[Verse 1]

And so it begins, a countdown can you think of a reason why you so love it downtown?

I met you in the middle of this scandalous town

It's a miracle you're walking around

Countdown in a dark town, and so it begins

It started with a minute of your favorite sound

A sexy little secret of a radio song

I wish it wasn't floating around

Countdown to a tight sound, and so it begins

Can you think of a reason that it's your favorite town?

It caught you with your finger on a video, girl

America is watching you now (Whoa oh!)

Countdown to a night gown

[Chorus]

Hey now, wake up

It's a beautiful day

Hey now, look up

You're always turning away (aahh)

Are you falling asleep?

Hey now, wake up

Are you looking away?

Hey now, look up

Are you watching?

It's a brand new day and you shouldn't be fading away (aahh)

And so it begins

[Verse 2]

It's the time of the season that you're a man around town

Imagination taking you where no one else can

Floating on sins that surround (Whoa oh!)

Countdown to a dark brown

[Chorus]

Hey now, wake up

It's a beautiful day

Hey now, look up

You're always turning away (aahh)

Are you falling asleep?

Hey now, wake up

Are you looking away?

Hey now, look up

Are you watching?

It's a brand new day and you shouldn't be fading away

Aahh, aahh, aahh

[Verse 3]

And so it begins countdown can you think of a reason why you so love it downtown?

I met you in the middle of this scandalous town

It's a miracle you're walking around

Countdown in a dark town, and so it begins

It started with a minute of your favorite sound

A sexy little secret of a radio song

I wish it wasn't floating around

Countdown to a tight sound, and so it begins

[Bridge]

Aahh, aahh, aahh, aahh, aahh, aahh

Are you falling asleep?

[Outro]

Hey now, wake up

Are you looking away?

Hey now, look up

Are you watching?

It's a brand new day and you shouldn't be fading away (aahh)

And so it begins
