Lift `em On Up — текст песни (Pat Benatar)

Lately I been wastin` this hard, hard life
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


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


Now he prays for a light in the dark
To Lift `Em On Up (Lift `Em On Up)
An` he swears with his hand on his heart
To Lift `Em On Up (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


Now he prays for a light in the dark
To Lift `Em On Up (Lift `Em On Up)
An` he swears with his hand on his heart
To Lift `Em On Up (Lift `Em On Up)
You can tear the night down
And turn it inside out
You can tear the night down


Yesterdays....Johnny (Johnny, Johnny)


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


To Lift `Em On Up, Lift `Em On Up
Now he prays for a light in the dark
To Lift `Em On Up (Lift `Em On Up)
An` he swears with his hand on his heart
To Lift `Em On Up (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


To Lift `Em On Up, Lift `Em On Up, Lift `Em On Up, Lift `Em On Up
