Whiplash (Live at the Keystone, Palo Alto, CA – Oct. 31st, 1983) Lyrics

This goes out to Sam Kress and Brian Lew
You crazy fucks, you

Late at night all systems go, you've come to see the show
We do our best, you're the rest, you make it real, you know
There's a feeling deep inside, that drives you fuckin' mad
A feeling of a hammerhead, you need it, oh, so bad

Adrenaline starts to flow
You're thrashing all around
Acting like a maniac
Whiplash

Bang your head against the stage like you never did before
Make it ring, make it bleed, make it really sore
In a frenzied madness, with your leathers and your spikes
Heads are bobbing all around, it's hot as hell tonight

Adrenaline starts to flow
You're thrashing all around
Acting like a maniac
Whiplash

Here on stage the Marshall noise is piercing through your ears
It kicks your ass, kicks your face, exploding feeling nears
Now's the time to let it rip, to let it fuckin' loose
We're gathered here to maim and kill, this is what we choose

Adrenaline starts to flow
You're thrashing all around
Acting like a maniac

Here we go

Whiplash

Metal's gone, it's time to hit the road
Another town, another gig, again we will explode
Hotel rooms and motorways, life out here is raw
We'll never stop, we'll never quit 'cause you're Metallica

Adrenaline starts to flow
Thrashing all around
Acting like a maniac

Thank you, good night
Thank you
Yeah, fuckin' who

Well, we gotta get Metallica back out here, or what?
