E.S.P.
Deee-Lite Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

ESP ouijee yeeyee
ESP runs right through me
Sometimes to blind to see
The mirror between you and me

ESP boomerang me
ESP mind orgy
Like a songbird melody
Whose cage is really free

ESP hypnotize me
ESP 3D stylee
I'd walk a milely for your smilely
Because it's really recommended quite highly

Won't you listen to what the DJ's spinnin
He's tappin into just what you're feelin
Won't you listen to what the DJ's spinnin
He's tappin into just what you're feelin

Supernatural perhaps
Supernatural perhaps
Psychic power psychic power

ESP mystery see
ESP skips right through time see
Freaky mystiquery
It's ESP I dig highly

Copper beat conducts our feet
Like a doodle beat skipping down the street
In 3D NYC
You can hold the bird
But the song she sings is really free

Psychic power psychic power
Midi soul is really groovy
On a roll this DJ moves me
To some he is a guru
He pushes grooves that go right through you

Won't you listen to what the DJ's spinnin
He's tappin into just what you're feelin




Won't you listen to what the DJ's spinnin
He's tappin into just what you're feelin
