Legendary German hard rock band. Scorpions formed in the late 60's and released several progressive rock albums with Michael Schenker(who left to join UFO) before recruiting lead guitarist Uli Jon Roth, who helped push the band into a harder direction. The 70's output of Scorpions represented a bold, innovative new force in heavy metal, but poor promotion in the US by their label, RCA, prevented the band from making a breakthrough. In the 80's Scorpions began moving in a more commercial direction, causing Roth to leave to pursue his own solo career. With a new label, Mercury, and a new guitarist in the talented Matthias Jabs, Scorpions began to enjoy considerable chart success with their involvement in the booming glam metal phenomenon.

Big City Nights Lyrics

Scorpions

Music :rudolf schenker
Lyrics:klaus meine
When the daylight is falling down into the night
And the sharks try to cut a big piece out of life
It feels alright to go out to catch an outrageous thrill
But its more like spinning wheels of fortune
Which never stand still
Big city, big city nights
You keep me burning
Big city, big city nights
When the sunlight is rising up in my eyes
And the long night has left me back at somebodys side
It feels alright for a long sweet minute like hours before
But its more like looking out for something
I cant find anymore
Big city, big city nights
You keep me burning
Big city, big city nights
Always yearning
There is no dream
That you cant make true, if youre looking for love
But theres no girl
Whos burning the ice away from my heart
Maybe tonight!
Big city, big city nights
You keep me burning
Big city, big city nights
Always yearning
Big city, big city nights
You keep me burning
Big city, big city nights
Always yearning
