Written by: John Mellencamp and George Green

In a hand painted night, me and Gypsy Scotty are partners
At the Hotel Flamingo, wearin black market shoes
This loud Cuban band is crucifying John Lennon
No one wants to be lonely, no one wants to sing the blues

She's perched like a parrot on his tuxedo shoulder
Christ, what's she doing with him she could be dancing with me
She stirs the ice in her glass with her elegant finger
I want to be what she's drinking, yeah I just want to be

I saw you first
I'm the first one tonight
I saw you first
Don't that

Sometimes you walk
Sometimes you crawl
Other times you're flying
You feel the thrill not knowing where you'll land

(chorus 1)
Give me give me that rush
i need wings and i need healing
in my veins and in my blood
give me give me that rush

Sometimes its gold
Sometimes its brass
Sometimes you're fire
The feel the mount of venus in your hand

(chorus 2)
Give me give me that rush
i need wings and i need healing
don't need drugs i don't need dreaming
Give me give me that rush

If it never comes is the damage done
Nothing that i can't belive in
its just another face of don't i know your face
its just the joy of receiving

(chorus 1)
(chorus 2)
Give me that rush
Give me that rush
