Straight Up
Big Stick Rhythm won't leave me alone
Rage beyond reason deep down to the bone
gotta hunger in my heart that just won't quit, but there's a Method in the Madness and I follow it.
Do ya do it for money, do ya do it for love?
Do ya do it cuz you got the fever burnin' in your blood?
Straight up and over the top
Full speed ahead and I'm never gonna stop
Straight up and never look back
Only way to fly as a matter of fact, straight up
Straight up
Ready or not, you know tomorrow's gonna come
Maybe you and I'll be the lucky ones
If you're headed straight up, you can ride with me & maybe we'll defy the laws of gravity, gravity, gravity
You can or you can't, you will or you won't
Yer damned if you do, yer double damned if you don't
Straight up and over the top
Full speed ahead and I'm never gonna stop
Straight up and never look back
Only way to fly as a matter of fact, straight up
Straight up
Check it out
Gimee a shot, straight up, make it a double, straight up.
Hey, that feelin' kinda good, can't you come again?
Now gimme four on the floor, kick it just a little more, cuz this ain't no dress rehearsal, it's the real thing for sure
Hey, and it goes something like this...
Come out, come out to play wherever you are,
gonna wipe the slate clean on this here slide guitar, look out, here comes the windup...
Kick it home
Straight up and over the top
Full speed ahead and I'm never gonna stop
Straight up and never look back
Only way to fly as a matter of fact, straight up
Straight up
Rage beyond reason deep down to the bone
gotta hunger in my heart that just won't quit, but there's a Method in the Madness and I follow it.
Do ya do it for money, do ya do it for love?
Do ya do it cuz you got the fever burnin' in your blood?
Straight up and over the top
Full speed ahead and I'm never gonna stop
Straight up and never look back
Only way to fly as a matter of fact, straight up
Straight up
Ready or not, you know tomorrow's gonna come
Maybe you and I'll be the lucky ones
If you're headed straight up, you can ride with me & maybe we'll defy the laws of gravity, gravity, gravity
You can or you can't, you will or you won't
Yer damned if you do, yer double damned if you don't
Straight up and over the top
Full speed ahead and I'm never gonna stop
Straight up and never look back
Only way to fly as a matter of fact, straight up
Straight up
Check it out
Gimee a shot, straight up, make it a double, straight up.
Hey, that feelin' kinda good, can't you come again?

Full speed ahead and I'm never gonna stop
Straight up and never look back
Only way to fly as a matter of fact, straight up
Straight up
