Bilingual
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
If 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
ย
And the sweet disintegration
A few discolourations
When 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
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
I just need 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
And the streetlights are spinning
Oh, the night is just beginning
When it comes on strong
Comes on strong and I am lifted
I am lifted, I am lifted
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
Oh, oh, oh
I can't get down
Oh, no, no, no, no, I can't get down
ย
Oh, it comes on strong and I am lifted
It comes on strong and I am lifted
I am lifted, I am lifted
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
Oh, oh, oh, I can't get down
Oh, no, no, I can't get down
No, oh, oh, oh, I can't get down
