"SHAKIN’ / SHAKEN"
©2023HEISNERMUSIC, BMI
AIN’T NOTHING IN THIS CITY FOR A BOY LIKE ME
GOT AN APPETITE FOR ACTION LIKE A SOCIAL DISEASE
AND THE THRILL OF MY AMBITION IS THE DANGER I MEET
THE CHANCE TO RUN WITH THE PACK, TO LIVE OR DIE IN THE STREET
CHORUS:
THE WHOLE WORLD’S WAITIN’
IT’S THERE FOR THE TAKIN’
BUT THE FRUIT DON'T FALL
TILL THE TREE STARTS SHAKIN’
SHAKIN’ SHAKEN
IT’S THE SEEDS OF REBELLION GROWN TO FREEDOM GONE WILD
LIKE A HARVEST OF ANGER, REAPING DEATH WITH A SMILE
IT’S THE WAVE OF THE FUTURE, IT’S THE TIDE OF THE TIMES
FIRST A SPARK OF DESTRUCTION, SOON AN OCEAN OF FIRE
IN A HOUSE OF BROKEN MIRRORS I TOOK A DRUNKEN STAND
THAT’S WHEN YOU WALKED THROUGH GLASS TO TAKE ME BY THE HAND
WHEN I WAS SAFELY OUTSIDE WITHOUT A SCRATCH OR A SOUND
I WOULD HAVE CALLED IT A DREAM BUT THERE WAS BLOOD ON THE GROUND

"Light the Fuse"
©2023HEISNERMUSIC,BMI
GOT A FEELING THIS IS READY TO BLOW
THE PRESSURE'S OUT OF CONTROL
SOMEBODY SAID, "YOU'RE GONNA REAP WHAT YOU SOW,
NO MATTER WHAT YOU'VE BEEN TOLD."
YOU TAKE A CHANCE AND TURN YOUR BACK ON THE SUN
PRETEND YOUR SHADOW IS SHADE
BUT THAT WON'T PROTECT YOU FROM THE THINGS YOU'VE DONE
OR HIDE THE MESSES YOU'VE MADE
LIGHT THE FUSE – GOTTA SHAKE THOSE BLUES
LIGHT THE FUSE – NO MORE TIME TO LOSE
LIGHT THE FUSE – THIS IS DO OR DIE
LIGHT THE FUSE – BLOW IT ALL SKY HIGH
YOU'RE TANGLED UP BETWEEN THE THINGS YOU BELIEVE
AND WHAT WAS ACTUALLY SAID
SO DOUBLE-MINDED THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE
WHAT'S GOING ON IN YOUR HEAD
YOUR ECHO CHAMBER LEAVES YOU NUMB AND ALONE
AND BARELY ABLE TO BREATHE
YOU'RE DROWNING SLOWLY AS YOU SINK LIKE A STONE
INTO YOUR DEADLY CONCEIT
LIGHT THE FUSE – GOTTA SHAKE THOSE BLUES
LIGHT THE FUSE – NO MORE TIME TO LOSE
LIGHT THE FUSE – THIS IS DO OR DIE
LIGHT THE FUSE – BLOW IT ALL SKY HIGH
YOU HEAR A RATTLE LIKE THE CHAINS ON A SLAVE
IT CHILLS YOU DOWN TO THE BONE
YOU FIGHT YOUR BATTLES WITH ONE FOOT IN THE GRAVE
AS IF DEFENDING YOUR HOME
BUT ANYBODY CAN BE KING OF THE HILL
WHEN NO ONE ELSE IS AROUND
YOU'RE BARELY TAKING UP THE SPACE THAT YOU FILL
A SILENT HOLE IN THE SOUND
[YOU'RE JUST A HOLE IN THE SOUND]
LIGHT THE FUSE – GOTTA SHAKE THOSE BLUES
LIGHT THE FUSE – NO MORE TIME TO LOSE
LIGHT THE FUSE – THIS IS DO OR DIE
LIGHT THE FUSE – BLOW IT ALL SKY HIGH

