Lyrics
Take me for a ride
Break me up and steal what’s left inside And hope and pray iniquity has died inside and left a scar
I’m on red alert Bring me peace and wash away my dirt Spin me round and help me to divert and walk into the light
Warm my heart tonight Hold my head up high Help me to survive
Kick me when I’m down Feed me poison, fill me till I drown Wake me up before I get pushed out and fall into the night
Warm my heart tonight (Force me to lose control) Hold my head up high (Watch as I lose my soul) Help me to survive (Push me until I fall)
