Night Ranger Rock In Japan 97 Lyrics
1.Neverland

Written:Jack Blades/Dean Grakal/Mark Hudson

I do believe I have a plan
To steal the Queen of Neverland
Cause I was in her neighborhood
Feeling just like Robin Hood

With only our love to protect us
Hoping they won't detect us
through the castle's open air
Sliding down the spiral stairs

I do believe I have a plan
To steal the Queen of Neverland
I slipped into her room and said
'Come with me the King is dead'

In the name of lustful just rewards
As Knights shall fall upon their swords
And grant this poor boy's wish tonight
To make the Queen a noble wife

I do believe I have a plan
To steal the Queen of Neverland
When I come breaking down her door
She's the one I'm looking for

Black and white
First you're here then it's cool
It's wrong--it's right--it's right

Ah ah ah ah ah ah

I'll do whatever I must do
Scale the walls to be with you
And word will spread throughout the land
'He stole the Queen of Neverland'

I do believe I have a plan
To steal the Queen of Neverland
And every boy to become a man
Must steal the Queen of Neverland
Steal the Queen of Neverland
Steal the Queen of Neverland
Never Never Neverland


2.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 though the heat
Set out all alone
On a hot summer night
Man she got the touch
She makes 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
Now 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 of madness


3.My Elusive Mind

Written:Jack Blades/Pat Macdonald/Mark Nevin

I've got to tie a few loose ends
Apologize to all my friends
I really did it bigtime
Slam-danced on a land mine
I hope you're alright my dear
Sorry 'bout the chandelier
The party was just beginning
Man I was Tarzan swinging
I won't pretend that someone
Spiked my beer

There's a world around the corner
In my elusive mind
Wrong way down a one way highway
It's Sunday all the time
All the time

Morning hit me like a stone
Someone shoot the telephone
Sounds like Beelzebub singing
Sounds like church bells ringing
The theme song to 'The Twilight Zone'

There's a world around the corner
In my elusive mind
Wrong way down a one way highway
It's Sunday all the time
I'm on permanent vacation
Where the weather is just fine
Chasing sunshine and tornadoes
And my elusive mind
All the time
I'll be fine

I know a girl her name is Mona
In my elusive mind
She phones from Tucson, Arizona
Where the weather is just fine
She said she'd maybe try and help out
If she has the time
Gimme back my four track and my self-doubt

Yeah yeah yeah
Running down that rusty road to Zion
Ain't no use trying to rely on
My elusive
My elusive
My elusive... mind


4.Sing Me Away

Lyrics:Kelly Keagy/Jack Blades
Music:Kelly Keagy/Jack Blades

Sometimes I sit and I dream on for hours
Sometimes my hours they turn into days
I dream of a girl I once knew as a schoolboy
She is the one who could sing me away
But she is a long ways away
And I want to be with her today
I'll think of a way I can get back
Oh I'd run all the way back home

Sing me away
Sing me away
Sing me away
Sing me away

What do you see when you look in the mirror
I see a face from the past it's so clear
What do you hear when I sing you forever
A song that will last for a million years
But I am a long ways away
I want to be with you today
Think of a way I can get back
Oh I'll run all the way back home

Sing me away
Sing me away
Sing me away
Sing me away


5.Someday I Will

Written:Jack Blades/Gary Burr/Kelly Keagy

Caught in the act of doubting
So hard to look away
I don't know if it's fear or faith
That makes me stay

So maybe I've decided
Sometimes enough is enough
I'm just a man at the end of the day
In love

So what if I
Can't walk on water
So what if I'm not
King of the hill
Right now I can't
But what does it matter
Love me and someday I will

Some call it human error
Watching a dream fall through
Well maybe it's time
That I turn my trust to you

So what if I
Can't walk on water
So what if I'm not
King of the hill
Right now I can't
But what does it matter
Love me and someday I will

You say you'll never know
(Ah never know)
I say that time will show
(Ah time will show)
So maybe I'll just let go
(Maybe I'll just let go)
Maybe I'll just let go

So what if I
Can't walk on water
So what if I'm not
King of the hill
Right now I can't
But what does it matter
Love me and someday I will

So what if I
Can't walk on water
So what if I'm not
King of the hill
Right now I can't
But what does it matter
Love me and someday I will

Someday I will

7.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've 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

Rumours 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
Rumours
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

Rumours 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
Rumours Rumours
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
Well there's a rumor in the air
Killing me

Rumours 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
Rumours Rumours
Rumors in the air

