I went to the city to find a new home left the wife and the kid on their own
i was looking for a spotlight and a front stage microphone
i went to a party and the band was playing alright
took a chance to dance
they were keeping it tight*
this party's got to woo...
like every party do
'cos when it's over you'll be waiting for another one
so dance or just talk to the person next to you...
just a few words might do
this party's got to move
get on up and groove
put you finger on the groove
and then slowly start to move
dance or just talk to the person next to you
just a few words might do
i've got my spoon cookin' brown baggin' skunk smokin' rock choppin' ket sniffin' coke cuttin' base poppin' e
i've got my spoon cookin' brown baggin' skunk smokin' rock
tequila slammin' pot rollin' inner city junkies
we're like inner city junkies
dance or just talk to the person next to you
just a few words might do
[*additional lyrics from Dislocated album:
...i jumped up on the stage had to make it known
i left the dancefloor and found a new home
i began to command the band and the show
this party's got to woo
like every party do
you think it's over but we really have another one
we got a new record and a new pair of jeans
gold platinum we'll be ripping at the seams
from note to note we'll be keeping it tight
we've been in cities all around the world
blond brunettes and redheads too...]
