Do It Again
Holy Ghost! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nothing's the matter
That's why I can't leave my house
You must get lonely
No, I don't get lonely
So, that's why I can't leave my house
Well, head into number 65279 the city?
Well, I guess it can't hurt
Nothing's on the television
On the networks
Take me outta context
Take me outta here
Put the windows down
Swing it down
Really tune it out
There's somethin' goin' on,
But I don't know where
You're playin' with your telephone
You're playin' with your hair
The record seems broken
Yeah, I really don't care
Put the windows, swing it down
Really tune it out
Do it again, d-d-d-do it again
Do it again, d-d-d-do it again
Same club, same verdict
Same D.J.'s workin'
Feels like I've been here before
Haven't you heard it?
No, I don't think I heard it
I'd like to hear it some more
Head into the city?
Well, I guess it can't hurt
Nothin' on the television on the networks
Take me outta context
Take me outta here
Put the windows down
Scream it down, really tune it out
D-d-d-do it again, d-d-d-do it again
Do it again, d-d-d-do it again
Do it again, d-d-d-do it again
Do it again, d-d-d-do it again

I heard this song inside a Nordstrom and was like what in the sweet Herb Alpert sounding bass line is this. Love it

I found this song in the movie, 'Secret Headquarters,' 2022.
A kid discovers his dad is a superhero.
Then all hell breaks loose.
