Break it on down
Bless you
Bless you
I wanna bless you
Bless you
Where are you going
My beautiful friend
Is this the road that
You take till the end
And if we left behind
Is this the highway
Of our mankind
Axes spins so round and round we go
Where we're goin' no one really knows
Here we here we here we here we go
Feel the fire
Way down below
Come on dim the lights
It's party time
Switch on the strobe
Do what you like
Gonna have a ball tonight
Let's have a ball
Down at the Globe
Come on dim the lights
Switch on the strobe
We're gonna have a ball tonight
Down at the Globe
Get up and clean your teeth and have a shave
It's 1 a. m. let's go out to a rave
One more and before we hit that grave
It's harder than a microwave wave
(Chorus)
Come on dim the lights
It's party time
Switch on the strobe
Do what you like
Gonna have a ball tonight
Let's have a ball
Down at the Globe
(Repeat Chorus)
Where's the party officer?
(Repeat Chorus)
Here we go party time break it all down
Where is the failure
Not in this land
But still you try to
Get what you can
You know that it's bad but
If you insist
Here's one more chance now
That you just missed
(Repeat Chorus)
I believe you
I believe you
(Repeat Chorus)
Waking up the global warning way
Nepal cornflakes for my special kay
What's the halth departement got to say
Don't smoke more than 50 fags a day
(Repeat Chorus)
Come on party on down
