Rock Aliens Song Lyrics

OPENHEARTED

By Real Life

From Real Life's self-titled album.

The music video appears on the German special edition DVD and blu-ray.

Real Life is best known for their song "Send Me An Angel" (which was a hit in both 1984 and 1989).

Don't walk out openhearted

Dream on in silent night

Don't wake up unguarded

In love hold on tight

Unfolding your life

So young golden teens

You only have time for love

Or so it seems

Sad day she stays openhearted

She plays she stays openhearted

Sleep on stranger in your arms

Unfolding night have no fear

From me tonight

Crash landing your heart

So loud no one hears

You crying no sound

Let go a thousand tears

WHEN THE RAIN BEGINS TO FALL

By Jermaine Jackson and Pia Zadora

From the Voyage of the Rock Aliens soundtrack

A vast array of remixes were also issued.

The stand-alone music video appears on several DVD releases and on the German blu-ray.

This is the only song from the soundtrack album which is currently legally available for purchase at online merchants.

Like the sand can seep right through your fingers so can all your day

As those days go by you'll have me there to help you find the way.

The way I feel with you I know it's got to last forever.

And when the rain begins to fall you'll ride my rainbow in the sky

And I will catch you if you fall you'll never have to ask me why.

And when the rain begins to fall I'll be the sunshine in your life

You know that we can have it all and everything will be all right.

Time goes by so fast

You've got to have a dream

To just hold on.

All my dreams of love began

With the reality of you.

You and I believe

That all our dreams will last forever.

And when the rain begins to fall . . .

Though the sun may hide

We still can see

The light that shines for you and me

We'll be together all that we can be.

And when the rain begins to fall you'll ride my rainbow in the sky

And I will catch you if you fall you'll never have to ask me why.

And when the rain begins to fall I'll be the sunshine in your life

You know that we can have it all and everything will be all right.

21st Century

by Rhema

from the Voyage of the Rock Aliens Soundtrack

This is the band's only song to be officially issued on disc.

The album version differs from the movie mix, and a third slightly-different version was later leaked online.

The music video appears on the German Special Edition DVD and blu-ray.

We used to sit around at night watching old time movie shows

Philosophize and analyze what we didn’t know

No, no

You didn’t know

(We didn’t know)

We didn’t know

(We didn’t know)

What did you think?

(What did you think?)

We didn’t think at all

We had the world in the palm of our hand

Then we turned around and dropped it

They tore it apart, then we up and ran

Cuz we knew we couldn’t stop it, oh no

Where will we all be (Where will we be)

In the twenty-first century?

And now I sit at home alone watching new wave videos

Philosophize then realize that I’ll never know

No, no

We’ll never know

(We’ll never know)

I’ll never know

(I’ll never know)

What do you think?

(What do you think?)

I still don’t think at all

We had the world in the palm of our hand

Then we turned around and dropped it

They tore it apart then we up and ran

Cuz we knew we couldn’t stop it, oh no

Where will we all be (Where will we be)

In the twenty-first century

In the twenty-first century

In the twenty-first century

In the twenty-first century

In the twenty-first century

In the twenty-first century

Hey-ay-hey-yeah

Rich moss hangin’ from a big old tree

Down the Mississippi, down to New Orleans

Hey-ay-ay-yeah

I said hey-hey-yeah-yeah

Come on, everybody take a trip with me

Gotta go down the Mississippi, down to New Orleans

That’s where my honeysuckle blooming on the honeysuckle vine

REAL LOVE

By Pia Zadora

From Pia Zadora's album Let's Dance Tonight.

The music video appears on the German blu-ray.

Some people think they can get by

Given just the minimum love

Some people think they’ll be all right

Livin’ with less than enough

But I don’t wanna settle for less!

I don’t wanna settle for second best!

I want real love, real love, that’s what I want

Never ending, never empty, full to the top

Real love, real love, all that you got

That’s what I want!

So many times I’ve ended up like this

Givin’ out the ultimatum

Wonderin’ where I am and where you’ve been

Are we losin’ the sweet sensation?

There’s so many questions in mind

But only one answer there I can find

I want real love, real love, that’s what I want

Never ending, never empty, full to the top

Real love, real love, all that you got

That’s what I want!

