Lightning Strikes Twice Run for your life The sky is coming down As thunder rocks the sky If you choose to stay you never will be found When my fire burns the night Keep your eyes open baby It’s your turn tonight Lightning strikes twice… It lights the darkness of the night Heat is rising as you’re moving up for air As you move to get on top Almost over but you don’t really care You don’t ever want to stop Close your eyes baby There will be another night Lightning strikes twice It lights the darkness of the night Run for your life The sky is coming down As thunder rocks the skies If you choose to stay you never will be found When my fire burn tonight Close your eyes baby There will be another night Lightning strikes twice It lights the darkness of the night Keep your eyes open baby It’s your turn tonight Lightning strikes twice It lights the darkness of the night Close your eyes baby There will be another night Lightning strikes twice It lights the darkness of the night

You Got Me Running You got me running Girl I’m hiding from you You got me backing up a step or two I know your wondering When I’m gonna give in You’ll be waiting a long time Girl no-one plays with me and wins…. You got me running You got me running I think its time that we ended this game And I have a feeling you feel the same You think you know what class is I doubt you do Well girl you know that I’m through with trying to get into you….. You got me running You got me running Take my advice leave and don’t come back Nothing here is left for you Turn around girl, don’t come back…. ‘Cause I know you’re wondering When I’m gonna give in You’ll be waiting a long time Girl no-one plays with me and wins…. You got me running Now that you’ve fulfilled your fantasies Better run stay far away from me You tell me I never want to be seen again Well let me tell you baby I do, I never want to be with you….. You got me running

You’d better get outta my way I told you once before I won’t tell you again So get outta my way Heard your voice scream in the night Now I know that the time is right Step into my trap you’ll see And there’s no-one else around but me Got you on the top of my list Don’t try to run You can never fight it Girl, I told you once before You better get outta my way Coming back just to get to you!

Last Chance Tonight Time is running out now Can’t you feel it in the air? Show’s almost over Take a chance now if you dare – Girls are lookin’ better as the evening fades away, You know you’ve got to find someone There’s got to be a way And you say, you say…. Come on now, honey – I see it in your eyes Come on how honey – you look so divine Come on now honey – so why put up a fight? Come on now honey - Gotta get your nerve up boys The girls won’t wait all night Doesn’t matter who it is by now they all look right Funny how it seems to me That the guys take all the blame Only once I’d like to hear some girl say “What’s your name”? And you say, you say… Come on now, honey –I see it in your eyes Come on now honey – you look so divine Come on now honey – you want me tonight? Come on now honey – it’s your last chance tonight, tonight….

Go Ahead and Laugh They see the world through dull lifeless eyes Walking in rhythm, often hypnotized I can’t understand why they don’t know That they’re all part of a well rehearsed sideshow Often outcast, often treated wrong But they’ll be looking up to me before too long They all think that they have it made Living their lives just to make the grade So go ahead and laugh, the jokes on you You should only see the world the way that I do – Go ahead and laugh, I’m moving up fast What will they say when I’m laughing last? Nothing is easy, nothing’s handed out But I’ll be the best at what I do, I have no doubt Treating life as if it really isn’t there It always seems to them that I don’t really care Often outcast, often treated wrong But they’ll be looking up to me before too long They all think that they have it made Living their lives just to make the grade So go ahead and laugh, ‘cause the joke’s on you You should only see the world the way that I do – Go ahead and laugh, I’m moving up fast What will they say when I’m laughing last? Go ahead and laugh, the joke’s on you You should only see the world the way I do Go ahead and laugh, I’m moving up fast What will they say when I’m laughing last? Life’s too short to live for someone else…… Live each day just to satisfy yourself They say they’re free but they play by the rules If that’s the case then they’re independent fools! Often outcast, often treated wrong But they’ll be looking up to me before too long They all think that they have it made Living their lives just to make the grade Go ahead and laugh, the joke’s on you- You should only see the world the way I do Go ahead and laugh, I’m moving up fast What will they say when I’m laughing last? Go ahead and laugh, the joke’s on you You should only see the world the way I do Go ahead and laugh, I’m moving up fast What will they say when I’m laughing last? Go ahead and laugh -

