Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Love gives me poetry, stays up all night and puts a curse on me
Oh, anything you want, turn around and I'll take you there
I know it's gonna be, take your shackles off of me
This city's gone, I'm goin' over there
[Verse 2]
Kick it in, kick it in, build it up and burn it down again
Kick it in, kick it in, burn down to the ground
Kick it in, kick it in, tell me 'bout this place you've been
I don't want it, there's a fever goin' around
[Verse 3]
Take a walk downtown, see what's goin' on
If you wanna find a hidden key, there's nothin' here on me
Any city, anywhere, any color, I don't care
You belong to me, that's the way it's gonna be
[Verse 4]
Kick it in, kick it in, yeah
Yeah
[Verse 5]
Kick it in, kick it in, raise it up and let it live again
Feel your body shake and take off
You can lie, keep it in, keep me down here wonderin'
What's it gonna be? Come on in
[Verse 6]
I like the shape you're in
You keep me wonderin', wonderin', wonderin'
[Verse 7]
Eyes upon you, black and brown, spread your love all over town
Give me fire, body heat, say hello to me
I wanna go anywhere, any color, I don't care
Don't believe in all you see, and don't get caught
[Verse 8]
Kick it in, kick it in, tell me 'bout this love you've been
Kick it in, kick it in, turn this life around
Kick it in, kick it in, shake the ghosts from deep within
Close the door down, don't let the demons in
[Verse 9]
Yeah
[Verse 10]
I wanna be your friend, put your hands in my hand
And take off with me
[Verse 11]
Listen, baby, I'm goin' home
I'm goin' home
I'm going home
Ooh, walk to me
[Verse 12]
'Cause I know what I see, kick it in
[Verse 13]
Kick it in, kick it in, tell me 'bout this place you're in
I've got a new gold dream
[Verse 14]
I'm movin' on, I'm movin' on
You're movin' on, you're movin' on, yeah
Movin' on, you're movin' on, yeah
Oh, kick it in
