Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hey, pick it up
This'll get you out of your head
China's hangin' out by the railings of the motorshed
She goes with a real hit biker
He's a metalhead
She looks me up and down, talkin' dirty eyes
Sweet sayin', boy, baby, I could lick ya any time
Keep it up
[Verse 2]
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 wanna get too stoned
Then we're gonna see who's gonna take who home
[Verse 3]
The violence of summer, a love's takin' 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
[Verse 4]
One, two
This'll get you out of your mind
This'll pick you up, let's go, maybe take a ride
Goin' south where her mother writes
Before bad news catches up we still got a little time
We'll leave it all so far away
One thing is for sure, we shouldn't stay
I take it all, China gonna get the runaround, a run, a runaround
[Verse 5]
The violence of summer, a love's takin' over
It starts with desire, ends up under covers
China, na, China, na, na, na
China, na, China, na, na, na
China, na, China, na, na, na
China, na, China, na, na
[Verse 6]
The violence of summer, a love's takin' over
It starts with desire, ends up under cover
Mmm, love's takin' over
Yes love's takin' over
Love's takin' over