Breaking Away Breaking away at last I’m running free Nightmares of the past I’ll set you free Everybody’s looking for me I’m after you again And I’m close behind Don’t stop to wonder when ‘Cause you’re losing your mind Trying to run, but you’re blind Run ‘cause they’re close behind Run away I’m after you again And I’m close behind Don’t stop to wonder when ‘Cause you’re losing your mind Trying to run, but you’re blind Run, ‘cause they’re close behind Run away Breaking away at last I’m running free Nightmares of the past I’ll set you free Everybody’s looking for me Run, ‘cause I’m close behind Run away \

Another Shot in the Dark Oh you know I’ve tried so many times Get you where I really want But all I ever get is your backtalk Baby you really really love to taunt Don’t want to talk about it baby Don’t want to get in a fight And I don’t want to hear That you can’t make it honey ‘Cause you’re in for a hell of a night Ooh I just want to take another….shot in the dark Ooh I just want to take another….shot in the dark I’ve got to find another way to get myself over you ‘Cause I’ve had enough of that backtalk baby Just show me what you really can do Don’t want to talk about it baby Don’t want to get in a fight And I don’t want to hear That you can’t make it honey ‘Cause you’re in for a hell of a night Oh I just want to take another….shot in the dark Oh I just want to take another….shot in the dark Ooh I just want to take another….shot in the dark Ooh I just want to take another….shot in the dark Yeah, I just want to take another….shot in the dark So come on, why don’t we take another…shot in the dark

Waste No Time Don’t want to waste no more time Now honey I’ll leave it up to you You talked enough You’d better move in fast Or baby you’re through Don’t want to listen to no more false excuses You’re running out of lines You’re running out of explanations You’re running out of time… Waste no time Waste no time Waste…. no time You know you’re really so confusing You change from day to day First you come on really strong And then you back away Well if you need someone To show you how to do it right Well just relax and have a drink And stay with me tonight Waste no time Waste no time Waste…no time Ain’t gonna waste no more time honey Cause I’ve left it up to you You’ve talked enough You didn’t move in fast So baby you’re through Ain’t gonna listen to any more excuses You ran out of lines You ran out of explanations You ran out of time Waste no time Waste no time Waste no time Waste no time Waste no time

Lady Killer 05:54
Lady Killer The night I first saw you I could see the magic in your eyes Thought you’d be like everybody else But girl you caught me by surprise You with your black satin pants You walk the night You know what it takes to make it right Girl I know you’re such a lady – Everybody else I met can’t burn my heart Your fires’ just too much So now that I’ve got you It’s time for me to take away your touch You with your black satin pants You walk the night You know what it takes to make it right Girl I know you’re such a Lady Killer! Oh, you with those black satin pants You walk the night You know what it takes to make it right Girl I know you’re such a Lady Killer Tonight is the night I get to do those things I really want to do Got you where I want you All alone girl it’s just me and you You with those black satin pants You stalk the night You’ve got what it takes to make it right Girl, I know you’re such a Lady Killer Lady Killer……

about

The Briefing – by J. D'Imperio



(ENTER THE DRAGON)

Before there was a LADY KILLER, there was White Dragon.

“Dragon”, as the band was locally known as a familiar sight on the NYC music scene in the late 70s and early 80s. The “circuit” as it was called it back then consisted of some of the most recognizable clubs in rock history: Maxes Kansas City, CBGB’s, Great Gildersleeves etc. ...and hosted bands that would one day become household names: Talking Heads, Blondie, The Police and The Clash. But to us, the real alternative music of the day sounded more like The Ramones, Johnny Thunders, The Sex Pistols and Dead Boys. So it’s no coincidence that when Billboard Magazine reviewed the LADY KILLER record they said: “Lady Killer’s self-titled debut record is a raw and fast-paced experience which often crosses over to the punk realm”. We always thought of ourselves as a hard rock band but the influence of punk was certainly on that record. There was no escaping it.



(LADY KILLER)

By 1982 White Dragon had run its course and metal was just about to explode.

Iron Maiden and Judas Priest had gone from playing three-thousand seat venues to twenty-thousand seat venues in a matter of months and record companies were looking for bands to sign. Luckily for us, the guys from Allegiance Records were at one of the first LADY KILLER shows and signed us on the spot. Right place right time indeed, so we ran with it.



(LADY KILLER - LADY KILLER AV477)

We were given 7-days……that was it; only 7-days to make a record.

Because of time and budget constraints the decision was made to record the album “live” in the studio with very few overdubs. (Record for 4…mix for 3) That was the game plan and we stuck to it. To say the album is raw is an understatement, but it’s a time capsule.

And for better or worse, warts and all, it was distributed worldwide in 1983.
