[length: 03:49]
[00:07.66]We’re all going on a summer holiday
[00:11.52]Vigilante’s coming out to follow me
[00:15.17]Heard somebody said they’re out to collar me
[00:18.92]Anybody wanna swallow me?
[00:23.02]
[00:28.76]Takes two to tumble, it takes two to tango
[00:32.41]Speak up, don’t mumble if you’re in the combo
[00:37.08]On the beat (on the beat)
[00:39.13]On the beat (on the beat)
[00:40.96]’Til a man comes along, and he says
[00:43.06]”Have you been a good boy, never played with your toy?
[00:46.61]Though you never enjoy, such a pleasure to employ”
[00:53.39]See your friends, in the state they’re in
[00:56.73]See your friends, getting under their skin
[01:00.32]See your friends, getting taken in
[01:03.89]
[01:12.17]Well, if you only knew the things you do to me
[01:16.22]I’d do anything to confuse the enemy
[01:19.63]There’s only one thing wrong with you, befriending me
[01:23.34]Take it easy, I think you’re bending me
[01:29.52]
[01:34.03]I’ve been a bad boy with the standard leader
[01:37.49]My neighbor’s revving up his vaux hall viva
[01:42.29]On the beat (on the beat)
[01:44.09]On the earth beat (on the beat)
[01:45.76]’Til a man comes along, and he says
[01:47.86]”Have you been a good boy, never played with your toy?
[01:51.63]Though you never enjoy, such a pleasure to employ”
[01:58.04]See your friends, walking down the street
[02:01.84]See your friends, never quite complete
[02:05.12]See your friends, getting under their feet
[02:09.04]
[02:23.67]Oh, I don’t want to disease you
[02:27.38]But I’m no good with machinery
[02:30.81]Oh, I don’t wanna freeze you
[02:34.54]Stop looking at the scenery
[02:38.10]I keep thinkin’ about your mother
[02:41.77]Oh, I don’t wanna lick them
[02:45.26]I don’t wanna be a lover
[02:48.87]I just wanna be your victim
[02:52.67]I don’t go out much at night
[02:55.73]I don’t go out much at all
[02:59.50]Did you think you were the only one
[03:03.23]Who was waiting for a call?
[03:06.60]On the beat (on the beat)
[03:08.62]On the beat (on the beat)
[03:10.43]On the earth beat (on the beat)
[03:12.24]’Til a man comes along, and he says
[03:14.24]”Have you been a good boy, never played with your toy?
[03:17.91]Though you never enjoy, such a pleasure to employ”
[03:23.56]See your friends, treat me like a stranger
[03:28.08]See your friends, despite all the arrangements
[03:31.36]See your friends, nothing here has changed
[03:35.29]Just the beat (just the beat)
[03:37.37]Just the beat (just the beat)
[03:38.96]Just the beat (just the beat)
[03:40.89]Just the heat
