Start me up, Start me up. Tommy used to work on the docks. Union's been on strike, he's down on his luck. It's tough, so tough. We've got to hold on, ready or not. You live for the fight when it's all that you've got. Start me up! We're half way there Livin' on a prayer. Start me up! We'll make it - I swear. Livin' on a prayer. If you start it up, kick on the starter give it all You got, you got, you got. I can't compete with the riders in the other heat. Yeah, don't make a grown man cry. I made a grown man give it a shot. Start me up! We're half way there Livin' on a prayer. Start me up! We'll make it - I swear. Livin' on a prayer. Livin' on a prayer. We've got to hold on, ready or not. You live for the fight when it's all that you've got. We're half way there Livin' on a prayer. Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear. Livin' on a prayer. Start me up I never stop. Livin' on a prayer. Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear. Livin' on a prayer. We're half way there Livin' on a prayer. Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear. Livin' on a prayer. Livin' on a prayer you got to start me up!
