    @SONG: DANGER ZONE - KENNY LOGGINS
    (G. Moroder/T. Whitlock)

    Revvin' up your engine
    Listen to her howlin' roar
    Metal under tension
    Beggin' you to touch and go

    Highway to the danger zone
    Ride into the danger zone

    Headin' into twilight
    Spreadin' out her wings tonight
    She got you jumpin' off the deck
    And shovin' into overdrive

    Highway to the danger zone
    I'll take you
    Right into the danger zone

    You'll never say hello to you
    Until you get it on the red line overload
    You'll never know what you can do
    Until you get it up as high as you can go

    Out along the edges
    Always where I burn today
    The further on the edge
    The hotter the intensity

    Highway to the danger zone
    Gonna take you
    Right into the danger zone

    Highway to the danger zone


    @SONG: MIGHTY WINGS - CHEAP TRICK
    (H. Faltermeyer/M. Spiro)

    It's just a ball of dust
    Underneath my feet
    It rolls around the sun
    Doesn't mean that much to me

    I take a chance on the edge of life
    Just like all the rest
    I look inside and dig it out
    Cause there's no point for second best

    There's a raging fire in my heart tonight
    Growing higher and higher in my soul
    There's a raging fire in the sky tonight
    I want to ride on the silver dove
    Far into the night

    Chorus:
    Till I make you take me
    On your mighty wings
    Make you take me
    On your mighty wings across the sky
    Take me on your mighty wings
    Take me on your mighty wings tonight

    With just a little luck
    A little cold blue steel
    I'll cut the night like a razor blade
    Till I fell the way I want to feel

    There's a raging fire in my heart tonight
    Growing higher and higher in my soul
    There's a raging fire in the sky tonight
    I want to ride on the silver dove
    Far into the night

    Chorus:

    Take me on your mighty wings
    Take me on your mighty wings


    @SONG: PLAYING WITH THE BOYS - KENNY LOGGINS
    (K. Loggins/P. Wolf/I. Wolf)

    They say it was the right time
    To walk away
    When dreaming takes you nowhere
    It's time to play
    Bodies working overtime
    Your money don't matter
    The clock keeps ticking
    When someone's on your mind
    On your mind

    I'm moving in slow motion
    Feel so good
    It's a strange anticipation
    Knock, knock, knocking on wood
    Bodies working overtime
    Man against man
    And all that ever matters
    Is baby who's ahead in the game
    Funny but it's always the same

    Chorus:
    Playing, playing with the boys
    Staying, playing with the boys
    After chasing sunsets
    One of life's simple joys
    Is playing with the boys

    Said it was the wrong time
    For me to do
    I said it's just a boy's game
    Girls play too
    My heart is working overtime
    In this kind of game
    Someone gets hurt
    I'm afraid that someone is me
    If you want to find me, I'll be

    Chorus:

    I don't want to be the moth around your fire
    I don't want to be obsessed by your desire
    I'm ready, I'm leaving
    I've seen enough
    I've got to go
    You play too rough

    Chorus:


    @SONG: LEAD ME ON - TEENA MARIE
    (G. Moroder/T. Whitlock)

    Turn around to see you
    In a crowded place
    I watch for the emotions
    On a guarded face
    Saying lead me on

    Victim of a dream
    And a memory
    But when I try to break free
    You say to me
    C'mon and lead me on

    A matter out of time
    In the reaches of space
    Caught up in the patterns
    In the light of life
    Walk across the bridge
    To the shadows of the night

    Chorus:
    Saying lead me on (lead me on)
    Lead me on (on, on)
    Lead me on (lead me on)
    On and on (on, on)
    Lead me on

    Voices in the night
    Chase the demons away
    Looking in the mirror
    It's easy to say
    C'mon and lead me on

    The choices of a lifetime
    In the dreams of day
    When the coast is gettin' clearer
    I hear you say
    C’mon and lead me on

    A matter out of time
    In the look of your face
    Caught up in the patterns
    In the light of life
    Walk across the bridge
    To the shadows of the night

    Chorus:

    Talk to me of lightning - I'll hear what you say, my love
    Reaching for the meaning all of the way
    I can keep believing in you and me, my love
    Finding the answers that we need - sometimes it's meant to be
    Oh, lead me on (lead me on)

    Turn around to see you
    In a crowded place
    I watch for the emotions
    As they cross your face
    Saying lead me on

    I see you in a dream
    And a memory
    A captive of the light
    You say to me
    C’mon and lead me on
    C’mon and lead me on
    C’mon and lead me on
    Lead me on
    Lead me on


    @SONG: TAKE MY BREATH AWAY - BERLIM
    (G. Moroder/T. Whitlock)

    Watching every motion
    In my foolish lover's game
    On this endless ocean
    Finally lovers know no shame
    Turning and returning
    To some secret place inside
    Watching in slow motion
    As you turn around and say

    Take my breath away
    Take my breath away

    Watching I keep waiting
    Still anticipating love
    Never hesitating
    To become the fated ones
    Turning and returning
    To some secret place to hide
    Watching in slow motion
    As you turn to me and say: “My Love”
    Take my breath away

    Through the hourglass I saw you
    In time you slipped away
    When the mirror crashed I called you
    And turned to hear you say:
    “If only for today, I am unafraid”

    Take my breath away
    Take my breath away

    Watching every motion
    In this foolish lover's game
    Haunted by the notion
    Somewhere there's a love in flames
    Turning and returning
    To some secret place inside
    Watching in slow motion
    As you turn my way and say

    Take my breath away
    My love
    Take my breath away
    My love
    Take my breath away, my love
    Take my breath away


    @SONG: HOT SUMMER NIGHTS - MIAMI SOUND MACHINE
    (M. Joy/R. A. Scott/R. Freeland)

    In the time before the twilight
    Settles on the world
    Woah, you can feel the magic
    Dreamin' of someone to hold tight
    One more lonely girl
    Woah, goes on automatic

    Everywhere across the land
    In front of their mirrors with combs in their hands
    They prepare to make a stand
    Lover to lover, woman to man
    (Livin' for the...)

