Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Break it on down
Bless you, bless you
Oh, bless you, bless you
[Verse 2]
Where are you going, my beautiful friend?
Is this the road that we take till the end?
And if we break down, are we left behind?
Is this the highway of all mankind?
[Verse 3]
Axis spins so round and round we go
Where we're goin' no one really knows
Here we, here we, here we, here we go
Feel the fire way down below
[Verse 4]
Come on and dim the lights (It's party time)
Switch on the strobe (Do what you like)
Gonna have a ball tonight (Let's have a ball)
Down at The Globe
Come on and dim the lights (Time to look at the rain)
Switch on the strobe (Here we, here we, here we go again)
Gonna have a ball tonight (Lock it right, yo, bring the pain)
Down at the globe (All I see is acid rain)
[Verse 5]
Get up and clean your teeth and have a shave
It's one AM, let's go out to a rave
One more in before we hit that grave
It's hotter than a microwave, wave
[Verse 6]
Come on and dim the lights (It's party time)
Switch on the strobe (Do what you like)
We're gonna have a ball tonight (Let's have a ball)
Down at The Globe (Lift it on up, lift it on up)
Come on and dim the lights (It's party time)
Switch on the strobe (Do what you like)
We're gonna have a ball tonight (Let's have a ball)
Down at The Globe
[Verse 7]
Well, I am the Bishop of Brixton
On me way to the garden party in the palace
Where's the party, officer?
[Verse 8]
Come on and dim the lights (It's party time)
Switch on the strobe (Do what you like)
We're gonna have a ball tonight (Let's have a ball)
Down at The Globe (Here we go one time, break it on down)
[Verse 9]
Where is the fair, dear? Not in this land
But still, you try to get what you can
You know that it's bad, but if you insist
Here's one more chance, now, that you just missed
[Verse 10]
Come on and dim the lights (It's party time)
Switch on the strobe (Do what you like)
We're gonna have a ball tonight (Let's have a ball)
Down at The Globe (I believe you, I believe you)
Come on and dim the lights (It's party time)
Switch on the strobe (Do what you like)
We're gonna have a ball tonight (Let's have a ball)
Down at The Globe
[Verse 11]
Waking up the global warming way
Napalm cornflakes for my Special K
What's the health department got to say?
Don't smoke more than fifty fags a day
[Verse 12]
So have you ever asked yourself
[Verse 13]
Come on and dim the lights (It's party time)
Switch on the strobe (Do what you like)
We're gonna have a ball tonight (Let's have a ball)
Down at The Globe (Come on, party on down)
Come on and dim the lights (Let's have a ball)
Switch on the strobe (Let's have a ball)
We're gonna have a ball tonight (Let's have a ball)
Down at the Globe (Come on)
