[Verse 1]

Everybody’s writing songs with synthesizers

But I don’t have a synthesizer

I can still get down like

Duran Duran in 1985

I didn’t name my band after an animal

I don’t have any feathers or neon clothes

But I can stay out all night

Like Sacajawea in a paint fight


[Hook]

For once, once in your life

Won’t you do what feels right

Instead of waiting for the next big compromise

Stop running your mouth

Get out of the house

Get yourself downtown

And shake it all out tonight


[Verse 2]

I don’t have any friends at Pitchfork or Enemy

No sexy heroin addiction plaguing me

But I can still get down like

Frank Poncherello on a motor bike (That’s right)


[Hook]

For once, once in your life

Won’t you do what feels right

Instead of waiting for the next big compromise

Stop running your mouth

Get out of the house

Get yourself downtown

And shake it all out tonight

For once, once in your life

Won’t you do what feels right

Instead of waiting for the next big compromise

Stop running your mouth

Get out of the house

Get yourself downtown

And shake it all out tonight


[Outro]

Hit me once and it wasn't enough

Hey I want the stronger stuff

Hit me once and it wasn't enough

Hey I want the stronger stuff

Hit me once and it wasn't enough

Hey I want the stronger stuff

Hit me once and it wasn't enough

Hey I want the stronger stuff