The darkest places glow with candle light

It all erases the wrong you couldn’t right

I want real love, real love, that’s what I want

Never ending, never empty, full to the top

Real love, real love, all that you got

Just give me real love, real love, that’s what I want

Never ending, never empty, full to the top

Real love, real love, all that you got

I want real love, real love, that’s what I want

Never ending, never empty, full to the top

Real love, real love, all that you got

Just give me real love, real love, that’s what I want

Never ending, never empty, full to the top

Real love, real love, all that you got

That’s what I want!

by 3-Speed

From the Voyage of the Rock Aliens Soundtrack.

The music video appears on the German Special Edition DVD & Blu-Ray.

3-Speed is best known for performing the title song to the '80s Jim Carrey flick "Once Bitten."

Someone has taken your love

It's true, isn't it?

It's not just talk that I hear

And when I see her build her world around you

I know the end is near

You tell me that I'm wrong

And it's all in my mind

You've known all along

And it just makes my blood run wild

And I'm dying

So I'm back, I'm back on the street

Yes, I'm back to find somebody new

Yes, I'm back, back on the street

Now I'm back and I'm over you

You took my love and all that I live for

I see it in your eyes

And when I see you walkin' out that door now

Another part of me dies

It's time to move on

And I know it's the sort of

Feeling is gone

And I won't be hurt anymore

And I'm not gonna fall

So I'm back, I'm back on the street

Yes, I'm back to find somebody new

Now I'm back, I'm back on the street

Yes, I'm back and I'm over you

You tell me that I'm wrong

And it's all in my mind

You've known all along

And it just makes my blood run wild

And I'm dyin

So I'm back, I'm back on the street

Yes, I'm back to find somebody new

So I'm back, I'm back on the street

Yes, I'm back and I'm over you

Oooh, I'm back, I'm back on the street

Yes, I'm back to find somebody new

Oh, I'm back, I'm back on the street

Yes, I'm back and I'm over you

So I'm back, I'm back on the street

Said I'm back to find somebody new

Oooh, I'm back, back on the street...

THAT'S LIFE

by Rhema

Officially unreleased, but leaked online decades later.

Biding our time, towing the line always

Flow with the rhythm, be part of the system, they say

Handing out numbers, then throwing our names away

Losers and winners, the saints and the sinners all say

That's life

That's life

That's life

That's life

That's life

That's life

That's life

That's life

Hiding inside, keeping an ear to the wall

Ignoring what matters for things that don't matter at all

Craving control, searching for something to say

Find an illusion, preserve the confusion always

That's life

That's life

That's life

That's life

That's life

That's life

That's life

YOU BRING OUT THE LOVER IN ME

By Pia Zadora

From Pia Zadora's album Let's Dance Tonight

The music video appears on the German Blu-Ray.

Made up my mind the last time

I was gonna let you go

Next time you did me wrong I was gonna be strong

If you came back, thought I'd say no

Deadbolt lock on the front door

I called and had my number changed

But all defenses fail when you rang on my bell

Now look who's holding who again

Oh, but you bring out the lover in me

I just can't help myself when you're around

The talk is tough but the body's so weak

You bring out the lover in me

You bring out the lover in me

Deadbolt locks on the front door

So don't you try my number again

My protection is gone, I don't wanna be strong

So try your lovin' tactics again

Oh, 'cause you bring out the lover in me

I just can't help myself when you're around

The talk is tough but the body's so weak

You bring out the lover in me

You bring out the lover in me

See your face, yeah, yeah

Hear your voice, yeah, yeah

Lose my cool like a fool

'Cause I got no choice, yeah, yeah, yeah

You bring out the lover in me

I just can't help myself when you're around

The talk is tough but the body's so weak

You bring out the lover in me

You bring out the lover in me

I just can't help myself when you're around

The talk is tough but the body's so weak

You bring out the lover in me

You bring out the lover in me

I just can't help myself when you're around

The talk is tough but the body's so weak

You bring out the lover in me

Open up your heart give me - always.

Sometimes I don't even have to call her name

We don't make promises, it's just a game.

Always no pretending

We know our love is forever.

LITTLE BIT OF HEAVEN

by Pia Zadora and Mark Spiro

From the Voyage of the Rock Aliens Soundtrack.

A solo version was issued on Zadora's album "Let's Dance Tonight."

A "work in progress" music video (with alternate footage/fx) was issued on the German Special Edition DVD.

An alternate music video (closer to the film version) was later issued on the German Blu-Ray.

I used to wonder how everybody other than me found someone to love.

