Uptempo Venomous Poison
The Hives Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You might already know but a green light
Flashes before my eyes and it's time for my verbal flow
You're overthere I'm overhere
And I got things to say the latest news
About this and that and whatever might
Come my way
So I can tell you anything, anything you
Might wanna know
It's the truth, so I've heard, so I've read
Yeah, that's the word
So I'm about to tell you anything, anything
You might wanna know and I won't hold
Back noway cause I like the way we GO
GO GO!
Tell me something, and I'll be gone,
Twisting facts and surely I'll pass'em on
I pass the word, I set it free and every
Word you'll ever here has at some point
Been through me
I can tell you anything, anything you might
Wanna hear So red light yellow light green
Light go then I'm the one to put the word
Out there.
