Before this world starts up again,
It's me and night,
We wait for the sun,
The kids and drunks head back inside.
Well there's lots of smart ideas
In books I've never read,
When the girls come talk to me
I wish to hell I had.
(Get up, get up)
Turn on ignition.
(Get up, get up)
Fire up the system,
Play my little part in something big.
I'll accept with poise, with grace
When they draw my name from the lottery,
And they'll say:
"All the salt in the world
Couldn't melt that ice".
I'm the one who gets away,
I'm a New Jersey success-story,
And they'll say:
"Lord, give me the chance
To shake that hand"
(They'll say...)
Back when I was younger
I was someone you'd've liked,
Got an old guitar I had for years
I'd let you buy.
And I'll tell you something else
That you ain't dying enough to know:
There's still some living left
When your prime comes and goes.
(Get up, get up)
Dance on the ceiling.
(Get up, get up)
Boy, you must be dreaming.
Rock on, young saviour, don't give up your hopes.
I'll accept with poise, with grace
When they draw my name from the lottery,
And they'll say:
"All the salt in the world
Couldn't melt that ice".
I'm the one who gets away,
I'm a New Jersey success-story,
And they'll say:
"Lord, give me the chance
To shake that hand".
I have one last wish,
And it's from my heart:
Just let me down,
Just let me down, easy...
I'll accept with poise, with grace
When they draw my name from the lottery,
And they'll say:
"All the salt in the world
Couldn't melt that ice".
I'm the one who gets away,
I'm a New Jersey success-story,
And they'll say:
"Lord, give me a chance
To shake his hand"
(They'll say...)
Enjoy!
