Van Halen - Light Up the Sky Lyrics

Artist: Van Halen

Album: Van Halen 2

  • Songwriters: Michael Anthony, David Lee Roth, Alex Van Halen, Edward Van Halen

Yeah, we're all fast breakers comin' outta the gates
Takin' chances we're the crash an' burn
Yeah, there is a way with beauty but you never gave a love
Cross the line where none return

Oh, I watch my television, almost lost my mind
It said, "Open your eyes leave it all behind"

I heard the wind a-whisperin' strong magic comin' on
They comin' out for sure
Come see your children, yeah they're lighting up the skies
Won't recognize them anymore

Wolves at my door, wised up quick
Turned here an' 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 some crazy vision, one I can't deny it
It said, "Open my eyes leave it all behind"

I heard the winds a-whisperin' strong magic comin' on
It's comin' out for sure
Come see your children, yeah they're lighting up the skies
You won't, recognize them anymore

Ooh, mama, see the firelights
Ooh, we're comin' out tonight
Ooh, mama, see the firelights
Ooh, lightin' up the sky, light 'em up

Light up the sky
Light up the sky
Light up the sky
Light up the sky
Light 'em up
