HUGHES TURNER PROJECT LYRICS

1. Devil's Road


[Hughes/Turner/Marsh]

I got my posi-traction
I'm hell on wheels
I'm made of iron blood and steel
I'm always set for action
I'm shifting gears
I'm running faster than my fears

I'm leaving everything behind me
I'm on a race with destiny
I'm going where my dreams can find me
Somewhere I can be free

I can see heaven, it's a long way to go
And I'm riding the devil's road
I can hear angels singing lifting my soul
And I'm riding the devil's road

I got my higher power
He come to me on the seventh hour
Never burn my ivory tower
Now I have been set free


2. You Can't Stop Rock And Roll


[Hughes/Turner/Marsh]

Kicked to the gutter, pushed to the side
Feels like were hanging by the fringe
Burned down and battered
Fight to stay alive
Out in the cold and left for dead

Keep on believing
We got the faith
So tired of being pushed around
We'll love forever
Make no mistake
Ain't nobody gonna take us down

We want the world to know
We're right where we belong
No matter where we go
Together standing strong

You can't stop rock n' roll
You can't stop rock n' roll
You can't stop rock n' roll
You can't stop rock n' roll

Blood in the water
No turning back
We put ourselves out on the line
You know we oughtta
Get back on the track
You know we gotta let it shine


3. Death Alley Driver


[Blackmore/Turner]

Rough and ready rider
In a super sonic sound machine
Rock and roll survivor
Chrome pipes between your knees
Running all the red lites
Riding the white lines
You're 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
Livin' 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...
Ride to stay alive... Death Alley Driver.. yeah
Death Alley Driver... ride to stay alive
Death Alley Driver...

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...
It's suicide
Death Alley Driver... yeah
Death Alley Driver...
Ride to stay alive
Death Alley Driver...
Always on the run cause you're a ...
Love the way it feels...
Death Alley Driver... yeah
Death Alley Driver
Hell on wheels...
Death Alley Driver... ooh


4. I Surrender


[Ballard]

I surrender to your heart babe
Do anything that you want me to do
Please be tender I'm in your hands girl
This is a feeling I never knew
You know I tried to make it on my own
That's not the way it was meant to be
Spend my time waiting by the phone
Oh darling come back to me

I surrender, I surrender
I'm giving up the role of pretender
Oh be tender, girl be tender
Can't you feel the love that I send you
I surrender

I remember, feels like a lifetime
Can't believe it's just a matter of days
Since you left me I'm near to heartbreak
I want you so bad don't turn away
What does it take to stay by my side
You know I'll do what you want me to
Don't take away this feeling inside
I'm still in love with you

I surrender, I surrender
Darling now won't you be tender
I remember, I remember
Can't you feel the love that I send you
I surrender

I surrender, I surrender
Darling now won't you be tender
Surrender, oh surrender
Can't you feel the love that I send you
I surrender


5. Stormbringer


[Blackmore/Coverdale]

Comin' out of nowhere
Drivin' like rain
Stormbringer dance
On the thunder again
Dark clouds gathering
Breaking the day
No point running
'Cause it's coming your way

Ride the rainbow
Crack the sky
Stormbringer coming
Time to die
Got to keep running
Stormbringer coming
He's got nothing you need
He's gonna make you bleed

Rainbow shaker
On a stallion twister
Bareback rider
On the eye of the sky
Stormbringer coming down
Meaning to stay
Thunder and lightning
Heading your way

Ride the rainbow
Crack the sky
Stormbringer coming
Time to die
Got to keep running
Stormbringer coming
He's got nothing you need
He's gonna make you bleed

Coming out of nowhere
Drivin' like a-rain
Stormbringer dance
On the thunder again
Dark clouds gathering
Breaking the day
No point running
'Cause it's coming your way

It's the rainbow shaker
On a stallion twister
Ride the storm


6. Dark Days


[Turner/Kajiyama]

Living on the wrong side of a gun
Out on the street nowhere to run
Situation we can't win
Desperation closing in
Living on the wrong side of a gun

Say a prayer tonight - That the children will be free
Send the world a light - Maybe someday we'll see

Right now it's just you and me
Oh you and me
Right now it's just you and me
And these dark days
Oh dark days

