Lyrics to "A Touch of Evil" by Judas Priest

I never knew this was one of their songs from the 1990s. It apparently appeared on their 1990 Painkiller album. It's an overall good song and the video for it is amazing! But, then again, almost anything Judas Priest sings, I'm probably gonna listen to!!

You mesmerise slowly
Till I can't believe my eyes
Ecstasy controls me
What you give just serves me right

Without warning you're here
Like magic you appear
I taste the fear

I'm so afraid
But I still feed the flame

In the night
Come to me
You know I want your Touch of Evil
In the night
Please set me free
I can't resist a Touch of Evil

Aroused with desire
You put me in a trance
A vision of fire
I never had a chance

A dark angel of sin
Preying deep from within
Come take me in

I'm so afraid
But I still feed the flame

In the night
Come to me
You know I want your Touch of Evil
In the night
Please set me free
I can't resist a Touch of Evil

Arousing me now with a sense of desire
Possessing my soul till my body's on fire

A dark angel of sin
Preying deep from within
Come take me in

I'm so afraid
But I still feed the flame

You're possessing me

-One year when Bon Jovi headlined at Donnington Park, Bruce, Dee Snider and Paul Stanley sung with Bon Jovi on stage during the last song of the night. Bruce, wearing shorts with a pattern of the Union Jack (British flag for those who may not know), didn't know the words to the song being played, so he ran around with the lyrics on a piece of paper, reading them

Him in a suit? That's something I never thought I would see :D But cool none the less

Engineering Fails

How these engineers ever got a degree is beyond me!

1. Forget "Stairway to Heaven". This is a "Stairway to Nowhere
2. For those with only half a rear
3. Close, but no cigar
4. This would be good, if you don't like fresh air or actual sunlight
5. Water + electricity = free trip to the emergency room
6. Thomas the Train is going to have a splitting headache...
7. Seriously?
8. This can't be good
9. Unless you have a hover craft, you're not getting in
10. You would think that the people who built this building would have used Google Maps to see this building after construction. You wouldn't catch me dead anywhere near a building that resembled a swastika
11. Duck!
12. Obviously the contractors who built this building had a rough week...
13. Watch that last step...
14. A balcony with nowhere to go
15. No risk of identity theft here; even you can't see your pin number
16. This is a HIGHLY awkward situation. Most normal people like privacy when using the facilities; here there is no privacy!

-Four boys-Michael Sullivan, John Reilly, Tommy Marcano and Lorenzo Carcaterra- live in Hell's Kitchen in 1960s New York. They run the streets like it's their own personal playground.

The other boys push it to the edge of an open subway stairwell with the intention of letting it go. Unfortunately, a man gets hurt in the process and as a result, the four boys are sentenced to the Wilkinson Home for Boys, an upstate New York juvenile delinquents home.
