Tonight's the night I'm breakin' out I gotta know What it's all about Hey babe There ain't no way I'm gonna lose you I got your love In my blood tonight And I'm so far gone I can't see the light Oh yeah The pressure's on And I'm cruisin' Baby, take me back where I belong Take me back before the night is gone... No, I can't escape the thunder Of your burning wings of love Take me down and love me, baby Slow and easy! You shook me So heavy! All night long You took me Rock steady! All night long You shook me So heavy! All night long You took me Rock steady! All night long Startin' out I'm bearing down You got me burning At the speed of sound... Oooo... And I'm coming To get ya! Ain't nothing gonna stop me now If ya can't get loose, I can show you how I'm gonna hold you tight 'Cause I can still remember! Baby, take me back where I belong Take me back before Before the thrill is gone I've been on the road of lightning With a circuit overload Take me back and love me, baby So easy! You shook me So heavy! All night long You took me Rock steady! All night long

@@bobdaniel5367 I bought the Scarred for Life cassette as a 14 year old in 1986 knowing nothing about them other than having read a small interview. I bought Awaken the Guardian by Fates Warning the same day, same reason. That was a great day for music for me. Life long fan of both bands. I have seen FW a couple times but Obsession never came near my little corner of the Midwest. So instead I've just tracked down and tried to buy as many of the projects Vescera was involved with as I could. Scarred for Life and Methods of Madness are gems.
