DETROIT ROCK CITY
- Paul Stanley, Bob Ezrin
Congress's performance. In Detroit, a Pontiac, Michigan youth was reported
dead at the scene of a head-on collision on Grand Avenue this morning. The
youth was reportedly driving on the wrong side of the boulevard when he
struck a delivery truck and was catapulted through the windshield of his
car. The driver of the truck is reported to be uninjured. The identities
of both men are being withheld by local police.
County legislatives today are expected to rally to the aid of striking
longshoremen in hopes of ending the 9 month deadlock ..."
"..roll all night and party every day
I wanna rock and roll all night and party every day"
I feel uptight on a Saturday night
Nine o' clock, the radio's the only light
I hear my song and it pulls me through
Comes on strong, tells me what I got to do
I got to
Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat
You gotta lose your mind in Detroit Rock City
Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat
Getting late
I just can't wait
Ten o'clock and I know I gotta hit the road
First I drink, then I smoke
Start up the car, and I try to make the midnight show
Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat
Movin' fast, doin' 95
Hit top speed but I'm still movin' much too slow
I feel so good, I'm so alive
I hear my song playin' on the radio
It goes
Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat
Twelve o'clock, I gotta rock
There's a truck ahead, lights starin' at my eyes
Oh my God, no time to turn
I got to laugh 'cause I know I'm gonna die
Why
Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get up
Everybody's gonna leave their seat
KING OF THE NIGHT TIME WORLD
- Ken Fowley, Michael Anthony, Paul Stanley, Bob Ezrin
Far from the city and the midnight fun
It's so bad, goin' to school
So far from me and the dirty things that we do
I'm the king of the night time world
And you're my headlight queen
I'm the king of the night time world
Come live your secret dream
It's so fine, lovin' with ease
Far from the house and the family fights
It's so fine, bein' with you
Bein' with me makes everything alright
I'm the king of the night time world
And you're my headlight queen
I'm the king of the night time world
Come live your secret dream, alright
It's so sad, you're not content
Far from the music and the neon glow
Ain't you glad we got the time
Far from our folks, they'll never ever know
I'm the king of the night time world
And you're my headlight queen
I'm the king of the night time world
Come live your secret dream
I'm the king, I'm the king, I'm the king, I'm the king
I'm the king, I'm the king, I'm the king, I'm the king
I'm the king of the night time world
And you're my headlight queen
I'm the king of the night time world
Come live your secret dream
I'm the king of the night time world
And you're my headlight queen
I'm the king of the night time world
Come live your secret dream
I'm the king of the night time world
And you're my headlight queen
I'm the king of the night time world
Come live your secret dream
I'm the king of the night time world
GOD OF THUNDER
- Paul Stanley
You've got something I need
Daughter of Aphrodite
Hear my words and take heed
I was born on Olympus
To my father a son
I was raised by the demons
Trained to reign as the one
God of thunder and rock and roll
The spell you're under
Will slowly rob you of your virgin soul
I'm the lord of the wastelands
A modern day man of steel
I gather darkness to please me
And I command you to kneel
Before the
God of thunder and rock and roll
The spell you're under
Will slowly rob you of your virgin soul
I am the lord of the wastelands
A modern day man of steel
I gather darkness to please me
And I command thee to kneel
Before the
God of thunder and rock and roll
The spell you're under
Will slowly rob you of your virgin soul
GREAT EXPECTATIONS
- Gene Simmons, Bob Ezrin
And then you stand and clutch your breast
Our music drives you wild along with the rest
You watch me singing this song
You see what my mouth can do
And you wish you were the one I was doing it to
And you watch me playin' guitar
And you feel what my fingers can do
And you wish you were the one I was doing it to
Well, listen
You've got great expectations
You've got great expectations
You're dying to be seen
And you wave and call my name
But in the day it seems that I'm a million miles away
You watch me beatin' my drum
And you know what my hands can do
And you wish you were the one I was doing it to
Well, listen
You've got great expectations
You've got great expectations
You've got great expectations
Then you feels these eyes from the stage
And you see me staring at you
And you hear between the lines, my voice is calling to you
Well, listen
You've got great expectations
You've got great expectations
You've got great expectations, do you want to play the role
You've got great expectations, you'd even sell me your soul
You've got great expectations
You've got great expectations
You've got great expectations, do you want to play the role
You've got great expectations, you'd even sell me your soul
You've got great expectations, as long as you can play the role
You've got great expectations
FLAMING YOUTH
- Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Bob Ezrin
My parents think I'm crazy and they hate the things I do
I'm stupid and I'm lazy, man, if they only knew
How flaming youth will set the world on fire
Flaming youth, our flag is flying higher and higher and higher
My uniform is leather, and my power is my age
I'm gettin' it together to break out of my cage
'Cause flaming youth will set the world on fire
Flaming youth will set the world on fire
Flaming youth, our flag is flying higher and higher and higher
Flaming youth will set the world on fire
Flaming youth will set the world on fire
Flaming youth will set the world on fire
Flaming youth will set the world on fire
Flaming youth will set the world on fire
Flaming youth, our flag is flying higher and higher
And higher and higher and higher and higher and higher

SHOUT IT OUT LOUD
- Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Bob Ezrin
Do you think you're gonna find it (think you're gonna find it)

BETH
- Peter Criss, Stan Penridge, Bob Ezrin
But I can't come home right now
Me and the boys are playin'
And we just can't find the sound
Just a few more hours
And I'll be right home to you
I think I hear them callin'
Oh, Beth what can I do
Beth what can I do
You say you feel so empty
That our house just ain't a home
And I'm always somewhere else
And you're always there alone
Just a few more hours
And I'll be right home to you
I think I hear them callin'
Oh, Beth what can I do
Beth what can I do
Beth, I know you're lonely
And I hope you'll be alright
'Cause me and the boys will be playin'
All night
DO YOU LOVE ME
- Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Bob Ezrin
You like the way the wheels roll
You like my seven inch leather heels
And goin' to all of the shows, but
Do you love me, do you love me
Do you love me, really love me
You like the credit cards and private planes
Money can really take you far
You like the hotels and fancy clothes
And the sound of electric guitars, but
Do you love me, do you love me
Do you love me, I mean like do you
Really love me
You really like rock 'n' roll
All of the fame and the masquerade
You like the concerts and studios
And all the money, honey, that I make, but
Do you love me, do you love me
Do you love me, really love me
Your backstage pass and black sunglasses
Make you look just like a queen
Even the fans, they know your face
From all of the magazines, but
Do you love me (do you love me)
Do you love me (do you love me)
Do you love me (do you love me)
Really love me (really love me)
I wanna know
Do you love me (do you love me)
Do you love me (do you love me)
Do you love me (do you love me)
I mean like do you
Really love me (really love me)
I wanna know
Do you love me (do you love me)
Do you love me (do you love me)
Do you love me (do you love me)
I mean like do you
Really love me (really love me)
I want you to (do you love me, do you love me)
I need you to (do you love me, do you love me)
And you know I'm so tired of everybody sayin' it
And you know, (do you love me, do you love me)
I just gotta know if you really really really, really love me
(do you love me, do you love me)
So come on, do you love me (do you love me)
I need you to
Do you love me (do you love me) I want you to
Do you love me (do you love me) I need you
Really love me (do you love me)
I wanna know
Do you love me (do you love me) do you, do you
Do you love me (do you love me)
I just got to have some love (do you love me, do you love me)
I just got to have some love (do you love me)
I just got to have some love, love, love, love, love
