Hip Abduction Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Send your love right out to sea. And ride that wave on back to me
We are children of the sun. We come alive when we feel the heat
We are riding number one. We come alive when we feel the beat
Lover, lover, lover be Come on, come on, set me free.
With another, another, another beat. Come on, come on, cover me
Rise up in that morning light And float away in clouds of white
We′ll find a way in warm sunshine To get us lost inside our mind
We come alive when we feel the heat
We are riding number one. We come alive when we feel the beat
Lover, lover, lover be Come on, come on, set me free.
With another, another, another beat. Come on, come on, cover me
Lord set me free
Liberdade pra dentro da cabeca Na verdade, meu cumpadi,
Nada mais me interessa Viajei pela guerra e pela calma E a melhor
Coisa no mundo e' sentir a paz na alma Neste mundo velho, grande,
Enganador Na riqueza tem tristeza Na pobreza tem amor No
Conforto, sofrimento No trabalho,
Alegria Salve simpatia e tambem sabedoria
Lover, lover, lover be Come on, come on,
Set me free With another another
Another beat Come on, come on, cover me
Lover, lover, lover be Come on, come on,
Set me free With another another
Another beat Come on, come on, cover me
Lord set me free
