Best Of Scorpions

1. Steamrock Fever LYRICS
We'd like to introduce tonight
The Kings of a brandnew style
They are hungry to play
We'd like to introduce tonight
The new heavy steam rock style
Quite different and strange

Allright, how do you feel tonight
Get up to see and cry the name of the
Band

Steam right with hands and feet tonight
Get up to see and cry and they will begin -
Here they are!

Steam rock fever,
Screaming rock believers
Steamrock fever in L.A.

2. Pictured Life LYRICS
Ooh! Dark meditation,
Your second sight can show my light
In a crystal ball.
Sweet are the days, intoxication
Crow-black the nights caging my mind
Behind the wall.

Into the rock through walls of red dreams
Into the rock to find the cream
Into the rock through walls of red dreams
Pictured life from yesterday.

Ooh! Dark meditation,
Deep down inside a stream of light
Begins to flow.
Sweet are the days, intoxication
Crow-black the nights caging my mind
Behind the wall.

Into the rock through walls of red dreams
Into the rock to find the cream
Into the rock through walls of red dreams
Pictured life from yesterday.

Pictured life, pictured life
Pictured life from yesterday

3. Robot Man LYRICS
Crave communication
See me this is my life in the crazy robot man reservation
Do you feel him, the cold vibration
Comes from everywhere, produce a crazy science fiction creation

And I say oooh, oooh
I'm a robot man
And I say oooh, oooh
I'm a loser
I say oooh, oooh
I'm a robot man
Well, that's my mind
That's my life
That's my soul

Babe, it's a magic station
Where we live what we do with our magic from my generation
I say babe, it's not a vision
It's reality, this is a robot scene what we live in.

And I say oooh, oooh
I'm a robot man
And I say oooh, oooh
I'm a loser
I say oooh, oooh
I'm a robot man
That's my mind
That's my life
That's my soul

And I say oooh, oooh
I'm a robot man
And I say oooh, oooh
I'm a loser

I say oooh, oooh
I'm a robot man
And I say oooh, oooh
I'm a loser

4. Backstage Queen LYRICS
Hey little Donna, sweet little Donna I know
You wanted my love and I gave it to you.
Hey little Donna, sweet little Donna you know
Goodbye is hello, 'cos I'm on the road.

Take it easy, don't get me wrong,
Just keep me in your dreams.
Take it easy, life goes on
My little backstage queen.

Hey little Donna, sweet little Donna so good
My feeling with you was all very true.
Hey little Donna, sweet little Donna you know
Goodbye is hello, 'cos I'm on the road.

Take it easy, don't get me wrong,
Just keep me in your dreams.
Take it easy, life goes on
My little backstage queen.

5. Speedy's Coming LYRICS
You look at a poster
You look at the wall
The wall in the room where you live
Where you live with your stars
Just listen to his records
Now hear what he says
For he says, "I love you little girl
Come to see me today"

Speedy's Coming
You live in his heart
Speedy's Coming
You live in his heart

You like Alice Cooper
You like Ringo Starr
You like David Bowie
And friends in the Royal Albert Hall
Stick up the pictures, movies, TV
And I'll bring you the show little girl
Come to see me today

Speedy's Coming
You live in his heart
Speedy's Coming
You live in his heart

You like Alice Cooper
You like Ringo Starr
You like David Bowie
And friends in the Royal Albert Hall
Stick up the pictures, movies, TV
And I'll bring you the show little girl
Come to see me today

Speedy's Coming
You live in his heart
Speedy's Coming
You live in his heart
Speedy's Coming
You live in his heart
Speedy's Coming
You live in his heart

6. Hell Cat LYRICS
Fire in her eyes ... burn ...
Perfume of the skies ...
Fingers cold as ice ... freeze ...
Devil in disguise!

