Your mouth don't move but I can hear you speak

What's the matter with the boy?
A
He don't come around no more
B
Is he checking out for sure?
B
A
E
Is he gonna close the door on me?
I'm always hearing voices on the street
I want to shout, but I can't hardly speak
I was making love last night
To a dancer friend of mine
I can't seem to stay in step
Come every time that she pirouettes over me
B
And I only get my rocks off while I'm dreaming
A
E
I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping
I'm zipping through the days at lightning speed
Plug in, flush out and fire the fucking feed
Heading for the overload
Splattered on the dirty road
Kick me like you've kicked before
I can't even feel the pain no more
And I only get my rocks off while I'm dreaming
I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping
And I only get my rocks off while I'm dreaming
I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping

B
It's all mesmerized all that inside me
The sunshine bores the daylights out of me
Chasing shadows moonlight mystery
Headed for the overload
Splattered on the dirty road
Kick me like you've kicked before
I can't even feel the pain no more
And I only get my rocks off while I'm dreaming
I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping

I wanna tell you 'bout a dance
That's going around
Everybody's doing it
From the grownups down
Don't move your head
Don't move your hands
Don't move your lips
Just shake your hips
Do the hip shake, babe
Do the hip shake, babe
Shake your hip, babe
Shake your hip, babe
Well if you don't know
Don't be afraid
Just listen to me
And do what I say
Don't move your head
Don't move your hands
Don't move your lips
Just shake your hips
Do the hip shake, babe
Do the hip shake, babe
Shake your hip, babe
Shake your hip, babe
Now ain't that easy?
Well, I met a little girl
In a country town
She said, What do you know
There's Slim Harpo!
Didn't move her head
Didn't move her hands
Didn't move her lips
Just shake your hips
Do the hip shake, babe
Do the hip shake, babe
Shake your hip, babe
Shake your hip, babe
Well ain't that easy?

Wounded lover, got no time on hand
One last cycle, thrill freak Uncle Sam
Pause for business, hope you'll understand
Judge and jury walk out hand in hand
Dietrich movies, close up boogies, kissing cunt in Cannes
Grotesque music, million dollar sad
Got no tactics, got no time on hand
Left shoe shuffle, right shoe muffle, sinking in the sand
Fade out freedom, steaming heat on, watch that hat in black
Finger twitching, got no time on hand
