Eye of the Tiger
Album - 1982 - Debaser id 28299

Risin' up, back on the street
Took my time, took my chances
Went the distance now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive
So many times it happens too fast
You trade your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all
With the eye of the tiger

Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds still we take to the street
For the kill, with the skill to survive

It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all
With the eye of the tiger

Risin' up, straight to the top
Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive

It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all
With the eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger

Like a vision standin' there,
Lips poutin', a come-on stare,
Come on -- I thought I had your number,
Workin' up an appetite for love,
Don't let me die of hunger,
Ain't ya got no heart,
No compassion for your lover,
When I get you on the floor, I find it's just another,

*Hesitation dance –
you got me in a stone-cold trance
Hesitation dance
Go out and find another fool
For your game of chance*

Shut the door, draw the blinds,
Yeah baby gonna draw the lines,
Come on, I know your heart's on fire,
How could anyone who plays the part
And tastes so sweet wanna hide her heart away,
You're my main desire --
Ain't you got no heart --
No compassion for your lover,
When I get you on the floor,
I find it's just another

( * Repeat)

Well we rifle through the night,
Like riders on the run now, in the street--
Holding back the blinding light,
'Cause a thousand eyes can be so indiscreet,
And we hide away, love the night away,
And we run between the shadows and the light,

*We're children of the night,
Runnin' from the light,
Children of the night,
Of the night, oh yeah.*

In the day we pass like strangers,
'Cause we fear the consequences of our love,
And we realize the danger,
Still we choose to take our chances on our love,
And we hide away, love the night away,
And we run between the shadows and the light,

( * Repeat)

There’s a fine line, such a fine line, a very fine--line,
Between the day and the nighttime,
The wrong and the right time, for makin' sweet love,
Find a place to hide, anyplace to hide, hidin' in the -- darkness,
Feels like the right time, for love in the nighttime,
For makin' sweet love.

I'll never know what brought me here,
As if somebody led my hand,
It seems I hardly had to steer,
My course was planned.
And destiny it guides us all,
And by it's hand we rise and fall,
But only for a moment,
Time enough to catch our breath again.

And we're just another piece of the puzzle,
Just another part of the plan,
How one live touches the other,
Is so hard to understand.
Still we walk this road together,
We travel through as far as we can,
And we have waited for this moment in time,
Ever since the world began.

Taking in the times gone by,
We wonder how it all began,
We'll never know and still we
Try to understand.
And even though the seasons change,
The reasons shall remain the same,
It's love that keeps us holding on
Till we can see the sun again.

And we're just another piece of the puzzle,
Just another part of the plan,
And we have waited for this moment in time,
Ever since the world began.

And I stand alone, a man of stone,
Against the driving rain,
And the night it's got your number,
And the wind it cries your name,
If we search for truth, win or lose,
In this we're all the same,
The hope still burns eternal,
We're the keeper of the flame.

And we're just another piece of the puzzle,
Just another part of the plan,
How one live touches the other,
Is so hard to understand.
Still we walk this road together,
We try and go as far as we can,
And we have waited for this moment in time,
Ever since the world began.

The night's alive with wind and fire

We telegraph our heart's desire through the night with our eyes.
Wheels are tuniing fast and hard
hearts are burnin' on the Boulevard.
Hear them pound - young and proud:
It's the American heartbeat.
Chart the stars and head out for the action

Hit the streets and find some satisfaction.
It's the American heartbeat
it's the American heartbeat

Oh
the American heartbeat.
The stage is set
the roles are chosen.
The lights grow hot as the midnight's closin' in at last -
It comes so fast.
Poundin' harder as the midnight's strikin'

It hits us like a bolt of lightning.
Deeper down
it's the sound of the American heartbeat.
Chart the stars and head out for the action

Hit the streets an find some satisfaction.
It's the American heartbeat - young and proud

The American heartbeat - young and proud

American heartbeat
the American heartbeat

It's the American heartbeat
it's the American heartbeat
. . .
