Lyrics

[Intro]
Okay, folks, the John Norman Howard Speedway
[Intro]
Watch closely now
You'll observe a curious exchange of energy
Are you a figment of my imagination
Or I'm one of yours?
[Chorus]
Watch closely now
Are you watching me now?
[Verse 1]
Your eyes are like fingers, they're touching my body and arousing my soul
Riding the passion arising inside me, how high can I go?
You're comin' with me, girl, I'm gonna show you how
When it's scary, don't look down
[Chorus]
Watch closely now
Are you watching me now?
[Verse 2]
I see the hunger arise in your eyes, and it's urging me on
Higher and harder and faster and farther than I've ever gone
We're coming closer, lady, don't ya leave me now
We're gonna make it, don't look down
[Bridge]
Maybe I'm takin' me too many chances with no net at all
Maybe I'll teach you, at least, that you've got to be free when you fall
[Chorus]
Watch closely now
Are you watching me now?
[Verse 3]
Master magician who's setting you free from the lies you've been told
When they're breaking your back, bring your last straw to me, I turn straw into gold
I'm gonna need you later when you're not around
But I can take it, don't look down
[Outro]
Watch closely now
Are you watching me now?
