White Light
Goin' messing up my mind

Don't you know it's gonna make me go blind?
White Heat
Iit tickles me down to my toes
White Light
Have mercy White Light have it goodness knows
White Light
White Light
Goin' messing up my brain
White Light
Oh, White Light
It's gonna drive me insane
White Heat
White Heat it tickles me down to my toes
White Light
Oh, White Light I said now, goodness knows, do it
White Light
Oh, I surely do love to watch that stuff drip itself in
White Light
Watch that side, watch that side
Don't you know gonna be dead and dried
White Heat
Yeah foxy mama watchin' me walking down the street
White Light
Come upside your head, gonna make a dead hang on your street
White Light
Movin" me between my brain
White Light
Gonna make you insane
White Heat
Oh, White Heat it tickles me down to my toes
White Light
Oh, White Light, I said now, goodness knows
White Light
Oh, White Light it lightens up my eyes
White Light
Don't you know it fills me up with surprise
White Heat
Oh, White Heat tickle me down to my toes
White Light
Oh, White Light, I'll tell you now, goodness knows, now work it
White Light
Oh, she surely do move speed
Watch that speed freak, watch that speed freak,

Here she comes, here she comes
Everybody get it, gonna make me run
