Pointer Sisters Neutron Dance Lyrics:
[Lenthy "techno" intro.]
(Woo-hoo.)
(Woo-hoo.)
I don't wanna take it anymore.
I'll just stay here locked behind the door.
Just no time to stop and get away,
'Cause I work so hard to make it everyday.
(Woo-hoo.)
(Woo-hoo.)
There's no money fallin' from the sky,
'Cause a man took my heart and robbed me blind.
Someone stole my brand new Chevrolet,
And the rent is due, I got no place to stay.
(Woo-hoo.) (Oooooo-oo-oo-oo.)
(Woo-hoo.) (Ooo-oo-oo.)
And it's hard to say,
Just how some things never change.
And it's hard to find,
Any strength to draw the line.
Oh, I'm just burnin' doin' the neutron dance.
I-I-I'm just burnin' doin' the neutron dance.
Industry don't pay a price that's fair.
All the common people breathin' filthy air.
(Lord have mercy.)
Roof caved in on all the simple dreams.
And to get ahead your heart starts pumpin' schemes.
An-and it's hard to say,
Just how some things never change.
An-and it's hard to find,
Any strength to draw the line.
(Wo-oh.)
Oh-oh, I'm just burnin' doin' the neutron dance.
I-I-I'm just burnin' doin' the neutron dance.
(Woo-hoo.)
[Instrumental break featuring drums.]
(Woo-hoo.)
(I'm on fire, yeah.)
(Well, I'm on fire, yeah-eh.)
An-and it's hard to say,
Just how some things never change.
An-and it's hard to find,
Any strength to draw the line.
Oh-oh, I'm just burnin' doin' the neutron dance.
I-I-I'm just burnin' doin' the neutron dance.
[ Find more Lyrics on www.mp3lyrics.org/uFM4 ]I know there's a pot of gold for me.
All I got to do is just believe.
Oh, I'm so happy doin' the neutron dance.
And I'm just burnin' doin' the neutron dance.
I'm so happy (it's in my hands),
Doin' the neutron dance, (yeah).
I'm just burnin' (it's in my feet),
Doin' the neutron dance.
(Well, well, well, well.)
(Woo-hoo.)
[Short instrumental break.]
(Woo-hoo.)
(Woo-hoo.)
I'm so happy (it's in my hands),
Doin' the neutron dance, (yeah).
I'm just burnin' (it's in my feet),
Doin' the neutron dance.
(Well, well, well, well.)
(Woo-hoo.)
(It's all over me.)
(Woo-hoo.)
(Yes, I am.)
Oh, I'm so happy doin' the neutron dance.
(All over me.)
I'm just burnin' doin' the neutron dance.
(Yeah, yeah.)
(Woo-hoo.)
Woo-hoo-oo.
(Woo-hoo.)
Woo-hoo-oo.
I'm so happy (it's in my hands).
I'm just burnin' (it's in my feet).
I'm so happy (it's all over me).
I'm just burnin' (I can't help myself).
I'm so happy (yeah, yeah).
I'm just burnin' (oh, yeah).
I'm so happy (oh, yeah).
I'm just burnin' (I'm just burnin').
[Fade.]
I'm so happy (oh, yeah).
I'm just burnin' (oh, yeah).
I'm so happy (it's in my hands).
I'm just burnin' (it's in my feet).
I'm so happy...
