2nd VERSE:
We been living together for a million years
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh
But now it feels so strange out in the atmospheres
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh
And then the jukebox plays a song I used to know
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh
And now Im staring at the bodies as theyre dancing so
slow
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh
