Lyrics

Hey, pick it up
This'll get you out of your head
China's heading up
By the ratings on a motion
She goes with a real head biker
He's a metalhead
She looks me up and down
Talkin' dirty eyes
Sweet sayin' boy
Baby, I can lick you any time
Keep it up
That's right
Here we go again
Bit later I'm gonna run
Into her 'round the back
While other guys break heads
In the Sugar Shack
Don't give me drink
I don't want to get too stoned
Then we're going to see
Who's gonna take who home
The violence of summer
And love's taking over
It starts with desire
Ends up under cover
Those lips will make me rise
You may look down but don't think twice
Slow death is on the way
So what man I still want to play
One, two
This'll get you out of your mind
This'll get you up
Let's go
We'll take a ride
Going south where her mother writes
Before bad news catches up
We still got a little time
We made it all so far away
One thing is sure, we shouldn't stay
I'll take it all
China gonna get the run around, a run, a run around
The violence of summer
And love's taking over
It starts with desire
Ends up under cover
China-na, China-na-na-na
China-na, China-na-na-na
China-na, China-na-na-na
China-na, China-na
The violence of summer
And love's taking over
