Hey, pick it up!
This will get you out of your head!
China's hanging up
By the railings of the motor shed
She goes with a real hit biker
He's a metal head
She looks me up and down
Talkin' dirty eyes
Sweet saying
Boy, baby, I could lick you any time
Keep it up
That's right
Here we go again!
Bit later I'm gonna run
Into her round the back
While other guys break heads
In the Shuger Shack
Don't give me drink
I don't wanna get too stoned
Then we're gonna see
Who's gonna take who home
The violence of summer
And love's taking over
It starts with desire
Ends up under cover
Those lips will make me right
You may look down but don't think twice
So death is on the way
So what, man? I still want to play
One, two!
This will get you out of your mind!
This will pick you up, let's go!
We'll take a ride
Going south where her mother writes
For bad news catches up
We still got a little time
We'll leave it all so far away
One thing is sure, we shouldn't stay
I take it all, China gonna get the runaround
A run, a runaround
The violence of summer
And love's taking over
It starts with desire
Ends up under cover
China-na, China-na-na-na, China-na, China-na-na
China-na, China-na-na-na, China-na, China-na-na
The violence of summer
And love's taking over
It starts with desire
Ends up under cover
Mmh, love's taking over
Yes, love's taking over
Love's taking over
