::Lyrics::
1.Midnight Driver Of A Love Machine
Winger, Beach, Purnell

The moon is rising through the dust
A new horizon feel her touch down to earth
Flames are breathing like volcanoes

Stobes are flashing, needles pinned
Hearts are pounding, she moves in
Here for virtue, lust or sin
Is she my savior

She walks she talks like nothing in the real world
Her body rocks this place like she's from outer space
I got my money for a ticket to ride along

Far from the fray light years away

Late shifts over in this working town
She starts her motor when the sun goes down
Mysterious lover in my darkest dream
She's a midnight driver of a love machine

Her tough gives me a nuclear reaction
Takes me to places that she guarantees to satisfy
Electric rhythm from my head down to my toes

By remote control she'll save your soul

Late shifts over in this working town
She starts her moter when the sun goes down
She runs on sex and gasoline
She's a midnight driver of a love machine

Her shifts is over
The smoke has cleared
Vanished from the atmosphere
Love is rendered
Her work is done
Set her spaceship toward the sun

Late shifts over in this working town
She starts her moter when the sun goes down
Mysterious lover in my darkest dream
She's a midnight driver of a love machine

She runs on sex and gasoline
She's a midnight driver of a love machine

2.Queen Babylon
Winger, Beach, Purnell

Born from a bad seed, exiled on main street
Ran off the rails of the roller coaster
Landed in plain sight, she knew what boys liked
She used her power like a holy roller

Down on her knees, takin gold for her dances
She cast the fruit in the land of forbidden
She should be pardoned, sins forgiven

God save the queen, stop this execution
She's such a long way from home
God save queen babylon

She wore a jeweled crown, the lions knelt down
Her fallend monarchs lined the floor of her castle
Love was her business, she took no prisoners
And now the righteous have all bound her in shackles

Lost in her dream of a life in the city
In babylon girl, so young and pretty
Traded her soul for their lust and desire
Tied at the stake, her feet to the fire

God save the queen, stop this execution
She's just an american girl
God save queen babylon

Down on her knees, as she pleads to the jury
Oh loyal subjects, lord have mercy

God save the queen, stop the execution
She's such a long way from home
God save the queen, stop the revolution
She's just an american girl
God save queen babylon

3.Rat Race
Winger, Beach, Purnell

Tapped in this town where the sun never shines
In a train underground we're lost in the tunnel of time
Day after day at the sound of the gun we fight for positions
Elbow to elbow we run

Our names and our numbers are scrolled in our backs
Don't ever look down man you'll fall through the cracks

Spinning our wheels in this rat race
Shifting gears they go round and roun
You know how it feels at this fast pace
Run for your life you can never slow down

I'm down on my luck I'm falling behind
I was beating the clock but I've run out of , run out of time
I'm weak in the knees, my hearts gonna fall
First man to the future, last man left dead on the trail

There's sweat in my eyes, and blood on my hands
It's run for you life man, as fast as your can

Spinning our wheels in this rat race
Shifing gears they go round and round
You know how it feels at this fast pace
Run for your life you can never slow down

The whole world is turning at break your neck speed
Can't get what you want man you get what you need

Spinning our wheels in this rat race
Shifting gears they go round and round
You know how it feels at this fast pace
Run for your life you can never slow down

solo: Reb Beach/ John Roth

4.Better Days Comin'
Winger, Beach

There's a sign of a better day comin'
It's your time, so baby stop bumming
Just feel the love in stormy weather

And if you wanna know how
you gotta line 'em up now
Every damn day (right now)

If you want it come and get it
Woah, yeah

Just like Saturday
Everything's OK

Turn around
All around the world
Better days comin'
You're the sound
Just gotta listen now
Better days comin'

There's a light at the end of your tunnel
Like day from night
Woah, yeah

Just a step away
Everthing's OK

Turn around
All around the world
Better days comin'
You're the sound
Just gotta listen now
Better days comin

Solo: Reb Beach

5.Tin Soldier
Winger, Beach, Purnell

It's all the same, and then suddenly
You see the frame, but turn away
Faces in time, that's when I was your hero

Wrap my soul in cellophane
Drown my secrets in the rain
Jonny comes marchin' home again
Hey Tim Soldier, the war ain't over
Bang bang bang beat the drums of war
Don't know the name of the Tin Soldier

Times up, comin' down
Silver stars watch 'em tumbling down
We all fall down

Cold war runnin' through my veins
Don't know the name don't know the face of the tin soldier
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Come hide inside, come in under
Do you hear the guns, do you hear the drums

Wrap my sould in cellophane
Purple heart hangin' on a chain
Only the battleground has changed
Hey tin soldier, the war ain't over
Johnny comes marchin' home again
Don't know the name don't know the face of the tin soldier

Solo: Reb Beach

6.Ever Wonder
Winger

Ever wonder who you are
It's been a mystery from the start
Your soul's a changing change of heart
But now your soul's just torn apart

Face to face with your judas
You can never take it back

Ever wonder who your are
Ever let it get too far
And do you...
Ever crash when you free-fall
Ever stop to feel it all

And do you wonder...

