Pat Benatar - Lift 'em On Up Lyrics
Lately I been wastin this hard, hard lifeSeems like nothin ever turns out rightThe days too short, the nights too longMeet you in the middle if it turns out wrongJohnny got a job but it aint no goodNickels and dimes you know he never couldSeem to make it clean, Im tellin youWhen the devil got your soulThere aint much you can doNow he prays for a light in the darkTo lift `em on up (lift `em on up)An he swears with his hand on his heartTo lift `em on up (lift `em on up)You can tear the night downAnd turn it inside outJohnny looks around but all he seesIs a tired old city livin on its kneesBlue jean faces, fadin fastBacks are breaking but the hard times lastNow he prays for a light in the darkTo lift `em on up (lift `em on up)An he swears with his hand on his heartTo lift `em on up (lift `em on up)You can tear the night downAnd turn it inside outYou can tear the night downYesterdays....johnny (johnny, johnny)Johnny and me used to have a dreamIf ya ran real fast, itd set you freeSo we kept on running, but our legs got tiredAnd the dream just kinda faded when the spirit died - heyTo lift `em on up, lift `em on upNow he prays for a light in the darkTo lift `em on up (lift `em on up)An he swears with his hand on his heartTo lift `em on up (lift `em on up)You can tear the night down, you can tear the night downYou can tear the night down and turn it inside outTo lift `em on up, lift `em on up, lift `em on up, lift `em on upFrom the album wide awake in dreamlandWritten by: n. geraldo, p. giraldo & m. grombacher
