Def Leppard - White Lightning lyrics

No promises, no guarantees

When you come down here

You're already on your knees

You wanna ride White lightnin'

Then sign your name

If you wanna dance with the devil

You gotta play his way - play the game

You gotta taste that sweetness

'Cos you can't say no

But are you ready for the nightmare

When you can't let go

Like a soldier of fortune

When the money runs dry

You got rivers of bitter tears - in your eyes

(BRIDGE)

You wanna leave but you can't let go

You wanna stop but you can't say no

You'll never laugh about it

You just can't live without it

You had enough but you just want more

You never get what you're lookin' for

You'll never laugh about it - never

You got both ends burning

You're like a moth to a flame

You're going off the rails

Like a runaway train

It's a no-win situation

And there's no way out

And no one will ever hear you - scream and shout

repeat BRIDGE

Run - He's coming to claim you

Run - Nowhere to hide away

Run - Oh, you dance with danger

Run - Oh, you gotta ride the...

(CHORUS)

White Lightnin'

On a dead end street

White Lightnin'

Where the deadbeats meet

White Lightnin'

It's a one-way ride

White Lightnin'

Oh, there's nowhere to hide

Such a lonely road you ride

It's not easy when you don't know why

Such a heavy load you hide

You never leave no matter how you try

Run - He's coming to claim you

Run - Nowhere to hide away

Run - You dance with danger

Run - Oh, you gotta ride the...

repeat CHORUS

White Lightning

Can you feel it, can you feel it?

White Lightning

It's so dangerous

White Lightning

No promises, no guarantees

White Lightning

When you come down here

You're already on your knees
