nerves on ice
You don't need the papers to read between the lines And you don't need the grapevine to say what's on your mind Hangin' on the corner in the opera of the street Eyes of imitation on everyone you meet Dance to the music--sing to my song Come to the party--and bring your friends along, listen Roll over...get down Gonna make you...right now So heavy...so nice We'll put your...nerves on ice I been to the banker and I been to see the queen Six of seven wonders have I made out of my dreams I could be a junkie--I could be like you We could be together...then what would we do Life for the takin' is just outside your door Time is the one thing that no one can afford LISTEN... Roll over...right now Gonna make you...get down So heavy...s'all right We'll put your nerves on ice Don't let them bring you down Don't let them turn you upside down Only the strong survive... And no one here gets out alive Call for the doctor--you can call out for a priest But you can't take it with you when they're taggin' your disease There're no easy lessons--and there're no guarantees But you can go the distance be what you want to be Stand where you're able...leave with your pride Come to the table and throw down for your side, listen Roll over...get down You're gonna like it...and how So heavy...so right We'll put your nerves on ice Don't let them bring you down Don't let them turn you upside down ...Don't think twice ...Nerves on ice Don't let them bring you down Don't let them leave you on the edge of town ...Don't think twice ...Nerves on ice.
