Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(White light) White light gonna drive me outta my brain
(White light) White light gonna make me go insane
(White heat) White light travels down to your toes
(White light) Don't let a man say white light dead
[Verse 2]
(White light) White light gonna drive me outta my mind
(White light) White light gonna make me go blind
(White heat) White light travels right down to your toes
(White light) Lord, have mercy when the goodness knows
[Verse 3]
Oh, white light
I said oh, white light
Oh, white heat
Oh, white heat
[Verse 4]
(White light) White light gonna drive me outta my brain
(White light) White light gonna make me go insane
(White heat) White light travels way down to your toes
(White light) Lord, have mercy when the goodness knows
[Verse 5]
(White light) White light gonna drive me outta my brain
(White light) White light could make me go blind
(White heat) White light gonna travel down to your toes
(White light) Lord, have mercy when the goodness knows
[Verse 6]
I said oh, white light
Oh, white light
Oh, white heat
What's that sound? What's that sound? Want you dead or alive
Oh, white heat
It's not gonna burn anyone
