[Verse 1]
Your access
Undeniable, unattainable is what you are
In a word indestructible
You're a cannonball, you're a star

[Chorus 1]
Getting wild, getting free
Getting touched, can't you see?
Getting first guarantee
Get your hands off of me

[Chorus 2]
Hallucinate, it's in your head
Hallucinate in every word you say
Hallucination, hallucinate
It's more than you can take

[Verse 2]
It's the way you react, it's the way you feel
In your Cadillac, in your car
Because you choose to wear anything you dare
Like a superstar is what you are
Let it loose, let it go
Be the last to know
Get it back, get on track
Be the first to cry

[Chorus 2]

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2][x2]

[Outro]
Hallucinate, hallucination [x4]

In 1977, Rick Savage, Tony Kenning, and Pete Willis were students at a secondary school in Sheffield, England. They had a band called Atomic Mass. Lead singer Joe Elliott joined later that year, and suggested a new band name. Within 10 years, that name, Def Leppard, became one of the most recognised in English rock music. To date, they have released more than 40 singles.

Def Leppard was a definitive part of the new wave of British heavy metal bands in the late 1970s. Their first three albums had tremendous momentum, each outselling the one before. Then, after the release of Pyromania in 1983, drummer Rick Allen lost his arm in a car accident. The band stuck by him through his recovery and retraining.

When Def Leppard came back, they came back hard. Their fourth album, 1987’s Hysteria, was a hard rock masterpiece that took the world by storm. By then the music video had matured as a film style, and Hysteria’s singles and videos had enough pop, sex, colour, and glam to put it over the top. Hysteria was one of the biggest-selling albums of the 1980s.
