There's a fear in the air
And there's blood on the floor
Hear a deafening scream
Crying out for more
The city's on fire
Smoke is burning my eyes

I got one more chance in here
To come along and just hum along

And now dance
(Come on y'all)
Down down down gotta get down
Down down down

This might be our last night
The wolf's at the door
My stomach is growlin'
We all know the score
My legs are getting weary
My heart is so low

I got one more chance in here
To come along and just hum along
And now dance

(Come on y'all!) down down down
Gotta get down

Gotta get down (to get up)
Gotta get down (to get up)
Gotta get down (to get up)
Gotta get down down down
Gotta get down (to get up)
Gotta get down (to get up)
Gotta get down (to get up)
Gotta get down down down down
Gotta get down (to get up)
Gotta get down (to get up)
Gotta get down (to get up)
I'll need you to come along and just hum along
And now dance (you better hold on, when you're staying alive, you're staying together)
Hey, hey, it's go, go, go
Gotta make a fire, when you're home alone (down down down down)

Gotta get down (to get up) (got to get on it)
Gotta get down (to get up) (got to get on it)
Gotta get down (to get up) (got to get on it)
Gotta get down (to get up) (got to get on it)

Down down down
Gotta get down (to get up)
Gotta get down (to get up)
Gotta get down (to get up)
Gotta get down down down down
Now dance
Get on down
