You know that it's easy, so come on and please me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Although sung by Peter Criss, “Mainline” was written by Paul Stanley.

According to Paul: “Peter literally came over to us and said, ‘If you don’t give me a song to sing, I’m leaving the band.’ So Paul was nice enough again, and let him sing ‘Mainline’”

Mainline was performed only once during the tour supporting Hotter Than Hell.
