transformedjust a bit of a break from the normjust a little
somethin' to break the monotonyof all that hardcore dance

to dancebut what about the groove that soothes that moves
romancegive me a soft subtle mixand if ain't broke then
don't try to fix itand think of the summers of the
pastadjust the base and let the alpine blastpop in my CD and let
me run a rhymeand put your car on cruise and lay back cause this
