Sexy Music
The Nolans Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well I head on out at the local disco hall
wehere the kids get down to the funky disco wall
well the music hit me high it hit me low
oh babe, I was getting it all
Through the smoky funky scene
man, you should have been
they have those disco lights

flashing through the night
Sexy music on the wall
Sexy music I was getting it all
Sexy music on the wall

Sexy music I was getting it all
Oh reflections in the night
Sexy actions in the light
how those shadows turn me on

one look and I was gone
When I checked the time I should be heading home
I'm shaking to that rhythm in my soul
those shadows flickered

high they flickered low
oh babe, nearly lost control
Through the smoky funky scene
man you should have been
hey have those disco lights
flashing through the night
Sexy music on the wall

Sexy music I was getting it all
Sexy Sexy music on the wall
Sexy music I was getting it all
Sexy Sexy music

Through the smoky funky scene
man you should have been
we raised our body heat
as we danced on to the best

Oh reflections in the night
Sexy actions in the light

how those shadows turn me on
one look and I was gone
Sexy music on the wall
Sexy music I was getting it all
Sexy music on the wall
Sexy music I was getting it all
Sexy music on the wall
Sexy music I was getting it all

Sexy music on the wall
Sexy music I was getting it all
