Pat Benatar - LIFT 'EM ON UP lyrics

Seems like nothin' ever turns out right

The day's too short, the nights too long

Meet you in the middle if it turns out wrong - hey!

Johnny got a job but it ain't no good

Nickels and dimes you know he never could

Seem to make it clean, I'm tellin' you

When the devil got your soul there ain't much you can do

Chorus:

Now he prays for a light in the dark to lift 'em on up

An' he swears with his hand on his heart to lift 'em on up

You can tear the night down and turn it inside out

Johnny looks around but all he sees, is a tired old city livin' on its knees

Blue jean faces fadin' fast, backs are breaking but the hard times last

(And now he) chorus

You can tear the night down - yesterdays, Johnny

(Solo)

Johnny and me used to have a dream, if ya ran real fast, it'd set you free

So we kept on running, but our legs got tired

And the dream just kinda faded when the spirit died - hey!

An' now he prays for a light in the dark to lift 'em on up

An' he swears with his hand on his heart to lift 'em on up

You can tear the night down, you can tear the night down

You can tear the night down and turn it inside out...
