What can I do, I can't take up and down like this no more, babe
I need to find out where I am before I reach the stars
Yeah, before I step on Mars
I have been spinning and I'm blue
Thinking 'bout my life and how to change it
Crazy thoughts I like to leave behind
Oh yes, it's gonna blow my mind
Deadly days and killer nights
It's hard to keep things tight
I don't have a love affair
On all these lonely flights
Promises of liquid gold
Mend my heart but not my soul, yeah
You know it won't be long
So shake it on
You know it won't be long
So shake it on
You know it won't be long
So shake it on
I'm in love
I'm in love
I'm in love, and now I'm moving on
Gonna be a freak tonight
It's a solid state affair
I can feel it everywhere
Music still infecting me
Music still protecting me, yeah
Funky super starlight freaks
A source of further light
If we're gonna do this thing
Let's do it and do it right
I know we can reach the stars
I know we can reach the high chair
Oh yeah, I'm gonna shake it on
You know it won't be long
So shake it on
You know it won't be long
So shake it on
Gonna be a freak tonight
You know it won't be long
So shake it on
I'm in love
I'm in love
I'm in love, and now I'm moving on
Gonna be a freak tonight
Gonna be a freak tonight
Gonna be a freak tonight
What can I do?
I can't take up and down like this no more, babe
Gonna be a freak tonight
What can I do?
People scream but I can't hear
I don't care too much
Crocodile and toxic tears
Can't kick this sense of touch
Life has lost it's eloquence
But I can't sit it on the fence
Feel like being treacherous
With the music still infecting us
Gonna be a freak tonight
Gonna be a freak tonight
You know it won't be long
So shake it on
Gonna be a freak tonight
You know it won't be long
So shake it on
Gonna be a freak tonight
Gonna be a freak tonight
Gonna be a freak tonight
