Music’s calling me from all around
My feet so light, they barely touch the ground
It makes me happy just to hear that sound
My heart is thumping when I’m party bound
The drums are shaking, can you hear them pound?
The bass is slammin’ ‘cos it’s tightly wound
I’ve got some moves, you know they will astound
The crowd is tight, ‘cos my friends surround
The music makes me wanna move my feet
The rhythm’s bringing me a brand-new beat
The action’s taking me right outta my seat
My fever’s rising, can you feel the heat?
We’ll shake all night. But baby, I want more
So, let’s go dancin’ ‘cross the floor
Music’s calling me from everywhere
My finger’s snapping way up in the air
My toes are tapping as I shake my hair
My hands are clapping like I just don’t care
You and me, we make quite a pair
Like Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire
We’re steppin’ out now with such a flair
We rule the world, you know it just ain’t fair
The music makes me wanna move my feet
The rhythm’s bringing me a brand-new beat
The action’s taking me right outta my seat
My fever’s rising, can you feel the heat?
The stars are calling, and I’ll tell you why
So, let’s go dancin’ ‘cross the sky
Music’s calling me from way up high
It’s got the power, now, to make me fly
The moves I have are gonna make you cry
There’s no excuse for me to kiss this guy
He’s never gonna ever wanna say goodbye
But you know we’re prob’ly gonna miss this guy
The music makes me wanna move my feet
The rhythm’s bringing me a brand-new beat
The action’s taking me right outta my seat
My fever’s rising, can you feel the heat?
So, grab your hat, and I’ll grab my purse
We’ll go dancin’ ‘cross the Universe
Music’s calling me from way down low
I never wanna hear that It’s time to go
We can take it fast or we can take it slow
We can make it rain, we can make it snow
Give everybody such a show
We’ll leave them staring with their faces aglow
We’ll get them moving with some allegro
And we’ll bring it home with a final presto
The music makes me wanna move my feet
The rhythm’s bringing me a brand-new beat
The action’s taking me right outta my seat
My fever’s rising, can you feel the heat?
Could this be the start of a brand-new rage?
So, let’s go dancin’ ‘ cross the stage.

Down the Milky Way

You’re swiping right and posting notes that we should hang around
Acting like we’re just some kind of pair
But as soon as I swipe back, you have to shove me to the ground
You turn and walk away from me like you don’t even care
You’re calling me and telling me that you think this is right
Pretending like you’re so damn sweet and pure
But you stab me in the back the second you’re out of my sight
I think I’m starting to get sick now, and this doesn’t have a cure
I’m gonna grab you like the snake you are
And smash your head with my guitar
And toss you out, who knows how far
Until you’re past the highest star
It’s time for me to make you pay
There’s nothing left for me to say
I’ll kick you out like Pluto
And send you screaming down the Milky Way
You’re lying in the grass now and you’re sharpening your claws
Stalking me like you’re some kind of lion
But then you walk away from me without the slightest pause
I’m getting the impression it’s like you ain’t even tryin’
You’re sitting on your mountain top and lowering your horns
Charging me like you’re some kind of Ram
So I think you’re gonna smile at me, but all I see is scorn
And then you drop me like a rock because you couldn’t give a damn
I’m gonna grab you like the snake you are
And smash your head with my guitar
And toss you out, who knows how far
Until you’re past the highest star
It’s time for me to make you pay
There’s nothing left for me to say
I’ll kick you out like Pluto
And send you running down the Milky Way
You’re sneaking through the dark night with your eyes all glowing red
Your tails up just like you’re about to sting
And you won’t hesitate before you kick me out of bed
You’re cussin’ and you’re dissin’ me like it don’t mean a thing
You’ve got your pincers out now, and you’re ready to attack
Crawling up like you’re some kind of crab
But I know all your tricks, so I will never turn my back
Ripping out my heart until there’s nothing left to stab
I’m gonna grab you like the snake you are
And smash your head with my guitar
And toss you out, who knows how far
Until you’re past the highest star
It’s time for me to make you pay
There’s nothing left for me to say
I’ll kick you out like Pluto
And send you crawling down the Milky Way
You’re lying to my face now and pretending that we’re cool
But I’m not buying ‘cos that don’t carry water
I’m not sure how much more I’ll let you play me for a fool
It’s like I am your lamb now and you’re leading me to slaughter
You’re crouching down and taking aim with me in your crosshairs
It’s like you’re gonna shoot me with an arrow
But it can’t be any worse than if you kicked me down the stairs
When you laugh and fly away from me like you’re some kind of sparrow
I’m gonna grab you like the snake you are
And smash your head with my guitar
And toss you out, who knows how far
Until you’re past the highest star
It’s time for me to make you pay
There’s nothing left for me to say
I’ll kick you out like Pluto
And send you flying down the Milky Way
You’re stomping at the ground now like you’re gearing up to strike
Snorting round like you’re some kind of bull
Quit telling me the things you think that I am gonna like
Feeding me your crap until my brain has gotten full
You strut around and beat your chest to try to make me swoon
Braying like you’re some kind of a goat
I thought that you might be the one to put me on the moon
And now I’m sitting up a creek without a paddle or a boat
I’m gonna grab you like the snake you are
And smash your head with my guitar
And toss you out, who knows how far
Until you’re past the highest star
It’s time for me to make you pay
There’s nothing left for me to say
I’ll kick you out like Pluto
And send you charging down the Milky Way
You’re weighing me and measuring like I’m a piece of meat
Judging like you put me on a scale
I don’t know how much longer I can tolerate your heat
Leaving me to think that it is time for me to bail
You’re luring me into a net to toss me in a lake
Swimming round like you’re some kind of fish
I’m at the end of how much more abuse I’m gonna take
It’s like you want us to be done and now you’re gonna get your wish
I’m gonna grab you like the snake you are
And smash your head with my guitar
And toss you out, who knows how far
Until you’re past the highest star
It’s time for me to make you pay
There’s nothing left for me to say
I’ll kick you out like Pluto
And send you swimming down the Milky Way

