Meat Loaf - Tear Me Down lyrics
Your rating:
Listen I was born on the other side, just always looking in I made it over the great divide, now I'm coming for you Your forces lined up in battle, your soldiers and your machines The sun's been blacked out by the shadows, the darkest hour now you've ever seen But I'm easy and I'm serious They try and tear me down You want me, baby, I dare you Try and tear me down I rose up on the doctor's slab like Lazarus from the pit And everyone wants to take a stab, decorate me with blood, graffiti and spit I've been held up on money, I've been beaten out of spite You want a piece of me, honey? Lose our win: you know you've been in a fight But I'm easy and I'm serious They try and tear me down You want me, baby, I dare you Try and tear me down On March 6th, 1836 the walls of the Alamo fell to the Mexican army. After a 12-day siege the troops of Santa Ana were victorious, but too exhausted to hold on and the Texans won the war. It's further from El Paso to Texarkana, then from New York to Chicago. And when it joined the Union, Texas was the biggest state. Yeah, everything from Texas is big, larger than life and none bigger than little Marvin Aday. So big that his father called him Meat Loaf. He grew into a big man with a big voice and he sings big songs and has big hits. You can try and tear him down. Now there ain't much difference between a bridge and a wall Without me right in the middle, baby, you'll be nothing at all Well, I'm easy and I'm serious They try and tear me down You want me, baby, I dare you Try and tear me down And I'm easy and I'm serious They try and tear me down You want me, baby, I dare you Oh, try and tear me down, oh, oh Come on, try and tear me down
