Def Leppard - Diamond Star Halos Album Lyrics

---

Take What You Want

Love's complicated, love it or hate it
I'm in this to win
You don't have to believe it, take it or leave it
Just let it begin

From two different worlds we come crashing in
It's like a brand new day (ooh)
Stand shoulder to shoulder, soldier to soldier
So show me the way

Take what you want, take what you need
Take anything, but just leave some for me
So take what you like, if you like what you see
There's a price to be paid 'cause it sure ain't for free

Life is elective, the unexpected
It's part of the deal
Don't try to move me, this ain't like a movie
This ending is real

From two different worlds we come crashing in
It's like a perfect storm (ooh)
Stand shoulder to shoulder, soldier to soldier
So just bring it on

So take what you want, take what you need
Take anything, but just leave some for me
So take what you like, if you like what you see
There's a price to be paid 'cause it sure ain't for free

All alone, return to stone
As the king is overthrown
The truth begins to shine
And it's mine for now and forever

So take what you want, take what you need
Take anything, but just leave some for me
So take what you like, if you like what you see
There's a price to be paid 'cause it sure ain't for free

Whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa

Whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa

Kick

You're in my head again
And I know where it's goin'
I know I'm gonna need
Another taste of your poison, yeah

You're the pulse to my motor
My electric desire
You're my star-blazed rhythm
Let me dance in your fire

And I just can't stop it
All night, everyday
And I just can't stop it
And I love it that way

I don't wanna kick, kick
Kick your habit
'Cause you never quit, quit
I gotta have it
I don't wanna kick, kick
Kick your habit
'Cause you never quit, quit
I gotta have it

Na-na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na
So won't you gimme some more
I said, na-na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na
So won't you gimme some more
Ah, kick it

You're racing through my brain
Like a bolt of white lightnin'
And I can't sleep it off
'Cause your love's always strikin'

You're the tonic to my thirst
Sweet nectar of sin
I keep runnin' away
But you keep draggin' me in

And I just can't stop it
All night, everyday
And I just can't stop it
And I love it that way

I don't wanna kick, kick
Kick your habit
'Cause you never quit, quit
I gotta have it
I don't wanna kick, kick
Kick your habit
'Cause you never quit, quit
I gotta have it

Na-na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na
So won't you gimme some more
I said, na-na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na
So won't you gimme some more
Ah, kick it

Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh

I don't wanna kick, kick
Kick your habit
'Cause you never quit, quit
I gotta have it
I don't wanna kick, kick
Kick your habit
'Cause you never quit, quit
I gotta have it

Na-na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na
So won't you gimme some more
I said, na-na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na
So won't you gimme some more
Ah, kick it

This Guitar

At seventeen
I hadn't seen
The thing that makes us real
Then I found you
At twenty-four
I wanted more
When no one else would listen
You sang to me

You're my shoulder to cry on
You're the best of best friends
You brought fire to my fingers
And brought joy to no end
My brother, my sister
My lover, my wife
It's crazy I know
But this guitar saved my life



Broken down, border town
Feels like the end of time
Without you
You came to me
And made me see
Caress me with your honesty endlessly

You're my shoulder to cry on
You're the best of best friends
You brought fire to my fingers
And brought joy to no end
My brother, my sister
My lover, my wife
It's crazy I know
But this guitar saved my life

Me with you, you with me
The ghosts all disappear
Naturally
You lay to rest
My emptiness
And show the world your beauty
Through me

You're my shoulder to cry on
You're the best of best friends
You brought fire to my fingers
You brought joy to no end
My brother, my sister
My lover, my wife
It's crazy I know
But this guitar
This guitar saved my life

SOS Emergency

I see my life go flashing by
At the mercy of your call
Sailin' in on broken wings
I'm not ready for the fall

(Whoa) So pick up the pieces
(Whoa) Get on the right track
(Whoa) Let's make a connection
Turn me on 'cause I want
My life back



SOS emergency
Come break me out
Come set me free
I'm in a crisis, can't you see?
It's sweet surrender
Rescue me

Running out of chances
I'm just waiting for a sign
This heavy heart is
Under pressure
And beating out of time

(Whoa) So get me connectеd
(Whoa) Pull me out of the road
(Whoa) My cardiac is arrestеd
Plug me in and watch my mind explode

SOS emergency
Set all those lifeboats
Out to sea
I'm in a crisis, hear my plea
Call all the angels
Rescue me

(Whoa) So pick up the pieces
(Whoa) Get on the right track
(Whoa) Let's make a connection
Turn me on 'cause I want my life
Turn me on, just turn me on


SOS emergency
An alternate reality
I'm in a crisis desperately
It's terminal
Rescue me
SOS emergency
Come break me out
Come set me free
I'm in a crisis, can't you see?
It's cataclysmic
Rescue me
Rescue, rescue, rescue me

Liquid Dust

Phase away
Laze away
Dreaming of that feeling
A hazy way
Came to play
Through that window
Came a castaway

There's not enough hours in the day
And all the rains that came my way



Liquid dust, liquid dust
Flows like a river
Going down to the ocean
Liquid dust, liquid dust
Floats like a stream
Going over and over

