Disco dancing with the lights down low Beats are pumping on my stereo Neighbor's banging on the bathroom wall He's saying 'Crank the bass, I gotta get some more' Water's running in the wrong direction Got a feeling it's a mixed up sign, I can see it in my own reflection Something funny's going on inside my mind. Don't know what is pushing me higher It's the static from the floor below And then it drops And catches like fire And it's a sound I, it's a sound I know It's the sound of the underground, The beat of the drum goes round and round Into to the overflow Where the girls get down to the sound of the radio Out to the 'lectric night Where the bass line jumps in the backstreet lights The beat goes around and round It's the sound of the under, sound of the underground Chain reaction running through my veins Pumps the bass line up into my brains Screws my mind until I lose control And when the building rocks I know it's got my soul Water's running in the wrong direction Got a feeling it's a mixed up sign I can see it in my own reflection Something funny's going on inside my mind Don't know what, is pushing me higher It's the static from the floor below And then it drops And catches like fire And it's a sound I, and it's a sound I know It's the sound of the underground, The beat of the drum goes round and round Into the overflow Where the girls get down to the sound of the radio Into the 'lectric night Where the bass line jumps in the backstreet lights The beats goes around and round It's the sound of the under, sound of the underground And when the building rocks I know it's got my soul
