If you know, you know
Tell me if you wanna ride
Faster than the speed of light
Only we can get it right (get it right, get it right)
If you know, you know
Tell me if you wanna ride
Faster than the speed of light
Only we can get it right (get it right, get it right)
If you know, you know
I see it in your eyes
Don’t wanna fight this feelin’
Just let it override
Fastened, we locked in, yeah
Look where the stars alligned
They screamin’ off that ceiling
Come on, let’s take a ride
Far beyond the skylight
Ecstatic
Light speed automatic
We don’t drive but we dive in
All the way down that cosmic drop
Like, like, like wow, stop
Love it when you make that beat rock
Rollin’ with galactic wolves, push and pull
I’m a freak on a beat like, uh
If you’re askin’ me where I wanna be, oh
Somewhere out of reach, place beyond my dreams
It’s one of a kind, out of it this time, oh, na, na, na
But, baby, only if you
If you know, you know
Tell me if you wanna ride
Faster than the speed of light
Only we can get it right (get it right, get it right)
If you know, you know
Tell me if you wanna ride
Faster than the speed of light
Only we can get it right (get it right, get it right)
If you know, you know
Global astro vehicle
Yeah, we do it nonstop to the SAIKO
And that means to the U-N-O in U-F-O
But if you knew, maybe, you would know?
Every planet I’m on
I’ma do what I want
I don’t talk when I walk
Say and it’s done
Like I already won
Sayonara, I’m gone
Ooh, swish
Yeah, that’s facts
Give me that boost with a little bounce back
Hey, do my dancey-dance
If you come at my girls
I might throw some hands, like
Take it to outterspace
We make it levitate
Fly through the interstate
‘Cause we go up, up, up
Yeah, we elevate
And we ate like a dinner plate, mm
If you’re askin’ me what’s beyond the deep, oh
Come and take a leap, just follow my lead
It’s one of a kind, out of it this time, oh, na, na, na
But, baby, only if you
If you know, you know
Tell me if you wanna ride
Faster than the speed of light
Only we can get it right (get it right, get it right)
If you know, you know
Tell me if you wanna ride
Faster than the speed of light
Only we can get it right (get it right, get it right)
If you know, you know
Tell me if you wanna ride
Faster than the speed of light
Only we can get it right (get it right, get it right)
If you know, you know
Tell me if you wanna ride
Faster than the speed of light
Only we can get it right (get it right, get it right)
If you know, you know
I-Y-K-Y-K, ah, I-Y-K-Y-K
I-Y-K-Y-K, ah, I-Y-K-Y-K
If you know, you know
I-Y-K-Y-K, ah, I-Y-K-Y-K
I-Y-K-Y-K, ah, I-Y-K-Y-K
If you know, you know
