Disco Nights
GQ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just lend us an ear
Involve yourself, you're free to follow
And we'll take you there
You said you want to reach the sky
So get up
The feeling's right and the music's tight
The feeling's right and the music's tight
Disco nights
Just say you will
Just do what you feel
I'm for real
The music's full of joy and laughter
And it's such a thrill
Free your mind from all the pressure
Head on up the hill
You said you want to reach the sky
So get up
The feeling's right and the music's tight
Disco nights, disco nights
Rock freak, rock freak
Rock freak, rock freak
Don't say you will
Just do what you feel
I'm for real
The feeling's right and the music's tight
On the disco nights
The feeling's right and the music's tight
On the disco nights
The feeling's right and the music's tight
Disco nights
The feeling's right and the music's tight
On the disco nights
