Out of Reach - Lyrics

1. Straight to the Top

 

At the break of dawn

And you’re time is gone

The power’s out but you just gotta get it on

Lots of snow and the cold winds blow

You can’t even tell, is day or is it nighfall?

 

All the gates are closed

The powers of society try to stop you

Fighting against all odds

But you gotta make it straight to the top

 

You’re in too deep

And the hills are steep

No matter how you try you just keep sinking

You have a drink and you start to think

Is the glass half full or just half empty

 

All the gates are closed

The powers of society try to stop you

Fighting against all odds

But you gotta make it straight to the top

2. Out of Reach

There is nothing that I wouldn’t do              

Just to spend a night with you

In my bed – You’re not there

In my room – Empty chair

In my arms – Just thin air

Out of reach

Feel my heart – Beating fast

Feel my soul – No control

Feel my love – Oh my love

I love you

Early in the morning I feel out of reach

Late in the evening I feel out of reach

 

There is nothing that I wouldn’t do              

Just to spend a day with you

In my bed – You’re not there

In my room – Empty chair

In my arms – Just thin air

Out of reach

Feel my heart – Beating fast

Feel my soul – No control

Feel my love – Oh my love

I love you

Early in the morning I feel out of reach

Late in the evening I feel out of reach

 

3. The Wrecking Ball

 

Put on my jacket and my shoes

Fill the trunk with stolen booze

Call up my brother tell him the truth

He knows where it comes from

The wrecking ball

The wrecking ball

Feel it swinging

 

Get myself ready, feel the groove

Fill the album with stolen tunes

Call up my brother tell him the truth

He knows where it comes from

The wrecking ball

The wrecking ball

Feel it swinging

 

Oh the wrecking ball

Feel it swinging

Oh the wrecking ball

Hear it singing

 

The wrecking ball

Hear it singing

The wrecking ball

Feel it swinging

 

4. Feel the flow

You wake up trying to open your eyes

Looking back on the late late nights

The head is spinning you can’t see clear

All you taste is cigarettes and beer

 

Feel the flow

It’s all about the show

Feel the flow

You know, It’s all about the show

 

When you step on the stage you just know

The crowd is pumped and ready to go

You give them power

You give them speed

You try to give them, just what they need

 

Feel the flow

It’s all about the show

Feel the flow

You know, It’s all about the show

 

Feel the flow

It’s all about the show

Feel the flow

You know, It’s all about the show

 

5. I’m driving down

I’m driving down, to my old ground

I’m driving down down down, to my old ground

We gather around, and hit the town

We gather around around around, and hit the town

6. Tremors

Woke up late this morning

Feel my head exploding

Bitter taste, I hope no one is trying to find me

I know I’ve had my warning, still the wine keeps pouring

No way to stop

 

Woke up late this morning

Feel my head exploding

Is it never going to stop?

 

And my hands are shaking

 

Woke up late this morning

Feel my head exploding

Is it never going to stop?

 

And my hands are shaking

And my heart is breaking

 

And my hands are shaking

And my heart is breaking

 

And my hands are shaking

But I’ll never fix it all

And my heart is breaking

As my body starts to fall

 

7. Right on the Money

We’re right on the money

And I feel the beat

Come sit with me honey

Won’t you have a drink?

Let’s take our chances

We have souls to feed

We’re right on the money

 

Just hit me

And I’m going deep

Come sit with me

All over me

Let’s take our chances

We have souls to feed

We’re right on the money

 

Right on

We’re right on the money

 

8. On your own

Please don’t call me on the phone

Please don’t show up at my home

You have my direction, you have my advice

You just keep on walking, stop wasting my time

Try to make it on your own

On your own

 

You have my direction, you have my advice

You just keep on walking, stop wasting my time

Try to make it on your own

On your own

 

9. I’m leaving town

Laid my cards down at the table

Don’t know what I’m gonna do

Girl you know I’m willing and able

But if I stay they will get you too

 

Get the engines running

It´s time to make another start

 

Oooh now I’m leaving town

Oooh now I’m leaving town

 

I flip a coin for a destination

Don’t give a damn, just gotta go

Burn the bridge, no hesitation

A brand new day to rock n’roll

 

Get the engines running

It´s time to make another start

 

Oooh now I’m leaving town

Oooh now I’m leaving town

Oooh gonna write my story

Take a shot at glory

Oooh now I’m leaving town

 

Oooh now I’m leaving town

Oooh now I’m leaving town

Oooh gonna write my story

Take a shot at glory

Oooh now I’m leaving town

 

10. When we’re dead

The amp is heating

Lines in place

Nervous feeling

A brief heartache

The lights are blinding

They fill my head

The band starts playing

We’ll sleep when we’re dead

 

When we’re dead

When we’re dead

When we’re dead

 

The lights are blinding

They fill my head

The band starts playing

We’ll sleep when we’re dead

 

When we’re dead

When we’re dead

When we’re dead
