Body Rock
Vidal Maria Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Born on a hungry street

Children of darkness grew upon the beat.
Anything in our way
We'll just move away.

I got the hearts to win
You got the eyes that say that I can.

We've gonna turn this town upside down tonight

They can't stop us now!
Body rock
Get your body into music

Body rock comes from deep inside me

Body rock
Let your body talk to me tonight.
We've come from underground
Oh
Stickin' together

Gonna turn the world around.
Runnin' through the neon night with a dream inside.
This is like something new

Heartbeat to heartbeat comin' straight at you.
We've got the moment now
Once we're on the move

They can't hold us now !
Body rock
Get your body into music

Body rock means you do it like you feel it

Body shot turns the beat electric

Body rock, let your body talk to me tonight.
Body rock
Get your body into music

Body rock comes from deep inside me

Body rock
Let your body talk to me
To me
To me

To me
To me.
Body rock means you do it like you feel it

Body rock, body rock, body rock, body rock.

i was fifteen years old. when that song became famous. I'm lucky because these are the times of my youth. And it's the trend of parties in places and we have showdown competitions when that's the music. I wouldn’t really trade music during the 80s. any music. love song.rock. newwaves.specially the party music. like fiction factory. krafwreck.the dawn.midnight oil. and lots of band related during the same era. now I'm 50 years old, that's still my music on my usb that I always listen
