Motley Crue lyrics
Album: Shout at the Devil [1983]
| In The Beginning | |
|
Music: Geoff Workman; Lyrics: Nikki Sixx
In the beginning
Good always overpowered the evils
Of all man's sins...
But in time
The nations grew weak
And our cities fell to slums
While evil stood strong...
In the dusts of hell
Lurked the blackest of hates
For he whom they feared
Awaited them...
Now, many many lifetimes later
Lay destroyed, beaten, beaten down
Only the corpses of rebels
Ashes of dreams
And blood-stained streets.......
And it has been written
"Those who have the youth
Have the future"
So come now, children of the beast
Be strong
And Shout at the Devil

| Shout At The Devil | |

Music & Lyrics by Nikki Sixx
He's the wolf screaming lonely in the night
He's the blood-stain on the stage
He's the tear in your eye
Been tempted by his lie
He's the knife in your back
He's rage
He's the razor to the knife
Oh, lonely is our lives
My heads spinnin' round and round
But in seasons of wither
We'll stand and deliver
Be strong and laugh and
Chorus:
Shout-shout-shout
Shout at the devil
He'll be the love in your eyes
He'll be the blood between your thighs
And then have you cry for more
He'll put strength to the test
He'll put the thrill back in bed
Sure you've heard it all before
He'll be the risk in the kiss
Might be anger on your lips
Might run scared for the door
But in seasons of wither
We'll stand and deliver
Be strong and laugh and
Chorus:

| Looks That Kill | |
|
Music & Lyrics by Nikki Sixx
Now listen up
She's razor sharp
If she don't get her way
She'll slice you apart
Now she's a cool, cool black
Moves like a cat
If you don't get her game
You might not make it back
Pre-Chorus:
She's got the looks that kill
That kill
She's got the looks that kill
That kill
Chorus:
She's got the looks that kill
Now she's bullet-proof
Keeps her motor clean
And believe me, you
She's a member thirteen
The church strikes midnight
She's lookin' louder and louder
She's gonna turn on your juice, boy
So she turns on the power
Pre-Chorus:
She's got the looks that kill

Music & Lyrics by Nikki Sixx
Out go the lights
In goes my Knife
Pull out his life
Consider that bastard dead
Get on your knees
Please beg me, please
You're the king of the sleaze
Don't you try to rape me
Chorus:
(Bastard)
Consider that bastard dead
(Bastard)
Won't get screwed again
Whoa! Whoa!
Bastard
Make it quick, blow off his head
Got your neck in the noose
I got nothing to lose
We're really gonna screw you
Consider that bastard dead
Quick a a shark
Beast has its mark
You can't beat the dark
Don't you try to rape me

Lyrics by Nikki Sixx
Fight for the black shark
See what evil brings
Can't you see we're out for blood
Love from a shotgun
License to kill
Can't you see we're out for blood
Pre-Chorus:
The kids scream in fright, through the night
Loving every bite with delight
And we blow out your minds with your truth
And together we stand for the youth
Chorus:
Red hot, Red hot
To the top, we are
Red hot
Shout at the devil
We've laughed at your wars
Can't you see we're out for blood
Run with the pack, now
Always ask for more
Can't you see we're out for blood

| Too Young To Fall In Love | |
|
Music & Lyrics by Nikki Sixx
You say our love
Is like dynamite
Open your eyes
'Cause it's like fire and ice
Well you're killing me
Your love's a guillotine
Why don't you just set me free
Chorus:
Too young to fall in love
Run for the hills
We're both sinners and saints
Not a woman, but a whore
I can just taste the hate
Well, now I'm killing you
Watch your face turning blue
Not yet a man
Just a punk in the streets
Chorus:
Solo:
You say our love
Is like dynamite
Well its no surprise
Cause you've got one-way eyes
Well you're killing me
Your love's a guillotine
Not yet a man
Just a punk in the streets

Music by Nikki Sixx & Vince Neil
Lyrics by Nikki Sixx
In the heat of the night
You went and blackened my eyes
Well now I'm back
I'm back
I'm back
And I'm coming your way
Well now I'm supercharged
Might just explode in your face
I'm back
I'm back
I'm back
And I'm primed for hate
Chorus:
Knock 'em dead, kid
(Knock 'em dead)
Knock 'em dead, kid
(Knock 'em dead)
The blade is red, kid
(Knock 'em dead)
Knock 'em dead, kid
Knock 'em dead
A star spangled fight
Heard a steel-belted scream
Now I'm back, I'm back, I'm back
Another sidewalk's bloody dream
I heard the sirens whine
My blood turned to freeze
You'll see the red in my eyes
As you take my disease
Chorus:
Solo:
Chorus
Knock 'em knock 'em knock 'em
Dead................ (scream)
Knock 'em dead, kid

| Ten Seconds To Love | |
|
Music by Nikki Sixx
Lyrics by Nikki Sixx & Vince Neil
Here I come
My mind is set
Get ready for love
You're my ten second pet
Verse:
Touch my gun
But, don't pull my trigger
Let's make history
In the elevator
Or lock the door
Shine my pistol some more
Here I cum
Just ten seconds more
Chorus:
Ten seconds to love
Ten seconds to love
Pull my trigger
My guns loaded with your love
Ten seconds to love
Ten seconds to love
Just wait honey
Till I tell the boys about you
Bring a girlfriend
Maybe bring two
I got my camera
Make a star outta you
Let's inject it
Photograph it
Down to the subway
Let the boys have it
Chorus:
Talk:
Reach down law
Slide it in real slow
I wanna hear your engine roar
Before I'm in the door
Solo:
Talk:
You feel so good
Do you want some more
I got one more shot
My gun's still warm
Chorus:
Talk:
Was it hot for you
Did you fire this round
The second I'm through
I'll be leaving this town

| Danger | |
|
Music by Mick Mars, Nikki Sixx, and Vince Neil
Lyrics by Nikki Sixx
Had wild dreams
Walkin' the streets
Hell, we were young
Never looked back
So we took our dreams
Ran like hell
Lived our youth
From the wishing well
Me and the boys
Made a pact
To live or die
No turning back
Scarred for life
All my best friends died
I lost my mind
It made me hate
I can't escape, I can't escape
Pre-Chorus:
I'm a wildcat
A shotgun blast
Madman
Strong as steel
Overkill
No more deals
Chorus:
Danger
You're in danger
When the boys are around
Danger
You're in danger
And this is my town
This is Hollywood
I was blind
One step from the edge
Spin round and round
Out of my head
Lost in my gin
From riches to sin
Loose again
I've escaped
I've escaped
Pre-Chorus:
Tattooed lies
Distant eyes
Hollywood
It's been ten long years
Tears and fears
The end is near
Chorus:
Solo:
