If you want a new connection I'll be just a step away Come on move in my direction Leave your doll's house at the breaking of the day Get this message from your heartbeat There's an ally you can trust You've been searching for adventure Follow me, lets take the golden path. There's a universal daddy for everyone From universal kingdom number one He sends his universal angels Through the air To universal dreamers Everywhere Blowing kisses Any girl from any nation Any boy could drive my car I'll supply the next sensation It'll happen if you wish upon a star Throwing stones against your windows Don't pretend you're not at home You can meet me if you want me But I'd like to meet you all alone There's a universal daddy For everyone From universal kingdom Number one He sends his universal angels Through the air To universal dreamers Everywhere Blowing kisses
