Reaching for Heaven
Heavy Stereo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They say be careful what you wish for
Cos if it comes true, what you do?
They say be careful what you fish for
Cos if you get to know, what's it gonna show?
Sometimes we might be missing
The one thing that makes us whole
Yeh every life has it's mission
And it just don't cover the distance
So here I go, whoa
I say hey now, heaven
If I reach for you, will you come?
I say hey now, heaven
If I reach for you, will you come?
Yeh here you come, i see you now now now
Here you come, i cansee you now
Hard to know where we've been
If we don't know where we're meant to be
If you never dive
If you never swim
Every smile had it's grin
So take a moment to breathe
Breathe...
And say hey now, heaven




If I reach for you, will you come?
Now here you come

Head bangers in leather
Sparks fly in the dead of the night
It all comes together
When they shoot out the lights
50,000 wats of power
And it's pushin' overload
The beast is ready to devour
All the metal they can hold
reachin overload
Start to explode

It's your one way ticket to midnight
Call it Heavy Metal
Higher than high, feelin' just right
Call it Heavy Metal
Desperation on a red line
Call it Heavy Metal noise

Tight pants and lipstick
She's riding on razor's edge
She holds her own against the boys
Cuts through the crowd just like a wedge
Ohh, can you feel the static
So many contacts being made
We've got up front fanatics
Tearing down the barricade
To reach the stage
Can you feel the rage

It's your one way ticket to midnight
Call it Heavy Metal
Higher than high, feelin' just right
Call it Heavy Metal
Desperation on a red line
Call it Heavy Metal noise

@bob gunter You must not have been a teenage boy when this movie came out. Back then, it was all about the boobage! The music was an awesome bonus, but let's face it, guys like boobs.

Plus the south park episode was funny in it's own right.
