AC/DC - POWER UP Lyrics






Realize

The moment you realize

Those moments just pass you by
Gonna take you to paradise

Move it
Make you prove it, yeah
Breakin' out, break it down
Feel the chill, feel the chill movin' down your spine

When we recall and
Realize
Make you realize

I've got the power to hypnotize
Make a play, mesmerize
Feel the chills up and down your spine
I'm gonna make you fly

Your eyes playin' tricks on you
Your mind will seek the truth
You know you're gonna make it through

I said move it
Make you prove it
Shake it up, shake it down
Feel the chill, feel the chill movin' down your spine

When we recall and
Realize, hey, yeah
Gonna make you realize

I got the power to electrify
And make or break or satisfy
Feel a chill up and down your spine
I'm gonna make you fly
Fly, fly

When we recall and
Realize
Gonna make you realize

I got the power to hypnotize
Make a play, mesmerize
Feel the chills up and down your spine
I'm gonna make you fly

Rejection

You better give me what I want
Or I'll bleed on you
You don't give me what I need
I'ma come for you
Better keep me on your side or I'll find you in the night
I've got your name and your number and I'll set you all ablaze
Best give me what I want
Or I'll come for you
Yes, I'll come for you

If you reject me
I'll take what I want
Disrespect me
And you get burned
Best keep me satisfied
Or you know I'll eat you alive
If you reject me
I'll take what I want

Hey, hey, hey
I got a ball and chain
And I'll hunt for you
I ain't got no name
I'll look out for you
Revenge, it ain't a sin, won't doubt I'm comin' in
Kick me when I'm down, stand up without a sound
Better play my game
But I'll bleed on you
Get to feed on you

If you reject me
I'll take what I want
Take what I want
Disrespect me
And you get burned
Now, I don't want your money or greed
You better give me just what I need
If you reject me
I'll take what I want
Hey, hey, take what I want

If you reject me
I'll take what I want
Disrespect me
And you get burned
Now, I don't want your money or greed
You better give me just what I need
If you reject me
I'll take what I want
Hey, hey, take what I want
Take what I want
Take what I want

Shot In The Dark

I need a pick me up
A rollin' thunder truck
I need a shot of you
That tattooed lady wild
Like a mountain wide
I got a hunger, that's the loving truth

You got a long night coming
And a long night pumping
You got the right position
The heat of transmission

A shot in the dark
Make you feel alright
A shot in the dark
All through the whole night
A shot in the dark
Yeah, electric sparks
A shot in the dark
Beats a walk in the park, yeah

Blast it on the radio
Breaking on the TV show
Send it out on all the wires
And if I didn't know any better
Your mission is to party
'Til the broad daylight

You got a long night coming
And a long night going
You got the right position
The heat of transmission

A shot in the dark
Make you feel alright
A shot in the dark
All through the whole night
A shot in the dark
Yeah, electric spark
A shot in the dark
Beats a walk in the park, yeah

My mission is to hit ignition

A shot in the dark
Make you feel alright
A shot in the dark
All through the whole night
A shot in the dark
Yeah, electric sparks
A shot in the dark
Beats a walk in the park, yeah

A shot in the dark
Ooh, a shot in the dark
A shot in the dark
A shot in the dark
A shot in the dark
Make you feel alright
A shot in the dark
Beats a walk in the park, yeah

Through The Mists Of Time

See dark shadows
On the walls
See the pictures
Some hang, some fall
And the painted faces
All in a line
And the painted ladies
Yeah, the painted ladies

Through the mists of time
The mists of time
All the restless cries
Through the mists of time
On a mountain high
Through the mists of time

Hear the whisper
Of the whirlwind
Monster shadows
A light gone dim
Dark horses
Roam in my sleep
Mystic voices
Conjure up our dreams
And the painted ladies
Yeah, the painted ladies

Through the mists of time
The mists of time
All the restless cries
Through the mists of time
On a mountain high
Through the mists of time

And the painted faces
Looking so divine

Through the mists of time
The mists of time
All the restless cries
Through the mists of time
On a mountain high
Searchin' for a sign
Through the mists of time
The mists of time, time

Kick You When Youre Down

As you're slipping down the wall
And you're headed for a fall

Why do they kick you when you're down?

Witchs Spell

Let me tell you your fortune
It could be sinister or maybe not
Like a leopard, can't change its own spots

Ride a moon beam
Sail the starlight
A blaze in the night sky
See the witch's flight

Caught in a witch's spell
Got a tale to tell
Caught in a witch's spell
Got a tale to tell
Caught in a witch's spell

Good time maker who likes it hot
Like a card playin' shark, who takes the whole lot
And that's a lot

Ride a moonbeam
Sail the starlight
A blaze in the night sky
See the witch's flight

Caught in a witch's spell
Got a tale to tell
Caught in a witch's spell
Got a tale to tell
Caught in a witch's spell

It's all coming to ya
It's all coming through ya
I get bathed in a light
The spell's just right

Caught in a witch's spell
Got a tale to tell
Caught in a witch's spell
Got a tale to tell
Caught in a witch's spell

Crystal balls and an almanac
She gonna take you to hell and back
I've got potions, snake oil style
Good luck charms and a witch's spell

Demon Fire

He loves to drive 'em crazy with his evil lips
Great guns are blazing, what a deadly trip

Yeah, born of no family, born of no creed
Yeah, raised by a jackal, raised a bad seed

