Lyrics
[Intro]
Bang, bang
[Verse 1]
Could a body close the mind down?
Stitch a seam across the eye?
If you can be good, you'll live forever
If you're bad, you'll die when you die
Hearing only one true note
On the one and only sound
Unzip my body, take my heart out
'Cause I need a beat to give this tune
[Refrain]
Taking a picture
Taking a picture
Taking a picture
Bang, bang
[Verse 2]
Oh, the body swayed to music
Oh, the lightning glance
I would give it all and all
Maybe you would hear me ask for half a chance
Hearing only one root note
Planted firmly in the ground
Undo my heart, unzip my body, and
Lend to my ear a clear and a deafening sound
Unzip my heart
[Refrain]
And if I need a rhythm
It'll be to my heart, I listen
If it don't put me too far wrong
And if I, and if I, and if I need a rhythm
It's gonna be to my heart, I listen
If it don't put me too far wrong
[Verse 3]
Everybody smile, please
Nobody pay no mind to me
Finger in position on the switch
A little flash photography
[Refrain]
Taking a picture of you to my heart
Taking a picture of
Taking a picture of me
Taking a picture
[Chorus]
Ramalama, bang, bang, flash bang, Big Bang
Bing, bong, ding, dong, dum, dum, do, dum
With a hammer, bang, bang, flash bang, press gang
Bing, bong, ding, dong, hum, hum, hu-hum
With a st-stammer, bang, bang, crash, bang, Big Bang
Boing, boing, boing, boing, dum, dum, d-dum, dum
With a st-stammer, bang, bang, with a st-stammer, bang, bang
Crash, bang, Big Bang, bing, bang, crash, bang
Keep on, keep on
Keep on, keep on
[Refrain]
And if I, and if I need a rhythm
Gonna be to my heart, I listen
And if I, and if I need a rhythm
It's gonna be to my heart, I listen
And if I, and if I need a rhythm
It's gonna be to my heart, I listen
Need a rhythm, need a rhythm
It's gonna be to my heart, I listen
Need a rhythm, need a rhythm
Need a rhythm, need a rhythm
And if I, and if I need a rhythm
[Outro]
Keep on, keep on
Keep on, keep on
Keep on, keep on
