Been down yeah! Well I look down and my mind blows
away — Deep in the darkness «illuminate» Beyond a
million miles — Something slid up to my head Circling
around my eye — eye — eyes And I said, «Smooth operator»
sez: Get up — get up — and outta here, Smooth operator
sez: Yeah! Lights — band the traffic thunder two blocks
west of the rest — Tore away the bottom and saw life is a
test — Beyond 1,000,000 miles — Well I ricocheted through
my head — One hand kill the other’s cra-a-crazy —
What she said — Smooth operator sez: Get up! get up! and
outta here, Smooth operator sez: Yeah!!! Sail into night-
ghost ship a tripping — Struck by the plunge something to
see — yeah — Bootleg the girl — she is a looka — Pure is the
fear that breaks away — Straight to the sun I am a
walk’n state of the art — all that I see [Yeah] New gods
move whipp’n the shore and dash
on the reef — surf city… I walk
alone and stare, man, right in the
sun — Tear-jerk asylum and cemetery
run — Well, how’d I ever get this far
man? Smooth curves switchback the
sweat — Underneath the body, baby —
where what you see is what you —
see and what you get