ATOMIC

SHE GAVE ME A LOOK
SHE GAVE ME A SMILE
SHE'S STEALING THE AIR THAT I BREATHE
BUT SHE DOES IN STYLE
EVERY NERVE IS ELECTRIC
EVERY PLEASURE A PAIN
EVERY WORD THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONG
WITH THE CRUELEST REFRAIN
CHORUS:
SHE'S ATOMIC
SHE'S ATOMIC
SHE'S ATOMIC
SHE'S ATOMIC
SHE BLESSES THE EYES
SHE STRESSES THE SOUL
SHE MESSES ME UP TO THE POINT
I START LOSING CONTROL
EVERY MOVEMENT IS DANCING
EVERY PAUSE IS A PRAYER
EVERY TIME SHE WALKS BY I'M UNDONE
LIKE I'M NOT EVEN THERE
SHE'S ATOMIC
SHE'S ATOMIC
SHE'S ATOMIC
SHE'S ATOMIC
SHE'S SUCH AN ENIGMA
SHE'S SUCH A DISEASE
SHE'S UP TO HER OLD TRICKS AGAIN
AND IT'S JUST WHAT I NEED
EVERY CHANCE IS WORTH TAKING
EVERY PROMISE A THREAT
EVERY MOMENT'S A DANGER, INDEED
AND AS GOOD AS IT GETS
SHE'S ATOMIC
SHE'S ATOMIC
SHE'S ATOMIC
SHE'S ATOMIC
SHE'S ATOMIC- SHE’LL MELT YOU DOWN
SHE'S ATOMIC- SHE AIN’T MESSING’ AROUND
SHE'S ATOMIC- SHE GETS IN YOUR HEAD
SHE'S ATOMIC
SHE’S…SO…ATOMIC

"WHEN IT ALL GOES DOWN"
©2023HEISNERMUSIC, BMI
LISTEN UP
TAKE A LOOK IN THE MIRROR
TELL ME WHAT YOU SEE
DOES THE FACE OF THE DEVIL YOU KNOW
THREATEN ALL YOU BELIEVE?
JUST ANOTHER DISTRACTION
LIKE THE REDDEST OF FLAGS
YOU'D RATHER BE THE END OF THE TAIl
THAN BE THE DOG THAT IT WAGS
WHEN IT ALL GOES DOWN
WHEN IT ALL GOES DOWN
WHEN IT ALL GOES DOWN
WHEN IT ALL GOES DOWN
YOU CAN SHAKE THE FOUNDATIONS
SET THE CITY ABLAZE
RUN AMOK, AS YOU COVER AND DUCK
BUT ONLY RATTLE YOUR CAGE
WHEN IT ALL GOES DOWN
WHEN IT ALL GOES DOWN
WHEN IT ALL GOES DOWN
WHEN IT ALL GOES DOWN
GOT AN ENDLESS DEVOTION
TO THE LIES YOU EMBRACE
'TIL REALITY BOUNCES YOUR CHECK
AND WIPES THAT SMILE RIGHT OFF YOUR FACE
WHEN IT ALL GOES DOWN
WHEN IT ALL GOES DOWN
WHEN IT ALL GOES DOWN
WHEN IT ALL GOES DOWN
TAKE A LOOK IN THE MIRROR
TELL ME WHAT YOU SEE

