Basement Jaxx Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

She's a funky feline machine
Crazy cat inside your dream
She's's a honey, she stings like a bee
You're the punk and she's the queen

She's an angel, she's a dove
With a taste for villains blood
Packing heat, strutting on the street

Chew you up and make you meat
Sexy feline machine

You can't stop her
Ya-ya-ya-ya
Sexy feline machine
You can't stop her
Ya-ya-ya-ya

She's a funky feline machine
Crazy cat inside your dream

She's's a honey, she stings like a bee
You're the punk and she's the queen