Ever sleep the day away
Life ain't the same, it's turned to grey
Kill what you love, like it's a game
And watch your world go up in flames

Face to fafe with your brutus
you can't erase the past

Ever wonder who your are
Ever let it get too far
And do you...
Ever crash when you free-fall
When will you stop to see it all
And do you...
Ever walk beyond these walls
Can you ever mend this great divide

Back to back with you honor
Will you turn and face the truth

Ever wonder who your are
Ever let it get too far
And do you...
Ever crash when you free-fall
Ever stop to feel it all

Ever wonder who your are
Ever let it get too far
And will you...
Ever walk beyond these walls
Will you stop to see it all

And do you wonder...
What do you wonder...

Solo: Reb Beach

7. So Long China
Winger, Beach, Roth, Lewis

Now there's nothing left for me to say
There's no way to climb behind your hidden wall
You're untouchable

It wasn't me who made you hurt this way
Somebody made your heart unreachable
You can't let it go

I could have really loved you
Never wanted to say

So long China
Shanghai flower
So long China
Hope you find what you're looking for,,

Ya know I'll miss the tiger in your eyes
The way you saw the world was sad and beautiful
Now I see it all

So many times I tried to read your mind
Free the secret pain that's holding you prisoner
Seemed impossible

I know I won't forget you
Never wanted to say

So long China
Shanghai flower
So long China
I guess I wanted something more

I thought you might want to save it
Before these silver engines touch the sky,,,fly high
I can hardy believe it
I'm leaving and this really is goodbye,,,you know I tried

I could have really loved you
Never wanted to say

So long China
Shanghai flower
So long China
I'm gone forever
So long China
Hope you find what you're looking for

8.Storm In Me
Winger, Beach, Roth

Mayday, ragin' storm inside of me
Make way, tidal wave of crazy

I never meant to break your dream
I never meant to make your scram

Storm in me, gonna blow this down
Fire in me, gonna burn it to the ground
Beast in me, gonna wipe this out
Devil in me, gonna load another round

Black out, blue flood affliction
Break down, ricochet addiction

I never meant you cry
You are my deepest love inside

Storm in me, gonna blow this down
Fire in me, gonna burn it to the ground
Beast in me, gonna wipe this out
Devil in me, gonna load another round

I can't control the reason why

I wish I never feel this way
Rewind to wash it all away

Storm in me, gonna blow this down
Fire in me, gonna burn it to the ground
Beast in me, gonna wipe this out
Devil in me, gonna load another round

Solo: John Roth

9.Be Who You Are Now
Winger, Roth, Hudson

Look up and there you are
Dancing alone in the stars
Getting too close but so far away now

Look what you've almost missed
A transcendental kiss
The universal bliss inside you

Only you can make it better
Only you know how
You're beautiful, so be who you are now

So when are you coming down
From your castle made of clouds
Your karma will come back around and around

Only you can make it better
Only you know how
You're beautiful, so be who you are now

Lucid and you're caught in a dream
Trying to scream

Let them in, let them out
Then let them go
It's and evolution revolution
Now you know

The magic will begin
As without, whitin
'Cause everything is always changing

Solo: John Roth

10.Another Beautiful Day
Winger, Beach, Goodwin

Streets on fire, bullets flyin
Hearts are crying, dreams are dying
Rage is flowing, minds are blowing
Skateboard rolling down a road to nowhere

It's all a meltdown
I see a fight where ever I go

Where to now
Is this a battle zone or my home town
Born in the crossfire and there's no way out
Another beautiful day
Welcome to the neighborhood

Guns on main street, dogs and police
Shaky concrete, all around me
I'm in over my head, sky turning red
Angry eyes break into enemy fire

It's all a bad dream
Can't make it right where ever I go

Where to now
Is this a battle zone or my home town
Born in the crossfire and there's no way out
Another beautiful day
Welcome to the neighborhood

Day and night
I'm only living to survive the fight
This is a never ending war

And it's all I've ever known
Hell-fire following like a shadow of stone

Where to now
Is this a battle zone or my home town
Born in the crossfire and there's no way out
Another beautiful day
Welcome to the neighborhood

Day and night
I fight the enemies who live inside
this is a never ending war, I can't hide
Another beautiful day
Welcome to the neighborhood

Solo: John Roth

11.Out Of This World
Winger, Beach, Winger

I'm just a man
Understand
Searching for the promised land
They're selling hope
Cheap as dope
But no one's getting high

The streets are cold
Paved in gold
Where they stole it no one knows
They pay us back
Consumer crack but no one's getting by

Out of this world
Come take me
Out of this world
Into you

Life for sale
never exhale
Never fear
And never fail
The nine to five
Metastasized
These are killing times

And if love
is like a drug
An overdose might do us good
'Cause they got hate
In figure eights
And no one's feeling fine

Out of this world
Come take me
Out of this world
Into you
I'll leave it all tonight
Come take me
Out of this world

Your eyes like a satelite
On the darkest night

Out of this world
Come take me
Out of this world
Into you
I'll leave it all tonight
I'll meet you
Out of this world
We'll leave it all behind
Come take me
Out of this world
