[Intro]
She may be the face I can't forget
[Verse 1]
The first time I saw lightning strike, I saw it underground
Six deep feet below the street, the sky came crashing down
For a second that place was lost in space
Then everything went black
I left that basement burning and I never went back

Hey, hey, hey, yes, I like it a lot
Hey, hey, hey, yes, I'm jumping like a jumping jack
Dancing, screaming, itching, squealing, fevered
Feeling hot, hot, hot
