Destroyer Lyrics

Detroit Rock City

Words And Music by Paul Stanley and Bob Ezrin



I feel uptight on a Saturday night.
Nine O'Clock and the radio's the only light.
I hear my song and it pulls me through.
Comes on strong; tells me what I got to do. I got to:

Get up! Ev'rybody's gonna move their feet.
Get down! Ev'rybody's gonna leave their seat.

Ya gotta lose your mind in Detroit Rock City.

Get up! Ev'rybody's gonna move their feet.
Get down! Ev'rybody's gonna leave their seat.

Getting late. I just can't wait.
Ten O'Clock and I know I gotta hit the road.
First I drink, then I smoke.
Start the car and I try to make the midnight show.

Get up! Ev'rybody's gonna move their feet.
Get down! Ev'rybody's gonna leave their seat.

INSTRUMENTAL


Movin' fast doin' ninety-five.
I hit top speed but, I'm still movin' much too slow.
I feel so good. I'm so alive.
I hear my song playin' on the radio. It goes!:

Get up! Ev'rybody's gonna move their feet.
Get down! Ev'rybody's gonna leave their seat.

INSTRUMENTAL


Twelve O'Clock. I gotta rock.
There's a truck ahead; lights are starin' at my eyes.
Whoa,my GOD! No time to turn.
I got ta laugh 'cause I know I'm gonna die. Why!!!

Get up! Ev'rybody's gonna move their feet.
Get up! Ev'rybody's gonna leave their seat.



King Of The Night Time World

Words and Music by Kim Fowley,Mike Anthony,Paul Stanley,and Bob Ezrin



It's so sad livin' at home
far from the city and the mid-night glow.
It's so bad goin' to school
so far from me and the dirty things that we've done.

I'm the King Of The Night Time World
and you're my headlight queen.
I'm the King Of The Night Time World
Come, live your secret dream.

It's so fine lovin' with ease
far from the house and the family fights.
It's so fine bein' with you.
Bein' with me makes ev'ry thing alright.

I'm the King Of The Night Time World
and you're my headlight queen.
I'm the King Of The Night Time World
Come, live your secret dream.

INSTRUMENTAL


It's so sad you're not content
far from the music and the neon glow.
Ain't you glad we got the time
far from our folks? They'll never, ever know.

I'm the King Of The Night Time World
and you're my headlight queen.
I'm the King Of The Night Time World
Come, live your secret dream.

I'm the king!
I'm the king!
I'm the king!
I'm the king!
I'm the king!
I'm the king!
I'm the king!
I'm the king!

I'm the King Of The Night Time World
and you're my headlight queen.
I'm the King Of The Night Time World
Come, live your secret dream.


I'm the King Of The Night Time World
and you're my headlight queen.
I'm the King Of The Night Time World
Come, live your secret dream.



God Of Thunder

Words and Music by Paul Stanley



She's got something about her.
She's got something I need.
Daughter of Aphrodite.
Hear my words and take heed.

I was born on Olympus;
to my father a son.
I was raised by the demons
trained to reign as the one.

God Of Thunder and Rock and Roll.
The spell you're under will slowly rob you of your virgin soul.

I'm the lord of the wastelands.
A modern day man-of-steel.
I gather darkness to please me
and I command you to kneel...before the...

God Of Thunder and Rock and Roll.
The spell you're under will slowly rob you of your virgin soul.

Great Expectations

Words and Music by Gene Simmons and Bob Ezrin



You're sittin' in your seat
and then, you stand and clutch your breasts.
Our music drives you wild
along with the rest.

You watched me singin' this song. You see what my mouth can do.
and you wish you were the one I was doing it to.
You watched me playin' guitar and you feel what my fingers can do
and you wish you were the one I was doing it to. Well, listen:

You've got Great Expectations.
You've got Great Expectations.

You're dyin' to be seen
and you wave and call my name,
but, in the din it seems
that I'm a million miles away.

You watched me beatin' my drum and you know what my hands can do
and you wish you were the one I was doing it to. Well, listen:

You've got Great Expectations.
You've got Great Expectations.
You've got Great Expectations.

INSTRUMENTAL


Then you feel these eyes from the stage and you see me starin' at you
and you wish you were the one I was doing it to. Well, listen:

You've got Great Expectations.
You've got Great Expectations.
You've got Great Expectations. Do you wanna play the role?
You've got Great Expectations. You'll even sell me your soul.
You've got Great Expectations.




Flaming Youth

My uniform is leather
and my power is my age.

Flaming Youth will set the world on fire.
Flaming Youth. Our flag is flying higher and higher and higher.

Shout It Out Loud

Words and Music by Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley,and Bob Ezrin



Well, the night's begun and you want some fun.
Do you think you're gonna find it?(...think you're gonna find it?)
You got to treat yourself like number one.
Do you need to be reminded?(...need to be reminded?)

It doesn't matter what you do or
say just forget the things that you've been told.
We can't do it any other way.
Ev'rybody's got to rock and roll...and!

Shout It...Shout It...Shout It Out Loud!
Shout It...Shout It...Shout It Out Loud!


If you don't feel good there's a way you could.
Don't sit there broken-hearted(...sit there broken-hearted).
Call all your friends in the neighborhood
and get the party started(...get the party started).

Don't let 'em tell you that there's too much noise.
They're too old to really understand.
You'll still get rowdy with the girls and boys
'cause it's time for you to take your stand.

Shout It...Shout It...Shout It Out Loud!

Shout It...Shout It...Shout It Out Loud! Wow!!!



Beth

Words and Music by Peter Criss,Stan Penridge,and Bob Ezrin



Beth I hear you callin' but, I can't come home right now.
Me and the boys are playin' an' we just can't find the sound.

Just a few more hours an' I'll be right home to you.
I think I hear them callin'.

Oh, Beth, what can I do? Beth, what can I do?

You say you feel so empty, that our house just ain't a home.
I'm always somewhere else and you're always there alone.

Just a few more hours an' I'll be right home to you.
I think I hear them callin'.

Oh, Beth, what can I do? Beth, what can I do?

INSTRUMENTAL


Beth, I know you're lonely and I hope you'll be alright
'cause me and the boys'll be playin' all night.



Do You Love Me

Words and Music by Kim Fowley,Bob Ezrin,and Paul Stanley



You really like my limousine.
You like the way the wheels roll.
You like my seven-inch,leather heels
and goin' to all of the shows but!...

Do You Love Me? Do You Love Me?
Do You Love Me? Really You Love Me?

You like the credit cards and private planes.
Money can really take you far.
You like the hotels and fancy clothes
and the sound of electric guitars but!...

Do You Love Me? Do You Love Me?
Do You Love Me? Really You Love Me?

You really like rock and roll;
all the fame and the masquerade.
You like the concerts and studios
and all the money,honey that I made but!...

Do You Love Me? Do You Love Me?
Do You Love Me? Really You Love Me?

Your back-stage pass and black sunglasses make you look just like a queen.
Even the fans they know you face from all of the magazines but!!!...

Do You Love Me? Really You Love Me?
