SLAP LIKE BEING BORN

[SONG BEGIN]


I hear you won't dance, you say
no one asks you anyway
Hard to make ends meet
Dominos every day
If the bible taught us anything
Adam got the best of the deal


Horizontal sailing
Something that you want to do
Telephone is ringing
But the message isn't getting
through
How you supposed to touch
If you don't even know how to feel
Well open up your eyes
No one gets two tries


[CHORUS BEGIN]


You need a shot
To knock you on your knees
(A slap like being born)
You need a shock to force your
brain to breathe
Nothing less or more
A slap like being born


[CHORUS END]


Keystone holiday
You headed for the "Show me" state
Trials and tribulations
Money came a little late
Stoned downtown
With a paper bag and no shoes


Well so much innocence
Lose it in a second flat
Revolution on the way
You tell me what's up with that
This stuff was over back in 1972, yeah


So open up your eyes
You're in for a surprise


[CHORUS BEGIN]


You need a shot
to knock you off your knees
(A slap like being born)
You need a shock to force your
brain to breathe
(Nothing less or more)
A slap like being born


[CHORUS END]


Don't even go there
Don't even bother to try
Cause you know if you go there
Yea you might as well kiss me
good-bye good-bye good-bye good-bye


[GUITAR SOLOS]


You're in for a surprise
No one get's two tries


[CHORUS BEGIN]


You need a shot
to knock you on your knees
(A slap like being born)
You need a shock to force your
brain to breathe
(A slap like being born)
You need a shot
to knock you on your knees
(A slap like being born)
You need a shot to force your
brain to breathe
Nothing less or more
A slap like being born
You need a shot
You need a shot
You need a shot


[CHORUS END]


[SONG END]
