  • You're wide awake, your heart beats
    Sister Mary in her burning dress with god at her feet
    They take and take, but no more
    'Cause now you're gonna show em what the night is really for
    And leave your heart out on the dance floor

    Put your hands up, it's all right
    Saying "oh ho oh oh", until the sunrise
    And if you can't sleep, do it all night
    Saying "oh ho oh oh", and don't you ever fade away

    Your life is full, of hard days
    You try to hold it down but it's more than you can take
    Those flashing lights, they shine down
    It's hard as hell to try to keep your head in this town
    So we're gonna burn the place down

    Put your hands up, it's all right
    Saying "oh ho oh oh", until the sunrise
    And if you can't sleep, do it all night
    Saying "oh ho oh oh", and don't you ever fade away
    No don't you ever fade away, yeah
    Until the sun rise
    Saying "oh ho oh oh"
    Saying "oh ho oh oh"

    Put your hands up, it's all right
    Saying "oh ho oh oh", until the sunrise
    And if you can't sleep, do it all night
    Saying "oh ho oh oh", and don't you ever fade away
    No don't you ever fade away, yeah
    And don't you ever fade away (better put your hands up) Writer/s: ROBERT THOMAS