Broken glass
This too shall pass
That sensation of elation
Golden throne
Sits all alone
I should've known
That bird had flown

There's not enough hours in the day
And all the rains they came today

Liquid dust, liquid dust
Flows like a river
Going down to the ocean
Liquid dust, liquid dust
Floats like a stream
Going over and over

Liquid dust, liquid dust
Flows like a river
Going down to the ocean
Liquid dust, liquid dust
Floats like a stream
Going over and over


Liquid dust, liquid dust
Flows like a river
Going down to the ocean
Liquid dust, liquid dust
Floats like a stream
Going over and over

Over and over
Over and over
Over and over
Over and over

U Rok Mi

No matter what you breathe
It's where we at
We're more like make-believe
In white and black
Come-a-start me up
Come on up and make a sound
Shake me like a shock
Come and shake me to the ground
Uh!

Shock!
Shock!



In the darkness
I saw the light
The sorest eyes
The sharpest sight
A supernova
A black hole
Took out my senses
I took complete control

When that feeling starts to show
I lеt that soul-glow flow
Oh-oh, oh, oh

You rock me
Come on and rock me
You rock mе
Come on and rock me

I think it's too late
To save my soul
Some kinda power
Is swallowing me whole
So when the light is dark
I make my stand
I love you like a song
Only you can turn me on
Come and take me by the hand


When that feeling starts to show
I let that soul-glow flow
Oh-oh, oh, oh

You rock me
Come on and rock me
You rock me
Come on and rock me

Shock!
Shock!
Shock!

Interstellar, outer space
Inspiration, human race

You rock me
Come on and rock me
You rock me
Come on and rock me

You rock me (Only you can rock me)
Come on and rock me (Rock me baby, rock me)
You rock me (Only you can rock me)
Come on and rock me

Goodbye for Good This Time

How many times has tomorrow
Been promised to someone?
How many chances came
When tomorrow was already gone?
How many times will truth
And forgiveness stand in our way?
There's a lie in belief
The heart is a thief every time

Where does the future lie
In this godforsaken place?
The heart has a dark devotion
And it breaks you leaving no trace
This is a song of survival
But the tune is starting to fade
There's nowhеre to run
Nowhere to hidе anymore



It's goodbye for good this time
As love lies broken in two
I'd move Heaven and Earth this time
To cross that wasteland with you

I'm walking into the storm
Just as the night brings the dawn
I am reborn

It's goodbye for good this time
As love lies broken in two
I'd move Heaven and Earth this time
To cross that wasteland with you

It's goodbye for good this time
As love slips into the night
I'd move Heaven and Earth this time
I've one last battle to fight

I'm walking into the storm
Just as the night brings the dawn
I am reborn

All We Need

If you could read my mind now
What do you think you would see?
You'd see my life in your hands now
You got a hold over me
I see it in your eyes 'cause they tell no lies
I guess it's part of the thrill
You're like a shooting star with a vacant heart
That's going in for the kill

We got a good thing going
So don't let it die



All we need is some love and emotion
All we have is a moment in time
(All we need) All we need is a promise unbroken
(All we need) And to believe in the dream
Is all we need

This ain't no bedtime story
This one you nevеr forget
You're like a night nеver ending
That I can't wait to regret
I can't control myself, don't want nobody else
Is this too good to be true?
You gotta dance just like there's no one watchin'
So come on kick off your shoes

We got a good thing going
So don't let it die

All we need is some love and emotion
All we have is a moment in time
(All we need) All we need is a promise unbroken
(All we need) And to believe in the dream
Is all we need

All we need is some love and emotion
All we have is a moment in time
(All we need) All we need is a promise unbroken
(All we need) And to believe in the dream
Is all we need


All we need is some love and emotion
All we have is a moment in time
(All we need) All we need is a promise unbroken
(All we need) And to believe in the dream
Is all we need

Oh, it's all we need
Yeah, it's all we need
It's all we need
Yeah, it's all we need
We got a good thing going
Oh, it's all we need
We got a good thing going
Yeah, it's all we need
We got a good thing going
So don't let it die

Open Your Eyes

When God is asleep
And the world is wide open
It's fallen for a beautiful lie
We're in this too deep
The timeline is broken
Just like a shadow frozen in time

Open your eyes
'Cause looking up ain't what it seems
When it crushes all your dreams
Open your eyes
Oh, this feeling's nothing new
So let the truth wash over you



I'm tired of this game
Come down from your mountain
We're lost in all this darkness and fear
And all that we crave
Is a seat at your table
Come feed us, watch this pain disappear

Open your eyes
'Cause looking up ain't what it seems
When it crushes all your dreams
Open your eyes
Oh, this feeling's nothing new
So let the truth wash over you

So, what have we done?
Heaven knows which way we'll go
As we lie wide awake and dreaming
We stare at the sun
Watch the dying of the light
As the colours turn to black and white

Open your eyes
'Cause looking up ain't what it seems
When it crushes all your dreams
Open your eyes
Oh, this feeling's nothing new
So let the truth wash over you

