RIP IT OUT (Ace Frehley/Larry Kelly/Sue Kelly)

Now I know, you've been cheatin' and lyin' all the time
I didn't know you were gonna be so unkind
I've been trying just to find out how we went wrong
But I know that I can't trust you girl anymore

Chorus
Rip it out, take my heart
She wanted it from the start
She got it now, so goodbye
So rip it out, watch me cry

It's so sad, I'm not glad to be with you today
And it's bad, 'cause I can't stop the pain day by day
If I knew how to stop you, I don't think I'd try
I think it's better if we just part and don't say goodbye

Repeat Chorus

I hope you suffer

Chorus Repeats Twice

Rip it out
Repeats Out


SPEEDIN' BACK TO MY BABY (Ace Frehley/Jeanette Frehley)

I'm drivin' down the road
Doin' 95 miles per hour, oh yeah
My radio's blastin'
And I'm passin' cars faster and faster, aha

I'm feelin' kinda down
'Cause I left her with a frown, my baby, oh yeah
We always seem to fight
When things are goin' right and maybe, aha

(Ooh) Maybe I should turn around
(Ooh) Maybe I should stop
(Ooh) Maybe I should turn around

Chorus
Speedin' back to my baby, and I don't mean maybe
Speedin' back to my baby, and I don't mean maybe

You know, maybe I should turn around
Maybe I should stop
Maybe I should turn around

I'm lookin' for a station
'Cause there's no acceleration to get back
(Speedin' back) Oh yeah (speedin' back)
My gage is showin' red
And my battery's dead, I'd better
(Speedin' back) Find one fast (ooh, speedin' back)

The whole thing began
'Cause I saw her with a man, my baby
(Ooh, speedin' back) Oh yeah (ooh, speedin' back)
I really wouldn't mind
But you know I've got my pride to think of
(Ooh, speedin' back) Aha (ooh, speedin' back)

(Ooh) Maybe I should turn around
(Ooh) Maybe I should stop
(Ooh) Maybe I should turn aroundRepeat Chorus

I found me a station
Now I got acceleration to get back
(Speedin' back) Oh yeah (ooh, speedin' back)
She's my only girl
And to me she's just the world, so maybe
(Ooh, speedin' back) Aha (ooh, speedin' back)

(Ooh) Maybe I should turn around
(Ooh) Maybe I should stop
(Ooh) Maybe I should turn around

Repeat Chorus

Speedin' back to my baby (ohh, speedin' back)
And I don't mean maybe (oh, oh, ohh)
Speedin' back to my baby (ohh, speedin' back)
And I don't mean maybe
Speedin' back to my baby (speedin' back, speedin' back)
And I don't mean maybe (speedin' back)
Speedin' back to my baby, and I don't mean maybe
To Fade


SNOW BLIND (Ace Frehley)

It's so hard to feel right baby
When I'm travellin' around and you're far behind
God, I wish I could see my lady
Girl, I hope you don't mind, 'cause

Chorus
I'm snow blind, I can't see a thing
I'm snow blind, I don't wanna sing
I'm snow blind, need a familiar face
I'm snow blind, think I'm lost in space

Lookin' out my window, sometimes I wonder
Am I ever gonna get to where I'm gonna go home
Maybe tomorrow, maybe next summer
Girl, I just don't know, 'cause

Repeat Chorus

Movin' around, I get in trouble
When I'm feelin' so low and out of my mind
Babe, I don't wanna burst your bubble
Girl, you know the reason why, 'cause

Repeat Chorus


OZONE (Ace Frehley)

I'm the kind of guy who likes feelin' high
Feelin' high and dry, and I really like to fly
I'm your kinda guy, girl I'm not too shy
And I want you to fly, so I think you oughta try

Chorus
Ozone, ozone
Ozone, ozone

I'm your kinda guy and I'm not too shy
Feelin' high and dry, and I want you to be mine
So I think it's time, girl, to start feelin' fine
Feeling good all the time, so I think you oughta try

Repeat Chorus

Now, I'm the kinda guy who likes getting high
Getting high and dry, and I do it all the time
If you think it's a crime and you don't wanna try
Something that'll make you high, then I think I'll say goodbye

'Cause I'm the kind of guy who likes getting high
Getting high and dry, and I do it all the time
Now I'm much too high, I am high and dry
And I'm feelin' fine, I'm feelin' good all of the time
To Fade


WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND? (Ace Frehley)

You're breakin' my heart
I'm fallin' apart, you make me crazy, crazy
You're breakin' my heart
I don't wanna start a new day, new day

