        CHILD OF THE CITY
              Words and music by Gil Moore, Mike Levine, and Mladen

              Pretty picture in the mirror
              Just an angel from the stars above
              Causing such a sensation
              Will she score on the streets of love

              She's a movie queen in the making
              A cinderella in waiting
              Late in the  night

              CHORUS:
              She's a child of the city
              Dressed to thrill
              She's got all  the right moves
              Child of the city, say you will

              Temptation's gonna find ya
              Ridin' high on a silver spoon
              Street walkig  on the wild side
              Bad boys howlin' at the moon

              They're sayin' "Are you old enough
              Are you willing"
              As they bare their fangs for the killing
              Late in the night

              CHORUS

              Little angel in a thin disguise
              That devil woman can surely hypnotize

              CHORUS
 

             TROUBLEMAKER
              Words and  music by Gil Moore, Mike Levine, and Mladen

              From the time that I was born
              The walls of trouble I adorned
              Mama tried to teach me well
              But I was busy raisin' hell
              I've got a taste for fighting
              Hands as fast as lightning
              Can't you see the  writing on the walls

              CHORUS:
              Troublemaker
              Always last in line
              Troublemaker, livin' on  borrowed time
              I don't wait for Lady Luck, I take her
              Troublemaker

              They call me bad but I'm number one
              Watch out the good die young
              Spent  my life runnin' wild
              Call me the devil's child
              Don't play with me cause I'm fire
              A loaded gun for hire
              My trigger finger's itching for the kill

              CHORUS

              From the time that I was born
              It's like a scar that I have worn
              My mama  tried to teach me well
              I was much too busy raisin' hell
              Got a taste for  fighting
              Hands as fast as lightning
              Can't you see the writing on the wall

              CHORUS
 

             IT'S OVER
              Words and music by Gil Moore, Mike Levine, and Mladen

              Like an arrow through the heart
              She was the one that got away
              Seemed like yesterday that
              You couldn't tear us apart
              But then we  never realized Love was a compromise

              Too many sleepless nights
              Too many jealous fights
              It hurt the night I  told her
              Oh baby, it's all over

              CHORUS:
              It's over, this can't go on,
              All over, cause the feeling's  gone
              Wonder if I'll survive alone again
              Sometimes I just want to hold  her
              But it's over

              Young and foolish of heart
              We were two gypsies on the run
              Into the setting sun
              Shattered pictures tell the tale,
              Their crying love is a tragedy
              Of tears and broken dreams
              Just like a sad old song
              Who knows  where we went wrong
              I dread the day I told her
              Oh baby, it's over

              CHORUS
 

             EDGE OF  EXCESS
              Words and music by Gil Moore, Mike Levine, Mladen, and Phil X

              You say your vices, ain't so bad
              Don't need alibis, feels so  good
              To pump it up, don't need reasons why

              I know the chase is a thrill
              As the vultures move in for the  kill
              Somethin's got to give
              On the edge of excess

              The ace is high, Jokers wild
              Jack on the left and right
              You slip right through that looking glass
              Can you believe the sight

              Comin' down stone cold
              Somethin's gone right out of control
              Better watch your step

              CHORUS:
              On the edge of success
              Your twist of fate will arrive
              On the edge of excess
              You're wanted dead or alive

              Can you tell me now
              Can you handle it boy, I've got to know
              It seems like a long time
              You're got such a long way to go

              Such a mountain to climb, to get back
              But just, just, just one more...

              CHORUS
 

             TURN MY  BACK ON LOVE
              Words and music by Gil Moore, Mike Levine, and Mladen

              I've been your victim, I've been your fool
              You terrorize, you break the rules
              I've had enough of your games
              I can't take it  anymore
              Your pretty poison's gonna make me blind
              I've had it baby, I've made up my mind
              I'm tired of wasting my time
              And I told you before
              I'll say it once again

              CHORUS:
              I turn my back on love
              Don't fight about it
              Or beg for sympathy
              I turn my back on love
              I'm right about it
              Oh baby set me free
              Oh baby set me free

              I've been mistreated, I've been misused,
              I've paid the price, Yes I've  paid my dues
              You had me under your spell
              Like some voodoo child
              Your love potion got the best of me
              You left me nothin' but my dignity
              Ain't  nothin' you can say
              You got no alibis So I'll say it once again

              CHORUS
 

             RIDIN' HIGH AGAIN
              Words and music by Gil Moore, Mike Levine, and Phil X

              Baby there won't be a next time
              Ain't goin' back to  school
              Don't want no pity or mercy
              'Cause you know that I'm nobody's  fool
              No, don't ever look back
              When you're doin' alright

