Lyrics
Red Hot Indians
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's the DNA song, DNA song, it's the DNA song,
Strike mess, hole mess, shadow mess.
I think I know what you think,
You think you know what I think,
I think I know what I think,
You think you know what I think,
I think, I do think that you know what I know 'bout you think,
But I think that I know you, but I'm in.
Something happened like it happens everyday,
There's something happening like it happens everyday,
Woke up freezing,
Ceiling bending,
Got up shaking,
Heating mending.
Then you took me back, steam machine,
Dreamt my way into a daydream,
Let me vanish into yesterday
And my night drops fade away.
Shaking, shake twice, breaking skin,
Bomb beauty, steamy scene,
Roaming, phasing, but I'm smiling,
Krishna dancing.
A piece of the action, a cut off the take,
A part of the profit,
Just a piece of the action, a cut off the take,
A part of the profit.
Strike mess, hole mess, shadow mess
And you're shocked to me,
Liquid centre, liquid centre,
Shadow mess,
Strike mess, hole mess, shadow mess,
Liquid centre, liquid centre.
Strike mess, hole mess, shadow mess,
Strike mess, hole mess, shadow mess,
Strike mess, hole mess, shadow mess,
Strike mess, hole mess, shadow mess.
