Song Lyrics

Yes I ride the lightning, yes I'm on the go
And when I go down slow I need more power now
It keeps me damn lucky, yes I just won't stop
I'm lit to pop, oh yes I got the power now

I got a secret that I wanna tell
I'm feeling power from the pit of hell, yeah
I got something to say I think I'm gonna say it
The power's flowing and it just won't stop
I touch a woman make the flesh burn hot
Want love to spread I think I'm gonna spread it
The secret's easy now lend me your ear
Don't ever hesitate there's not a thing to fear

Oh yes I ride the lightning, yes I'm on the go
And when I go down slow I need more power now
It keeps me damn lucky, yes I just won't stop
I'm lit to pop, oh yes I got the power now

You take the power but it don't come free
The devil charges such a hefty fee yeah
You gotta pay the piper when he comes collecting
Please don't hurry but you can't take long
Just give yourself up to the rock'n'roll song, yeah
It's gonna keep you strong and keep you always winning
The devil really wants to see you swim
Just take the deal and then you jump right in

Oh yes I ride the lightning, yes I'm on the go
And when I go down slow I need more power now
It keeps me damn lucky, yes I just won't stop
I'm lit to pop, oh yes I got the power now

The devil really wants to see you swim
Just take the deal and then you jump right in

Oh yes I ride the lightning, yes I'm on the go
And when I go down slow I need more power now
It keeps me damn lucky, yes I just won't stop
I'm lit to pop, oh yes I got the power now
