Break down

Hey, uh

Come on boy
I've been waiting for somebody
To pick up my stroll, uh

Uh, well don't waste time
Give me a sign
Tell me how you wanna roll, uh, mm

I want somebody to speed it up for me
Then take it down slow
There's enough room for both

Well, I can handle that
You just gotta show me where it's at
Are you ready to go?
(Are you ready to go?) (freaky, freaky, freaky, freaky, freaky come on)

If you want it
You already got it
If you thought it
It better be what you want, uh (freaky, freaky)
If you feel it
It must be real just
Say the word and
I'm a give you what you want, uh

Time is waiting
We only got four minutes
To save the world
No hesitating
Grab a boy
Grab a girl
Time is waiting
We only got four minutes
To save the world
No hesitating
We only got four minutes, huh
Four minutes

So keep it up, keep it up
Don't be a pri- (hey), Madonna, uh
You gotta get 'em a, hop
Tick tock tick tock tick tock
That's right, keep it up, keep it up
Don't be a pri- (hey) Madonna, uh

You gotta get em' a, hop
Tick tock tick tock tick tock (freaky, freaky)
Sometimes I think what I need
Is a you intervention, yeah

And you know I can (ah c'mon)
Tell that you like it
And that it's good, by the way
That you move, ooh, hey

The road to hell is paved
With good intentions, yeah

But if I die tonight
At least I can say I did
What I wanted to do, uh
Tell me, how 'bout you?

If you want it
You already got it
If you thought it
It better be what you want (uh, c'mon)
If you feel it
It must be real just
Say the word and
I'ma give you what you want, uh

Time is waiting
We only got four minutes
To save the world
No hesitating
Grab a boy
Grab a girl
Time is waiting
We only got four minutes
To save the world
No hesitating
We only got four minutes, huh
Four minutes

So keep it up, keep it up
Don't be a pri-hey, Madonna, uh
You gotta get 'em a, hop
Tick tock tick tock tick tock
That's right, keep it up, keep it up
Don't be a pri-hey, Madonna, uh
You gotta get 'em a, hop
Tick tock tick tock tick tock

Breakdown, yeah

Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.

Step
Ministry
Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
