Bend your back by the light o' the sun You come to the business You're the number one When twilight comes you're a runner in the night It turns you on like a hot tail-light Get down, you really get down, you never let down Come down, you never come down, you never come down Emotions in motion Back street boy gonna sell you some sin He'll wind you up, he gonna suck you in The blood say yes, the mind say no The voice in your ear say you go, go, go Run down, you really run down, you really run down Cool down, you never cool down, you better cool down Emotions in motion Give yourself to a life of extremes You're into the action, it's a part of your dream Now there're some things you never can tell But when the door lies open throw your coins in the well Get down, you really get down, you really get down Right now, you want it right now, hold tight now Emotions in motion
