We were laughing in a daydream
With the world beneath our feet
And the sun smiled on the water
Where the skies and the ocean meet
We were so spellbound
Oh, spellbound
When you think
Your toys have gone berserk
It’s an illusion
You cannot shake
You hear laughter
Cracking through the walls
It sends you spinning
You have no choice
Following the footsteps
Of a rag doll dance
We are entranced
Spellbound
All I know is that to me
You look like you’re havin’ fun
Open up your lovin’ arms
Watch out, here I come
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round
Like a record, baby, right 'round, 'round, 'round
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round
Like a record, baby, right 'round, 'round, 'round
Now the ballroom’s empty
Everybody I’ve known
Has been and gone
With the music over
Here am I
A shadow echoing on
Spin me round
Oh, yeah, it was like lightning
Everybody was frightening
And the music was soothing
And they all started grooving
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And the man at the back said, “Everyone, attack”
And it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said, “Boy, I wanna warn ya
It’ll turn into a ballroom blitz”
You’re a loop of lazy lightnin’, just a loop of lazy lightnin’
Must admit you’re kinda frightnin’ but you really get me high
So exciting, when I hear your velvet thunder,
You seem so near I start to wonder
Would you come closer if, if I asked you to?
(He’s not the one) He’s ball lightning.
(He’s not the one) He’s ball lightning
(He’s not the one) He’s ball lightning
We’ll get some overhead lifters, then some four-barrel quads, oh yeah
(Keep talking, whoa, keep talking)
A fuel injection cutoff and chrome plated rods, oh yeah
(I’ll get the money, I’ll kill to get the money)
With a four-speed on the floor they’ll be waiting at the door –
You know that ain’t no shit, we’ll be getting lots of tit!
Grease Lightning

Trouble-free transmission,
Helps your oil’s flow
Mama, let me pump your gas,
Mama, let me do it all
Talkin′ 'bout love
Talkin′ 'bout love
Talkin′ 'bout…
Check that heavy metal
Underneath your hood
Baby, I could work all night,
Believe I’ve got the perfect tools
Talkin′ ′bout love
Talkin’ ′bout love
Talkin’ ′bout…
A body like yours oughta be in jail
‘Cause it’s on the verge of bein’ obscene
Move over, baby, gimme the keys
I’m gonna try to tame your little red love machine
Little Red Corvette
Baby, you’re much too fast
Little Red Corvette
Need to find a love that’s gonna last, hey hey
I’m in love with my car
Got to feel for my automobile
Get a grip on my boy racer roll bar
Such a thrill when your radials squeal
I’d said I flash your lights, mama, you horn won’t even blow
Somebody’s been runnin’ my batteries down on this machine
I even flash my lights, mama, this horn won’t even blow
Got a short in this connection, hoo well, babe, it’s way down below
Drive like the wind
Straining the limits of machine and man
Laughing out loud with fear and hope
I’ve got a desperate plan
At the one-lane bridge
I leave the giants stranded at the riverside
Race back to the farm
To dream with my uncle at the fireside
It is the night, my body’s weak
I’m on the run, no time to sleep
I’ve got to ride, ride like the wind
To be free again
And I’ve got such a long way to go
To make it to the border of Mexico
So, I’ll ride like the wind, ride like the wind
She’s like the wind
Through my trees
She rides the night
Next to me
She leads me through moonlight, only to burn me with the sun
She’s taking my heart; she doesn’t know what she’s done
And so our love’s not a simple thing
Nor our truths unwavering
But like the moon’s pull on the tide
Our fingers touch our hearts collide
I’ll be a moonsbreath from your side
Did it take long to find me?
I asked the faithful light
Oh, did it take long to find me?
And are you gonna stay the night?
I’m bein’ followed by a moonshadow
Moonshadow, moonshadow
Leapin’ and hoppin’ on a moonshadow
Moonshadow, moonshadow
Hope lost his head and got off on alligators
Somebody’s leavin’ peanuts on the curbins
For, uh, white elephant escaped from zoo with love
Goes t’ show you what, uh, moon can do
Moonlight on Vermont
Sleepy alligator in the noonday sun
Sleeping by the river just like he usually done
Call for his whiskey
He can call for his tea
Call all he want to but he
Can’t call me
[we had crocodilians’s show up in titles earlier note]
I can see you’ve got the blues
In your alligator shoes
Me, I’m all smiles
I got my crocodiles
