Live It Up
Pigeons Playing Ping Pong Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everybody knows just what she wants it for
But we know to ignore, everything is alright
She asks me for some more
Everybody knows I've done this dance before
I dip her to the floor, everything is alright
Oh, it's your chance dont refuse it, live it up
Oh, it's your chance dont refuse it, live it up
so we can dance to the moon, live it up
You act like I don't know
Everybody sees right through the hand you show
And me im just a plug, like everything in your life
I even up the score, everybody knows I've taken chances before
Let's chase it through the door, like everything is alright
Oh, it's your chance dont refuse it live it up
so we can dance to the moon live it up
Oh, it's your chance dont refuse it live it up
so we can dance to the moon live it up
Oh, its your chance dont refuse it live it up
so we can dance to the moon live it up
Oh, its your chance dont refuse it live it up
so we can dance to the moon live it up