Well, she's a, she's a, she's a
You know that she's a hell-cat, hell-cat, hell-cat, hell-cat
(She's gonna scratch up your mind ...)
You know that guy with piccadilly-eyes
Was talking to the French boy
But didn't realize.
Banana-long-boat-eating
An' he tried to get a wife
But he couldn't stay alive
Well, you know that lad with the rubber-dad
Paints his fingers yellow, blue, and red.
An' you also know that she's a liar
Knowing only her desire
02:24
7. He's A Woman, She's A Man LYRICS
I saw it walking lonely down the street
Cool like a cat and like a crazy dream
I'm looking twice again and can't believe
It turned around and then it looked at me
I thought "oh, no" it really couldn't be
It was a man and was a woman too
He's a woman
She's a man

I think it really came from far away
I'm feeling hypnotised, I have to stay
It takes my hand and says come on let's go
We're going home there's nothing more to say
He starts to move she starts to play
I need a body, why not you?
He's a woman
She's a man
03:14
8. In Trance LYRICS
I wake up in the morning
and the sun begins to shine
the day did sneak up on the night
I see your face and I see myself
and I get a little taste of life
I try to stand it for a while

But I'm in a trance
Hey baby tell me can't you hear me calling
I'm in a trance
I take too much in the Saturday night
Hey... Hey
Hey baby tell me can't you hear me calling
I'm in a trance
I wanna try to stop this life

I feel so sad I'm feeling down
On the radio the music plays
I'm in love with her and I feel fine
I close my eyes
I think today is getting better with a sip of wine
and I can stand it for a while

When I'm in a trance
Hey baby tell me can't you hear me calling
I'm in a trance
I take too much in the Saturday night
Hey... Hey
Hey baby tell me can't you hear me calling
I'm in a trance
I wanna try to stop this life

I'm in a trance
Hey baby tell me can't you hear me caling
I'm in a trance
I take too much in the Saturday night
Hey...Hey
Hey baby tell me can't you hear me calling
I'm in a trance
I wanna try to stop this life

9. Dark Lady LYRICS
Sitting alone in the doghouse
Thinking of you all the time
Sighing, crying
Sitting alone in the doghouse
Thinking of you all the time
Sighing, crying

Dark lady

Sitting alone by my window
Counting the stars of the night
Waiting, hating
Sitting alone by my window
Counting the stars of the night
Waiting, hating

Dark lady

Sitting and watching the sunrise
Darkness is filling my eyes
Sighing, crying
Sitting and watching the sunrise
Darkness is filling my eyes
Sighing, crying

Dark Lady

10. The Sails Of Charon LYRICS
Dark night! There is no light
In the realm of the black magic man
Souls flight into the cold blight
Of the destroyers magic land
Poor man! Those spirits are stronger
There the one's who will reign
Your strugglings are in vain
Blind man! You're sucking your own blood
Soon black magic's dying
You'd better start crying
Burn out! Your evil desire
The dark Angels Kingdom
Is built out of mine.
Keep on! For the Kingdom of light
There is no darkness
And there is no night
04:24
11. Virgin Killer LYRICS
Cry like you feel,
Try like you feel, feel it ...!
Try to escape,
Cry to escape, escape it ...!
It's so hard to run away
He's a virgin killer ...

No, no, no, can't you see?
No, no, no, can't you see?
You're a demon's, you're a demon's,
You're a demon's desire!

Death on the screen,
Sadistic magazines, watch out
Suicides ev'ryday,
Political ways, get it
Well, you can't find new ways ...
But he's a virgin killer ...

No, no, no, can't you see?
No, no, no, can't you see?
You're a demon's, you're a demon's,
You're a demon's desire!

Garbage in the streams,
A-bombs in your dreams, look out
Sharks in the pictures,
Exorcist prescriptions, forget it
Try to get away from that,
Cos he's a virgin killer ...

No, no, no, can't you see?
No, no, no, can't you see?
You're a demon's, you're a demon's,
You're a demon's desire!
