Lyrics
[Verse 1]
No promises, no guarantees
When you come down here you're already on your knees
You wanna ride white lightning, then just sign your name
If you wanna dance with the devil, gotta play his way
(Play the game)
[Verse 2]
You gotta taste that sweetness 'cause 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)
[Verse 3]
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)
Never
[Verse 4]
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)
[Verse 5]
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)
Never
[Verse 6]
Run
He's coming to claim you
Run
Nowhere to hide away
Run
You dance with danger
Run
Oh, you gotta ride
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
Run
He's coming to claim you
Run
Nowhere to hide away
Run
You dance with danger
Run
Oh, you gotta ride
[Verse 10]
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 lightning ('Cause when you come down here boy)
You're already on your knees
