Erlend og Steinjo presenterer: Flashdance!

Here we go it's time to dance, so show me what you've got
I breake all day and all night long with my electric dancing feet
when I was young i could not sleep, I was breaking in the street
I breake to stand off doing homework, I'm not a criminal
this is the price you got to pay to make you stay away
from the gangstas in the streets, I do breakdance in the stead
My dad has told me how to break, the basic moves and steps
I break because I think it's funny, I'd like to show you how

flashdance
we dance until the break of dawn and
daance flash
Instead of to let you work nine-to-five and
Flashdance
let your body move to the music
flashdance all night long

I just wanna have a friend who wants to dance with me
If you're not from NY city, You don't belong to me
I don't need to have a girl, because I'm married to the dance
I wake up at seven o'clock, spinning on my head
all my friends are breaking too, I taught them all I know
When I go to bed at night, I'm working on my show
I've been all around the world, from london to tibet
All the chicks down in miami say they love me anyway

flashdance
we dance until the break of dawn and
daance flash
Instead of to let you work nine-to-five and
Flashdance
let your body move to the music
flashdance all night long

flashdance
we dance until the break of dawn and
daance flash
Instead of to let you work nine-to-five and
Flashdance
let your body move to the music
flashdance all night long

flashdance
we dance until the break of dawn and
daance flash
Instead of to let you work nine-to-five and
Flashdance




let your body move to the music
flashdance all night long
