Lyrics 54/40 or Fight - Dead Moon

54/40 or Fight

I’ve got a train drivin' through my head
Got a fever burnin' in my bed
If my telephone’s ringin', somebody’s dead on the line
I’m gettin' mad I’m gettin' pissed
I can’t handle much more of this
Everybody sets me off, man, I’m walkin' on ice
I need something strong to pull me through
I’ve got to find a way to kick these blues
It’s that cold in the night and I’ve got blood in my eyes
I say 54/40 or fight
54/40 or fight
54, 54, 54/40 or fight
Alright
I’ve go a queesy feelin' in my guts
Can’t you see that I’ve had enough
Everybody sets me off, man, I’m over the edge
I’ve got a time-bomb tickin' inside
Fire burnin' in my eyes
No where to hide and no where to turn
I’ve got a needle deep down in my soul
I’ve got nerves goin' out of control
My adrenalin’s pumpin' and I-m ready to burst
I say 54/40 or fight
54/40 or fight
54, 54, 54/40 or fight
Alright
I’ve got a rocket trail in my mind
I’ve got a feelin' that I haven’t much time
I’ve got a time-bomb tickin' with nowhere to turn
Now these restraints that you’re puttin' on me
The dealin' with society
This, the final approach, is my cause for alarm
So don’t tell me what I was before
Or expect me to be something more
I’m on the defense and I’m over the line
I say 54/40 or fight
54/40 or fight
54, 54, 54/40 or fight
Alright
