[Verse 1]

Train, train burning like an absolute

Drunk with the love of the fire

Brain, brain burning and a leather boot

Kicking like he never gets tired...

I saw the coming of the faster-than-light speed

Burning track, conventional fool

Wham, crack, bam, slap

Far-out-of-sight speed

Hammered like a kicking mule

[Pre-Chorus]

Here we come now

Here we go

[Chorus]

Need you now

No mistakes

Stand up tall and give me

What it takes

[Verse 2]

Hit the ground running

I was faster than light speed

Burning before my feet hit the floor

Damn machine gunning

Kept me far out of sight feed

Pull the shades and lock all the

One, two, three door

[Verse 3]

I saw the coming coming

Into the void

And I was drunk

With the love of the fire

Was a knock-down, drag-out

Never fail me, boots

I was kicking like I never get

One, two, three, more

[Pre-Chorus]

Here we come now

Here we go

[Chorus]

Need you now

No mistakes

Stand up tall and give me

What it takes

Need you now

I'm not afraid

Stand up straight and kick me

If that's what it takes

[Bridge 1]

Little hot, a little cold

A little young is growing old

A little prick, a little bold

Never did what he was told

I'll tell ya why you're feeling bad

A little played, a little sad

A little more you never had

A little sane is going mad

[Bridge 2]

Seems you had enough of me

Enough or more eternity

I'll tell you what I'm going to be:

I'm going to be your misery

And when you feel you're going to break

Say your prayers, for goodness' sake

We're going to see what you can take

We're going to see now what it takes

[Bridge 3]

Count it as you did before

Count it out: Two-two, three, four

Count it when you're going to break

Count it out; it's what it takes

Count it when you're feeling bad

Count it when you're going mad

Count on me, for goodness' sakes

Count on it and what it takes

What it takes (What it takes)

What it takes (What it takes)

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 1 Reprise]

Train, train burning like an absolute

Drunk with the love of the fire

Brain, brain burning and a leather boot

Kicking like he never gets tired...

I saw the coming of the faster-than-light speed

Burning track, conventional fool

Wham, crack, bam, slap

Far-out-of-sight speed

Hammered like a kicking mule

[Pre-Chorus]

Here we come now

G-G-G-G-G-G-Go

[Chorus]

Need you now

No mistakes

Stand up tall and give me

What it takes

Need you now

I'm not afraid

Stand up straight and kick me

If that's what it takes

[Outro]

If that's what it takes

What it takes
