LYRICS:
1.) BLACK ON BLACK
(Dalbello)
Drums: Scott Humphrey, Dalbello
Bass: Steve Webster
Keyboards & Hammond B-3: Dalbello
Guitar: Asher Horowitz
Backing Vocals: Dalbello
PPG/HDD: Scott Humphrey
Some things are so sacred...
Black On Black
A pretty little altar boy
Daddy's little pride and joy
Change the water into wine
Touch yourself and you'll go blind
A warning signal from above
A place where sinner's fall in love
They say that opposite's attract
So very strange:
Black On Black
CHORUS
Like pleasure and a little pain
The sacred and profane
Like a blasphemous contract
Just like Black On Black
A virginal trembling hand
A frightened sacrificial lamb
From a blinding light a shadow falls
A code of silence quakes the halls
A whisper to a piercing scream
A love that's way too frightening
They say that opposites attract
So very strange:
Black On Black
CHORUS
Like pleasure and a little pain
The sacred and profane
Like a blasphemous contract
Just like Black On Black
Change the water into wine
Touch yourself and you'll go blind
They say that opposites attract
So very strange:
Black On Black
BREAKDOWN
Some things are so sacred...
Like a leading question
The power of suggestion
Like the face of danger
Like the kindness of a stranger
Like a Judas Kiss
Like pleasure and a little pain
Immaculate seduction
Absolute corruption
Like a blasphemous contract
No turning back
Like Black On Black
Black On Black
Black On Black
2.) BABY DOLL
(Dalbello)
Drums: Dalbello
Bass: Steve Webster
Keyboards: Dalbello, Scott Humphrey
Guitar: Asher Horowitz
Backing Vocals: Dalbello
You wanted her to "hush-my-baby"
You wanted her to paint her lips
You wanted her for always - maybe
Smooth as china on your fingertips
CHORUS
She -
Don't wanna be
Your Baby Doll
She - ooh lay
Don't wanna be
Your Baby Doll
She traded in her matrimony
For a little bit of company
You're fighting like a tired soldier
You're hanging on too tightly
You wanted her to leave a-you breathless
Like a-something from another world
She's feeling just a little restless
'Cause she can't stop acting like a little girl
No she can't stop acting like a little girl
CHORUS
She -
Don't wanna be
Your Baby Doll
She - ooh lay
Don't wanna be
Your Baby Doll
BRIDGE
The trouble is you turn away from her before she wakes up
The subtle look on her face disappears without a trace of...
You end up looking through her when she washes off her make-up
And she don't feel very beautiful
CHORUS
She -
Don't wanna be
Your Baby Doll
She - ooh lay
Don't wanna be
Your Baby Doll
She -
All quiet, she do what you want
Don't wanna be your baby...
Don't wanna be your Baby Doll
She - ooh lay
Don't wanna be
Your Baby Doll
3.) TALK TO ME
(Dalbello)
Drums: Steve Kendry
Chapman Stick: Fergus Marsh
Bass: Steve Webster
Keyboards: Dalbello, Scott Humphrey
Guitar: Asher Horowitz
Backing Vocals: Anita Rossi
I lay beside your body quietly
But I feel as restless as these bedroom sheets
I'm not talking in my sleep
I'm not promising to keep my secrets safe and warm
But something's swept inside me like this calm before the storm
CHORUS
If you sense anticipation
Show me where you're coming from
This is a one-way conversation
Talk To Me please
Talk To Me (yeah)
All the silence in the world don't bother you
My words weave in and out and slip right through
I stutter when I speak
It's impossible to keep these things from showing through
'Cause sometimes I don't want to disappear inside of you
CHORUS
If you sense anticipation
Show me where you're coming from
This is a one-way conversation
Talk To Me please
Talk To Me
(Talk To Me)
Show me where you're coming from
Don't close your eyes when my heart opens
Talk To Me please
Talk, Talk To Me
BRIDGE
I should've wakened you
I should've said I'm hurtin'
Instead of shaking when I'm feeling so uncertain
I should've locked the door
I should've shut the window
Instead of staying up and crying on my pillow
CHORUS
If you sense anticipation
Show me where you're coming from
This is a one-way conversation
Talk To Me, talk
Will you Talk To Me?
Talk To Me
Show me where you're coming from
This is a one-way conversation
Talk To Me...
Talk to...
Talk To Me
Ooh...
Show me where you're coming from
Don't close your eyes when my heart opens
Talk to me, talk
Talk To Me
4.) DANGER DANGER
(Dalbello)
Drums: Kevan McKenzie
Bass: Steve Webster
Keyboards: Dalbello, Scott Humphrey
Guitar: Asher Horowitz
Backing Vocals: Dalbello
African sandals
Cafe across the street
My vision trembles
Like an animal in heat
This ain't no kind of place for a temporary debutante
This ain't no kind of place for a woman do don't know what she want
I wanna do something dangerous
Walk right in the shadow
I just think about the thrill and how it terrifies me...
CHORUS
Danger Danger
Got to feel the threshold
Danger Danger
(woh-oh-oh)
Danger Danger
Overload
Danger Danger
In the heart of the Congo
The riverbeds run deep
Deep inside this woman there's a hungry heart
Burning for a little savagery
I wanna do something dangerous
Walk right through the shadow
I just think about the thrill and how it terrifies me!
CHORUS
Danger Danger
Got to feel the threshold
Danger Danger
(woh-oh-oh)
Danger Danger
Overload
Danger Danger
BRIDGE
I do what I like
I like what I do, just what I want
All my life...
I wanna bite the hand that feeds me,
Bite it right off
I wanna lick my wounds
'Til this feeling stops
I wanna do something dangerous
Walk right through the shadow
I just think about the thrill
The thrill I get, and it terrifies me!
CHORUS
Danger Danger
Got to feel the threshold
Danger Danger
(woh-oh-oh)
Danger Danger
Overload
Danger Danger