    Chorus:
    Sidewalk hot summer nights
    Radio 'bout to blow
    Small talk under the lights
    Feel the heat, wild and sweet
    Hot summer nights

    Sitting out upon the front steps
    Bursting at the seams
    Woah, driven by desire
    City boy stares at the sunset
    Dreaming desperate dreams
    Woah, where there's smoke there's fire

    And some believe that love is won
    And some of them go like they're under the gun
    In between what's already done
    And the promise they feel in the evening to come
    (Livin' for the...)

    Chorus:

    Oh, oh hot summer nights
    Oh, oh hot summer nights

    In the end two hearts will meet
    And maybe they'll find whatever they seek
    If they can, they'll learn how to keep
    The faith that they found in the sound of the beat
    (Livin' for the...)

    Chorus:


    @SONG: HEAVEN IN YOUR EYES - LOVERBOY
    (P. Dean/M. Reno/J. Dexter/M. Moore)

    I can tell you by the look in your eyes you've been hurtin'
    You know I'll never let you down... oh no
    And I'll try anything to keep it workin'
    You gave me time to find out
    What my heart was lookin' for
    And what I'm feelin' inside

    In your eyes
    I wanna see your love again
    In your eyes
    I never want this feeling to end
    It took some time to find the light
    But now I realize
    I can see the heaven in your eyes

    Can't you see I'm finding it hard to let go
    Oooh all the heartaches
    We've been through
    I never really thought I'd see this love grow
    But you helped me see
    Now I know what my heart's been lookin' for
    And what I'm feeling inside

    In your eyes
    I wanna see your love again
    In your eyes
    I never want this feeling to end
    It took some time to find the light
    But now I realize
    I can see the heaven in your eyes

    We've been livin' on the edge
    Where only the strong survive
    We've been livin' on the edge
    And it's something that we just can't hide
    Oh this feeling inside

    In your eyes
    I wanna see your love again
    In your eyes
    I never want this feeling to end
    It took some time to find the light
    But now I realize
    I can see the heaven in your eyes
    Oooh yeah I can see the heaven in your eyes
    I can see the heaven, heaven in your eyes
    I can see the heaven, heaven in your eyes
    Heaven in your eyes
    Oooh
    Heaven in your eyes


    @SONG: THROUGH THE FIRE - LARRY GREENE
    (G. Moroder/T. Whitlock)

    I will take it to the wire now
    Until every race is run
    I'll go straight into the fire now
    Until every day is done
    Voices say - break away
    Live the night as if each moment
    Was the only one

    Through the fire
    To the wire
    When the night out of control
    Is breaking your heart
    Through the fire
    To the wire
    When the flames are burning hot
    They take you higher
    Through the fire

    There's a feeling that I can't ignore
    Like a stranger at my door
    So revealing that I cannot hide
    When you settle up the score
    Voices say - night and day
    Live your life as if each second
    Was the final one

    Through the fire
    To the wire
    When the night out of control
    Is breaking your heart
    Through the fire
    To the wire
    When the flames are burning hot
    They take you higher
    Through the fire

    I look for signs that you are here tonight
    When the passion calls the pleasure to the path
    Then I ask you of the meaning when you talk of love
    Would you take the leap of faith?
    Would you throw it all away?

    Through the fire
    To the wire
    When the night out of control
    Is breaking your heart
    Through the fire
    To the wire
    When the flames are burning hot
    They take you higher
    Through the fire


    @SONG: DESTINATION UNKNOWN - MARIETTA
    (F. Golde/P. Fox/J. Hooker)

    I see life and it's passin' right before my eyes
    And the past is the past
    Don't regret it, time to realize
    I need to walk on the wire
    Just to catch my breath
    I don't know how or where
    But I'm goin' it's all that I have left

    It don't matter where it takes me
    Long as I can keep this feelin'
    Runnin' through my soul

    Never took this road before - destination unknown
    Oh oh oh ohohoh - destination unknown
    Won't be comin' back this way
    Gotta go it alone
    Oh oh oh ohohoh - destination unknown

    See a chance gotta take it
    Wanna meet my fate
    Cause the last thing I ever wanted
    Was to find out it's too late
    No way out when you're in it
    Deeper than the night
    There's a light at the end of the tunnel
    I see it burnin' bright

    It don't matter where it takes me
    Long as I can keep this feelin'
    Runnin' through my soul

    Never took this road before - destination unknown
    Oh oh oh ohohoh - destination unknown
    Won't be comin' back this way
    Gotta go it alone
    Oh oh oh ohohoh - destination unknown

    It don't matter where it takes me
    Long as I can keep this feelin'
    Runnin' through my soul

    Never took this road before - destination unknown
    Oh oh oh ohohoh - destination unknown
    Won't be comin' back this way
    Gotta go it alone
    Oh oh oh ohohoh - destination unknown
