Night Ranger Midnight Madness Lyrics
1.You Can Still ... Rock In America

Lyrics:Jack Blades/Brad Gillis
Music:Jack Blades/Brad Gillis


Little sister
By the record machine
A tiny dancer
Such a sweet sixteen
She's goin' out
She's gonna party tonite
She's gonna shake
And make it last all nite

Little brother's
Got a drivin' machine
A fast driver
Such a clean machine
They're goin' out
They're gonna put out the lights
They're gonna rock it rock it rock it


You can still rock in America
Ah yeah it's alright
You can still rock in America
Ah yeah all nite
You can still rock in America


Little sister
Makes a move for the door
The door squeaks
She's one the second floor
Her daddy wakes
'Is everything O.K.?'
Not a sound
As she makes her getaway

Little brother's
Got it ready to Roll
Tires burning
As they head for the show
Light it up
And turn the music on loud
They're rockin' rockin' rockin'


You can still rock in America
Ah yeah it's alright
You can still rock in America
Ah yeah all nite
You can still rock in America


(Rock in America)
You can still
(Rock in America)
Rock in America
(Rock in America)
Yeah you can still
(Rock in America)


You can still rock in America
Ah yeah it's alright
You can still rock in America
Ah yeah all night
You can still rock in America
You can still rock in America
Yeah you can still rock in America


2.Rumours In The Air

Lyrics:Jack Blades
Music:Jack Blades


Used to call me
By my first name
Now you never even call me at all
Used to say
I was your only flame
It was so simple
I believed it all

Now I hear
You got a new friend and lover
Who keeps you warm
On the cool cool nights
There's a rumor in the air
Don't seem right


Rumors in the air
Like a thief in the night
Taking more than their share
Taking more than their right
Rumors in the air
Like a thief in the night
Rumors
Rumors in the air


Used to call me
When you felt the pain
Now you never even feel it at all
Used to swear
That we would never change
And like a fool
I believed it all

Now you say
You had a weekend of trouble
As you stare me down
With those cool cool eyes
There's a rumor in the air
Don't seem right


Rumors in the air
Like a thief in the night
Taking more than their share
Taking more than their right
Rumors in the air
Like a thief in the night
Rumors
Rumors in the air


Used to call me
By my first name
Now you never even call me at all
Now you say
That I'm the one to blame
Doesn't matter
How I feel at all

Well I hear
You've got a new friend and lover
You'll take him down
It's so plain to see
There's a rumor in the air
Killing me


Rumors in the air
Like a thief in the night
Taking more than their share
Taking more than their right
Rumors in the air
Like a thief in the night
Rumors
Rumors in the air

Rumors in the air
Rumors in the air
Rumors in the air
Rumors
Rumors
Rumors
Rumors in the air


3.Why Does Love Have To Change

Lyrics:Jack Blades
Music:Jack Blades


The old words
Don't mean the same anymore
Time makes the change
As the faces begin to age

To the eyes
Things looks different than before
Spark and the flame
It'll never be the same
never be the same


Why does love have to change
Why does love have to change
Why does love have to change
Oh oh


The old place
Don't seen the same anymore
Yesterday's dreams
Lie discarded on the bedroom floor

In the heart
Will the pain go away
Time heals the wounds
But the scare seem to always stay
To haunt you another day


Why does love have to change
Why does love have to change
Why does love have to change
Oh oh

Why does love have to change
Why does love have to change
Why does love have to change
Oh oh


It's a hard way to go
I should'a left when my feelings showed
You had a hold on my soul
Oh
No more
It's the end of your reign
I still think it's strange
Why does love have to change


Why does love have to change
Why does love have to change
Why does love have to change
Yeah oh yeah

Why does love have to change
Why does love have to change
Why does love have to change
Oh

Lyrics:Kelly Keagy
Music:Kelly Keagy


Sister Christian
Oh the time has come
And you know
That you're the only one to say
O.K.
Where you going
What you looking for
You know those boys
Don't want to play no more
With you
It's true


You're motoring
What's your price for flight
In finding mister right
You'll be alright tonight


Babe you know
You're growing up so fast
And mommy's worrying
That you won't last to say
Let's play
Sister Christian
There's so much in life
Don't you give it up
Before your time is due
It's true
It's true yeah


Motoring
What's your price for flight
You've got him in your sights
And driving thru the night
Motoring
What's your price for flight
In finding mister right
You'll be alright tonight


Motoring
What's your price for flight
In finding mister right
You'll be alright tonight

You're motoring
What's your price for flight
In finding mister right
You'll be alright tonight


Sister Christian
Oh the time has come
And you know
That you're the only one to say
O.K.
But you're motoring
Yeah
motoring




5.Touch Of Madness

Lyrics:Jack Blades
Music:Jack Blades


She wakes in the morning
Got a smile on her face
She's not sentimental
About her night's embrace
Another lucky day
Lucky night on the town
Man she got the touch
I say she wears the crown
She say
'I get high when I want to
Don't ya think you need it too'


I need a touch
I need a touch of madness

I need a touch
I need a touch of madness


She changes by night
It's a crime in the street
She dazzles the boys
As she moves through the heat
Set out all alone
On a hot summer night
Man she got the touch
She'll make you sweat all night
She say
'I get wild when I want to
Madness is the thing to do'


I need a touch
I need a touch of madness

I need a touch
I need a touch of madness

I need a touch
I need a touch of madness


I wake in the morning
With a smile on my face
Never sentimental
About my night's embrace
Another lucky day
Lucky night on the town
Now I got the touch
Not I make the rounds
I say
'I get off when I want to
Don't you want to feel it too'