Sensitive word
A catch in your voice
Slow temper rise
Above the noise
My ear to the wall
I hear you laugh
Nobody hears
The other half
The other half...
CHORUS
I know Intimate Secrets
Something about you
All your Intimate Secrets...
I know Intimate Secrets
Something about you
All your Intimate Secrets
Everything spins
When you close your eyes
Nobody ever told you
Otherwise
How can I watch your precious world
Scatter like a broken,
Scatter like a broken string of pearls
CHORUS
I know Intimate Secrets
Something about you
All your Intimate Secrets...
I know Intimate Secrets
Something about you
All your Intimate Secrets
BRIDGE
Do you see through the wall that divides us?
Who hears who from behind the shelter that hides us?
Two closed doors and the floor below me
You walk by and just the same, you don't even know me
CHORUS
I know Intimate Secrets
Something about you
All your Intimate Secrets...
I know Intimate Secrets
Something about you
All your Intimate Secrets

Your arms rest upon my shoulders
You're hypnotized
Never try to break my stare
Put your mouth on mine
Your back arched low
Your skin feels tight
A sudden urge within
Pulsate, pulsate
You and I begin
To tango skin to skin
CHORUS
Feel the drama rise
Look deep into my eyes
Let's Tango, we Tango
Let the rhythm spin you
Feel it deep within you
Let's Tango, let's Tango
Let's Tango
We Tango
You and me Tango!
Tango! Tango!
I... trace your figure in the darkness
Your bodyheat breathing deep in danger
Wrap your fingertips
'Round the back of my neck
Your eyes shut tight
My cigarette
Tastes sweet
Heartbeat, heartbeat
You and I begin
To tango skin to skin
CHORUS
Whisper 'til we scream
Our shadows in the moonbeam
Let's Tango, we Tango
Surrender your alarm
And fall into my arms
Let's Tango, let's Tango,
Let's Tango
We Tango
You and me Tango!
Tango! Tango!
BRIDGE
When the rhythm's real slow
And our bodies feel close
You wanna put your mouth on mine,
Wanna put your mouth on mine
Feel the drama rise
Look deep into my eyes
Let's Tango...
7.) BODY AND SOUL
(Dalbello/Asher Horowitz)
Drums: Dalbello
Bass: Dalbello
Keyboards: Dalbello, Scott Humphrey
Guitar: Kevin Breit
I'll be like a compass and guide you
If you hold me in your hand
You drift into dangerous water
I will point you to dry land
Rain upon me 'til you pour
Like a wave I'll carry you to shore
You ran with a lyrical rhythm
That you haven't felt in years
Your faith came unraveling 'round you
It surrounded you with fear
And when you find yourself in doubt
Look into yourself and shout it out
With your
CHORUS
Body and Soul
Follow what's deep inside of you
Body and Soul
Don't let anything else divide you
Follow the roll
With your Body and Soul
I saw you looking out of the window
You were standing from within
You broke down the door, when it opened
A whole lifetime flooded in
It rains upon you 'til it pours
Like a wave it carries you to shore
With your
CHORUS
Body and Soul
Follow what's deep inside of you
Body and Soul
Don't let anything else divide your
Body and Soul
Your Body and Soul
BRIDGE
You gather up the strength enough to stand tall
Arms outstretched like the branches of a willow
Make yourself complete
And grow until your hands and face
Begin to take shape
Regain your independence when you
Embrace your body...
CHORUS
Body and Soul
Like a compass it will try to guide you
Body and Soul
Follow what's deep inside of you
Body and Soul
Don't let anything else divide your
Body and Soul

