[Verse 1]
Breath of life
For which a man must grieve
Blood of love
Into my heart
Tonight we'll dream (yeah)
A license to thrill

[Verse 2]
I'll sing you on, girl (yeah)
I'll make you high world
Lovers turn again to dreams
Oh, tonight
A license to thrill

[Chorus]
I hear voices
Screaming louder
Seem to break a spell
Watcha gonna do?
I hear voices
Singing louder
Oh yeah, oh yeah

[Verse 3]
Breathe tonight
And slowly come down
Touch the stars
Into my heart
Tonight we'll dream
A license to thrill

[Verse 4]
Oh, sleeper
Yes, restless dreamer
She comes, face her
Untie your lips
I'll turn you on, girl
You make me high world
Turn again to dreams
Untie your hips
And with
Animal grace
Embrace her
Oh the taste
A license to thrill

[Chorus]
I hear voices
Screaming louder
Seem to break a spell
Watcha gonna do?
I hear voices
Screaming louder
Sing a farewell
Watcha gonna do?
Yeah, yeah

I hear voices
Screaming louder
Screaming louder into the night
Try to break a spell
I say yeah
Sing a last farewell
Watcha gonna do?

[Outro]
I'll sing you on, girl
I'll make you high
A license to thrill

Billy Idol is an English rock musician, songwriter and actor. Born in Stanmore, Middlesex, Idol first achieved fame in the punk rock era as a member of the band Generation X. Unlike other British punk rock artists of his era, Idol was inspired by The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.

Idol then embarked on a successful solo career, and was a member of the MTV-driven “Second British Invasion” of the United States. A series of music videos for songs such as “Dancing With Myself”, “White Wedding”, “Rebel Yell” and “Eyes Without a Face” made him one of the first MTV stars. Idol continues to tour with guitarist Steve Stevens.

Idol’s 1987 release, “Mony Mony” reached #1 on the US top 40 charts; his songs to chart in the top 10 include: White Wedding, Eyes Without a Face, To Be a Lover and Cradle of Love.