It's suicide here everyday
Out on the streets there's hell to pay
Everything is gettig hazy
Everybody is going crazy
It's suicide here everyday
Say a prayer tonight - That we shall be released
Send the world a light - Maybe someday we will see

Right now it's just you and me
And these dark days
Dark days

Say a prayer tonight - That the children will be free
Send the world a light - Maybe someday we'll see
Right now it's just you and me
Oh you and me
Right now it's just you and me
And these dark days


7. Mistreated


[Blackmore/Coverdale]

I've been mistreated, I've been abused
I've been struck downhearted, baby, I've been confused
'Cause I know, yes, I know I've been mistreated.
Since my baby left me I've been losing my mind

I've been lonely, I've been cold
I've been looking for a woman to have and hold
'Cause I know, yes, I know I've been mistreated.
Since my baby left me I've been losing,
I've been losing my mind

I've been mistreated, I've been abused.
I've been struck downhearted, baby, I've been confused
'Cause I know, yes, I know I've been mistreated, ooh o-o-oh.
Since my baby left me I've been losing,
I've been losing my mind,
Oh oh oh, [Singing: C'mon Tokyo!]
Baby, woman - I said baby, baby
I've been losing my mind


8. No Stranger To Love


[Iommi/Hughes]

Cold is the night
Lonely till dawn
Cry for the light
For my love that won't come
Said that you'd never
Leave me alone

I gave you my heart
You cried for my soul
An angel won't come
This devil won't go
Something is wrong
But I just can't get away

Living on the streets, I'm no stranger to love
Why can't you see I'm no stranger to love
Living on the streets, I'm no stranger to love
I'm a stranger in your arms
Yes, I'm a stranger in your arms
Maybe it's right
But I just don't understand
The hurt that I feel
For my love second hand
I know I should leave
But I just can't go away

Living on the streets, I'm no stranger to love
Why can't you see I'm no stranger to love
Living on the street, I'm no stranger to love
I'm a stranger in your arms
I'm a stranger in your arms

Living on the street, I'm no stranger to love
Why can't you see I'm no stranger to love

I'm a stranger in your heart


9. Can't Stop The Flood


[Hughes/Marsh]

(This is rock baby, return to the heaviest of heavy)

Well my mind is free again
And my soul is on the mend
Won't somebody hear my plea?
There is a storm inside of me

Turn back the pages
There lies my fate
My intuition I hesitate
The storm it rages
Sky turnin' black
Hold back the river
No turnin' back

I got my freak flag flyin' again
I can feel the pressure begin
Can you see I'm misunderstood?
Because you can't stop the flood

Live on the outside
Walk through the pain
You know I can't hide
From where I came
Ain't nobody gonna understand
You're gonna find me
In the promised land

I got my freak flag flyin' again
I can feel the pressure begin
Can you see I'm misunderstood?
Because you can't stop the flood


10. Better Man


[Hughes]

When the sky was turnin' red
When the mountains crumble and fall
And I was outta my head
That's when I heard you call

I can feel a change in the weather
I put my feet on the ground
I had to pull myself together
I'm gonna tell you what I found

Better man - I know
I'm a better man
Better than before
Won't you let me go
And let the river flow

When the sea covered the land
And you did not believe in fate
Came to me and gave me your hand
Only a fool would hesitate

Now you can call me brother
Cuz I've been away too long
There's one way or another
Cuz I never felt so strong

Better man - I know
I'm a better man
Better than before
Won't you let me go
And let the river flow

So walk with me my friend
Cuz I want you to see
And I cannot pretend
Cuz I just gotta be...

I can feel a change in the weather
I'm gonna tell you what I found
[Chorus]

(Hey Joe)
Better man


11. Ride The Storm


[Hughes/Turner/Marsh]

(September 11th, the Twin Towers came down, and I thought: it happened. So when I was going to write a song with Glenn for the HTP, I said we must write at least one song for this problem. We are looking for world peace but until we can find peace: we must ride the storm!)