Gimme a Kiss

Oh, what a night
I couldn't feel better
I don't know just where to begin
You read me like a book
Right down to the letters
Written all over your skin

It's funny what love will make you do
It's more than just the call of the wild (Ooh-la-la-la)
You know it's that pout
That makes me wanna shout out loud
(Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh) Oh yeah



Gimme a kiss that rocks
Plunder my skin
Be the tick for my tock
Show me a thrill that shocks
When the thunder begins
Gimme a kiss that rocks

Oh, what a thrill
It's no bitter pill
A taste that makes me shiver and shake
You got that touch of class
With no strings attached
So show me all the magic you make

It's funny what lust will do to you
It's more than just a moth to a flame (Ooh-la-la-la)
You know it's that dream
That makes me wanna scream out loud
(Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh) Oh yeah

Gimme a kiss that rocks
Sonic boom bang
Be the yin to my yang
Show me a thrill that shocks
When the thunder begins
Gimme a kiss that rocks


I want a real kiss
Don't want just any kiss
One that I just can't resist
So kiss this

Gimme a kiss that rocks
Plunder my skin
Be the tick for my tock
Show me a thrill that shocks
When the thunder begins

Gimme a kiss that rocks
Knock on my door
Gimme four to the floor
Show me a thrill that shocks
When the thunder begins
Gimme a kiss that rocks

Lifeless

I couldn't breathe
As I watched you leave
I thought we had something
But I wanted more
I played my cards
But I pushed you too hard
I feel like a shipwreck
Washed up on your shore
Something's happening
That I couldn't see
I can't get my head around
What you did to me



You left me lifeless
You left me cold as a stone
You left me out on my own
You let me go (You let me)
You left me lifeless
You let me take it alone
You left mе down on my knees
You let me go (You let mе)
You left me lifeless

I can't let go
It's body and soul
I'm drowning in memories
So just throw me a line
I feel betrayed
And my nerves are all frayed
Like the last rose of summer
As it dies on the vine

Something's happening
But I didn't know
I can't turn the time back
And it's starting to show

You left me lifeless
You left me cold as a stone (Cold as a stone)
You left me out on my own
You let me go (You let me)
You left me lifeless
You let me take it alone (Take it alone)
You left me down on my knees
You let me go (You let me)
You left me lifeless


I just can't believe
A word they said
I've got these voices in my head
And they won't leave me alone
So come on now, come in
From the cold
Don't leave me lifeless

You left me lifeless
You left me cold as a stone (Cold as a stone)
You left me out on my own
You let me go (You let me)
You left me lifeless
You let me take it alone (Take it alone)
You left me down on my knees
You let me go (You let me)
You left me lifeless
You left me cold as a stone (Cold as a stone)
You left me out on my own
You let me go (You let me)
You left me lifeless
You let me take it alone (Take it alone)
You left me down on my knees
You let me go (You let me, you let me)
You left me lifeless

Unbreakable

I'm heading for a heartache
'Cause there's a hurricane coming my way
Can't hold me down forever
So cut me loose before I fade away
I'm not ready for judgement day

This ain't no make believe but
I should've listened to my heart this time
'Cause I can barely breathe
My pulse is racin' like the scene of a crime
So good it can't be legal
So dangerous and lethal
And you know it
Good love's so hard to find now
So, opеn up your mind now
I'm about to blow it



Just look at these chains
I'm tied up and insanе
(Unbreakable, unshakeable
Unbreakable, unshakeable)
Just look at these chains
Yes, I'll say it again
It's unmistakably love

You got me bustin' out
These flames of love could set this house on fire
So come on, take a chance
Come on, don't make me dance alone
We can take this higher

Just look at these chains
I'm tied up and insane
(Unbreakable, unshakeable
Unbreakable, unshakeable)
Just look at these chains
Yes, I'll say it again
It's unmistakably love

Just look at these chains
I'm tied up and insane
(Unbreakable, unshakeable
Unbreakable, unshakeable)
Just look at these chains
Yes, I'll say it again
Oh, no, no, no, no

Just look at these chains
I try to break them in vain
Unbreakable, unshakeable
Unbreakable, unshakeable
Just look at these chains
Let me say it again
It's unmistakably love

From Here to Eternity

Can't you see
There's a hole where my heart used to be?
Set me free
From here to eternity

Do you still hear me
When I call your name?
My constant companions
Are heartache and shame
Now there's a good reason
They're one and the same



I pulled out my gun
You had nowhere to run
As I watched you get shot down in flames
Yes, it's true
I did what I did for you

Can't you see
There's a hole where my heart used to be?
Set me free
From here to eternity

The devil may take me
But you're not to blame
Just a fatal attraction
That I can't explain
So, lord give me shelter
From out of the rain

There's no sideways glances
I'm all out of chances
They're coming to take me away
Yes, it's true
But what more could I do for you?

Can't you see
There's a hole where my heart used to be?
Set me free
From here to eternity


As we walk into the dark and slam the door
Our souls are entwined forevermore
Broken to the core

Can't you see (Can't you see baby?)
There's a hole where my heart used to be? (Yeah, yeah)
Set me free (Set me free, baby)
From here to eternity (Oh-oh)
