Pumping On Steel
Billy Idol Lyrics

Let there be light (Oh yeah)
A call for enlightenment and positive energy

Divide heaven tonight
An expression of the need for a significant change in the world

Oh open my sight (Oh yeah)
Expression of the need for better insight and understanding

Yes pump it on home tonight
An encouragement to take action towards change

I see hearts are breaking
Observation of the negative impact of society's current state of affairs

I feel tears falling
Acknowledgment of the emotional distress caused by societal issues

Oh yeah scenes from a million years
A reminder of the history of the world and its impact on the current state of affairs

I want lovers talking
Desire for people to communicate and understand each other better

See their fear subsiding
Hope for the reduction of fear as a barrier to communication

Sliding down cross a million years.
Reflection on the vastness of time and the need for progress in the present

But when I get home
Transition to a more personal perspective

I walk right up your street
Direct approach to engage with someone in a more intimate manner

Investigate all that's sweet (yeah)
Expression of curiosity and desire for exploration of pleasurable experiences

Lead me baby
Request for guidance and support in achieving intimacy

Switch on your lights
Request for someone to be more open and honest

Tonight
Immediate emphasis on the present moment

Oooh
Expression of pleasure

Pumping on steel tonight
A metaphor for being physically intimate and passionate

Gonna be fine that's right
Confident expectation of a positive outcome

Yes alright
Confirmation of approval and excitement

Man myth breaker
Challenging the conventional beliefs and stereotypes about men and masculinity

Woman man maker
Empowering women and advocating for gender equality

Singin' scenes from a million years
Re-emphasis on the vastness of time and the need for progress

Oh, now we're talking
Acknowledgment of progress in communication and understanding

Oooh fears breaking
Hope for the reduction of fear as a barrier to progress and intimacy

Running down cross a million years
Movement towards the future and the need for continued progress

But when I get home
Returning to the personal perspective

I walk right to your door
Another direct approach to intimate engagement

Ha my baby I want some more
Expression of the desire for continued physical intimacy

Lead me girl
Repeated request for guidance and support in achieving intimacy

We'll be
Emphasis on the shared intimacy and connection

Shake it out wild that's right
Expression of the need for freedom and abandonment in physical intimacy

C'mon yeah
Encouragement and support for the continuation of the intimate moment

Lovin' tonight (oooww)
Celebration and enjoyment of the present intimate moment

S'gonna be wild that's right
Anticipation of continued physical intimacy and freedom

Alright.
Confirmation of approval and excitement

Got to be fine that's right
Expression of essentiality for positivity in personal experiences

Oh gonna be wild that's right
Anticipation of continued physical intimacy and freedom

Lead me baby
Repeated request for guidance and support in achieving intimacy

Pumping on steel
Reiteration of the metaphor for being physically intimate and passionate

Yes'n well alright
Confirmation of approval and excitement of the present intimate moment

Yes'n well alright
Repeated confirmation of approval and excitement of the present intimate moment

Yes'n well alright
Final confirmation of approval and excitement of the present intimate moment
