DETROIT ROCK CITY - Paul Stanley, Bob Ezrin

"... congressional reports. President Ford says that he's disappointed with 
Congress's performance. In Detroit, a Pontiac, Michigan youth was reported 
dead at the scene of a head-on collision on Grand Avenue this morning. The 
youth was reportedly driving on the wrong side of the boulevard when he 
struck a delivery truck and was catapulted through the windshield of his 
car. The driver of the truck is reported to be uninjured. The identities 
of both men are being withheld by local police. 
County legislatives today are expected to rally to the aid of striking 
longshoremen in hopes of ending the 9 month deadlock ..." 

"..roll all night and party every day 
I wanna rock and roll all night and party every day" 

I feel uptight on a Saturday night 
Nine o' clock, 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 
Everybody's gonna move their feet 
Get down 
Everybody's gonna leave their seat 
You gotta lose your mind in Detroit Rock City 

Get up 
Everybody's gonna move their feet 
Get down 
Everybody'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 up the car, and I try to make the midnight show 

Get up 
Everybody's gonna move their feet 
Get down 
Everybody's gonna leave their seat 

Movin' fast, doin' 95 
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 
Everybody's gonna move their feet 
Get down 
Everybody's gonna leave their seat 

Twelve o'clock, I gotta rock 
There's a truck ahead, lights starin' at my eyes 
Oh my God, no time to turn 
I got to laugh 'cause I know I'm gonna die 
Why 

Get up 
Everybody's gonna move their feet 
Get up 
Everybody's gonna leave their seat 



KING OF THE NIGHT TIME WORLD

Ken Fowley, Michael Anthony, Paul Stanley, Bob Ezrin 

It's so sad, livin' at home 
Far from the city and the midnight fun 
It's so bad, goin' to school 
So far from me and the dirty things that we do 

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 everything 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, alright 

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 
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 



GOD OF THUNDER - Paul Stanley

You've got something about you 
You've 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 

I am the lord of the wastelands 
A modern day man of steel 
I gather darkness to please me 
And I command thee 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 - Gene Simmons, Bob Ezrin

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

You watch me singing this song 
You see what my mouth can do 
And you wish you were the one I was doing it to 

And you watch 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 dying to be seen 
And you wave and call my name 
But in the day it seems that I'm a million miles away 

You watch 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 

Then you feels these eyes from the stage 
And you see me staring at you 
And you hear between the lines, my voice is calling to you 
Well, listen 

You've got great expectations 
You've got great expectations 
You've got great expectations, do you want to play the role 
You've got great expectations, you'd even sell me your soul 
You've got great expectations 
You've got great expectations 
You've got great expectations, do you want to play the role 
You've got great expectations, you'd even sell me your soul 
You've got great expectations, as long as you can play the role 
You've got great expectations 



FLAMING YOUTH - Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Bob Ezrin

Whoo yeah 
My parents think I'm crazy and they hate the things I do 
I'm stupid and I'm lazy, man, if they only knew 

How flaming youth will set the world on fire 
Flaming youth, our flag is flying higher and higher and higher 

My uniform is leather, and my power is my age 
I'm gettin' it together to break out of my cage 

'Cause flaming youth will set the world on fire 
Flaming youth will set the world on fire 
Flaming youth, our flag is flying higher and higher and higher 

Flaming youth will set the world on fire 
Flaming youth will set the world on fire 
Flaming youth will set the world on fire 
Flaming youth will set the world on fire 
Flaming youth will set the world on fire 
Flaming youth, our flag is flying higher and higher 
And higher and higher and higher and higher and higher

BETH - Peter Criss, Stan Penridge, Bob Ezrin

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

Just a few more hours 
And 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 
And I'm always somewhere else 
And you're always there alone 

Just a few more hours 
And I'll be right home to you 
I think I hear them callin' 
Oh, Beth what can I do 
Beth what can I do 

Beth, I know you're lonely 
And I hope you'll be alright 
'Cause me and the boys will be playin' 
All night 



DO YOU LOVE ME - Ken Fowley, Bob Ezrin, 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 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, I mean like do you 
Really love me 

You really like rock 'n' roll 
All of the fame and the masquerade 
You like the concerts and studios 
And all the money, honey, that I make, but 

Do you love me, do you love me 
Do you love me, really love me 

Your backstage pass and black sunglasses 
Make you look just like a queen 
Even the fans, they know your face 
From all of the magazines, but 

Do you love me (do you love me) 
Do you love me (do you love me) 
Do you love me (do you love me) 
Really love me (really love me) 
I wanna know
