I am the fountain of affection
the instrument of joy to keep the good time rolling I'm the boy, I'm the boy I say the world will be our oyster you can put your trust in me we'll keep the good times rolling
wait and see, wait and see wait and see exaltation sweet disintegration a few discolourations when it comes on strong up is what he chooses the kisses and the bruises there's nothing he refuses when it comes along it comes along and I am lifted I am lifted
I am lifted when I'm up I can't get down
can't get down
can't get level when I'm up I can't get down
get my feet back on the ground when I'm up I can't get down
can't get down
can't get level when I'm up I can't get down
get my feet back on the ground
something to blind him something to wind him up won't take long to find him and it comes along wise guys are grinning streetlights are spinning the night is just beginning and it comes on strong
comes on strong and I am lifted
I am lifted
I am lifted
when I'm up I can't get down
can't get down
can't get level when I'm up I can't get down
get my feet back on the ground when I'm up I can't get down
can't get down
can't get level when I'm up I can't get down
get my feet back on the ground
