Flick of the Switch (1983)

(Rising power)
We'll raise the night
(Rising power)
(Rising power)
We'll wake the dead
(Rising power)

You've got a love life up all night
Darkest hour at the dead of night
Seen her walkin' down the street
The kind of woman that brings on heat
Love her dusk till dawn
Come the morning she was gone
Took me out to my surprise
Money all gone left high and dry
Need no excuse
To let it all hang loose
My body's for abuse

(Rising power)
We'll raise the night
(Rising power)
(Rising power)
We'll wake the dead
(Rising power)
You'll end up torn to shreds

Don't need no excuse
My body's for abuse
(Rising power)
We'll raise the night
(Rising power)
(Rising power)
We'll raise the dead
(Rising power)
You'll end up torn to shreds
Rise
Rise
I'm gonna rise
Rising power
The power rise
From you

It's a shakedown (and it's a nervous shakedown)
Another shakedown (another nervous shakedown)
Well it's a shakedown (and it's a nervous shakedown)
We gotta shakedown
Another nervous shakedown

It's lookin' like a set-up
Take a dime said the man you can make one call
You got a one way ticket to the county hall
When the judge looked high and I looked low
When he smiled at me it was a one man show
He said
2 to 5 the jury decides
Double parole if you survive
It's a dirty lie

It's a shakedown (and it's a nervous shakedown)
Another shakedown (another nervous shakedown)
Well it's a shakedown (and it's a nervous shakedown)
We gotta shakedown
Another nervous shakedown

Lord they're gonna get you this time
And throw away the key

Yeah, it's a shakedown (and it's a nervous shakedown)
Another shakedown (another nervous shakedown)
You got a shakedown (and it's a nervous shakedown)
Well it's a shakedown (another nervous shakedown)
Shake it down shake it down (and it's a nervous shakedown)
Well it's a shakedown (another nervous shakedown)

He's gonna win
He got the lot to top the last shot

And the booze was going down
There's a curfew at ten
You been working overtime

So we'd like to stay
Stay just the same
He gave me a crack in the back with his gun
Hurt me so bad I could feel the blood run

Came for a good time and left on the run
Bedlam in Belgium, yeah
