Lyrics

[Verse 1]

When are we ever goin' to calm down?

Know I should do, but I love the sound

All I really wanna do is dance

My lover keeps askin' when I'm gonna leave here, get home

Now I'm far too caught up in the zone

All I really wanna do is dance

[Verse 2]

There's this thing that I feel called joy when I free myself

Why would I want to toy with my soul, my wealth?

Leave me alone now, boy, by now, can't you tell?

All I really wanna do is get

[Verse 3]

Down, down, down-down, down, down, down-down

Down, down, down-down, down, down, down-down

Down, down, down-down, down, down, down-down

Down, down, down-down, down, down, down-down

[Verse 4]

When are we ever going to calm down?

Know I should do, but I love the sound

Higher than a bird of prey, I fly

See, my lover's gon' be mad at me in the morning

See the day already dawnin'

Watch the colors seep into the sky, sky

[Verse 5]

There's this thing that I feel called joy when I free myself

(There's this thing I feel)

Why would I want to toy with my soul, my wealth?

(Tell me what I want)

Leave me alone now, boy, by now, can't you tell?

(Please just leave me be)

All I really wanna do is get

[Verse 6]

Down, down, down-down, down, down, down-down

Down, down, down-down, down, down, down-down

Down, down, down-down, down, down, down-down

Down, down, down-down, down, down, down-down

[Verse 7]

It's too late, it's taken all control

Taken all control of me

It's too late, it's burrowed in my soul now

Deep down, deep down

Fills this space, without it, I'm so hollow

I'm so empty

It's too late for thinkin' 'bout tomorrow, ooh

[Verse 8]

So keep calm (Down, down, down-down)

So keep calm (Down, down, down-down)

So keep calm (Down, down, down-down)

In the night, down, now (Down, down, down-down)

[Verse 9]

So keep calm (Down, down, down-down)

So keep calm (Down, down, down-down)

So keep calm (Down, down, down-down)

In the night, down, now (Down, down, down-down)

[Verse 10]

So keep calm (Down, down, down-down)

So keep calm (Down, down, down-down)

So keep calm (Down, down, down-down)

In the night, down, now (Down, down, down-down)

[Verse 11]

So keep calm (Down, down, down-down)

So keep calm (Down, down, down-down)

So keep calm (Down, down, down-down)

In the night, down, now (Down, down, down-down)
