(Young, Young, Johnson)

Getting ready to rock
Getting ready to roll
Gonna turn up the heat
Gonna fire up the coal
I gotta keep that motor turning
I gotta keep that engine clean
I gotta keep those tires burning
I've got the best you've ever seen

And I'm a heatseeker charging up the sky
And I'm a heatseeker, I don't need no life preserver
I don't need no one to hose me down
Don't hose me down

Getting ready to break
Getting ready to go
Get your shoes off and shake
Get your head down and blow
You gotta keep that woman firing
You gotta keep that serpent clean
You gotta make her sound the siren
You gotta hear that lady scream

Cause I'm a heatseeker burning up the town
And I'm a heatseeker, I don't need no life preserver
I don't need no one to hose me down
Don't hose me down

I wanna see you get up
And see the whites of your eyes
And I'm a heatseeker
I'm gonna measure you up
Gonna try you for size
And I'm a heatseeker
Gotta keep that motor turning
You gotta keep that engine clean
You gotta keep those tires burning
I've got the best you've ever seen

And I'm a heatseeker, and I don't need no life preserver
I don't need no one to hose me down
Heatseeker
And I'm a heatseeker
Heatseeker

Out on the street feel the heat


THAT'S THE WAY I WANNA ROCK N ROLL
Blow Up Your Video (1988)
LIVE (1992)
SINGLE: That's The Way/Kissin' Dynamite-Borrowed Time (1988)
(Young, Young, Johnson)

Party gonna happen at the union hall
Shaking to the rhythm till everybody fall
Making on my woman in my Chevrolet
Glory hallelujah gonna rock the night away

I'm gonna roll roll roll
I'm gonna roll roll roll
I'm gonna take this town, turn it around
I'm gonna roll roll roll

Now there's a blue suede bopping on a high heeled shoe
Balling round together like a wrecking crew
Oh be bopper lubba baby what I say
You gotta get a dose of rock and roll on each and every day

We're gonna roll roll roll
We're gonna roll roll roll
We're gonna take this town, turn it around
We're gonna roll roll roll

I'm gonna blow up my video, shut down my radio
Told boss man where to go, turned off my brain control
That's the way I want my rock and roll
That's the way I want my rock and roll

That's the way


MEANSTREAK
Blow Up Your Video (1988)
(Young, Young, Johnson)

I've been to the left, I've been to the right
I've found myself in Abudhabi, just a mirage in the night
Been to the high, I've been to the low
And I've been to lots of places that I didn't wanna go
But I ain't see nothing to get me off my ass
And laughed at all the jokers wanting make me walk on glass
I could walk 'fore I could crawl
And I was meaner than a bad dog with his back against the wall

Animal, animal
Cannibal, cannibal
See 'em fall, see 'em fall
I'm the guy that they call -

Meanstreak, I gotta meanstreak
Meanstreak, they call me meanstreak

I just don't know who I wanna be
The count of Monte Cristo or the sheik of Arabia
I've eaten rich and I've eaten free
I'm the perfect culture vulture in the face of poverty
And I ain't met no one who told me I got class
They say never feed the animal, the boys got too much flash
I'm a guy they just can't teach
And I always kick the castle that's been built up on the beach

Animal, animal
Cannibal, cannibal
See 'em fall, see 'em fall
I'm the guy that they call -

What's your name?

Meanstreak, I gotta meanstreak
Meanstreak, they call me meanstreak


GO ZONE
Blow Up Your Video (1988)
SINGLE: Heatseeker/Go Zone-Snake Eye (1988)
(Young, Young, Johnson)

Once I need relaxation, need to get some R and R
That's Rest and Recreation
Don't need no vacation, I don't have to go that far
I've got better things to do with my money
Don't need no private eye, forget the FBI
'Cause when the beaver sings, look out I'm closing in

CHORUS:
Go zone, ready to fly
In the go zone, standing up high
In the go zone, down on the block
In the go zone, ready to rock
Down down down in the go zone

Got to have my candy, got to have my sugar sweet
I wanna give you a treat
Giving you directions, you don't have to use your feet
We're on the same street baby
You've got to travel south, south of my hungry mouth
And there you'll find a friend until the bitter end

CHORUS

What are you gonna find down there?
There ain't no red light district

Get yourself a ticket to the -

CHORUS

In the go zone, leave me to die
In the go zone, standing up high
In the go zone, down on the block
Go zone, ready to rock
Down down down in the go zone


KISSIN DYNAMITE
Blow Up Your Video (1988)
SINGLE: That's The Way/Kissin' Dynamite-Borrowed Time (1988)
(Young, Young, Johnson)

Here she come, here she come
Eating up the thrill
Sugar cane, sugar cane
Dressin' up to kill
Like a fireball in the shadow
Like a storm that's gonna show
Like an overwhelmed volcano
Getting set to blow, set to blow
She got a nasty reputation
She got a healthy apetite
When she needs some detonation
She sets the fuse alight, the fuse alight

Feel like kissing dynamite

Let it rain, let it rain
Let me feel it pour
Let it slide, let it slide
Let me feel the core
Like the thunder in the mountains
Like the lightning in the sky
Like the eye of a tornado
She watch it all go by, all go by
Then she kills for recreation
And she plays her games at night
She want to work on her vocation
She set the world alight, set world alight

Feel like kissin' dynamite

Dynamite, here it come
Dynamite, gonna blow
Dynamite, just wanna warn you
Dynamite, the volcano
Dynamite, she got no imagination or (??????)
Dynamite, that's the way you want, that's the way he'll go
Dynamite

Feel like kissin dynamite


NICK OF TIME
Blow Up Your Video (1988)
(Young, Young, Johnson)

Wrong track, wrong line
First train to run on time
Bad blood, bad news
Long rope, got nothing to lose
Mad bull seeing red
Coming at me, happy when I'm dead
Jump a fence, get away
Ain't got a liking for the games he plays
What you gonna do?

Everybody trying to find you guilty
Make you wanna tow the line
Saved by, saved in the nick of time
I was saved in the nick of time

Slow plane, hard rain
Cold sweat and I feel the strain
Look down, no ground
Black sky, just the engine sound
Bail out, goodbye
Take my chances, I don't wanna die
Count ten, just pray
The nick of time can save me any day
What you gonna do?

Everybody love a hero, honey
Living on a danger line
Saved by, saved in the nick of time
I was saved in the nick of time

Lose sleep, get grief
Some day get no relief
Quick punch, closed eye
You didn't knew it and you wonder why
Lynch mob on your tail
Think they were searching for the holy grail
Leave town, get away
I didn't figure on them anyway
No I didn't today

Everybody trying to find you guilty
Make you wanna throw the line
Saved by, saved in the nick of time
I was saved in the nick of time


SOME SIN FOR NUTHIN'
Blow Up Your Video (1988)
(Young, Young, Johnston)

Heroes, hard to find
Don't make the news till they do time
Schemers turn the screw
They get the word and they drop on you
Lay down the law black of the night
Run up a score, the vice is right
Dealers looking round, wheel is turning round
Coming round on you

CHORUS:
Some sin for gold
Some sin for shame
Some sin for cash
Some sin for gain
Some sin for wine
Some sin for pain
But I ain't gonna be the
