Before this world starts up again It's me and night We wait for the sun The kids and drunks head back inside
Well there's lots of smart ideas in books I've never read When the girls come talk to me I wish to hell I had
(Get Up, Get Up) Turn on ignition (Get Up, Get Up) Fire up the system Play my little part in something big
I'll accept with poise, with grace When they draw my name from the lottery And they'll say 'All the salt in the world couldn't melt that ice' I'm the one who gets away I'm a New Jersey success-story And they'll say 'Lord, give me a chance to shake that hand' (They'll say)
Back when I was younger I was someone you'd've liked Got an old guitar I'd had for years I'd let you buy And I'll tell you something else that you ain't dying enough to know There's still some living left when your prime comes and goes
(Get Up, Get Up) Dance on the ceiling (Get Up, Get Up) Boy, you must be dreamin' Rock on young saviour, don't give up your hopes
I'll accept with poise, with grace When they draw my name from the lottery And they'll say 'All the salt in the world couldn't melt that ice' I'm the one who gets away I'm a New Jersey success-story And they'll say 'Lord, give me a chance to shake that hand'
I have one last wish And it's from my heart Just let me down Just let me down (easy)
I'll accept with poise, with grace When they draw my name from the lottery And they'll say 'All the salt in the world couldn't melt that ice' I'm the one who gets away I'm a New Jersey success-story And they'll say 'Lord, give me a chance to shake his hand' (They'll say)
