Slap Like Being Born Lyrics - Night Ranger

I hear you won't dance you say 

No one asks you anyway 

Hard to make ends meet 

Domino's 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
