I'll go blind before I stop [Chorus] And I'll go blind before I stop, they're gonna have to come in and lock me up And I'll go blind before I stop, 'cause this boy mama just want to rock There's a two ton fireball burnin' through the headphones Cuttin' up my heart, makin' ashes of my soul A lightning bolt petition, tonight I'm gonna sign Trouble out my window and I'm gonna find it And I'm feelin' the fever, takin' in the heat Bouncin' to the boogie, hittin' with the beat Wrapped in rhythm, dancin' till we drop [Chorus] Moonlite madness masquerade, I got my invitation, baby, time to play Rip off the headphones, shove my arm into the socket Sound comes rushing through me like an intravenous rocket And I'm feelin' the fever, takin' in the heat Bouncin' to the boogie, hittin' with the beat Wrapped in rhythm, dancin' till we drop [Chorus] Doin' it in the market, doin' it in the mall Doin' it in the bushes and the high school hall Doin' it in the alley, doin' it for free Now they're doin' it baby on MTV Doin' it in the backseat, doin' it on the beach Doin' it in the grandstand, just dancin' on the seats Doin' it in the movies, doin' it on the train Doin' it mile high in a big jet plane And I'm feelin' the fever, takin' in the heat Bouncin' to the boogie, hittin' with the beat Wrapped in rhythm, dancin' till we drop And I'll go blind before I stop, they're gonna have to come in and lock me up [Chorus]