Swing your partner to the left and right
Spin the circle through the dead of night
Lose yourself when you close your eyes
Now everybody gonna fall in line
CHORUS
Leave a little something to your Imagination
Even though you can't see through the writing
Leave a little something to your Imagination
Even though you can't see through the writing
Move together when the voices call
Pray for mercy till you stand or fall
Love is easy when you give and take
C'mon, c'mon for everyone's sake
CHORUS
Leave a little something to your Imagination
Even though you can't see through the writing
Leave a little something to your Imagination
Even though you can't see through the writing

Sons and daughters
Like walking on water
No hesitation
For your imagination

Leave a little something to your Imagination
Even though you can't see through the writing

Move to the left
Move to the right
Close your eyes
No compromise
Leave something to your Imagination...
9.) WHY STAND ALONE
(Dalbello)
Drums: Dalbello
Bass: Steve Webster
Keyboards: Dalbello, Scott Humphrey
Guitar: Kevin Breit
Backing Vocals: Dalbello
Who's riding that wave?
Who's been swept away?
You've been sailing solo
Dragging that undertow
I can see through
Your bravado
I can free you
From that ghost
I can see you
Right behind your shadow
CHORUS
Why Stand Alone?
Why Stand Alone?
I wanna take you home with me, so
Why Stand Alone?
It don't make you weak
To show me you need
I wanna take you home with me, so
Why Stand Alone?
Faded silhouette
Betrays your secret
You've been licking your wounds
You are not immune
I can see through
Your bravado
I can free you
From that ghost
I can see you
Right behind your shadow
CHORUS
Why stand alone?
Why stand alone?
I wanna take you home with me, so
Why Stand Alone?
It don't make you weak
To show me you need
I wanna take you home with me, so
Why Stand Alone?
BRIDGE
I can see that your eyes
Are sensitive to the light
Step away from the dark
You're not invisible - invisible
Sometimes we need
A little room to breath
Sometimes we need
A little gravity - gravity
CHORUS
Why Stand Alone?
Why Stand Alone?
I wanna take you home with me, so
Why Stand Alone?
It don't make you weak
To show me you need
I wanna take you home with me, so
Why Stand Alone?
10.) IMMACULATE EYES
(Dalbello)
Drums: Dalbello
Bass: Scott Humphrey
Keyboards: Dalbello, Scott Humphrey
Guitar: David Gilmour
You're impatient
I get bored when there's no
conversation - I
Lose desire 'cause you're
Not what you appear to be
Not what you appear to be
Imperfection has left no trace upon you
Your reflection, you depend upon it
You might be beautiful but what's behind it?
You have a pretty face but what are you hiding?
CHORUS
I'd rather stare at the stains on my window
Than look into those
Immaculate Eyes
I'd rather gaze at the dust on my pillow
Than look into those
Immaculate Eyes
Invitation
Signals you are sending
Hesitation
Like a never ending
Vertigo inside of me
Vertigo...
No doubt I could look at you for hours
But it's no good when good looks overpower
You might be beautiful but what's behind it?
You have a pretty face but what are you hiding?
CHORUS
I'd rather stare at the stains on my window
Than look into those
Immaculate Eyes
I'd rather gaze at the dust on my pillow
Than look into those
Immaculate Eyes
BRIDGE
If there's more to you than meets the eye
Why can't I find it?
You laugh sweetly
When I ask you if your beauty's skin deep
SOLO
I'd rather gaze at the dust
On my pillow that look into those eyes...
CHORUS TAG
Your Immaculate Eyes
Immaculate Eyes
Your Immaculate Eyes
Immaculate Eyes