I need a touch
I need a touch of madness

I need a touch
I need a touch of madness

I need a touch
I need a touch
I need a touch
I need a touch of madness


6.Passion Play

Lyrics:Jack Blades
Music:Jack Blades


In a backstreet bar
On the south side of town
Where the music never stops
And the sun never hangs around
Never hangs around
Yeah two lovers meet
And their eyes feel the heat
When they're moving to the sound
And they're feet never touch the ground
Never touch the ground


Passion play
It's a game to take your breath away
Passion play
It's a game to take your breath away
Passion play


She feels kinda shy
As she turns on the make
She got the inside moves
Always gets what she means to take
And she takes to take
Well he feels kinda loose
As she tightens the noose
He's got the front runner on him
And nothing but his luck to lose
And that's a lot to lose


Passion play
It's a game to take your breath away
Passion play
It's a game to take your breath away
Passion play

It's just a passion play


Works up a sweat
And it's all for effect
As she takes another drag
Off her cigarette
He'll never really know
Her feelings never show
She's cut him down to size
With the fire in her eyes
Nowhere to run
Nothing to say
Is there any other way
Than to call it on a passion play


In a backstreet bar
On the south side of town
Where the music never stops
And the sun never hangs around
Never hangs around
Yeah two lovers die
As the passion hits their eyes
Moving to the sound
And their feet never touch the ground
Never touch the ground


Passion play
It's a game to take your breath away
Passion play
It's a game to take your breath away
Passion play
It's a game to take your breath away
Passion play
It's a game to take your breath away


7.When You Close Your Eyes

Written:Jack Blades/Alan Fitzgerald/Brad Gillis


What do you do
When it's falling apart
And you knew it as going
From the very start
Do you close your eyes
And dream about me

A girl in love
With a gleam in her eye
I was a younger boy
All dressed in white
We're older now
I bet you still think about me

I remember
We learned about love
In the back of a Chevrolet
Well it felt so good to be young
Feels like yesterday


When you close your eyes
Do you dream about me
When you close your eyes
Do you dream about me
Do you still dream about me


I guess I don't know
What I'm thinking
Coming off
A hard night of drinking
Angie come closer to me
I need a soul to bleed on

It could'a been done
In a different kinda way
But that ain't you
You play tough when you play
It's over now
I bet you still think about me

I remember
I held you so tight
And we danced the night away
With the moves
Of two wide eyed kids
I need you so much today


When you close your eyes
Do you dream about me
When you close your eyes
Do you dream about me
When you close your eyes
Do you dream about me
When you close your eyes
Do you dream about me


I remember
We learned about love
In the back of a Chevrolet
No good for an old memory
To me and so much today


When you close your eyes
Do you dream about me
When you close your eyes
Do you dream about me
When you close your eyes
Do you dream about me
When you close your eyes
Do you dream about me
When you close your eyes
Do you dream about me
When you close your eyes
Do you dream about me
When you close your eyes
Do you dream about me
When you close your big brown eyes
Do you dream about me


8.Chippin' Away

Lyrics:Jack Blades/Brad Gillis
Music:Jack Blades/Brad Gillis


Come over late
Got your hands on my fate
Candy don't you see what you're doing
Oh I lie awake
Another night put to waste
It's a shame
You got me comin' and goin'
Oh it's a price I gotta pay
To spend a night at heaven's gate


Chipping away
My heart every day
You got me
Hanging by my window

Chipping away
At my heart every day
You got me
Hanging by my window


Well I'm holding my breath
Hoping you'll put 'em to rest
All the stories
About you notching your bedpost
And it rings true to me
There's a notch on there for me
Ain't I better
Than your cut rate Romeo's?
Well I'm fool for your company
I know your loving
How you get to me


Chipping away
My heart every day
You got me
Hanging by my window

Chipping away
At my heart every day
You got me
Hanging by my window

Chipping away
My heart every day
You got me
Hanging by my window

Chipping away
At my heart every day
You got me
Hanging by my window


I never learned
How I should choose
With situation's
Often used in love
And all its masquerading ways
I'm living off
My second chance
And finding out
There's no romance
Around the world
With eighty ways
To chip away
It's so hard each day


Well you come over late
With your hands on your face
I love to hear you tell
All your stories
How you need me so much
Yet you're cold to the touch
You got me up down
Coming and going
Yea Yea...


Chipping away
My heart every day
You got me
Hanging by my window

Chipping away
At my heart every day
You got me
Hanging by my window

Chipping away
My heart every day
You got me
Hanging by my window

Chipping away
At my heart every day
You got me
Hanging by my window

Chipping away
Chipping away
Chipping away
Chipping away
Chipping away


9.Let Him Run

Written:Jeff Watson/Jack Blades/Kelly Keagy


Strap on your safety belt
Blazing in the sky
Thinking of nothing
No disguise
What happened to the one
The one you thought you knew
Did he just take away
What is missing in you


Let him run
Till he sees what he has done
Let him go on
Having all his fun
Mmm
Let him run


Take off your rocket shoes
And the straps from your wings
Wishing for miracles
Hear the young boy sing
What will you say to him
Whan he's back at your door
Got no time for users
I don't need you anymore


Let him run
Till he sees what he has done
Let him go on
Having all his fun
Let him cry
See the tears fall from his eyes
Let him run
Run Run Run Run Run

Oh
