Live and let Die

You should be the one, the talk of the town
Fire all guns & get back up when you're down.
Roll the dice & spin the wheel
Live your life, now how does that feel?


          Don't let the world pass you by
          Grab the bull by the horns and let dirt fly!
          Stand and be counted it's time to begin
          So reach for the stars and Live to Win
          Hands in air, it's time that we fly
          We are Heroes, Live and let Die.


Reach to the depths & rise to the top
No time to waste, drink every drop
Rock the Nation & feel the power
Ring the bell; its top of the hour.
 

         
(Chorus)  (Chorus)

Starchild

He was born in the winter of 52
Up in Queens, New York. His story,
He was not born with the silver, the silver spoon.

Twenty One and plenty of time
                        
with his new found brothers, the boy-
found his partners in, his partners in crime
            Rock-n-roll is the flag unfurled
            He is the King of the nighttime world, and he’s the -

            Starchild, one and only
            Starchild, the living legend
            Starchild, hall of fame
            Starchild, remember his name

1983 and a million to one
There was no Rolling Stone, no
But he ruled the world under the gun.

Living to win and doing it right,
Now and forever, the Breeze-
This is how he rolls on crazy night
            Rock-n-roll is the flag unfurled
            He is the King of the nighttime world, and he’s the -

            Starchild, one and only
            Starchild, the living legend
            Starchild, hall of fame
            Starchild, remember his name

Crazy Wylde. 

I bleed heavy metal, Black label society
I got lightning on my fingers, I'm here to set it free

No rest for the wicked
, no time settle down
Thru the tone you'll hear my message, I've got you going round
 

It's me in this river, I was born a Hellraiser.
Witness this upon me, a soul caught on fire
 .
It don't take no Parry Mason, to hear this wall of sound

Like a fire in the sky, its Thunder Underground.

         And I'm Crazy Wylde.
          (Bridge / Solo)

No miracle man or savor, Boozed & shot to hell
King of damnation, Those that know me well.
Fire it up get started, the party's back in town
6-String on shoulder, I'm Zakk hands down!!!

          And I'm Crazy Wylde.

No Time

You see I earn my pay each and everyday
Support my family the American way
Livein’ week to week off  the crap I make
Punchin’ a clock is got to be a mistake

          Cuz I ain’t got no time and I ain’t got no money
          Sure as hell ain’t got time for you now honey.

Fast food living as sick as it sounds
Bumper , bumper traffic, feeling down
Got no time to talk as you can plainly see
So why don’t you people just leave me be

         Cuz I ain’t got no time and I ain’t got no money
         Sure as hell ain’t got time for you now honey.

Taboo

Well I see you and I feel you, touch you oh so softly there
Well you see me and you feel me, press your body close to mine.
Well Its taboo, yeah Its taboo, I'm to old & you're too young.

           Oh it’s Taboo, yeah it's Taboo

In the night, city lights, In your eyes, well I feel the power of
Love goes on, so strangers are you and
I see truth, see passion with you and
I we know life’s cruel

         Oh it’s Taboo, yeah it's Taboo
Well Its taboo, yeah Its taboo, I'm to old & you're too young.
         Oh it’s Taboo, yeah it's Taboo

James Tyler, 2000

Fire

It runs thru our veins like a crazy train. 50 thousand watts, blowing your brain.
Pedal to the floor, shut the front door, lick it all up right.
When push comes to shove, going gets tough. The best in the business, Rockin’ that stuff.
Party with the best, drink with the rest, rock and roll all night.

    When the lights come on and sun goes down, shift gears, smokin' this town. We are:
     Fire – light my fuse
     Fire – Born to raise hell yeah
     Fire – Burn it to the ground
     Fire – Yeah, we are – Fire  

A big bad motor with the thunder sound, Turn the key, burning it down.
Here we go hit the floor say it loud, say no more, burning it down.
Bang bang BOOM get out of your room, crazy hot night here for you
Living fast dying young fuel the fire feeling strong, Bang bang BOOM!
    Chorus

James Tyler,  2011

Mr. Crazy Man

Now your words fill my head as the sound pumps my veins, I can hear it over an’ over again.
Through the whispering wind I can hear you call from over the mountain.
Holy men of god striketh thee down, crucify you with your life.
Well it aint no bitch to me what you get is what you see, Rock-n-roll is my religion.

     Oh Mr. Crazy Man, can you help me now
     Oh Mr. Crazy Man, dancing like a clown
     Oh Mr. Crazy Man, can you help me soon
     Oh Mr. Crazy Man, barking at the moon

Well the Fabulous four from which you had came, spawned your presence on earth.
In the center of it all you are god, you are king, from now to eternity.
Banging your head,Waking the dead, Reading between the lines.
Catch you if I can, maybe in time, yeah maybe on the other side.

    Chorus

I need to go crazy, crazy, crazier then you
I need to go crazy, crazy, crazy howl at the moon

    Chorus

James Tyler – 2001

Distant Warning

A battle shout form the warrior rage, heroic strike sundering blades
Blistering heat from a blistering sky, a warlocks cures a demons cry
Marching on to kill the beast, times run out a shadow priest

          Danger swells from miles away upon his thrown he rules the day
          Can you feel it, can you see, will you heed the Distant Warning

Critical strikes a thunderous roar, Paladins hammer sounds of war
Draw your sword and steady your shield, charge your stead into the killing fields
Remember the songs of yesterday, think and home and the burning crusade.

          Danger swells from miles away upon his thrown he rules the day
          Can you feel it, can you see, will you heed the Distant Warning

James Tyler, 2007

Thunder in Paradise

The book was written for you and me, Things to come for we will see
A world of waste an' misery, A dance with death won't set you free  oh-no
Thunder and lightning bury the bones, Fire in the sky now where's your soul
Bleeding skies as red as wine, Say your prayer for the seventh sign  oh-yea

     That's why there's thunder tonight, That's why there's thunder tonight
     That's why there's thunder in paradise, Tonight

Turn the pages an watch them fly, Time and space are we all blind
Evil creeping across the land, Blood on the streets, blood on our hands, our hands

     That's why there's thunder tonight, That's why there's thunder tonight
     That's why there's thunder in paradise, Tonight

 

Well all you people living in this world, It's not just fate its destiny  -(solo)

A trumpets blow and the horsemen ride, One last chance to save your life
Angels light shines upon the earth and Now again as was first   yea- yea

     That's why there's thunder tonight, That's why there's thunder tonight
     That's why there's thunder in paradise, Tonight

James Tyler, 1996

Heatbeat of a Nightmare

Deep down in the depths of my mine, creeping allaround the world
She stalks me in the day time and she stalks me in the night.
My heart beats out of rhythm as I gasp for the air
No time run and hide as she goes into a stare
and it's a-

Heartbeat of a nightmare - Burning in my soul, can'tyou see that it's a-
Heartbeat of a nightmare - The devil owns the show, oh god no, now it's a-
Heartbeat of a nightmare - That just won't let me go, let me go now.

Slipping thru the shadows & hiding from the day
My bones feel the power I'm the stalker not the prey.
My heart beats out of rhythm as I gasp for the air
No time run and hide as I go into a stare

Chorus

Sounds thru the moonlight and whispers in the air
Times come for madness, the prince of despair.
My heart beats out of rhythm as I gasp for the air
No time run and hide as I go into a stare
and it's a-

Chorus

James Tyler, 1999
