Lyrics

White Sky (Basement Jaxx Remix)

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

An ancient business, a modern piece of glasswork

Down on the corner that you walk each day in passing

The elderly sales clerk won't eye us with suspicion

The whole, immortal corporation’s given its permission

[Verse 2]

A little stairway, a little piece of carpet

A pair of mirrors that are facing one another

Out in both directions, a thousand little Julias

That come together in the middle of Manhattan

[Pre-Chorus]

You waited since lunch

It all comes at once

[Chorus]

Ah-ooh-ooh-ooh, ah-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ah-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ah-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Bridge]

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[Chorus]

Ah-ooh-ooh-ooh, ah-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ah-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ah-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Outro]
