You're it
No, you're it
Yeah, you're really it
You're it
No, I mean it, you're it
Say it, don't spray it
Spirit desire, face me
Spirit desire, don't displace me
Spirit desire, we will fall
Miss me, don't dismiss me
Spirit desire
Spirit desire, spirit desire
Spirit desire, we will fall
Spirit desire, we will fall
Spirit desire, spirit desire
Spirit desire, we will fall
Spirit desire, we will fall
Everybody's talking 'bout the stormy weather
And what's a man to do but work out whether it's true
Looking for a man with a focus and a temper
Who can open up a map and see between one and two
Time to get it before you let it get to you
Here he comes now
Stick to your guns and let him through
Everybody's coming from the winter vacation
Taking in the sun in a exaltation to you
You come running in on platform shoes
With Marshall stacks to at least just give us a clue
Ah, here it comes, I know it's someone I knew
Teenage riot in a public station
Gonna fight and tear it up in a hypernation for you
Now I see it
I think I'll leave it out of the way
Now I come near you
And it's not clear why you fade away
Looking for a ride to your secret location
Where the kids are setting up a free-speed nation for you
Got a foghorn and a drum and a hammer that's rocking
And a cord and a pedal and a lock, that'll do me for now
It better work out
I hope it works out my way
'Cause it's getting kind of quiet in my city head
Takes a teen age riot to get me out of bed right now
You better look it, we're gonna shake it up to him
He acts the hero, we paint a zero on his hand
We know it's down
We know it's bound too loose
Everybody's sound is around it
Everybody wants to be proud to choose
So who's to take the blame for the stormy weather
You're never gonna stop all the teenage leather and booze
It's time to go round
A one man showdown, teach us how to fail
We're off the streets now, and back on the road on the riot trail
No, you're it
Yeah, you're really it
You're it
No, I mean it, you're it
Say it, don't spray it
Spirit desire, face me
Spirit desire, don't displace me
Spirit desire, we will fall
Miss me, don't dismiss me
Spirit desire
Spirit desire, spirit desire
Spirit desire, we will fall
Spirit desire, we will fall
Spirit desire, spirit desire
Spirit desire, we will fall
Spirit desire, we will fall
Everybody's talking 'bout the stormy weather
And what's a man to do but work out whether it's true
Looking for a man with a focus and a temper
Who can open up a map and see between one and two
Time to get it before you let it get to you
Here he comes now
Stick to your guns and let him through
Everybody's coming from the winter vacation
Taking in the sun in a exaltation to you
You come running in on platform shoes
With Marshall stacks to at least just give us a clue
Ah, here it comes, I know it's someone I knew
Teenage riot in a public station
Gonna fight and tear it up in a hypernation for you
Now I see it