They must have been given a stroke of a little bit of luck.

But deep in my heart was a place and a part

That only the right one could fill.

Well my prayers must have all gone through

'Cause somebody up there sent me you.

Now I've found my little bit of heaven

I'm feeling like an angel.

'Cause now I've found my little bit of heaven

I'm feeling more than able

To give you all the secrets nobody ever knew

And put the past behind me

Forget about what I have been through

'Cause now I've found my little bit of heaven in you.

Now every day just shows another way

How a little bit of love can grow

Through the sunshine and rain

And the ups and the downs

And the highs and the lows.

But I'll just keep believing in the love we've been feeling

And take one day at a time

'Cause my prayers have all come true

'Cause somebody up there sent me you.

Now I've found my little bit of heaven

I'm feeling like an angel.

'Cause now I've found my little bit of heaven

I'm feeling more than able

To give you all the secrets nobody ever knew

And put the past behind me

Forget about what I have been through

'Cause now I've found my little bit of heaven in you.

Now that I've found my little bit of heaven

I'm feeling like an angel

'Cause now that I've found my little bit of heaven

I'm feeling more than able.

To give you all the secrets nobody ever knew

To put the past behind me

Forget about what I have been through

'Cause now that I've found my little bit of heaven in you

Now that I've found my little bit of heaven

I'm feeling like an angel.

Now that I've found my little bit of heaven

I'm feeling more than able

Now that I've found my little bit of heaven

I'm feeling like an angel.

Now that I've found my little bit of heaven

I'm feeling more than able

SHE DOESN'T MEAN A THING TO ME

by Mark Spiro

From the Voyage of the Rock Aliens Soundtrack.

The music video was issued on the German special edition DVD and blu-ray.

I didn't mean to do it

Don't know what came over me

I thought I could resist her

Some things you can't guarantee

I was alone in the night

Needing some attention to carry me through

Such an irresistible sight

But honey, she could never take the place of you

She doesn't mean (she doesn't mean) a thing to me

She caught me by surprise when the moon was shining in her eyes

So baby, save the third degree

She doesn't mean a thing to me

I didn't stand a chance

I couldn't seem to get away

She cast her magic at me

In a total disarray

Now you know the truth of it all

That's the story, there isn't anything more

Even chosen angels can fall

So honey, don't you turn and walk out of that door

She doesn't mean (she doesn't mean) a thing to me

She caught me by surprise when the moon was shining in her eyes

So baby, save the third degree

She doesn't mean a thing to me

Only an overnight fling

She doesn't mean anything

She doesn't mean a, doesn't mean a thing to me

She caught me by surprise when the moon was shining in her eyes

So baby, save the third degree

She doesn't mean a thing to me

She doesn't mean a, doesn't mean a thing to me

She caught me by surprise when the moon was shining in her eyes

So baby, save the third degree

She doesn't mean a thing to, thing to

She doesn't mean a thing to me

COME ON

By Jimmy and the Mustangs

The movie itself is the only place to get this song.

Hey everybody, have you heard the word?

Someone's been messing with Frankie's girl.

Hey man, you've gotta lot of nerve

We're gonna take you outside, you've got a lesson to learn

Come on!

You should've left that girl alone

Come on!

......??

You're gonna try to run, you're gonna try to hide

Teach you a little lesson outside

You're way too far from home

Don't try to run, don't try to hide

Gonna teach you a little lesson outside

TROUBLE MAKER

by Jimmy and the Mustangs

Unreleased in audio format.

The music video was appears on the German blu-ray.

He grew up in the shadows

Like a bird with a broken wing

Gettin' one bad break after another

So he grew up on the rims

He's been in and out of cages

'Cause he took what he never had

It's just another story of a good kid going bad

He's a trouble, trouble, trouble maker

Street boy livin' on the edge of right and wrong

He's a trouble, trouble, trouble maker

He's got one eye lookin' over his shoulder

One eye on the road

Mama was fond of the bottle

And the old man overindulged he never had

That's when he started walkin' a hard road

Life got harder at home

Now daddy's just confused

About the love he never had

No one ever tossed... ??? understand....

He's a trouble, trouble, trouble maker

Street boy livin' on the edge of right and wrong

He's a trouble, trouble, trouble maker

He's got one eye lookin' over his shoulder

One eye on the road

Well it's too, too sad

It's too, too bad

He's had every chance taken away

He's just a good boy going bad

Alright now!

