(Floyd/Edge)
Well there's a little juke joint on the outside of town
Where the cats pick 'em up and lay 'em down
You get your gal, I'll get mine
And we'll get together and we'll have a good time.

We'll dance a little bit to the bop, to the bop
Dance a little bit to the bop
Well dance a little bit to the bop
Well now dance to the rock 'n' roll.

Yeah now, dance, dance, dance
Well, dance, dance, dance
Yeah now, dance, dance, dance
Well, dance, dance, dance
Well now dance, well dance to the rock 'n' roll. (Now got it, git it)

Well the cats come rockin' in two by two
Some come single like me and you
Dancin' to the bop is their delight
Well when thet get right, they'll dance all night.

They'll dance a little bit to the bop, to the bop
Dance a little bit to the bop
Dance a little bit to the bop
Well now dance to the rock 'n' roll.

Yeah now, dance, dance, dance

(Blackmore/Turner)
Rough and ready rider
in a supersonic sound machine
Rock and Roll survivor
Chrome pipes between your knees
Running all the red lites
Your gonna make a dead stop
But you just can't see the signs
Oh - you'll never win the race
But you can't give up the chase

Death alley driver
Living at high speed
Death alley driver...Yeah
Death alley driver...who knows what you need
Death alley driver...

One hundred twenty five smokin' on the turns
Always on the hit and run
But you never learn...
Running from the man... and you're running
from yourself
Another dirty angel heading straight to hell
Oh - you'll never win the race
But you won't give up the chase
Death alley driver...
Live in overdrive...Death alley driver...yeah
Death alley driver...ride to stay alive
Death alley driver...
let's go

Red lights in the mirror
Danger on the band
Got to take a detour cause a road block's up ahead
He takes you on the corner with a wave of his hand
Death is in the back seat of a big old black sedan
Oh - you'll never win the race...
As you turn and see his face...
Death alley driver...
Movin' for the kill
Death alley driver...yeah
Death alley driver...
Time is standing still...
Death alley driver...
Always on the run cause you're a...
Death alley driver
Love the way it feels
Death alley driver...yeah
Death alley driver
Hell on wheels...
Death alley driver... ooh -
song list next song previous song Rainbow: Bent Out Of Shape Desperate Heart
(Blackmore/Turner)
Yesterday you were here by my side
Nothing to prove and nothing left to hide
You promised me there would be no goodbye
But now I find another set of lies
Babe you must be crazy
How could you be so blind
Why would you deceive me
Now you're saying that you're leaving me behind
So strong I'm not gonna run away
Want you to know that I'm gonna break through
How long can I go on this way
There's nothing I can do

Desperate heart think you better hold out
Torn apart I was left to bleed
Don't start feeling you were sold out
Now you better face reality
Did my best did the best that I could
It's all been wasted just misunderstood
You keep on talking
Your words are sounding so smoothe
Why don't you say it
You just want to cut me loose
Oh don't say that you love me
Don't wont to hear that you tried
Oh don't tell me that you need me
Don't want to hear none of your alibis
So strong I'm not gonna run away
Want you to know that I'm gonna break through
How long can I go on this way
There's nothing I can do

Desperate heart think you better hold out
Torn apart I was left to bleed
Don't start feeling you were sold out
Now you better face reality

So strong I'm not gonna run away
Want you to know that I'm gonna break through
How long can I go on this way
Tell me what can I do
Nothing I can do

Desperate heart think you better hold out
Torn apart I was left to bleed
Don't start feeling you were sold out
Now you better face reality
(Twice)

song list next song previous song Rainbow: Live In Germany 1976 / Live In Europe Rainbow: Rising Do You Close Your Eyes
(Blackmore/Dio)
Oh na na na na
Mystery in me is something I can't see
But I see you very well
You slippy, cool, nobody's fool
But there's something inside I can't tell

I know a poor man, a rich man
I know I can talk to a king
But nobody here is gonna tell me
I can't find out one thing