              CHORUS:
              Don't count me out, it's not over yet I'm ridin' high  again
              Don't count me out, 'cause you can bet
              I'm ridin' high again, I'm ridin' high again

              Now you say that you want love or money
              But you can't make your mind up on that
              So you cut me to shreds like a switchblade knife
              And now you think  I'm comin' back
              No don't ever look back
              When you're doin' alright

              CHORUS

              Said that you wanted a reprieve baby
              But you know that I don't  compromise
              Cause you sweet talked me
              With your forked tongue girl
              Now  it's high time you realized
              No don't ever look back
              When you're doin'  alright

              CHORUS
 

             BLACK  SHEEP
              Words and music by Gil Moore, Mike Levine, and Mladen

              Joey left when he was 16
              Black leather and blue jeans
              Too  young to take a stand
              Gang life was like quicksand

              Pack o' smokes and a bottle o'Jack was
              A good friend, that didn't talk  back much
              Young dude on a roll,
              Fast time take a toll

              Brother was a big shot lawyer
              Said the street life's gonna destroys  ya
              Sister was an uptown model
              Said your whole life's in that bottle

              CHORUS:
              Black sheep, Black sheep
              Bad boy of the family
              Two strikes  against him from the start
              Black sheep, Black sleep
              Livin' life out of the street
              Paid the price that left a scar

              Good times and a couple of laughs were
              Just what, Joe was after
              Love came ina girl named Jane
              She tried to keep him tame
              It's hard to walk the  line
              Born under a bad sign
              The city was an ice cold place
              Pain was written in Joey's face

              Lord knows that he was a hard one
              Switchblade and a .38 handgun
              Joey got two years in the State Penn
              He's coming back
              But he just don't know when

              CHORUS

              Doin' time got Joey thinkin'
              Started prayin' and he gave up drinkin'
              Parole's comin' in six months maybe
              Not knowin' Jane's having his  baby

              CHORUS

              Left jail straight as an arrow
              Gonna stay on the straight and narrow
              He loves Jane, and he loves little Joey
              Lord knows
 

             BOY'S NITE OUT
              Words and music by Gil Moore, Mike Levine, and Mladen

              Droolin' like a dog on a Saturday night
              I've got a fist full of money
              And I'm feelin'  alright
              Lookin' for trouble like young boys do
              I've got a bad reputation  and an attitude
              Ridin' with the devil
              We're tearin' up this town
              Hear my motor screaming
              Let's put the hammer down

              CHORUS:
              It's the boys night out
              Dogs begin to howl
              It's the boys  night out
              The dogs are howlin' tonight

              Walkin' on the wild side out of control
              We're a hard act to follow
              Let  the good times roll
              Better lock up your daughters
              When we knock on your  door
              You know we love 'em and leave 'em
              Begging for more
              Hidin' in the  alley
              Running from the law man's noose
              There's a full moon risin'
              The  boys are on the loose

              CHORUS
 

             SOMEWHERE TONIGHT
              Words  and music by Gil Moore, Mike Levine, and Mladen

              You may be runnin', tryin' to find your way
              Haunted  by the memories of yesterday
              You may be crying,
              You say your dreams have slipped away
              But hold on to the promise of another day
              And when the nights  are long
              Girl remember, wait for the stars to shine

              CHORUS:
              Somewhere tonight
              There's a lonely girl with a heart that's  achin'
              Somewhere tonight, she's hanging on
              Somewhere tonight
              She's  still holdin' on to her dreams and waiting
              Searching for love, somewhere  tonight

              Villians and heroes
              I've seen 'em rise, I've seem 'em fall
              A little bit of both of them, is inside us all
              Baby you can't deny it
              Your time is gonna come
              Send off your dreams in a bottle
              And pray to the rising sun
              And when the lights go down
              Just remember, wait for the stars to shine

              CHORUS

              Love has the power to make you so high
              Love has the power to tear you apart
              There comes a time when love brings
              A tear to your eye, so don't give it up
              Baby don't give it up

              CHORUS
 

             LOVE IN A  MINUTE
              Words and music by Gil Moore, Mike Levine, Phil X and Mladen

              I need a woman who can understand
              About a back door man
              It ain't no movie show that's on my mind
              So baby let's make plans

              Cause every night, the story's the same
              The stakes get high, but we just play games
              Start me up, girl it won't take much
              I can't get enough

              CHORUS:
              Get your love in a minute
              It won't take all night
              Get your love in a minute
              Baby turn out the lights
              Baby turn out the lights

              I ain't lookin' for no one night stand
              Don't wanna fuss or fight
              No need for talkin' at the midnight hour
              I know the time is right

              So come on girl, I'll show you how
              I need your touch, and I need it now
              I hurt's so bad, I know it must be love
              I can't get enough

              CHORUS
