Put on my raving shoes and I boarded a plane
Touched down in the land where the skies were blue
In the middle of the pouring rain
Everybody was happy, energy shining down on me
Yeah, I've got a first-class ticket, been as good as a boy can be

I'm raving, I'm raving
I'm raving til' the sweat drops fall down off me
I'm raving, I'm raving
But do I really feel the way I feel?

Yeah
Come on
Yeah

Put on my raving shoes and I boarded a plane
Touched down in the land where the skies were blue
In the middle of the pouring rain
Everybody was happy, energy shining down on me
Yeah, I've got a first class ticket, been as good as a boy can be

I'm raving, I'm raving
I'm raving til' the sweat drops fall down off me
I'm raving, I'm raving
But do I really feel the way I feel?

Yeah, come on, wicked, wicked, wicked
Give it up now, give it up now, give it up now
Yeah

I'm raving, I'm raving
I'm raving til' the sweat drops fall down off me
I'm raving, I'm raving
But do I really feel the way I feel?
But do I really feel the way I feel?
