[Verse 1]
This is joy, this is summer
Keep alive, stay alive
Got your metal on (Ooh), we're alone
Making sweet love, takin' time

Piece in my hand worth twice than a friend
And two limbs over shoulder, carried away
Because I'm stronger and the Congo is dim (Smoke)
In comes the morning, ah (Smoke)
In comes the morning, ah (Haze)