A world of trouble, betrayal and deceit
Hiding in the shadows, there's terror in the streets
It came without warning, no one heard the call
Dark clouds are falling, the black rain will fall

Ride, ride the storm
Ride, ride the storm

The distant fire, burning on the shore
Oh the cities crumble, I hear the gods of war

Screaming for vengeance, there's no hope in sight
Lighting and thunder, striking the night

Ride, ride the storm
Ride, ride the storm

I know, burn in the conscience of every man
You don't have to push me, cuz I'll make a stand
Won't you let me breathe?
Let me breathe
When I go, I give back the freedom to every child

Give me the wisdom, the sadness, the sorrow
But leave me tomorrow
I feel the sunshine on me

Ride, ride the storm
Ride, ride the storm


12. King of Dreams


[Blackmore/Glover/Turner]

(D'you remember this song? Let me see your hands. I wanna hear some noise!)

It doesn't matter if I'm right or wrong
It really doesn't mean a thing
It doesn't matter if you like my song
Just as long as you can hear me sing
'Cause I'm the thorn in every little girl's rose
You know I cut but never bleed
A shadow in the night, pure delight
I can satisfy your every need

I'm a real smooth dancer, I'm fantasy man
Master of illusion, magic touch in my hand
All the stages are empty when I steal the scenes
A beggar of love, second hand hero...King of Dreams

It doesn't matter what you got
It doesn't matter what you lose
It doesn't matter if you like it or not
Cuz baby I'm gonna change your attitude
All around me there is mystery and wonder
Can't you see it in my eyes
Said I'll crack the sky, make you feel the thunder
You'll never see through my disguise

I'm a real smooth dancer, I'm fantasy man
Master of illusion, with my sleight of hand
All the stages are empty when I steal the scenes
A beggar for love, second hand hero... King of Dreams

All around, all around
Emotional squeeze through again and again
I just have to please you, now your mind is on the bend
Can't you feel the power, surrender to my arms
Beyond the witching hour we're travelling on and on

I'm a real smooth dancer, I'm fantasy man
Master of illusion, sleight of hand
The stages are empty when I steal the scenes
A beggar of love, second hand hero... King of Dreams

I'm a real smooth dancer, fantasy man
Master of illusion, sleight of hand
The stages are empty when I steal the scenes
A beggar for love... King of Dreams


13. Street of Dreams


[Blackmore/Turner]

(Please help me sing. It's called Street: of Dreams)

I heard the sound of voices in the night,
Spell bound there was someone calling,
I looked around no on was on sight
Pulled down I just kept on falling
I've seen this place before
You were standing by my side
I've seen your face before tonight
Maybe I just see what I want to be
I know it's a mystery
Do you remember me on a street of dreams,
Running through my memory
On the street of dreams

There you stood a distant memory
So good like we never parted
Said to myself I knew you'd set me free
And here we are right back where we started
Something's come over me
And I don't know what to feel
Maybe this fantasy is real
Maybe I just see what I want to be
Now it's still a mystery

Do you remember me [Singing!] on a street of dreams,
Running through my memory
On the street of dreams
You are on every face I see
On the street of dreams

Something's come over me
And I don't know what to feel
Maybe this fantasy is real
Maybe I just see what I want to be
Now it's still a mystery

Do you remember me on a street of dreams,
Running through my memory
On the street of dreams
You are on every face I see
On the street of dreams

You can be who you want to be oh yeh
Do you know just who you'll see do ya
Will we ever meet again my friend
I can hear you calling me
On the street of dreams
Do you remember me?


14. Spotlight Kid


[Blackmore/Glover]

You don't know what's happening, you want to go home
But there's nowhere to hide
The first time on stage, your first time alone
The crowd's going wild
And you feel so alive
You could stand up and take this all night
They love you but you're in love with the spotlight
You're the spotlight kid
You're in love with the spotlight
You're the spotlight kid

Jokers and women they hang 'round your door
They're all part of the scene
Just like a junkie you've got to have more
It's a pleasure machine
And you fly every night
But the dressing room mirror don't lie
They love you but you're in love with the spotlight
You're the spotlight kid
You're in love with the spotlight
You're the spotlight kid
(Tokyo!)

Your audience died, faded away
Leaving you on stage
It's been so many years since that first matinee
Feels like an age
Encore one more time
For the ghosts of the past in your mind
They love you but you're in love with the spotlight
You're the spotlight kid
You're in love with the spotlight
You're living in a dream
You're in love with the spotlight
You're in love with the spotlight
(Tokyo!)