I'm wreckin' my brain
I'm feelin' insane, you make me crazy, crazy
I'm changin' my ways
I'm leavin' today, but things look hazy, hazy

Chorus
(Ooh) I can't express the words to tell you 'bout the feelings I got
Locked up inside
(Ooh) If only you would give me a reason why you're so uptight
What's on your mind

Maybe we could make it one more time
Maybe we should try it again
Maybe we could make it one more time
Baby please let me know when

You're breakin' my heart
I'm fallin' apart, you make me crazy, crazy
You're breakin' my heart
I'm spinnin' apart, I'm lookin' this and that way

Repeat Chorus
What's on your mind, what's on your mind
What's on your mind, tell me

Maybe we could make it one more time
Maybe we should try it again
Maybe we could make it one more time
Baby please let me know when

Chorus Repeats Three Times


NEW YORK GROOVE (Russ Ballard)

Many years since I was here
On the street I was passin' my time away
To the left and to the right, buildings towering to the sky
And it's outta sight in the dead of night

(Ooh) Here I am and in this city
(Ooh) With a fistfull of dollars
(Ooh) And baby, you'd better believe

I'm back, back in the New York groove
I'm back, back in the New York groove
I'm back, back in the New York groove
Back in the New York groove, in the New York groove

In the back of my Cadillac
A wicked lady, sittin' by my side, sayin' "Where are we?"
Stop at Third and Forty-Three, exit to the night
It's gonna be ecstacy, this place was meant for me

(Ooh) I feel so good tonight
(Ooh) Who cares about tomorrow
(Ooh) So baby, you'd better believe

I'm back (New York groove)
Back in the New York groove (New York groove)
I'm back (New York groove)
Back in the New York groove (New York groove)
I'm back (New York groove)
Back in the New York groove (New York groove)
Back in the New York groove, in the New York groove
I'm back, back in the New York groove
I'm back, back in the New York groove

I'm back (New York groove)
Back in the New York groove (New York groove)
Repeats Out


I'M IN NEED OF LOVE (Ace Frehley)

I need some love, so give me some
You know I want some love, so turn me on
Sometimes I feel so low
Sometimes I feel I'm on top, you know
Now girl I hate to start
'Cause then you gonna stop

Chorus
I'm in need of love, I'm in need of love
I'm in need of love
And I'm hopin' you're in need of me

Now I want some love, so give me some
You know I need some love, so turn me on
It's just that devil in me
That keeps on comin' through, all the time
When things start lookin' good
Some things start lookin' blue

Repeat Chorus

Now I want some love, so give me some
You know I need some love, so turn me on
Things keep on turnin' round
When things should be sittin' straight, now turn around
G-g-girl, it's not my fault
I guess it's just my fate, you know me

'Cause all I want is love
So turn me on, you've got to
All I need is love, so give me some, just a little
'Cause all I want is love
So turn me on, one more time
All I need is love
So give me some, ooh yeah, do it like that
'Cause all I want is love
So turn me on, and on, and on
All I need is love, so give me some
To Fade


WIPED-OUT (Ace Frehley/Anton Fig)

Wiped-out, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha

Went to a party, just so smartly
Cool as cool could be
Knew I could make it, knew I could shake it
Lose some fancy free

So I went to the table and reached for a bottle
And poured me a glass of wine
Took a few sips and looked around
I was feelin' fine

But an hour along, comin' on strong
I was gettin' drunk
The next thing I knew, I looked at you
I was blind as a skunk, I, I was

Chorus
I was wiped-out, I had my lights out
Was fallin' right out, 'cause I was wiped-out

Through the smoke filled room
I caught your eye
And I think that you caught mine
And I knew in a minute or maybe less
It was just a matter of time

Then you start to move with such a groove
Stronger than a sneakin' slow
Then you looked at me with your big blue eyes
They had such a glow

Then I took your hand and tried to stand
And ended up sittin' back down
Then you smiled at me and gave me a wink
How quick I lost my frown, I, I was

Repeat Chorus

So I looked at you and then I knew
That we were gonna have some fun
So I thought to myself, wine was out
We should switch to Rum

So without a word, and like some bird
We flew to another place
And pretty soon we were in some room
Streched miles out in space

The room was turnin' we were burnin'
Things became a haze
It seemed that already I had too many
Firewater caused the blazed, I, I was

I was wiped-out, I had my lights out
Was fallin' right out, 'cause I was wiped-out
I was wiped-out, was fallin' right out
I had my lights out, 'cause I was wiped-out
Repeats Out
