What makes you wander far
Don’t know who you are
Now if the vibe is right
I’ll go out tonight

Cause it’s Buzzcity talking
it’s Buzzcity talking
Go and find a late night bar
If I’m not back, leave the door ajar
It’s Buzzcity talking
Talking to me

We have sickness in our hair
We have time to spare
You close another door
Break another law when it’s

Fast, night goes fast
Oh! Oh! Oh!
