out there

We let it rock to free your energy
You let it roll, come on get on your feet
We let it rock to feed your hungry dreams
You let it roll, up to the ecstasy

We come to you through a burst of fire
Energized by the feedback of the crowd
Hey you, are you ready for tonight
Can you feel me now
Can you feel the groove

We let it rock to free your energy
You let it roll, come on get on your feet
We let it rock to feed your hungry dreams
You let it roll, up to the ecstasy
03:38
7. Every Minute Every Day LYRICS
Well it seems that I was lost
In intoxicated nights
Following the trace of ecstasy
With no future and no past
Just the present was alive
Like a prisoner chained on to a dream

I was drowning in a feeling
That obsession rules
'till the morning kills the creatures of the night
And I read your lipstick message
On the mirror of the truth
Now that you're gone I realize
Without you
Life's like a song without music
Without you
This world won't be the same

I need your love, every minute
I need your love, every day
I need your love, every minute
I need your love, come back and stay

Well I know that I was lost
In the nightmare of my life
Following the flash of fantasy
In a feeling that exploded
I'd left reality behind
Addicted to the power of a dream
Without you
Life's like that road that leads nowhere
Without you
The world won't feel the same

I need your love, every minute
I need your love, every day
I need your love, every minute
I need your love, come back and stay
04:21
8. Love On The Run LYRICS
I love you once
Rock you twice
My love's a gun that wants to talk tonight
I kiss the lust
Right from your lips
The way it feels will hit you like a blitz

Day after day
Day after day I rock the speed
Night after night
Night after night

Love on the run
Always loaded like a gun
For love

Turn outside in
And inside out
With me you'll find the kicks you've never found
I kiss the pearl
Right from the shell
Until You'll feel what all these words can't tell
Day after day
Day after day I'm burning free
Night after night
Night after night

Love on the run
Always loaded like a gun
For love on the run
03:35
9. Believe In Love LYRICS
How does it feel babe
To taste sweet revenge
Do you want me on my knees
How does it feel babe
to let me feel your strength
Don't be cruel, can't you see
If you don't catch me now
I can't stop falling down
Just one more night and the devil's got my soul
I need your love babe don't tell me "no way"
Babe I miss you so much more than words can say

How does it feel babe
To kill our destiny
I swear I'm not gonna crawl oh no
How does it feel babe
To make a fool out of me
How can you be so cold
If you don't catch me now
I can't stop falling down
Just one more night and the devil's got my soul
I need your love babe don't treat me this way
Ooh I miss you, I miss you

Baby our love's got what it takes
To give us one more chance to start once again
Baby our love will find a way
As long as we believe in love
