Nerves On Ice Lyrics
You don't need the papers to read between the linesAnd you don't need the grapevine to say what's on your mindHangin' on the corner in the opera of the streetEyes of imitation on everyone you meetDance to the music--sing to my songCome to the party--and bring your friends along, listenRoll over...get downGonna make you...right nowSo heavy...so niceWe'll put your...nerves on iceI been to the banker and I been to see the queenSix of seven wonders have I made out of my dreamsI could be a junkie--I could be like youWe could be together...then what would we doLife for the takin' is just outside your doorTime is the one thing that no one can affordLISTEN...Roll over...right nowGonna make you...get downSo heavy...s'all rightWe'll put your nerves on iceDon't let them bring you downDon't let them turn you upside downOnly the strong survive...And no one here gets out aliveCall for the doctor--you can call out for a priestBut you can't take it with you when they're taggin' your diseaseThere're no easy lessons--and there're no guaranteesBut you can go the distance be what you want to beStand where you're able...leave with your prideCome to the table and throw down for your side, listenRoll over...get downYou're gonna like it...and howSo heavy...so rightWe'll put your nerves on iceDon't let them bring you downDon't let them turn you upside down...Don't think twice...Nerves on iceDon't let them bring you downDon't let them leave you on the edge of town...Don't think twice...Nerves on ice