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

Rumors
Rumors
Rumors
Rumors in the air

9.Eddie's Comin' Out Tonight

Lyrics:Jack Blades
Music:Jack Blades

He wears his trousers real tight
And his skin is so white
He lives beyond his means

He wear Italian shoes
That are used to good news
They walk behind the scenes

He live a tenderloin life
The street's his type
In the alley's where he's king

He got a grin on his face
He says he loves the rat race
He always plays to win

Eddie's coming out tonight
He like to rock (he rock it all night long)
He like to roll (oh yeah)
He like to rock (he rock it all night long)
He like to roll

He live a tale of two cites
Got a girl that looks pretty
She dresses for the rain

She doesn't care for a halo
She never ever says no
She's so insane

They like a late night madness
To break through the silence
You hear their mama's cry
The say tonight's the night
They're gonna cut you to your limit
Tonight you'll live or you'll die

Eddie's coming out tonight
He like to rock (he rock it all night long)
He like to roll (oh yeah)
He like to rock (he rock it all night long)
He like to roll (oh....)

He like to rock (rock! he rock it all night long)
He like to roll (he rolls he rolls)
He like to rock (rock! he rock it all night long)
He like to roll (oh....)


10.Sentimental Street

Lyrics:Jack Blades
Music:Jack Blades

Saw you walking out on Sentimental Street
What ha doing out there
Who you trying to be
I know what you e thinking
ause I e been there myself
I e been kicked so many times
I don know nothing else
Still I noticed your urgency
And recognized the flair
That ya got from chasing
All those East coast dares
And I e seen it before
It happens time and again
All cut up inside
Yet you e caught in a spin

Out on Sentimental Street
In the Avenues
Take a good hard look
There ain nothing ever new
Out on Sentimental Street
In the Avenues
Will you ever find out
Guess I l leave it up to you

Saw you dancing out at Madame Wong Two
You did them same two steps
That I taught you back in June
Heard you dined last night
At Conte Razor Cafe
Did you get your fill
Did you think ya had to pay
Still I noticed your urgency
And recognized the pain
And I sure it the same
You feel again and again
And I wish I could get us
That second chance
But you e having too much fun
With your sudden romance

Out on Sentimental Street
In the Avenues
Take a good hard look
There ain nothing ever new
Out on Sentimental Street
In the Avenues
Will you ever find us
Guess I l leave it up to you

Out on Sentimental Street
In the Avenues
Take a good hard look
There ain nothing ever new
Out on Sentimental Street
In the Avenues
Will you ever find us
Guess I l leave it up to you

Sentimental Street
In the Avenues
Oh, take a good hard look
There ain nothing ever new
Out on Sentimental Street
In the Avenues
Will you ever find us
Guess I l leave it up to you
Saw you walking out on Sentimental Street
What ha doing out there
Who you trying to be
Out on Sentimental Street
In the Avenues
WIll you ever find us
Guess I l leave it up to you


11.Goodbye

Lyrics:Jeff Watson/Jack Blades
Music:Jeff Watson/Jack Blades

As the sun hides its head
Another nights rest
And the wind sings
Its same old song

And you on the edge
Never close, never far
Always there when I needed a friend

But it hard living life
On this memory-go-round
Always up, always down
Spinning ound and ound and ound

And all this could be
Such a dream, so it seems
I was never much good at goodbye

There once was a time
Never far from my mind
On the beach, on the 4th of July

I remember the sand
How you held out your hand
And we touched for what seemed a lifetime

But it hard
Leaving all this behind me now
Like a schoolboy so lost
Never found until now

And all this could be
Such a dream, so it seems
I was never much good at goodbye

And it hard
Living life on this memory-go round
Always up, always down
Spinning ound and ound and ound

And all this could be
Such a dream, so it seems
I was never much good at goodbye

And all this could be
Such a dream, so it seems
I was never much good at goodbye

Goodbye
Goodbye


12.Forever All Over Again

Lyrics:Jack Blades/Chuck Cannon
Music:Jack Blades/Chuck Cannon

If she wanted the world
To be a happier place
She's stop at least one tear
From rolling down my face
She'd think about me
Maybe pick up the phone
And say 'I'm missing you'
At the sound of the tone

If she wanted the world
To keep spinning around
She'd pick a piece of my heart
Up off of the ground
I'd whisper her name
In the still of the night
And while I'm dreaming of her
Holding me tight
She'd be changing her mind
Packing her clothes
She'd buy a one-way ticket
That would bring her home

And she'd come back to me
She'd be more than just a memory
She'd come back to me
And we would fall in love
Forever all over again

