White light; white light going messin' up my mind,
White light; and don't you know, gonna make me go blind.
White heat; oh, white heat, it tickle me down to my toes,
White light; oh, have mercy, white light have it, goodness knows.
White light; white light going messin' up my brain,
White light; oh, white light it's gonna drive me insane.
White heat; oh, white heat, it tickle me down to my toes,
White light; oh, white light, I said now, goodness knows.
Do it.
Oh, oh, white light,
Oh, I surely do love watch that stuff shooting itself in.
Oh, oh, white light,
Watch that side, watch that side.
Don't you know, gonna be dead and bright?
Oh, oh, white heat,
Yeah, foxy mama, watch her walking down the street.
Oh, oh, white light,
Come upside, your head gonna make a dead end on your street.
White light; white light movin' me drain my brain,
White light; white light gonna make me really go insane.
White heat; oh, white heat, it tickle me down to my toes,
White light; oh, white light, I said now, goodness knows.
White light; oh, white light, it's lightin' 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 tell you now, goodness knows.
Work at it.
Oh, oh, white light; oh, she surely do move speed,
Oh, oh, white light; watch that speed freak, watch that speed freak,
Everybody gonna make it every week.
Oh, oh, white heat; oh, sputter mutter, everybody gonna kill their mother,
Oh, oh, white light; here she comes, here she comes,
Everybody get it, make me run.
Do it.
Higher.
