Lyrics
[Verse 1] Flying saucers, levitation Yo, I could do that Gettin' ready for heavy duty Go on, give it a chance Give it a chance, give it a chance I saw your hair start to curl So get up, write it down You better wait for a while [Chorus] So take your hands out of your pockets, and get your face adjusted I heard it, somebody lied And I'm staring out the window, gonna let this thing continue In its natural time Round heads, square heads Get settled in You can hear my belly rumble There's a voice that starts to mumble Woo! It's starting to sing [Verse 2] Protons, neutrons I ate a rock from the moon Got shocked once, shocked twice Let's see what it can do A man in the moon, a moon in the man I got a rock in my throat Upside, upside down My tummy start to talk (What it say?) [Chorus] Gonna rock it 'til I shock it, gonna kick it 'til I drop it Woo! love at first sight You can kick it, you can poke it, woo! I think you broke it Ooh, what about that? Skin from a snake, blood from a stone You know, that ain't no lie I got hundreds of expressions, try to make a good impression Woo! Right between the eye [Bridge] I don't mind, let me go Right on time, I don't know Let me be, why not stay? I feel numb, let me play [Verse 3] I got wild imagination, talkin' transubstantiation Any version will do I got mass communication, I'm the human corporation I ate a rock from the moon Moon in the rock, rock in the moon There's a moon in my throat You might think I'm wasting time, you might laugh, but not for long Hey! I'm working it out (Work it out) [Outro] I don't mind, let me go Sounds inside, I don't know Let me be, why not stay? I feel numb, let me play
