Before this world starts up again
It´s me and night
We wait for the sun
The kids and drunks head back inside

Well there´s lots of smart ideas
In books I´ve never read
When the girls come talk to me
I wish to hell I had

Get up, Get up
Turn my ignition
Get up, Get up
Fire up the system
Play my little part in something big

I´ll accept with poise with grace
When they draw my name from the lottery
And they´ll say all the salt in the world couldn´t melt that ice
I´m the one who gets away
I´m a New Jersey success story
And they´ll say Lord give me the chance to shake that hand
They´ll say fuck up

Back when I was younger
I was someone you´d have liked
Got an old guitar I had for years i´d let you buy
And I´ll tell you something else
That you ain´t dying enough to know
There´s still some livin´ left when your prime comes and goes

Get up, Get up
Dance on the ceiling
Get up, Get up
Boy you must be dreaming
Rock on young savior
Don´t give up your hopes

I´ll accept with poise with grace
When they draw my name from the lottery
And they´ll say all the salt in the world couldn´t melt that ice
I´m the one who gets away
I´m a New Jersey success story
And they´ll say Lord give me the chance to shake that hand

I have one last wish
And it´s from the heart
Just let me down
Just let me down easy

I´ll accept with poise with grace
When they draw my name from the lottery
And They´ll say all the salt in the world couldn´t melt that ice
I´m the one who gets away
I´m a New Jersey success story
And they´ll say Lord give me the chance to shake "his" hand
They´ll say