"HOMETOWN"
©2023HEISNERMUSIC, BMI
NONE OF THE STREETS ARE
PAVED WITH GOLD
EVERYTHING'S SMALLER AND HAS
GOTTEN OLD
Only UNFAMILIAR FACES
PASSING ME ON THE STREET
REALITY'S A BITTER PILL
FOR A MEMORY SO SWEET
CHORUS:
LOOKING TO THE LEFT OF ME
AND LOOKING TO THE RIGHT
THIS LONGING FOR CONNECTION
WON'T GIVE UP WITHOUT A FIGHT
IN MY HOMETOWN
TURNING A CORNER IS LIKE
TURNING A PAGE
TELLING A STORY, LOST AND
WEATHERED WITH AGE
THE SCENES OF FORMER GLORIES,
FALLOWED GROUND NOW OVERGROWN
NOBODY WILL REMEMBER
WHEN THE PAST IS LEFT UNSOWN
(CHORUS)
TAKE ME BACK
SOLO
THE LIGHT IS FADING, AND THE
SHADOWS GROW
WHEN WE WERE YOUNGER TIME WOULD
PASS SO SLOW
THESE HOUSES ALL SEEM HAUNTED
NO MATTER WHERE I TURN
BUT I'M THE ONLY GHOST HERE
CHASING THINGS THAT NEVER WERE
CHORUS
TAKE ME HOME

FOR THE MONEY
©1981HEISNERMUSIC, BMI
I'M NOT HERE FOR THE FAME
I'M HERE FOR THE FORTUNE
AND IF IT WASN'T FOR THE MONEY
I WOULDN'T BE HERE AT ALL
I DON'T LIKE CHARITY
I'M DOING NOTHING FOR FREE
AND IF YOU'RE NOT READY TO PAY
THEN DON'T COME LOOKING FOR ME
CHORUS:
WHEELIN',… DEALIN'…
TAKE A WIFE FOR THE MONEY
RUNNIN'… GUNNIN'…
TAKE A LIFE FOR THE MONEY
LIFE IS CHEAP
AND THE STAKES ARE HIGH
REMEMBER TO DUCK
WHEN THE BULLETS FLY
IT'S A LONG HARD CLIMB
BUT IT'S WORTH THE TRY
FOR THE MONEY
DO ANYTHING THAT YOU HAVE TO DO
FOR THE MONEY
ANYTHING YOU WANT IS YOURS
IF YOU'VE GOT WHAT IT TAKES
TOO MANY PEOPLE AFRAID
OF MAKING MISTAKES
IT'S DOG EAT DOG
YOU'VE GOTTA KNOW HOW TO FIGHT
YOU'RE LIVING IN A JUNGLE
AND YOU DON'T CARE WHAT'S RIGHT
(REPEAT CHORUS)
YOU DON'T HAVE ANY FRIENDS
IF YOU WANT TO STAY AHEAD
YOU'VE GOT TO STAB THEM IN THE BACK FIRST
OR YOU'RE BETTER OFF DEAD
NOTHING'S GONNA STAND IN YOUR WAY
IF YOU'RE PLAYING TO WIN
WELCOME TO THE TOP OF THE HEAP
WON'T YOU COME ON IN

