Leppard Def White Lightning Lyrics

White Lightning Lyrics

No promises 

No guarantees 

When you come down here you're 

Already on your knees 

You wanna ride White Lightnin', then just sign your name 

If you wanna dance with the devil, you gotta play his way 

(Play the game) 

You gotta taste that sweetness 

'Cos you can't say no 

But are you ready for the nightmare 

When you can't let go 

Like a soldier of fortune 

When the money runs dry 

You've got rivers of bitter tears 

(In your eyes) 



You wanna leave but you can't let go 

You wanna stop but you can't say no 

(You never laugh about it, you just can't live without it) 

You've had enough but you just want more 

You never get what you're looking for 

(You never laugh about it) 



You've got both ends burning 

Like a moth to a flame 

You're going off the rails 

Like a runaway train 

It's a no-win situation 

And there's no way out 

And no one will ever hear you - Scream and shout 



[Repeat Bridge]



Run - He's coming to claim you 

Run - Nowhere to hide away 

Run - You dance with danger 

Run - Oh you gotta ride 



The White Lightning - On a dead end street 

White Lightning - Where the deadbeats meet 

White Lightning - It's a one way ride 

White Lightning - Oh, there's nowhere to hide 



Such a lonely road you ride 

It's not easy when you don't know why 

Such a heavy load you hide 

You never leave no matter how you try 



Run - He's coming to claim you 

Run - Nowhere to hide away 

Run - You dance with danger 

Run - Oh, you gotta ride 



The White Lightning - On a dead end street 

White Lightning - Where the deadbeats meet 

White Lightning - It's a one-way ride 

White Lightning - Oh there's nowhere to hide 



(White Lightning) 

Can you feel it? - Can you feel it? 

(White Lightning) 

It's so dangerous 

(White Lightning) 



No promises 

No guarantees 

(White Lighning) 

When you come down here boy, 

You're already on your knees
