The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Easy Moby on the controls
Oh, come and take me away
Oh, because everything is wrong today
I look the east, there are colors in the sky
The sun on my face, and oh I've started to cry
Easy Moby on the controls
Because every time you touch me I feel like I'm being born
Every time you touch me I feel like I need some more
Love's all high, never feeling bad
Used to be alone now I feel so glad
'Cause every time you touch me I feel like I'm being born
Anytime you need some peace
Come along, and stay with me
The forest burns, there are fires in the sky
Is everybody under controls?
Because every time you touch me I feel like I'm being born
Every time you touch me I feel like I need some more
Love's all high, never feeling bad
Used to be alone now I feel so glad
'Cause every time you touch me I feel like I'm being born
(Colors in the sky)
One time in the place we've got to be free, come on
One time in the place now come stay with me
Because I pull it to the left, pull it to the right
Massive song, we never uptight
Want everybody just feel alright
Massive chorus to make you excite
Because every time you touch me I feel like I'm being born
(Word's out, come on people)
Every time you touch me I feel like I need some more
(Sound system's rocking myself)
Love's all high, never feeling bad
Used to be alone, now I feel so glad
Every time you touch me I feel like I'm being born
(I am not looking to do that, do it to me)
Because every time you touch me I feel like I'm being born
(Beautiful people, now)
Every time you touch me I feel like I need some more
(Just come to thy self esteem)
Love's all high, never feeling bad
Used to be alone, now I feel so glad
Every time you touch me I feel like I'm being born
(Sound system's rocking myself)
Oh, come and take me away
Oh, because everything is wrong today
I look the east, there are colors in the sky
The sun on my face, and oh I've started to cry
Easy Moby on the controls
Because every time you touch me I feel like I'm being born
Every time you touch me I feel like I need some more
Love's all high, never feeling bad
Used to be alone now I feel so glad
'Cause every time you touch me I feel like I'm being born
Anytime you need some peace
Come along, and stay with me
The forest burns, there are fires in the sky
Is everybody under controls?
Because every time you touch me I feel like I'm being born
Every time you touch me I feel like I need some more
Love's all high, never feeling bad
Used to be alone now I feel so glad
'Cause every time you touch me I feel like I'm being born
(Colors in the sky)
One time in the place we've got to be free, come on
One time in the place now come stay with me
Because I pull it to the left, pull it to the right
Massive song, we never uptight
Want everybody just feel alright
Massive chorus to make you excite
Because every time you touch me I feel like I'm being born
(Word's out, come on people)
Every time you touch me I feel like I need some more
(Sound system's rocking myself)
Love's all high, never feeling bad
Used to be alone, now I feel so glad
Every time you touch me I feel like I'm being born
(I am not looking to do that, do it to me)
Because every time you touch me I feel like I'm being born
(Beautiful people, now)
Every time you touch me I feel like I need some more
(Just come to thy self esteem)
Love's all high, never feeling bad
Used to be alone, now I feel so glad
Every time you touch me I feel like I'm being born
(Sound system's rocking myself)