"THE RIDE OF YOUR LIFE"
©2023HEISNERMUSIC, BMI
I CAUGHT A SUNSWEPT VISION OF THE OPEN ROAD
I WANT TO RIDE THAT RIVER WHERE THE ASPHALT FLOWED
MAKE THE WIND MY LOVER, LET HER BLOW MY MIND
THERE’S FREEDOM IN THE MILES I NEVER THOUGHT I’D FIND
I GOT AHOLD OF SOMETHING THAT'LL NEVER DIE
I’M GONNA RIDE YOUR COAT-TAILS THROUGH THE NEEDLE’S EYE
TRADE AN OLD FAT CAMEL FOR A SHOOTING STAR
'CAUSE I BELIEVE THAT HEAVEN'S ANYWHERE YOU ARE
THIS IS THE RIDE OF YOUR LIFE
THIS IS THE RIDE OF YOUR LIFE
THIS IS THE RIDE, THIS IS THE RIDE, THIS IS THE RIDE
THIS IS THE RIDE OF YOUR LIFE
I’VE GOT A ONE-WAY TICKET TO THE PROMISED LAND
IT'S LIKE A DATE WITH DESTINY I NEVER PLANNED
TAKE THE CROSSROAD, HEADING THROUGH THE SETTING SUN
REMEMBER: GETTING THERE IS ONLY HALF THE FUN
I NEVER CEASE TO WONDER AT THE THINGS I'VE SEEN
IT'S LIKE A SPELL I'M UNDER, BUT IT'S NOT A DREAM
WHEN I WAS LOST I FOUND THAT I WAS NOT ALONE
I'VE NEVER BEEN MORE CERTAIN THAT I'M GOING HOME
THIS IS THE RIDE OF YOUR LIFE
THIS IS THE RIDE OF YOUR LIFE
THIS IS THE RIDE, THIS IS THE RIDE, THIS IS THE RIDE
THIS IS THE RIDE OF YOUR LIFE
FROM THE FIRST KICK-START, TO THE LAST KICKSTAND
WITH EVERY MILE THAT PASSES I'M A YOUNGER MAN
AND AS THE TRUTH RUNS WILDER THAN THE LIFE I'VE LED
I'VE LEARNED TO COUNT MY BLESSINGS THROUGH THE TEARS I'VE SHED
IF ANY ROAD COULD TAKE US TO OUR HEART'S DESIRE
I WOULD'VE BEEN THERE LONG BEFORE I GOT SO TIRED
BUT AS THIS HIGHWAY RISES UP TO MEET THE SKY
I SEE IT ALL SO CLEAR I CAN'T BELIEVE MY EYES
THIS IS THE RIDE OF YOUR LIFE
THIS IS THE RIDE OF YOUR LIFE
THIS IS THE RIDE, THIS IS THE RIDE, THIS IS THE RIDE
THIS IS THE RIDE OF YOUR LIFE

GONNA HIT THE STRIP
IN A DESERT TOWN
WHERE GOLD DUST AND PARADISE CAN BE FOUND
BEGINNERS LUCK, A BAD BEAT
A DEALERS HAND CAN END YOUR STREAK
TAKE THE RISK
HIDE YOUR SHAME
LAY IT ALL OUT
STAKE YOUR CLAIM
(Chorus)
WIN OR LOSE
WIN OR LOSE
ROLL THE DICE, PULL THE SLOT
THIS IS IT, NO SECOND SHOT
WIN OR LOSE
YOU MAKE YOUR BET
YOU TAKE YOUR CHANCE
LADY LUCK IS YOUR TRUE ROMANCE
JOKERS WILD, ACES HIGH
DON'T LET 'EM SEE IT IN YOUR EYES
THE CARDS ARE DEALT
THE CHIPS ARE IN
NOTHING LEFT IN THE CITY OF SIN
(Chorus)
JACKPOT!
solo
FILL YOUR POCKET
FEED YOUR GREED
THAT ONE ARMED BANDIT FILLS YOUR NEED
SPIN A WHEEL, PICK A SLOT
THIRTY SEVEN CHANCES TO GET YOUR SHOT
IT’S ALL RISK
OR IT’S ALL GAIN
IT’S ONE WILD RIDE ON THE MONEY TRAIN
(Chorus)

YOU’RE ON A TRIP
ON THE ROAD TO RUIN
RUNNING FROM THE THINGS YOU'VE DONE,
IT'S ONLY YOU YOU'RE FOOLIN’
THE AIR YOU BREATHE’S ON FIRE
ALL THE WORLD'S YOUR FUNERAL PYRE
AS DEATH SURROUNDS YOU WITH YOUR OWN DESIRE

YOU SPLIT THE ADAM ONE TOO MANY TIMES
NUCLEAR MELTDOWN
NUCLEAR MELTDOWN
NUCLEAR MELTDOWN
NUCLEAR MELTDOWN
ALL YOUR BRIDGES BURNED

OUR GUILT BETRAYS YOU LIKE A SMOKING GUNY

ATOMIC FREAK Atlanta, Georgia
Loud, two guitars, bass & drums, blues based rock & roll! This mysterious international group appeared from nowhere, and exploded onto the scene with their debut album NUCLEAR MELTDOWN. They obviously want to keep the greatest era of hard rock alive and well. They record nonstop in an underground studio bunker somewhere near a leaky Nuclear power plant. Join the freak club and get regular updates. ... more
