Stand Up And Be Counted

(Album: Let It Ride - 1998)

Stand up and be counted
Things couldn't get much worse
You left me broken hearted
I'll knock you off the face of the Earth
'Cause time is quality time
I'll spend with you

Hanging on now
Just by the scruff of your neck
And you're asking why? how?
I think you know what's coming next
It's mine, is quality time
I think I'll spend

And someone must be pulling your leg
'Cause it may seem
That you are begging of a freefall
A face full of love
You're safe until the end
End

So stand up and pronounce it
I'll give you this piece of turf
And if you disregard it
I'll knock you off the face of the Earth
'Cause time is quality time
I'll spend with you

Hanging on now
Only by the skin of your teeth
And you can wipe your own brow
Too busy calling the fashion police
'Cause mine is quality time
I think I'll spend

And someone must be pulling your leg
'Cause it may seem
That you are begging of a freefall
A face full of love
You're safe until the end

I'm on fire
I'll keep burning
Even though my nerve's returning
I'm on fire
I'll keep burning
Down

I'm on fire
I'll keep burning
Even though my nerve's returning
I'm on fire

And someone must be pulling your leg
'Cause it may seem
That you are begging of a freefall
A face full of love
You're safe until the end

'Cause, someone must be pull-pull-pulling your leg
'Cause it may seem
That you are begging of a freefall
A face full of love
You're safe until the end

'Cause, I'm on fire
I'll keep burning
Even though my nerve's returning
I'm on fire
I'll keep burning
Down
