We’re goin’ round
Tryin’ to get higher
Better come down
There’s gonna be a fire
We’re goin’ round
Tryin’ to get higher
Better come down
There’s gonna be a fire

Smother that, hey
Smother that, hey y’all

The moment of truth is near
And my body trembles with fear
Just like you I’m a guilty one
Thinkin’ bout nothin’ but havin’
me some fun

Time’s drawing now no place to hide
Hide hide hide hide.

We’re goin’ round
Tryin’ to get higher
Better come down
There’s gonna be a fire
We’re goin’ round
Tryin’ to get higher
Better come down
Gonna be a fire.

Smother that, hey
Smother that, hey y’all
We all got to do our part
Lend a hand and open up your heart
It’s all up to me and you
We gotta get ready for the moment of truth.

Come on down, come on down,
come on down
Come on down, come on down
come on down
