Can You Take It Lyrics by Shy Reptiles

Shy Reptiles

1989

And now as one escapes, they say, a-ha, ah0ha
And when they shut that case
They say, can you take it
Don't need the red lanes
Don't need that code
Only the headlights, only the road
Don't play those head games
Don't read those lines
Let that emotion come out inside
He takes the bright side
She hold the gun
He takes the high wire
She hits the drum
You turn the lock
It's in your mind
There's only one lifе
Don't let it slide
But can you take it
Hеy did you feel it, feel it strike
And did you feel that, feel that knife
And was it tight
Oh can you turn that, turn that key
And can you hold that, hold that dream
And can you take it
Don't leave the red lines
Don't cross that road
Don't read the head lines
Only the code
She turns the lock
She reads your mind
It's only highlights
Don't let it slide
Cos you can take it, take it
