Twisted Sister is an American heavy metal band from New York City popularized in comedic music videos on the television channel MTV in the 1980s. Although formed by guitar player Jay Jay French in 1973, all of their songs were written by the lead singer Dee Snider. They fused the shock tactics of Alice Cooperand W.A.S.P., the rebellious mood of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, the style of the New York Dolls, and the extravagant makeup of Kiss. Often misconceived as glam - the makeup and Dee's especially was more transformed into a horror creation, and the music is a lot more hard hitting, with less lyrics about sex, than glam rock. The group's hit songs include "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "I Wanna Rock".

I'll Take You Alive Lyrics

Twisted Sister

--------------------------------
PULL THE TRIGGER, SET THE FIRE
LIGHT THE FUSES, TRIP THE WIRE
HEAD FOR SAFETY, RUN FOR COVER
HIT THE DIRT, I'M TAKIN' OVER
CURSE MY NAME, SAY I'M A LIAR
CUT ME LOOSE AND DOUSE MY FIRE
MEAN MISTREAT ME, SPURN MY LOVIN
PULL MY HEARTSTRINGS, KEEP ON SHOVIN'
I WANT YOUR LOVE
I NEED YOUR LOVE
DON'T TRY TO HIDE
RUN AWAY OR TAKE A RIDE
SOME WAY, ONE DAY
I'LL TAKE YOU ALIVE
I'LL TAKE YOU ALIVE
I'LL TAKE YOU ALIVE
I'M YOUR LOVER, YOUR OBSESSION
MODERN ROMANCE, TRUE CONFESSION
GUARDIAN ANGEL, PHANTOM STRANGER
INFANTRY AND YOUR LONE RANGER
I WANT YOUR LOVE
I NEED YOUR LOVE
THERE'S NO WAY OUT
SO, DON'T SCREAM, KICK OR SHOUT
ONE DAY, SOME WAY
I'LL TAKE YOU ALIVE
I'LL TAKE YOU ALIVE
I'LL TAKE YOU ALIVE
PULL THE TRIGGER, SET THE FIRE
LIGHT THE FUSES, TRIP THE WIRE
HEAD FOR SAFETY, RUN FOR COVER
HIT THE DIRT, I'M TAKIN' OVER
I WANT YOUR LOVE
I NEED YOUR LOVE
DON'T TRY TO HIDE
RUN AWAY OR TAKE A RIDE
SOME WAY, ONE DAY
I'LL TAKE YOU ALIVE
I'LL TAKE YOU ALIVE
I'LL TAKE YOU ALIVE
I'LL TAKE YOU ALIVE
