BLACK NIGHT

Black night is not right
I don't feel so bright
I don't care to sit tight
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
That I'm free, free to be me
Black night is a long way from home

I don't need a dark tree
I don't want a rough sea
I can't feel, I can't see
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
That I'm free, free to be me
Black night is a long way from home

Black night, black night
I don't need black night
I can't see dark night
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
That I'm free, free to be me
Black night is a long way from home


SPEED KING

Good Golly! said little miss Molly
When she was rockin' in the house of blue light
Tutti Frutti was oh so rooty
When she was rockin' to the east and west
Lucille was oh so real
When she didn't do her daddies will
Come on baby drive me crazy, do it, do it
I'm a speed king - You got to hear me sing
I'm a speed king - See me fly

Saturday night and I just got paid
Gonna fool about, ain't gonna save
Some people gonna rock, some people gonna roll
Gonna have a party to save my soul
Hard headed woman and a soft hearted man
They've been causing trouble since it all began
Take a little rice, take a little beans
Gonna rock and roll down to New Orleans
I'm a speed king - You got to hear me sing
I'm a speed king - See me fly

Good Golly said little miss Molly
When she was rockin' in the house of blue light
Tutti Frutti was oh so rooty
When she was rockin' to the east and west
Some people gonna rock, some people gonna roll
Gonna have a party to save my soul
Come on baby, drive me crazy, do it, do it


STRANGE KIND OF WOMAN

There once was a woman, a strange kind of woman
The kind that gets written down in history
Her name was nancy, her face was nothing fancy
She left a trail of happiness and misery

I loved her, everybody loved her
She loved everyone and gave a good return
I tried to take her, I even tried to break her
She said I ain't for taking, won't you ever learn

I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
I spent my money as I took my turn
I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
Oh I got a strange kind of woman

She looked like a raver but I could never please her
On wednesday mornings boy you can't go far
I couldn't get her but things got better, she said
Saturday nights from now on baby you're my star

She finally said she loved me, I wed her in a hurry
No more callers and I glowed with pride
I'm dreaming, I feel like screaming
I won my woman just before she died

I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
I spent my money as I took my turn
I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
Oh I got a strange kind of woman


FIREBALL

The golden light above you show me where you're from
The magic in your eye bewitches all you gaze upon
You stand upon your hill and behop all around you
They wonder where you're from oh yeah they wonder where I found you
Oh my love it's a long way where you're from, it's a long way

I tried to understand you, I tried to love you right
The way you smile and touch me always sets my heart alight
Your lips are like a fire burning through my soul
And people ask me where you're from, they really wanna know
Oh my soul it's a long way where you're from, it's a long way

Aah magic woman wreckin' up my soul
Things you tell me have never been told
Magic woman I don't know
Electric before me, I love you so I love you so... Oooh!

You're racing like a fireball, dancing like a ghost
You're gemini and I don't know which one I like the most
My head is getting broken and my mind is getting bust
But now I'm coming with you down the road of golden dust
Oh my love it's a long way where you're from, it's a long way

The golden light above you show me where you're from
The magic in your eye bewitches all you gaze upon
You stand upon your hill bebop all around you
They wonder where you're from oh yeah they wonder where I found you
Oh my love it's a long way where you're from, it's a long way


CHILD IN TIME

Sweet child in time, you'll see the line
Line that's drawn between good and bad
See the blind man shooting at the world
Bullets flying taking toll
If you been bad - Oh Lord I bet you have
And you've not been hit oh by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes aahouh bow your head
Wait for the ricochet
Ooh ooh ooh...

Sweet child in time, you'll see the line
Line that's drawn between good and bad
See the blind man shooting at the world
Bullets flying taking toll
If you've been bad - Lord I bet you have
And you've not been hit by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes aahaah bow your head
Wait for the ricochet
Ooh ooh ooh...


WOMAN FROM TOKYO

Fly into the rising sun
Faces smiling everyone
Yeah she is a whole new tradition
Aoh I feel it in my heart

My woman from Tokyo, she makes me see
My woman from Tokyo, she's so good to me

Talk about her like a queen
Dancing in an eastern dream
Yeah she makes me feel like a river
Aoh that carries me away

My woman from Tokyo, she makes me see
My woman from Tokyo, she's so good to me

But i'm at home and I... I just don't belong

So far away from the garden we love
She is what moves in the soul of a dove
Ooooooh...

Soon I shall see just how black was my night
When we're alone in her city of light
Ooooooh...

Rising from the neon gloom
Shining like a crazy moon
Yeah she turns me on like a fire
Aoh I get... high

My woman from Tokyo, she makes me see
My woman from Tokyo, she's so good to me

My woman from Tokyo, she makes me see
My woman from Tokyo, she's so good to me

My woman from Tokyo
My woman from Tokyo
My woman from Tokyo
My woman from Tokyo...


