Rise Again
U.F.O. Lyrics

Going to Jamaica, warm and coral waters flow, there she goes, sun kissed her body, in this magic feel love grow, love grows, feel like letting go
The singer is describing a woman in Jamaica who is experiencing feelings of love in the beautiful surroundings. He feels like he wants to let go of everything and give in to these feelings.

Hey Mr. Saturday night, ? ? right out the hole, it stops in a minute, it's right down in it, hey, we're really back on a roll
The singer is addressing someone he knows as Mr. Saturday night, and the ? ? right out of the hole implies some unknown activity. He seems excited and back in a good mood.

I don't know why, I don't know why, feel so good I could die, I could die, great escape, I'll be there, by the skin of my teeth, on a wish and a prayer, with a head full of hammers, both feet in the grave, I'm gonna stand, I'm gonna rise again
The singer isn't sure why, but he feels amazing - so much so that he feels like he could die from happiness. He has escaped something (it's not clear what), and he intends to hang on by a thread to make it through, with the odds stacked against him. Though he feels like everything is conspiring to drag him down, he's determined to survive and come back stronger.

Dream time (Lavinia? ?), even though the odds are stacked, she's coming back (moon monkeys barking? ) in a bitter chocolate glow, there she goes, feel like letting go...
The singer mentions someone called Lavinia, and even though things seem to be against her, she's making a comeback. There's some strange imagery involving moon monkeys barking in a bitter chocolate glow, but ultimately the singer feels overwhelmed by the situation and just wants to let go.

Hey, Mr. Cool Jazz nights, let the fever go, it stops in a minute, I'm down in it, hey, play it long and slow
The singer addresses someone else, Mr. Cool Jazz Nights. He feels the fever building up and implores Mr. Cool Jazz Nights to let it go. He's already given in and is headlong into it, but asks for some calm, slow music to accompany him in this state.

I don't know why, I don't know why, feels so good I could die, I could die, with a great escape, I'll be there, by the skin of my teeth on a wish and a prayer, with a head full of hammers, both feet in the grave, I'm gonna stand, I'm gonna rise again
The singer repeats the refrain from earlier, which refers to his feeling amazing and making a desperate attempt to survive. He's determined to stand up and come back stronger.

With a great escape, I'll be there, by the skin of my teeth, on a wish and a prayer, with a head full of hammers both feet in the grave, I'm gonna stand, I'm gonna rise again, I've been stricken, I'll be there, by the skin of my teeth, on a wish and a prayer, and I'm not going down, both feet in the grave, I'm gonna stand, I'm gonna rise again
The song ends with more repetition of the refrain, emphasizing the singer's belief in himself that he can survive whatever is thrown at him and come back better than ever before.

Dream time (Lavinia? ? ), feel like letting go.
The song ends with a repetition of the earlier line about Lavinia, and once again the singer feels like he just wants to give in and let go of everything.