You better look around
Before you hit the ground
Give me no quarrel, life's all crime

Like a devil on a deadline
Gonna send you down

Demon fire
Is all you desire
Demon fire
Get closer, fire

Ooh, yeah

Seeking all power, gonna hunt you down
Follow along on the flash, gonna knock you out

You better look around
Hear that evil sound
Give me no quarter, all drenched in grime, huh

With all the bad intentions
Gonna send you down

Demon fire
Is all you desire
Demon fire
Get closer, fire

Demon fire
Flames burn higher
Demon fire
It's an all-out hellfire

Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, demon fire
Is all you desire
Demon fire
It glows sapphire

Demon fire
Flames burn higher
Demon fire
It's an all-out hellfire

Fire, demon fire
Fire, demon fire

Wild Reputation

In a one-horse town
They try to pull you down
And make you feel out of place
Don't care to look in your face
Ooh

Got a wild reputation
Got a wild reputation
Hey, hey, ooh, yeah

On a hot, summer day
Dollar bills come your way
Somebody robbed the bank, ooh
They picked you out of the ranks, hey

Got a wild reputation
Got a wild reputation
Got a wild reputation
Got a wild reputation

(Oh, oh, yeah, oh, yeah)
You better keep away
(Oh, oh, yeah, oh, yeah)
Don't get in my face, oh, yeah
(Oh, oh, yeah, hey, yeah)

When I'm comin' down main street
Get outta my way
I ain't stoppin' for nobody

Got a wild reputation
Got a wild reputation
Got a wild reputation
Got a wild reputation, wild, yeah (oh, yeah)
Gotta keep away (hey, yeah)
I ain't stoppin' for nobody (oh, yeah)
I've got a wild reputation (hey, yeah)

No Mans Land

Come on need
You gotta get on board

Come on new plain
Come on need to get out
I said, come on new plain
Come on, don't you mess me about

You see
I tried and I found no way to get out
I said I tried and I found
There's no comin' back for me

(No man's land)
Know you gotta get away
(No man's land)
Fight and live another day

Caught in a highway
'Cause you know I need to get out, hey hey
Head out on the wild plain
Come on don't you fool me around

You know I sought and I found
It's hard to get out
I said, I fought and I found
There's no comin' back for me

(No man's land)
Know you gotta get away
(No man's land)
Fight and live another day
(No man's land)
In the middle of the fray
(No man's land)
Fly, fly, fly away

(No man's land)
No man's land
(No man's land)
Said there's no comin' back for me

(No man's land)
Know you gotta get away
(No man's land)
Live to fight on another day
(No man's land)
In the middle of the fray
(No man's land)
Fly, fly, fly away

Know you gotta get away

Live to fight another, fight another day

Systems Down

Unchained
Feel it burnin' up the heat
See the flames
Scorchin' everything it seeks

We got a chain reaction
It needs immediate action
This furnace is about to blast

Systems are going down
Systems are burning out
And they all fall down

Untamed
Like a tiger searchin' feat
Ain't no game
As the earth shakes beneath your feet

We got a plan of action
Rising heat to the maximum
Who knows if this place implodes

Systems are going down
We got a chain reaction
Systems are burning out
And they all fall down

This furnace is about to blast

Systems are going down
Systems are burning out
And they all fall down
(Systems down)
Overload
(Systems down)
See the flames flow
(Systems down)
Goin' down
(Systems down)
Watch it burn to the ground

Money Shot

Feel in the rock 'n' roll mood
Gonna make you feel good
Might be a little dangerous
I believe, I believe, you will see, it could be
Contagious

Doctor, what's the antidote?
Lady, try the money shot
Doctor, what's the antidote?
Lady, just try the money shot
Best taken when hot

I got a good prescription
For the state of your condition
You gotta take it three times a day
Or as much, as much as you need
That's my diagnosis

Doctor, what's the antidote?
Lady, try the money shot
Doctor, what's the antidote?
Lady, just try the money shot

Try the money shot
Hey

Now take this down
Gonna send you on your way
'Cause I believe I solved your case
I'll give you your relief

Doctor, what's the antidote?
Lady, try the money shot
Doctor, what's the antidote?
Lady, just try the money shot

We got a good cure
For what ails you
It won't fail you
Try the money shot
Doctor, show me the antidote
I'll try the money shot
I'll try the money shot

Code Red

Loading up the battery, raising up insanity
Beating out the old time blues
Crawling up the walls, sleeping on a waterfall
Belting out that tune

Strike one, strike two
Set your guns ablaze
Strike three, call emergency
You're gonna play it safe

Speeding up the road
Tearing up the Highway Code
Ain't gonna slow me down
No need to hesitate
Ain't coming up late
Hit the brakes, don't mess with fate

Hard fight, rough night
Dead in your sight
Fire light, fire bright
Fire in the night

Station to station
Yeah, code red
Battle stations
Ooh, code red
Weapons ready
Code red
Fire one, fire two
Code red

Now pay attention

Reputation on your mind
Enemy within your sight
Fire up, fire straight, fire free
Situation on the line
In the pale moon light
Run quick, run silent, run deep

Hard fight, rough night
Dead in your sight
Fire light, fire bright
Fire in the night

Station to station
Yeah, code red
Battle stations
Code, code red
Weapons ready
Code red
Fire one, fire two
Code red

Hey

Station to station
Yeah, code red
Battle stations
Code, code red
Weapons ready

Fire one, fire two

Hey, code red
