Starry Eyed Surprise
Paul Oakenfold · Bunkka [2002]
Tonight into the stars
Tonight I'm seein' stars
Tonight into the stars
Tonight I'm seein' stars
Tonight into the stars
Tonight I'm seein' stars
Once again I found myself with my friends
Dancin' the night away it's like the party never ends
Then again we don't want it to stop cause
Tonight's the night it goes sweat box, laser beams, flashin' lights
Wild cards, been from mars, dressed in stars and stripes
Ecliptic electric
Ladies of the evenin'
Drinkin' booze and minglin'
Lodgin' to the music I can do anything
Freaky Deaky star speckles and pink butterflies
Life is nice, so nice
I walk into a club and I've found paradise
I'm seein' stars, I can't believe my eyes
I'm seein' stars
CHORUS:
Oh my starry eyed surprise
Sundown to Sunrise
Dance all night
We gonna dance all night
Dance all night to this DJ
Ah sugar dance all night to this DJ
Oh my starry eyed surprise
Sundown to Sunrise
Dance all night
We gonna dance all night
Dance all night to this DJ
Ah sugar dance all night to this DJ
Dance all night to this DJ
Ah lover dance all night to this DJ
Now the record I was feelin's on the trails we blaze
The walls are closin' in but that's okay
Cause I've been waitin' all week to feel this way
And it feels so good so good
I'm on top of the world
The coolest kid in the neighbourhood
So let me be your star for one night, that's right
Sweat box, lazer beems, flashin' lights
You've got to, feel the rush, feel the spice of life
Thug life, Shifty rolls the dice
Snake eyes, surprise
Icein', Mesmerizin'
The minds of sick ones
Cause what we are are victims of fun
C'mon C'mon
The fun is just begun
C'mon the fun has just begun
CHORUS
Hey DJ!
Tonight into the stars
Tonight I'm seein' stars
It goes ooh la la I see stars
I'm seein' stars, I'm seein' stars
Seein' stars, I'm seein' stars
Seein' stars, I'm seein' stars
CHORUS