Bring on the Sun

It’s an eclipse or is it night?
I know that something just ain’t right
Where’s my senses, where’s my sight?
This is giving me a fright
It’s too dark, nothing’s right
And it’s zero Fahrenheit
Where’s the switch, where’s the light?
Where’s my case of dynamite?
I can scratch, I can bite
I ain’t staying without a fight
It’s cold as hell and I can’t take it anymore
There’s a bunch of stiffs just a-lyin’ on the floor
These punks around me, getting to be a bore
This ain’t no fun
Bring on the Sun
It is freezing, it is cold
And it’s starting to get old
I can’t see, am I being trolled?
It’s like I’m wearing a blindfold
Where’s my senses? They’ve been sold
There is nothing to behold
What is happening in the fold?
Is it something to behold?
Get a grip, get ahold
‘Cos I’m starting to get bold
This frozen dump, you know it ain’t my kind of town
I say that like there ain’t no one else around
The thought of me staying here is dragging my ass down
It’s time to run
Bring on the Sun
Why the hell is it so dark?
Why can’t someone light a spark?
This ain’t no joke, it ain’t no lark
Why is everything so stark?
I need to make that power arc
You can be sure that I won’t narc
I’m gonna bite, I’m gonna bark
And I’ll be thrashing like a shark
I’m gonna need to make my mark
And this one’s going out of the park
This freezing pit, it ain’t never gonna last
There ain’t no way this party’s ever been a blast
Someone better be getting my ass out of here damn fast
You don’t want none
Bring on the Sun
There’s something going on right now that’s got me up a tree
It is cold and dark and stupid for as far as I can see
If these clowns around weren’t brain dead, then I think they would agree
That it is time for me to break some chains and let myself go free
I’m gonna rise up, throw down, shoot the moon,
Strike back, revolt, it’s coming soon
Get outta my way, you’re not immune
And that’s a guarantee
And you can be damn certain that the sun will come with me
There’s not a light up in the sky
And no one here can tell me why
“Where the hell’s the Sun?” I cry,
But I ain’t getting no reply
I know they want me to comply
I’m getting ready to defy
I got my fists, they’re gonna fly
Somebody’s getting a black eye
So, step right up, don’t be shy
And you can be the first to die
This icebox here, well, you know it ain’t my scene
I couldn’t give a damn if I come across as mean
I’m making me a break and it’s gonna be real clean
You know I’m done
Bring on the Sun

Heaven
05:33

Don't see no clouds
Don't see no wings
Don't see no halos
Or golden rings
All that's above is a sky so blue
But all I see is me being held by you
If this is Heaven
The there's no better place to be
If it ain't Heaven
Keep that secret away from me
Don't see no Angels
Up in the sky
Can't hear no harps
With tunes that make us cry
All that's above is the setting sun
But all I see is you and me as one
If this is Heaven
The there's no better place to go
If it ain't Heaven
Don't tell me 'cos I don't wanna know.
Don't see no castles
Don't see no gate
Don't see no land
Where they've forgotten hate
All that's above is a sky that's full of stars
But all I see is only what is ours
If this is Heaven
Then there's no better place for us
If it ain't Heaven
I'm still treating it as thus
Don't see no glow
Of souls across the sea
Don't see no paradise
Or eternity
All that's above is our moonlit night
But as for me, you're all that's in my sight
If this is Heaven
Then there is no better light
If it ain't Heaven
I'm holding on with all my might
Don't see no cherubs
Singing us their hymn
Don't see no throne
Or the Seraphim
All that's above is the morning's glow
But all I see is only what we know
If this is Heaven
Then let's let the Angels sing
If it ain't Heaven
Then we've found a better thing
Don't see no doves
No lion or no lamb
No tree of life
Or kids of Abraham
The endless sky is all that is above
But all I see is you and me in love
If this is Heaven
Then we've found our place so dear
If it ain't Heaven
I'm still keeping this right here
We have a place
That's just for you and me
If it ain't Heaven

Life on Mars?
04:36
|

It's a god-awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mummy is yelling, "No!"
And her daddy has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And she's hooked to the silver screen
But the film is a saddening bore
For she's lived it ten times or more
She could spit in the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man!
Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the Lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best-selling show
Is there life on Mars?
It's on America's tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
But the film is a saddening bore
'Cause I wrote it ten times or more
It's about to be writ again
As I ask you to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man!
Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the Lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?
