Through this smoke the dancers move
Demonic dirty downtown groove
Visions of the day retreat
Come on baby feel the heat
Then I can disappear
And be at peace
But when my mind is clear
I cant get no release
In the dark the dancers shout
Scream the cry of freedom out
Strobe crescendos in the night
Minds take cover, souls take flight
Oh let me disappear
Set me free, set me free
Buy when my mind is clear
I cant get no release
Set me free, set me free baby
Well I can feel it yeah
I can feel it, feel it, feel it, feel it
