lyrics

DJ saved my life last night
Now I know everything is all right
One more chance to say goodbye
‘cuz a DJ saved my life

Bright white light strikes sight from my eyes
The flash and the drink keep me stumblin' blind
There's four on the floor, pour some more of mine
And if I get back on the stool I can clear my mind
Hit again with white and I gasp for breath
Tonight I might die so I pass for Death
The scythe, my bottle, I die alone
Blood pumps faster than the flash of the strobe
Another flash passes over and I know I'm gone
DJ wakes up to put a fresh hit on
A kick, and a kick, and a kick from the song
Clap snaps me awake, guess I might make dawn ‘cuz

People keep close life is easy
Hands on hips, “Get close to me"
Grind in more, “Let me see”
Teeth grind too my mind is free
4/4 pulse just keeps me going
Bass buzzing chest just like I'm moaning
light scatters from crowd to eyes to floors and
it’s 140BPM this morning
I shiver from the sweat passin' under the vent
Hit the door with my shoulder,
through the frame I step
My mouth is dry; my eyes are wet
And tomorrow I'm'a do it all over again ‘cuz

Double time snare
Strobe lightning fills the air
Feel the thunder
Feel the power
Feel the fire
Feel it here
Vibrations in the floor
Now I know we’re going down
Electric in the sky
Now our minds are in the clouds
And my mind’s an open door
And my mind’s an open war
As the lights fill the floor
I cast my sights on yours
A blur from the scythe
Like a knife in my mind
A gasp as you near
pulling lips close to mine
As the pulse pulls the hair on the back of my neck
And the beat breaks the breath full of life in my chest
I ready arms’ embrace and my eyes open wide
Watching visions in the sky
Now I know I’m alive, ‘cuz