I see your glow around you
Open your arms 'cause
I'm walking to you, come straight or through
Maybe I'm wrong but
I know it won't take long to see
Do you close your eyes
Do you close your eyes
Do you close your eyes when you making love, yeah, yeah
Making sweet love to me, yeah

The logical friend said that
I know in the end
The things that make me smile
To right from the start, I take the image of your heart
and know it all the while

I know a rich man, a poor man
I know I can talk to a king, yeah
So nobody here is gonna make me believe
I can't find out one thing

I see your glow around you
Open your arms 'cause I'm coming, running, straight or through
I could be wrong but I know it won't take long to see
Do you close your eyes
Do you close your eyes
Do you close your eyes when you making love, yeah

Do you close your eyes
Do you close your eyes, I've gotta know
Do you close your eyes when you making love
song list next song previous song Rainbow: Family Album Dio: Holy Diver Don't Talk To Strangers
(Dio)
Don't talk to strangers
Cause they're only there to do you harm
Don't write in starlight
Cause the words may come out real
Don't hide in doorways
You may find the key that opens up your soul
Don't go to Heaven cause it's really only Hell
Don't smell the flowers
They're an evil drug to make you loose your mind
Don't dream of women cause they only bring you down

Hey you you know me you've touched I'm real
I'm forever the one that lets you look and see and
Feel me I'm danger - I'm the stranger

I I'm darkness I'm anger I'm pain
I am master
The evil song you sing inside your brain
Make you inside

Don't dance in darkness
You may stumble and you're sure to fall
Don't write in starlight
Cause the words may come out real

Don't talk to strangers
Cause they're only there to make you sad
Don't dream of women
Cause they'll only bring you down

song list next song previous song Ritchie Blackmore: Take It! Sessions 63/68 Down In The Flood
(Dylan)
Crash on the levee, mama,
Water's gonna overflow,
Swamp's gonna rise,
No boat's gonna row.
Now, you can train on down
To Williams Point,
You can bust your feet,
You can rock this joint.
But oh mama, ain't you gonna miss your best friend now?
You're gonna have to find yourself
Another best friend, somehow.

Now, don't you try an' move me,
You're just gonna lose.
There's a crash on the levee
And, mama, you've been refused.
Well, it's sugar for sugar
And salt for salt,
If you go down in the flood,
It's gonna be your own fault.
Oh mama, ain't you gonna miss your best friend now?
You're gonna have to find yourself
Another best friend, somehow.

Well, that high tide's risin',
Mama, don't you let me down.
Pack up your suitcase,
Mama, don't you make a sound.
Now, it's king for king,
Queen for queen,
It's gonna be the meanest flood
That anybody's seen.
Oh mama, ain't you gonna miss your best friend now?
Yes, you're gonna have to find yourself
Another best friend, somehow.
song list Ritchie Blackmore: Letter E previous song Rainbow: Bent Out Of Shape Drinking With The Devil
(Blackmore/Turner)
I never felt like this before
I think I'm gonna explode
Had so much I couldn't take no more
I'm heading for an overload
Oh no here I go
I can see the end
Looked around and I heard the sound
Of have one more my friend
Drinking with the devil
Gonna raise some hell
I'm just a rock and roll rebel
Got my soul to sell

Out all night till the sun comes up
You know I'm never gonna learn
Raise my glass and fill my cup
I'm playing with fire
And I'm gonna get burned
Like before he walked through the door
A glass was in his hand
Sat me down and poured me one more
And said I'm at you command
And I was drinking with the devil
Gonna raise some hell
I'm just a rock and roll rebel
Got my world to sell

Out all night till the sun comes up
You know I'm never gonna learn
Raise my glass and fill my cup
I'm playing with fire
And I'm gonna get burned
Like before he walked through the door
A glass was in his hand
Sat me down and poured me one more
And said I'm at your command yes I am

Drinking with the devil
Gonna raise some hell
I'm just a rock and roll rebel
Got my soul to sell
Drinking with the devil
You know I had my fill
Drinking with the devil
And he sticks me with the bill
