Shake It On
Jamiroquai Lyrics
What can I do?
I can't take up and down like this no more, babe
I need to find out where I am
Before I reach the stars
Yeah, before I step on Mars
I've been spinning and I'm blue
Thinking 'bout my life and how to change it
Crazy thoughts I'd like to leave behind
Oh yeah, it's gonna blow my mind
Deadly days and killer nights
It's hard to keep things tight
I don't have a love affair
With all these lonely flights
Promises of liquid gold
Mend my heart but not my soul, yeah
You know it won't be long
So shake it on
You know it won't be long
So shake it on
You know it won't be long
So shake it on
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
And now I'm movin' on
Gonna be a freak tonight
It's a solid state affair
I can feel it everywhere
Music still infecting me
Music still protecting me, yeah
Funking super starlight freaks
It's the source of our delight
If we're gonna do this thing
Let's do it and do it right
I know we can reach the stars
I know we can reach the heights, yeah
Oh yeah, I'm gonna shake it on
You, know it won't be long
So shake it on
You, know it won't be long
So shake it on
Gonna be a freak tonight
You know it won't be long
So shake it on
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
And now I'm movin' on
Gonna be a freak tonight
(Gonna be a freak tonight)
What can I do?
I can't take up and down like this no more, babe
Gonna be a freak tonight
What can I do?
People scream but I can't hear
I don't care too much
Crocodile and toxic tears can't kick this sense of touch
Life has lost its eloquence
But I can't sit it on the fence
Feel like being treacherous
With the music still infecting us
Gonna be a freak tonight
Gonna be a freak tonight
You, know it won't be long so shake it on
Gonna be a freak tonight
You, know it won't be long so shake it on
Gonna be a freak tonight
Gonna be a freak tonight
Gonna be a freak tonight

Lucio Cavallo Carbonell
this is how you open an album after 7 years of absence. funky, straight up lyrics and kicking ass.
Luisa Ritosa
what happened to him, why he stopped for so long? do you know maybe?
Tamar Tsintsadze
Every time I listen to this song, I have goosebumps remembering that emotional moment, when he started his live performance with this beat! Jamiroquai is the only music I can listen to endlessly.
Andrepaulistano
This song also teleports me to that December, 19th, 2017 when the band made its last presentation in Brazil, with Jay Kay and the other members entering the stage to begin the set list. It was an unforgettable moment and I put that concert among the three best I've seen in my life.
Michele Marazzini
Me too, this and frank Sinatra
Claudia Flores
you are so fortunate to have seen them in concert! That's my dream <3
Peter Metz
hmm, yeah, perhaps that is so
Danny DR
Same feelings. I saw him live in Amsterdam and they started with this track. Goosebumps all over. One of the most magical moments of my life!

The switch from electronic sounds from the first half to real instruments in the second is awesome
