Verse It’s about the time of night that you need to get home The walls are spinning and you cannot find your phone Your feet are dragging and your brain has gone haywire Your head is spinning, just like a rolling tire Oh, I said oh You’re doin’ all the things I don’t Chorus Till they play your favourite song, And you You start to sing along, To the Words are in your heart and from your head Verse Bad thoughts are starting to seem like some good ideas You no longer feel pain You no longer feel fear Your mind is empty, yet you feel like you’re on fire Your head is spinning, just like a rolling tire Oh, I said Oh You’re doin’ all the things I don’t Chorus They play your favourite song, And you You start to sing along, to the Words are in your heart and from your head Your arms are waving round and your feet pounding the ground With your, baby in your arms you are Oh yeh Bridge Put your hands up, move em’ all around and put your feet Shimmer to the ground Put your hands up, move em’ all around and put your feet Shimmer to the ground Put your hands up, move em’ all around and put your feet Shimmer to the ground Put your hands up move em’ all around and put your feet Chorus They play your favourite song, And you You start to sing along, to the Words are in your heart and from your head Your arms are waving round and your feet pounding the ground With your, baby in your arms you are I said you are You’re doin’ all the things I don’t.
