  • Yeah, alright

    Electrified harmonious
    I think I'll take it out to the streets
    Will somebody please help me?
    Call the doctor but don't call the police
    Yeah, cool

    Are you into the beat?
    Are you into the beat?
    I can feel it in my teeth

    I can feel it in my teeth
    I can feel it in my teeth
    And it's driving me mad
    I can feel it in my teeth, ooh
    I can feel it in my teeth
    And it's driving me crazy
    It's driving me crazy
    It's driving me mad

    I wish I were an astronaut
    Space-case making the scene, yeah
    Put me in a hospital
    Lock me up and throw out the key

    Hey, hey, hey, hey
    Are you into the beat?
    I'm the king of the beat
    I can feel it in my teeth

    I can feel it in my teeth
    I can feel it in my teeth
    And it's driving me mad
    I can feel it in my teeth, ooh
    I can feel it in my teeth
    And it's driving me crazy
    It's driving me crazy

    Now, shut up and dance

    I can feel it in my teeth
    I can feel it in my teeth
    And it's driving me mad
    I can feel it in my teeth, ooh
    I can feel it in my teeth
    And it's driving me crazy
    It's driving me crazy
    It's driving me mad

    Yeah, yeah

    We live in an environment whose entire population of critics and no painters to be found
    Where have all the storytellers gone?
    Just when did I become so eaten up by moss and covered in a cloak of popularity?
    And then I lose my voice in between the echoes of self-serving prophecy
    A captain without his ship
    A chief, a chief without a tribe
    A raging megalomaniac who only speaks to hear his cheeks slap together
    And worship the sound of his own voice
    A muffled cry, a muffled cry, a muffled cry, a muffled cry
    Power concaved inside the word
    To configure through the mythical power of the trees
    The graphics being paper thin
    Paper thin garments and garments and garments and garments and garments
    And garments and garments and garments
    Pray for summer days
    The rain and wind is so strong outside my window
    And winter's always searching for another
    I hear, I hear his cheeks slap together and worship his own voice
    Louder? Okay, alright
    I'm so tired of the demands of this world, her nagging voice
    The song she sings, the songs that she desires
    She cries out in the heat of her passions
    Her legs spread and ready for, ready for a stranger
    The captain without his ship
    A chief with, a chief without a tribe
    A raging megalomaniac who only speaks to hear his cheeks slap together
    And worship the sound of his own voice
    I dare not take another drink until it's gone
    Just when did I become so eaten up by moss and covered in a cloak of popularity?
    When I lose my voice in between the echoes of self-serving prophecy Writer/s: Daniel Andrew Tichenor, Donald Bradley Shultz, Jared Lloyd Champion, Lincoln Parish, Matthew Ray Shultz
