I am the fountain of affection
|
I'm the instrument of joy
|
And to keep the good times rolling
|
I'm the boy, I'm the boy,
|
You know the world could be our oyster,
|
You just put your trust in me,
|
Cause we'll keep the good times rolling
|
Wait and see, wait and see....oh wait and see!
|
|
His exhaltation, a sweet disintegration.
|
A few discolorations, then it comes along
|
up is why he chooses, the kisses and the bruises
|
There ain't nothing he refuses, then it comes along
|
It comes along, and I am lifted, I am lifted, I am lifted!
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
|
When I'm up I can't get down
|
Can't get down, can't get level
|
When I'm up I can't get down
|
Get my feet back on the ground
|
When I'm up I can't get down
|
Can't get down, can't get level
|
When I'm up I can't get down
|
Get my feet back on the ground
|
|
He just needs, something to blind him
|
Something to wind him up
|
It won't take long to find him
|
When it comes on strong.
|
|
Wise guys are grinning, street lights are spinning
|
The night is just beginning, and then it comes on strong
|
It comes on strong, and I am lifted, I am lifted, I am lifted!
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Oh it comes on strong, and I am lifted.
|
It comes on strong, and I am lifted.
|
I am lifted, I am lifted!
|
|
Chorus
