Steelheart - Sticky Side Up Lyrics






Standin' on the front line, a bullet in my head
Run a bad luck highway mile, ridin' the rails naked and dead
Sins of the flesh, seasons of the witch
Ain't nobody gonna scratch my itch
Spin another lie and tell me it's alright, yeah it's alright
It's ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!

[Chorus:]
Smooth side down, sticky side up
Watch me drown in your lovin' cup
Nail me to the floor, roll me in the rug
Smooth side down, sticky sticky side up
Scratchin' on the back door, ringin' in my ears
Hang dog on a ball and chain, gettin' high on the Devil's tears
Give me a shovel, I'll dig my own grave
Rooster go pimpin' for some other slave
The knife's in my back, smile and tell me it's alright, yeah it's alright
It's ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!

[Chorus]

Smooth side down, sticky side up
Watch me drown in your lovin' cup
Nail me to the floor, roll me in the rug
Smooth side down, sticky sticky - sticky sticky side

[Solo]

(Oh yeah) Smooth side down (oh smooth it up, baby, that's right)

[Chorus 2x]

Smooth side down, sticky sticky, sticky sticky, sticky sticky side up!

    Greatest singer EVER! I noticed the grunge imagery creeping into a Hair Metal Band's wardrobe here. Looks like Trixter and Jackyl...on Native Tongue Bret had a flannel shirt around his waist. Ugly Kid Joe had a Pearl Jammish image also. Corporate Music Industry forcing a dress code. Sad.

  72. b.... g....

    My daughters say i won't grow up because i love this music. I tell them then theres a lot people who haven't grown up then. I'd say 90 percent of the adults that grew up to this music all say the same thing. I wish we had the 80's back. So i guess i won't be growing up too soon. Also my 5 yo granddaughter loves mili. She loves rock. Not this crap today.

    LADO PEGAJOSO PRA CIMA

    De pé na linha de frente, uma bala na minha cabeça
    Correndo um quilômetro na estrada má sorte, cavalgando os trilhos nus com os mortos
    Pecados da carne, estações de bruxaria
    Não há ninguém que vai coçar a coceira
    Gire outra mentira e diz que está tudo bem, sim está tudo bem
    É ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!

    Lado liso para baixo, para cima lado pegajoso
    Observe-me afogar em seu copo amando
    Prego-me no chão, rolo no tapete
    Lado liso para baixo, lado adesivo adesivo para cima

    Coçando na porta de trás, soando em meus ouvidos
    Cão com uma bola e uma corrente grande fincando em lágrimas do diabo
    Dá-me uma pá, eu vou cavar a minha própria sepultura
    Vai cafetar outro escravo
    A faca está em minhas costas, sorriem e dizem-me que está tudo bem, sim está tudo bem
    É ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!

    Lado liso para baixo, para cima lado pegajoso
    Observe-me afogar em seu copo amando
    Prego-me no chão, rolo no tapete
    Lado liso para baixo, lado adesivo adesivo para cima

    (solo)

    lado (oh yeah) suavemente para baixo (oh alisá-lo, baby, isso mesmo)

    lado liso para baixo, pegajoso pegajoso, pegajoso pegajoso, pegajoso lado adesivo para cima!