HIGHWAY STAR

Oah nobody gonna take my car
I'm gonna race it to the ground
Nobody gonna beat my car
It's gonna break the speed of sound

Oh it's a killing machine
It's got everything
Like a driving power
Big fat tyres and everything
I love it and I need it, I bleed it
Yeah it's a wild hurricane
Alright hold tight, I'm a highway star

Nobody gonna take my girl
I'm gonna keep her to the end
Nobody gonna have my girl
She stays close on every bend

Oh she's a killing machine
She's got everything
A moving mouth
Body control and everything
I love her an' I need her, I seed her
Yeah she turns me on
Alright hold tight, I'm a highway star

Nobody gonna take my head
I got speed inside my brain
Nobody gonna steal my head
Now that I'm on the road again

Oh I'm in heaven again
I've got everything
Like a moving ground
An open road and everything
I love it and I need it, I seed it
Eight cylinders all mine
Alright hold tight, I'm a highway star

Nobody gonna take my car
I'm gonna race it to the ground
Nobody gonna beat my car
It's gonna break the speed of sound

Oh it's a killing machine
It's got everything
Like a driving power
Big fat tyres and everything
I love it and I need it, I bleed it
Yeah it's a mad hurricane
Alright hold tight, I'm a highway star
I'm a highway star
I'm a highway star


SPACE TRUCKIN'

Well we had a lot of luck on Venus
We always had a ball on Mars
Meeting all the groovey people
We've rocked the Milky Way so far
We danced around with Borealice
We're space truckin' 'round the stars

Come on, come on, come on
Let's go space truckin'
Come on, come on, come on
Space truckin'

Remember when we did the moonshot
And Pony Trekker led the way
We'd move to the Canaveral moonstop
And every 'naut would dance and sway
We got music in our solar system
We're space truckin' 'round the stars

Come on, come on, come on
Let's go space truckin'
Come on, come on, come on
Space truckin'

The fireball that we rode was moving
But now we've got a new machine
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, the freak said
Man those cats can really swing
They got music in their solar system
They've rocked around the Milky Way
They danced around the Borealice
They're space truckin' everyday

Come on, come on, come on
Let's go space truckin'
Come on, come on, come on
Space truckin'

Come on, come on, come on
Let's go space truckin'
Come on, come on, come on
Space truckin'

Yeah yeah yeah space truckin'
Yeah yeah yeah space truckin'...


DEMON'S EYE

I don't care what you do
Just so long yeah it ain't me and you
Sly, sly... Ouh like a demon's eye

Everything's good, I said everything's fine
You don't know, don't know it's the end of your time
How does it feel to be turned away?
I've known it baby almost every day
Sly, sly... Mmm like a demon's eye

I don't need you anymore
I don't want you baby hanging 'round my door
You slip and slide 'round my brain
You think you're so clever yeah but you know you're insane
Sly, sly... Like a demon's eye

Like a demon's eye oh oh yeah
You're so sly baby yeah oooh yeah...


STORMBRINGER

Coming out of nowhere, driving like rain
Stormbringer dance on the thunder again
Dark cloud gathering, breaking the day
No point running 'cos it's coming your way

Ride the rainbow, crack the sky
Stormbringer coming, time to die
Got to keep runnin'
Stormbringer comin'
He's got nothing you need
He's gonna make you bleed
Oh yeah-yeah
You know he's gonna get you

Rainbow shaker on a stallion twister
Bareback rider on the eye of the sky
Stormbringer coming down meaning to stay
Thunder and lightning heading your way

Ride the rainbow, crack the sky
Stormbringer coming, time to die
Got to keep running
Stormbringer coming
He's got nothing you need
He's gonna make you bleed
Yeah

Mm ouh-ooh yeah
Coming out of nowhere, driving like rain
Stormbringer dance on the thunder again
Dark cloud gathering, breaking the day
No point running mmh
'Cos he's coming your way
'Cos he's coming your way...


SMOKE ON THE WATER

We all came out to Montreux on the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile - We didn't have much time
Frank Zappa & the Mothers were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun burned the place to the ground

Smoke on the water - A fire in the sky
Smoke on the water

They burned down the gambling house - It died with an awful sound
Funky & Claude was running in and out, pulling kids out of the ground
When it all was over, we had to find another place
Swiss time was running out - It seemed that we would lose the race

Smoke on the water - A fire in the sky
Smoke on the water

We ended up at the Grand Hotel - It was empty, cold and bare
But with the Rolling Truck Stones Thing just outside making our music there
With a few red lights an' a few old beds, we made a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this, I know... I know we'll never forget

Smoke on the water - A fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
