Peking O. Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Driving my way to
Driving my way back to yesterday
Driving my way back to yesterday
The night never sleeps
Driving my way back to yesterday
Driving my way back to yesterday
Driving my way
Driving my way back to yesterday
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!

[Verse 2]
Says I carry a heart
Mama gonna eat, Mama eat
Papa gonna eat, Mama gonna eat, Papa gonna eat
Mama gonna, Papa gonna, Mama gonna, Papa gonna
Mama gonna, Papa gonna, Mama gonna, Papa gonna
Mama gonna, Papa gonna, Mama gonna, Papa gonna
Mama gonna, Papa gonna eat
Mama gonna eat, Papa gonna eat
Mama gonna eat, Papa gonna eat
Mama gonna eat, Papa gonna eat
Mama gonna eat, Papa gonna eat
Mama gonna eat, Papa gonna eat
Mama gonna eat, Papa gonna eat
Mama gonna eat

[Verse 3]
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go through the window
Let's just go, let's just go, let's just go, let's just go
Just got to go, just got to go, just got to go, just got to go
Just got to go, just got to go

Paris and the bodies in America
Lala laalla ala
And we have each other
Together it's a warning
All aboard it's the truth!
All aboard the train we go!
All aboard the train we go!
All aboard the train we go!
So, come on!
So, come on!
So, come on!
So, come on!
So, come on!
All aboard the train we go!
All aboard the train we go!
Got to get a party a party party party
Got to get a party a party party party
Got to get a party a party party party
