Album: Van Halen II (1979)

Light Up The Sky

Yeah, we're all fast breakers comin' out of the gates takin' chances. We're the crash and burn.
Yeah, there is a way with beauty, but you never gave a love cross the line where none return.
I watch my television; almost lost my mind.
It said, "Open your eyes. Leave it all behind."
I heard the wind a whisp'rin', strong magic comin' on!
They comin' out for sure.
Come see your children; yeah, they're lighting up the skies.
Won't recognize them any more.
Ooh, mama, see the firelight.
Ooh, we're comin' out tonight.
Wolves at my door wised up quick.
Turn here and gone from on the go.
Seems the old folks who come up short were the pretty little kids who didn't want it, no.
I had to pay admission when I came tonight.
And it said, "Open my eyes. Leave it all behind."
I heard the wind a whisp'rin', strong magic comin' on!
They comin' out for sure.
Come see your children; yeah, they're lighting up the skies.
Won't recognize them any more.
Ooh, mama, see the firelight.
Ooh, lightin' up the sky.
Light up the sky.
Light up the sky.
Light up the sky.
Light 'em up!