He's a trouble, trouble, trouble maker

Street boy livin' on the edge of right and wrong

He's a trouble, trouble, trouble maker

He's got one eye lookin' over his shoulder

One eye on the road

Trouble, trouble, trouble maker

Street boy livin' on the edge of right and wrong

He's a trouble, trouble, trouble maker

He's got one eye lookin' over his shoulder

One eye on the road

He's a trouble, trouble maker

GET OUT AND DANCE

by Rhema

Unreleased, but later leaked online.

Sitting in my hollow shell

And I'm never looking out

Put my thoughts upon a shelf

But I feel like getting out

Now my fears are growing

I feel like something's holding on

This voice inside keeps saying

Why don't you, why don't you

Get out and dance

Dance!

And meet me on the outside

Outside!

Take a little chance tonight

Meet me on the outside

Outside!

Why don't you get out and dance?

Dance!

Get out and dance

Dance!

In my mind I see the power

And it's waiting from the outside

But I mustn't go out too far

I just know I will get tongue-tied

Now my fears are growing

I feel like something's holding on

This voice inside keeps saying

Why don't you, why don't you

Get out and dance

Dance!

And meet me on the outside

Outside!

Well take a little chance tonight

Meet me on the outside

Outside!

Why don't you get out and dance?

MY WORLD IS EMPTY WITHOUT YOU

By John Farnham & Rainey

From the Voyage of the Rock Aliens Soundtrack

My world is empty without you, babe

My world is empty without you, babe

And as I go my way alone

I find it hard for me to carry on

I need your strength

I need your tender touch

I need the love I feel

I miss so much

My world is empty without you, babe

My world is empty without you, babe

From this whole world, I try to hide my face

Oh but from this loneliness, there's no hiding place

Inside this cold and empty house I dwell

Alone with memories I know so well

I need love now more than before

I can hardly carry on anymore

My world is empty without you, babe

My world is empty without you, babe

My mind and soul have felt like this

Since love has gone, there's only loneliness

And each and every time the darkness falls

It was me alone with these four walls

My world is empty without you, babe

My world is empty without you, babe

My world is empty without you, babe

My world is empty without you, babe

Without you!

Without you!

Without you!

Without you!

My world is empty, baby

It's a dark and lonely place

Without you

Without you

Now, without you

Without you

Without you

Without you

Without you

Without you, you, you

Without you

Without you

THE NATURE OF THE BEAST

by Michael Bradley

From the Voyage of the Rock Aliens Soundtrack.

The album version differs from the movie version.

The music video appears on the German special edition DVD and Blu-Ray.

You say you’re gonna come by later but ya never come by

Then you follow with a phone call tellin’ me a thousand reasons why

I’ve been a fool and I know

I feel you slippin’ away and I don’t wanna end up alone

I’ve always big the bigshot pushin’ everybody else around

I think I learned my lesson now, it’s me who’s fallin’ down

My heart is hurtin’ from the jealous state I’m in

Won’t you give me a chance to start all over again

Cuz that’s the nature of the beast, keepin’ up the male persona

That’s the nature of the beast, keepin’ up my status quota

Now the nature of the beast wants to give love and affection

Oh, the nature of the beast who doesn’t want to end up alone

Thought my innocent face could hide my dark, elusive eyes

But now I think I know I’m commitin’ an emotional homicide

Leavin’ you alone had to be the worst thing I could do

Cuz look at me now, runnin’ around like a fool

Yeah, that’s the nature of the beast, keepin’ up the male persona

That’s the nature of the beast, keepin’ up my status quota

Now the nature of the beast wants to give love and affection

Oh, the nature of the beast doesn’t wanna end up alone

Oh no!

Don’t want to be alone!

Minute, minute, minute by minute, every second starts to cut

The longer I wait, I just get that more heated up

I gotta get you back if it’s the last thing that I do

I’ll change anything, I just can’t live without you

Cuz that’s the nature of the beast, keepin’ up the male persona

That’s the nature of the beast, keepin’ up my status quota

Now the nature of the beast wants to give love and affection

Oh, the nature of the beast doesn’t want to end up alone

That’s nature of the beast, keepin’ up the male persona

The nature of the beast, keepin’ up my status quota

Now the nature of the beast wants to give love and affection

Oh, the nature of the beast doesn’t want to end up alone
