It's astounding. Time is fleeting. Madness takes its toll. But listen closely, not for very much longer. I've got to keep control. I remember doing the Time Warp, drinking those moments when the blackness would hit me and the void would be calling LET'S DO THE TIME WARP AGAIN!"

When I get the paper, I read it through and through, and my girl never fails to see if there is any work for meeeeeeeeee. I better go back to the house, and hear that woman's mouth preachin' and a-cryin', tellin' me that I'm lyin' about a job that I never could find. Sha-na-na-na sha-na-na-na-na.

Here I am, praying for this moment to last, living in the music so fine, out on the wind, making it mine.

We take the pressure and we throw it away. Conventionality belongs to yesterday. There ain't no danger we can take it too far, we start believing now that we can be who we are. Grease is the word, it's got move it's got meaning. Grease is the time, it's the place, it's the motion. Grease is the way we are feeling.