If I'd only known
How I'd be breaking inside
I would have begged her to stay
I would have swallowed my pride
I wouldn't be here
Drinking alone
I'd be holding her
'Cause she wouldn't be gone

So God if you're listening
From somewhere out there
You know I'm down on my knees
And if you'd answer one prayer

Then she'd come back to me
She'd be more than just a memory
She'd come back to me
And we would fall in love
Forever all over again

If she wanted the world
To be a happier place
She's stop at least one tear
From rolling down my face

She'd be changing her mind
Packing her clothes
She'd buy a one-way ticket
That would bring her home

Then she'd come back to me
She'd be more than just a memory
She'd come back to me
And we would fall in love
Forever all over again
Forever all over again
Yeah we would fall in love
Forever all over again


13.Slap Like Being born

Written:Jack Blades/Gary Burr/Kelly Keagy

I hear you won't dance you say
No one asks you anyway
Hard to make ends meet
Dominos every day
If the bible taught us anything
Adam got the best of the deal

Horizontal sailing
Something that you want to do
Telephone is ringing
But the message isn't getting through
How are you supposed to touch
If you don't even know how to feel
Open up your eyes
No one gets two tries

You need a shot
To knock you on your knees
(A slap like being born)
You need a shock
To force your brain to breathe
Nothing less or more
A slap like being born

Keystone holiday
You headed for the 'Show Me' state
Trials and tribulations
Money came a little late
Stoned downtown
With a paper bag and no shoes

Well so much innocence
Lose it in a second flat
Revolution on the way
You tell me what's up with that
This stuff was over back in 1972

So open up your eyes
You're in for a surprise

You need a shot
To knock you on your knees
(A slap like being born)
You need a shock
To force your brain to breathe
Nothing less or more
A slap like being born

Don't even go there
Don't even bother to try
Cause you know if you go there
Yeah, you might as well kiss me good-bye

You're in for a surprise
No one gets two tries

You need a shot
To knock you on your knees
(A slap like being born)
You need a shock
To force your brain to breathe
(A slap like being born)
You need a shot
To knock you on your knees
(A slap like being born)
You need a shock
To force your brain to breathe
Nothing less or more
A slap like being born
You need a shot
You need a shot
You need a shot


14.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 was gone
From the very start
Do you close your eyes
And dream about me

A girl in love
With a gleam in your 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
It 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 coulda 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 mean 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 go to sleep at night
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


15.New York Time

Written:Jeff Watson/Jack Blades/Kelly Keagy

Traffic
Six AM
New York time
A little late
Lose your job
Frame of mind

I don't know
What's the score
10 to 9
Take a swing
Tie it up
Miller time

Up all night
Take a run to the other side
It's all right
Don't you trip on your open mind

New York Time
Gotta get away from the New York Crime rave
New York Time
Got no reason to stay
New York Time
Gotta get away Gotta get away yea

Freak Show
Disco
Limousines
Crime rave
Not so
Fast with me

Out all night
On a run to the other side
It's alright
Don't you trip on your open mind

New York Time
Gotta get away from the New York Crime rave
New York Time
Got no reason to stay
New York Time
Gotta get away Gotta get away yea

Someone's singing 'Swing Low'
Waering a halo
In another time
Today is going to be the day
I rise above it all
Here I go
The sun is gonna shine

New York Time
Gotta get away from the New York Crime rave
New York Time
Got no reason to stay
New York Time
Gotta get away Gotta get away yea
New York Time
New York Time
New York Time


16.Don't Tell Me You Love Me

Lyrics:Jack Blades
Music:Jack Blades

It ain't the way you move
It ain't the way that you move me
Oh no
It ain't the way you shake
It ain't the way that you shake me
Oh no
I've lived 25 years
I'm a kid on the run
I got a pistol for action

Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me
I don't want to know

Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me
I don't want to know

I love the way you use
I love the way that you use me
Oh yeah
I love the way you shoot
I love the way that you shoot to kill me
Oh yeah
It's taken miles of lines
To learn the right from the wrong
I'll keep you hangin on

Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me
I don't want to know

Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me
I don't want to know

Oh the time has come
And you know

That you're the only one to say
O.K.
But you're motoring
Yeah motoring


18.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 tonight
She's gonna shake and make it last all night

Little brother's got a drivin' machine
A fast driver such a clean machine
They're going out they're gonna put out the lights
They gonna rock it rock it rock it

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

Little sister makes a move for the door
The door squeaks she's on the second floor
Her daddy wakes 'Is everything OK?'
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 up loud
And Rock it rock it rock it

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