On Through the Night

The wait is done, the battle's won

So count the cost before you run

'Cause on and on, your time is power

As the clock on the wall ticks away the hours

Come on down, you're flying high

You'll never win if you never try

Stop the hate and carry the load

Come on, get this show on the road

On through the night

You can't stop me now

On through the night

You won't stop me anyhow

The stakes are high and getting higher

I'm flat on my face and you call me liar

I'm watching you, you're watching me

You're watching every move that I can see

My reputation's still at stake

I'll play it safe for safety's sake

Your ego and your promises

Are gonna fade again and again

On through the night

You won't stop me now

On through the night

You won't stop me anyhow

Not anyhow

All you wanna hear is the audience applause

You can't get on stage for a contract clause

And the road ahead seems a little rough

If you wanna know my feelings

I'd say that's tough, that's tough

Your wheels ain't turning, you're out of gas

You pay by cheque, but they take cash

Two roads ahead, but which to take?

And you can't see it's your mistake

They're waiting for you, they're waiting for me

For what seems like eternity

It's all tradition, it'll get you yet

In rock 'n' roll, there's no safety net

On through the night

You can't stop me now

On through the night

You can't stop me anyhow

On through the night

Going on and on, on and on

On through the night

You can't stop me anyhow

No, no, not anyhow
