Hey!, pick it up This'll get you out.. of your head China's heading up, by the ratings on a motion She goes with a real head biker, he's a metalhead She looks me up and down talkin' dirty eyes Sweet sayin' boy, baby I can lick you any time. (keep it up) (Ha ha, that's right) Here we go again... Bit later... I'm gonna run into 'em round the back While all them guys break heads in the sugar shack Don't give me drink, I don't wanna get too stoned Then we're gonna see who's gonna take who home The violence of summer, and love's taking over It starts with desire, ends up under cover Those lips will make me right.. You may look down but don't think twice (ooh-oh) So death is on the way, So what man? I still want to play.... (oh-oh Yeah..) One, two! This'll get you out, of your money This'll pick you up, let's go! We'll take a ride, going south where her mother writes For bad news catches up, we still got a little time We made it all so far away, One thing is sure, we shouldn't stay I'll take it all - China gonna get the run around, A run, a run around.. The violence of summer, and love's taking over It starts with desire, ends up under cover China,na China,na,na,na China,na China,na,na,na China,na China,na,na,na China,na China,na,na The violence of summer, and love's taking over It starts with desire, ends up under cover Mmmmmm Loves taking over..
