been down yeah! well i look down and my mind blows away - deep in the darkness "illuminate" beyond a million miles - something slid up to my head circling around my eye - eye - eyes and i said, "smooth operator" sez: get up - get up - and outta here, smooth operator sez: yeah! lights - band the traffic thunder two blocks west of the rest - tore away the bottom and saw life is a test - beyond 1,000,000 miles - well i ricocheted through my head - one hand kill the other's cra-a-crazy - what she said - smooth operator sez: get up! get up! and outta here, smooth operator sez: yeah!!! sail into night- ghost ship a tripping - struck by the plunge something to see - yeah - bootleg the girl - she is a looka - pure is the fear that breaks away - straight to the sun i am a walk'n state of the art - all that i see (yeah) new gods move whipp'n the shore and dash on the reef - surf city... i walk alone and stare, man, right in the sun - tear-jerk asylum and cemetery run - well, how'd i ever get this far man? smooth curves switchback the sweat - underneath the body, baby - where what you see is what you - see and what you get |
