[Verse 1]
In the heat of the night
You went and blackened my eyes
Well now I'm back
I'm back [x2]
And I'm coming your way
Well now I'm supercharged
Might just explode in your face
I'm black [x3]
And I'm primed for hate

[Chorus]
Knock 'em dead, kid (Knock 'em dead!) [x2]
The blade is red, kid
(Knock 'em dead!)
Knock 'em dead, kid
(Knock 'em dead!)

[Verse 2]
A star-spangled fight
Heard a steel-belted scream
Now I'm black, I'm black, I'm black
Another sidewalk's bloody dream
I heard the sirens whine
My blood turned to freeze
You'll see the red in my eyes
As you take my disease

[Chorus]

[Solo]

[Outro]
Knock 'em Knock'em Knock 'em dead
Knock'em dead kid

Mötley Crüe is the symbol of the 1980s rock n roll attitude. Formed in Los Angeles, California on January 17, 1981, the group was founded by bassist Nikki Sixx and drummer Tommy Lee, later joined by Mick Mars on the guitar and Vince Neil on the microphone.

Mötley Crüe has revolutionized the rock scene multiple times and officially introduced the idea of the rock show with fireworks, barely dressed girls and flamethrowers. They sold more than 100 million records worldwide.
