Dark Desire 03:57
Nighttime comes, and darkness falls, From your window, you hear my call Or was that just the wind, blowin in the trees? You lock the door and hide the key I'm the headlight in your rearview mirror, footsteps behind you, drawing nearer I'm a diamondback's dry rattle, I'm standing outside in the shadows I'm quiet as the breeze, as sharp as a knife, Your twilight dream that's come to life And I'm watching you as you turn out the light, I slip into your room to kiss you goodnight The curtains blow and I'm inside, standing next to your bedside To play with fire you pay the price, And make yourself a sacrifice Darlin girl, the time has come, For me to go back to where I'm from Just one more kiss before I'm gone, You will forget all of this before the dawn Now I leave my hunger fed, You have followed where I led And you will now answer my call, when nighttime comes and darkness falls

Cherry-O 03:11
Oh, Cherry-O, decided that she had to go And leave faded dreams that always seemed to hurt her so She said goodbye to all the things that made her cry She took her daddy's car, and vanished out of sight And they will never know where she went that night Oh, whoah, Cherry-O Oh Cherry-O, that was a long time ago, Still I wonder why, Why did you think you had to go? And say goodbye to all the things that made you cry and steal your daddy's car, and vanish out of sight No one will ever know where you went that night Oh, whoah, Cherry-O Oh, Cherry-O, the world can feel awful cold Please can't you see, that I can't hold a memory When I see that September moon glow And when I hear that song on the radio I hope you found what you were looking for, I love you so Oh, whoah, Cherry-O
13.
The girl's got full lips with a cherry-red glow Sheer latex panty under a school uniform... Her guards are down, her thigh-highs are up Her momma begging no but she don't give a f__k The guys wear black jackets And roll up their jeans They've got steel-toed boots with a razor's sheen With grease in their hair and oil on their hands Gonna cruise to the show 'cause the chix dig the band... The Falcon's are coming The cars are in primer and not built for show Got big-block horsepower that's geared to go So keep your pink-slip Square, we race for green Got sleek tail-fins and big back seats The Falcons are coming One and one is two, one more makes it three.. Black out the windows 'cause there's too much to see The girl's gone crazy, your kid's gone wild She's in the back-lot Daddy, gonna be there awhile... 'Cause The Falcons are coming
