Can‘t say if it‘s heaven or pure hell
C - G C - G
Am I riding a one-way road
C - G C - G ( Bass Line instead C B A G )

We‘re moving fast but we‘re going nowhere

Feel the groove and the funky sound

I close my eyes and the light still shine
and we better let go

N.C.
They say that people have a tendency
To never see the truth unless they pour it down
with Heineken or Hennessey
You‘re staring down barrel of a bottle and it‘s bittersweet
The business we attending to is this supremacy
I‘m that flickering greenlight
I‘m like liquor on a weeknight
I‘m the spirit of the city in the thick street of a fight
A book and a letter I‘m looking to get her
The bigger the better the sound
and it took me forever the borders were
never so easy to break going down
[Refrain 1]
Em Em D D
I wanna get to the funkytown
A/C# A/C# C C
I wanna get to the funkytown
[Refrain 2]
Em Em G
Where you set my soul on fire

I know that you‘ll be mine

Gimme more, Gimme more, gimme more more more more
||: Em | |G | |A | |B | :||
Flickering green light I‘m a liquor on a weeknight
I‘m the spirit of the city In the thick of a street fight
Gimme more Gimme more Gimme more Gimme more Gimme more
