You might want to turn your stereo up with this one and get ready to rock.


life is so pretty
life is so sweet
I'm walking down Calgary street
thinking about tonight
and who I will meet
I'm walking down Calgary street

we are the new band
we're fresh in this town
I'm walking down Calgary street
going to kick it
plan to lay down
I'm walking down Calgary street

so there is the back door
swinging wide open
as if it was calling to me
the lady was inside
I swear she was choking
while the men sat back in their seats
pour us a cold one
lay down a line
we don't want to be here at all
the breath is nasty
and the place smells of wine
faded pictures aligned on the wall

then
we enter
the place that we will call home
it's raised off the floor now
like we were kings
bout to play the night on our thrones
bring up the tom toms
setup the bass
the horns can sit over there
no room for standing
it's crowded as H
put the monitor there on the chair
turn on the amps
and turn out the lights
we're going to rise above heaven

turn it up

play you the song
rock with our courage
scream to the crowd
are you with us
are you with us
don't let us down
for tonight is our only
here is our soul
don't let us go
kill us
with your night

the first set was tighty
the second was mighty
still we were not quite there
the people were screaming
all H broke loose
as the girls stood up on their chairs
but we knew in a moment
they would love us or hate us
as we wiped the sweat from our heads
hang on to the drums sticks
and tune the guitars
we are ready and willing to fly
for it's far past midnight
the lovers are lonely
and we got to make it all right

come on

turn up the sound
rock with our courage
scream to the crowd
are you with us
are you with us
don't let us down
for tonight is our only
here is our soul
don't let us go
kill us oh kill us
with your night

explosions and carnivals
flesh and panic
as we tore down the walls
guitars were screaming
and people were beaming
take a breath
but no air at all
we bashed and we crash
as we slaughtered our string
our hands were bleeding
there was nothing but rings
as our ears were giving up
our voices are dead
but we reached down inside us
for what must be said

play you the song
rock with our courage
scream to the crowd
are you with us
are you with us
don't let us down
for tonight is our only
here is our soul
don't let us go
kill us
with your night

again

play you the song
rock with our courage
scream to the crowd
are you with us
are you with us
don't let us down
for tonight is our only
here is our soul
don't let us go
kill us
with your night


so I unplugged my fender
and wrapped up my cord
we killed em
knocked them dead
our headaches are pounding
and the drunks are drowning
as this dirty old room
is their bed
the owner asked us
would we play here next week
but we couldn't
we're moving along
there will be another bar
in another town
as I quietly sing my song

Oh

play you my song
rock with our courage
sing to the crowd
are you with us
are you with us
don't let us down
for tonight is our only
here is our soul
don't let us go
treat us
with your night

I'm walking down Calgary street
walking down Calgary street
life is so pretty
life is so sweet

I'm walking

down Calgary street
