Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm sleepin' with a gold star stuck up on the wall
Must be workin' too hard
Now I'm dreamin' with my cell phone beamin' up the ceilin'
I've been up too long
[Chorus]
Gimme something to hold on to
(Just gimme something to hold on to)
Gimme something to hold on to
(Just gimme something to hold on to)
[Verse 2]
I'm feedin' like a big fish in a little pond
'Til the source is gone
Now I'm dreamin' of my cell phone ringing at the feelin'
I've been gone too long
[PreChorus]
(Catch a fish with the string of my guitar)
When I strum it, they call me "Big Baby Bogata"
(Fill a hole in the heart of the country)
Or keep it cool in the shade
[Chorus]
Gimme something to hold on to
(Just gimme something to hold on to)
Gimme something to hold on to
(Just gimme something to hold on to)
I'm hangin' from the ceilin', I'm climbin' up the walls
Just waitin' for the minute to call
Gimme something to hold on to
(Just gimme something to hold on to)
[Instrumental]
Uh, qué calor, ven conmigo al río
El pez más grande arranca porque despertó al más chico
Toma la guitarra, acércame a una estrella
Ya estoy cansada de que rompan las promesas
De Santiago, baby, hasta el mero Bogotá
Despiértate y levántate, Latinoamérica
Yo siento una revolución adentro y afuera
Despiértate, levántate, baby
[Chorus]
Gimme something to hold on to
(Just gimme something to hold on to)
Gimme something to hold on to
(Just gimme something to hold on to)
I'm hangin' from the ceilin', I'm climbin' up the walls
Just waitin' for the minute to call
Gimme something to hold on to
(Just gimme something to hold on to)
[Outro]
Ey, baby
Bogotá, vamo' acá
Esto va escalando a mi rey más tropical
La música nos lleva en algo más ambiental
No puede renunciar a tu libertad esencial
Ven, ven, vamo' acá
Ven, ven, baby, Bogotá
Esto se transforma en sobrenatural
La biología ignora a todo lo que es cultural
¿Estás lista para nuestro lío cultural?
