I see color bars when i come
Sargeant rock broke the key off in the lock
To where i come from
Sir, no sir.
We have no power in the air
The battle's on the ground
Laying low again,
High on the sound
Bruno s. is a man to me
You're just some dude with a stilted attitude
That you learned from tv
You'll undo
But i'll be connecting everything
The traffic in my town
Riding high again,
High on the sound
Everyone wants me to ride into the sun
But i ain't gonna go down
Laying low again,
High on the sound
