Slap Like Being Born

I hear you won't dance you say

No one asks you anyway

Hard to make ends meet

Dominos every day

If the bible taught us anything

Adam got the best of the deal

Horizontal sailing

Something that you want to do

Telephone is ringing

But the message isn't getting through

How are you supposed to touch

If you don't even know how to feel

Open up your eyes

No one gets two tries

You need a shot

To knock you on your knees

(A slap like being born)

You need a shock

To force your brain to breathe

Nothing less or more

A slap like being born

Keystone holiday

You headed for the "Show Me" state

Trials and tribulations

Money came a little late

Stoned downtown

With a paper bag and no shoes

Well so much innocence

Lose it in a second flat

Revolution on the way

You tell me what's up with that

This stuff was over back in 1972

So open up your eyes

You're in for a surprise

You need a shot

To knock you on your knees

(A slap like being born)

You need a shock

To force your brain to breathe

Nothing less or more

A slap like being born

Don't even go there

Don't even bother to try

Cause you know if you go there

Yeah, you might as well kiss me good-bye

You're in for a surprise

No one gets two tries

You need a shot

To knock you on your knees

(A slap like being born)

You need a shock

To force your brain to breathe

(A slap like being born)

You need a shot

To knock you on your knees

(A slap like being born)

You need a shock

To force your brain to breathe

Nothing less or more

A slap like being born

You need a shot

You need a shot

You need a shot
