You dont need the papers to read between the lines
And you dont need the grapevine to say whats on your mind
Hangin on the corner in the opera of the street
Eyes of imitation on everyone you meet
Dance to the music--sing to my song
Come to the party--and bring your friends along, listen
Roll over...get down
Gonna make you...right now
So heavy...so nice
Well put your...nerves on ice
I been to the banker and I been to see the queen
Six of seven wonders have I made out of my dreams
I could be a junkie--i could be like you
We could be together...then what would we do
Life for the takin is just outside your door
Time is the one thing that no one can afford
Listen...
Roll over...right now
Gonna make you...get down
So heavy...sall right
Well put your nerves on ice
Dont let them bring you down
Dont let them turn you upside down
Only the strong survive...
And no one here gets out alive
Call for the doctor--you can call out for a priest
But you cant take it with you when theyre taggin your disease
Therere no easy lessons--and therere no guarantees
But you can go the distance be what you want to be
Stand where youre able...leave with your pride
Come to the table and throw down for your side, listen
Roll over...get down
Youre gonna like it...and how
So heavy...so right
Well put your nerves on ice
Dont let them bring you down
Dont let them turn you upside down
...dont think twice
...nerves on ice
Dont let them bring you down
Dont let them leave you on the edge of town
...dont think twice
...nerves on ice
