Power Ballad

I remember back in our wilder times
Before we all went our seperate ways
We would gather by the campfire
Drinking and singing the night into day
Cranking up all the 80's hair bands
From time to time those tapes still play
And I still smile when I hear power ballads
Even though they're so passe

What good is a love song if you don't have a choice
Between making out and playing air guitar?

If you still believe that every rose has its thorn
And Love Bites is more than just vampire porn
If you still think Heaven isn't too far away
If you still think it's a shame what happened to Jayne
Have a little patience, we can play it again

As we made our way to the 90's
There were new bands we'd come to know
And every passing day we noticed
More and more of them stealing the show
And sure enough, they completely took over
Don't get me wrong, the songs weren't that bad
But it's just not the same making love to grunge
It starts out steamy, but we just end up mad

I'd rather serenade my girl in a high pitched voice
It turns her on a lot more than screaming

If you died tonight, I swear to you I'd stay true
I'd fly to the angels just to be with you
Anything just to tell you love is on the way
It might take more than words, but what else can I say?
If Heartbreak Station is a place that you've been
Let's go back there, even if we're living in sin
If I take you high enough, will you stay with me
And slide next to me in silent lucidity?
If you still think Heaven isn't too far away
If you still think it's a shame what happened to Jayne
Don't cry, Angel, we can play it again...

    Let's spend the night together
    I know you want it too
    The magic of the moment
    Is what I've got for you
    The heartbeat of this night
    Is made to lose control
    And there is something in your eyes
    That's longing for some more
    Let us find together
    The beat we're looking for

    The rhythm of love
    Keeps me dancing on the road
    The rhythm of love
    Got the groove that hits the bone
    The rhythm of love
    Is the heartbeat of my soul

    Let's reach the top together
    One night will never do
    An exploding shot of pleasure
    Is what I've got for you
    Why don't you close your eyes
    And let your feeling grow
    I make you feel the taste of life
    Until your love will flow
    Let us find together
    The beat we're longing for

    The rhythm of love
    Keeps me dancing on the road
    The rhythm of love
    Got the groove that hurts the bone
    The rhythm of love
    Is the game I'm looking for
    The rhythm of love
    Is the heartbeat of my soul

    Let us find together
    The beat we're looking for.
