(Billy Idol/Steve Stevens)
|
Wake me from my sleep
|
A cautionary tale
|
A walk in infancy
|
A way to derail
|
I wanted only you
|
The walls are falling down
|
|
And somebody says
|
Ah give a little love,
|
Give a little love
|
But take your time
|
|
Somebody sighs
|
Yes, give a little love,
|
Give a little love
|
But take your time
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
A private life
|
C'mon no
|
I said livin'
|
Gets to be
|
Just like a rate race
|
Rat race
|
C'mon
|
I'm a -read between the lines
|
Fierce struggle
|
A natural one
|
A tough job
|
Gets to be
|
Just like a rate race
|
Rate race
|
C'mon I'm a locked up in myself
|
|
Check before rising
|
Check before we work
|
Childproof the scene
|
No screams can be heard
|
The roof is caving in
|
The space between our hearts
|
The walls are falling down
|
|
And somebody says
|
Ah give a little love,
|
Give a little love
|
Take your time
|
|
Somebody sighs
|
Yes, give a little love,
|
Give a little love
|
But take your time
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
It's a rat, it's a rat, it's a rat race
|
It's a rat, it's a rat race
|
It's a rat, it's a rat, it's a rat race
|
It's a rat, it's a rat race
|
|
Aah life
|
Living in a rat race
|
C'mon
|
|
Hmm, life
|
Are you living in a rat race?
|
C'mon
|
Here inside yourself
|
|
[Chorus 2x]
|
|
I'm locked up in myself
|
I'm locked up in myself
|
