nerves on ice

Lyrics

you don't need the papers to read between the lines, and you don't need the grapevine to say what's on your mind, hangin' on the corner in the opera of the street, eyes of imitation on everyone you meet, dance to the music--sing to my song, come to the party--and bring your friends along, listen, roll over.get down, gonna make you.right now, so heavy.so nice, we'll put your.nerves on ice, i been to the banker and i been to see the queen, six of seven wonders have i made out of my dreams, i could be a junkie--i could be like you, we could be together.then what would we do, life for the takin' is just outside your door, time is the one thing that no one can afford, listen. roll over.right now, gonna make you.get down, so heavy.s'all right, we'll put your nerves on ice, don't let them bring you down, don't let them turn you upside down, only the strong survive. and no one here gets out alive, call for the doctor--you can call out for a priest, but you can't take it with you when they're taggin' your disease, there're no easy lessons--and there're no guarantees, but you can go the distance be what you want to be, stand where you're able.leave with your pride, come to the table and throw down for your side, listen, roll over.get down, you're gonna like it.and how, so heavy.so right, we'll put your nerves on ice, don't let them bring you down, don't let them turn you upside down,don't think twice,nerves on ice, don't let them bring you down, don't let them leave you on the edge of town,don't think twice,nerves on ice
