Winger Picture
A former member of Alice Cooper's band, bassist Kip Winger formed his own group in 1986; in addition to vocalist/bassist Winger, the group featured lead guitarist Reb Beach, guitarist/keyboardist Paul Taylor, and drummer Rod Morgenstein, formerly of the Dixie Dregs. Taking its name from its leader, Winger specialized in the stylish hard rock that sent Bon Jovi and Poison to the top of the charts. The band's eponymous debut sold over a million copies on the strength of the rocker "Seventeen" and the ballad "Headed for a Heartbreak." Winger's second album, 1990's In the Heart of the Young, was equally successful, selling over a million copies and featuring the hit power-ballad "Miles Away." However, the band didn't outlast the grunge trend and the group faded away after the release of its 1993 album Pull. Kip Winger launched a solo career at the tail end of the '90s. In early 2006, the "Pull" 1993 line-up reunited, along with a fifth member on keyboards.

Madalaine Lyrics

Winger

Such tender eyes,
Such a sweet believer
The story never lies
When I found you girl
You were so far down
A black cat in disguise

How in the world could it come to this
Couldn't you see that you've gone too far
Saving you soul for that one last kiss
Living you wish upon a star

Chorus:
Madalaine
This is love too tough to tame
Madalaine
Beware of the girl
Beware of the pain

Running scared
Through the dark of the day
The story never dies
But the names keep changin'
And the face fade
Take you dead or alive

How in the world could it come to this
Couldn't you see that you've gone too far
Saving you soul for that one last kiss
Living you wish upon a star

Chorus:
Madalaine
This is love too tough to tame
Madalaine
Beware of the girl
Beware of the pain

Solo

All of your glory was left like an angry child
Waiting to take your luck away
But you can't see you're still running wild
Oh Madalaine!!!
Now don't run away from me

Chorus:
Madalaine
This is love too tough to tame
Madalaine
Beware of the girl
Beware of the pain
